enthusiasm with which the merchants
and business men of the city are en-

Parade and Carnival,s said Director
General ChiiIingworth+ this morning,
as he stood on Fort street and
watched the hundreds of flags flap
ping in the breeze, and the other dec
orations which adorn the fronts of the
various places of business. "But il
does not seem that the decorations
are quite complete. There ought to
be more"
In response to the call sounded by
the committee in charge of decorat-
ing the business section of the city
for the Floral Parade and Carnival,
the merchants of the city have now
nearly completed their decorating
with the result that during the last
few days the city has taken on a very
attractive appearance. Bunting,
flags and streamers have been used
in profusion, and through the work
of the committee in charge of the dec
orations, flags nave Eeen strung be-
tween the buildings on each side of
King street for several BLOCKS, and
many of the other thoroughfares
have been decorated in the same
manner 49,.
While there are number OF the
business houses that have resorted to
no outside decorations, they have ar
ranged attractive window displays ap-
propriate to the occasion. Fort street

BUSY SOLONS KEEP
BILLS COMING ALONG
No Fireworks but Plenty OF Ma
terial for Future Fights in
Measures Presented to House
and Senate Plan Adjourn
ment Until Monday on Ac-
count of Carnival

It was not until just before the end
OF the morning session OF the senate
that the real feature OF the days work
bobbed into view. with the announce
ment by Senator Coke that he pro-
poses to introduce an act to repeal the
act 60, passed by the last legislature,
imposing certain restrictions on the
recruiting of laborers. In speaking OF
this bill, Mr. Coke said. after the ses-
sion was over. Act So is a disgrace to
the territory. and feel that it can
not be repealed too soon"
For the rest, the senate droned
along in humdrum manner, much OF
the time being consumed by the read
ing OF the minutes OF yesterdays work,
while the senators fiddled impatiently
in their seats, and the onlookers in the
rows of chairs outside the rail yawned
and stretched. Albert Judd came to
the relief OF the expectant ones by
giving notice that he intends to intro
duce a bill providing for the compila-
tion of the laws of the territory and
the making of dictionary Of the
Hawaiian tongue, SO that in future at
torneys and courts may have an au-
thoritative book on that language.
There we're symptoms of clash
when Senator Chillingworth proposed
that the body adjourn until Monday
morning in order TO allow time for
country members" to attend the par
ade and the landing of Kamehameha
tomorrow, but this was headed off
and the motion was finally carried
without serious opposition. The SEN
ate will therefore convene for work
Monday at 10 o'clock.

Washington. June 19.-Three tired
United States senators came back to
Washington today after a week of
strenuous investigation in the coal
strike district of West Virginia SEN
ators Swanson, Kenyon and MARITIME
who concluded for a time their ex-
animation of witnesses at Charleston
yesterday, returned to the senate to
take up their legislative duties. Dur
ing a week in Charleston the COM
mittee examined nearly hundred wit
nesses. worked ten or twelve hours a
day, often sitting until after midnight
and took about one million words of
testimony. The committee will resume
hearings in Washington in a few weeks
and will take up the charge of the West
Virginia coal operators that the miners
union is in league with operators in the
competitive fields of Pennsylva nfa
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois to ruin the
West Virginia industry. When the
committee resumes the coal operators
will present their complaint that Sen
ator MARITIME has prejudged the case
against them. They will ask to be al
lowed to place in the records a written
statement by Senator MARITIME, criti-
cising the operators The attitude of
Senator MARITIME will be taken up by
the subcommittee and probably will
be presented to the full committee on
education and labor.

F0ILED
FatherS-in-Law More Active
Than Deserted SpOuses.
Town Turns Out to FugitiveS'
Return-HuSban PIOWS.

Liberal, Mo-, June 19.-More per-
sons than turned out to hear Colonel
Roosevelt when he passed through
here in the campaign last fall, were at
the railroad station here yesterday
afternoon to greet Terry NARROW
married, and Mrs. Freeman Fast, like
wise married, when their fathers
brought them home here yesterday.
The pair had been caught in Kansas
City the day before as they alighted
from a train. NARROW took Mrs. Fast
from her home near Liberal Tuesday
in a motor car. They went to Null
berry where they boarded a train to
Kansas City. The fathers of the man
and the woman, both prominent men
here, caused the arrests in Kansas
City. Yesterday they went to Kansas
City to get the runaways.
When the train stopped, Marlow's
father took his son off and to the
fathers home. His mother was at
the station, but his wife had gone to
the home of her sister in the country.
Mrs. Fast's father took her to his
home. Freeman Fast, her husband,
remained at home plowing corn. He
said he was more interested in his
corn than in his wife.
The chauffeur who drove the motor
car for the elopers is said to be hiding
in PittSburg.
