Washington, May 1i-An important
circular issued today by the interstate
commerce commission contains two
administrative rulings which are OF
special interest both to the railroads
and to the shipping public. In the
first the commission expresses the
opinion that under the law a carrier
or a person or corporation operating
a railroad or other transportation line
cannot act as a shipper over the lines
of another carrier or be given any
preference in the application of tariff
rates on interstate shipping.
Public Rate Only.
In other wards. one carrier shipping
lines of another carrier must pay the
legal tariff rates applicable to the
same commodities shipped by an in
diyidual
1t is said there probably is not a
railroad in the country that has TO
pay the regular traffic on any of its
supplies from the initial point TO the
point OF destination. This is espe-
cially true of coal used by the rail
roads for fuel purposes. The commits
sion holds, in effect, that this is dis
elimination, and that the railroad
must pay the same tariff as the indi-
vidual.
Stray Shipments.
The second ruling relates to the re
turn of stray. shipmenEsx
Instances occur" says the commits
sion. in which, through error or over
sight on the part of some agent or
employe. a shipment is billed to an
erroneous destination or is unloaded
short of destination or is carried by.
The commission is of the opinion that
in bOnafide instances of this kind car
rierS may return such stray ship
ments for each other on mutually ac-
ceptable terms without the necessity

GOVERNOR FREAR'S
OFFICIAL FAMILY
INDICATION THAT HE DOES
NOT WANT TO MAKE MANY
CHANGES.

What changes are to be made in the
heads of departments by Judge Frear.
the newly appointed Governor of the
Territory, is problem which is caus-
ing a good deal of speculation in these
same departments just at present.
With only one or two exceptions it is
understood that all of the present in
cumbents are candidates for reappoint-
ment, although as customary matter
of courtesy all have rendered their
designations, or will do so to the in
coming executive.
Judge Frear has not made up his
mind about the matter either, or at
least he is not ready to indicate his
intentions. There is strong reason to
believe, however, that he does not con-
template making many changes in the
personnel of the official family as it
at present exists, and this belief is
most gratifying to the various officials.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing, Judge Frear said that he had not
as yet given it much serious thought,
and that the only changes he was sure
of were those who nave indicated to
him that they do not desire reappoint-
ment. Among these is Attorney Gen
eral Peters who Immediately on the
new Governor taking his seat will op-
en- his private practice again.
Judge Frear, who will take the seat
of Governor of the Territory probably
about the 18th of next month, exhibit
ed at his Office this morning his COM
mission to his new Office which arriv-
ed by the last mail, but which he did
not receive until his arrival at his
summer home on Tantalus after his
vacation spent on Kauai. The docu-
ment is what is known as a vacation
commission" and is signed only by
President Roosevelt. 1t is dated June
Goth, and is good only until the end of
the next Session of the Senate of the
United States When the next session
of the Congress meets next December,
a new commission will be made out to
supersede the one issued by the Presi-
dent, and this will be dated from the
time the Senate approves the appoint

nRESIOENCE" CLAUSE
IS TO Be TESTED
lection as that which affects Judge Ha-
(Coninued from Page One) .

Land Commissioner Pratt in refer
ring to the Hapai case above mention
ed, stated that it would probably set
tie eight or ten other cases at the same
place, which are in the same position.
"The real question to be settled"
said Mr.. Pratt, ''is in reference to the
residence provision of the land laws.
Our contention is that they have not
complied with the letter or at least the
spirit of the law which requires that
besides doing a certain amount of cul-
tivation of their claims, the holders
shall make their residence on the
property for a period Of two years. In
Judge Hapai's case he erected house
on the land and furnished it, and oc-
casionally visited it. His residence,
however, for by far the most part has
been in Hilo.
Judge Hapai is a member of what
is known as the Kaihenui Settlement
Association, which is made up of elev-
en- members, and is located on the olaa
Homestead reservation only about 10
miles from Hilo. The lots contain
from 26 to 80 acres each, and have
an assessed valuation of $12 per acre"
Mr.. Pratt stated that the land on
which the Association is located is
good agricultural land, and that all of
the members have observed all the re-
quirements of the law with the excep-
ton Of the sreidence clause.

WELI-COLONEL JOHNSON so FAR THE LEADER
QUITE A MARGIN-A LIST OF ALI. THE RECORDS

The results of the Territorial Rifle
competition of the National Guard of
Hawaii, which is now in progress, are
extremely flattering, and it seems that
the team which will be picked out
from the best shots to represent the
Territory in the great international
contest to take place in Ohio begin
ming August 2Sth should make a splen-
did showing. The officers have con-
tinually made the best records with
few exceptions, for the reason that
most officers have been in the service
for the greater length of time and
have had much more practice than the
average run of the enlisted men.
Up to the present time Col. Sam
Johnson LEADS the bunch having sue
ceeded in winning his expert record.
AS yet he is the only one who has shot
for this, and there may be number
of others.
Following is the way the men stand
in shooting. Those who have made
the sharpshooter's course have the fol-
lowing totals out of $50 shots fired at
various distances and conditions, anu
are qualified to compete for the expert

Merry Act OF Well DriIlers Averted
Fearful Disaster.

Two oil we'll drillers, Earl Sheets
and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction,
underwent an experience last week
that would make Feature" for life
and death melodrama, says the Kan
sas City Star. The two men we're SUI
perintending the shooting of we'll.
Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin
had been brought to the well to be
used in the shot.
A "shell' containing 80 quarts had
been lowered, but it stuck in the well.
The operators thought they could
shove the can on down in the we'll by
letting the baler down in the we'll on
top of 1t. The plan appeared to have
worked all right, and the baler was
drawn up out of the we'll, and part
way up toward the top of the derrick
before the Mortified spectators noticed
that the can Of deadly explosive had
caught in the baler and was then
dangling in the air, ready to fall
Just as Sheets and Winks looked up,
the shell came loose and started to-.
ward the ground. Realizing that if it
ever hit the ground these 30 quarts of
nitro would explode and kill everyone
In the vicinity, the two men with pres
ence OF mind, ran under 1t and caught

in this, not one of the spectators
would have lived to tell the story"
