War IN LIFE INSURANCE

New York. Dec. 2S.-The Herald
says:
There is a strong possibility of war
between the great life insurance com
panics with the beginning of the new
year. The rebate compact" which eX-
listed between and which served to bind
them together in community of in
torest has terminated and has been
followed by the abrogation of the
agreement between the New York
Life and the Equitable Life under
which the same agents acted for both
companies within certain territory.
The Equitable took the first step in
the sundering of relations by with
drawing from the rebate contract.
The other companies were obliged to
follow its example. The Equitable
gave as one of the reasons for break
ing the rebate understanding that
certain Western States might look
upon il in the light of trust and that
it did not wish to incur the hostility
of the authorities.
The New York Life soon afterward
received notice from the Equitable that
one of the Equitables agents, who had
been acting also for the New York Life
in foreign country would do so no
longer. The New York Life thereupon
decided to put an end to the second
agreement and has so informed the
Equitable officers.
John Mccall, president of the New
York Life, dictated the following
statement in regard to the matter last
night:
1.-THE rebate compact which existed
between all the companies was prac-
tically rendered imperative by the
Withdrawal of the Equitable Il short
tImo ago. One of the reasons given
was that any compact between com
panies might be construed as viola
ton of the laws Of some States. \ few
weeks ago one of the foreign mana
gers of the Equitable informed our
agency department that an agreement
as to the employment of agents enter
ed into several years ago was terminal
ed as far as his territory was con-
ccrncd.
"On receipt Of this last notice we
thought the time had arrived to ter
inmate the remainder of the agree
ment and start the new year without
compact of any kind in force.
There is no hostility on our part
toward the Equitable They We're hon
orable competitors.
we shall do as we please about our
business and they are free to do as
they please about their business"
In spite Of Mr.. McCalls pacific atti-
tude there IL belief among insur-
ance men that war may be precipitated
between the companies at any time.
As they control in the aggregate hum
dreds of millions of capital. the contest
will be titanic should it once begin.

torial position granted possessions of
the United States is not open to ques-
ton.
A son of the man who played very
important If not controlling part in es-
tablishing organized government in
the Islands, educated in leading
American university, Mr., Judd was 10
the manor born and reared. It must
ever be pleasant thought to him and
those who follow him that he has prac-
tically carried to its completion the
work which the father began and now
finds its fulfllment in the absorption
of the Islands by the country on whose
principles our legal system was estab-
lished.
Mr.. Judd has stood steadfastly by
his post through chain of events that
have tested the full capacity of the
men in whose hands rested the liberty
of the people. Criticism has been
sharp. men have disagreed, as they are
prone to do, but at no time during his
long publ, career has the personal in
tegrity or honesty of purpose of Chief
Justice Judd been questioned.
Mr. JuddG home life is ideal. AS II
man of affairs he is universally re-
spected. In the life of the church he
has been an ever aggressive motive
power The blessings of life have been
ganted to him and his most estimable
wife with liberal hand and not the
least of these is a family of sons and
daughters who are representative of
the highest type of Hawaiian Ameri-
can manhood and wOmanhood. In lay
ing aside the arduous and veXatious
labors of public life. Chief Justice Judd
Is rather to be envied than condoned.
III health has caused his withdrawal
from official life. but he has a good
number of active years yet before him
and any man acquainted with Mr..
Judd knows that these will not be
years of inactivity or of Indifference
toward the welfare of the community
in which he has so long held position
of honor and respect.

From the silence of the Independent
government controlled press regarding
the resignation of Chief Justice Judd,
il might be supposed that the official

the important questions that necessar~

the silence is enforced by mandates OF
the political aspirauts hopeful of max
ing deal in connection with the new

"Of course Mr. Hartwell did not
make the remark" is the profound
manner in which the organ of the
Happy Family deals with Unofficial
Delegate Hartwcll's unfortunate state
ment that Hawaii Is not annexed.
Forthwith the paper controlled by the
local government proceeds to reiterate
the statement made by Mr. Hartwell
that Congress through the Newlands
Resolution extended only portions of
the American constitution to Hawaii
This local response is merely rcitcra-
ton OF the opposition which the local
official faction has constantly offered

CHIEF JUSTICE JUDI.

The resignation of a. f. Judd, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Ha-
wall. marks the close of an official
career that has been very potent fac
tor in the progress of these Islands
For over twenty-five years MI Judd
has held important positions in the

seen the country develop from weak

well organized territory whose right

The meeting of medical men this

plague situation. In crisis like the

with Indifference and it is reasonable
TO believe that there will be no uncer-

The bulletin today publishes series
of interviews secured by Associate Edi-
tor Logan during his stay in Washing
ton. No reports returned by political
commissioners have been more to the
point as showing the personal views of
prominent friends of Hawaii. Mr.. Lo-
gan gives clear and unbiased facts,
which are what the people want. The
letters were delayed in the mails but are
none the less appropriate to the stu
alton from the fact that Mr. Logan is
now on hand to take up his newspaper
duties.

THE FUTURE CHIEF JUSTICE.

Now that the resignation of chief
Justice Judd has been finally made
public. the question arises. why has the
fact been so long withheld from the
public? Whether the letter of rcsigna
ton was in the hands of local authori-
ties previous to or at the time of the
Bulletins statement several weeks ago
IS neither here nor there. but we doubt
IL any official is prepared to deny that
the decision Of Mr.. Judd to resign was
known to them at that time.
Was the controlling influence during
these days of silence, the fact that Mr..
Dole. having foregonc aspirations for
the governorship. is being played by
his small circle of political friends as
candidate for the Chief Justice of the
| Territory. This conclusion is easily
drawn from the known movements of
Delegate Hartwel and his friend Smith
| in Washington.
BE this rs it may, We are confident
President Mckinley will not use snap
judgment nor listen only to one side Of
the controversy in reaching a final de-
cisOn. Mr.. Dole has very wisely re-
fcIrcd the question to the President
| and ii is not impossible, in view Of the
probable delay in the enactment of the
| territorial bill and the immediate ne
| ccssity of relieving the chaotic condi-
dOns of the court, that the President
will authorize Mr. Dole to make an APP
pointment which shall hold until the
time Of final reorganization.
Whatever the decision of Washing
ton authorities, there Is but one man
to whom Mr.. Dole should look to fill
this important position. Mr.. Dole took
Henry Il. Cooper from the bench to
Oil a vacancy in the Cabinet caused by
the appointment of Mr.. Hatch as Ha-
waiian Minister 10 Washington. Mr..
COOper's preference was for the bench
and his career in that capacity was
such as to inspire public confidence in
ment to the Supreme Bench in event of
vacancy arising. II was only after
strong pressure from those in control
that Mr.. Cooper reliquished his judi
cial position to assume the duties
of Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was
regarded as the only available man and
in answer to that plea accepted the
proffered portfolio.
As member of Mr. DOle'S Cabinet
Mr., Cooper has done his work faith
fully. He has been loyal to his chief |
and loyal to tho highest principles OF !
American citizenship. Though subject |
to covert attacks on account of his |
strict adherence to these principles he |
has never been found weak kneed nor
has fierce antagonism caused him to
dnty.
swerve from the path u.
Mr.. Cooper has proved his ablii'S 10
q jurist, and has proved his mdepeh-
dent and loyal American character, u !
consideration that should not be slight
ed at this period when Hawaii is enter
ingupona broad American career. 1.-THE
Chief Justice Is to be citizen of Ha-
wall, If the President leaves the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Judd's successor to
Mr.. Dole, there is but one man for the
local Chief Executive to call to the po-
sltion and that is Minister II. f. Coop
er.

The marble heart with which Mr..
Dole's friends turn down Minister
COoper's work as President of the
Board of Health tells the story of the
criticism offered by the self-styled in
dependent press. What is the cause
of the personal spite of the govern
ment organs towards Mr.. Cooper?

A PIRATES GIFT.

In little grave yard at Henniker,
New Hamphire, there is stone to
mark the resting place Of Mary, wife
of Thomas Wallace, who died in 1914
at the age ninety-four. There is moth
ing about the simple monument to
cause the stranger to glance at it Sc
cond time, and he is sure to pass
quickly on, unless the old sexton or
some kindly native tells him the story
of Mary Wallace.
In July, 1920, an Irishman, James
Wilson, and his young wife sailed from
Londonderry to join colony of the
same name in New Hampshire. But
the vessel was slow, and one day it
was ovcrhauled by pirate slip. Re-
sistance would have been madness, and
the pirate crew swarmed over the side,
tied up every man they could find, and
seized what little of value the ship
contained
The captain of the buccaneers led
the way to tie cabin. In small adj
Joining stateroom Mrs. Wilson lay in
her berth.
"Why are you here?" demanded the
captain.
For answer the woman uncovered
the face of tiny babe.
The captains manner changed.
"Is it a boy or girl? he asked, in a
low voice.
"A girl
"Have you christened herr
"No."
"Then," said he very gently, "let
me name her, and will unbind your
men and leave your ship unharmed
and unrobbed. 1t shall be good
name. May 1 name the girl!'
eyes"
There were tears in the rough cap
tain's eyes as he took the baby's tiny
hand and whispered, "Mary," adding
some other words, which Mrs. Wilson
did not hear. Then he and his men
returned to their ship.
Soon, however, the captain returned
alone, bringing roll of beautiful silk,
which he laid on the berth at little
Mary's side.
"Let her wear this on her wedding
day." he said, and was gone before Mrs.
Wilson could thank him.
"Ocean Mary" as she was called,
was married in I74O to Thomas Wal
lace. She wore the pirates silk at
the wedding, as her daughters did af-
ter her at theirs.

STRIKING n MATCH.

The truth of the saying that little
things may oftentimes play an impor-
tant part to mems affairs when the
men least expect 1t was illustrated one
day recently.
"See that young man over there
remarked an insurance friend of his,
pointing to one of his clerks working
away industriously at a desk in an
other room. "Well, he got his place
in my office through the striking of a
match, although he doesn't know it.

this building about month ago wait
ing for friend to come down the ele-
vator, when that young man approach
ed me with letter of recommends
tion and an application for employ
ment. | had made it known few
few days before that l needed another
clerk, and he had heard of it. How
ever, | had almost made up my mind
to take on a young man who had been
to see me the day before and was about
to tell the last applicant so, when he
pulled match from one of his pock-
cts to light cigar he had been smok
ing, but which had gone out.
.'Sorry, sir he said, balancing him
self on one foot, while he lifted the 9TH
er so as to admit of his striking the
match on the heel of bis shoe. Sorry,
for l would like very much to work
for you, and l think l would have
made you good clerk.
"The match striking incident made
me think so too. Right at the young
mans elbow was great Italian mar
bic column upon which were the marks
showing where many matches had
been struck 10y vandals too utterly in
different to the rights of others to re-
frain from indelibly stamping their
vandalism upon property to restore
which would have cost hundreds of
dollars. 1t would have been the most
natural thing in the world for many a
man to have scratched that match on
the marble column, and the fact that
this young man chose to use the heel
of his shoe instead showed that he was
thoughtful and conscientious, two very
excellent traits. | was so impressed

The Triscornia railway, six miles
long, built around Havana by the war
department, is an excellent example.
The construction account of the IT'S
cornia railway is as pretty piece OF
bookkeeping as one ever need TO ask
for. 1t balances to cent. Yet this SIX
miles of badly constructed and abso-
lutely useless railway which wouldn't

Under officials of the treasury de-
partment declare that Otis accounts
covering disbursements in the Philip
pines are the most wonderful vouchers
ever presented in that department.
Millions of dollars are accounted for in
terms so vague and general as to abb
solutely defy analysis. There is moth
ing to show whether money has been
expended properly or stolen outright.
The regulations of the army relative
to the expenditure of public funds are
of the most specific and all-embracing
character. They call for itemized ac-
counts down to the smallest amount.
Therefore it leaves wide open the pre-
sumption that where millions are spent
and no items furnished, the accounts
will not bear close and rigid scrutiny.

The Cause OF Free Silver.
A CAMPAIGN TRICK.
Business to Be Given a Temporary
Impetus by Increase in
Bank Bills.

The question of the increase in ma
tional bank circulation, as a result OF
the new currency law, is of interest to
the public. There is every reason to
expect that it will affect interest
rates, and New York bankers are fig
uring tnat there will be less call upon
them for funds for the moving of
western crops.
William c. Cornwall, president of
the City national bank of Buffalo, n.
Y, and one of the prominent bankers
of that state, has prepared an esti-
mate of the probable increase of cur
rency. His figures, the New York
Commercial says, are based upon re-
ports received from all sections of the
country in answer to letters which he
sent to officers of national banks. Ac-
cording to these figures there will be
an immediate increase, including the
increase already made, of $4,000 900.
To this he expects $40 100000 to be
added within one year to the circula-
ton of banks already existing, MAX
ing a total of approximately O,OO0,-

to a fair level will, in his opinion,
bring about a further increase of more
than $22,0O0,O0O, making a total in
crease of approximately $112,000,O0O
in the circulation of banks which
were in existence before the passage
of the recent currency law. Many
new banks are being organized and
more will be established. Many state
and private banks are being convert
ed into national banks in order to en-
able these institutions to have the
benefits of the national banking laws.
Mr.. Cornwall estimates the new banks
to be established and the state and
private banks being converted into ma
tional banks will take out total of
$10,OOO,COO, which would give a total
increase, approximately of $122,O00,-
600. Of the new circulation the ma
tionaI banks of New York are expect
ed to take out So S,SO3025, Pennsylvania
banks increase circulation by more
than $1,000, 900, the banks of Illinois
by more than $5,000,O0O, of Ohio by
more than So, 500, 900, and of Missouri
more than $2,7OO,OOO. The national
banks of each of the states of Con-
necticut, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Indiana, Minnesota
and Nebraska are expected to in
crease their circulation by more than
81 900, 900.
Thus the country is to be flooded
with a paper currency of less utility
than United States treasury notes be-
cause it is not legal tender 1t also
lacks the feature of fleXibility which
is so desirable, and which would be Sc:
cured by the free coinage of silver and
gold. This increase will give a
temporary impetus to business, how
ever, and encourage speculation. How
much it will benefit the solid inter-
ests of the country remains to be
seen.-Illinois State Register.
