PROTEST FROM HONOLULU
Against the Proposed Territorial Loan
in Hawaii.

HONOLULU. November s.-Senator Nc
Candless and others have sent to President
Roosevelt a protest against the territorial
loan for which Secretary Atkinson is now
en- route to Washington to ask the approval
of President Roosevelt.
The last legislature made a provision for
issuing a loan of 81 ,250. 600 and made ap-
propriations accordingly.
Gov. Carter decided to issue and expend
only $750. 600 and 1t is to secure this amount
that Secretary Atkinson has gone to Wash
ington. The protestants claim that Gov
Carter is exercising Legislative function in
attempting to issue an unauthorized loan
of S150,0U and selecting which 1t was
among the appropriations shall be carried
out.
Gov Carter says that his action Is in
accord with a sound financial policy and
that the bill as passed by the legislature
provides for the use of territorial money
for matters which the counties themselves
should provide for.

OPPOSE THE MEASURE
DRAFT OF BILL RELATING TO
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE.

In an Endorsement on the jacket inclos-
ing the draft of bill which 1t is proposed
to have introduced in Congress soon. the
Commissioners have indicated their strong
disapproval of proposed measure for the
extension OF Massachusetts, avenue. The
syndicate which owns most OF the property
in the vicinity Of the proposed extension
prepared the draft Of the bill. and in 1t
provided that no assessment for benefits
should be charged against them. because
they had previously dedicated a valuable
slice of their land for the opening of Joliet
street. Engineer Commissioner Biddle re-
called the fact that land for Massachusetts,
avenue had been dedicated thirteen or four
teen years ago, but the dedication was at
tackled in the courts by the syndicate and
set aside. The Commissioners will oppose
any measure which Is not drawn on the
same general basis that originally pro-
posed.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November S.-Addi-

last night confirm the overwhelming defeat
OF the proposed suffrage restriction amend
ment to the constitution. but leave In doubt
the state controllership. and only complete
returns will show whether Mccullough, re-

ties are to be heard from yet. and it will

returns. The senate Is certainly demo-
cratic. but the official count throughout the

Insurance on Leased Buildings.

According to a decision of Deputy Auditor
Tweedale. the District government cannot
pay the insurance on any building leased
by It, A question to this end arose yester-
day when the Columbia Fire Insurance
Company sought to make the District re-
sponsible for any fire loss that might en-
sue while 1t is the tenant of one of the city
night lodging houses. 1t seems that there
is clause In the lease which requires the
local government to maintain insurance on
the house, but the statement by the deputy
auditor makes IL obvious that the only way
this can be accomplished is by the drawing
OF a new lease and the establishment or a
rental sufficient to cover the cost or the
Insurance.

plete returns from yesterdays election in
this county were not received until late this

any one, as the situation was generally re-

to fathom. The Illiterates were much more
successful than usual in marking their bal
lots and the number of ballots thrown out
for improper marking was several hundred
less than formerly. 1t is believed however,
that the republicans were much the greater
losers from this cause and but for this
their entire county ticket would probably
have been elected and the ma jority against

investigation of the methods of the life in
surance companies. The extended recess

members of the committee all OF whom
were candidates for reelection and who
wanted to be in their districts at election.
All Of these members with the exception
of Assemblyman John McKeown tden) OF
Brooklyn were reelected A member Of
the committee said the defeat OF Mr.. Nc
keown would not affect the constitutional
ity of the proceedings of the committee
since his term would not expire until the
end of the year. when 1t was hoped the
hearings would be ended
The first witness was Emory McClintock,
actuary of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, who has been under examination be-
fore. His testimony before has been of a
technical character. Mr. McClintock sub
mitted today statement of earnings and d.
vidends OF the company for five years. which
showed that In 1904 the realized earnings of

gain by the decrease or increase In the mar
ket value of securities. The total dividends
for this year were S2,714.549. of which
Sa.SS J03 were annual dividends.
Dividends Apportioned.
Mr.. McClintock was asked as to the
method of arriving at the amount of divi-
dends to be apportioned each year. and In
answer to questions from Mr.. Hughes
said that the apportionment of dividends
for 1904 was estimated and made up in
November, 1908, before 1t was known that
the earnings of 1904 would be $G624 ,6I1.
The earnings of 1903 were $5.563, S61. and
witness said there was no assumed
amount of increase taken into account
when the dividends were made up. 1t was
arrived at by taking into consideration
the general run of the business.
A committeeman asked: But why not
give more dividends IL the company can
afford it?''
I'VE fix the rate with due regard to the
circumstances Of the company" said the
witness. ~If we can afford it we give
more; IL not, then we give less"
