OPENS A FIGHT.
Superintendent of Insurance
Church After Under
ground System.

Superintendent W. V. Church of the
Kansas insurance department has de-
clared war on the system of under
ground insurance in Kansas and will
prosecute it vigorously until this method
of doing business has been stopped.
At points along the state line has the
practice been more general, Kansas
City, Mo-, securing the bulk of the busi-
ness which legally belongs to Kansas
agencies.
The last legislature passed what is
known as the thinner law
This law provides that persons who
hold policies of insurance in companies
not authorized to do business in the
state of Kansas shall pay to the depart
ment of insurance a 10 per cent prem
ium which is in the nature of a penalty.
The law provides that the insurance
superintendent may demand from any
business institution an exhibit of all
policies of insurance and if unauthOr-
lied business is there displayed the
superintendent is empowered to enforce
the payment of the 10 per cent prem
ium.
Mr. Church has sent to Thomas Page,
the North Topeka miller. demand for
an exhibit of his policies of insurance.
Under the law Mr.. Page is required to
exhibit his policies to the department
of insurance. Should Mr.. Page decline
to respond to the demand from Mr..
Church then the superintendent will
bring a suit to compel him to do so.
Mr.. Church feels that the companies
which pay the fees and taxes to the de-
partment of insurance and come into
the state in a legal and regular manner
are entitled to the business of the state.
The system of underground insurance
has been a menace to the legitimate
business for years and Mr.. Church pro-
poses to put an end to it. He will in
woke the aid of the state legal depart
ment and make an unrelenting cam
paign against it.
In Kansas City, Kan. thousands of
dollars are taken from the state
through this underground system. The
millions of dollars worth of packing
house, smelter and manufacturing prop
erty, to a large extent at least, is han
died by Kansas City, Mo-. insurance
agencies The properties are located in
Kansas. Missouri gets the benefit of
the business while Kansas insurance
men lose money on their investments
and the state loses fees which the COM
panies should be required to pay.

HEALTH MONEY REQUESTED
MIR. COOPER ASKS GOVERNMENT
FOR 1920, 900.
President Dole Will Call Council OF
State to Consider Matter-How the
Cash Will be Spent

President Cooper of the Board of
Health, will this afternoon submit a
letter to President Dole asking for
money to carry out improvements in
the infected district recommended by
the commission yesterday.
The amount to be asked for is $780,
900, exclusive of a sum to complete the
sewerage system at the earlst possi-
BILE date. Three hundred thousand dol
lars will be more like the sum required.
This is a big sum, but the Board of
Health feels that it is needed. Follow
ing are the heads under which the cash
will be spent:
Filtration plant for Nuuanu valley,
100000.
Garbage crematory, $4,000.
Public improvements in the infected
district $4,000.
An appropriation sufficient to COM
plete the sewerage system at the earli-
est possible date on the lines mapped
out by Mr. Herring, no amount stated.
President Dole will call the Council of
State together early next week to take
action on the matter Mr.. Cooper stat
ed there was no legal mpediment in the
way of the Council acting after the eX-
piration of the fiscal period, which is
December 81.
1t will be observed that the big item
is for a filtration plant. Mr. Herring
prepared plans for this some time ago.
The Board has adopted the plans and
there is nothing in the way of begin
ming work, save the money. Physicians
are unanimous in the opinion that the
plant is of immediate necessity.
The extra money for sewerage will be
used for connecting houses with the
street mains and putting in proper
sinks. 1t is believed that with enough
money available this can be done with
J in six months.

ANOTHER CLEAN RECORD
NO CASES OF PLAGUE FOUND
TODAY.
Chinatown Settled Down to the Rou-
tine of Quarantine-No Trouble Save
the Talk Of Agitators.

Lieutenant Gonsalves, c, is officer of
the day in Chinatown this afternoon
Sergt. w. G. Weldon has charge of the
guard house. Guards are provided with
rubber coats and are making out very
well. In the outside districts they have
to stand for six hours in the rain, which
is very disagreeable. During the heavy
down pour at midnight it was very
dark and guard duty was exceedingly
difficult. On Kukui street especially
the guards walked their beats in two
inches of mud
There have been no efforts today to
run the quarantine. Some Chinese, es-
pecially leaders of the See Yup Society,
are doing some loud talking. but their
following is waning. The Japanese are
thoroughly loyal to the methods of the
Board of Health and will not make
trouble. 1t is stated that the men who
tried to escape from quarantine are all
round trouble makers of the japanese
colony and that the others are not in
sympathy with them. The Japanese
have organized a corps of inspectors
and cleansing gang under their ply
sicians, which is doing excellent work.
A report of the work of the military
in Chinatown has been submitted to the
Board of Health. 1t gives in detail the
amount of inspecting, guard duty and
number of arrestG made.
Every needy person in the quaran-
tined district is supplied with food. AL
most everyone draws food, however,
those not actually in distress consider
ing themselves injured by the quaran-
tine to the extent of supplies. Applica-
tions are received at a. m. and p. m
Supplies are delivered from wagons
most of the day.
A Japanese woman, apparently very
sick. was taken in hand by the mill.
| tary this morning and her case report
ed to the Board of Health. Upon inves
! tigation it was found that she was al
opium user and was suffering from
want of it. The drug was provided.

HOLDING ON 70 THE WRECK
IROQUOIS AND LEHUA KEEP HER
OFF THE REEF.
They Have Dropped Anchors and are
Waiting for Better Weather-The
Carson Close to Shore.

The wreck of the William Carson is
still being held off the reef by the tug
Iroquois and the Wilder steamship Lee
hua. Both steamers are lying at an
chor, waiting for the weather to mode
rate before they make any attempt to
move the overturned vessel to a place
where the effort to set her right can he
made. The Carson is close in shore, a
considerable distance this side of Wal
kiki.
The wreck of the William Carson was
very nearly in the same place this
morning as last night. At four o'clock
yesterday afternoon the tug Iroquois
took the place of the Eleu. The Lehua
remained out and with the Iroqucis
kept the Carson off the reef all night.
This morning the two steamers were
anchored, holding the wreck against a
heavy wind and current that We're
drawing them towards Waikiki Mo-
deration OF the weather was the only
thing to be hoped for to give a chance
of saving the vessel. She was very
close in shore this side of Waikiki and
only very slight gain on the steamers,
very short dragging of their anchors,
would have landed her on. the reef at
any time since midnight
The wreck could be very plainly seen
through glasses from the high lookout
at the pilot house this morning The
| four yards arms stuck out of the water
Just the same as yesterday but the
Carson was so nltch closer in that now
and then her PROSTATE hull could be
| seen as waves washed over it and left
| 1t higher. 1t was evident that only a
| short time would be required to sink
| her where she was if the weather con-
! tinued rough. Clouds of spray broke
high into the air over the hull and it
| would have been no surprise if at any
| moment they had battered away

IS A SUBMERGED PLATEAU
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY MADE
OFF MOLOKAI.
Captain Sass Sounds and Charts Shoals
Twelve by Thirty Miles Extending
Southwest From Molokai.

The existence, character and extent
of hitherto unknown shoals to the
southwest of Molokai have just been
made public by Captain John NJ. Sass,
who, in the gasoline schooner Malolo
spent several months this year in
sounding them. The shoals extend from
the west end of Molo5ai almost due
southeast for little over thirty miles,
with a pretty uniform width of twelve
miles. The general depth is from % to
3S fathoms, the depth being surprising
ly uniform and the bottom a very fine
gray coral sand. affording secure an
chorage. Captain Sass says that any
where to the southwest of Lac ka
Laau, the southwest point of Molokai,
for thirty miles and over an area twelve
miles wide vessels, from any conditions
needing it, can find a safe and secure
anchorage.
Until Captain Sass began making his
soundngs, the only soundings shown in
this region on the photographic charts
were few Immediately to the west Of
Molokai showing SS and 80 fathoms, ana
a few about twenty miles to the south
west of Molokai made by H. NJ. S. Pen
guin in August, 1896, showing 2S, 80 and
33 fathoms. Captain Sass in his inves-
legations in regard to the fishing possi-
bilties of this region discovered the
continuous shoal that exists in this To-
cality and determined its boundaries
and character. Immediately to the west
of Moloka for three or four miles the
depth is from so to 80 fathoms and the
bottom is a coarse sand mixed with
shells and coral rock. the latter in
places in large masses and of a char
acter to interfere with good anchorage
or fishing by means of lines. A little
| further to the southwest the soundings
begin to show shallow water SO, SO ana
| "a fathoms till the soundings made by
| the Penguin are reached. Still further
| to the southwest soundings of %, %, 26
| and q fathoms are found and then the
soundings abruptly drop down to 14O.
262 and 267 fathoms.
| These shoals seem to be the. top of a
! submarine plateau, a continuation un-
| der water of the Island of Molokat.
! Captain Sass thinks they may 9have
! been partly formed, or at least the
| termined by the fact that the tides and
| side of Molokai form an eddy here
which in the course of ages has Deposit
ed the fine gray coral sand
! Along the sOutheastery boundary Of
| these shoals the soundings drop down
abruptly from 90 fathoms to over 200;
along the southwesterly boundary from
- and 26 to 40 and over; and along the
| northwesterly from &c and 90 to 260 and
over
The waters covering these shoals
swarm with fish But they also swarm
with sharks. Hooks and lines dropped
anywhere bring up fish, but the second
or third throws begin to bring up only
fish heads the sharks swapping off the
bodies of the fish as they are drawn up
on the lines.

AMORITA AT THE ORPHEUAf.

Czibulkas sprightly little comedy op-
era was sung into favor last night.
Music, in Amorita, does not entirely US
urp dialogue and the dramatic possi-
bilities We're taken due advantage of by
the Lyrics principals. Miss Stanton
played with her usual Vivacity and re-
ceived well deserved encores, notably
in her solo in the last act and her duet
with Mr.. Rockwell Mr.. Rockwell gave
a clever rendition of Bombasdo and Nj.
Halam of Angelo while Kunkel kept
the house in a roar with the eccentrici-
ties of CastruCci. Van Dyne helped
along the humor as PatriCco and all
went merry as a marriage bell" This
afternoon and tonight Amorita is re-
peated and with it's witty dialogue and
dainty music should prove a good Sat
urday night bill.
