A Good Beginning.

One of the arguments against, the
esta blishment of a state board of con-
troll in Minnesota was that such a
board, always intent upon saving a
penny, would sacrifice efficiency to
cheapness Prudent economy some
times errs on the side of stinginess,
and the board may have made errors
of that kind, but it's action in raising
the salaries Of the nurses at the insane
hospital Is not one of them. Formerly,
these salaries We're rigidly prescribed
by law, but now the board has secured
the authority to adjust the payroll Of
it's institutions, except the, salaries of
superintendent. It has used this
authority so as to pay according to
service as much as that is possible
within the limits of the appropriations.
The board has been able to add 10
per cent to the salaries of nurses but
even with the increase their pay is all
too small. The public is always ready
to believe reports of cruelty and abuse
of inmates emanating from state insti-
buttons, and too often, there is some
ground for such reports, but who is re-
sponsible when nurses are so poorly
paid that most Of them remain. in the
hospital less than year? Certainly

Shore Acres has returned to the Bijou
this week, the company being practically
the same that presented the old play at

''Shore Acres is one of the earliest of

granted. This fact, however, apparently
detracts not a whit from it's popularity,
for the Bijou audience was so large last
night that it drove the orchestra under
the stage, seats being placed inside the or
chestra rail to accommodate late. corners.
Moreover, the audience was well pleased
with both play and players.
Both Mr.. Galloway as Uncle Nat and
Mr.. Lawrence as Martin Berry have had
an experience of several seasons in their
respective roles. The Galloway Uncle Ma t

JUDGE EsTEE'S FRIENDS PRES
ENT IN LARGE NUMBER-wELLl
KNOWN PEOPLE DEPART.

The departure of the s. S. Alameda,
for San Francisco this morning was an
event of more than usual interest. The
wharf was crowded with people to see
the vessel get away. The band was in
attendance. Particular interest was
given the departure of the vessel, by
the fact that United States District
Judge Morris NJ. Estee and wife were
returning to California on a visit.
Judge Estee has not been to the
Mainland since he came here three
years ago, to preside over the local
United States court. Many friends and

and others boarded the tug Fearless
and escorted the Alameda out of the
harbor. The Fearless was decorated
in honor o the occasion. The bark

WAS SAFE
HER CAPTAIN AND OFFICERS TESTIFY THAT SHE HAD
POWER AND APPARATUS TO SAVE HERSELF-AS a
RESULT OF HER TROUBLES THE LONDON OWNERS
MAY SELL HER HERE.

According to the captain and other
officers of the steamer Clavering, whose
dispositions are being taken in the
United States court by Commissioner
Douthitt, the big steamer was in a po-
sition to easily save herself, when she
was pulled from the reef off Honolulu
harbor The hearing was continued
all this morning. The steamer, il is
said, may be sold here, authorization
have been received from London to sell
her. The owners, it is said, would
rather sell her if they can get a rea-
sonable figure here, than engage in eX-
pensive litigation over her troubles.
Captain Barton testified that he had
on board all necessary apparatus to

reef. If left without any assistance, he
declared, the vessel would soon have
been saved by the use of her own pow
er. While on the reef she bumped a
little bit, but he did not think she
was in much peril.
First officer Davis and Second Off
Ger Morris also testified. They thought
that the steamer could have saved her
self and Norris said that she did not
do any humping, but lay quietly where
she was. He didn't think she was in
danger of serious injury if not pulled
off at once.
The hearing is being continued this
afternoon.
