NEW YORK LlFE'S HAWAIIAN
LICENSE MAY BE ANlNULLED

The New York Life Insurance Com
rany will be investigated by the Ter
ritory of Hawaii. On the strength of
certain facts laid before Insurance
Commissioner and Territorial Treas
| urer A J. Campbell in behalf of a cli-
ent a rigid examination into the COM
pany,s methods of doing business has
been instituted by both the Attorney
| General and the Treasurer.
The assurance was given yesterday
on the highest authority that the New
York Life's license in Hawaii would be
revoked in case allegations now made
are proved to be true.
Though the officials in whose hands
the matter now is are 10th to talk, the
following have been ascertained to be
the facts in the main.
A client of the Hawaiian Trust Com
pany solicited loan from the New
York Life and offered his insurance
policy as security.
This application and the policy were
forwarded to the New York office for
approval The request for a loan was
granted but the policy was not ac-
cepted, though of long standing, and
a new policy was issued in lieu of it.
The old policy was cancelled without
its holders consent, it is alleged, and
he was practically forced to accept
policy which he considered less favor
able
The Hawaiian Trust Company as the
policy holders agent protested, but its
protest was to no avail.
In view of this alleged breach OF
contract the Trust Company, through
Mr.. j. r. Gait, appealed to the Terri |
torial Government laying the facts be-
fore it and requesting some action to
protect its client.
Territorial Treasurer Campbell, ex
officio Insurance Commissioner, took /
the matter up and referred it to the
Attorney Generals department for an
oninion as to his powers in the case.
Yesterday afternoon the Attorney
General rendered an opinion stating
that by law the Insurance Commission
or had the right to conduct search
ing investigation into the company
affairs with view to ascertaining
,.be+bar the rights and securities of
the policy holders were being con-
served.
The action of the Treasurer is still
n allowance. "I can only say that a
written complaint has been received at
.bis office" said Treasurer Campbell
yesterday. "and that I am investigat- L I
ng it. What action I shall take is

still undecided 1t depends on what /
find to be the exact facts"
Acting Attorney General E. c. Peters
refused to state anything further than
that his office had been consulted in the
matter and was engaged in looking up
the law on the subject.
One of the highest officers of the
Territory made the following plain un-
official statement:
"The charges brought against the
New York Life Insurance Company are
such as to demand instant investiga-
ton. They may be unfounded. They
may be based on false conceptions.
''If true, the New York Life has vio-
lated fundamental law, that of the
obligation of contracts. No company
will be allowed to play fast and loose
with any citizen of this Territory. A
rigid investigation will be instituted
and if the company is guilty, the In
surance Commissioner has full power
to revoke it's license to do business on
these islands"
Mr.. J. r. Gait of the Hawaiian Trust
Company refused to make any state
ment whatever except that in any such
proceedings the Trust Company act
ed merely as an agent.

KOREANS TO HAvE
INSTRUCTION HERE

For some time past the Koreans
have busted themselves in contributing
to fund for educating the young peo-
pie of their colony and have accumu-
lated about $4,000 Rev J. w. wad-
man, pastor of the Methodist church,
who has been establishing churches at
or near various plantations and send
ing Korean missionaries to every
sugar estate where Koreans are en-
ployed, is active in getting a school
established in Honolulu
Mr.. Wadman goes on the theory that
by giving the Koreans the means to
educate their young, they would be
content to stay here and it would be
an incentive to more Koreans to come
to the islands to engage in plantation
work.

tute, which has been conducted for

of young men, and in order that they

SHALL HONOLULU HAVE
A JUTE BAG FACTORY? !?

the bags cost only half they do at
present.
Those who have looked into the mat
ter are of the opinion that very little
capital will be required to install the
machinery for such plant in Honolu-
lu The raw material could be brought
here from India, and employment could
be found for about 500 persons, although
this number would not be constantly
employed.
From the philanthropic standpoint it
is believed that the establishment OF
a jute bag manufactory would relieve
the pressure from those who are con-
tinually called upon for funds to aid
persons out of work. There are many
men in the community, out of work
with no funds to go to the plantations
or other islands to seek 1t. A Jute
bag mandatory would supply them
with a few days labor, at least, giving
them funds on which to live until they
could get regular or better employment.

EMERSON TABLET
BY ST. GAUDEAS

An interesting memorial service was
held last Sunday at the waialua
church. The occasion was the unveil-
ing of the bronze tablet which has been
placed on a boulder lying on the Emer-
son burial lot near the churchyard. A
good congregation of both Hawaiians
and foreigners resident in the district
was present, together with the members
of the Emerson family. A sermon,
which drew much of it's illustra ton
from the lives of Father and Mother
Emerson, was preached by Rev. o. p.
Emerson. After the close of the ser
vices held in the church. the congrega-
ton filed out to the grave and wit
messed the unveiIing of the tablet. DIR.
Emerson delivered an address. Mr..
Mahaulu, a deacon of the church and
an old retainer of the Emerson house.
hold, made q response; the choir sang
and Rev Keliipio, the pastor, offered
prayer and the simple service was
over.
The tablet, which is set into the face
of an sunhevn boulder and firmly riv-
eted to 1t, and which bears in corner
of it the initials of Augustus and
Louis St Gaudens as IT'S designers,
tells the parentage, birth and death OF
Rev. John s. and Ursula Sophia Newell
Emerson and the fact that the Waia-
Ira Mission was established by them.
and that there, from the year 1882 till
the end with a brief absence of four
years spent at Lahainaluna Seminary,
they lived and labored for their below
I'd Hawaiian people.

ELECTRICITY BATTLES THIEVES

Ramifications of the Burglar Alarm
 Have Been Extended to Include Even Orchard.
 Some distance from New York there is farm which is run entirely by elec- tricity. The owner has set up q complete electric plant, and this produces the current for lighting, heating, as well as for supplying the power for other operations connected with the farm The farm land obtains it's electric power from a large stream on which are two falls, only sixty and the other one hundred and fifty feet high
 The rush of the falling water turns huge wheels which are connected to a motor of immense horsepower which runs several smaller ones. One motor of 10-horsepower works a moving machine, another a thrashing machine and a third a circular saw for cutting logs.
 The churns and other appliances in the farm dairy are all run by electricity and the farm itself is lighted by several huge arc lamps
 Another farm, situated in Western Canada, saves about $2,500 every year by using electricity for manual labor, Moving machines, chaff cutters, Iploughs, harrows, reaping machines and the like are run by an electric cur- rent. The farmhouse is brilliantly lighted, and the kitchen supplied with an electrically heated range, while in the laundry the flatirons are heated by electricity.
 The Americans were the first to utilize electricity as burglar catcher. A well known professor of Chicago attached to one of the universities dis covered that any money he left in the pockets of his overcoat that was hung up in 8 lobby during lecture hours, seemed to disappear mysteriously. l One day he arranged wires that carried a generous current inside the pocket of his coat, and this brought
 the thief to a realizing sense of in-
 quity.

From this tank it passes, as 1t is used,
 by gravitatiOn to the freezing compart-
 ments.
 In the operation of the plant, the an- hydrous ammonia is compressed, and thereby heated and converted to a gas.
 It is then passed to a condenser. where
 it is brought into contact with cold wa , ter, thus reducing it in temperature to the temperature of the water, and con- ; verting it back to a liquid. It is then expanded into the freezing coils, which are incased in the freezing plates. These plates being submerged in the | water the ice forms on their outside, and after period of eight days a cake 1 of ice has developed or grown. Ehe 1 system used is known as thes direct
 expansion system, but by it the trouble
 with old direct expansion plants is ob-
 viated by the introduction of a reserve

 ter the hot gas has passed through the
 coils within the plates, 1t becomes H.
 quefied. It is then conveyed by use of
 this reserve header to another com-
 partment, where it is expanded into the
 cells. It will bee observed that in thawing off the plates are used as a condenser. This eliminates the possi-
 bility of the liquid gas going back to
 the compressor. which was the difficult ty met with in operating the old style of direct expansion plate plants.
 The ice made in this plant has good lasting and refrigerating qualities. As it takes eight days for a cake of ice to develop, it is evident that could the pe-
 riod of freezing be reduced, the plant investment would be materially les- sened. Experts are now trying to ac- complish this.
