SCORED BY
HENDRICKS

New York, Nov. 6.-The final report OF
Francis Hendricks state superintendent
OF insurance. on the condition and affairs
Of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
was made public yesterday. The report
is made by examiners of the department
and addressed to Superintendent Hen
bricks.
IL deals chiefly with the financial stand
ing OF the society, and those who expected
that superintendent Hendricks would
comment on the scandals which ne omit
ted or suppressed In his preliminary re-
port were disappointed.
The anal report contains nothing about
Edward II. Hartman. In the preliminary
report Harriman's name was mentioned
twice Nor does Superintendent Hen
bricks refer to the charges that have been
made against Benjamin Il. Odell. Jr. The

GRANGER
SPOKE AT
PAWTUCKET

Congressman d. J.. D. Granger spoke
on THE Churchman in Civic Life" last
evening at st. Pauls Episcopal church in
Pawtucket Rev Marion Law, rector of
the church, before Mr. Granger spoke. ad-
dressed the congregation briefly. calling
attention to the fact that IL has been said
st. Paul's church was given over to poll
tics. I'VE are trying to rouse people to
a sense OF civic duty" he explained. ''and
nothing of a partisan nature has been
said"
Mr.. Granger said in part:
81 take it the duty of citizenship rests
no more upon the Christian than upon
Jew or other faith. The responsibility OF
the Christian is however greater The
bright light shed upon life by Christ in
creases the responsibility OF His follow
ers Addresses without end are made
upon the subject, but the best Word has
not been said. II | succeed I'm making 81
plain that the Christian has a civic duty,
! will leave the particularizing Of that
duty to someone else.
"One great evil is the withdrawal from
politics OF educated and religious men.
Those educated men who do go into poll
tics, as the phrase is, usually leave their
education and religion behind them
THE question we are coming TO ask Is
"A
failed? We are in the midst OF a great
movement-at a crisis. The movement is
from liberty TO unity Who asks in our
country for greater liberty?
Church unity is another form OF the
same thing. Unity is not equality II
is cooperation sympathy, fellowship. 1t
makes us give 10 each one his oppor-
tunity. The theory that civil government
is means to secure individual safety is
passing away. We are now thinking its
purpose to be to build up justice and
righteousness, and administration on
business principles. BY business princi-
Piles Is not meant some OF the principles
that hold in business, OF ruthless COM

''Civic life should be like a family in
which the strong help the weak: where.

REIGN OF
TERROR ON
BLOCK kISLAND

There are grave fears that election day
will not be as quiet an occasion on Block
Island as might be desired and Gov Utter
has gone there to see what he could do
towards maintaining good order tomor-
row. Last week the governor received
a letter from the town council Of New
Shoreham stating that certain men had
been warned TO keep away from the
polls and threatened with bodily harm II
they did not.
The letter contained n request that
the governor and the sheriff OF Newport
county take such action as they thought
advisable for the maintenance OF order
on the island election day.
Gov. Utter sent Seeber Edwards 10

candidates and II possible to secure prom
ises to keep their followers under control
and preserve order at the polls. Mr. Ed
wards saw several OF the candidates Two
of them promised TO do all they could in
the interests Of good order, another would
have nothing to say and the fourth he
was unable TO locate.
A delegation OF Block Island citizens
visited the governor yesterday and laid
the matter before him. Gov. Utter left
for Newport last evening and today went

as could be gathered together and by

CAPTAIN SCHUTT
IS DISCHARGED
Heacock Hands Down a
Decision on the Real
Meaning of the Law
INTENT is NECESSARY
Negligence Alone, Says the
Court, Not Sufficient to
Furnish Proof of Guilt

United States Commissioner Heacock
yesterday dismissed the charge against
Captain w. Schutt, master of the Ger
man bark Professor Koch. and handed
down an oral decision that will have
an important bearing upon all sim
liar cases. Captain Schutt had been
charged with having illegally landed a
member Of his crew who was afflicted
with trachoma and whose landing had
been forbidden by United States I'm
migrant Commissioner North upon rec
ommendation Of the Federal quarantine
authorities.
In rendering his decision discharging
the defendant. Commissioner Heacock
said:
The testimony In this case does not show
that the master of the vessel. in any manner,
to any extent whatever, consented to the land
ing or the going ashore of the seaman named
in the bill. and although I hold that he was
negligent in that he did not take sufficient
h to ot the tba
it could be imputed therefrom that he In any
manner consented to such landing The testi-
mony here Is that the master acted In the
best OF faith to prevent this man from going
ashore. In my opinion section OF the i'm
migration act. under which this charge was
prosecuted, requires consent and intent on the
part OF the master OF the vessel.
The representative Of the German
Consul made a few remarks upon the
arbitrary power exercised by the ma
rine medical officer of the United
States. He said:
The marine medical officer under the statute
is made the only and the highest tribunal to
determine whether any OF the passengers
seamen afflicted with any contagious dis
ease. From his decision there Is no appeal.
and your Honor assumes that it Is conclu-
sive. Now the marine medical officer may
yet 1t Is possible that he may make mistake.
II is extraordinary that the liberty and COM
fort of people coming to this country a ship
are dependent upon the reports of these Of
ficers. while in all other controversies the de-
fendant Is given a chance to defend himself
by introducing other expert testimony, and he
is given the right to appeal.
The imperial German Consul had these men
examined by two of the most eminent special
Rosenthal and DR.. Dake-and both have GER
titled above their signatures that there Is not
a vestige OF trachoma and that the redness
of the eye was caused by the irritation from
boisterous weather.
The Consul then asked Judge Hea-
cock to use his influence to have the
law amended so as to obviate the OBJ
jections made.
1t is believed that the charges against
the captains Of the Magdalene and the
Luxor will be dismissed on the same
grounds.

CARRIED AWA Az
WHILE MAPPING

On board the Italian ship Amphitrite,
which is discharging cargo at Howard
street wharf, is a man who. boarded
the ship fourteen months ago at Tai
tai, Chile. to take nap. When he
awoke the Amphitrite was at sea. He
has stayed with her ever since in the
hope that some day she may return
to the nitrate port.
The name of the man who was car
ried away in his sleep is Luis Albaro.
He is a deaf mute and was one of the
public characters at the port of Taltal,
where he involuntarily Joined the ship.
After leaving Taltal the Amphitrite
sailed to Rotterdam. From there she
went to Antwerp, where she loaded the
cargo she is now discharging at How
ard street wharf.
Luis is able to write his own name
and a few phrases of Spanish. Beyond
this his only communication with his
shipmates has been by signs, and of
necessity has been limited. Captain
Cafiero is taking good care Of his af-
flicted guest, who still occupies in the
forecastle the bunk he selected for his
unfortunate nap. He looks well fed
and not specially unhappy, though his
shipmates say that at sea he frequent
ly gets very homesick. On his blue
sweater the legend seaman" is print
ed in big white letters and Luis is said
to be quite handy man when he un-
derstands what is wanted Of him. BY
his shipmates he is treated with a GER
tain amount Of awe and Is gently
shielded from the hard knocks which
usually go with life in windjam-
mer's forecastle.
Luis was once a soldier in the Chill
can army, but when the Amphitrite
was at Taltal he eked out living as q
boatman. He was a privileged char
acter and allowed to go and come as
he wished. His position in Taltal was
good dell similar to the one he now
occupies on the Italian ship, except
that there he was among people he
knew and with whom he could COM
municate freely.
The Amphitrite's destination after
leaving here is uncertain. but is not
likely to be Chile.
