Nebraska ana the Firing Line.

SpringfleId (MassI FtepubHcau'
The success OF the contest against MI
Cannon in the house has been the sudden
making OF another gentleman from Ne
braska-Mr. Norris. To have been the
author OF the famous Norris resolution
whose introduction precipitated the memor-
able struggle, Is enough to insure him
footnote at least in our political history.
The achievement may also be capitalized
in a United states senatorship. Mr.. Nor
ris is comparatively new member OF
congress, having served since 1903. His
home town is McCook, a name which has
fighting associations. Nebraska seems 70
be on the firing lire OF American politics
to stay.

M. S. GRINBAUM PASSES
AWAY IN GERMANY

A cablegram announcing the death of
NJ s. Grinbaum was received in town
yesterday morning. The message, which
had been sent from Berlin, was signed
by the deceased widow and gave no
particulars as to the cause of death.
Mr.. Grinbaum, who was between
seventy and eighty years of age, was
well known in Honolulu, having been
identified with its commercial life for
many years. For nearly half a century
he was head of the firm of Grinbaum
4 Co. plantation agents and importers
of general merchandise. The firm was
originally started by an uncle of Mr..
Grirhaum IN 1865, and then, about ten
wears afterwards, the business was
taken over by NJ. Louisson and the
deceased. who afterwards became the
head Of the company. the business OF
which was wound up in 1908.
Both he and his wife travelled great
deal. and the family at no time ever re-
sided here except for the purpose OF
spending the winter months.

CLOSING PLAY IS
BEST OF SEASON

The regret Honolulans generally viii
have in the departure next week of
George B. Howard and his talented
players, who are concluding a ten
weeks enga gement at the New Or
pheum, is increased in attending their
closing production, Tennessee S Part
ner,' put on for the first time last
night. This breezy western drama
proves to be the best thing the COM
pany has given its patrons, being so
pronounced by good house. The play,
while western in plot and setting, is
free from gunplays and explosions try
ing to nervous people, while the assign
ment of the various parts gives suitable
characters to the different members to
depict.
The main honors of the piece go to
Robert McKim. who held cases and
dealt square. Miss Jonson had the part
of the sweet southern girl, the character
and lines suiting her, perhaps, better
. than any thing She has yet appeared in
( here, while Miss Dunn. as a virago, was
equally at home as when playing the
high society lady. Mr.. Howard was
1.-The greatest liar IN camp and was
the cause for the most of the comedy.
/ The other members of the company are
well east. and each does a full share in
making the closing play a decided sue
cess.

ROGERS'S EXECUTORS IN SUIT.
Brokers Obtain Permission to Sub
stitute Them as Defendants.

Keech, Loew & Co., brokers, obtained per-
mission from Justice Hendrick in the Su-
preme Court yesterday to substitute the
executors of III. II. Rogers as defendants
in an action brought against the late vice.
president of the Standard Oil Company, in
which the charge of the conversion of GER
tain bonds is made by the plaintiffs.
The complaint of Keech, Loew & Co is
that in Nav 1906. Charles L. Spier who
was confidential man to II. H. Rogers. a
few days before he was killed under mys-
terious circumstances in his home on Staten
Island gave the firm security for certain
stock one hundred per cent coupons of the
Seacoast Traction Company, valued at $780,
OoO and eighty first mortgage bonds of
the Asbury Park & Sea Girt Railway Com
pany, valued at $4,000. These according to
the plaintiff, were delivered to pledge the
payment of some Anaconda. mining stock
They assert that they had these securi-
ties in their possession and had loan on
them.
When Spier's account with Kecch Loew
& Co. was closed the books showed that
he owed the firm s64604. In some manner
which is not explained the plaintiffs al
lege Mr.. Rogers wrongfuly obtained the
securities given to them by Mr.. Spier and
converted them to his own use
