They make much of the sugar for

nations in the cultivation of rice and

by these religious pioneers in the Ha-

Nowhere else have more successful re-
suits been attained, not only in Chris
tianizing but in civilizing a savage peo-
pie. The city of Honolulu is full of
what might be called monument to
the ability. as well as tact, of this
mission band.
Realizing that religion and education
went hand in hand, they first trans
lated the familiar spelling book of the
little red schoo1houseD into the dia-

after their occupation OF Hawaii they

Another echo Of the Chinatown fire ia

certain insurance companies for losses
sustained by them through the plague

bill was referred to the committee on
Pacific Islands and as far as known
was never reported back to the Senate
The measure was intended to repay
to half dozen Insurance companies
the losses they had incurred in the
Chinatown FIRE, amounting to $4,000
and which the Territory of Hawaii
through the Board OF Fire Commission
ers had declined to pay. The compa-
MES interested in the proposed iegisla-
ton are the North German Fire In
surance Co, Hamburg Bremen Fire
Insurance Co, North British and Mer-
cantile. New Zealand TRANSATLANTIC,
Royal. Firemens Fund and the Lon-
don, Liverpool and Globe. These are
the companies which after the big fire
paid their losses. Other insurance
companies representing the bulk of
the claims refused to do SO. their poll
cies having clause which protected
them from losses due to the action Of
the civil authorities. The fire court
took The ground that the companies
were not entitled to repayment for
their losses, as the money paid by them
was on policies for which the insured
had been paying premiums for many
years. In other words the court held
that the companies had a,sbusiness con-
tract with the, holders of the policies
and were compelled to carry it out, and
also that the act IF the legislature
contemplated only the payment for
losses actually incurred by the claim.

The insurance companies claim that
they are entitled 20 be paid for their
losses as much as the poorest property
owner, who lost his all in the fire. They
argue that the corporations simply as
suFned the claims of their policy hold
ers in paying the Insurance., and We're
entitled TO recover. The fire court
overruled them, however, refusing to
pay the insurance claims. although aft
erwards dedueting the insurance PAID
to the nelder of other claims, from the
amount allowed by the court as actual
losses. The companies were also de-
feated in their appeal to the Hawaiian
Supreme Court and it was then decided
to appeal to Congress for repayment OF
the alleged losses by the Chinatown
fire. Nothing is known of the status
OF the bill upon the adjournment OF
Congress.
