ANT1-oR1ENTAL LEGISLATION.

Anti-0riental legislation of the character
proposed in Congress is undoubtedly danger
Gus; on the other hand, the recent history of
Immigration bills gives hope that Congress
will not pass nor the president approve, any
thing resembling jingo measure.
Twice previously have presidents vetoed
immigration bills on less grounds than will be
presented If the house committee insists on
reporting out measure which would bar all
Hindus, Mongolians and Malays. The litter
acy test" has been the feature of these bills
disapproved so strongly by Taft and Wilson
that each went the length of registering Veto
Now the present bill contains both the literacy
test and the radical anti-0riental provisions,
and it will almost certainly be modified in the
houses before the completed legislation reaches
the president s desk

not and will not expect him to do so. To put

The former city engineer, Mr.. Whitehouse,

SCHOF1ELD BARRACKS, Jan. "a
The De Folco Grand Opera Company
was well received at Schofield Bar
racks last night where they played
Aida at the 25th Infantry amusement
hall.
The house was packed and damned.
Ninety per cent of the officers and
ladies of the garrison were present
and a large percentage of the high
ranking noncommissioned officers and
their families. A large part of the
audience was from the 25th Infantry
though there we're soldiers from all
parts of the garrison.
The stage settings were wonderfully
well arranged considering its very
small size.
Owing to De Folco's Illness the part
of Rhadames was taken by Luigi Pog.

He has been accused in open board meeting
and by the chairman of the road committee
-of repudiating a very important report which
he himself drafted.
1t was only last week that this report, in
ferentially recommending concrete paving, was
read to the board, and at the end of the read
ing Supervisor Shingle arose and said that
Whitehouse now declines to stand by the re-
port No reason was given then for the engi-
neer's action, but the Star Bulletin has been
informed that Whitehouse wrote the report at
the insistence of two supervisors who favor
concrete only later to change his mind.
Now it requires no charge of Interior motives
whatever to make such an incident as this dis
credit Engineer Whitehouse's figures on other
things. And it requires nothing but this Incl
dent and knowledge of the former city engi-
nee's failure to take cleancut attitude in
other cases, to discredit generally his denial of
the grand jury's charges.
The present supervisors have been in office
year They have, thanks to the recent legis
lation changing the municipal election date,
something more than year yet to serve.
They took office on distinct pledges of econ
omy. Those pledges, if the figures not only of
the grand jury but of the city auditor are cor
rect, have not yet made good. Unquestionably
by this time the supervisors and the mayor
should have at least made real start toward
an economical administration. Yet in answer
to every criticism of their money spending in
1915 they have to offer only that they will.

SEASON Of DANGER FROM
GAS HEATERS AGAIN HERE

This is the season of the year when
many people instead of starting their
furnaces use gas stoves to take off the
chill. Not infrequently they use rub
Der pipe connections and in many
cases the stoves are not connected with
a flue.
Such an arrangement is dangerous
in the extreme. Every year many
deaths are reported as a result of just
such conditions. Coal gas or water
gas contains a large percentage of
carbon monoxide and this having lit
tie or no perceptible odor may be
present without being noticed. There
is no warning and unless material hav-
ing an odor IS added to the gas, the
victim becomes unconscious and unless
aid arrives a fatal result is almost GER
tain to follow.
Do not use a gas stove without flue
connections and proper ventilation.
Gas water heaters are often in
stalled in bath rooms without outside
connections and then these are made
use of to heat the rom. Such ar
rangements are extremely hazardous.
