ACKNOWLEDGMENT
ship of Philippines
Weighedin Balance,

Washington. July 1.-THE admins
tration is giving serious consideration
to the choice of a governor genera
for the Philippines and two other
places on the Philippines commission
For the governors genera lship the
name of Oscar Terry Crosby of War
renton, Va, is considered foremost in
official attention and as the one misl
likely to be sent To the Senate at an
early name.
President Wilson had Secretary
Garrison of the war department al
the White House, tonight, for con-
ference on the Philippine question
The selection of a governor general
and other members of the commits
sion is regarded as preliminary step
to the consideration later of the gem
eral policy toward the islands
In some of his public speeches Mr.
Wilson has made favorable illusions
to the pending bill of Rep. Jones OF
Virginia, providing for ultimate in
dependence. The measure has been
before Congress for several years
making much progress. With the
tariff and currency absorbing atten-
ton. determination of the policy to-
ward the Philippines has been defer
red. Meantime the choice of a gov
ernor general and other commission
officials is felt to be desirable in or
der that they may be on the ground
when the larger questions of policy
are taken up later on.
The resignation of Professor Dean
Conant Worcester. secretary of the
interior in the Philippine government
was received. today, by the admins
tration.

GARDINER,
H.B. Lawrence Denied Writ
Of mandamus Against

Haley Returns His Decision.


A message was received in Gardi-
ner, Tuesday. stating that Justice Ha /
ley had filed his decision in the mat :
ter of the petition of Harry Il. Law
renee, for writ of mandamus against
the Gardiner Water District He has
denied the writ as will be seen by his
decision. which follows and the basis
of denial is the statute of 1905.

Legislature, Chapter 81 of the Pri-
vate and Special Laws of 1903, the

cial Laws of 1905, attempting to de-
fine the powers and limitations of the

for single justice not to kold IA stat.

leave that matter for the fun court. /
rule that the statute is valid and that
the respondents are excused from COM
plying with the demands OF the petit
toner.
Justice Haley has certified the case
to the chief justice of the law court
and that court will now decide the
questions involved. It is probable that
a decision will be reached, some time
in August.
Chapter 50, Section of the Private
Laws of 1905 reads in part as follows.
ITO procure funds for making such re-
newals, extensions, additions or i'm
provements in the plant of said Water
District as may seem necessary to the
said trustees. the expense of which
cannot be met from the current income,
provided that the cost of the same dur
ing any one fiscal year of the said Wa
ter District shall not exceed $4,000.
When the cost of renewal. extension.
additions or improvements proposed
during any one fiscal year of the said
Water District shall be estimated by
the trustees at more than $4,000, then
the trustees shall notify the munich
pal officers of the city of Gardiner of
the amount of bonds required to pro-
cure funds to pay the same. The mu-
,nieipa! officers shall then submit the
question whether said bonds. SO re-
ouired. shall be issued To the legal
voters within said Water District"
Upon the eenstitutionality of the
above the law court will rule and upon
such decision hangs the fate of South
Gardeners water supply. as the esti-
mated cost of the extension to South
Gardiner is about $50 900.
