GOVERNOR WRITES

Secretary Mott-Smith received two
letters from Governor Frear yester-
day, telling of the work which the
Territorial Executive has been doing
in Washington. He states that he
has gone deeply into the land ques-
ton but that many changes have been
made in the proposed amendments to
the land laws since the first draft, a
copy of which he sent here from San
Francisco.
In regard to the Federal site it is
merely stated that Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Winthrop has agreed
to postpone action till receipt of do
cuments from this city. That some
other influence had great effect is
shown by the fact that the matter was
decided without waiting for the ar
rival of the Honolulu resolutions.
Both letters take up at some length
, the matter of the coastwise shipping
| laws and the Governor deplores the
vacillating tendency of the CONNER
cial bodies of the city in the matter.
The Governor has been the guest of F.
H. Newell while in Washington and
has been given an office in the Recla-
nation Service building. He states
that he has been greatly assisted by
Secretary Garfield in many matters and
has had several conferences with Immi-
grafton Agent Trenor, finding out that
it is slow work in getting the Italians
started to this Territory.

FREIGHT Rates

So far as learned no private bust
ness advices have been received in
the mail regarding the increase of
transcontinental freight rates. An az
ticle in the San Francisco Chronicle of
December II contains this informa-
ton:
From Washington yesterday came
the announcement by the Interstate
Commerce Commission that transconti-
mental freight tariffs, beginning Janu-
airy LIST next will be advanced Is per
cent on all east bound traffic, both by
rail and water.
THAT is the first official information
concerning the scope of the threatened
increase of rates and it will be read
with great interest in California.
According to the advices the east
bound commodity rates from Cal fornI
and the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic
seaboard points will be advanced about
10 per cent on the average, some of
the items being as high as 60 per cent
and some as low as per cent.
1T is noticeable, say the dispatches,
that the bulk of the traffic moves under
the community rates, which show a
decided increase"
1t is believed, among business men
interviewed here today, that the in
crease of rates, being on eastbound
freight exclusively, will not affect Ha-
waiian business interests. AS before
mentioned the sugar carrying is un-
der a contract with several years &c
run.

BOOK OF RULES WITH
EACH MARRIAGE

LOS ANGELES, December S.-That
a book of instructions to young we'd
ded couples should be handed out with
every marriage license issued in Cali
fornia was the substance of a unique
plea made today to the assembled
Southern California members of the
Legislature by a committee represent
ing the Los Angeles Federation of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The demand that this plan be enacted
into a law struck the newly-elected
Solons like a bombshell, but they have
taken it under advisement.
No definite idea of the contents OF
the proposed instruction book is
vouchsafe. but it is understood strin-
gent regulations have been formulat-
ed by the women, and that they bear
down rather heavily on mere man.

CABRERA ENVOY
FATALLY INJURED
CRUSHED. UNDER AUTo-WASH-
INGToN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO
HURT.

WASHINGTON, December S.-Senor
Don Juan Barrios, Guatemalan Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, who is in Wash
ington on a special mission for his
government was probably fatally in
jured, and Senior Don Luis Toledo Her
rarte, Guatemalan Minister to the
United States, and General John Drum
mond, aged so, a wealthy coffee planter
in Guatemala, were badly hurt in an
automobile accident late today.
The diplomats were riding in heavy
touring car when it turned turtle, just
after passing over the highway bridge
into Virginia, the occupants being
hurled beneath the car and pinioned
underneath. When they were eX-
treated they were apparently uncon-
scious and were bleeding freely from
face and scalp wounds. George Star
ling, the chauffeur, sustained bruises
about the head and legs.
Senior Barrios, who was removed to
the Emergency Hospital in an am
bulance with the three occupants OF
the automobile is suffering from con-
cussion of the brain and is supposed
to have sustained a fracture of the
skull aside from internal injuries. Late
/ tonight he is still unconscious and his
condition is critical.
DR.. Herrarte was badly cut about the
/ face and body but his condition is not
! serious. General Drummond suffered
/ decorations of the face and head.
When the accident happened the
party was proceeding toward Mount
Vernon and Senior Barrios was carry
ing a massive wreath to place on the
tomb of Washington at the special re-
] quest of President Estrada Cabrera of
Guatemala.

WHITLEY FORCED
TO QUIT POST
PRESIDENT WEARY OF ARBITRA-
RY ACTIONS OF SHANGHAI
JUDGE.

NEW YORK, December S-A Wash
ington special to the World says that
Judge Lebbeus r. Wilfeys resignation
from the bench of the United States
Court at Shanghai, although voluntary
on its face, has been made necessary
because of the Presidents irritation
at his actions after his recent return
to China. Judge Wilney disbarred an
Italian lawyer from practice in his
court, thus making trouble with the
Italian Government possible; caused
the arrest of a Chinese subject on
charges of forgery, and brought the
prisoner to trial in his own court
which had no jurisdiction over a Chi
nese subject, and again refused to ad-
NIT to bail an American named Price
whose case was passed on by the Cir
cult Court of Appeals in California
which reversed Judge Wilhey's action
regarding Price Wilfey's course in
the Price matter was regarded as ty-
rannous.
The recent occurrences caused Pre-.
sident Roosevelt to conclude that Will
fey is not temperamentally fitted fol-
judicial duties.
A cable to the Herald from Shang
hal says: "While the questionable ele'
ment which long fought Judge Whitley
regards his removal as their victory
the general judgment in the American
colony is this action is simply the
recognition by the Washington au
thorities that the methods adopted by
Judge Whitley have operated to nullifN
| his efforts and discredited the Ameri
can court.
1.-The conservative American bust
ness element say that, while indorsin&
Wilfley's purposes, they have beer
alienated by his efforts to dictate ant
his general domineering attitude. The
recent action of the American Asso-
citation memorializing the Department
of Justice and Congress for the install
lation of the jury system and relief
from a one-man court is believed tC
have influenced the Washington au.
thorities."

Natural Resources.

We repeat the demand for interna-
tional development and for the con-
servation of our natural resources, con-
tanned in previous platforms, the en-
forcement of which Mr.. Roosevelt has
vainly sought fom a reluctant party
and to that end, we insist upon the
preservation, protection and replace
ment of needed forests, the preserva-
ton of the public domain for home
seekers, the protection of the national
resources in timber coal, iron and oil
against monopolistic control the de-
velopment of our waterways for navi-
CATION and every other useful. purpose,
and to such end, we urge the exercise
of all powers, national, state and mu-
nicipal, both separately and in Coop
Grafton.
We insist upon policy of admins
tration Of forest reserve which shall
relieve it of the abuses which have
arisen hereunder and which shall, as
far as practical, conform to the police
regulations of the several states
where they are located and which shall
furnish a system of timber sales avail
able as well to the private citizen as
to the large manufacture and consum-
er.

The PLATFORM.

Convention Hall, Denver, Col. July
9.-The following resolutions consti-
tuting substantially the entire plat
form of the Democratic national con-
vention have been adopted by the
committee on platform and will be
presented to the convention during the
night. There is every reason to sup
pose there will be approved by the
convention:
We, the representatives of the DEM
ocratic party of the United States in
national convention assembled. re-af-
firm our belief in, and pledge our lay
atty to the principles of the party
1--WE rejoice at the increasing signs
of IN awakening throughout the coun-
try. The various Investigations have
traced graft and political corruption to
the representatives of predatory
wealth, and laid bare the INSCRIPTIONS
methods by which they have debauch-
ed elections and preyed upon de-
fenceless public through the subser-
Went officials whom they have raised
to place and power.
"The conscience of the nation is now
aroused to free the government from
the grip of those who have made it a
business asset of the favor-seeking
corporations; it must become again a
peoples government, and be admins
tered in all it's departments according
to the Jeffersonian maxim of Equal
rights to all, special privileges to none
"Shall the people rule? Is the over
shadowing issue which manifests it
self in all the questions now under dis
cussion.

Arbitratary Power of Speaker.

The House of Representatives was
designated by the fathers of the consti-
tuition to be the popular branch OF
our government responsive to the pub
lie will.
The House of Representatives, as
controlled in recent years by the Re-
publican party, has ceased to be a
representative body responsive to the
will of a majority of it's members, but
has come under the absolute domina-
ton of the Speaker who as entire con-
troll Of it's deliberations and powers of
Legislation.
We demand that the House of Rep
resentatives shall again become de-
lucrative body, controlled by a ma
jority of the peoples representatives
and not by the Speaker, and we pledge
ourselves to adopt such rules and reg
ulations to govern the House of Rep
resentatives as will enable the ma
iOrty of it's members to direct its de-
alterations and control legislation.

Rankino.

The panic of 1907, coming without
any legitimate excuse when the Re-
publican party had for a decade been
IN complete power of the federal gov
eminent. furnishes additional proof
that it is either unwilling or incompe-
tent to protect the interests of the gem
eral public.
I'VE believe that insofar as the
needs OF commerce require an emer-
gency currency, such currency should
be issued. controlled by the federal
government, and loaned on adequate
security to national and state banks
we pledge ourselves to legislation I'M
der which the national banks shall
be required to establish guarantee
fund for the prompt payment of the
deposltors of any insolvent national
banks under an equitable system
winch shall be available to all state
banking institutions wishing to use it.
we favor postal savings bank, if
the guaranteed bank account be Sc
cured and that it be constituted so as
to keep the deposited money in COM
munities where it is established. But
we condemn the policy of the Repub-
mean party in providing postal saw
ings banks under a plan of conduct by
which those will aggregate the deposits
of rival communities and re-deposit
the same while under government
charge in the banks Of Wall street,
thus pledging the circulating medium
from the producing regions and un-
justly favoring the speculative mar
kets.

johnson Nominated,

The opportunity of the johnson sup
porters came when the roll call reach
ed Connecticut and that state gave
way to Minnesota.
Winfield s. Hammond of the latter
state took the stand amid a consider
able volume of applause to place in
nomination Gov. John A. johnson of
Minnesota
Mr. Hammond, although he was
speaking to mass of delegates who
had conclusively shown their prefer
ence for another candidate, made a
most favorable impression on the con-
vention for himself and his candidate.
The speaker, who is a powerful, portly
man, easily sent his voice to the
farthest corners of the hall, and his
speech was heard with marked atten-
ton.
When Mr.. Hammond concluded the
loyal sons of the North Star State re-
sponded with q cheer, and a number
of delegates in Massachusetts and Ok
lahoma seats joined. Considerable ap-
plause came from the galleries but the
noise was but a whisper compared
with the terrific roar of the Bryan
demonstration. Some of the delegates
mounted their chairs after a few min
utes and added their voices to those of
the Minnesota men.
Chairman Clayton was somewhat
less tolerant in dealing with the john
son shouters than he was with the
Bryan followers and the band failed
to respond to Johnson'S name The
demonstration had largely subsidized
within 25 minutes after it began
The heat In the hall and the dust
stirred up during the Bryan demon-
stration and the dense clouds of now
der from the flashlights caused intense
thirst and water was in great demand
AT IL o'clock water was selling two
small glasses for rs cents.
BY the time that Governor Johnson
had been placed in nomination the
gallery crowds had materially
dwindled.
