FIRE CLAIMS coMMIss1oN.
Matters Heard Today and the With
drawal of Two Claims.

At the session OF the Fire Claims
Commission this morning to hear
the claims OF the Insurance Com
panies, the five remaining and I'M
heard Hawaiian claims we're first
taken up The claim of Jno. H..
Wilson was deferred for a future
date, the claimant not being in the
country now. Two were heard and
disposed OF, one of them being for
destruction in the incendiary portion
of Aala district
Au incident occurred when the
other two claims we're called up,
that OF Ana Kekahuna, widow, who
appeared in person for herself, and
that Of her late husband Kalepe.
once captain Of the foundered
steamer Eva and well-known Pesrl
Harbor pilot. The former was for
1874 10 and the latter for $lS63 40
as corrected by clerk Riggs. She
was called up and before being
sworp, she asked the Commission
for permission to withdraw both
claim. For her own claim, she did
not care to push it, as well as that
OF her late husband in which was
included the effects of her two
daughters by former marriage.
While doing 30, one Of her daugh.
ters came into the courtrooms ~ d
informed Attorney Nakookoo that
she would like to make claim for
herself upon her late step-rather's
claim. This brought things to q
standstill for a while, wherein the
mother persistent ly in listed that che
did not care TO go on with that
claim, nor her daughters who did
not care to at first make claim, but
that her late husband did it OF his
own accord for them, who has since
died and did not leave any estate
nor has there been any application
made for Administration. She was
finally allowed to withdraw her own
claim, but that OF her late husband
was deferred for further considera
ton.
After the above disposition were
made, the Commission took up the
insurance claims, the hearing still
going on this afternoon and which
may continue for several days yet
according to outlook.

Under MT. Clevelands Democratic ad- ministration no such spectacle as that furnished by the recent Alabama Repub- lican Convention which nominated State ticket. was possible It was well under stood and during a part of that time President Roosevelt was a member of the Civil Service Commission. that Federal officeholders could not manipulate con- ventions, nor go over the country making stump speeches. During neither of MT Cleveland's administrations were Democratic Federal officers delegates to State and County Conventions. not one of them put in appearance at a State Convention except as a locker on.
 At Birmingham there was a regular ofiiceholders gathering and in spite of laws which Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt was prompt to aid in enforcing but about which President Roosevelt seems to care very little. There would be very small Republican party in Ala bama if 1t were not for the Federal of fees.
