A date has been set as the date for
the hearing on the Provosty public
utility bill, which provides for pub
lie utility commission, domiciled in
the city of New Orleans and to have
jurisdiction over all public utilities
not given specifically to the Louisiana
Railroad Commission. Another meas

powers of the railroad commission, as
advocated by Governor Hall in his

the administration favors a measure

The Bouanchaud bill appropriating

Would Refund States Debt.
Administration Floor Leader Robert
Roberts gave notice of bill for re-
funding the state debt. This meas
ure is in reality a re-enactment of the
Thomas bill of 1910, but is intended to
clear up any constitutional question.
Since the rendering of the Sutherlin
decision in the conservation act at
Shreveport; declaring it unconstitu-
tional, on the ground that the bill
was passed before the constitutional
enabling provision, some doubt has
arisen as to whether or not the same
attack might pot be made on the
Thomas debt-refunding act.

ASKED Constituents
TO WORK FOR BILL
Mr.. Adair's Friends Write to
Urge Senate Committee to
Favor Sherwood Measure.

In the mail of yesterday and today. re-
ceived by the Senate committee on PEN
sions, came a flood of letters urging the
committee to put it's 0. K on the Sher-
wood dollar-a day pension bill. which al
ready has passed the House. The letters
presented many arguments for such a
provision on the part of Uncle Sam for
the men who fought for the Stars and
Stripes.
There was much wonder, as one letter
after another from Indiana came in, as
to the sudden interest which the civil war
veterans and their friends in that par
ticular section of the country were dis
playing in the pension bill.
Mystery Is Solved.
But the speculation as to the cause
of the epidemic ceased, with the opening
of the two hundredth-or thereabouts-
letter, for inclosed In 1t was dup1i-
Gated letter, written on the stationery
of Representative j. "A. M. Adair of the
eighth district of Indiana, and signed
with his name. 1t has such an indefinite
beginning as my Dear Sir" and was
evidently one of many sent out from
Washington. 1t read. in part:
'"The Sherwood dollar-a-day pension
bill we passed in the House before the
holiday recess is in danger of defeat in
the Senate. 1t looks now like the Sen
ate would cut it in two and make the
rates very much lower. This l do not
want to see done, as l am sure you are
deserving of every cent allowed by this
bill. Please write the Senate pension
committee urging the passage Of the
Sherwood bill.
"A democratic House has done its duty,
now urge the republican Senate to do
as well by the old soldier. The repub-
licans have claimed to be your friends
for many years, now let them show it
by deeds. not by words. You need not
write me unless you want to, but do not
fail to write the Senate pension commit
tee at once, insisting on the passage of
the Sherwood bill, which is practically a
straight dollar-a-day bill, as under 1t at
least 90 per cent of all soldiers will get
this rate, and the few remaining ones
will receive almost as much.'

power to legislate on local questions"
The resolution caused prolonged discus
sion in the house, the speaker opposing
its adoption.
The Olmsted bill. granting citizenship
to Porto Ricans and providing for an new
form of government for Porto Rico has
been under consideration for a long time,
and the Porto Rican house of delegates
on several occasions has requested Con-
gress at Washington to postpone action
on the bill. Particular objection was
made to the amendments providing that
thirteen insular senators shall be APP
pointed by the President, and that judges,
court clerks and marshals shall be named
by the governor.

FOR CONSERVATION LAWS.

Plan of LEGISLATION.

Senator Newlands is seeking to have
the Senate committee on public lands
commit itself to a general plan or con-
servation legislation. He has asked the
committee TO adopt resolution deciar-
ing it to be the sense OF the committee
that legislation should be enacted provid-
Ing for the protection Of the natural re-
sources in phosphates. coal. iron and oil
against monopolistic control by system
of leasing under such conditions as would
promote their development at reasonable
prices to consumers.
To meet the objection as to the ma
tional revenue from this source ana the
necessary exemption OF UnIed STATES
property from local taxation the resoiu-
ton proposes that 75 ger cent OF the
gross revenue derived from the leases Is
to be maid to the state or territory In
which the leased resources are located.
The resolution Is the uniinisned o,, nusi,
ness of the committee. 1t was discussed
ct a meeting yesterday and Will be taken
up at the next session at an early date
