WHAT'S THE USE
of doing without the comforts of life that cost no more than the
necessities whose place they take? Why do without good lights,
for instance, when they are no more expensive than poor lights?
Electric JLiglit
is a luxury that costs no more than the poorest kind of light.
Wouldn't you say, off-hand, that any one is foolish to use any other
light? See us about having your house wired for electricity.

pointed to Investigate the charges of graft brought against the Electric

the charge of graft In submarines Is
fciiro to ho reported. It ennnot now
be suppressed.
In tho ' Washington Herald this
morning appeared n dispatch repre
senting I.llley as anxious to withdraw
his resolution if ho could get a sharu
of the submarlnu contracts for tho
Lake company. This dispatch placed
tho accused members of tho nawil
committee In tho position of demand
ing an Investigation nnd refusing to
bo "Intimidated" by I.llloy. It declar
ed that Lllley's action had put them
in very bad standing with the house.
It then went on to assert that i.llley
had accused Sherman of Now York,
not n member of tho committee, of
being "In on tho graft" nnd Hopro
sentatlvo Griggs of Georgia, another
who Is not n member of tho commit
tee, of having "fixed" Johu Sharp
Williams and Do Armoud.
"Lies," Says Lilley.
"Griggs," I.llley called out, "are
jou looking for me?"
"yes, I am," replied the Georgian.
"What have jou to say about this
innltor?"
"Just what I Bald to Mr. Adamson,"
said I.llley, "and that Is that the state
ments contained In that article nro
lies."
They sent for Frank II. I,ord, tho
Washington- Herald and New York
Sun representative.
"I believe," said Lilley, "that you
are In tho employ of tho Llectrlc
boat company."
"What else have you to say to mo?"
snld Lord.
"I hao this: When you wrote that
article published In tho Washington
Herald this morning J on were n
liar."
Afraid of Lilley.
"You nro taking ndvantnsa of your
position us a member of (lid hdtlso to
mnku an attack on me to which 1
cannot reply na I would llko to," an
bwered Lur-i.
"I will go with you alono to tho
most rcmoto spots In the district,"
retorted Lilley, and there I will tell
jou again what I soli to you Just
now."
"I don't need to hear nnythlng
more. That satlslles me," said
Griggs.
Apparently Sherman was satisfied,
too, and they walked away together.
it Is tho general opinion now that

As the result of tho arrest of a
leper suspect yesterday there Is a
possibility of charges of illegal de
tention being brought against Chief
of Detectives A. P. Taylor and Pres
ident Plnkhnm of tho Hoard ot
Health. Tho arrest was made yes
terday afternoon at tho olllco of Dr.
Atcherley by an agent of tho Hoard
of Health, who was hacked up by
Tuyjor. and Special Olllcer Ilcevcs.
Attomoy C. W. ABhford was pres
ent nt tho tlrno ot tho arrest and
protested ngalnst tho action, and
mny tako tho matter Into tho' courts
In a now endeavor to navo tho law
regulating such arrests declared Il
legal. According to tho law, the per-
Mm nnestcd has tho light to call In
n physician, who shall consult with
tho Hoard ot Health, tho two having
to certify that the suspect Is a leper
nnd capable of spreading tho dlseaso
In case the two are uuuhlu to agree

third physician, who shall deqldo tho
matter.

who 13 a Hawaiian woman, selected
Dr. Atcherley as lior representative,
(ho latter agreeing with' Dr. Mac
Donald that tho suspect was a leper,
but refusing to certify that bIio was
capablo of spreading the disease. Ho
was then notified to consult with Dr.
McDonald In regard to tho selection
of n third physician, hut has failed
to do bo. As tho law does not pio
vlde for any such contingency, It Is
a matter which will probably be
brought before the Territorial courts
for a decision.
SUSPEND LAWS
FOR SHORT PERIOD
House Committee's Report On Ha
waii's Appeal for Passen
ger Privileges.
,(
A Hill to Amend the Laws Con
cerning Transportation llctwccii
the Ports of tho Territory of Ha
waii and Other Ports of tho
United Slutcs.
He it enacted by tho Scnnto nnd
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con
gress Assembled:
That for n period of six years from
the passngo ot this Act, passengers
may be transported without penalty
In foreign vessels between ports of
the Territory of Hawaii and other
ports of the United States: Provid
ed, however, that the provisions of
this nct.shall cease to be operative
whenever a new line of nt least three
steamships of tho United States shall
have been established from the Unit
ed Stntcs to Hawaii.
This Is the bill reported favorably
to the llouso of Representatives by
Congressman Llttlefleld from thp
Gogumlttce on Merchant Marino nnd
Plshcrlcs. The report follows:
Tho Committee on the Merchant
Marino and Fisheries having had un
der consideration tho bill (II. II.
134G5) "to amend tho laws concern
ing transportation between tho ports
of tho Territory of Hawaii and other
ports of the United States," report
the same with an amendment and
the recommendation that tho bill do
pass as amended,
Tho purpose of this measure Is to
afford temporary relief to, and addi
tional facilities for, passenger travel
between tho linwkllMi Islands and
tho mainland of tho United Stntcs.
Owing to tho discontinuance nt the
Oceanic Steamship Company's service
to Australia, and the law prohibiting
foreign steamers which mako Hono
lulu n port of call from transporting
passengers from Hawaii to San Fran
cisco, the people of the Hawaiian Isl
nnd have three less passenger steam
ships available for travel from tho
port ot Honolulu than they had when
the annexation net was passed ten
years ago. Tho present conditions
arc an additional hardship because
of tho fact that the volumo of pdV
tongcr travel has meantime Increased
more than B0 per cent.
During tho past year there have
been numerous occasions whoa the
tlmo between sailings of American
ships' haH been from eight to twenty
ono days, with Intervals, of ten or
twolvo days a frequent occurrence.
In numerous cases the American
steamers calling nt Honolulu en
onto to San Francisco from tho
Orient, have not been able to provide
cabin spaco for moro than from 10
to CO per cent, of the passengers book
cd for those steamers.
Tho people ot Hawaii say, with
much reason, that It was never tho
purposo in annexing those Islands to
tho United States to mako communi
cation with the mainland moro dlfll
cult than It was when they were a
foreign country.
No chnngo of tho law as regards
freight transportation Is nsked, nor
aro lower steamer fares sought; tho
purposo Is only to secure tho physical
possibility ot travel when business or
personal reasons demand It.
Inasmuch ns Hawaii has no alter
native of land travel, the application
of tho coastwise laws to those Islands
has created a total inhibition at trav
el for tho varying periods between
American steamer sailings, such ns

of those Inws.
This bill as amended specifically
provides that Its operation shall

American steamships shall be placed
In this service.
Tho mcasuic is neither nsked nor

Hue Intent of the American shipping

nich time ns a proper support of the
American merchant marine will en

porary expedient ai peculiar and un

Congress In rtot enacting ndequnto
legislation. It Is Very unlikely that
they can be duplicated, and this bill
can not bo relied upon as In nny
foiiho n precedent for any legislation
that will In any degree permanently

laws.
