SUPREME COURT GIVES QUICK
CONSIDERATION
City Officials Cited to San Francisco
to Show Cause Why Liquor
Licenses Are Re-
fused

BY order of the supreme court. the
date of May in San Francisco was
fixed for hearing the test of the liquor
zone case carried to the highest body
on a writ Of mandamus by Theodore
Grumbach.
BY the terms of Chief Justice Beatty s
order City Clerk H. j. Lelande, Tax
Collector e. E. johnson and City Audit
or w. c. Mushet are cited to appear
and show cause why Grumbach's Ii
cense should not be renewed.
This will finally settle the validity of
the city ordinance establishing a re-
stricted zone into which all wholesalers
were required to move before April /.
Meanwhile nine retail liquor stores
outside of the retail liquor zone are
threaten with humiliation.
They are located at Central avenue
and Thirty-eighth street, San Pedro
and Eighth streets, San Pedro and
Ninth streets, East Seventh near Ma
teo, East Main and Moulton, Pasadena
avenue near the bridge, West WASH
ington near Hoover and East First
street near Meyers.
Monday a determined effort will be
made by the liquor and anti-liquor ele-
ments to establish their strength, as
the liquor men want to extend the zone
from Seventh to Ninth street. which
though small on it's face will add nearly
a hundred square blocks to the zone.

SHOW MERCHANTS
BILLBOARD FOLLY
BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS ARE
URGING NEW PLAN
Unsiehtly PIacards Ruin Scenery, One
of CALIFORNIA; Main Assets,
Hence Should Be Sup
pressed

| Having failed so far to legislate the
| billboards out of existence, business or
ganizations are taking up the warfare
started by women's outdoor art leagues
| in convincing merchants who patronlze
billboard advertising space in Los An
geles county of the folly of such
course.
The billboards could not exist if mer-
chants did not spend money advertising
by means of these unsightly, scenery
destroying methods, the associations
argue, and yesterday the Municipal
league sent out circulars to 1876 adver-
Users, opening the campaign.
The form of circular is as foIlows:
Scenery is an asset of Southern
California.
Your name has been given us as
one of the advertisers on billboards
that obstruct and destroy the seem
cry in the vicinity of Los Angeles.
Forty thousand people visit Los
Angeles every year because of its
climate and it's beauty. They ride
about the country in automobiles
and on trolley cars to view the
scenery.
The country billboard is destroy
ing our scenery.
The Municipal league urges that
in future contracts for advertising
you avoid the use of the country
billboard We recognize that 1t is
matter of comparative indiffer-
ence to you where you advertise,
provided you get the necessary
amount of publicity.
The same degree of publicity can
be obtained through other sources
without the risk of arousing resent
ment among customers at the ruin
of the scenery of our country re-
gions.
officials of the chamber of commerce,
Municipal league and Merchants and
Manufacturers association say this is
in no sense a boycott, but presenta-
ton of facts which they believe will
bring the advertisers into line at once.

INSURANCE HERE
HURT BY SCANDALS
EASTERN ATTACKS BIG COMPANIES APPARENTLY HAD
EFFECT ON THE LOCAL BUSINESS SHOWED
HEAVY REDUCTION 1907, ACCORDING TO COMMISSIONERS
REPORT WHICH HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED

The preliminary report of Insurance
Commissioner Campbell for the year
ending on Dec. 81, 1907, has been
printed and was being distributed to-
day. 1t is an interesting document
and shows in many ways that the in
surance companies located in this Ter
ritory have been having prosperous
times. The only loss SHOWN which
amounts to much is in life insurance.
The effect of the attacks made on the
large companies in this line of bust
ness in the East, is illustrated by the
fact that during the year covered by
the report but $1,54O,752 was written
in comparison with $2,417,19S for the
year before. This as partially made
up for, however, by the fact that the
losses and claims paid in 1907 amount
ed to but 5,91053 as against 1922, / II
for 1906.
That the companies were fortunate
in all lines is shown by the small
losses which were paid. In addition
to the figures quoted above on life in
surance, in the line of fire claims but
$37, 512 81 was paid out as against
S166, 249.64 for the year before. In the
marine insurance line the losses
amounted to but S2O,SO5.S7, less that
half of the $50, 9S9.93 paid the year be-
fore.
1t was the banner year in fire in
surance, the policies written amounting
to the huge sum of 1923, &c, 292 .95, near
ly $1,300,O00 more than in any pre-
vious year. The high figures of 1905

APPOINTED
MADE U. S. COMMISSIONER BUT
WILL PROBABLY BECOME CIR
CUT JUDGE.

Judge Selden b. Kingsbury was APP
pointed United States Commissioner
this morning by Judge Dole, thus fill
ing the vacancy made by the resigna-
ton of F. l.. Hatch, formerly clerk of
the Federal Court. Judge Kingsbury
and A. F. Judd will handle the work
together, 1t is not expected that Judge
Kingsbury will hold the position long,
for the indications are very strong that
he will be appointed TO the Circuit
bench when the present term of Judge
Hardy of Kauai expires.
Judge Kingsbury mas not been seen
very much in local practice here, the
most important criminal case being a
murder trial some two years ago, in
which he succeeded in getting a YER
dict of murder in the second degree
for client whom everyone expected
would be hanged. He came to this
city from Idaho, where he was one of
the most prominent practitioners in
the State, also holding several posi-
tons of public trust.

goes with the possession of great
wealth.
Has it ever occurred to you what
strange, unnatural condition the lover
of money grows into?
He actually thinks more of his mo-
ney than he does of his wife and emil
dren. This statement may seem APP
palling and untrue.
But look into the records.
Ninety-eight suicides brought on by
depression due to loss of money. to
every two caused by loss OF wife, chill
dren and near friends and relations!
Sixty-five cases of insanity due to
pecuniary losses to every one due to
bereavement!
A man loses $4,000, or more or less;
all he has, and he goes insane, or kills
himself, or both.
He loses his wife, truly mourns her
no doubt, but is able to do good bust
ness transaction and to live to marry
again.
He loses a son or a daughter and
his heart is sadly torn, but he lives on
to deprive some other mans son and
daughter of the benefits they deserve.
His bank fails; he is paralyzed, he
sinks into a premature grave? All,
let us thank God that our sense OF
values is not thus distorted; that our
souls are free to think much of life
and love, and very little of dollars.
At this Thanksgiving let us remem-
Der that one of the greatest blessings
we have God to thank for is the bless
Ing of being poor.

new feature of the report is au-
tomobile insurance, in which Homo
lulu paid $685.. 80 in premiums but got
no money back from losses. The re-
turn from those paying burglar in
surance was also small, amounting
to but $500 for the entire twelve
months.
From the statement of life insurance
it is shown that the largest volume of
business in this line done in the Ter
ritory was by the New York Life In,

ed the total business done by any OF
its competitors, the Equitable coming
