manifested by the delegates in the re-
port Of the committee on pensions and
II was generally believed that the con-
vention would take some very radical
bearing on that subject
The ommander-in-chief, Leo Ras-
sieur devoted large part Of his annual
address to the matter Of pensions.
Without any effort he said, ION the
part Of the organization or its officers
to give the pension problem any UNI
due prominence, that subject has over
Swallowed all others and has called for
more attention and thought in the past
year than all other questions which
concern u.s."
He criticised the administration of
the pension bureau and demanded tine
honest and fair administration OF laws
which are already on the statute
books" Continuing he said:
III an officers lawlessness, reckless
ness and holiness go to such extreme
length as to lead him to override and

WRECK Of A FINE STEAMER
AND ORIENTAL'S S
SOBRAON.
Had Large Number of Passengers
But 1t is Believed All Were Saved.
A Lioht Cargo.

FOOCHOW, 1928 p. m. April 26-The
2. and y. steamer Sobraon. with mails
and passengers from Shanghai went as
hore on the rocks at Tungyung island
ouung a uense Iog after O'CLOCK ON
Wednesday morning.
Twenty three, including five passen-
gers, with the mails, arrived yesterday
evening at Sharp Peak after a voyage
of 35 hours in a Chinese junk.
If the wind rises it is feared that the
vessel will become a total wreck.
A telegram from the captain OF the
Sobraon to the agents of the owners
says:
Passengers safely landed on the ISL
and One native boat with mails and
some passengers left for Matsu on the
morning of the oath April. Crew still on
board All we'll" This is the boat
which has since arrived at Sharp Peak
with the first news of the disaster.
When she arrived there sne reported
that the SObraon had gone ashore on
the Western end of Tungyung island,
which is about 40 miles from Sharp
Peak. The other passengers were to
leave the wreck in junks after her and
made for Sharp Peak or FOochow. OF
the five passengers who came up in the
boat two were ladies who remained be-
hind at Sharp Peak while the others
went on to FOochow with the mails.
When they left the wreck there were
Is feet of water in the Sobraon's fore
hold, but she was holding well together
thought better to remain safe by the
heavy blow would end in her breaking
up.
1t is presumed that as the weather did

The fire claims commission held an

the hearing of claims, but may finish
its preliminary work tomorrow. 1t will
the hearing of claims begins, as the
commissioners will announce a date
some time ahead and advertise 1t so
that all claimants may be informed be-
fore the courts sessions begin, and all
may start even.
This mornings meeting was devoted
to consideration of forms in which
claims shall be made. The commission
is having some difficulty in preparing
a suitable form of application, for re-
lief, and is being assisted by the Bar
Association in making up the form.
This morning Attorney Paul Neumann
was with the committee, giving assis-
tance in drawing up the form. Only
sworn claims will be received, it is stat
ed, and the commission will arrange for
presentation of claims in such shape as
to insure little loss of time by the in
PRODUCTION of a claim not worth listen

SAY IT WAS ONLY THE ITCH
PORTO RICANs DENY EXISTENCE
OF SMALL POX.
Claim it Was Simple Malady of
Which There is Plenty Where they
Came From.

WAIMEA, Kauai, May 10.-The Porto
Rican victim of the smallpox has al
most completely recovered and it is ex-
pected he will be back at work in the
canefields in a few days. At no time
did he suffer as 1t was but a very mild
attack.
Some of the Porto Ricans claim IL is
not smallpox, but a sickness they have
in their country every year, and known
as Porto Rican Itch. Even If 1t is Porto
Rfcan Itch it looks too much like small
pox and the lbeople of Waimea don't
want II even n the mildest form. No
other cases have appeared, and it is
not likely there will.
Seriously Ill at the Waimea hospital
lies the Spanish luna who arrived with
the Porto Ricans of the Kekaha planta-
tion. The man became dangerously i'll
on Monday, and today his case is so
critical that DR.. Sandow has no hopes
for his recovery.
Kekaha Plantation 1t is said will lose
a very worthy luna in his death. He
was doing good work with the Porto
Ricans there.

DOU'S WEN ACCEPTED
ATTORNEY GENERALS IDEA OF
SIGNING LAWS.
Supreme Justices Will Act Upon 1t
And Hold Terms as the New Law
Provides.

The Supreme Justices appear to agree
fully with the opinion rendered by At
torney- General Dole as to the right of
the governor to sign acts after the le
gislature adjourned sine die. Act 22,
end of the legislature, furnishes a test
without being appealed, for it happens
to deal with Supreme Court matters,
and the justices are going to act upon
its provisions.
The old law provided for terms of the
Supreme Court each year on the third
Mondays I'm March, June, September
and December. The law just signed
says. The Supreme Court shall hold
one term annually, commencing on the
first Monday in October and such ad-
journed and special terms as it may find
necessary for the dispatch of business
The law is to take effect on the first
of August, so that there is another term
to be held yet under the old law. This
will begin on the third Monday of next
month. After that term the Supreme
court will go under the new schedule
and its next term will begin on the
first Monday in October.
Act % appears to give the public the
benefit of q supreme court decision
without a case being sent up for trial,
for, from the nature of the law, the
justices have to decide for themselves
whether it goes into effect or not.
Justice Perry said today that the Su-
preme Court would begin holding it's
terms according to the new law as soon
as the time set in the law itsel. arrived.

AT THE THEATRE.

Tonight the opera house will be

Miss Stanton on this, her last appear-
ance "The Fencing Master" by De
Koven, will be given. This opera was
originally produced in New York nine
years ago with Marie Tempest in the
chief role. The tale is told in three
acts, placed in Milan and Venice, and
relates the adventures of a young Girl.
Francesca, whose father, a fencing
master, has educated her as a boy, in
cluuIng fencing among her accomplish
ments. She is in love, of course, with
a man who thinks her boy and loves
another woman. Intrigues of court, a
bankrupt duke, band of bravos, reg
uarly organized as a stock company,
find the comedy and work out the plot
to a happy ending. De Koven music as
ever, has many charming numbers. the
waltz quintet of the first act, the solos
of "The Nightingale and the Rose -
every Knight Must Have star" In
the second, with the Will-o' the Wlsp
song in the third being usually found
the most popular.

CHARGES THE GRAND JURY
WHAT JUDGE HUMPHREYS SAID
ABOUT BRIBERY.
Very Conservative In Statements to
gislators Indicted of Vindicated.

The special grand jury summoned to
investigate the charges of bribery
against members of the Legislature met
in the court of the First Circuit Judge
at 10 o'clock this morning to receive it's
charge. AS was to be expected, per-
haps, the room was filled with attorneys
and spectators. At the appointed hour
the following took their seats in the
jury box: A. V. Gear, John f. Colburn
Fred w. Wundenberg, John u. Holt,
lr., j. c. Cohen, George E. Smithies, ]
O. Carter, Samuel b. Dwight, E. b.
Mikalemi, c. H. Cooke, William Allen,
e. c. Macfarlane, Frank Harvey, c. II.
Brown, DIR. George Huddy, w. r.. Chill
ton, j. G. Quinn, N. Fernandez, H. NJ.
Whitney, Jr, Oliver Stillman, e. c.
Rowe, l.. John McCabe and Hugh Nc
Intyre.
w. c. Wilder was excused on ply
sieian's certificate of i'll health.
DR.. Huddy, N. Fernandez, and w. r.
Chiffon were excused on the ground
that they were in business for their
respective selves and that the same
would suffer by their absence.
Louis John McCabe was excused be-
cause he is a school teacher and unable
to leave his school.
III. NJ. Whitney Jr., L. c. Rowe and
Frank Harvey were excused for reasons
presented privately to the court.
r. Wundenberg was excused on ac-
count of being associated with the law
firm of Magoon and Thompson.
The jury then consisted of fifteen
members.
Judge Humphreys charge which was
entirely eXtemporaneous, was very con-
servative. 1t was clear, and at the
same time couched in eloquent terms.
He said it had not been the intention of
the court to empanel a grand jury at
this session, but owing to important
matters that had come up, particularly
one jury had become necessary.
The court then went into the details
of the duties of grand jury.
Continuing, Judge Humphreys said
the special matter to which he wished
to call attention was certain charges
affecting the integrity of members of
the late legislature. At least two daily
papers of the city had charged bribery,
This was a very grave charge and If
true was a menace to society and the
countrys best interests. Each case
should be carefully looked into and If
guilty parties are found they should be
forthwith indicted. Not only had the
newspapers made charges of bribery,
but these charges had been common
/ street talk and had been recognized by
hisSh official authority. The jury wa'
! instructed to summon witnesses and t
get at the bottom of the whole mat
| ter.
! Joseph o. Carter was appointed fore
man of the jury. In making the ap.
pointment the court said: And l wisl
to say that / consider it a distinguished
| honor to preside over a court with Mr.
! Carter as foreman of its grand jury.
/ Charles Hopkins was delegated bal
lift, and the Jury retired.
