MARINES OFF
FOR THE COAST
OFFICERS AND MEN LEAVE PORT
ON TRANSPORT AT
LATE HOUR.
(From Wednegday,g Advertiser.l )


Without any "pomp or panoply of
war" three officers and two hundred
men of the marine corps who have
been stationed at the marine barracks,
Honolulu, departed for Mare Island
last night at eleven o'clock on the
transport Crook. The marines are not
drawn from Honolulu to go to the
"war" down Mexico-way, but are
merely drawn to the mainland for dis
tributiOn at various stations and upon
warships, and their places will be oe.
cupied in the near future by two hun
dred men sent from mainland bar
racks.
The Crook was a center of interest
throughout the evening for the depart
ing officers of the corps had legion
of friends here. Captain Ramsey
Lieutenant Willis and Lieutenant
Kilgore, the officers accompanying the
detachment, were given royal send
off, which also included Mrs. Ramsey
and Mrs. Willis, two marine corps
matrons, who enjoyed a very wide cir.
Gle of friends. The officers and ladies
regretted they must leave and all ex-
pressed the hope that when Pearl Har
Dor was completed they would be as,
signed there for duty, believing it will
be the model marine post of the coun.
try.
The enlisted men were not without
their friends and the ship was visited
until the hour of sailing by troops of
well wishers.
Among the passengers was Lieut.
Col Samuel W. Dunning, formerly
eommandant oil Fort Shafter, who is
assigned to duty as Acknowledgement
of the Department of the Columbia,
accompanied by Mrs, Dunning; Maj.
Erneste Smith, pay corps, u. S. A.,
who was recently relieved by Major
Cook.

General Madero replied yesterday to

retary of State.
Senior Garza adds that General Diaz
must also agree to grant all reforms de-
manded by the insurrectos. Both sides
must meet on equal terms and witbont

rectos.
senor Garza made this reply this af-
ternoon to the statement from New
York that Senior Limantour would make
terms for the rebels.
"The only president of Mexico that
we now recognize is Francisco I Ma.

HONOLULU NOT
KEEPING ITS PACE
DEMAND FOR HOUSES FAR IN
EXCESS. OF SUPPLY,
SAYS OFFICER.

Honolulu is not keeping pace with
its own growth, and this fact is more
pronounced to army and navy officers
than perhaps to tourists, although the
latter make no secret of the knowledge
that the city does not provide enough
residences for those who apply for
homes for rent.
The influx of army people into Ho-
nolulu during the past two years has
been steady and there is certain to be
new infuN after the affair along the
Mexican border has quieted down and
the movements of troops exchanging
stations can be carried on without in
terruption.
Captain Carter, U. S. A., adjutant-
general of the district of Hawaii, who
arrived On the Crook, among other Of
ticers, has found that Honolulu has few
unoecupied houses and that few are be-
ing built which will be offered for rent
to strangers. 1t has been discovered
that houses in course of construction or
planned are for owners who expect to
occupy them. House hunting has be-
come a game among service officers
which has its disappointments almost
equal to those arising from inaction
along Mexieo's borderline, where the
officers feel they would like to get into
real action.
cit strikes me that the property
owners here are falling to keep pace
with the times,o said Captain Carter
yesterday. "Should there be am influx
of officers here with three or four regi-
ments of infantry and those regiments
ordered into barracks in the town
proper, those officers would require
homes in the residence sections. Of
ficers receive Communication of quarters
ranging from $36 to $75 per month,
according to rank. The officers would
be willing to turn the greater part of
that over as rental for good house,
but, of course, in a desirable location.
believe there is chance for some
one to build homes in a block, or in
several blocks, homes built for sliding
scale of commutation of quarters, and
! feel these would not be vacant any
lime. If one regiment moves out an
other has to come in, Of course. In
Manila, army officers went in on a
building proposition among themselves
and believe II was a paying invest
ment.
"But whatever course IS pursued,
the army officers want houses and whep
they want them, want them badly"

COMPANIES MAKING
TOO MUCH MONEY

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
The ways and means committee of
the house yesterday returned report
on house bill number 179, so prolific
with figures that the senate was stag
gered for moment and passed the
measure on second reading in dazed
sort of a condition, hoping that sena-
tor Fairchild's clerks typewriter had
not tripped in the copying.
The report explains, as careful
analyses of the figures will show, that
the insurance companies have been
making too much money. For this
reason the committee believed that
they ought to pay more taxes. As this
state of mind was shared by the bill
itself the committee and the measure
got along most beautifully. The re-
port is as follows:
Under the law as now in our
statute books, tax of two per cent on
the net income received from premiums
was paid, after deducting all losses paid
in the Territory, allowing as well other
deductions, as reference to the sec
tion will prove.
"The change made is to levy tax
of two per cent upon the gross income.
From figures furnished this committee,
it appears that the fees or tax paid by
insurance companies for the past six
years has been $l96, ,36l.4s; the amounts
collected. as premiums, ETC., for the
same period has been sf,72o,73l.9s, and
the losses paid for the same period, be-
ing fire, marine and life, has been So
221 ,923.12.
Added TO this should be the $780,

taxes, making IA sum total of say, S2,-

nese as the best friends the Hawaiians
ever had among all the peoples who
had come to Hawaii. The two races
had lived harmoniously together, had
heiped each other, had intermarried,
and the products of those marriages
were among the best people in Hawaii
today. He referred to the fact that
there had never been an almshouse in
Hawaii, crediting that to the coopera-
tion of the Chinese and Hawaiians.

President Knudsen said that he

was prepared to introduce resolution
into the senate along the lines spoken

here and be favorably received in
Washington.
Certainly it is better for us to
