Subject to an agreement by which
the suit to declare a forfeiture on

fore the fourth Monday in May-the
City Council last night ordered the
dismissal of the suit already
brought The vote was three and
three, Mayor Hawkins ybting in
favor of the proposition, and break
ing the tie.
1t had been tacitly agreed among
the members, apparently, that no new
business of Importance was to be
taken up, as last night was the last
meeting of the present Council.
The matter was brought up on a
request from President Walker, of
the Americus Railway e Light Com
pany, that the suit be dismissed for
the effect it would have on the pur-
chasers of bonds for the street rail-
way, in the somewhat animated dis
cussion which followed, it was NOV

President Walkers Request

While the City Council was under
the head of new business, President
Walker arose and stated that he had
a matter he desired to bring up. He
referred to the reduction in the
price of gas and said that the street
railway would be ready in May,

been published in electrical papers
that Americus had rejected what is
known as the Dodson contract, and
would build a plant of its own for
lighting and water pumping. This
had tended to frighten those who

He said that the present suit
acted in the nature of a cloud on the

AMINERs AND CLERKS.

In a statement issued from the Of
fee OF state Treasurer r.. F.. Park,
complaint is made cf the small force
Of bank examiners employed there to
look after state banks, and amend
ments to the hank bureau Bill are
urged
The statement goes en- to say that
out Of 49, banks, 81 had not been
examined by July j and mat two an
nual examinations, two aIAts and
four quarterly sW IN statements were
required. making q total If 3.725 re-
ports which must be gone through
with.
Concluding the statement says.
For years the treasurer OF Geor-
gia has been required to pay several
hundred dollars per annum on his
$2g0008,G9 bond ouJ OF his own pay
and deduct it fr m his small salary,
for Z is small when you consider thai
he handles twice per annum $500
10000, or total of neatly ten mil
lions OF dollars, ana that with only
enc authorized constitutional clerk.
There Is no other institution that
pays small a salary On such an i'm.
mense possibility. There are banks
in Atlanta that pay $4,000, per annum
salary for the president and 1900 for
the vice president. $4,000 per annum
for the cashier, and many bookkeep
ers get more than $4,000 per annum,
with no pecuniary responsibility and
no handling OF funds.
An these banks pay the bonds Of
their cashiers and te!lers. and do not
require them to take II out their

URGES HALLS ACQUITTAL.
Webster Makes Earnest Argument for
His Client.

Portland, Feb. ABLY and with in
tense earnestness Judge Lionel R. Web
ster yesterday advocated the cause of
John R. Hall, ex-United States attor-
ney, before a jury in the United States
court. Counsel was unable to con-
clude before court adjourned at 5
O'Clock and will resume this morning
at 10 o'clock. Although his argument
was confined to a review Of the testi-
mony almost exclusively, Judge Web
ster pleaded loyalty and eloquently in
behalf of the man who for years had
been his faithful and intimate personal
and political friend.
Judge Webster prefaced his address
with brief discussion of the re p nsi-
BILE duty of Juror together with def.
milton Of the charge of conspiracy on
which Hall is being tried. At the out
set of his remarks, counsel for the de-
fendant took issue with Mr.. Heney,
who, in his opening argument Wednes-
day, asserted that the failure of prose-
cutting officials to discharge their duty
and to enforce the laws was rotting and
decaying the very foundations of re-
publican form of government.

PUBLIC PRINTER REMOVED.
Is Accused of Many Irregularities in
Government Office.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Just as the
presidents action in suspending Public
Printer Stillings and appointing Will
liam S. Rossiter to perform his duties
was being announced today, commit
tee of labor leaders of this city, accom-
panied by Representative Gary, of Wis
consin, called at the White House and
presented to the president resolution
adopted by the Central Labor union
here, charging Mr.. Stillings with vio-
lations of the eight-hour law in the
government printing office, and added:
cit is difficult at this time to get
witnesses against Mr.. Stillings, for the
reason that manv OF them are employed
in the government printing office and
directly under his charge. We hope,
however, to follow up our oral state
ment with affidavits, if necessary.
The president informed the commit
tee of the action he had already taken
in the case.
Resolutions by numerous labor Or
ganizations in various cities charging
violation in the government printing
office of the eight hour day, discrimina-
ton against veteran soldiers and the
widows of soldiers and violation of the
civil service law have been submitted to
congress and the president.
Mr.. Stillngs is from Boston and was
appointed public printer in 1905. He
had been general manager of his faith
er's printing firm in New York and at
various times manager of the Printers
Board of Trade of that city and of New
York. Mr.. Rossiter also came from
Massachusetts and had business conn &C.
tions in New York and Washington be-
fore assuming Office in the census bu-
rean in 1890.

MANY STATES
STORM SWEPT
East and Middle West Suffer From
Severe Cold.
Conditions in New England Worst Of
Present Winter-Many Fatal Snow
Slides In Colorado. Billiards In
Michigan, and Bad Sleet Storm
in Illinois.

New York, Feb. 6.-Large districts
of the East and Middle West are suffer-
ing from cold wave of unusual severi-
ty. Reports from many localities are
to the EFFECT that the extreme cold is
coupled with fall of snow of sufficient
depth to interfere with transportation
facilities, while several fatalities have
occurred. A sleet storm in the Middle
Vest has added to the general discom-
fort.
All OF the charitable institutions are
over crowded and many homeless men,
to keep from freezing, have been forced
to huddIe around fires in the open
streets. The whole state is in an icy
grip, the mercury falling to record Of
as degrees below in the vicinity of
Ballston.
Other fatalities are reported from
Colorado, where numerous snow slides
have occurred in the mining districts.
Weather conditions throughout New
England are the worst of the present
winter. The cold snap is general in
that section, although no fatalities have

reports the coldest wether in New Eng
land, with the mercury registering "a

The lake region is also feeling the
cold. Michigan is in the grasp Of se-
we're blizzard, in which zero weather is
combined with binding storm.
Railway traffic is completely paralyzed
in many parts of Michigan and the
storm shows no sign of abatement.
Chicago last night experienced one OF
the worst sleet storms in years. There
was much suffering from the icy blasts
and traffic on the electric lines was al.
most completely demoralized, although
steam trains were operated.
In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania
snow fell to depth of more than a
foot. 1t was extremely cold throughout
the mountainous regions, the mercury
dropping as low as Is degrees below ze-
ro. Service of both steam and electric
lines was crippled and there was con-
siderable suffering.

DRAWING TO CLOSE.
Evidence in Hall Land Fraud Case Is
Nearly All Submitted.

Portland, Feb. 4.-Harry E. Northup
last night positively identified govern
ment's exhibit No. 7-PutDam's map
to Hall showing the alleged unlawful
fences of the Butte Creek company in
1900. With this Identification Heney
considers that the governments case
against John H. Hall has been strength
ened materially. At last nights ses-
sion of court Northup testified that
from 1899 until 1904 he was employed
as clerk in The Dalles land Office, and
identified the township map offered in
evidence by the government as the one
he prepared personally for Mr.. Putnam
in November, 1899.
Final arguments in the trial of John
H. Hall will probably begin this after
noon. This morning Francis j. Heney
will complete the introduction of re-
buttal testimony for the government.
Hall may be recalled further to testify
in his own defense, but it is believed
all evidence will be submitted in time
for the closing argument to begin be-
fore court adjourns this afternoon.

FAIR BILL PASSES.
Senate Stands by Seattle With Almost
Unanimous Vote.

Washington, Feb. THE Seattle
exposition bill went through the senate
yesterday by practically unanimous
vote. Burkett, who threatened to dc
all manner of things to defeat it, made
vicious attack and thundered loudly
for half an hour. When he concluded,
several senators spoke in behalf Of the
bill, and, when Piles moved it's pas
sage, barely voice save that OF Bur-
kett was heard in opposition.
Burkett's antagonism ally strength
ened the bill, for he is generally dis.
liked in the senate, and his onslaught
created sympathy for Piles, who was
pressing the bill.
The house committee will now take
up and report the senate bill, instead
of that introduced by Congressman
Humphrey.
In the discussion before the vote was
taken, Burkett opposed the bill, as he
said he had opposed every other bill
for that purpose since he had been in
congress. Hesaid the proposition to
hold the exposition did not originate in
Alaska.
at has been put forward" he said,
"by lot of boomers Of Seattle, who
purpose to boom their real estate and
their private interests. B."
Bulkett read list Of expeditions in
the United States showing that $780,
$50, ,727 had been expended by congress
in aid of them.
Tillman supported the idea Of expo
sitions, saying the Charleston exposi-
tion had brought many people from the
North to be "civilized there"
Carter believed the idea of equity
should influence congress in appropriate
ing for sn exposition in the Far West,
as so little had been done in aid OF
that section.

WAR WITHIN 80 DAYS
So Says Japanese Newspaper. Or
Not at All.

Washington-An interesting and
very singular comment on the Japan
ese-American situation appears in an
article in japanese contained in the
Canadian News the japanese news
paper of Vancouver. In part it is as
follows:
Minister Hayashi recently stated
that the number of passports issued
by his government had been greatly
reduced of late, and promised that
hereafter only the central govern
ment would issue passports. He de-
manded that the American govern
ment should guarantee that no eNclu-
sion act should be passed. Ambassa-
dor O'Brien replied that the Presi-
dent could not make such a guaran-
tee since it would be an act of dis
courtesy to congress, but he would
endeayor to prevent the passage of
exclusion legislation. At present the
negotiations are approaching salts
factory conclusion, but the army and
navy headquarters are preparing for
possible emergencies.
lt is reported that the British For
eign Minister has given notice that
in the event of a Japanese-American
war, Japan could not count on Eng
lands aid; and not only so, but it
is believed in Washington that no
nation but France would give aid TO
Japan. If Japan is to fight. she must
begin within the next 80 days, or by
that time the American fleet will
have reached the coast of California.
But our State Department declares
that there is hope for a satisfactory
of the matter.

SOLEMN WARMING TO GAR.
Russian Paper Hints He May Share
Carlos Fate.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-The tragic
occurrences al Lisbon have created
deep i'm preston on all sections of soci-
ETY. here, and the newspapers that ap-
peared today comment freely on the
events that occurred.
The Russ, in daring style, draws a
thinly veiled parallel Setween condi-
tions in Portugal and Russia and warns
the government in almost so many
words that there is danger of similar
event here.
The Novoe Vremya, although attrib.
uting the direct execution of the plot to
anarchists, tc whom all government is
obnoxious, also connects the crime and
the dictatorship of Franco, which met
with both open and secret resistance
from all political parties.
