pay the expenses of distributing the

In some ways the most cosmopolitan
region on the face of the globe, and
consequently with strong ties binding
it to many countries, Hawaii covets
visible and tangible evidences of its
American rights and privileges. This
lack the presence of the feet supplies.
Hawaii is enthusiastically welcoming
ffour" warships. The sense of owner
ship and protection afforded by the
spectacular armada stirs new emotions
in the Hawaiian breast. These mighty
fighting machines, and the army of men
they hold, are an inspiring evidence of
the strength and care of the nation of
which Hawaii is a part. Hitherto, the
thin line of cable which has connected
the Territory with the mainland has
been the bond of union most in evil
dence. Henceforth, though. the breast
of Hawaii swells proudly in conscious
ness that it has beheld the glory and
power of 'tour country. ''-Philadel

AGRICULTURAL BILL CARRIES
SMALLER APPROPRIATION
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The agri-
cultural appropriation bill which was
reported to the senate today by the
agricultural committee. carries a sum
not so large a has been voted in pre-
vious years-$11 GAP ,146 an increase of
S133, ,340 over the amount of the bill as
passed by the house.
The senate committee recommended
an appropriation of $4,000 for cooper
alton between the department of ag-
riculture and the reclamation service
in demonstrating the feasibility of
crop production on lands of the lat
ter service. Another item of $4,000
was recommended for the purpose of
securing hardy forage plants from ST.
IBERIA for use on the northern portion
of the Great Plains area.
The report of the committee says:
"The great need in all these regions
is for leguminous forage crops which
will serve not only to maintain nor
NAL husbandry, but build up the soil
which will otherwise be utterly de-
pleted by the one crop system now
in vogue"
An amendment was made by the
committee to the provision in regard
to fixing definite grades of grain SC
that such grades when fixed shall be.

The dictum was made when a reso-

breach to have been committed was
tabled, 146 to 119. The vote was pre-
ceded by statements by Mr.. Williams
and the speaker.
After disclaiming that as a result of
the incident there would be a per-

speaker Mr.. Williams maintained the
action was an unprecedented parlia-

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The house

Gently introduced by Chairman Fow-
Ter providing for currency commits
sion to consist of forty-three members,
eleven members of the senate, eleven
members of the house, and twenty-one
others, who must be citizens of the
United States.
The action of the committee was
taken late in the afternoon, after a
meeting lasting all day.
Representative Vreeland appeared
before the committee and made long
argument in favor of his bill, saying
it would be criminal negligence for
congress to adjourn without passing
some measure of protection in event
of another panic this fall. He did not,
however. think that panic was I'M
minent.
The committee went into executive
session to consider the measure. The
discussion over it was more protracted
than over the Aldrich bill. which was
tabled last week by unanimous vote.
The Vreeland bill had some support
ers. and when the vote on the motion
to table 1t was taken. Messrs. Weeks
of Massa chusetts. Burton of Ohio and

WouId-Be Assassin Cannot Be Held

BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20,-Is a
man under quarantine on a British ship
in this port amenable to the laws OF
California, the United States or those
of Great Britain, or is he free to do as
he chooses without being liable TO pun
ishment under the laws of any country
This is the question that is worrying
Captain William Rae of the British ship
Alerton, which has been in port a
month, and United States District At
torney Devlin Shipping Commissioner
Heacock and British Consul General
Walter Risley Hearn have all been
called upon TO give an opinion as to the
law in the case.
At midnight Sunday Albert Pru-
sanszky, a sailor on board the Alerton,
who is under quarantine because he is
infected with trachoma, stabbed Ru-
dolph Rubandt, another sailor, in the
back, wounding him seriously and now
PrunsansZky sits on the rail of the ship
and defies anyone to arrest him.
A few minutes after the stabbing two
policeman arrived at the ship to arrest
Prusanszky, but on learning that he
was under quarantine for trachoma
they refused to remove him from the
ship, stating it would be violation OF
the federal law to do so.
Captain Rae then started to put the
Would-be assassin in irons, but the
sailor quoted from the British law, pre-
venting the captain of any British shiI
from OBTAINING "A sailor on board the
ship in port. Captain -.ae was forced
to admit the man was right, and did
not wish to risk having his license TAX

laws under which he sails.
This morning Captain Rae visited
Consul General Hearn and put the
case before him.
Il don't see what you can do about
it," was all the help that Hearn could
offer. "The man is not under the juris
dition of the California courts until ht
lands on California SOIL and is not per

antinc. / think that the only thine
YOU can do is to wait until you get Il
