HIT at Lobbying.

Members OF both houses OF congress
this year have been introducing bills
to stop lobbying in its offensive form.
Lobbying Is not carried on as openly
and as fiagrantly as 1t was a few
years ago, but It Is still in evidence.
and 1t always win lie In evidence, no
matter what laws are passed, because
there Is certain kind OF lobbying
which is recognized as being proper.
There is nothing to prevent men and
women from telling members OF con-
gress their side OF the case upon
which 1t is proposed to legislate. The
kind OF lobbying which Is aimed at In
the various bills is the "pernicious &C
tivity kind" where representatives OF
great concerns selfishly Interested in
legislation use their influence to pro
mote It or to. retard 1t as 1t seems best
from their point Of view.
Representative Charles +. Smith Of
Buffalo. an old-time newspaper man.
has introduced the most recent bill
for the suppression Of lobbying and
for the regulation of duly accredited
representatives of persons. firms, cor
porations and associations interested
in legislation before congress-"
The Smith bin provides that ever
person who Is employed for compen-
sation as counsel or agent OF any con
Germ interested In legislation shall file
with the secretary OF the senate and
the clerk Of the house a paper stating
the name of his employers and the de-
scription o. the legislation on behalf
OF which or against which his services
are to be rendered The bill also pro
vides for publicity of expenses OF such
lobbying agents Violations OF the
law shall be, according to the bill
punishable by Imprisonment or by q
fine of 81. 900 or both.
Congress has been ASKED to make
public acknowledgment OF the serv,
ices OF Capt John Ericsson, the engi-
neer and inventor who constructed
the Monitor, which fought the Merri
mac In Hampton Roads early in the
war between the states. The acknowl
edgment OF Ericsson's services il
based not only on his work Of con
structing the Monitor, but because. as
the resolution puts 1t his skin and
services effected a revolution in the
naval architecture OF the world"

Renews old controversy.

The fiftieth anniversary OF the fight
between the Monitor and Merrimac
has Just been observed. II brought
about a renewal of the old controversy
as to which of the two vessels really
won the fight. It Is claimed for the
Merrlmac that 1t was an ironelad and
was built before the Monitor and that
therefore its designers were the ones
whose work effected a revolution In
the naval architecture OF the world. &"
Whole volumes were written at the
time OF the recognition of the fiftieth
anniversary OF this sea fight between
the ironclads. Some men take one
side and some another. and It might
be said in passing that there were one
or two northern men who took the
side OF the adherents of the Merit
mac, saying that IL is not altogether
true that the victory lay entirely with
the Monitor. Most men. however. pro-
nounced the whole discussion fruItless.

Not In be history OF congress 10
years has there been so much
uncertainty as to the dste Of ad
ournment Some OF the Democrats
of the house think that adjournment
is sure prior 10 the opening oil the
convention. but there are those wht
say that the session will last un'i'
September.
The situation is a most curious one
the house being Democratic by large
majority can put through such tarin
legislation as 1t desires. and put y
through quickly, but over In the sen
ate there are two parties ard two
factions in each The Progressive Re
publicans in the senate want down

such downward revision as the Demo
Gratis Of the house have proposed. TOT
the PTogressives think that II Is too
extreme. The regular Republicans ID
the senate are willing to cut the
schedules little, but not as much as
their Progressive brethren would like
them to be cut. nor anything Ike as
much as the Democratic majority OF
the house would like to have them
cut

the senate and the Democrats OF the
same body get together and put
through a compromise tariff bill and
get the house to sanction 1t, 1t Will go
to the president. Then If Mr. Taft
shall veto the bill as some people
seem TO think he will because 1t was
not based on the tariff boards report.
the Democrats of the house may stop
further attempts at tariff legislation
and will be content to go before the
country saying whats the use?" In
this case adjournment will come early
II. on the other hand. the senate
shall debate some tariff bill for six
weeks or two months. as 1t often has
cone before reaching any conclusion
in the matter. and then should pass
a bill for which they could get the
sanction of the house, and the presi-
dent should make up his mind to sign
1t. the Democratic house majority will
continue its tariff legislation endeavor
and the session may last through the
hot season until the leaves begin to
turn in the fall. There are a few In

GAMBLERS ARE
WORRIED A lot

Gambling in two different Chinese
joints was broken up last night by re-
porters connected with The Advertiser,
one of the games being conducted in
the notorious Pauahi street building
which has often been raided during the
past four years.
The police detectives, as well as The
Advertiser, have been collecting evi.
dence against this and other joints
along Hotel, Maunakea and Nuuanu
'treetS Tor several weeks, the evidence
-hewing that notorious gamblers are
running the games, the majority of
whom have been frequently hailed be.
fore the police magistrate.
While the police have made no move
lately to gain entrance to these Joints,
thew with The Advertiser have been
watching closely the movements of
| those connected with the gambling
houses, the means of entrance aud exit
and particularly certain secret means
| of leaving the rooms when raided or
mcnaced by the police. The watchmen
and the hackers are being spotted
1t was rumored last night that at
least two of the gambling houses would
be closed for the present owing to the
secret activity of those who have been
engaged in collecting evidence.
The gambling house on Pauahi street
has been particularly under surveillance
and informcrs have given damaging
evidence which may be soon laid be-
fore the grand jury. The watchmen
are becoming more and more daring
and now stand on the sidewalks and
ct in the gamblers who give sign
that they are OK Yaie locks are
opened by the watchmen and this is
prima facie evidence TO those who
guard the inner doors that the ones
coming are bona fide player who have
passed the outer guard Once within
the street door, the pullcys connecting
with the staircase barricaded doors are
vanked and the several doors are open
to the player.
The watchmcn Mt the different games
/ have been carefully identified and can
now be arrested at any time.
The uncertainty of the laws with re-
gard to arresting gamylers has made
/ the police adopt this new means to
clrcumvcnt the bankers of the big
games.
Sheriff Jarrett will ask the legisla-
4 ture to pass n new "barricaded door
! " NAiANh VIII GldUlt MIN TO make
raids in a much easier manner, and
will ask thaat the law definitely set
forth that a barricaded door is prima
facie evidence of the fact that the
rooms are devoted to gambling. The
supervisors will also be asked to amend
the present building law to bring the
barricaded door feature into it and
thereby make it a violation of that law
] tp hor
The police have been diligent in
keeping on the track of the gambling
houses but have been discouraged CON.
Hsiderably by the small fines imposed
upon the men arrested and by the
necessity of being compelled to prove
too much in the court
Some of the gambling houses, par
tieularly those on Pauahi street and
Hotel streets, are reported to have
made thousands of dollars during the
! past year.
