INSURANCE. PAID
ON THE
COLLEGE BUILDING

The insurance on the President
new house at Oahu College, which was
mysteriously destroyed by fire some
time ago. has finally been paid. There
were two policies on the building ag-
gregating to $4,000, one of which was
held by the College and the other by
Contractor Campbell. The contract for
The constructions of the building was
for only $4,000, but it would have cost
$4,000 to complete it. 1t was ques-
ton as to whether insurance should
he paid for the $4,000, which was the
price of the contract, or $4,000, which
was the actual cost thereof. Finally
$4,000 was paid, this amount being
distributed pro rata between the Col
lege and Campbell.
1t will thus be seen that all parties
concerned, except the insurance peo-
pie, have been the gamers. The COL
lege gets $4,000 building for $4,000
and the contractor gets out of a loss
of about $4,000, which is the difference
between the price of the contract and
the actual cost of the structure. The
college trustees have decided to start
rebuilding Immediately.

$40 NOT ENOUGH,
SAYS MANTINI,
TO LIVE ON

One mans reason why some of the
newly imported Spanish and Portu-
guese immigrants are dissatisfied with
work on the plantations was told this
morning to President Pinkham OF the
Board of Health by Antonio Mantini.
Spaniard who arrived about four
months ago from Spain nthe Hello
polls.
Mantini, who can speak no English,
and was Obliged to tell his troubles
through an interpreter, visited the Of
flee of the Board of Health in search
OF a job He said he had been at work
On Hawaii plantation but had left
there and come to the city to see If ha
could not find something to do that
would enable him to make more money
for himself and his family.
He had no kick to make concerning
his treatment on the plantation.
"They are all nice people" he said,
land have treated me we'll. But l
can't get along on 500 month. l find
that after l have paid my bill at the
plantation store at the end of the
month l have nothing left to buy
clothes for my wife and little girl. My
wife has no clothes now, and so have
come to Honolulu to see If | can't find
something to do that will give me
enough to live on and to buy clothes
for my wife. can't live on $40 a
month"
Mantini appeared to be rather in
ielligent Spapiard. He had no griev-
ance to air, no complaints to make
against his treatment. He just could
rot live on the wages paid him on the
plantation.
He didn't seem to know why he
should have come to the Board CT
Health to try to find work,-said q
Portuguese had given him the address
and advised him to go there. Presi-
dent Pinkham said he guessed the rep
utation given him for being an easy

Mr.. Pinkham had nothing for the
man to do, but referred him to the

HOTEL MEN ON TIPPING LAW
All of Them say the Measure Could
Not he EMectunlIy
Enforced.

The Omaha hotel and restaurant men do
not look with very great favor on the
"anti-tipping' bill which has been recon-
mended for passage in the state senate.
As a rule the hotel proprietors and res
taurant men say they discourage tipping,
but allege they cannot control It, neither
do they believe any law against tipping
can be enforced.
Tipping is so universal that do not be-
lieve any law can be passed that will pre-
vent It." says Manager Anderson of the
Her Grand. ut is something with which
hotel managers and proprietors have moth
ing to do L wish It could be abolished
completely. Tipping is the fault Of the
guest. II the law could be enforced all
guests would be treated exactly alike and
that would be a good thing of course. We
expect our help to treat all patrons exactly
alike, but human nature is the same the
world over. You cannot prevent a man
from giving a tip and the consequence is
that the liberal Upper gets the preferred
service. II we know of a patron being
Disseminated against because he refuses
to pay a tip, that waiter goes at once"
Chief Clerk Hastings of the Murray said:
Tipping is all the fault of the guest,
himself. There is no way of preventing 1t.
1 do not believe the law will become effec-
tive. AS a rule we discourage tipping, but
then we have no means of knowing who
pays or receives tips. II we find a guest
Disseminated against by a waiter or bell
boy, that waiter or bell boy goes"
Tipping cannot be stopped by law" says
T. ]. O'Brien of the Henshaw. THE Upper
is the responsible party for the evil This
proposed law may pass, but 1t will be a
dead letter. No hotel or restaurant can
afford to hire a detective to watch tip Civ
ing. No man Is compelled to pay a tip"
Chief Clerk Scott OF the Merchants said:
81 wish the law could be made so stringent
as TO abolish all classes of tipping. But it
can never be enforced. The guest pays the
tip voluntarily and naturally expects special
service for 1t. We cannot prevent that"
Two OF, the head walters Of leading hotels
were noncommitaf on the subject Of tipping
Both held that, IF we are handed a tip we
would be foolish to hand 1t back to the
giver, wouldn't we?'

Reciprocal DemurrnEe BiIl.

The reciprocal demurrage bill has been
revived in another form at Lincoln, intro
duced by Holbrook of Dodge in the shape
of reciprocal demurrage bill on the aver
age plan. Two bills have been previously
introduced, but they were abandoned after
the showing made by the railroads.
o. l.. Dickson, assistant superintendent
of transportation of the Burlington, made
the principal argument against the bill and
he showed so many defects and crooked
turns that nothing more was heard from
them
The new bill provides for the extension
OF time for unloading of coal and coke TO
five days TO work on the average plan. It
is claimed by the railroads that reciprocal
demurrage will, in no way remedy the car
evil, but will harrass the roads which are
more interested than anybody in keeping
the cars moving with loads as much as
possible. In the circular letter to the
agents of the road, General Manager
Mohler of the Union Pacific says:
The question of adequacy OF car supply
naturally divides itself under the following
headings:
(A) Freight locomotives and cars repre-
sent one-fifth OF the total capital invested
in railroad. and are practically the only
portion Of the property which provides
revenue; the value Of the remaining four
htths depending entirely upon the use made
of this one-fifth.

co Cars are at times very valuable to
consignees for storage purposes on the basis
of the present low demurrage rates.
Demurrage is collected from a shipper on

HARTMAN DIVIDENDS BIC
len Per Cent on Union Pacific and Five on
Southern Pacific Common.
RESULTS FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS
Interesting Figures 90 Nebraska PeO-
pie Just when Legislature f.
f. wrestling with Several
Reform Measures.

hartman dividends have been declared
for the six months ending January 1, and
the big results disclosed at the end Of the
preceding six months show no shrinkage
AT the end of the last period Union Pa
cihc common stock, which had never paid
more than per cent, was placed on 10
per cent yearly basis, and Southern Pa
clio common, which had never before paid
a dollar in dividends, was placed On a .
per cent basis.
These facts are considered interesting in
Nebraska just now, where the Legislature
is wrestling with 2-cent fare and other
railroad bills.
1t is admitted that the rate might in
keeping with conservatism be increased in
the case of either the Union Pacific or
Southern Pacific, but there are very de-
cided reasons why these properties should
be kept on the present dividend basis for
the time being at least, adds the Journal
The last six months have amply justified
the dividend rates established on the Har-
riman lines last August. AT one stroke
merely by the reinvestment of cash-over
100000 per annum has been added to the
surplus earnings of the Union Pacific
through the other income accounts and in
the case of the Southern Pacific, in the
first six months of the current fiscal year
nearly A9OO,oO0 have been added to net
earnings, which is tantamouRt TO the same
addition to surplus earnings, and II the
same stride is maintained IN the next six
months surplus earnings will be increased
upwards Of s9.OOO,oOO.
FatuOus to Expect II.
But perhaps It were tatuous TO expect
that Southern Pacific can add 100000 to
it's net earnings in the six months from
January to June. Nevertheless all the data
at hand indicate that this will be done I'M
less some untoward circumstances occur.
AS a matter OF fact there is no reason
why Southern Pacific earnings should not
show n relatively greater increase in the
last six months of the year than in the first
six months. II will be recalled that in the
period from January to June in 1905 the
Southern Pacific had to contend with the
earthquake at San Francisco and the traffic
disasters which followed and even although
the road did make a magnificent showing
during this period II was certainly not so
good as would have been the case had
there been no San Francisco earthquake.
Assuming that there will be no earthquake
this year. this assumption alone is worth
from 100000 to 100000 to Southern Pa
cifc earnings, other things being equal
So far as conservatism goes probably no
better justification Of the size OF the Harri-
man dividends could be advanced than the
fact that in the first six months Of the
current fiscal year to January 1 the Union
Pacific earned about 10 per cent on its COM
mon stock after providing for fixed charges
and preferred dividends for the period in
question.
