HIS Useful Life.

John Bigelow who has been termed
"Grandest of the Grand Old Men of
AmeFica,' and whose death was re-
ported by cable yesterday, was born
at Maiden, Ulster county, New York,
November 20, 1917, and spent most of
the years of his home life within a
few miles of his birthplace. He died
at Highland Falls, little city just out
side the West Point Military Academy
reservation.
During his ninety-fve years of life
Mr.. Bigelow's career was most varied.
Graduating from Union College in 1885,
he married Jane Tunis, to which union
two children were born, John Jr. and
Poultney Bigelow. Mr.. Bigelow was
admitted to the bar in 1889, practised
law in his native town for a number
of years and was appointed an inspec-
tor of Sing Sing prison in l845.
His literary career, one of the long
est and most brilliant in all the story
of American letters, began when he be-
came one Of the editors of the New
York Evening Post in ls49. This work
he resigned to accept a place in the
consular service at Paris in 1861. Three
years later he was made minister to
France and remained abroad until 1867
Returning TO New York be became
prominent In politics and was known
as the close friend and intimate adviser
of Governor Samuel J. Tilden. With
the eclipse and death of Mr.. Tilden
Mr., Bigel0w left the political arena and
entered earnestly into literary work 30
which be devoted the many remaining
yeaTs OF bis life.

4 tentative decision that tho eight
hundred and fifty Spanish immigrants
in the main corral at Quarantine Isl.
aud are virtually contacts with some Of
the cases that occurred in the "out.
side Spanish camp" will result in the
entire eighteen hundred being held at
least until after Christmas, providing
that the decision is not reversed in the
meantime. Even taking that possibil.
ity into confederation, extra medical
work that must now be done win hard
ly permit their release before that time.
A conference between President
Pratt Of the board Of health, and Doc
tors Ramus, Mccoy and Marshall of
the federal service was held yesterday
morning, the former calling attention
to the fact that the case in the out
side camp had occurred in the house
nearest the main corral and that those
confined in both camps had come in
actual contact, kissing each other and
talking through the intervening fence,
SO that to all purposes, those in the
main corral were as much contacts as
those in the outside camp. Doctor Nc
Coy and the others agreed with his
view.
1t was then decided that the entire
eighteen hundred be revaccinated and
this labor commenced yesterday. This
will take several days at least, and if
at the end of that time it is determined
that the danger is nil there is still
the reexamination that must be made
for trachoma under the immigration
L1aws.

SENATE RATIFIES

WASHINGTON, December 2O.-The
senate yesterday afternoon unanimous
ly ratified the notification of President
Taft to the Russian government abro-,
eating the treaty existing between the
two countries. 1t is not believed that
this action viii in any way affect com

ST. PETERSBURG, December 90
Officials of the central government are
discussing the situation surrounding the
formulation of a new treaty with the
United States. The general opinion is
unfavorable towards the Jews, who are
accredited with stirring up the trouble
which ended in the abrogation of the
one previously existing.

SPEEDY LUKA BACK
FROM TANNING ISLAND

Bringing additional proof of what
Kpling says anent the wakefulness of
the British empire being almost per-
petual, the speedy schooner Luka arriv-
led from Tanning Island yesterday morn
ing. She carried with her a dream of
another harbor for English ironclads In
the little coral speck south of Hawaii.
On board the Luka when she got in
was ]. w. Hayward, representative of
large British syndicate, who went
with Father Emmanuel Rougier when
the copra king and owner of Tanning
Island left here a little more than a
month ago. Mr.. Hayward says he went
down to investigate the copra and
phosphate possibilities of Tanning ISL
and. He declares that in all probabil-
ity the concern he represents will par
chase the island from its present owner.
He has already wired his report on con-
ditions he found in the Island and at
Washington Island which he also visit
ed. He would say nothing at all re-
garding possibilities that the English
government will take over the harbor
of Tanning Island as coaling and re-
pair station for the English Pacific
feet.
Captain Miller of the Luka is full
of the wonders of his trip. Never be-
fore, he says, has he seen anything
like the fish that abound about the ISL
and, and he tells of wonderful fresh
water lake he saw on Washington ISL
and. In the lake he added, are thou
sands of fish. He believes that the wa
ter Is in the crater of an extinct vol
eano.

New York Police Commissioner

HAS BUT TWO POLICE GUARDS
Taft Traverses City and Makes
Three Speeches-WaIdo
Makes One.

NEW YORK, December 20-A SEN
satioh was caused in this city late yes
terday afternoon when it was learned
that the police authorities had taken
none of the extra precautions to guard
the President on his arrival in this city
from Washington.
President Taft, upon leaving his
train, was met by no special guard
whatsoever and traversed the city to
his hotel accompanied only by two BIZ
cycle policemen.
One shock was followed by another
when Police Commissioner Waldo, in
answer to queries as to why the pre-
cautions had been neglected, answered
that President Taft was no better
than the mayor of the city and needed
no more protection than was necessary
for the latter official.
During his tour through the city, the
President made three speeches before
large crowds and was at no time attend
ed by more than two guards provided
him by orders of the police commits
sioners.
WASHINGTON, December I9.-Af-
ter cabinet meeting today it was re-
ported that President Taft has decided
to recommend a downward revision of
the wool tariff. The President has left
for New York.

.KUEAIAU COMPANY
AGAIN VICTORIOUS

Judge Cooper yesterday afternoon
sustained the demurrer of Albert Hor-
ner and Kukaiau Plantation Company
against the writ of mandamus fled by
Robert Horner to compel the president
to call an annual meeting of the com
pany for the election of officers and
transact other important business.
This only puts off the matter short
time longer, for Attorneys Castle and
Olson, representing the plaintiff, imme-
diately filed other documents calling
for the meeting in other terms.
The argument yesterday was wholly
on technical points and there was a
galaxy of legal talent such as is not
oftea seen in one case in the local
Courts.

"The system put into operation by
the new laws seems unduly complicat.
ed, and is somewhat difficult of analy-
sis, wrote the attorney. ''The prac-
tical effect is that the proportion of the
tax on real and personal property to
which the city and county is entitled
is limited to an amount equivalent to
what would be realized from a tax of
one-half of one per cent for current
expenses, and one-siXth of one per cent
for permanent improvements. The city
prior to 1911 was entitled to one-half
of the income tax in said city and coun-
ty, but under the new law this source
of income has been cut off, The city

in haste to have their legal bonds brok-
en- before the Christmas season in order
that they might celebrate the glad new

Caroline Kawahe was granted di-

ground of cruelty; Aki Oda from Gihe

John, cruelty; Charles Sorenson from
Rosie, infidelity; such were the DEGREES
ground out by the divorce mill during
the day.
Other couples looking for legal rene
dies for their domestic troubles were
many, filing actions for divorce yes

These included Mary H. Reed who
wants a divorce from William Reed
on the ground Of non-support; Alice
Peters from w. K. Peters, cruelty and
non-support; Inzo Izumihara from Ma
kano, adultery, and Emma X. Haalilo
from Kaeo, cruelty.
OF these there is one couple who were
divorced before, Alice Peters and her
husband, but after the ruling of the

Additional revenue it is true is

of 1911, which provides that all liquor

The final chapter in the career Of

marriage Of Annie Keith Robinson
Long to the ex.marine and police officer,
