POOR WERE ROBBED
OF A HALF MILLION
Police Estimate as to the Amount of
Money Handled by the Frank
lin Syndicate.

NEW YORK. Dec. Investigation Of
Miller's Franklin Syndicate shows that
the total amount Of money that passed
through it's hands barely reached $500. 600
This is shown by the checkbooks contain
ing the dividend checks that were TO be
made on November %. the day after Mil
lers flight. There were Sl66 of these
dividend checks, representing a total
amount Of t5e.2s 70
The interest paid being 10 per cent per
week, 100000 in round figures was all that
Miller could positively have got away
with. Even this sum must greatly exceed
the real profits of the syndicate, since a
large number Of depositors have left their
principal in the hands OF the syndicate
more than ten weeks, and the sum-
therefore. had been repaid in the weekly
dividends

Hale'S Cable Bill
Probably Successful

New York. Dec. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
The naval project for Pacific cable
connecting San Francisco, Honolulu,
Guam and the Philippines gives great
er promise of practicability Than other
plans suggested to Congress Tor facili-
tating commercial and military COM
munication i'm that ocean, and the bill
embodying its features and aIthoriz-
ing its construction and maintenance.
which has been introduced by Sena-
tor Hale, is likely to become law.
The only cable surveys OF route
across the Pacific have been made by
the navy and they have enabled the
naval authorities to count the cost of
the enterprise and it's feasibility with
confident accuracy. The army scheme
for a cable to remain always a mill
tary line has been planned wholly on
theoretical considerations.
The private cable companies which
have been rivals in seeking Govern
ment aid have made no surveys and
their projects have savored strongly
of speculation at Government expense.
The principal private company asks
Congress to give Ii charter and guar
antee subsidy of 100000 annually
for twenty years. During that period
it offers to carry Government messages
free and thereafter will charge the
Government one-half commercial
rates. Under this plan the Govern
ment would pay out $500 00J and in
the end the company would have the
cable and could sell IL 10 England.
Germany, Russia or Japan.
The naval project calls for a 100000

BOARD OF HEAL1 MONEY.

Still the wranglers over the Board
of Health money question have failed
to touch upon facts that will enable the
public to draw definite conclusions. If
a detail of what the Health Bureau
asked for could be obtained and COM
what was needed, it would doubtless be
shown that the Boards original esti-
mate was cut down by the Cabinet, and
later reduced TO some extent by the
Legislature. The documents showing
the Boards original estimates are said
to be among w. o. Smiths private pa
pers and cannot be obtained. II Is not
likely the Advertiser will make dill
gent search for them. since its whole
campaign has been, not to establish
facts, but to condemn the officials. 1t
is known, however, that the Board
asked for a garbage crematory and
failed to get it. Provision was also
asked for a crematory In connection
with the cemeteries. This was not
granted
As to the legal authority OF the
Board to condemn property, the public
knows that every board end bureau is
controlled from and by the Executive.
Had the proposition to improve China
town by opening up passageways APP
pealed to Mr.. Dole at any time during
the past two years he could have ac-
complished the work. The govern
ment organs are baslng their whole
campaign on after thoughts, with the
result that they are giving free rein
90 criticism of certain officialsc whom
they dislike to give credit. The Star
has always had knife out for DR.. Day,
and the Advertiser is not disposed to
allow Minister Cooper to receive ere
dit for anything since 1t apparently
supposes that such action might assist
Mr.. Cooper in worthy ambitions.
The public is unanimous in its sup
port of the members of the Board for
their prompt and vigorous action Of
the past week. Every member has
been prompted by broad minded. hon
est motives and highest regard for
the puDiic welfare and the Board has
done its work to complete public sat
isfaction. The attempt to cast dis
credit upon present action, by discred-
iting the work of the past demon
strates the motives that prompt the
critics. Discussion to secure better ad-
ministration Of any department is tc
be commended. Captious criticism al
a period when assistance should bs
rendered on every hand, accomplishes
nothing for public good.
II the Government organs will reat

day Volcano, they will lind that they
