Olympia Highway Commission Middle

B. w. Huntoon has refused appoint
ment as highway commissioner and
Governor Hay ordered the office turned
over to C. II. Sweetser. On advice of
the attorney general Commissioner
Bowlby refused to vacate. Governor
Hay then appointed Sweetser commits
sioner, but he has not qualified and
may not do so.
The contention is made that under
the constitution new commissioner
can draw but half of the $4,000 salary
provided by the last legislature, and it
is further asserted that owing to an
other legislative blunder not a cent has
been appropriated for salary or ex-
penses of the office for the term be-
tween April 1, when current appropria-
lions lapse, and June 9, when the new
law takes effect.

Is coal Bin to lie Banished7

At recent electrical dinner at
Brooklyn, Charles w. Price, editor of
the Electrical Review, one of the
speakers, said: 81 make the predic-
tion, based on knowledge of important
experiments, that the day is not far
distant when the coal pile in the cellar
will be replaced by the electrical reser-
voir of boxlike shape and moderate
size, to furnish heat throughout the en-
tire building and also to the kitchen
and residences, for cooking. And this
will be done economically compared
with coal, as this accumulated electric
ity will be stored at low cost and be
on tap when needed

MUST HAVE MORE ROOM.

House of Representatives to Undergo
Transformation.
The house has appropriated $35O,OOO
for the reconstruction of the hall of
the house, so as to reduce its size prac-
tically to that of the senate chamber.
The problem of reducing the size and
at the same time providing for the in
creased membership from 391 to 433
has been met by doing away with the
bulky desks and chairs. In the new
house each member will have an indi-
vidual chair, but there will be no
desks. A small shelf will be provided
on the backs of the chairs for use of
members sitting behind them.
Two speaking places, with large
tables for the accommodation of books
and papers, will be provided

Theodore Roosevelt was the guest Of
New Orleans Saturday night, and the
city outdone itself to make him wei

New Orleans since October 16, 1905.
He came then as president of the
United States, defying the protests of
the rest of the country, for New Or

Of yellow fever He spent but five
hours in the city, leaving at midnight
for Houston, Texas.
He went at once to his hotel on ar

French opera house, where his address
was delivered. Immediately after the
meeting he attended a banquet given
in his honor, and then rushed to the
train.
On the trip from jackson, Miss, to
New Orleans Colonel Roosevelt was
forced TO make talks from the rear
platform of his car.
His Address
In his address Mr.. Roosevelt spoke
simply and clearly on the mooted ques-
ton Of Panama canal fertilization,
without bantering words of pity for
those who could not see the necessity
for such a safeguard. lie pointed out
that there were only two nations in
the world that are bound by treaty to
respect the neutrality of the canal
Great Britain and Panama No other
nation is in the least bound to recog-
nize the neutrality of the canal In
deed, failure to fortify would bring
upon this country the derision of the
world. In time of war any nation
would have the right to seize the water.

Mr.. Roosevelt even went so far as
60 declare that, Notifications lacking,
the canal in time of war could be very
easily turned into an instrument for
the ruin of the United States.

The ex-president spoke for nearly an
hour.
Facetious references to the criticisms
put upon him while president for UNI

audience.
Mr.. Roosevelt touched also upon pri

He concluded with a stirring appeal to

the losses to the rebels unknown, is
the result Of a battle just east of Aqua

border across from Douglas, Ariz
The opposing forces were 500 insur-

rected by Colonel Mora.
The battle was spectacular and wit
messed by several thousand Americans
many of whom rushed close to the bat

height. After the smoke had cleared
away it was Americans in automobiles
who gave the first aid to the wounded
hurrying them to Aqua Prieta, where
two American physicians were in readi

If there were any rebels killed OF
wounded they were taken back to the
mountains by their comrades.
After mystifying both the Mexican
officials and the Americans on the
border for a week, Blanco surprised
all by suddenly breaking out of the
canyon leading from Genizes Springs
and attacking the federal force of 800
that had been rushed into Aqua Prieta
last night on a special train under com
mand of Colonel Mora. Except a few
prisoners taken by the federals, the
rebels retreated in good order.
1t is understood that Blanco's entir,

URGE WAR wAeED ON oP1ATEs
U. S. Gives Delegates to Opium Con
ference at Hague Broad Instructions
- Their Guidance

The state department has instructed
the American delegates to the interna-
tional opium conference, which is to
meet at The Hague in May, to urge a
worldwide fight against not only opium,
but morphine, cocaine, and all other
habit forming drugs.
The state department, it is stated,
commissioned delegates to the confer
ence, and will promulgate an institu-
ton covering the entire field of habit
forming drugs, so that the commits
siOners from America will not only
have full signatory powers as regards
traffic in the main drugs which are
threatening the manhood of the world,
but will have liberty to go as far as
any nation wishes in opposing restric-
tive measures of any other drug.
U. S. Sends Bishop.
Two Of the American delegates to
The Hague will be the Rt. Rev. Charles
Rent, protestant episcopal bishop Of
the Philippines, and DR.. Milton F..
Wright, of the state department, both
of whom served on the opium board
which met at Shanghai two years ago.
Charles d. Tenney, Chinese secre-
tary of the American legation at
Picking, who served on the commission,
viii be replaced by another delegate
whom rumor has to be a person prom
inent in American college circles.
Nations which will participate in
the coming conference are, besides the
United States, China, France, Ger
many, Great Britain, The Netherlands
ortugal, Russia, Austria Hungary, Italy
Siam and Persia.
China, the nation which has suf-
fered the most from the ravage Of the
opium evil, and which has hailed with
satisfaction the good Offices of the
United States in bringing about aid
for its campaign of suppression, natur-
ally is in the forefront Of The Hague
negotiations.

Mexico City, March Thoroughly
aroused by the spread of Drigandage
and vandalism incident to the resolu-
ton led by Francisco Madero, and de-
termined to protect property, the Diaz
government this week will begin to
wage against the lawless element
pitiless war of determination.
Resurrecting a provision of the Mex
lean constitution not used in 10 years,
the government will set aside for six
months certain personal guarantees.
Those detected in the act of highway
robbery or raiding a village or farm,
train wrecking, cutting telegraph wires,
or even removing a spike from a rail
road track or throwing a stone at a
train, will be summarily shot by those
making the arrest.
The decision to ask for the suspen-
sion of personal guarantees " provid-
ed for by the constitution was reached
by the president in conference with
members of his cabinet. This provision
is one calculated to permit the federal
government to put into effect at times
of extraordinary conditions a form of
government approaching that of mar
tial law.
Denies Civil Trial.
Under the constitution the govern
ment may declare martial law also, but
the provision invoked does not abro-
gate the power of the civil authorities,
but does nedy, in cases of certain
crimes, right of trial.
Possibly the nearest approach found
in the United States is that which per-
mits under certain conditions the with
drawal of the habeas corpus.
No More Troops Now.
Washington, March 12.-No addi-
tional troops have been ordered to
Texas or California nor are such or
ders in contemplation at the present
time, according to General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff.
The war department, however, is re-
cruiting the infantry regulars of Major
General Carter S division at San An
tonic to their full strength. The di-
vision now numbers about 10000 en-
listed men. 1t is expected this total
will be increased to 10000 men by the
addition of recruits in the ordinary
way.
Warships Visit Mexican Ports.
The gunboat Princeton, now at Pan
ANA, will be ordered northward, touch
ing at Acapulco, Mexico, and probably
at other Mexican points, while the gun
boat Yorktown will sail southwark
shortly from San Diego, Cal, also with
orders to stop at several Mexican ports.
These orders, in conjunction with
those issued a few days ago to the gun
boat Tacoma and the scout cruiser Ches-
ter, will establish a patrol of United
States war vessels along both coasts of
Mexico.
