NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL

After a bitter fight extending over
several weeks, the State Legislature
last week gave in to Gov. Lister and
passed the road building bill providing
for new State roads during the next
two years under levy of 1 IA mills
for 1918 and one mill for 1915.
The State Legislature last week
passed the minimum wage for wom-
en-" law. The new law provides for
an industrial welfare commission Of
five members, which shall investigate
all industries employing women and
determine fair minimum wage, suffi-
cient to give woman employee de-
cent living. This shall be fixed as the
minimum wage in the industry af-
fected.
1t is announced by the state tax
commission in a letter written to the
labor unions of Everett that under the
state constitution there can be no sin
gle tax put into operation in that city.
The commission says that the consti-
tuition of Washington provides that all
property shall be assessed equally and
that as Everett has to pay its share of
county and state taxes its single tax
theories cannot be put into practice.
Capital punishment has been abol-
ished in the State of Washington. In
stead, first degree murderers will spend
their lives in prison, and with the
death penalty removed it is expected
that the guilty ones will be more GER
tain Of conviction. The fight to abol-
ish the death penalty was begun two
years ago by Representative Frank P.
Goss, Of Seattle, and he kept this fight
up through the recent session Of the
legislature, which last week finally put
an end to hanging. One Of the prin-
cipal objections against its abolition,
that Of the possibility Of Governors
abusing the pardoning power, was
eliminated when another bill was con-
currently passed prohibiting the Gov
ernor from exercising the power Of par
don in the case Of convicted first de-
gree murderers until these shall have

The submission OF the Hedger-
Hastings fiscal bill as substitute for a
bill introduced earlier in the session
was one OF the surprises of the ses-
sion. 1t is claimed that this bill would
put under the control of the governor
and his appointees the Offices Of the
state treasurer and state land commits
sioner, and would rob of authority the
offices of secretary Of state and state
auditor. The bill provides for com
mission to be composed of the state
treasurer, state land commissioner, the
governor and two men appointed by
the governor, so that the governor
would be able to control two votes
while the elective officers would have
but two. The bill provides for the
consolidation of half dozen commits
sions, the work to be in charge Of the
new commission. This bill has stirred
up considerable opposition and has
been called the king bilp' by the re-
publican members. 1t is not believed
that the bill will pass in its present
form.

FORD'S SENTENCE TOO
LIGHT, SENATORS SAY
Legislators Favor Heavy Pen

Believing that negroes who attack white
women In the streets of Washington
should be given severe punishment. men,
bers OF the Senate expressed their sur
prise that James G. Ford. the negro who
attacked Miss Edith Howson OF 1891
Massachusetts avenue southeast In front
of her home Wednesday night had been
sentenced to only six months I'm jail.
When arraigned In Police Court Ford
was charged with simple assault" The
maximum penalty that could have been
imposed was one year in jail.

lection
The man should have been given the
limit OF the law" said Senator Poindex-
ter. Il will support any bin which win
give the assailants Of women long terms

Senator Williams Opinion.
Senator Williams of Mississippi said
that rather than impose such light
sentence on Ford the Judge should have
pinned a rose on him and turned him
loose"
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina also
declared the sentence too light.
Judge Pugh declined to d scuss the dis
position of the charge of assault on
which Ford was convicted yesterday.
other than to say that the facts in the
90 CO Indicated that Ford was drunk and
probably had staggered into the woman
who appeared as the prosecuting witness
against him.
IF senator's had been sitting in judg-
ment n the case. and had heard all OF
the evidence" Judge Pugh said. II don't
think they would have given the man a.
severe a sentence as the one I imposed
on him."

WHARvES SURVEYED
BY DISTRICT HEADS
Commissioners Guests of Gen.
John A. Johnston Aboard !,
His Yacht Trident.

A survey OF Washington's water front
lie being made this afternoon by the new
District of Columbia Commissioners. in
company with former Commissioner John
A. Johnston. on board the latter's steam
yacht. the Trident.
AS District Official Gen. Johnston took
great interest in all matters relating TO
the development OF the citys water front.
and as a private citizen he has con-
tinued to manifest this interest.
Prior to the trip down the river today.
Gen. Johnston gave a luncheon in honor
of Commissioners Newman. Siddons and
Harding at the Army and Navy Club.
One OF the points of particular interest
inspected is the fish wharf and market.
which has been operated as a municipal
institut on since March l5. II is under
stood that the Commissioners estimates
for next year provide for the build ne
OF a new fish wharf plant at O cost OF
about $l75OOO.
Gen. Johnston Showed Interest.
Following the taking over OF this prop
erty last spring. Gen. Johnston In com.
pany with Col. W. c. Haskell. superin-
tendent of weights. measu es and mar
kets. visited the market almost daily for
a period OF several weeks and personally
directed a number OF improvements that
were made. The buildings were white
washed. and the entire plant put in q
generally improved sanitary condition.
, From the deck Of the Trident the Com
missioners this afternoon were able TO
/, contemplate a prospective waterfront de-
velopment scheme which has been out
lined to them by the wharf committee or
the District. The principal features of
the plan proposed a that all wharves
shall be built to extend down stream and
that the Potomac Park retaining wall be
moved back distance Of 400 feet. so that
the total width between bulkhead walls
along the Washington channel be not less
than 400 feet. excepting In the upper
portion of the channel, where only small
shipping Is handled.
The Commissioners, II is understood.
have included In the estimates for next
year an item to cover the cost of a sur

They are Shih Chen Hu, senior clerk In

The object in sending the three Chinese
oficials to the United States was to OBJ
tain information for the new republican
government at Peking on which reforms
can be instituted In China Before COM

The three officials are particularly In
terested in the courts. the prisons ana
the mints in this country. and before
leaving the United States will invest gate
these three subjects thoroughly. They
want to thoroughly overhaul the old
methods still in use in their country.
One OF the subjects to be considered Is
that of executions. The Chinese parlia-
ment is expected to take up this question
soon.
In the old days in China criminals
were executed by cutting or their heads,
but since the revolution they have been
shot Electric executions are TO De IN
