WASHINGTON. 49, The posSi-

A committee Of II senator's and
II representatives, the Joint Com

veStigated the question Of state
hood and other Hawaiian prob
lens this fall.
Some time before Jan. IS the
commission probably will report
TO Congress:
/. That the territory of Hawaii
eventually should become a state.
2. That the people of Hawaii
should vote in a plebiScite on the
question of statehood.
3 That in the meantime the
territory should be treated in
national legislation in the same
manner as a state. (This is par
ticularly important to Hawaii in
connection with sugar quota leg
islation.) il. ,...s. -.t
THERE are two vacancies on the

balanced" by appointing to the
other vacancy a Wall Street

Frank, as general counsel for

REPORT IS MADE
ON CHILD WELFARE
"Encouraging Note" Sound.
Led in Annual Statement
to Commissioners.

An encouraging note" was sounded
by the Division of Child Welfare in
submitting its annual report for the
1897 fiscal year to the District Com
missioners yesterday through the
Board OF Public Welfare.
The encouraging factor was the
relatively small number of children
received for care outside their own
homes. Although the ATT children
in this classification represent an in
crease of 81 over last year, the re-
port said. the number received for
care in both of these years is lower
than at any time since 1925.
