WHIsKEY THAT DID 1T.
Honolulu, Oct. q, 10

i OCI. 4ty
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin, u,
Sir:-My, only excuse for. sending
this communication is that it may pro-
vide little food for thought
Conboy drifted into Frisco along in
the eighties; he brought with him a
rich Irish brogue and a magnificent
physique. Weight 1876 pounds, feet
IL inches, comprised part of the de-
scription entered opposite his name
when he was appointed an officer on
the police force. Absolutely honest
and fearless, with the sunny nature
of child, we all soon learned to love
him - loved him for his quaint Irish
brogue, for, the straight, manly way
he had of looking you in the eye when
addressing you; for the queer stories
he told around the station stove-stor-
les of the "ould" country, of the Ban
shee cry and the death-wail. Loved
him because to him the "ould" coun-
try was ireland, and ireland meant
home; and home was a little humble
cot, where white-haired woman stood
in the doorway at eve shading her eyes
with her hand, looking longingly down
a narrow road for her returning boy.
Conboy was by nature peace
guardian; he never forgot face. At
glance he would read what was be-
hind it like an open book. Quick and
impulsive, charitable to a fault,-such
is the Conboy + shall ever remember.
His promotion was slow. First SER
geant, then a lieutenant, and at last
the coveted position as captain of po-
tiiee.
And then the fatal day of the trag-
edy, when, at the end of a drunken
carouse, he slipped, falling to the
floor; a friendly hand reached to as
sist him to arise Crased by drink, he
fired the shot which ended life. and
for which crime he is serving seven
years in a California state prison.

lowing morning when l entered the

PROMOTION WORK FOR MAUI

The Promotion committee is wisely turning
its attention to Maui and beginning an organ
lied effort to exploit the many charms of the
Valley Isle There is only one Kilauea, it is
true, but there is also only one Haleakala, and
the sercery in the eyer-burning fires of the for
mer does not detraet from the splendid scenic
beauties of the latter. 3d. = "~@
Hawaii's tourist traffic has reached such re.
spectacle proportions that it should be catered
to as Systematically and as expertly as the sugar
planters experiment station caters to the fan
cies of highly productive cane The time is pass
ing when tourists will be ready to go home after
an auto tour around Oahu, "A swim at Waikiki,

trip to the volcano. Every island of the four
largest of the group has great natural attrac-
tons As the tourist traffic develops, the Inter

FIRE INSURANCE RATES.
tor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-A few DAYS ago an article in
a San Francisco paper told how. by
the aid OF Mayor Rolph Of that city,
the Merchants Association and the
Chamber of Commerce, fire insurance
rates were beaten down in that city,
a reduction of some 90 per cent. being
accomplished. This again reminds us
of Honolulu's excessive rates. Just
think of II, and per cent. is charg-
ed in Chinatown on buildings not fire
proof and on the merchandise in the
buildings, goods that can be removed
in case of fire, and to a certain extent
generally are. Do YOU hear of our
mayor fighting for reduction in
rates? Is our Merchants Association
or the Chamber of Commerce losing
any sleep over these burdensome
rates-rates so excessive that bust
nessmen cannot afford to insure for
half value, or. in cases, not at all?
Not much! The membership of both
these associations here are in the
business. They get the premiums.
There is scarcely a large concern in
Honolulu that does not represent
some large insurance company. 1t is
our own people that fix and maintain
these high rates. Our large import
ers sell goods to the Chinese trade
land to others) and then insure the
stock, or both stock of goods and tho
building! At the high rate charged,
the buyer can afford to insure for
only limited amount. In many in
stances las in a case that came under
my observation a few days, since) the
merchant insures for only say half the
value of the goods in stock. The high
rates charged tS per cent? prevents
more insurance, with the result often
of the losses falling partly on the
creditor, in case of the entire de-
struction of the goods and property.
Now, Mr.. Editor, claim that rates
here, as elsewhere, should be based
on the risk The future must be judg-
ed by tho past. There have been no
big fires in this city in many, many
years; IN fact only one in twenty
four or twenty five years, and that
was caused by the government. If
no fires, then why these high rates,
so high that they preclude protec-
AOH AO Cd VI oily consequence
in quarter of century, why rates
so high that a clear profit of A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS is made by the
insurance companies annually, as gov
eminent statistics show? At a re-
duction OF % per cent. more insur-
ance would result, with greater profit
probably, as the danger or fires would
not increase. Let rates come down.
Let our MAYOR get busy and do what
the mayor in San Francisco accom-
plished. Nothing said, nothing done.
Where do our candidates for mayor Of
this city stand on this very important
question? There are many Chinese
voters, and they are asking the ques-
ton. There is no justification for
present burdensome rates. They pre-
vent a man from getting fire protec-
ton, and also too often cause a loss
to his creditors How is it, Mr.. Par
kerr The government gets $40 taxes
ION $1,000 worth Of property : in the
city The insurance companies get
$50 for the same property per annum

CUBAN TROUBLES

seriously concerned in what may be another rev.

for there seems no doubt that
Washington is faroring the Conservatives
against the Liberals. ....s $50 ~. !.
Gen. Mario Menocal, Conservative candidate
for president against Gomez, now president, is
getting the active support of the Americans in
Cuba, even those in official life. The Washing,
ton Herald, closely in touch with the Taft poll
ces goes so far as to declare editorially that the
Cuban administration has been warned that a

For three years and half the Liberals have
turned the government revenues to their own
ends, which bear every Indication of extreme

viii bring on another revolution and interven-
ton by the United States rather than allow the
Conservatives to get into power on an honest
administration platform.
Commenting on the situation, the Washing
ton Herald says:
Convinced the futility of his appeals to the Gu
ban authorities Gen. Menocal the head of Pres
dent Gomez has laid his complaint of unfair treat
