TRANSACTIONS OF INSURANCE.
OFFICIALS TO BE LAID BE-
FORE GRAND JURY.
MILL AWAIT END OF INVESTIGATION
INQUIRY HAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
"GREAT MORAL oBLIoUlTY
AND oBTUsENEss."

New York, Oct 6.-District Attor.
ney William T. Jerome announced in
q statement to Justice Davy in the
criminal branch Of the supreme court
during the day that he intended to
present to an extraordinary grand jury
the revelations affecting the conduct
of life insurance business which have
been made before the legislative in
vestigating committee. Mr.. Jerome
said the inquiry by this committee has
shown greater moral obliquity and
moral obtuseness on the part of per-
sons important In the business world
than did the shocking revelations" in
regard to the Equitable Life.
He said there was public excite
ment and sense of outrage at what
had been done and that it would un-
doubtedly meet with general commen-
dation If he were to select certain in
dividual transactions and place them
before the grand jury at once. How
ever, he regarded it as his duty to
wait until the Investigating committee
had completed it's work and then to
ask for an extraordinary grand jury
and lay before it the matters dis
closed by his own study of the situa.
ton, as well as that of Others This,
he said, he intended to do.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 6. Despite the
grant of autonomy, placing the ad-
ministration and policy of the univer-
sites in the hands Of elected rectors
and councils Of professors who are
thoroughly in sympathy with the re-
form work, the educational situation
is darkening and there is prospect
that the hot-headed zeal of student
.reformers and the activity of nom
student agitators at students meetings
may lead to another suspension of
work at the universities. Prince Trou-
botskoy, former president of the
zemstvo congress and rector of the
Moscow university, who is the fore
most Liberal in Russia, has, with the
approval of the council of professors,
already been forced to close that uni
versity temporarily owing to the pack
ing Of student assemblies by outside
agitators and the council of the St.
Petersburg university has warned the
students that the participation of out
siders in their meetings cannot be
permitted. The same state of affairs
is reported at Odessa and other uni
versitieS.

WORK OF BLACKMAlLERS.
Murder of Attorney streed at Cam

bridge, I'LL.
Cambridge, ILL.,, Oct "Details of
the mystery of the death of Attorney
John v. Srreed have been gradually
coming to light which tend to show
that the well Known lawyer was slain
in an impromptu revolver duel fought
in the night. Indications are that at
least two bullets were fired and two
persons were wounded. That develop
ments point strongly to the murder
theory is admitted frankly in official
circles. 1t seems now pretty we'll es
tablished that the attack on Streed
was the result of a series of efforts
at blackmail by gang which had
been operating here for long time.
The duel theory agrees with the evi-
dence Of Henry White, cashier of the
First National bank, who says he
thinks he heard two shots fired on the
fatal night. In his opinion the blood
on the inside of the house where
Streed was killed came from a wound
on some person other than the dead
lawyer. This would also account for
the blood spots on the back stairs, the
theory being that the murderer, slight
" wounded, fastened up to Streed's
rooms to get possession of papers in
volving the assailant.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE.
Russian Minister Discusses Subject

Secretary Root in reference to the

powers at The Hague. He did so fol-
lowing a suggestion made to him by

Baron Rosen stated that the Rus

out formal invitations for the second
conference, has caused the various

ascertaining whether or not they were
willing to accept such an invitation

subsequently adhere to The Hague

here who have HAWAII 8 interests at

pie to these shores. Albums contain

these are sometimes quite expensive.
Now the plan is to clip newspaper
cuts from local papers and periodicals
and paste these in albums, which are
nothing more nor less than Chinese ac-
count books. These are made with
double pages and make the most effec-
tive albums for inserting the pictures.
Several of these albums show views in
every part of the Islands and the SUP

THE QUINN VETO.
ET1

The Governor vetoed the Quinn bill
on account of its imperfections, not
because he is opposed to a liberal Sum
day law. His sympathies are with a
statute that will provide foe ~est. rec
reation and worship. and establish a
Sunday in which each person will be
able to observe the day in any way that
does not interfere with the observance
of it by others. But the Quinn bill, in
his opinion. leaves things open in a
variety of ways for the disturbance of
the public peace.
The new measure, however, seems
likely TO become law. The House
passed it over the Governors veto yes
terday and the Senate would have done
the same but for the absence of a mem
Der whose vote was required to round
out a two-thirds majority. Unless the
unexpected happens the enactment of
the Quinn bill win not be delayed long
er than Monday.
The new law may work well and it
may not; but if not, the next Legisla-
ture can amend it. Such a measure
is rarely satisfactory in form until it
has run the gauntlet of two ~ three
legislative sessions.

TOURISTS AS STATE BUILDERS.

be left to tourists, has pleasing as
poet of novelty. So much has been
done by this winters band of transient
guests to check the Asiatic advance.

group. that only few hundred more
will be needed to alter the Hawaiian
system and cause it to progress here
after on American lines. AT least we
are at liberty to infer as much from

prising as the dissertation may be to
those of less sanguine temperaments.
II the plan succeeds let it be hoped
that the health and p1easure-seekers
who have swarmed so long in Europe
and done nothing for America there
except to pay out it's surplus capital.
will take heart of grace and redeem
that land of effete despotisms from
its alien ways.
When the entire public land area OF
Hawaii is divided between planters
and graziers and when every avenue
of labor is cholxed with Asiatics. when
the small farm industry, such as it is.
is given over to Cinnamon and Japs,
let those who want to Americanize the
group gaze with joy at the announce
ment that the last steamer brought
forty guests for the Young, thirty-five
for the Hawaiian and that the Moana
is full: and Furthermore that enough
vegetables and beef came down in cold
storage to feed them during their stay
of three weeks. Surely such pro-
nouncement would be most inspiring

pressing it might seem to the old fogies
who had identified the traditions of
American development with the in
crease of rural growth and enterprises.
