~ LATE the magazines and
~ daily papers have had much to
say by way Of criticism Of Ger.
tain life insurance companies, and es-
peeially with regard to the legal or
CARNATIONS Of such companies, and Of
the manner Of their control. These
criticisms do not apply to The Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of
California.
It is not controlled by one or two
men having no pecuniary interest or
responsibility save as poIicyholders or
recipients Of salary, but IL Is con-
troIled by a Board Of fifteen Directors,
not mere dummies, but stockholders
in their own right, holding a large
amount Of the company's stock, and

Of the Company are men Of high finan.
cial and commercial standing, and are
by law made responsible for the acts
Of the officers Of the Corporation.

ored to act with all impartiality and
fairness to the several departments Of
the government, reductions and cuts

view, viz, that of keeping the expenses
of the Territory within its revenue, a
duty In the opinion Of your committee
that every loyal spirited legislator owes
his country, and the adoption Of the
committees amendments will be proof
of such loyalty.
Respectfully submitted,
The item OF s12,5OO for salaries and
commissions OF deputy tax assessors
and collectors on Maui, which was cut
by the report to $l1,4O0 caused some
discussion, Dickey Directing to the re-
duction but the recommendation Of
the committee was finally adopted.
The recommendation of the com
mittee to insert a superintendent of
sewers at salary OF $125 under the
Public Works Department was not
adopted, 1t being argued that there
was already a sewer superintendent
under the Board of Health, who could
do the whole work.
At about 11:30 o'clock a recess was
taken in order that the Senators might
avail themselves of the invitation of

CHORUS GIRL
SHOT BY ACTOR
Then Turned Pistol on Himself, But
Thick Skull Saved Him.
WOMAN WILL PROBABLY DIE

Philadelphia, April 19-Because she
intended leaving the theatrical COM
pany of which both were members,
Edward Smedes shot Bessie Helen
Davis at a theatrical hotel where they
were staying, infiicting a probably IA
tai wound near the heart, and then at
tempted to kill himself. The bullet
fattened against his skull and he was
not badly hurt The couple were men,
bers of the chorus in THE School
Girl" company, of which Edna May is
the star. The woman is known on the
stage as Bessie Dale. She is % years
old, and her home is in Hebron. Neb.
Smedes home, 1t IS believed, is in
Vicksburg Miss.
Other guests at the hotel heard q
pistol shot. and Immediately after Miss
Davis ran screaming down the stairs
and fell unconscious into the arms of
a servant. A policeman who was pass
ing the hotel ran into the place, and
when Smedes saw him he turned the
weapon upon himself. The wounded
couple were taken to a hospital, where
1t was found the young woman's in
jury is likely to prove fatal. Smedes
is guarded in the hospital by two po-
licemen.
The couple arrived at the hotel on
Sunday and registered as Mr.. and Mrs.
Smedcs. Miss Davis obtained a posi-
tion with a company now rehearsing
at one of the local theatres. she in
tending to leave "The School Girl"
company. She was at the theatre re-
hearsing with the new company, when
Smedes gained admittance to the play
house and sought an engagement. He
failed to obtain it. Seeing Miss Davis
on the stage, he went to her and
threatened to shoot her If she Joined
the new company. He was ordered
from the place, and Miss Davis went
with him. They returned to the hotel
and, it is believed, they renewed their
quarrel, which resulted in the shoot
ing.
On the bureau in the room was
found note written by Smedes, that
read: ITO those who know and meet
my mother, help to sustain and keep
her"
A letter addressed to Mrs. T. M.
