Insurance Commissioner s Report
Leads to Error in Deduction
An Explanation.

Editor Advertiser:--I your article
published this morning under the head.
ing Thousands Paid for Insurance
you say, speaking of "Marine Insur-
ance,' that "thc premiums paid last
year show a marked decrease in the
rate while the total amount written
was greater" This does not quite
agree with actual facts. In no branch
of insurance can you divide premiums
collected in the Territory during ca
lendar year by amounts written and
use the result in arriving at rise or
fall of the premium rate for any one
year. The average rate depends on the
classes of risks which have been in.
sured.
For instance, in the present ease
trend in most parts of the world, iIa-
wall excepted, but there have been no
reductions here to my knowledge. How
ever, there has been more and more
freight shipped, by steamer and less
by sailing vessel, more freight in pro-
portion has been brought from the West
Coast and other nearby countries and
less from the East and from foreign
countries.
This accounts for the difference in
Iaverage-rates shown by the insurance
commissioners figures for 1912 as com
pared to those of previous years.
Yours truly,
INSURANCE AGENT.

EXCURSION To
H|LO PLANNED
See Hawaii First" Policy Is
Heartily Endorsed by AID Club |;
Excursion Committee Is Named
to Aid in Making First Event
q Success.

As direct response TO Lorrin A..
Thurston's address at the AID Club
luncheon yesterday to "See Hawaii
First, - the club Immediately proposed
to work up an excursion TO Hilo and
the Volcano, and a committee consist.
ing OF George b. Curtis, Harry Strange
and Charles X. Frazier was named to
plan an excursion campaign.
Mr.. Thurston talked on his favorite
topic of ''Sce Hawaii First stating
that, as the main industry of the ISL
ands is threatened, the Islands would
have to look for other means of rev
cnue. The tourist business appeared
to be one of the assets which could
be greatly developed. He said the
promotion committee was doing spleH
did work in attracting tourists TO the
Islands, and was doing it with a very
small amount Of money. He believed
the promotion work should be more
literally supported.
He believed also, that people who
reside here should be taught to realize
the wonders that are to be seen on the
other Islands, SO that when they plan
to travel, they should "See Hawaii
First. He went over the publicity
plans of the Hilo Board Of Trade for
the campaign for increasing tourist
travel to the Island of Hawaii. He
praised the spirit of the Hilo business
men, who, when approached for funds
to make the campaign, responded al
most to a man.
He said that while Hilo appeared to
be small out-island port it has a
great future. 1t has been but short
time, he said, since it received its first
foreign vessel, which landed cargo
valued at 100000.
Mr.. Thurston described the riches of
Hawaii s scenery, and particularly
dwelt upon the Volcano of Kilauea and
the beautiful forest scenery near by.
He told of the Rainbow Tails and the
'boiling potsn near Hilo. He spoke
of its fine railroad system, and fine
roads, fine steamer service, and scenery
along both means of transportation
that could not be seen anywhere else
in the Islands.
The excursion committee will be aid
ed by John NJ. Giles, who is here from

The child seemed TO perceive its peril

The ear was finally stopped and the

PROBABLE FELONY
CHARGE FOR KEALOHA
(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HlIO, July 2l.-While the probe
commission has been in session every
day since Thursday, the meetings have
not been very spectacular. Hosts of
South Hilo laborers were put through
examination, and while here and there
important evidence was secured, which
fitted in with the evidence which had
already been gathered, the stuff was
as u whole significant only to those
who are actually engaged in piecing to-.
gether the evidence.
On Saturday the commission went
of on tangent for while, its atten-
ton having been directed to the
crushed rock accounts, which were the
basis of Il report from Gooding Field
when he made his investigation for the
board of trade. The commission is
seeking evidence from all persons who
bought rock from the county, and it
win check all the transactions which it
can learn OF against the records which
it has found in the county offices.
These are, however, so faulty and
poorly kept, that the task is very
difficult one.

mission will return to the South Hilo

John Kealoha is still the goat of the
week and it is likely tha1 suit will be
filed against him for the recovery of
some of the money which it is alleged
was lost through him. An inyestiga-
tion is also being made to get together
facts on which to base felonious
charge against Kealoha in the not very

OFFERS CITY
GOOD ADVICE
Denver Attorney Who Fought En-.
forcement Of Public Improve
ment Law Similar to That in
Force in Honolulu Explains
How Danger Can Be Avoided.

Joshua Grozier of Denver, Colorado,
one of the best known corporation law
ycrs in the West and who is guest
at the Moana Hotel Is much interested
in the law passed by the last legisla-
turc which provides for municipal i'm.
provcments such as streets and side
walks through the creation of improve
ment districts and the issuance of long
term bonds to pay for the work.
The law in question is modelled af.
ter the Denver law to a great extent,
and Mr.. Grozier is an authority on
the statute, because for number Of
years he represented property owners
who singly and in huis contested the
DEGREES creating the improvement dis
tricts.
Mr.. Grozier won the eases for the
majority of his clients by fighting the
eases into the United States Supreme
Court and secured a ruling there which
resulted in the city of Denver being
forced to make several large refunds
to property owners
1t is because of this fact, Mr. Gro
zier is interested, although he considers
the law an excellent one to secure i'm
provcmcnts for II city when property
applied.
Gives Good Advice.
"'rho one big thing to be considered
in enforcing this law,' said Grozier,
sis to be certain that all the property
owners interested have been given q
hearing before the district is created
and the tax rate imposed.
"Whilc the law in Denver calls for
such hearings, they were not given in
number of cases and ON the failure
of the city to abide by this statute |
based my contests. The position of the
contestants | represented, was that they
had been deprived of property with
out due process of law and public
hearing, and the United States Supreme
Court upheld my contention that this
was in violation of the constitution.
Urges Public Hearings.
80 the only thing YOU will hayo
to guard against here, in my opinion,
is that one point, and this can easily
he done by seeing to it, that the prop.
crty owners interested do get full,
fair and free public hearing
Mr.. Gr0zicr came to Honolulu in
part, as result of the energetic boost
ing by III. II. Tammen, owner of the
Denver Post, who has visited here twice
and loses no. opportunity of advising
his friends TO come.
"Tammen did not exaggerate at all, f"
