Decree Signed Authorizing Paving
Havana and Building Sewer.


Havana, June Ex-Governor Magoon
signed decree authorizing McGiv-
ney g. Rokeby to carry out their con-
tract for the construction OF sewer
and water system in Havana, and the
paving of the city. This work will cost
about $11 900, 900, one-third of which is
to be paid by the city and the remand
er by the Cuban government. It is ex-
pected that work will begin within q
few weeks.
EARLY in February Secretary Taft,
with the concurrence Of Secretary Root
and the approval Of the president,
ruled that the contract awarded. by
Gov. Gen. Wood to McGivney and Ro-
keby must be carried out. This decision
followed the hearings on the case.
which was one of the most important
taken to Washington by Governor Ma
goon for final adjudication.
The work under this contract Is to
be completed within four years. In
reaching the decision both Secretary
Taft and Secretary Root adhered to the
argument that under the terms of the
Platt amendment Cuba was bound to
take this precaution against insanitary
conditions in Havana.

ABUSES ORDERED TO cEAsE
Commission Points Out Wherein Lsw
is Being Violated - Warning Issust
After Examination Of Books Of csr-
ryins Companies = NESTING callse
to Take Action. q

s
Chicago, June 23.-The interstats
commerce commission has brought the
! railroads up with a short turn with
respect to certain abuses which are
claimed to have been discovered In the
issuance Of passes. sxsss
Owing to the fact that a sharp warnS
ing has been issued by the commission
that the alleged abuses must cease, the
passenger representatives of Chicae0
railroads have called general meat
ing for today to try to decide upon
uniform action. The warning Of the
commission was issued In the form Of
q circular bearing the signatures Of ev.
cry commissioner. The circular - h
effect an order to stop Issuing PASSES
to six different classes Of people. whom
the commission declares are not
among the privileged classes named In
the Hepburn act.
Among those not included in the pro-:
visions of the pass portion Of the act
are the following, according to ,the'
commission:
1. Officers or employees Of news cons
panies other than newsboys
2. Officers or employees of telegraph
or telephone companies excepting
when personally engaged in opera
ton, extension, repair or inspection Of
| lines upon or along the railroad right
of-way and used in connection with the
operation of the railroad
! 3. Officers or employees OF surety
!; transfer and baggage companies ssx-
cept baggage agents.
not subject to the act to regulate
commerce. including officers and
agents of steamship and stage lines not
, subject thereto
5. Officers or employees Of subsidi-
ary corporations, which corporations
engage in any employment for or ren-
der any service to others than the car
rier, save that officers or employees may
be granted free Transportation whom
engaged in the business of the carrier.
6. Families Of local attorneys, SURE
geons and others who are not regularly
employed by the carriers.
; The ruling was made, after an ex-.
haustive examination OF the books Of
the carriers by the inspectors Of the
commission. Most Of the alleged in-
fractions Of the pass law are admitted
by the commission to, fbe due to a
; construction of the act which does not
agree with the construction placed
upon it by the commission. The circu-
lar also states "That the commission
will regard it as breach Of law to
tissue annual passes to those to whom
such passes may probably be given
unless the name Of the person or per-
sons to whom given is specifically
written or printed thereon. Where
transportation is issued to an officer or
employe Of railroad and family the.
names Of the members ok the family
included must be designated"
The commission warns carriers
against the destruction Of records o.
memoranda touching the issuance Of
passes or Of the passes themselves.
Both the passes and the record must
be preserved for period Of five years.

Chicago, June 23.-The illness of
Congressman Sherman today was re-
ceived among members Of the national
committee, who are still in the city,
with great regret, and all express a
sincere hope for his recovery. The ques-
ton naturally arose as to what course
would be taken for filling the vacancy
in the event of his demise. While there
is no precedent to guide the commit
tee, it was the opinion Of Chairman
New and the other committeeman
that the national committee has au-
thority to name candidate for vice
president. 1t was pointed out that rep
resentatives of states on the national
committee stand in the place of state
delegations to the national convention,
therefore it has authority to act for the
delegation should a vacancy on the ma
tional ticket occur. New said that if
such contingency should arise and
there was sufficient time to do so be-
fore the election, the committee would
re assemble the convention and have
the nomination made in the regular
way.

Committee Could Fill Vacancy.


Washington, June 23-So far as
known no power is vested in the repub-
Iican national committee to fill va
cancy on the presidential or vice pres
identialty, that might occur between
the date Of the nominating convention
and the first Tuesday in November fol-
lowing. A hasty study Of precedents
shows no emergency has arisen in the
history Of the republic such as would
result from the death or retirement
of one of the candidates before elec-
ton day. OF course, there can be no
statutory law on the subject because
not only the national committees but
the conventions that create them are
extra officials, and have no standing
in law Therefore there is nothing to
prevent the committee from filling a
vacancy on the ticket, but Of course the
committee would be answerable to the
outraged sense of a great party which
il. represented, if a blunder in the Sc
lection was made.
