FuIIington Would Head OF Bills.

There will be no more liability bills
to be passed by the general assembly;
the state will be saved many thousand
dollars annually; heads Of state de-
partments and institutions will have a
definite limit placed on their annual
expenses, and the administration will
be conducted more economically, If
suggestions made in letters which
State Auditor Fullington mailed to
state officials are followed. Until two
years ago, when Auditor Fullington
sent out letters advising heads of state
departments and institutions not to
contract bills for which money had
not been appropriated, it had been
the custom to make expenditures near
the close Of the year, although avail
able funds for the year were eX-
hausted. Later when the general as
sembly met these claims were pre-
sented in the form of liability bill
and were always paid. AS a result
there was no definite limit on the ex-
penditures.

Many Pensions Claimed.

There were 1878 pension claims,
846 for soldiers, 213 for widows and
219 for back pay and bounty, filed by
the department of soldiers claims of
Ohio last year, according to the
annual report of Commissioner w. A.
Taylor, filed with Governor Harmon.
The claims granted numbered 951 and
Their aggregate amount was $780,
235.16. By filing their claims through
the state department, which makes no
charge, the applicants saved $4,000.

ATTORNEYS SEE NEED
OF EXTRA ASSEMBLY
COLUMBUS LAWYERS SAY NEXT
LEGISLATURE CANNOT LE-
GALLY ELECT UNITED
STATES SENATOR.

Columbus.-If members of the gen.
eral assembly proceed on the theory
that the session to be held this win
ter is a regular one, their election OF
a United States senator and all laws
enacted by them will be invalid ac-
coTding to Attorney Allen w. Thur
man, who asserts that it will be nee
essary for Governor Harmon to call
an extraordinary session of the gen.
eral assembly to cure this defect
Judge George B. Okey, constitutional
lawyer, is of the same opinion, and he
has written to Governor Harmon sug-
gesting that he call the general as
sembly in extraordinary session. If
Messrs. Thurman and Okey are right
in their contention, there must be an
nual sessions of legislatures until the
constitution is amended, so as to per-
NIT biennial ones, as was intended.
Okey and Thurman both hold that the
attempt of the general assembly last
winter to change regular sessions
from even to odd numbered years was
invalid.
can amendment to the constitution
to cure this defect by permitting regu-
lar sessions in odd numbered years,
was voted down at the 1906 election,
however. AS result, the time for
holding regular sessions was left un-
der the limitation of the constitution
Of 1851. Last winter an act was
passed by the general assembly to
permit regular sessions to begin in
January following the election of
state officers. That act attempted to
bring regular sessions in odd num-
bered years to meet the situation, but
the statute is invalid, because it tried
to amend the constitution. The peo,
pie only have this power"
There are but four ways in which
can convene" said Thurman. First
by regular session; second, by ad'
journment from day to day or by re-
cess to fixed day; third, when the
two houses disagree as to the time Of
adjournment, then the governor may
adjourn and call the members to-
gether at some stated date, and fourth,
under call for an extraordinary ses-
sion. The constitution of 1851 pro
vided that the regular sessions should
be held biennially and that the first
regular one should convene the first
Monday in January, 1852. AS a result
of this clause, regular sessions can
only be held in even numbered years.
In 1905, an amendment to the con.
stitution was adopted and by it the
times for holding elections were al
tered so that state officers are to be
elected in even numbered years, and
municipal tickets in odd numbered
years. The legislature is required, by
the constitution, to meet in Janu.
ary following the election of it's mem.
bers, who are chosen in even num-
bered years, then the general assem-
bly, would have to convene in odd
numbered years.

insurance Companies Enrich State.

Insurance Companies Enrich State.
Three insurance companies paid
into the state insurance department
recently more than $238,OOO under the
November tax collection. They were
the Metropolitan Life, $109,SO0; the
Prudential Life, $4,000, and the New
York Life, $4,000. AS part of these
payments came in the afternoon, only
a portion figured in the weekly set
tlement made with the state treasury
in the morning, when Judge Lemert
turned over 348,131.07, of which $S,-
1868 was represented by fire mar
shaps tax. Total payments to the
treasury, by the insurance superin-
tendent, have been 1896, ,54317, of
which $63,246.7S was fire marshal's
tax. Total tax payments for the year
will aggregate slightly more than ST.
128,000, of which more than $4,000
is for the fire marshal. Largest pay
ments by fire companies were $21,-
6O2.71, by the Hartford; $16,595.63 by
the Home of New York, and $14,-
044.53 by the Insurance Company of

meat present individuals OF a gigantic
stature.
Under the ancient regime the eating
Of flesh was regarded with great hor-
ror by the whole population. The
mobiles alone tasted at times the flesh
Of the wild boar, as fitting end to
an exciting hunt. But within the last
twenty-five years the consumption Of
meat has spread among the people, un-
til now in the streets Of the cities
booths are to be found in plain view,
where for a small sum generous por-
tions Of boiling beef or of horsehesh
can be bought. The Europeans and
the Americans who have lived in Ja-
pan for thirty years or SO, or those
who revisit that land after long alb
sence, testify that even now this par
tial introduction of a meat diet has
modified the physical appearance OF
the laboring classes. The men are less
pale and more muscular. 1t appears
also that their stature has been consid-
erably increased, at least among the
coolies and military. On the contrary,
among the artisans and other workers
Of sedentary habits, who continue tQ
live on rice and vegetables, we find, as
heretofore, many individuals Of exceed.
ing small stature.

SENATOR ALLDS is
FORCED FROM OFFICE.

Albany, N. ", March 3O.-Jonathar
P. Aids went to his home in Norwich
tonight, private citizen, branded as q
bribe-taker by his former colleagues in
the senate, and by his own act no long
er a member of that body. Senator
Conger, who filed the charges against
Aids, stayed here to fight.
The senate vindicated Conger today
when it voted, 40 to 9, that the charges
had been sustained by the evidence
brought before it.
Conger's enemies admit he is a fight
er, and the belief is expressed that he
will oppose any attempt to drive him
out OF Office as vigorously and with as
free an expenditure of money as he at
tackled Aids.
Before the vote was taken in the
senate this morning, Aids resigned his
position in that body, thereby releas-
ing himself from the jurisdiction of
that body.
The question of what shall be done
with Senator Conger, Aids accuser,
still remains to be settled.
The resignation of Senator Aids is
taken to amount to a tacit acknowl-
edgment of guilt, since it was an
nounced recently that if he resigned as
a member of the state senate, it could
be in Effects plea of participation in
the bribe-taking of which he was ac-
cused by Senator Ben Conger, who
himself stated that he had paid bribe
money to Aids.

Only One Survivor in n Russian VIII
lage of 1,IOO Inhabitants.
Details of the wiping out of an en-
tire Russian village by smallpox have
just reached st. Petersburg, says 6
New York Press correspondent. The
village is named Volskaya, and is sit
uated in the island of Sachalin.
Until few weeks ago its population
was 1,100. Sanitation, as in mos
Russian villages, was conspicuously
absent, and when the disease first ap
peared a few months ago no one was
troubled about it. Smallpox in Rus
sia is frequently called the holy
Sickness" and no attempt was made al
vaccination.
Sick and healthy children were
habitually bathed together, that being
believed an efficacious treatment. and
after the local priest died the bodies
remained unburied. Thus the epidemic
ragged unchecked and entire families
from grandfather to grandchild, were
stricken.
Finally a sanitary commission was
sent from the mainland. but could ae-
complish nothing. 1t has been decided
to burn to the ground this village Of
DEATH" as it is popularity called. Of
the LOO inhabitants only one remains
a man of 72, named Vassilieff. The
disease spared him, but he has be
come a maniac.

MAYBRAY swlNDLE FUNNY,

Seattle, Wash, March 31.-"That
Barnum spoke the truth when he de-
clared that the American people love
to be humbugged was never demonstra-
ted with greater force than at the
Maybray trial." said Sheriff Hodge,
who returned this morning from Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa. Sheriff Hodge had
been subpenaed as a witness against
Joe Carroll, Bert Warner and others of
the gang of "fake" wrestlers, who,
after perpetrating swindles to the ex-
tent of more than $1,000. 900, were
finally landed in the penitentiary.
cit was amusing to listen to the evil
dence," said the sheriff. "Some of
the witnesses related that they enjoyed
being buncoed so much that they came
back for a second experience.
"The testimony thoroughly satisfied
me that only small percentage of the
wrestling matches in the United States
are conducted on the square. Maybray
played no favorites in his colossal steal
and his victims were recruited from all
walks of life."

AFTER SHIP COMBINE.
Suit 10 Be Instituted by Govern
menl Against Alleged Pool.
immigrant Traffic and Freight Affect
ed-All Foreign Concerns
American Ships Underbid.

Washington, March 31.-Suit in
equity under the Sherman antitrust
law is to be instituted by the depart
ment of justice against what is known
as the European steamship pool on the
contention that it is an arrangement in
restraint of trade.
The fact that the vessels owned by
the steamship companies forming the
pool, or several of them, touch at Amer
ican ports is the basis for proceed
ings under the Sherman law.
All the steamship companies invol-
we'd in the proposed proceedings are
foreign concerns.
A Federal grand jury investigation
at New York, it is said, developed that
the pooling arrangement embraced the
transportation of both freight and pas
sengers. On the American side of the
Atlantic it was charged that the agree
ment had its ramifcations in rebating
by railroads.
The investigation is said to have de-
veloped a case embracing the whole
service of the immigration traffic from
every country in Europe. The opera
tions of the pool also, it was charged,
seriously interfered with the work of
American steamers lying at American
ports awaiting cargoes, the foreigners
underbidding them and getting the
traffic.
While the government cannot bring
suit to dissolve foreign corporation,
it may institute proceedings affecting
its operations as practiced on Ameri-
can territory and can secure an injunc-
tion to stop illegal acts.
When the government first started
an inquiry last autumn into charges Of
violations of the Sherman law by the
pool, the case involved few steamship
lines and railroad companies in the
United States having their Eastern
terminals in New York City.
AS the investigation progressed its
scope broadened considerably, with
the result that the operations of three
great steamship pools are being looked
into. Five indictments were found,
according to report, including the resi-
dent officers of one of the lines under
investigation.
The government first heard of an al
legged agreement with the railroads in
this country to the West; the trade
was supposed to be confined to salt fish
from the northern ports of Europe.
ater it was ascertained that imn1i-
grants, as well as merchandise of near
ly all kinds, were handled the same
way.

WHITE IMMIGRANTS FOR HAWAII

Russians and Portuguese beginning
to Replace the OrientaIS.
Honolulu is encouraging to the ut
most immigration of whites to the Is.
lands" said Antonio Perry, associate
justice of the supreme court Of Hawaii
and former member of the board OF
education Of the islands. according to
the Los Angeles Herald.
"The country Is succeeding to de-
gree that is most satisfactory to the
planters, for we find the white laborer
is far superior to the Chinese and Ja-
panese. The Russians have proved
themselves especially adaptable to
work on the plantations Five hun
dred Russians arrived from Siberia
four months ago and more than 800
Portuguese we're brought from the
Azores islands at about that time. In
fact, we have an agent, G. L. Atkinson,
recently secretary of the territory,
who makes his headquarters in Siberia
and before many years there will be
great numbers of Russians settle per-
manently in the islands. We are no
longer threatened with the yellow
peril.
THE educational system of the Is
lands is second to none in the United
States. Considerable attention Is paid

Judge Perry, but perhaps 1t would
not be out of the way to say that Hon
olulu is flooded with visitors and as
consequence is building up a great
tourist trade that in point OF annual
revenue is becoming an important fig
ure with her. This trade, however, is
greatly impaired because of lack OF
steamer accommodations, and the
coastwise law passed by Congress,
which prohibits carrying a passenger
from one city to another. The Philip
pines have had this law suspended. We
are asking Congress to suspend the
operation of this act for limited time
until ships can be built to carry the

JAPAN TURNS TO BEEF.
New Policy Adopted I'm order to In
crease Stature of It's People.

New Policy Adopted I'm order to In
crease Stature of Its People.
It is rather startling after all that
has been said and written regarding
the rice and fish diet of the japanese
to learn that their government has es-
tablished large farms with a view to
obtaining sufficient cattle for slaughter,
so that each day some flesh food may
be distributed to their soldiers, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. 1t has been
heralded far and wide that the many
reasons for the wonderful victories of
the Japanese armies during the late
war with Russia lay in the great STAN
ina and endurance Of the little vel
low warriors, who heretofore had lived
exclusively on fish and rice. So this
new policy of the mikado's advisors
will cause much surprise and also con-
siderable regret among the advocates
of vegetarianism.
This new measure is part OF a
plan which, so it is hoped by the au-
tborities, will result in increasing the
height of the race. The superior stat
ure of the white races has been the
envy Of the natives ever since the in
vasion of the former into the islands,
and much consideration has been given
to means to lengthening their own
bodies. So now a flesh diet is to be
tried. A number Of observations give
color to the hope that it may prove
effective. Thus the tribe or clan Of
wrestlers. who are Of considerable i'm
portance in Japan and who there live
almost apart from the rest Of the peo-
pIs and whose diet consists largely Of
