where the woman resided. Very soon he
and Nettie Carter began to quarrel over
the attentions the latter is said TO have
received from other men.
The inmates on ;he second floor were
suddenly startled by the report of pistol
shot. Following this there was the sound
of crash as if some heavy body had

Ruling of the City Solicitor
IN Regard to Insur-
ance Law.
QUESTION OF ISSUING LICENSE
superintendent Of Insurance Desired to
Know What Action He Was Expected
to Take Under the New Code of the
District.

Mr. Thomas L. Drake, Superintendent OF
insurance. recently requested the District
commissioners to obtain from the City So
hcitor an opinion on section e52 of the
cooe OF law of the District respecting its
application TO insurance companies char
'ered by Congress or under the laws of the
District. His object in requesting such
opinion, he said, was to determine whether
me Superintendent of Insurance could
license local company which was in ex-
istence prior 10 the enactment of the law
creating the department Of insurance with
out nrst making an official examination of
such company or companies.
Mr.. Arthur O'Connor. Assistant City So
hcitor, has forwarded to the Commission
ers an opinion upon the matter, which has
been approved by City Solicitor Duyall, in
which he says:
Il have duly considered the question re-
specting the application of section 652 OF
the code TO Insurance companies that are
chartered by Congress or under District
laws. Section 652 Of the code provides
that II shall be the duty of the Superin-
tendent of Insurance TO ascertain whether
the capital required by Law or the charter
OF each insurance company or association
organized under the laws of the District
has actually been paid up in cash. Ii fur
Their provides that the president of such
company or association shall make a de-
ciaration under oath.
Duty in the Premises.
ut appears to me that the proper ques-
ton TO be determined is not so much the
power of the Superintendent 20 issue a
license without an examination as what
is his duty in the premises. The duties
prescribed in section 652 Of the code ap-
pear to be entirely independent OF the
annual statements required from all in
surance companies doing business in the
District. and apart from the duties of the
Superintendent of Insurance in making
his annual report as required by section
Col of the code. While section 652 dots
not prescribe the time when the Super
tendent of Insurance is 10 ascertain the
facts specified in that section, the perform
ance Of the duties therein prescribed would
seem 10 be more important in connection
with the application for the license than
at any other time.
ut is, therefore. his duty. OH ap-
plication being made by a local COM
pany for a license, to make the exam
ination REQUIRED by section 6o2 before is
suing a license. whether such local COM
pany was in existence prior 10 the enact-
ment OF the law creating the insurance
department or not"

Russian Liquor Reform.

George Kennsn in The Outlook.
The attempt made by tho Rus
sian government to. break up the
saloon habit and lessen the temp
tation to drink by forceing con-
sumers to buy their vodka in
sealed packages and take it home,
instead of drinking it on the prem
isss must be regarded, l think, as
. failure The peasants do not
take their "meno-polka" home-
they drink 1t in the streets. Or
fclal and unofficial reports from
all parts of European Russia agree
in stating that the most noticeable
results of the establishment Of the
government monopoly is the great
and alarming increase of street
drunkenness and disorder. A
peasant now buys = bottle Of
vodka, carries it away, and drink.
himself into = state of helpless or
quarrelsoms intoxication, perhaps
in the open street, within hund
I'D yards Of the Cover nmsnt shop.
Members of the Mimi. .Novgorod
city council who have recently
made a study of this disgusting
feature sf the reform, report that
an over whslming majority of
consumers in that city drink their
vodka in the open streets; that
this often results in disorder,
fighting, robbery Of women and
tho tempting Of boys to drink by
groups of intoxicated peasants,
that police have to withdraw from
other partso + the city ia order to
strengthen the force in tho vicin.
ity of tho government shops; and
that the city hospltals are over
crowded ~ a result of taking in
peasants who have become Ill from
exposure to cold or rain while ly-
ing dead drunk out of doors. Re-
ports Of similar character have
csms from the provinces of Ufa,
Moscow, Tsmbof, Pultavs, Wat.
ka, Sarstof and Riazan.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-10-10

The death of Emile Zola the French
novelist, removes the leader of a true
school of thought. Like all men of
forceful character and reforming mind
lola made bitter enemies. His aim was
realism, and was totally opposed to
romanticism. His books have had a
powerful effect upon the world of Eu-
rope and the United States. Among
writers of English he has had many
imitators, but never an equal. Apart
from his books lola made an historical
niche for himself by his vigorous de-
Tense of Dreyfus, when such action
was regarded as almost a crime. There
is a hint in the kilograms that lola
committed suicide. This is probably
untrue, but it is the kind of thing
which was likely to be circulate by
his enemies who are not likely to leave
him in peace, even in his grave.

Cholera has a strong hold in the
Philippines. The disease amounts to
serious epidemic. There are many
causes leading to this. In the first
place like all plans where the Spaniard
has had control the cities are dirty and
have an accumulation of the filth of
years. Even in so fine a climate as
Buonos Ayres, whose name signifies
healthy condition, the city became so
filthy that epidemic after epidemic
swept the place. Then the water sup
ply in many parts of the Philippines is
contaminated by decaying vegetation.
Lastly the inhabitants suffer from
panic. In all cholera epidemics panic
plays a strong part. 1t either actually
kills, or it predisposes to catching the
disease. Under these circumstances
the American authorities have their
hands full
