HINTS TO CONGRESS President Says" Certain New Laws Should Be Passed. MUST GIVE RELIEF TO LABOR Allow Traffic Agreements Among the Railroads Amend Anti-Trust Law Reviso Tariff. Washington, March 26. Insisting that certain important measures should be passed by the present congress, Pres ident Roosevelt sent a special message to both houses yesterday. The message in part follows: Child labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least a model child labor bill should bo passed for the District of Columbia. 1 renew my recommendation for the immediate re-enactment of an employ ers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the Supremo court. Within the limits indicated by the court the law should be made thor ough and comprehensive, and the pro tection it affords should affect every class of employe to which the power of the congress can extend. In addition to a liability law protecting the em ployes of common carriers the govern ment should show its faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own employes for injury or death incurred in its service. I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions in labor disputes. No temporary restrain ing order should be issued by any court without noticce and the petition for a permanent injunction upon which such temporary injunction has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the parue within a reasonable time nay not to exceed a week or thereabout. I again call attention to the argent need of amending the interstate com merce law and especially the anti-trust law, along the1 lines indicated in my last message. The interstate commerce law should be amended so as to give railroads the right to make traffic agreements, subject to these agree ments being approvedby the Interstate Commere commission and published in all details. In addition to the reasons I have al ready urged on your attention it has cow beome important that there should be an amendment of the anti-trust law because of the uncertainty as to how this law affects combinations among laboring men and farmers, if the combination has any tendency to re strict interstate commerce. All of these combinations, if and while exist ing for and engaged in the promotion of innocent and proper purposes, should be recognized as legal, as I have repeat edly pointed out. The time has come when we should prepare for a revision of the tariff. This ehould be, and indeed must be. preceded by careful investigation. It is peculiarly the province of the house of representatives to originate a tariff billfcnd to determine upon its terms ; arid this I fully realize, yet it seems to me that before the close of this session provision ehould be made for collecting full material which will enable the congress elected next fall to act imme diately after it comes into existence. Ample provision ehould be made for a permanent waterway commission with whatever power is required to make it effective. The congress should realize in fullest fashion the fact that the subject of the conservation of our natural resources with which this com mission deals is literally vital for the future of the nation. Numerous bills granting water power rights on navigable streams have been introduced. None of them gives the government the right to make a reason able charge .for the valuable privilege granted. Nor Is any definite time limit Bet, as ebould always be done in such cases, and I shall be obliged therefore, in accordance with the policy stated in a recent message, to veto any water power bill which doea not provide for a time limit and the" collection of a just and reasonable charge. Many Traitors in China. Pekln, March 26. Seven men arrest ed recently charged with trafficking in governmental secrets have been found guilty and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. This punishment is generally considered to be worse than death. It would appear that the con spiracy against tho government is fairly widespread, and the revelations have considerably alarmed the court. No less than 30 important persons are now being held in custody and it is reported that the chief of police of the forbidden city is among them. Cannot Deport an Anarchist. San Francisco, March 26 Joseph Zaboski, an alleged anarchist arrested by Detective Goff recently, has been given liberty by the immigration com missioner. The Inability of the depart ment to find the date of bis arrival in this country was a bar to deportaiton. Tho polico claim to have located tho headquarters of the foreign anarchists in the Italian quarters and aro contem plating a raid that will cleanse tho place before the fleet arrives. Kill Off Anarchist Papers. Trenton, N. J., March 20, A bill was introduced in the house today mak ing it a misdemeanor to publish anar chist newspapers. The bill is aimed at a Paterson paper recently oxcluded irom the mails. HELD FOR MURDER. Formal Charge Filed Against Slayer of Stevens. San Francisco, March 27. In. "Whan Chang and Ming Wun Chun, tho Co rean patriots who elected to kill Dur ham W. Stevens for what they believed to be treoohory to tho Hormlt Kingdom, woro this morning charged with mur dor. They muBt faco trial for their deed in tho courts of this city. Held in dotention pending the struggle for life which tho couragoous diplomat made, tho two men woro charged ou tho police blotter as soon as news of tho ond was conveyed to police headquar ters. In Whan Chang, tho Corean who fired tho shots which proved fatal to Stovens, when informed laBt night at tho jail of his victim's death, re ceived the news without surprise and with manifest dolight. Since tho day of the shooting Chang has been ex pressing the hopo that Stevens' wounds might prove fatal. Last night, when asked if he was sorry for what ho had done, Chang said: "No; I am glad. He was no friend of Corea, and he is better dead." There is a movement on foot among the Japanese to erect a monument to Stevens. Japanese commenced going about among their fellow countrymen this morning broaching the idea and suggesting that subscriptions be forth coming. The proposition is still in the tentative stage, but, judging from the feeling the Japansese show toward the dtad American, there will be no difficulty' in bringing it to accomplish ment. "Whether the monument shall bo erected in this city, in Tokio or in Seoul, the theater of Stevens' services to Japan, has not yet been decided. CITY ROBBED WHOLESALE. Immense Frauds Discovered in Chi cago Water Department. Chicago, March 27. An amazing system of robbery and graft, involving city employes and big business firms, and extending back through several years, has been discovered in the water department. Two employes, including a division head, were removed, and 38 eubordinate employes will be dis charged. Some of them may be in dicted. Through tampering with meters and the connivance of city employes, seve ral large corporations have defrauded the city of hundreds of thouEands of dollars in water taxes. City employes have sold meters to junk dealers and bartered materials for drinkB in saloons. Supplies never used by'the city were purchased ostensibly for tne water .de partment and then used by plumbers in private bneineese. The payrolls were padded with idlers and incompetents. The force, which originally numbered 200 men, was re duced by Superintendent W. J. Mc Court, of the water bureau, to 50. TROOPS ORDERED OUT. Striking; Alaska Miners May Destro Property. Seattle, Wash., March 27. Troops have been ordered from Fort Seward, at Haines, Alaska, to preserve order at the Treadwell mines, on Douglass island, where 800 miners have gone on a strike. The troops are due to arrive at Treadwell early tomorrow morning, and serious trouble i& anticipated.

Colonel Green, in command of one company of the Tenth infantry, left Haines tonight with a gatling gun, and should reach the mines at an early hour this morning. The other companies stationed at Fort Seward have been or dered to be in readinesB to reinforce the first company if needed. Just before his departure for Juneau at 9 o'clock last night, Marshal Shoup received a messaee from his chief depu ty that no serious disturbances have oc curred, but trouble oi a serious nature is anticipated when the troops are land ed on the island in the morning. Claims Rights in Senate. Ran Francisco, March 27.

Myron Wolfe, who has withheld from the company a certificate authoriz ing it to transact fire and marine insur ance business in thiB state.

No stato. through 1U) ollicors or itscourts, can enforce a rate law passed by Its legislature pending tne ueitiu merit of tho law's constitutionality by tho Federal courts, when direct appeal is rniulo to tho latter. 2. Tho rato laws of two r-Uites havo been wiped out completely and uery other state in tho union that has enact ed rato legislation is in doubt as to whether Its luw Is valid. 3.
