little OF the fate OF her own father
and the crew OF the Santa Maria, but,
from the atrocities which she wit
messed in later years she feels rs.
sured that her parent and his COM
panions suffered horrible death.
Captain Tapham states that 1t is
bis intention of taking his prisoners
direct to the mainland, as he is
afraid of delay of a trip to Honolulu,
fully realizing that his captives are
dangerous men who viii stop at
nothing The Keokuk, he advises, is
well provisioned and can make San
Francisco easily.
Miss D.Ortez it is expected will
prove sufficient witness to cause the
prompt execution of the pirates whose
number, as indicated in the latest
wireless, is twenty-five.

Federal officials --and waterfront
habitnes are wildly excited at the
wireless news received from the rev.
enue cutter KeOluk to the effect that
the pirate band Of .'blackbirders
that has terrorized the small islands
which dot the South Seas finally has
been captured It is believed that
the remaining members of the Bully
Hayes gang may be known to num-
Der of the oid-timers on the water
front.
Additional wireless advices re-
ceiyed this morning lend touch Of
pathos and romance to the story OF
the capture or the brigands. Captain
Tapham reporting that beautiful
young girl Is among the captives and
that she mas been member Of the
brigand gang for the past ten years,
having been captured as child OF
Ave when her fathers trading schoon-
er fell foul OF the outlaws of the deep.
During her years of captivity, says
the wireless. the child has grown into
4 remarkably beautiful young woman
and is the adored Of all the rugged
band Of outlaws.
EsteIla D'Ortez is the young wom-
an, her father having been the cap
tain Of the trading schooner Santa
Maria, which left Manila some ten
years ago and which has never been
heard from since. Miss D'Ortez has
informed Captain Tapham that her
father had a sister living in Honolulu,
whose maiden name was Inez
D'Ortez. Captain Tapham requests
the local authorities to make an eff
fort to locate the missing relative.
The young woman, advises the Keo-
kuks captain, is pure Castillian and
Las made numerous efforts to COM
municate with passing vessels with
cut success Notwithstanding the fact
that her rowing, robbing companions

With the bones in his foot crushed
from an automobile accident which
occurred while he was attempting to
crank his machine, Zeno K Myers,
manager of the Home Insuranee Com
.pany, was taken to the Queens Hos
.pital this morning. After an exami-
nation of his foot it was found neces-
sary to amputate a part OF il.
Physicians at the hospital stated
this afternoon that the operation was
entirely successful. They said that
only a small part of the front Of the
foot had been taken of, that a second
operation would not be necessary, and
that it was believed he would recover
soon.
: The accident occurred when Mr..
Myers was attempting to crank his
machine before leaving his home for
his Office.
As he drew up the crank, the ma
chine is said to have lurched forward,
crushing his foot Several of the
small bones were broken and the
flesh badly cut and bruised.
1t was at first thought that it
would be necessary to remove his en-
tire foot. Not until a careful exami-
nation had been made was it decided
that only small portion of the foot
need be removed
How long Mr.. Myers will be con-
fined at the Queens Hospital could not
be said this afternoon. 1t was stat
ed, however, that he was resting cas-
lily with every indication of his speedy
recovery.
The reason given for the sudden
lurch of the machine is that Mr..
Myers had failed to throw out his
gears when attempting to crank the
car.

POSTAL BANK
TO open HERE
ON JANUARY z

Honoluln's postal savings bank will
be opened January 2, 1914, according
to Information received by Postmast-
er J. q Pratt from the department In
Washington. At the same time the
tensother postal banks in Hawaii will
be opened, possibly under the direc-
ticn Of q member of the department.
It is the belief of the postmaster
that the institution of this bank will
mean a great deal of new work for
the local Office as he is of the opinion
that 1t win be largely patronized by
foreigners and by enlisted mcn It
is probable that the present postoffice
accommodations will not permit OF
the bank being installed in the post
Office, in which event an effort will
be made to secure the Honolulu hale
which, with some repairs, would make
a desirable location.
According to the men in charge of
the savings bank department, as COM
municated to Postmaster Pratt, 1t was
feared that the government saving
institutions would work a hardship
upon the commercial banks. This
however, is denied In fact, the op-
posite is pointed out as the result.
When funds in the postal savings
banks reach the deposit limit they are
removed to commercial institutions.
The system was established Janu-
airy I. 1911, with one bank in each
territory and state on the mainland.
Today there are $4,000 offices with de-
posits aggregating $35, 5,000, 900 besides
$780, 900 that have been invested IN
postal bonds. The total number of
depositors is 350,0O0.
These banks have proved especial
ly popular with foreigners who have
been accustomed to using them in
their own country and on this ground
Postmaster Pratt bases his ideas of
big local business. In the case of the
enlisted men he is of the opinion that
many will Withdraw their deposits
from mainland banks with the estab-
lishment of local institutions, owing
to the fact that it is not permissible
to have accounts at two different
postal savings banks.

CHANGE IN REPRESENTATION

The World is worried TO death
because Republicans have decided to
reduce the representation In the M.
ti3nal conventions. The plan proposed
Is eminently fair and applies to all
sections alike. II provides for repre-
lsentation from every Congressional
district in the country. That is to say,
every district that casts a Repub-
lican vote in excess of 1900
25 per (one-fourth) of the total vote
shall have two delegates, while those
who fall below shall have but ono.
The plan is eminently fair and APP
plies to all sections alike
But Democrats excla4m that the
Republican party is DISTINGUISHING the
negroes in the South. Nothing is
farther from the truth, as the Repub.
lican party has fought the Democrat
ic party ON that issue and will con.
tinue to fight it, more determinedly
than ever. Then they insinuate that
West Virginia is Southern state
and that being the case. the Republi-
cans propose to disfranehise them
here. They know this is false, but
that Is the Democratic way. Tha.
party would starve to death on diet
of truth and sound money.

state where there are fair election
