encies if they did not proceed in ac-
cord with him. They knew that re-
sistance to his policies would probably
result in Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives
Now they think they see signs of
the Presidents receding popularity.
For long while the reports that came
to Washington were that the people
did not blame the President, but Wall
Street, for the panic, following the
ideas expressed by the President sew
eral times on that subject. But the
industrial depression spreads, political
troubles have been multiplying, and
the latest reports are that the great
number of dissatisfied people, who have
suffered from the depression, are be-
ginning to blame the President. The
white-haired mandarins will not want
20 divide the party on the eve of a
presidential election, but they would
be ready to go quite a long way in
evening" up the score with the Presi-
dent, if only they could be certain
that a good proportion of their coun-
trymen would approve.
Therefore they are feeling their
course. They are very certain the
country will stand by them for not
enacting a lot of reform legislation,
and that is why they have not taken
up the Presidents recommendations
for reform legislation with any alac-
rity.
There certainly are signs that
merry quarrel will be in progress be-
fore Congress adjourns. Those who
know from long observation how well
disciplined the Republicans are, hesi-
tate to predict as much. But it has
already gone beyond the stage Of
cloakroom denunciation, and there has
been some formal action. A feeling
has been growing that Senate and
House are composed Of men who, in
the main want to do the right thing.
and that they have right to become
impatient at being exploited unfavor-
ably for tbs Presidents advantage.
Senators and Representatives are
heartily weary of the Presidents DOM
ination, whether or not he has been
right in his demands.

THE PRESIDENT
AND CONGRESS
War on Between the Two and
Joe Cannon Taking a
Big Part.
(Maf Special to the Advertiser.

| WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
There has been big sound again from
the White House, of which Congress
| has to take notice. 1t has the indjca-
tions, in embryo. of a nice little war
/ between the President and Congress.
But while it is all very entertaining
! for the moment, the oldsters are scep-
| teal as to whether the President will
carry the quarrel to the firing line.
| He puts his seal of disapproval upon
| the do-nothing Congress. He has been
chatting under it, at least for polit-cal
purposes. The popular effect of his
special message on the Employers
Liability bill and a great number of
other measures has died away. For
time it stirred up people .tremen-
dously. The Western congressman
heard from it in numerous ways. It
reused many Of the voters, who were
disposed to rally anew to the Pres
ident and, in that particular, helped
the campaign for the nomination OF
Secretary Taft for the presidency.
"Since that special message" said
one congressman from Washington
state, .'our people have been unwilling
to consider, anybody for the nomina-
ton but the Presidents favorite."
AS the country has been assured
again and again, Congress intends to
r
take the place of the measure which
WAS declared by the Supreme Court
to be unconstitutional. But the Pres
ident has now begun to Teiterate his
demand for that legislation and
couples with it demand for the en-
actment of a law to prevent the water
ing of stock of interstate corporations
and likewise a law TO amend the Sher-
man antitrust law along the lines
indicated in his special message. He
is now telling his congressional callers
that those three measures must be en-
acted at this session or there viii be
trouble a plenty.
Congress is almost laughing in the
Presidents face. It does not intend
to enact the two last named measures
at this session of Congress, break or
no break with the President. The ses-
sion is too far advanced they say, to
enter upon such important work as
that. Even the bills have not been
drawn yet. To be sure Senator Dolli
yer, of Iowa, and Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith are
toiling away on a draft of each of
those measures, but unfortunately the
lawyers of the Senate and the House
have none too high an opinion of the
legal ability of either of those gentle
men. Then the reports from every
quarter of the industrial depression
are discouraging. Congress does not
want to do anything to further dis
courage industry. The corporations
are having some troubles themselves,
trying to get back to normal condi-
tons. ~ h 49,
The new move is believed to be
political. About the only matters the
President is having any success with
this winter, pertain to the campaign
for Secretary Taft. 1t is not sure yet
by any means that he will succeed
with that. The new demand for legis-
lation, however, is calculated to bring
many people throughout the country
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-03-18

more to serve. At the peak end of
any administration Congress is in the
habit of becoming less and less at
tentive to the White House. That has
something to do with the present
strained situation. On the other hand,
the President, after having been &C.
customed for almost seven years to
dominate affairs, is restless at the APP
parent sights. He feels like trying it
on occasionally to ascertain whether
he can make recalcitrant congressman
come to terms. He made the unusual
statement for him recently that he
did not want to send in a certain spe-
ciaI message because he was aware
Congress would probably pay little or
no attention to it.
Meanwhile, Congress it doing lot
Of hard work, although it is not con-
fined to the Presidents pet projects.
The enormous proportions to which
the appropriation bills have grown en-
tail a great amount of work in prep
aration and in consideration. Both
legislative bodies are applying them
selves to that task to the best of their
powers. ERNEST G.. WALKER.

THE WORRIED WOMEN

SThey say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. II some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovarladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

district court today handed down
decision declining to interfere with the
county officials of this county in the
enforcement of the Missouri statute

The decision was rendered in a case

hundreds of storekeepers for alleged

LISBON, Jan. 30-For the purpose
of escaping the censorship the follow
ing dispatch is sent to the frontier for
transmis sion:
Lisbon is outwardly calm, but there
is a steady increase of nervousness
and excitement among all classes Of the
population, owing to the constant ru-
mors Of plot and counterplot, and the
persistent activity of the police, who
daily and nightly examine the houses
of suspects and make arrests.
"On the night of Jan. 20 there was a
bloody fight in small restaurant on
the outskirts of Lisbon. Suspecting
the presence of a crowd of conspira-
tors, the police surrounded and rdided
the restaurant.
1.-THE authorities were right in their
surmise, and they found the plotters
armed with revolvers. The policemen
were met by a volley of bullets, and
one of them was killed and four
wounded.
The conspirators managed to keep
the guardians of law and order at bay
until they made their escape. Later
the same night score of suspected
agitators were arrested and imprisoned
in one of the fortresses.
"There is almost a reign of terror
among the Republicans and Progress
lists and several of the leaders of these
parties, including Deputy Almeida,
Deputy Costa and Viscount Rebeira,
have been thrown into prison. The
house of Senior Alpion, another of the
dissident leaders, is under constant
police surveillance"

SUES THREE
LINES FOR
RECEIVER
CONSOLIDATED STEAMSHIP
COMPANY INVOLVED
Floating indebtedness of Over Three
Million Dollars AlIeged-InsoIv-
ency Believed to Be Sought
by Defendants

By Associated Press.
BOSTON, Jan. 30.-Proceedings in
this city for a receivership for the Con-
solidated Steamship company were in
stttuted simultaneously with those in
the courts at Portland, Me-, and New
York today.
The action was brought by William
A. Muller of Arlington, Mass, whose
counsel filed three bills of complaint
against the Consolidated and also
against two subsidiary companies, the
Eastern and Metropolitan steamship
companies.
In his bill of complaint Mr.. Muller
declares that the Eastern Steamship
company has a total floating Indebted
ness of $1,S50.000 and that the Metro
poitan company has floating indebt-
edness of $1,S60,000 with unpaid bills of
$250,O00 and interest on outstanding
bonds of $1,000 900.
The immediate cause of the petition
was the failure of the Eastern Steam
ship company to meet a demand note
to Mr.. Muller of $4,000
The difficulties of the Consolidated
Steamship company are regarded by
bankers of this city as the result of
excessive shipbuilding and failure on
the part of the company to provide a
sinking fund for the underlying bonds
dated by Charles Morse
1t was Mr.. Morse's ambition to con-
troll large steamship company en-
gagged in the coastwise trade.
Two years ago he consolidated all the
steamship lines running between Bos-
ton and Maine ports under the head
of the Eastern Steamship company.
Controls Metropolitan
He then went further and obtained
control of the Metropolitan Steamship
company, with a line of boats between
this city and New York, and later Sc
cured four lines running south from
New York, the New York and Cuba
mail route, known as the Ward line;
the Clyde Steamship company the
Mallory Steamship company and the
New York-Porto Rico Steamship COM
pany The Consolidated Steamship
company, a Maine corporation, was
then formed as holding company for
these six lines, with an authorized
bond issue OF $1,000. 900 at per cent

six companies was ss21, ,969,OOO at per

HARRISBURG CAPITOL GRAFT DE.
TENSE SHOWN
Interesting Measurements Made OF
Furniture to Prove Contentious
In case-Some Surprising
Figures Involved

BY Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa. Jan. So.-That
John H. Sanderson did not really
charge as much for furniture supplied
for the new capitol as he was entitled
to under his contract, will be the chief
defense in the conspiracy suit against
Sanderson, Snyder. Mathues and Schu-
maker, now on trial in the Dauphin
county court.
This was developed by the cross-ex-
animation today of Sanford 3. Lewis.
who was Architect j. M. Hueston's s
active assistant during the construc-
tion and equipment of the capitol.
Lewis was called by the state today
to identity Hueston's blue prints for
sofas, tables and clothes-trees, and for
which Sanderson was paid by the state
at the rate of $3.50 per foot" Lewis
was then compelled by the defense to
measure each of the articles exhibited.
A sofa six feet long was shown to
contain Sc of the kind of fleet" on
which Sanderson based his charges. A
table with a top 31sx21s feet contains
17% of the same units. One of the
clothes-trees, Is inches at the base with
a three-inch shaft, six feet high. has
seven feet.
When 1t was established that Sander
son had not charged all he claims he is
entitled to charge, the attorneys for
the state took up the line and drew
it out. They showed that a clothes
tree which Sanderson contracted to
furnish for $555 and for which he was
paid by the state $2740, could have
been billed at $147.50. according to the
theory of the defense.
Both Sides Pleased
They also showed that Sanderson
charged only 1919 feet for the 56-foot
sofa at the rate of $3.50 per foot,
or 1886. 40, instead of $1.030.40, to which
he was entitled, had he charged for it
at this rate.
Both sides professed to be pleased
with the result of the measurements.
George Keim, under the orders of
Superintendent Schumacher of the
grounds and buildings committee, tes-
titled Sanderson gave him twenty bills,
which he said had been approved by
SNYDER to enter into his journal.
Before he had time to enter the bills
Snyder took them away and Keim
never saw them until they were pro-
duced in court today.
The contention of the commonwealth
is that the withdrawal of these bills
is part of the chain of evidence i'm the
alleged conspiracy by which the state
was defrauded by the defendants.
Former Governor Pennypacker has
been subpoenaed for the defense, and
if he is called as a witness he will be
cross-examined closely by the COM
monwealth.
