OF INTERIOR DEPARTMENT in
HIS ANNUAL REPORT TO
The PEOPLE.
Asks Congress Ia Change Many Laws
Considered undergraduates Devel-
opment of Alaska Resources, Points
to Need of Water Power Control and
Asks Congress to Act at Once.

ngton.-Enlarged application of
he leasing principle as applied to the
public domain, especially liberal leas-
ing law for the development of the
mineral resources of Alaska, particu-
larly its coal lands, and immediate con
sideration by congress of the whole sub
iect of water power development and
control, are the most important recon-
mendations contained in the annual re-
port of Secretary of the Interior Fisher.
A general overhauling of conditions
in Alaska is needed, the secretary says.
He favors a law for the retirement of
government employees, placing it on the
ground of good business policy. He
urges the creation of a bureau of ma
tional parks, each of them at present
being ga separate and distinct unit
for administrative purposes. There is
also serious need, he declares, for the
enlargement of the work of the bureau
of mines.

mute the death sentence to imprison-
Lment for life.

Favors Colorado Board.

1t is unsound, both in principal and
in practice, he says, that permits for
the development of water power are
revocable at any time at the will of
the administrative officials.
A modern and properly equipped
building for the patent Office, additional
mine safety cars for the bureau of
mines, the reestablishment of the board
of pension appeals and increased re-
sources for the federal board of educa-
tion to carry on its work are among the
other recommendation in the report.
The secretary calls attention anew to
the inconsistent manner in which the
work of the government has been di-
vided among the interior, agricultural
and commerce and labor departments.
The patent office, he says, should be un
der the department of commerce and
labor.

velopment of Alaska cannot be accom-
plished under existing laws, the secre-
tary declares; wherefore, he urges also
the construction by the government of
a central trunk line railroad from tide
water to the Tanana and Yukon; the
reservation of a sufficient amount of
the coal lands to provide for the future
needs of the navy, this coal to be mined
oy the government; more liberal appro.
priations for roads and trails, and the
adoption Of a territorial form of gov
eminent, a commission form being sug-
gested, better adapted to its remote sit
nation and peculiar local conditions.
Calls Attention TO Water Power
''The whole subject of water power
development and control should, in my
Judgment, receive the immediate con
sideration of congress, says the secre-
tary, "and constructive legislation
should be adopted without further de-
lay. I believe the federal government
has adequate constitutional power to
ontrol water power development, both
n navigable streams and upon the pub
ic domain, and to exact compensation
nd to impose proper conditions in eth
case. tits apparent that the federal
government can act more effectively
than the states in many cases.
"No correct or permanent solution of
the water power question can be reach
ed until the interests of the state and
of the nation have been reconciled
The federal government should not part
with any of its constitutional powers
Their exercise is certain in the future
to become essential to the protection OF
the public interest"

30 600 CHINESE PARADE

None of the more than 10000 per
sons in the parade that wound its way
through the city's business district
wore a queue and the gaily hued silk
robes of other days were replaced by
the garb of the occident.
The faomus dragon had been relegat-
ed to seclusion, and the tomtoms and
other music making instruments of old
China were replaced by the strident
brasses Of American bands and the
tunes were ragtime and American ma
tional airs.
Chinese women shared with the men
positions of prominence and in the ma
iority Of cases the gowns of the women
were as much American as the clothing
of the men.

Exploitation Retards Growth.
"The great public movement for the
conservation of our national resources,
says Secretary Fisher, sis not in any
way opposed to prompt and wise de
velopment of the public domain. The
essential thing is to see that under the
guise of settlement, we do not permit
more exploitation, which in the last
analysis retards both settlement and de-
velopment.' He recommends, there
| fore, certain notifications of existing
laws relating to the public domain, so
as to permit its proper development.
Many of the restrictive provisions
which now irritate and hamper the bona
fde settler and industrial pioneer should
be removed, he says.
IlObCCb bAlC IlOAlColCoNACAs
''The man on the ground should be
the object of our solicitude, and we
should protect him against those who
would place upon his shoulders any un
necessary BURDEN
In regard to agricultural land set
tiers, Secretary Fisher holds that tn,
law should insist absolutely upon cul
tivation, but "should permit the relax
alton of the rule requiring residence
during the first two years" in som'
cases on account of conditions, ther'
being ono reason whatever for insist
ing upon the requirement of actual res
idence at the outset"
More Liberty for Settler.
Some modification of the law in re
gard to repayment of reclamation
charges is recommended and a chang
in the law is proposed to permit tn
settler at any time after five years iron

lived for three years upon his land, {

MUST Secure PermlssIon.

In decision at Bellefontaine Judge
Drodrick of the common pleas court
upheld the constitutionality of section
"a of the public utilities act, which
requires that before telephone COM
pany can build a competing toll line
ii must first secure permission of the
public utilities commission. 1t is the
first court decision in Ohio on the con-
stitutionality of the section. The
United Telephone Co. of Bellefontaine
brought suit to restrain the Farmers
Telephone Co. from constructing toll
line between DeGraff and West Lib
erty, on the ground that the United
company is already furnishing ade-
quate service and the Farmers COM
pany had not secured permission from
the utilities commission to build such
line. Judge Brodrick upheld the con-
tention of the United company.

1000 Women March for Vote.


Columbus. To the cheers of
$4,000 persons along the line of
march, 1900 Ohio suffragets stepped
in their centennial parade here bearing
banners pleading for the ballot.
The parade started at IL a. M, on

ing shoes, were doctors and lawyers,
nurses and housekeepers, teachers
and mattresses, society and club wom-
en-, and mothers and daughters whose
activities are centered in their homes.
1--WE teach voters, but we can't
vote" said the banner borne by the
teachers delegation.
Women vote in China; why not in
Ohio?" was the slogan carried by the
Cleveland delegation, headed by Mrs.
J. ]. Sullivan, Miss Selma Sullivan,
Miss Myrta Jones and Miss lara Du
Pont.
There were 100 autos bedecked with
flowers and banners, and then came
IL floats illustrating history Of suffrage
and woman's suffrage successes in the
six free" states.
Besides, there were 100 men march
ers, led by ex-Mayor Marshall of Co
lumbus and Dean Denny of Ohio State
University.

New Coins Not Favored.

Bank officials and clerks of banks
do not take kindly to the proposition
that the government coin 2h-cent
pieces and 1a-cent pieces. The ma
iority of them take the position that
there is no necessity for any new coin
age pieces. What they most desire is
a sufficient coinage of the pieces al
ready in use. In this connection it is
pointed out that no little difficulty is
often experienced in securing enough
1-cent pieces, nickels and dimes. There
are said to be small coins enough to
take care of the business of the coun-
try if there is a sufficient quantity at
hand all the time for the demand.
Cashiers and bank tellers are opposed
to the new coinage for the reason that
it will complicate the matter of max
ing change by adding fractional pieces
which will require much mental effort
to adjust and at times necessitate pen
Gil work in order to make certain.

Nav Protect peposltors.

Columbus.-That banks, by surety
bonds, may protect their depositors
against losses. is the gist of an opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General Ho-
gan to F. E. Baxter, state superin-
tendent of banks. This is said to be
practical method which could be
made to take the place of the state
guaranty of bank deposits, as adopt
ed by Oklahoma.
The attorney general, in his opinion,
said: 'The power to contract or be
contracted with gives to a bank very
broad powers, and, in the absence of
any provision prohibiting bank from
securing its depositors by surety
company bond, it seems that this pow
er or right can we'll be implied"
Mr.. Baxter propounded the question
to the attorney general in the interest
of a number of banks who wished to
know whether they might purchase a
surety bond for the protection of their
depositors and give them the same sort
of protection that the state or a po-
Iitical subdivision demands when ii
deposits public money.

Columbus.-Columbu witnessed the
largest parade of civil war veter-
ans 1t had seen since the national
G. A. r. encampment in 1888. Prob
ably $500 veterans participated. They
were escorted by 500 veterans of the
Spanish-American war In uniform,
who stood with colors dipped and
heads uncovered as the gray-bearded
men marched through their ranks in
front of the reviewing stand. Sons
and grandsons of veterans also par
ticipated in the parade.
While the old soldiers were passing
through the open ranks of the Span
ish war veterans white man and a
colored man refused to take off their
hats. Both of them received rough
treatment at the hands of the Span
ish war veterans. 1t required the
services of the police and National
Guardsmen on duty to rescue them.
The parade was marked by num-
Der of unique features. 1t was headed
by two battalions of regular soldiers
from the Columbus barracks, follow
ing which came the famous "Old
Guard of Columbus and Newark, one
of the few remaining organizations of
soldiers in the country which main
tains a strictly military organization.
They carried the old Springfield rifles
of the civil war period and were ac-
companied by their own drum and fife
corps, made up of veterans.
One float of the parade carried Grip
pied soldiers, while in the rear was
a pup-tent, such as the soldiers used
on the march during the '61-'65 cam
paign Under this was little old sol
dier, who appeared to be s5 years of
age. One of the old soldiers carried
a cornet and played Marching
Through Georgia" as he passed the re,
viewing stand.
