The committee will consist of four Aa eemblymen and three members of the Senate. The resolution, which Is of the most sweeping character, provides that the committee can examine Into any and all acta of the court, summon witnesses to give evidence under oath and do everything- necessary to bring out the facte connected with the case to be ln-veptla-ated. The committee. It Is believed, will I I old Its sessions In the Capitol and ! the Justices of the court will be riven ; notice to appear and submit to ex amination. There has been some hesitancy about appointing; the committee before Tues day, owing- to the fact that the court had set that date for a decision upon the petition of Attorney-General Webb to set aside the order which saved Aba Jloef from the penitentiary and waa alined under peculiar circumstances by Justice Henshaw before the briefs had n anhrr. SubaMUOtlT. the Or der was signed by Justices Melvin. j lorigaa and Beatty. while llensnaw was out of the atate. and, tinder the constitution, legally dead. Hence the rder had at no time mora than three legal signatures. There has been no Intimation up to the present tlma as to the membership of the committee, but It la practically certain that It will not be composed entirely of lawyers. CO REAM FAMILY TROUBLES Xjirxe Noinbrr of Relative After Share of r ens Ion 3Ionejs. TOKIO. Feb. It. (Special.) It ap pears that the Coreen Idea of family has caused some complication In re gard to the pension proposals of Japan. The family, aa It Is understood In Cores, often numbers SO to 106 mem bers, and every one of the number con atdera that he possesses a title, more or less substantial, to a share In any pen sions or commutation moneys which the Japanese government may grant to connection with amalgamation. If all the claims were recognised the inevitable effect would be the fritter ing away of the large sums allotted by Japan to the newly-titled families chosen, and a bill la being accordingly drafted to deal with the question.

Reporting of Case of Typhoid Fever Driven Soldiers mad Tourist From Austrian Town. VIENNA, Feb. 18. Special Medical circles here are greatly disturbed by the tragic story of Dr. Frans, whose faithful performance of his duty led In directly to a painful and distressing end. The victim was official medical man to the parish of Rlodau. where hensraa born and had lived all his life. In the coarse of his duties be encoun tered a rase of typhoid fever, which, aa in" duty bound, be reported to tha Dis trict Prefecture. Rlodau Is a picturesque little place, frequented by a certain number of visi tors for their Bummer vacation, and aa It Is In the gone of the regular military maneuvers a number of soldiers are billeted on the town during the opera tion. N . , The visitors, aa may be expected, gave the place a wide berth last Bummer and the army authorities sent the men elsewhere, so the townspeople, aa waa Inevitable In tha unfortunate circum stances, suffered some pecuniary loes. Unreasonlngly. they blamed the doctor for this and organized a campaign - of revenge on an Innocent and dutiful man. They refused to sell blm food, broke hes windows, wrote threatening letters, and. In fort, treated blm In true boycott fashion. The town authorities, too. Joined In the attack and dismissed him from his office aa parish doctor. Dr. Frans thereupon appealed to the District Prefect, who afforded him pow erful support. The Burgomaster was deposed, tha Parish Council dismissed from office, the doctor's dismissal was cancelled and gendarmes wen furnished for his protection. The damage, however, .was Irrevocable. Old patients would not pay debts and no new onee consulted the nnfortunate doctor. At last his health could stand the or deal no longer and he died suddenly un der an apoplectic stroke, lie was only 36 years old and has left behind mother, wife and children without resources. The Austrian Medical Association will not permit any doctor to fill the vacant poet and it la expected that the govern ment will make provision for those whose bread-winner baa been driven to death as a reward for hla conscientious fulfilment of hie duty to hla fellow- men- BOHEMIAN TWINS SEEN London Views Unman Cariosity Like Slamrwe Couple.

More. WASHINGTON, Feb. It. Determina tion of the queatlon as to whether the Panama Railroad Company should en courage competition with Its own steamers and thereby Increase tha loss now Incurred In hauling freight across tha Isthmus at less than cost confronts the Government In dealing with tha California A Atlantlo Steamship Com pany, which wants to maintain vessels on tha Atlantic. ' Secretary of War Dickinson thus advises President Taft In a letter made publlo today bearing on the rate situation between the rail road and steamship lines. The Secretary set forth In ills letter that 23 1-3 per cent Is the minimum that goes to the railroad on all foreign and Central American business. Ke el uct Ion of the differential to the Pa cific Coast carrier from 70 to 60 per cent would raise the question as to whether the charge to the coastwise traffic should not at the same time be increased by the railroad from 13 1-2 to 23 1-1 per cent. Such attention, the Secretary urges. might drive the steamship companies out of business and lay the Govern ment open to the charge of playing Into the bands of the transcontinental railroad companies. Concessions have been made by both the California & Atlantic and the Pacific Mall Steam ship Companies In order to get busi ness. The Secretary believes these concessions amount to cutting of rates, which the 70 per cent division has en abled them to do. He sets forth that It Is alleged that the American - Hawaiian Steamship Company has formerly cut rates in competition with the railroad com pany and may do so again. It would be unfortunate, he holds. If a freight rate war on this business should be started. The Hawaiian Company contends for non-dlsorlmlnatlve rates across the Isthmus. Tha Secretary thinks a conference soon to be held wlU admit of general adjustment. CUT AJMED AT INDEPENDENTS Shipping Interests Ixmer Rates to Fight Ooast-to-Unlf Line. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.

Lillian Ashley Turnbull. mother of the contestant, took the stand when court convened at 10 o'clock and con tradicted several of the estate's wit nesses by testifying that she occupied the private suite of "Lucky" Baldwin in the Baldwin Hotel at Arcadia on the i - v- niv there. Executor ULL.OIVU v& J Unruh. of the Baldwin estate, testified two days ago to tne oontrary. The re-dlrect examination of Mrs. Turnbull occupied a few momenta and then tha defense entered Into a minute cross-examination of the witness on her tlnanolal relations with Colonel Albert Pope. Counsel obtained from her an admission that she had given to Wil liam Redding, Colonel Pope's attorney, receipts for money and had received a total of nine letters from him. She explained this ontradictlon of previous testimony by saying she believed these documents had been in the possession of James R. Wood and therefore aha doubted their validity.

With this the testimony ended and further hearing of the case was con tinued until February tt. at which time It Is understood a motion will be made by the defense asking the court to in struct the Jury sgalnst the plaintiff.
