The Jewish outlook., 1907-12-06

This caused the large emigration
from ROumania and immigration to
America The climax of the forced
emigration was reached in the spring
of 1900, when thousands of Rouma-
nian Jews left the country of their
nativity and started on foot to the
harbOr cities in Europe in order to go
to America The future historian
will have great deal to tell about
the emigration EN- masSe in the spring
and summer of 1900. The famous
Hay note to the European powers was
in consequence of that forced emigra
ton en- masse.
While the Jews have always been
prosecuted in ROumania, the perse
cution has always been at it's height
shortly after a pOgrom in Russia. 1t
seems as if ROumania. that is of the
same church as Russia, always fol-
lowed the bad example of Russia. The
first oppressive measures in Roumania
followed the massacres of the Jews in
Russia in 1882, when the famous May
Laws We're enacted by Ignatief. Then
the maSSacreS were renewed in 1892.
shortly after the Russian government
began to drive the Jews from the in
terror of Russia to the pale of Jewish
settlement.
For this reason | am of the opinion
that the solution of the Jewish prob
lem in Roumania is conditional upon
the solution of the Jewish problem in
Russia.

OPINION DE BOLT VS.. LONG.

OPINION DE BOLT VS.. LONG.
Editor Advertiser: Judge De Bolt
hands down an opinion in the final
account of Carlos A. Long, admins
traitor de bonis non of the estate Of
r. w. Holt, deceased, which surely
does Mr.. Long an injustice and per-
haps may reflect upon him.
Holding the legal title of the said
Longs doings in re said estate. 1 feel
in duty bound to him to refute such
portions of the Judges decision where
he is in error. He says that there is
a shortage of s542.55 in the securities
that Mr.. Long proposes to turn over
as against what he received from his
predecessor. The Judge is wrong when
he says there is such shortage, for if
he will peruse the several accounts
filed by Long from the date of his
appointment, he will learn that the
estate is not short that amount but
it has shrunk more than three times
that amount by reason of various
items that the administrator has paid
out from the corpus of the estate up
on introductory orders of the different
judges who have taken jurisdiction of
the Holt estate matters at various
times.
The Judge further says that Long
made a loan of $1,000 to Mrs. Lena Holt
and he would not approve of the same
as it was made on premises that she
only had a life interest in. He goes
on further and says that no prudent
business man would consider such a
business proposition and that the adj
ministration of an estate should not
be looked upon only as affording an
opportunity for the enrichment of
those through whose hands it must
necessarily pass, in other words, that
Mr.. Long is guilty of graft. If the
Judge had taken the time to look at
the mortgage given by Mrs. Lena Holt
to Long for the Holt estate, he will
learn that Mrs. Lena Holt is the own
er, during her life, of a piece of land
on the northeast corner of King and
Liliha streets under lease to a wealthy
Chinese at the ground rental of 800
per month, net above taxes. That she
mortgaged these premises to the Holt
estate and made an assignment to
Long of the monthly rental of the
place for the purpose Of; LIST, paying
the insurance on the building erected
by the lessee; 2nd, TO the payment of
interest on the mortgage; Srd, to the
payment of a life Insurance policy on /
the life of said Lena Holt in the sum
of $1,000 in the New York Life Insur- /
ance Co. which policy is a part and .
portion of the security of the said
mortgage, and the surplus TO said Mrs. /
Holt. In my estimation, no better loan /
could have been made by any person (
acting in any ffduciary capacity and
I believe it far better than some OF
the bonds that the court has especially
allowed Longs predecessors to pur-
chase for this estate at par, and which
today cannot be sold for sixty cents
on the dollar. For information of the
Judge. I may mention that this same
loan, upon the same security, was, for

term of three years, held by The
Waterhouse Trust Co, Ltd, and it
considered it one of its gilt-edged
securities and turned the loan over to
Long only upon request of the inter-
ested parties.
I would recall to the Judge the fact
that when Long rendered his annual
account for the year ending June 30th,
1906. this estate owned the Lena Holt
mortgage and he. De Bolt. who pre-
sided at the hearing of the accounts,
approved the same, including this
loan, as Judge Lindsay had done the
year before. At both these periods,
the loan was $1,000. Yesterday when
the Judge saw fit to unnecessarily
scorch Long, a payment of $500 had
been already made and was shown in
his account
With regard to the surcharge by the
Judge of the commissions that Long
charged in his accounts upon the final
distribution of the estate, it was the
Judges right and power to disallow
the amounts, but not to surcharge
Long with it. The account shows that
the estate did not have sufficient cash
on hand at the date of closing the
accounts to pay the commissions
charged, and the evidence adduced at
the hearing Of the accounts showed
that what cash the estate ought to
have in the event of a disallowance of
the commissions charged was then and
is still at this date of writing in the
First National Bank of Hawaii, to the
credit of the estate. Long never drew
the money but made a charge to raise
the OnpStiOn no decided
open question as co whether he is en-
titled to the commissions he has
charged. and though De Bolt says he
cannot have it, little do we know but
that a higher court may differ with
him.
Yours truly.

FADs IN SCHOOLS.

Editor Advertiser: As a parent of
three children of school age, I wish to
express my hearty approval of the
stand Mrs. Dowsett has taken regard
ing "Fads in our public schools" and
I am sure there are many others who
disapprove the introduction of dis
tracing features into the system of
education. before a proper foundation
has been laid in the rudiments OF
learning. Ny views may be out of
date. in the light of modern ideas. yet
1 submit that the purpose of education
should be to lay a substantial founda-
ton in the most essential branches be-
fore anything else is introduced. MANY
children. and especially children of
this cosmopolitan community, can net
afford to waste time learning what
may never be of use 10 them, and from
practical standpoint I submit it is
infinitely better TO equip a pupil with
knowledge which will enable him TO
follow out any line of study which
circumstances may require or natural
aptitude dictate. than 10 force him

training. I submit that they should be
taken up as postgraduate courses and
not be made part Of q common
school education.
There are many things educational
which are received with silent pro-
test, and the worthy superintendent
of the Board Of Education should not
consider his acts approved because of
the absence of open protest.
This very silence is a mark of the
good sense Of this community. which is
content to leave the board free hand
in the exercise of its duties. as the
wisdom or unwisdom. the success or
failure. of its undertakings must rest
upon its shoulders.
II is therefore gratifying TO note that
the protest in the present instance
comes from a member of the board
itself. which fact entities the board to
a renewal of public confidence. May
the good sense of Mrs. Dowsett prevail
in future deliberations on this subject,
is the earnest prayer of, yours truly,
