son, A. G. M, Robertson, Whiting,
Clemens, Humphreys and Light
foot.
The claim under hearing is that
.of the Yee Wo Chan Company,
which was awarded SI5,Q8I, the
award having been subrogatcd to
the Transatlantic Insurance Com
pany and the Hamburg Bremen
Company. The former company
claims $500 OF the award and the
latter S7,343, on account OF having
paid policies covering the losses for
which the Gee Wo Chan Company
was given the award. Robertson
appeared for the insurance com
Danies and Dunno, Whiting and
Humphreys for the Chinese firm.
+. W. Macfarlane, chairman, and
J. NJ. Riggs, clerk, of the fire claims
commission, were in attendance as
witnesses.

will be the first settlement of the le-
gality of the numerous "subrogated
awards made by the claims com
mission.

ANOTHER SCANDAL

back for five years or so, to find
out.
The embezzlements are supposed
to have begun when Boyd was CHIEF
clerk in the office, under Land
Commissioner Brown. At that time,
it is stated, the chief clerk, as the
one to receive funds, took various
sums and the deficiencies were hid
den by utilizing recent payments to
make the cash entries seem to bal
ance. 1t is stated that there was a
shortage of over $1,000 when
Brown left the office. At that time
the Home Rule senate refused to
confirm Brown for land commits
sioner and Boyd was appointed by
Governor Dole, being practically
the choice of the Senate. He is a
brother of Ex-Superintendent Of
Public Works Boyd.
According to the theory OF those
who have been investigating, the
peculations continued under Boyd.
Commissioner Boyd in his state
ments to the officials this morning
admitted that he had drawn money,
but claimed that each time he did so
he replaced it. Mahaulu in his state
ments appeared to lay the matter
ON Boyd.
Attorney General Andrews is IN
possession of number of |. O. \. 5
bearing the signature OF L. S. Boyd
also some of his private bills re-
ceipted, which it is claimed were
paid out of government money in
the land office Mahaulu this morn
ing admitted having paid such bills
and caShed such |. O. US.
The books of the land office have
been exported time and time again
since the reported entertainments
began and senate committees have
investigated the department. The
results of the investigations have
been repeated reports in favor OF ar
/ improvement in the system OF book
! keeping, but none of the investigat,
ors dicovered the shortage. 1t is
stated that the shortages were hid.

had mistaken the rendezvous and
gone to the Hackfeld wharf and

but the second detachment was on
hand to play as the Siberia came up
to the wharf.
The members OF the commission
lost no time in getting ashore. The
party, accompanied by Mr.. Fergu-
son and Captain Hartmann, left the
vessel and, under the guidance Of
the local entertainment committee,
went to the street cars for the pur-
pose of taking a ride about the city.
Luncheon was served to the party
at the Moana Hotel a few minutes
after noon.
After the luncheon the visitors
went to the Oahu Railway station
to make a trip to Eva, special

OF
THE DOWAGER

The Empress DOwager's picture
is aboard the S. S. Siberia bound
for the exposition at St. Louis,
where the likeness is to be placed
on exhibit. The picture is some
thing remarkable. 1t has the fam
Gus. picture of the Vicar of Wake
fields family beaten block. The
Wears picture was only too big to
be gotten into the house, while the
Empress picture is almost too big
to get into the hold Of the ship.
The space occupied by the pic
ture and its various trapping and
finishingS is exactly S35 cubic feet.
There is a pedestal on which the
picture is to rest. The weight Of
this pedestal is over s tons. The
picture is life size showing her
Majesty in her royal robes Of state.
1t is an oil painting and is the work
of a foreign lady in Pekin. The
picture is said to be a fine likeness.
After the painting had been COM
pleted and was ready for shipment
the event was made the OCCASION
for a great demonstration in Pekin
and all along the line. The picture
could not be dehled by the touch of
prOfane hands. 1t was sent in a
special train from Pekin to Shang-
hal. In fact the officers Of the
Siberia, declare that a railroad was
specially built to convey the picture
to Shanghai. A dozen mandarinS
OF high rank acted as escort to the
likeness.
From Shanghai, the picture was
conveyed by boat down 10 Woo
sung where the S. S. Siberia was
lying. The loading of the picture
and the various parts OF the con-
signment was an important affair.
The marine Superintendent of the
Chinese Merchants Steam Naviga-
ton Company, Thomas Weir, had
special charge OF the shipment. The
gaily dressed mandarins were
aboard the Siberia and small boats,
watching the stuff being taken
aboard The picture and rest OF
the consignment was placed in one
OF the forward holds.
A special escort was sent with the
picture, His Excellency Shen
Nang Hoo the former governor Of
the Tung Chow circuit Of China, is
the special emissary of Her Males
lty,He will accompany the picture to
St. Louis and remain indefinitely.
He is accompanied by his interprc-
ter Chun Chin Tung. The picture
and the entire outfit cost a large
sum. is insured for $4,000 gold.
The emissary is worth SII,oOO,ooo
and is one OF the most influential
men OF China. He is director in
the Chinese Merchant Steam Navi-
cation Company.

THE CHICAGO DRUG SCANDAL.

There is apparently a determined movement on foot to punish the sell Ing of impure drugs in Chicago, and all friends of humanity hope that 1t will not only be successful in that city but that it will extend to the punish ment of those everywhere who are guilty of manufacturing and selling im- pure and fraudulent drugs or medi- cines of any description. In Chicago a the druggists to be filled and The Chi cago Journal gives this result:
 Out of one hundred and thirty-nine druggists. only thirty-one furnished the pure drug. nine prescriptions had ty per cent impure, sixty-six were eighty per cent impure, and tw euty- three prescriptions had no trace of the real drug at all
 Now 1t is not charged that these druggists knowingly and wilfully filled this test prescription with fraudulent probable, for 1t is hard to otherwise account for the statement that nine of them put up a preparation without any trace of the real drug" The de- fence offered by the druggists is that they were deceived by the manufac- turers, and that defence is a sound one, on general principles It is claimed by some that the druggists could have as- certained whether or not the drugs were pure by applying proper chemi- cal tests before using or selling them, but this seems to be taking an extreme view of their duty. If a druggist in Montgomery, for example. purchases a bill of drugs from a wholesale dealer or manufacturer whom he considers re- liable, must he test each and every article to see if it is just what it pur- ports to be?
 That, we repeat. would be placing a somewhat onerous burden on the drug gist and pharmacist but if the Chicago test is a fair example of what is going on. 1t would seem that the time is fast approaching when the honest and con sctentious druggist will have to subject every article he has to a critical test before offering it for sale.

Partisan newspapers" said George Stovall. young quartermaster clerk of the army, who is visiting relatives in Montgomery, have wholly misrep- resented Maior-General Leonard Wood to the public. havSrg made 1t appear that General Woo d poor sort of an officer and was pr ted to his present rank by reason o. the close personal esteem in which he Is held by Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 "The fact is General Leonard Wood is one of the most energetic, one of the most hard working, and one of the most popular officers of his high rank in the entire army I spent three years in the Philippines and I had good op- portunity during the latter part of my stay there to study General Wood. His executive ability Is remarkable, and he Is a master of detail. He is not a poseur His duties claim all of his time and he Is never on parade or in the newspapers. The men all love him and rely on him confidently.
 Yes. indeed, General Wood Is more than an ordinary doctor, raised to high rank in the army. It was his good for tune to be the intimate friend and phy- sician of President Mckinley and the Colonel of MT. Roosevelt's Rough Riders. but these opportunities merely afforded him a chance to display his great abilities"
