Fire Award Decision.

! Judge Gear yesterday rendered a de-
{ cision granting the application for a
writ of mandamus and compelling the
Fire Commissioners to amend the GER
tificates of certain fire claimants. The
parties bringing the suit were the Lon
don, Liverpool & Globe Insurance Co.
and Sing Chan Co., but the decision in
wolves many similar cases, and if sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court will add
about $4,000 to the total of fire awards.
All the claims of the insurance COM
panies amounting to about $4,000 were
disallowed by the Fire Court and also
charged against the claimants, making
double that amount to be taxed against
the Territory.

ton should not have any consideration
in future legislation.
W. Q. Smith had Loebenstein admit
that the leases were sold at public auc-
ton, that the leases had a reservation
that the government could take them
for agricultural purposes and that they
had forest reservation clause. Loeb
enstein was mixed up a bit when he
tried to explain his statement that the
land was worth more than it fetched
when the lease was at auction. He said
the corporations would refuse to handle
cane, but he said if cut up the home
steader could make home. He said
also that the corporations controlled
the transportation and made it impos-
sible for the small farmer to ship his
produce.

ing that 1900 acres were taken out of
the center of the So 900 tract and put UP
at auction and the lease sold to Eben
Low. Parker also wanted to know
about other lands, and it became a sort
of general talk instead of testimony
taking. Mr.. Boyd said also that he
would be pleased to ask if ]. f. Brown,
his predecessor, could be heard and
that he would be present in the morn

Judge Gear appeared to explain that

Court
DR.. c. B. Wood was called and asked
how many people We're placed in quar-
antine and how long they were kept at
public expense. Senator Burton explain
ed that he referred to the camps prin-
cipally and Dr. Wood said the people
were taken to camps as rapidly as ac-
commodations were prepared. He said
at least 1900 people We're in quarantine
in camps. The quarantine period was
ten days but owing to suspicious cir
cumstances this was heightened to fif-
teen days. He also explained the sys-
tenn and said that he thought the 1900
tween twenty and thirty days With
regard to the expenditures vouchers
were taken for everything and Senator
Burton wanted to know if a detailed
statement could be prepared without
much trouble. He said also that there
was no extravaganza, that every detail
was carefully watched, that the en-
ployes worked day and night and did
all that they could.

that there was finance committee and
Judge Humphreys butted in again,
bringing out the fact that there was no
law of which DR.. Wood was cognizant,
under which the appointment was
made. Humphreys asked about cham

he insisted that he gave no orders for
such things. The blanket matter was
aired and also the taking away of Levy
from the hotel.
a. B. Loebenstein appeared again to
say that the values placed on crown
lands were underestimated. He said
that in many cases lands were leased
at low rentals which were desirable for
homesteads. In North Kohala, Kahei,

ury, Bureau of Navigation, under date
of March LIST, 1901. The investigation as
to the condition of the Puerto Ricans
and their treatment upon arrival here
was made and reported by Mr.. J. K,
Brown, o. S. immigration Inspector TO
the Honorable w. Powderly, Commits
sioner General of immigration, under
date of June ], 1901. This latter report
was sent in reply to the Bureaus letter,
No. 26637, dated March 90, 1901. Both
the reports above mentioned proved
conclusively that the rumors and news
paper reports had been grossly exag
gerated. That there was no blame at
tached to the planters or their repre-
sentatives, the condition of the laborers
being the result of the conditions eX
listing in Puerto Rico prior to their de-
parture from that country, and not
result of bad treatment en- route or up
on arrival. These reports refute the
statement of Judge Humphreys.
Plantation Medical Attendance.-The
doctors resident in these islands, like
doctors in every other part of the
! world, depend for their practice on the
| residents in their vicinity. No state
ment has been maze by the Planters
Associa ton to the effect that the plan
| tation retained the exclusive services
of medical men; all that has been said
was that they furnished free medical
attendance to their laborers. The doc
tors in the country, wherever they IAN
get the appointment, act as Government
physicians, plantation doctors and pri-
vate practitioners.
The attempt to prove that the benefits
derived by the plantations, from the
fact that their doctors are sometimes
Government physicians, amount - the
| taxpayer paying half the cost of the
medical attendance of the laborer, does
not need further comment.
PORTUGUESE.
| Mr. Vivas stated before the Commits
| sion that nearly all the public lands
We're taken up by plantations, and that
| there was no show for a poor man. In
reply to this it may be said that efforts
have been frequently made to get Por-
| tuguese to take up land and to secure
planting contracts, but with very few
| exceptions these efforts have been I'M
successful, the majority of Portuguese
preferring to work for day wages to the
taking of any risk connected with the
raising of crop for market. Should
| the Portuguese desire to take up con-
| tracts for the planting of cane, it may
with confidence be stated that plenty
of opportunities will be given to them
to do SO, as they are highly thought OF
and are considered desirable element
of our laboring population. Further
more, if it could be arranged to promote
| the immigration of Portuguese from the
| Azores or Madeira into these Islands,
the planters would receive them gladly
and pay them wages considerably in
excess of what they could earn in their
| own country, or arrange with them Tor

Mr. Smith as well sent in two other
papers, one dealing with the acquisition
of lands by corporations. He showed
| that 1000 acres would permit of the
cropping of about 300 acres, which he
said was too little to make dividends
possible. He urged that the section be
repealed or that it might be made tC
refer to public lands alone. He also
submitted a statement of the cost OF
producing sugar which gave the prices
at most of the plantations and showed
that the cost ranges from 1854 ton al
Kilauea and Kohala to $S6.42 at EVA
In addition to these papers Mr.. Smith
presented to the Commission long
memorial from Hawaiian citizens. The
paper recites the fact that the sugar
industry is the principal one of the is
lands, that there must be for its pros
ecution plentiful supply of unskilled
labor and that the same is true to a
great degree of the rice industry, from
which the Hawaiians derive such reve-
nue. from land rentals.
After setting forth these facts forci-
bly, the petition asks that the Congress
pass such laws as will permit the entry
of Chinese workmen for the fields and
as well for domestic service. There is
also a tariff on coffee desired. The
petition is signed by David Kawanana-
koa and contains the names of some of
the best known Hawaiian citizens.
Curtis P. Iaukea appeared to make a
statement. He prefaced it by saying
he had waited expecting some one to
present certain features of the political
situation. The electorate is largely Ha-
waiian, he said, and after annexation
it was expected that there would be a
change but this was not so for the same
monarchical system was continued. To
his mind county and municipal govern
ment furnished the solution, as the peo-
pie would not be satisfied with any
thing less than the dissolution of the
present monarchical system.
Answering Senator Burton he said he
thought the people capable of exercis-
ing the elective franchise and govern
ing themselves as we'll as the people of
any Territory.
He said also that he believed it was
wise to permit restricted Chinese i'm
migration for field labor. He said there
were sufficient Japanese laborers in the
country to furnish labor, but they
would not work on plantations. Asked
as to the crown lands he said the rev.
enue was always considered the prop
erty of the monarch.
E. s. Boyd was recalled and testified
as to the expenses and receipts Of the
Land Commissioners office, submitting
detailed statements. He explained that
the surveying of public lands was in
separate department and amounted to
about $4,000 a year. He showed ex-

"ANARCHISTIC."

A contemporary which has earned an
unenyiable reputation by presenting
alleged arguments based upon mis-
statements OF the position taken by
other papers, has been making war up
on the City Council for its action, In
urging the Chief of Police to execute
the city ordinance which forblds the
sale of lntoxicants on Sundays. II has
also endeavored to dstort the remarks
which have been male made IN support
OF that action by the council. For the
benefit OF that contemporary We VIII
here repeat, that the City Council has
not endeavored TO "assume the func-
tions" OF the Chief OF Police, but has
simply instructed that officer TO do his
duty, and II he fails, TO report the rea-
son to the council. The peseret News
has not eontended that the City Coun-
ell should step one inch outside of the
line OF It's authority as defined by the
laws OF the State. There is nothing in
what the council has done, or what the
"News" has supported, that is an In
fringement Of any ones rights or Is In
any degree dangerous to the public.
On the contrary, obstacles thrown In
the way OF the enforcement of law, and
encouragement given to lis defiant vlo-
iators, are dangerous TO the general
welfare and "anarchistic' in their ten
denoIea.

DR.. George Dorsey Of the Field CO.
lumbar museum, Chicago, has made a
discovery in his Investigations among
the Hopi Indians that overturns many
OF the old theories OF anthropologists In
regard to supposed inscriptions on the
adobe houses Of the tribe. In lecture
to the students OF the University of
Chicago he announced that these In
scrlptions that the anthropologists
have been trying TO declpher and read
for years. have been found TO be moth.

mIschlevous Hopl children in the mud
Of the adobe houses after they had

turned out to be simply bill stump,

FAKE PICTURES,

a great many people have sustained
serious losses through the postpone
ment Of the coronation OF King Ed
ward. Among these is a moving pic
ture concern, that was too previous in
Its arrangements.
According to a story that comes from
Paris, the concern In question, instead
OF waiting to make the photographs on
the day of the coronation, reproduced
coronation OF It's own and caused that
to be photographed, Models were care
fully made OF portions Of the Abbey,
decorated and furnished, and an exact
copy OF the coronation chair was pro-
cured, while band OF "supers' were
dressed with great attention to detail
in the uniforms and robes that would
be worn. Care was taken to get people
about the same size az those who would
take part In the coronation, and they
were made up TO represent the differ
emit characters. After a number Of re-
hearsals the pictures were taken, and
the photographers were then ready to
furnish moving pictures OF the King
taking the oath, the browning Of their
majestles and so on.
The house was under contract TO ex-
hibit its pictures In several places, and
now the expenses are wasted, The pub
lie win perhaps not feel much sympa-
thy with concern that went 10 the
trouble Of getting up lot Of fake pic
lures for its benefit. But the question
is suggested, how many other shows OF
that kind are true representations Of
facts? How many fake exhibitions
does the public spend money and time
on every day.
The king will be crowned later on.
The ceremony viii probably be quiet
and Of more private nature than at
first intended. But viii this prevent
the concern IN question from exhibit
ing its forged views as true TO life?
Probably not.

WASHINGTON AND ROME,
Independence Beige.

The recent dispatch to Rome of an
American mission headed by Judge
Taft, governor OF the Philippines, has
led the Pope to contemplate the pos
sibility Of the establishment Of a Unit.
ed States legation at the Holy See.
This attitude OF the Vatican
Is not calculated TO surprise us. The
church has always been severe with
the weak and concillatory with the
powerful. She understands that the
Latin peoples are threatened with de-
cadence, that she can no longer rely
upon the unreserved support Of France.
and she desires 20 go TO the Anglo
Saxon races whose influence will pre-
dominate tomorrow. But II is certain
that the Anglo-Saxons will not let the
church play among them the part she
played among the Latin people For
this reason the Vatlean's influence in
general politics VIII be more and more
nugatory, more and more insignificant.
When the last Latin peoples have sue
cumbed in the race struggle, the church
will be a dead force,

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

Naturally the business men Of CHI
cago are anxious TO do all in their
power 10 settle the strike Of the freight
handlers. for as long as they are on a
strike, business IL seriously handI-
capped. The men demand an increase
of wages, extra pay for overtime aud
work on holidays, and the recognition
of the union, The employers II, ap-
pears. refuse to submit the case to ar
bitration, but II is claimed that they
are about TO post notices stating the
concessions they are willing TO make.
and that these will be satisfactory to
the men.
This would seem to be equivalent to
an admission that the demands of the
employees are lust, at least TO some ex-
tent. and II is therefore pertinent to
ask why these demands were not con-
sidered In the first place, before the
men and the public were made 10 suffer
the losses incidental to strike, The
fact that such a strike could commence
without an effort at Cancellation. is suf-
Hclent proof OF the need Of legal regu-
latlons for the guidance of the conduct
OF both parties. in their relations Of en-
ployers and employees. II strike Is
justified at all, It is only as lAt re-
course when all other means OF set
Element have been tried In vain.
Were only the parties to the dispute
concerned, there would be no need Of
legal rules for a settlement. But under
the industrial conditions now prevail
ing. the general public Is as much in
terested as the parties directly In
voved, and for that reason II should be
insisted upon the efforts at arbitration
must preeede the strike, and that work
must not be suspended while the ar
bitration proceedings are pending
II is to be hoped that the Chicago
strike will be settled speedily. Prob
ably the wages Of the men are too low,
considering the prevailing high prices
and the good business conditions. The
teamsters OF the packers obtained an
increase, and naturally other freight
handlers and Transfers are hopeful Of
success. too. Public opinion win sup
port them in their reasonable demands,
and the roads may as well look at the
facts and accept them as they are, The
laboring classes certainly are entitled
to fair share Of the prosperity they
are helping to create with their daily,
faithful toll.
