NEWCOMB TAKES NO ACTION.
Will Not Press Resolution Until Aids
Case Is Settled

Albany March l4-Little evidence of the
storm through which the Republican party
has just passed appeared on the surface
when the Legislature began another weeks
work tonight. Senator Cobb, the newly
elected temporary president, spent some
time after the brief Senate session con-
ferring with Lieutenant Governor White re-
gardng the committee changes made
necessary by his election as majority leader
and his consequent abandonment of the
craftsmanship of the Committee on. Rail-
roads. There was q report that Cobb as a
peace offering, might ASK to have the va
cant Craftsmanship given to Senator Agnew,
one of the most prominent Of the Root
Hughes Senators and one of the seven orig
inal insurgents" 1t is understood that
these vacancies will be held Open however.
until the end of the Aids trial, so that II
Aids is acquitted he may get his just
share of committee appointments.
Senator Newcomb made no effort to dis
charge the Finance Committee from fur
Their consideration of his resolution provid-
ing for a general investigation of legls-
lative corruption, thereby putting the prop
osition before the Senate. He said that he
had no intention of pushing this proposition
until after the Aids case was decided, for
fear it might prejudice the judgment OF
the Senate on the ConGer bribery charges.
The Assembly passed the Toombs bill
authorizing the New York Interstate Bridge
Commission 10 make borings and obtain
general engineering data relative to brdg-
ing the Hudson River between New York
City and the New Jersey shore. The COM
mission is directed to ascertain to what
extent the State OF New Jersey will CO.

Manila, March 1.-THE circumstances
regarding the death of Second Lieuten-
ant Clarence NJ. Janney, of the I2th
Infantry, which occurred on Saturday
at Fort William Mckinley. have not
vet been cleared up 1t is generally
believed that Janney killed himself, but
it is uncertain. whether this was by
accident or design.
Janney. accompanied by his wife, at
tended a dinner party at the house OF
Lieutenant Colonel Robert f. Ames.
Suddenly Janney left the house, and
some time afterward returned with
revolver in his hand. He entered the
house. and in a moment there was d
report and Janney fell with a bullet in
his head, dying instantly.
There is no doubt regarding Janneys
purpose in arming and returning to
Lieutenant Colonel Ames's house. Cap
tain William H. Jordan. jr, of the 18th
Infantry, who was the fourth member Of
the party. says that an argument oc-

Janney entered the house by the rear.
Lieutenant Colonel Ames and Mrs.
Janney were the only witnesses of the

Woodruff Defiant, II Is Said

After Mr.. Woodruff had told the Senator
in many words that it was up 10 him
to attempt TO reOrganiZe the state com
mittee, the Senator began to denur He
said that he had no desire 10 dictate nor
be the state boss. Mr.. Woodruff it was
said by his friends to-day, went right back
by what he WAS reported TO have said in
Washington last week.
He told the Senator that ne thought 1t
was the most outrageous treatment that
had ever been handed out to a state leader.
and that it was time for Root either 10
confirm or deny the stories. The Senator
then assured MIR Woodruff that he would
take no steps TO upset the state committee,
that his friends in Washington had gone
too far in telling what he was going to do,
and that he would not attempt TO force
anything on Mr.. Woodruff.

opinion that the so-called demand for
the removal of the state chairman had
no basis in fact. and that it was all due
to misinformation that was sent to
Washington.
Il felt equally confident that Senator
Root would be Informed of the true sit
uation and that there would be no nc
cessity for a feeling of resentment over
the situation. The talk of federal in
reference causing the removal of Office
holders always seems to me TO lie alb
surd. Such a policy has not been pur
sued for years. and certainly is not be-
ing followed to-day by men of the type
of President Taft or Senator Root. 1

he had to do was to tell the state chair
man what was what.
Instead. at the Interview in Roots own
home last night. Mr.. Woodruff forced the
fighting. He told the Senator, so TAR as
can be learned, that he could go ahead IT
he wanted 10. and bust the party wide
open" Mr. Woodruff told the Senator to
put the screws on the federal officeholders
and issue call for a meeting of the state
committee. Then. Mr.. Woodruff said. IL Is
reported, the Senator could issue his orders
20 have new state chairman elected
This. he said. would show how much the
people OF the State of New York had to
say about their own affairs, and it would
effectuaily destroy the Republican organi-
cation
Then Mr.. Woodruff went on, so far as
could be learned to-day from those who
heard the Senator's account of the inter
view TO point out that the state would be
lost to the Republican party in the cleo
ton of 1872 He showed the Senator that
ii had taken years to build up the or
ganization. but that the forcibe removal
of the state chairman by Washington
would be resented by every other organiza-
ton leader.

BELT
ROAD FOR HAWAII

Mr. L. A. Thurston, who has spent
some time recently travelling on Ha-
wall, has this to say about belt
road around the island:
81 don't believe that the Board
of Supervisors, or the people of this
island appreciate what it would mean
to have a good automobile belt road
around the island. The country is
ideal for tourist traffic and if such
road should be built you would have
so many people coming here with
their machines that the steamers
would be forced to arrange larger ac-
commodations to handle automobiles.
Every dollar available for the purpose
should, in my opinion, be devoted to
matchmaking a road around the
island. Before the road between Ho-
nokoo and Waimea is macadamized,
however, It should be graded, as in
some places at least there is a
grade of fifteen per cent or over,
which would make it easy for the
rain to wash out a road, and it is too
steep for. economy"
Denouncing the present faulty road
system, by which the supervisors, in
stead of supervising the roads as a
body, parcel out certain districts to
certain supervisors, he says:
"The supervisors are simply shirk-
| ing responsibility by the system that
they have adopted.
can example of how this system
works is that every supervisor is
compelled to perform the duties of a
road engineer and a road constructor
1t is ridiculous that lawyer, a
clergyman or a business man, all Of
whom may properly be supervisors
should each be a road engineer; vel
that is what is practically required
under the present system.
what is needed on Hawaii, to {
greater extent than is needed on Ka.
uai, Oahu and Maui, is a thoroughly
trained road engineer. Each of those
, islands has such an officer who hal
; charge of the road construction. Ha
wall has a much more difficult roat
problem to solve than those island
t have, and yet it is attempting to ge

leases go into the Hawaiian treasury.
In other words, all such property now
be c"Vs practically or equitably to
the Territory, except that the tech
nical or legal title is in the United
States and needed portions may be
set aside by the President or the
governor for the use of the United
States. This section is amended
principally in three respects.
(D In some cases property has
been set aside by the President as a
matter of precaution, on the chance
that it might afterwards be found not
to be needed by the Federal Govern
ment, but has since been found not
to be needed; or property that has
been so set aside has been found to
be needed only temporarily. The
proposed amendment permits such
property to be restored to it's pre-
vious status, but only by the Presi-

States; it is constantly expanding
money on these in repairs, additions,
and new buildings and works. 1t is
also constantly constructing new
buildings and works on lands hitherto
unused. It seems only right that the
Territory should have the title 20
the lands upon which it expends its
money for public improvements. The
proposed amendment permits the
President to transfer to the Territory
such public property as is now used
or may hereafter be required by
it for public purposes.

| tabllShed and developed such pubic
property as may be needed for the ex-
ercise of their functions should be
turned over to them. The amend
ment permits this to be done by the
governor when authorized by the le-
gislature.
At present there is more or less
confusion. In many cases, for in
stance, the title is in the United
States, the responsibility of the car,
and management is in the Territory
and the actual possession and use :

The amendment will make it posi-

give a right of appeal from the terri
torial supreme court to the Supreme
Court of the United States in all cases
involving a money value of more than
$4,000, and it was so understood both
by bench and bar in Hawaii; but that
construction and the practical value
of the amendment have been largely
destroyed by the recent decision OF
the United States Supreme Court.
This case is reported in Oil Unit
ed States Reports, 1862, and the point
of the decision is one of practice
merely, holding that decision Of our
territorial supreme court, rendered
upon exceptions to the rulings or
judgments of a circuit court, does not
constitute such a FINAL judgment" as
is contemplated by the act, which
confers jurisdiction upon the Federal
Supreme Court to review the final
judgments" of the territorial supreme
court.
The result of this decision is that
territorial practitioners, in order to
avail themselves of the privilege of
taking their cases to the Federal SUI
preme Court for final review, must
abandon the time honored procedure
of bill of exceptions as a means Of
securing a review by the territorial
supreme court of the rulings and
judgments of the inferior courts OF
Hawaii and must take their cases to
the territorial supreme court through
the medium of a writ of error in
stead of by means of a bill of excep-
lions.
An important objection to substitut-
ing writs of error for bills of excep-
lions in the territorial practice is that
it is much more expensive. Another
and very forceful,, objection, especial
ly in the case of comparatively poor
litigants, is that no writ of error car
be obtained by a defendant agains
whom the inferior court has rendered
judgment until the applicant shall
procure and file bond, with sufficien
sureties, to the effect that he will pa!
the judgment against which he seek
relief in the event that he shall b.
defeated in the supreme court. Now
while it may often happen that judg
ment will be rendered against a de
PENDANT through some error of Law
which his counsel may advise him il
we'll worthy of having reviewed in tn
upper court, and of which he can Sc
cure a prompt and inexpensive re
view through the medium of a bill

upon his bond to actually pay tn
judgment in the event of his defea
in the supreme court. And when it
