.HOISTED WITH HIS
2 OWN LITTLE PETARO

Dr. Arthur G. Hodgins, 242 S. Bere-
tania avenue, is the worst put out man
in the city, and from present indica-
tions he will be still further put out
at the end Of the month.
Mrs. Mary H. Atcherley, 244 S. Bere-
tania avenue, the better half of John
Atcherley, NJ. r. C. s., L. R. c. P.
Oondon), is the cause of his undoing,
who has dropped the first-named ply
sician in a pit of his own digging, and
who is perched on the edge where she
can gloat.
1t all came about in this way:
The houses on Beretania avenue
where DR.. Hodgins and DR.. Atcherley
have their offices side by side belong
both to Mrs. Baker of San Francisco,
for whom, up until the springing of
the mine, DR.. Hodgins has been the
local agent. The moving of DR.. At
cherley into his neighborhood did not
disturb DIR. Hodgins until the cloven
hoof in the person of ]. Lor Wallach,
now of the county Jail, appeared and
moved in with his microscope and his
harem of female rocks. In his train
came focks of Hawaiians, and the
thing got upon DR.. Hodgins nerves.
Then he played his trump card. As
the Atcherleys had paid no rent, he
wrote: MY Dear Madam: As agent
for Mrs. Baker, I desire to inform you
that after April 1 your rent will be
raised from $40 to $50 a month
That April 1 looked like a joke to
Mrs. Mary, and she resolved to make
it one anyway, but not on herself nor
the Ifcentiate of the Royal College Of
Physicians.
DR.. Hodgins received no answer to
his letter. and he waited in patience
until April Fools Day when he could
demand the increased rent or eject the
tenants. Still waiting, yesterday morn
ing dawned, and the doctor opened MS
mail quite unprepared for any bomb
shells The first letter he opened read
something like this:
Dear Doctor: I have been appoint
ed the local agent for Mrs. Baker. /
desire TO inform you that after April
your rent will be raised from $50 to
s42 a month";
And the letter was signed, MARY H.
Atcherley."
During the time he had been waiting
for an answer to his letter, Mrs. At
cherley had been busy. She had writ
ten to Mrs Baker and informed her
that there was something rotten in
Denmark; that the house she was in
was worth more rent than she was
paying, and that DR.. Hodgins' house
was worth whole lot more. If Mrs.
Baker would appoint her the agent to
collect the rent, she would see that
the landlord got the worth Of the prop
erty. This had appealed to Mrs. Ba-
ker. who had made the switch.
The next move is up to DR.. Hodgins.

TWO THOUSAND
BOWERY BOYS
Can Be Had for Lab0rers or
Settlers at the Drop
of a Hat.

Governor Frear is informed that two
thousand Iaborers for Hawaii can be
had on demand, from New York city.
for the sole consideration of transpor-
tation provided. Any number can be
supplied at longer notice according to
the offer, which comes from Louis
Klopsch, editor of the Christian Her
aid and president of the Bowery Mis-
sion.
The letter of Mr.. Klopsch printed
below will probably, the Governor says,
be referred to the Board of Immigra-
tion. 1t is written under an elaborate
letter-head of the Bowery Mission and
reads as follows:
March z, 1908
<'To His Excellency, Walter F. Frear,
Governor of Hawaii, Honolulu, Ha-
waii.
Dear Sir: New York city is deluged
with workless men and boys, while in
many parts of the country (perhaps in
your own State) there is great dearth
of Iaborers. The Bowery Mission is
in a position to supply any number of
able-bodied workmen for unskilled Ia
Dor at moments notice. Will you
kindly help us to get these men an
opportunity to earn an honest living
by directing the attention of the Ha-
waii rural newspapers to this offer?
All that will be required for those who
wish help of any kind is to furnish
transportation. We ask no remunera-
tion for our services and will endeavor
in every instance to supply the very
best help available. All applications
for help should be addressed to the
Free Labor Bureau of the Bowery
Mission, 80 Bible House, New York
City.
Thanking you in advance for your
kind offices in this matter and for the
courtesy of an early reply, I am, very
truly yours,
LOUIS KLOPSCH
.'(Editor of the Christian Herald).
President of the Bowery Mission.
''P. S.-We stand ready to supply 1000
men on demand"

HAWAII IS To HAVE
WATER SURVEY MADE

M. O. Leighton, United States hydro
grapher, writes from Washington to
Governor Frear stating that he is max
ing tentative plans to visit Hawaii the
coming summer. He asks the Govern
or to supply him with certain informa-
tion.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Leighton was expected here last sum-
mer, on the occasion of visit he paid
to the Pacific Coast, but his duties in
Washington prevented him. Governor
Carter, in his last year of Office, had
been working hard to have water
survey of this Territory made under
the Reclamation Service and almost
had the assurance of visit from Mr..
Leighton within his term. Governor
Frear followed the matter up, attend
ing to it among the many Hawaiian
interests he pushed along during his
visit to Washington.

BAbDITT FIGHTS FOR
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS s

Winfred H. Babbitt, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, was working
tooth and nail in Washington, at latest
word from him to Governor Frear, to
secure for Hawaii the privileges of
the Rhodes Scholarships. All previous
efforts on behalf of this Territory in
the matter, as well known, have been
failures.
Now Mr.. Babbitt is getting the au-
thorities in Washington to take up Ha-
waii s claim for adrhittance to the
scholarships with British Ambassador
Bryce. The Minister of Interior and
the Commissioner of Education have
been interested in the effort, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt even was going to dis
cuss the matter with the Ambassador

ADMIRAL BECKLEY
PLANS FOR FUTURE

Admiral Beckley rendered his resig-
nation to the Inter-Island Company
yesterday as purser. He was for many.
many years purser for the Wilder
Steamship Company, and continued in
the service of the Inter-Island after
the latter bought out the former.
Admiral Beckley's future plans 40
not seem to be wholly settled. He
has discussed them with a number of
people. To these he has expressed his
intention of going to San Francisco
and buying or chartering a vessel to
bring down to the islands and run in
opposition to the Inter-Island Com
pany. He also told them that he might
charter a whaling vessel and command
>it in pursuit of the leviathans of the
deep.

HAWAII POLICYHOLDERS
IN LAME DUCK CONCERNS
Frank Winter the Agent of One in Hopeless
FK---Another in Bishop Agency
May Pull Through.

1854 N. Y, page 95, that the rights of
the policyholders became fixed as of
February 20. 1908, and that thereafter
the company could not require the
payment of premiums or insist upon
forfeiture"
In the meantime, if anything at all
may be saved out of the wreck, the
interests of policyho1ders would appear
to be protected with regard TO any pre-
miums that may have been paid after
certain time. A circular from the
Insurance Department of the State of
Colorado, dated March 2, says, with re-
spect to the Mutual Reserve Company:
"A circular already sent out advises
policyholders to pay premiums to pre-
vent lapsing of policies, and states
that, under an order of the court. all
such premiums hereafter paid viii be
kept in a special fund, separate from
all other moneys coming into the re-
ceivers' hands, and if the company does
not resume business such premiums
paid TO the receivers will be returned
to policyholders as and when the court
may in future direct"
There is a caution for intending in
surers in the following passage from
the Colorado circular, where it deals
with the same company: while the
wreck of this company seems to be
largely due to incompetent or negligent
officials. the primary cause of its
downfall is that it formerly did busi-
ness on the assessment plan, without
laying by the reserves required by the
mortality tables. All companies oper-
ated on this basis sooner or later meet
the same end"
Frank L. Winter was the agent in
this Territory, first in Hilo and later

JUMPS At 4 CHANCE
To SECURE A SETTLER

Land Commissioner Pratt yesterday
jumped at a chance of catching and
keeping an American farmer who is
looking for land in the Hilo district.
An applicant for right of purchase
lease, for lot of between forty and
fifty acres at Olaa, lately fled his re-
QUESTION at the Hilo land agency. He
came here from the mainland
Mr.. Pratt received the appraisal of
the land in his mail yesterday morning.
To act by mail would lose a week s
time. therefore the Commissioner sent
a wireless telegram to Sub-Agent Will
liams to advertise the land this week
in the Hi1o papers. Notice of thirty
days has to be given of a sale.

Treasurer A. ]. Campbell, as Com
missioner of Insurance, has received in
the latest mail important information
regarding two lame duck life insur-
ance associations which both have
policyholders in Hawaii.
One of these is the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Company which Otto
Kelsey, superintendent of Insurance
for New York state, represents in a
circular dated Albany, March 4, 1908,
as being 'hopelessIy insolvent." This
was the condition found by the official
examiners, with whose report the State
Attorney General on February IA an
nounced his concurrence. By another
document received by Commissioner
Campbell it is seen that the company
is in a hole for s1,717,1 ,114.73, such being
the deficiency given in the balance
sheet struck.
On February Is, Z. S. Circuit Judge
Ward appointed three receivers of the
and on February 10 the State
Supreme Court appointed two tempo
rary receivers thereof. The following
statement by the Attorney General,
issued on February 81, will be of inter
est to local policyholders:

in judgment in favor of the plaintiff,

the case of the People Of the State of
