The building in which the plant is
located is on Stevenson street, imme-
diately south of Market, and almost
adjoining the Call editorial rooms. 1t
was because the smoke from this plant
soiled the walls of his new white block
that Claus Spreckels was led to organ
ize an opposition electric lighting com
panv in San Francisco, which was sub
sequently consolidated with the exist
ing plant. The damage will be heavy,
and the crippling of the light service
of the city is a serious matter.

ASSOCIATED Press CablegramS.D
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The insur-
ance committee has presented a report
to the Legislature which scores the
State Insurance Department for plain
failure to perform its duty. The report
recommends the safeguarding of policy
holders by the naturalization of COM
panies, the limiting of new business of
any one company to one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars in a year, tho
absolute prohibition of political assess
ments by the companies and the TAX
ing of steps looking to more economical
management.
So the insurance scandals have borne
fruit, and there is at least a promise
that the interests of the policy holders
will be looked after. The people of
most mainland communities are long
suffering, being Americans, but when
public sentiment is once aroused
against any great abuse the action
taken is generally drastic-and ef-
fective.

Z AS it's main purpose, the Midwinter
Floral Parade was intended to illus
crate to the world the summer in win
tier that prevails in Hawaii. AS the
seasons revolve, it will be just as
feasible to illustrate that Hawaii's,
summers, though not wintry are not
torrid like the summers of the tenn
perate' regions A prime motive of
the festival was to show that Hawaii
is perennially Towering land. Seq
ond to no other object, however, was
that of providing asday's esthetic and
rational entertainment for the stranger
within the gates. In designing the
methods of attaining all these ends.
the promoters most happily struck a
scheme that brought the population out
in gala array. Surely no genius could
have inspired anything that could have
so completely succeeded in marshaling
before the eyes of visitors the pictur-
esque variety of Honolulu's inhab-
itarlts.
With all these elements of achieve
ment the Floral Parade, notwithstand-
ing it was much of the nature of
trial trip was intrinsically a magnifi-
cent event. Frowning skies early in
the day gave place just at the right
time TO an ideal state of wea ather This
intensified the joy Of both participants
and spectators. The meteorological
threat seemed to be a purposed joke
of the clements at which everybody
smiled.
THIRTY AUTOMOBILES
Thirty decorated automobiles were
in lire. This alone was a telling illrls-
tration of the modernity Of Honolulu.
In the main, the decorations bespoke
artistic talent of high order hereabouts

ideas well-carried out. This is equally
true of the decorating of the other We
