ed in direct terms the comment In the
morning paper which seemed to him
cast a slur upon the captain of the
Hawaii. The defense of Captain
Harris was general among all the
visitors and especially with the old
captains, who know how difficult it is
to take a new yacht out on months
notice and get line on all her pecu-
larities SO as to make winner.
Capt. Lew Harris of the Lady Maud
spoke good word for his crew that
started as landsmen ana wound up
as first-cass sailors. lie drew espe-
cial attention to the fact that so far
as he knew this TRANSATLANTIC Race
of 1908 was the only race for the dis
lance in which the contrasting yachts
all came In within thirty-siX hours.
The usual result of an ocean race is
to have the yachts stringing along
for several days. The small margin
between the yachts Capt. Harris not
ed as proof of the good seamanship
ON all the boats.
After the visitors had been heard
from, the talking began all along the
line. L.. A. Thurston made a speech
in which he predicted that trade
would follow the Transatlantic Race.
Delegate Kuhio thought that was all
right, but he didn't want to see too
much commercialism brought into
amateur sport. He wants the real
sporting spirit to prevail.
II. p. Wood talked; "Trans-pacillc
Mac" offered pithy remarks; Clar-
cnce Macrarlane was heard from;
Wallace Il. Harrington said few
words for the Press; Captain Harris
was given a cheer and said he had no
excuses to offer. Capt. Wilbur Kyle
was heard, and Mr.. Savage of the
Lurline party had pleasant words for
Honolulu and its people. .
The regular and volunteer program
of the evening was punctuated with
liberal cheers and good Hawaiian mu-
sic by the glee club. The visitors are
having grand time. Today they
lunched at the Commercial Club, and
every moment of their stay in port is
taken up with some business and
much pleasure. -.,t

Death Came Twenty. Minutes
After the Shot Had Been
Fired !:
Wife AWOKE IN time TO
See HIM sink TO FLOOR
There is Some Doubt Among Police
Investigators as to Whether Death
Was the Result of Murder or Suicide
No Intruders Found.

st. Louis, Dec. s-Frances d.
Hirschberg, prominent insurance
man, club man, and director Of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
pany, was shot and killed in his home,
at 1918 Lindell boulevard, early this
morning. He died twenty minutes
after he was shot. Whether his death
was the result of murder or suicide
has not been determined. The mem
bers of the family aver that he was
the victim of burglar. The police
investigators take the other view. de-
claring that there was no evidence Of
the presence of intruders in the pal
atial home. A trail of blood stains on
the snow while the stairway leading
from the reception hall on the first
floor indicate that Hirschberg was
shot at the foot of these stairs and
then turned and walked back to his
bedroom on the second floor. From
there he crossed hallway and passed
through his wife's room to the bath
room. AS he returned, staggering into
his wife's room, Mrs. Hirschberg
awoke just in time to see him sink to
the floor unconscious, according to the
statement made to the police.

ARE THEY DEAD
Question Of Whether Electrocution
Kills to he Settled


Albany, N. Y, Dec. 8-Of1cials Of
the state department of prisons are
interested in the report from Trenton,
N. j., that efforts are to be made by
prison physicians to revive the victim
Of the next electrocution at the state
prison there for the purpose Of prov
ing or disproving the theory that has
been expounded that electrocution only
stuns the victims who are later killed
by the surgeons knife during the au-
topsy.
'fWhile I have no personal knowl-
edge as to whether electricity really
kills except that which is reported to
me by the officials in charge Of cleo
trocutions," said Superintendent c. v.
Collins of the state prison department
today, 1 feel certain that when the
contacts are properly made, the man
is dead before the surgeons knife
touches him. We have had some Of
the most eminent physicians of the
country attend executions in New
York state and in every instance aft
er an examination OF the man electro
cuted, they have pronounced him
dead"
In his years of service at the head
of the state prison department, Su.
perintendent Collins had attended but
one electrocutfon, that of Leon Czol-
gosz, murderer of President Mckinley,
who was executed at Auburn prison
on October 20, 1901. Fourteen per-
sons are under sentence of death In
this state, seven at Auburn prison ana
seven at Sing Sing.

The moral effect Of this procedure
was so great that It. was necessary
to issue only $24,631, ,90S Of the Pan
ANA canal bonds and SIS, ,436, 500 of the
certificates OF Indebtedness.
During the period from July 1, 1901,
to September 30, 1908, the balance be-
tween the net ordinary receipts, and
the net ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment showed surplus in the four
years 1902, 1903, 1906 and 1907, and
deficit in the years 1904, 1905, 1908
and fractional part of the fiscal year
1909. The, net result was a surplus
of 1928, ,413.54. The financial oper-
ations of the government during this
period, based upon these differences
between receipts and expenditures, re-
suited in net reduction of the inter-
est-bearing debt of the United States
from 9S7,141,040 to sS97,253 $3.50, not
withstanding that there had been two
sales of Panama canal bonds amount
ing In the aggregate to $54,631 $3.50,
and an issue OF three per cent certi-
ficates Of Indebtedness under the act
of June 13, 1885,, amounting to $15,-
436,5O0. Refuhding operations of the
treasury departments under the act
of March IA, 1900, resulted in the con-
version into two per cent consols of
1880 of 5000, ,309 400 bonds bearing
higher rates of interest. A decrease
of $S,6S7,956 in the annual interest
charge resulted from these operations
In short during the seven years and
three months there has been a net
surplus of nearly one hundred mill
ions Of receipts over expenditures, a
reduction of the interest bearing debt
by ninety millions, in spite Of the ex-
traordinary expense of the Panama
canal, and saving of nearly nine
millions on the annual interest charge.
This is an exceedingly satisfactory
showing. especially in view of the
fact that during this period the ma
tion has never hesitated to undertake
any expenditure that it regarded as
necessary. There have been no new
taxes and no increases Of taxes: on
the contrary some taxes have been
taken off; there has been q reduction
OF taxation.

inevitable concluskjns which were
reached after the arguments, tend to
place it among the great state papers
of the nations chief executive.
The message in full follow:
The Message.
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
The financial standing of the nation
at the present time is excellent, and
the financial management of the ma
tion's interests by the government
during the last seven years has shown
the most satisfactory results. But our
currency system is imperfect, and it
is earnestly to be hoped that the cur
rency commission will be able to pro-
pose thoroughly good system which
will do away with tte existing defects.
During the period from July 1,
1901 to September 30. 1908, there was
an increase in the amount of money
in circulation Of $902,991, 1893. The
increase in the per capita during this
period was $7.06. Within this time
there were several occasions when it
was necessary for the treasury de-
partment to come to the relief of the
money market by purchases or re-
demptions of United States bonds; by
increasing deposits In national banks;
by stimulating additional issues OF
national bank notes. and by facilitating
importations from abroad of gold. Our
imperfect currency system has made
these proceedings necessary. and they
were effective until the $monetary dis
|.turbanee in the fall 81 1907 immense
ly increased the difficulty OF ordinary
methods of relief. BY the. middle OF
November the available working bal
ance in the treasury had been reduced
to approximately s5,O0O,OOO. Clear
ing house associations throughout the
country had been obliged to resort
to the expedient Of issuing clearing
house certificates, to be used as mon
ey. In this emergency it was deter
mined to invite subscriptions for $780,
100000 Panama canal bonds, and
$1O0 100000 three per cent certificates
of Indebtedness authorized by the act
of June. 13, 1898. 1t was proposed
to redoposit in the national banks the
proceeds of these issues, and to per-
init their use as basis for additional
circulating notes of national banks.

A THORNY PATH
Postal Savings Bank Bill May Not he
Passed

Washington, Dec. S-A thorny path
confronts the postal savings bank bill
in spite Of the fact that its passage Is
advocated in the Republican national
platform.
Investigations conducted abroad by
members of the national monetary
commission are in large part respon-
sible for a change of sentiment in re-
gard to the establishment Of postal
savings banks.
Several members of the commission
are now on record in favor of the gov
ernment keeping out of the bank busi-
ness. Senator Aldrich, the chairman
of the commission Is ready to take a
positive stand against the passage of
the bill and he will have the support
of large number of senators because
of influence brought to bear upon
them by the opposition Of small bank
ers throughout the country. These
bankers have taken steps to flood
their senators and congressman with
protests against its enactment. They
have taken the position that the state
and savings banks are necessary to
communities because it is to them
that borrowers are compelled to go
when they desire to raise money on
real estate and chattels which nation
al banks will not accept as securities
for loans. The position is taken fur
ther that these small banks in many
instances will be driven out of busi-
ness by the postal banks. In view of
the opposition that has developed the
prospect is that no vote will be OBJ
tanned on the postal savings bank bill
on December IA or upon any other
day In the immediate future.

Competition VIII Adjust Rewards.
Might has overturned this law in
some cases, cunning has perverted It
In others and government has some
times suspended 1t, but 1t should be
the aim of the social man to restore
this law and to make 1t operative
Man cannot adjust the laws Of So
ciety as impartially or as equitably
as they can be adjusted by competi-
ton where competition is free.
Man has not the intelligence to
parcel out the worlds work by legis-
lative act Or by commission, nor have
those in power the disinterestedness
necessary to q wise distribution Of the
work to be done. Where competition
is impossible, a government monopoly
Is necessary, but where individual
competition Is possible, competition
Is better than government ownership.
The Republicans may boast Of their
victory, but they have more formid-
able opponent than the Democratic
party to contend with. They have the
irresistible forces of Socialism to COM
bat. II the Republican leaders are
deaf to the petitions of those who
feel aggrieved by present injustice,
the remonstrance will grow until the
threat Of punishment will compel the
government to give heed.
Will Force Right of Wrongs.
"Just as the Populist party grew
until It compelled consideration Of the
abuses that led to its organization,
30 the Socialist party will grow until
1T forces those at the head Of the gov
ernment to look into the wrongs that
are done and to apply remedies.
"a Democratic victory would have
brought the reforms earlier, but even
q Republican victory cannot perman-
emily prevent them. The Socialists,
acting with the Democrats, might have
hastened these reforms, but the So
cialists acting alone will still exert
an influence in compelling a more
careful consideration of the great
economic question that has vexed the
world from the beginning, namely,
the equitable distribution of the joint
product of human toils--a distribu-
ton which will give to each individual
a share proportionate to his contribu-
| tiOn to the worlds welfare"
