CITY MUST JOIN
IN THE COMPLAI
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ACTION
DISMISSED BY RAILROAD
COMMISSION.
STATE ASKS THAT ALTERN-
ATIVE WRIT IN BOND CASE
BE QUASHED.
Madison, Jan. 2

Because the citizens of Sheboygan
who demand better water and light
service from the utility corporation
of that place did not bring their
matter to the railroad commission in
the proper manner, they will have to
begin all over again.
After the action had been brought
and issue joined, and even after a
hearing had been had before the com
mission and was about to be con-
cluded, Commissioner J. H. Roemer
asked the petitioners how they came
to make the complaint as COM
mittee instead of having the common
council join in the compliant.
The answer was that the commit
tee had made the demands upon the
company and upon being denied what
was requested, the same committee
brought the grievance to the com
mission.
The point was further investigated
and the commission has rendered a
decision to the effect that in case of
complaints against utility corpora
tons in incorporated cities the city
council must father the complaint in
order to give the commission juris
dicton in the matter, therefore the
present complaint was dismissed.
Move to Quash Writ.
The railroad commission has moved
to dismiss the alternative writ of
mandamus sworn out by the $500"
road because the commission refused
to grant permission to issue bonds.
The commission is represented by
Attorney General Gilbert, and claims
that neither the petition nor the al
tentative writ state sufficient facts.

close of a day of excitement in the
house Of Representatives an amend
ment was added to the penal code bill
making it a criminal offense for any
officer or employe of the government

Washington, Jan. 22.-The senate
spent over an hour discussing a reso-
luton offered by Senator Hansborough
Of North Dakota, directing the depart
ment Of commerce and labor to sus-
pend it's investigation into the af-
fairs of the International Harvester
company, which was ordered by reso-
luton over a year ago. During the
discussion Senator Hansborough de-
clared that the trust is atten pting to
control the selection of delegates to
the next republican national conven-
ton and is especially plotting to defeat
him for reelection to IT, senate. Inc
resolution was referred to a commit
tee. Senator Buckley introduced a bill
recurring bank deposits in reserve
banks to be maintained at so per cent
of their original amount, and proyid-
ing that no interest shall be paid on
such reserve deposits. A bill organ
izing the state militia in such manner
as to make It conform to the organIza-
ton and equipment Of the regular
army was introduced by Senator Dick.
Rapid progress was made in the
house in the consideration Of the bill
to codify and revise the penal laws OF
the United States. The only amend
ment Of any Importance which got
through was one by Mr.. James of Ken
lucky, making it a criminal offense,
under heavy penalty, to falsffy govern
ment crop statistics. the object Of
the amendment being to protect cotton
and tobacco growers from spectators.

Washington, Jan. 24.-An attack on
the power of the speaker was made
in the house by Mr.. Shackelford of
Missouri during consideration of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill.
He said Speaker Cannon was the
'ablest, boldest champion of auto
cracy this age has produced" and de-
clared that the speaker exercised
greater despotism than exists IN any
monarchy in Europe"
Speaker Cannon at this juncture
entered the chamber and amid ap-
plause took a seat in front of Mr..
Shackeiford, who asserted that before
any bill could pass you must bend
your noble bodies forward in proper
pose, fold your hands and say:
ooh Lord, Uncle Joe Cannon, thy
will be done and not mine"
lie challenged Cannon ito rise in
his place, not as speaker, but as a
member of the Illinois delegation and
tell us how and when it was he
shouldered the responsibility for the
legislation that was to be here en-
acted, by simply becoming a mod
orator of this deEberative assembly"
Speaker Cannon laughed.
Mr. Bede of Minnesota introduced a
bill appropriating 100000 for the
construction of a first class revenue
cutter for use on Lake Superior.

Over 90 pages of the bill were dis

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Stone of Missouri presented statistics
of government deposits in national
banks to show that the distribution of
money during the recent currency
stringency was not equitable" as cen
templated by the law governing the
treasury department. He declared
the west and south were Disseminated
against, while New York and Boston
were favored. His speech was on his
resolution pending in the senate direct
ing committee to investigate and re-
port the facts in these transactions.
Senator Teller followed with brief
comment upon the action of the secre-
tary of the treasury, declaring the
placing of money in New York city
| He paid a high tribute to the rich
men who, he said, had promptly Of
fered practically their entire capital

in that city which threatened the en-
tire country.

ally. A discussion on tariff revision
was injected into the proceedings, in
Which the leaders of both sides tried
to commit one another to a definite an,

would be tariff legislation. Without
completing the consideration of the
bill, the house adjourned.

one-half, or only 46 per cent, are en-
rolled in schools. There is one coun-
~ in the State where more than one
third OF the white population can
neither read nor write. This condi-
tion is not confined entirely to the
mountains. There are more native
white illiterates i'm the Blue Grass
counties than in the entire State of
Massachusetts, or Maine. The for
eign-born citizen in Kentucky is bet
ter educated than the native born.
SO, considering the amount Of
money expended and the fact that
more than one-half OF the taxes every
taxpayer pays the Sheriff goes for
school purposes, our common school
system in Kentucky has been bus
mess failure.
The intention of the last General
Assembly was to provide a system I'M
der whisn our school money would not
be wasted, and for which we would
get some adequate result. II alse
desired to remove from our State the
black blot OF illiteracy. and TO take
Kentucky from near the bottom Of
the American Commonwealth, cd
ucationally, and place her where she
should be.
These laws received the support Of
a large majority of Democrats and
Republicans in both Houses and were
signed by the Governor.
All true Kentuckians desire that
peace, prosperity and respect for law.
and Cor the right of person and prop
erty shall prevail throughout our
borders. Better schools and more
churches are the mightest factors
excepting God alone-which can aid
us in reaching this desired end.

HIGHS STILL
ON BAD SIDE

In. the game of interscholastic base
ball played yesterday between the
nine representing the Honolulu High
School and the aggregation ON Oahu
College. the latter won by an eight to
three score.
II was a slow game, though in the
matter of errors, both teams showed
commendable improvement. During
the early part of the game Marcallino
for the Highs made a fine showing
which, unfortunately, he did not keep
up. White of the same team was a
hard hitter. several two and three bag
gers being chalked up to his credit.
A feature of the game was the
double play made by Punahou. Desha
at shortstop caught a bee-liner, threw
il rapidly to second and put a man
out there, Dodge at second keeping
up the good work by putting the bat
ter out just as he reached first by
throwing TO Lidgate. The lineup of
both teams follows:

FAKE JAP sAILoR AND ALMY.

Almy's the wise one, or so say the
multitudinous and assorted folks who
seek his sanctum for money, advice,
documents and cigarettes. Yesterday
a japanese endeavored to ffoist him
self on the United States Shipping
Commissioner with a discharge from
another man, said discharge being the
rightful property of sailor who had
been discharged on August IS, 1907, in
Valparaiso, from the wrecked ship
Title E. Starbuck. The Japanese
could not say where the ship, from
which he had allegedly gotten his pa
pers, now was; in fact, he did not know
she was wrecked, and he was sup
posed. according to the papers he pre-
sented, to have been one of the ship
wrecked crew. ]. Hama, now aboard
the Dirigo in port, owns the papers,
and he was another Japanese who at
tempted to pass the discharge as his
own, on Amy. in an attempt to get
signed on the Kaiulani.
