the speech before the third party

the progressive ideas upon which his
campaign for the Presidency is to be
founded.
The former President intimates
that he intends to tear the Bryan
theories to tatters. Roosevelt refers
to Bryan as q platform orator who
shoots arrows in the sky. He argues
that Bryan expounds vague ideas in
his effort to strike q solution of the
economic problems of the day, ideas
thatS as the colonel puts it, would be
as harmful as the free silver bubble
if carried into effect. The entire
Democratic platform, he insists, re-

crisis facing the country.
AS to Ryanism the colonel will
maintain in his speech that the

BARK AT MERCY
OF BIG |CEBERGS
Crew Tells Thrilling Story of
Being in Danger for
Sixty Days.

HONOLULU, July officiating a
dramatic tale of danger and hardship
amid the treacherous reefs and ice
bergs south of Cape Horn. Captain
Josselyn and his crew of twenty men
arrived here yesterday aboard the
bark Nuuanu, 14s days out from New
York.
While rounding Cape Horn a hurri-
cane stripped the Nuuanu of all her
sails and drove her hopelessly toward
the south.
This continued for nearly three
weeks, with the bark leaking badly,
while hundreds of icebergss lowered
about. Every mar on board expected
the vessel would be crushed between
the mountains of ice.
Water flowed into the hold at a rate
beyond the efforts of the men at the
pumps, the vessel became water
logged and the cargo was thrown
overheard. When the bark at last
f1oated free from the ice a slow pas
sage was made to Stanley, Falkland
Islands, where the craft was beached
for repairs. ,|
For sixty days the crew existed on
quarter rations. Half the men were
ill and all were SO emaciated that
they resembled skeletons. When the
bark had been repaired and recalked
the passage to this port was made.

DEDUCTS ANOTHER
ITEM IN TAX LIST
Prudential Holds Premium
Paid-in-Advance Fund Is
Not AssessabIe.

Another item of it's personality re-
garded as taxable by the city has
been deducted by the Prudential In
surance Company in a statement filed
with the tax board.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fund
allowed by the State Tax Board last
year as assessable. and amounting
to $3.50, 633, forms the newes point in
the controversy between the Pruden-
tial and the local authorities, which
began when the deferred dividends
were put on the personal property
list. The company questions the right
of the city to tax $50, 1921. according
to it's statement.
OF the total mou $2S, 917, 81 is
in the deferred dividend account.
Two years ago the city successfully
levied on this account, but last veal
former Commissioner of Banking and
Insurance Vivian NJ. Lewis placed
the item in the company liability list
rather than under assets. and as a
exemption was claimed. The
case was placed in the hands of City
Attorney Boggs and the question is
now pending decision in the courts.
The Prudential statement shows that
the item is still regarded as unas-
sessable.
The city ratables will be. affected
by the forthcoming decision. provided
that a decision is handed down before
The ratables are turned in to the
County Tax Board before Tuesday,
August 2. If the courts do not de-
eide the contest before that date, the
ratables will go in minus the big lift,
the deferred dividend giyes.
The other deduction made in the
statement is on the unearned interest
and ent paid in advance items of
the company figuring $46O, I'll. This
was. disallowed by the State
board last year.
The Tax Board will await the re-
turn of Mr.. Boggs from his vacation
before deciding just what to do about
the three deductions.
