Cancellation Requested.

On January :, 1914, Governor Fetch
er by letter requested a cancellation
of my bond and the substitution OF an
other and stated that he based his re-
quest upon information furnished him
! by me as insurance commissioner. At
| that time the question concerning the
surrender and cancellation of stock was
under consideration by the attorney
general. l replied that l felt the infor-
nation furnished by me did not war
rant such a request If the stock matter
had the effect claimed by the company
and that | felt the commissioners
should assume that it had that effect
until we had received an opinion from
the attorney general to the contrary.
Under date of January Il he renewed
his request and stated that if | did not
comply with his request within ten days
he should assume that I declined to
do SO, and for the first time | learned
that he claimed that ] had failed to
make disclosure of Il material fact
which was that three of the four re-
lnsuring companies were not admitted
to do an insurance business in the
state at the time they were accepted
as suretics on my bond. And in that
connection he stated that he would
not have accepted them had he known
: the facts. As courteously as | knew
= how | denied that / had tried to sup
: press information, and suggested that
: our law did not require reinsuring com
' panies to be admitted to do business
y in the state, that their obligations
were contracts of indemnity and not
Of insurance, were so treated by oul
o law. and so recognized by other states
t But l told him in my reply that
It would try to bring about the admission

k panes so that the situation might b.

OPEN LETTER BY DEAVITT.
(ContiHucd from Page ~

t0fney General Brown Tor the latter S
consideration.
At the time the bond was presented
for approval no question had arisen
concerning the solvency of the Ameri-
can Fidelity company or of any of the
relnsuring companies. AS l was con-
tinuously engaged with the session of
the legislature from October until late
in February and Immediately thereaf-
ter in the preparation and trial of the
railroad appraisals before the board
of appeals, it was not until April, 1913,
that l had an opportunity to examine
into the affairs of the American Fidel-
ity company. At that time I found
that on account of large losses accruing
in the business of insuring employers
against injuries to their workmen that
the stockholders of the company were
liable to suffer some loss on their in
vestment, although the interests Of pol
icy holders and creditors were not in
jeopardy.
Examined the Company.
/ advised my Reconnaissance, Hon.
! Guy w. Bailey, concerning the situa-
| ton, and was assured by the company
| officials that the situation would be
| taken in hand, and l was following
| the situation when in July, 1913, Gov.
| ernor Fletcher called the insurance com
hmissioners together and inquired for in
formation. At the suggestion of Mr.
| Bailey we proceeded to make a thor
| ough examination of the company, the
last one prior to that time having
| been made by the insurance depart
ments of New York, Massachusetts ant
L. INoI,r
i 1912. In August, 1913, the commits
sioners found an impairment of CAPT

/ $750,000 capital and called upon tn
company to make good the impairmen
= forthwith. ThereupOn several confer
enees were had with representatives o
the company, and with other insuranc
departments, and with Governor Fletch
er until December, 1913, when tn

a action was Immediately brought fc

e effect that the transaction had the eft

insurance commissioners, made an e
animation of the law upon the subje
and we were satisfied that the transa

The Markets


The hop market woke up with the
opening of the week and 600 bales
changed hands Monday at prevailing
prices, 10 to 16 cents. Most of them
were bought for the English market.
Ralph Williams bought the Squire Far
rar crop of 376 bales at 10 3.S cents,
and Louis Lachmund bought the Will
liam Shafer lot of 1876 bales at Inde-
pendenee at 15A cents. No business
was reported in the way of contracts.
Prices remain unchanged in wheat and
there is little or no business. This
condition is caused by the uncertainty
of the crop in Europe. Conditions
there are abnormal, and if they con.
tinue what promised to be pnenomen-
al crop may yet prove disappoint-
ment. A large European trade in Pa
cifiee coast apples is predicted on the
opening of the Panama canal, which,
according to recent reports, is a thing
of only a few days now. California
Strawberries are in good supply, but
there will be few more shipments as
the Oregon berries are coming and and
they are as far superior to the Cali
fornia "brevets" as can be imagined
They belong to the same genus, but
not to the same class. Eggs went up
a cent yesterday and it is probable
they will not go below that price again
this year. An advance of 10 cents a
hundred in sugar to meet the rise in
the east, announced Monday, is eE-
pected.

tiary; and frequent were the cases
where large bodies of men would
petition to have indictments against
thieves dismissed, if they happened to
be prominent.
In the general sobbing no phase of
vice was overlooked. Bastards achiev-
ed high consideration. A movement
was started, chiefly by spinsters, to
give bastards a share of the inherit.
ance 1t was claimed that the move
ment was for the, public veal. But
finally the good wives and children
found the family inheritance so much
imperiled, descriptive of this sobbing
movement, he, the honest citizen, found
that he was suffering from expropria-
tion; and he suddenly determined to
get from under the load, and allow the
long-interrupted evolutionary course to
again have its sway. This citizen, who
was carrying the whole load, poked his
head out Of the busy little world of his
life, and took quick survey of what
he had unwittingly been harnessed to,
and he proceeded to uprise in what
turned out to be a great uprising.

SACRAMENTO WOULD BE
CITY WITH OCEANPORT

Sacramento, Cal, May 5.-Ambitious
to make Sacramento an ocean port,
local business men interested in the
cargo with which the steamship Saliva
tor left Honolulu few days ago have
arranged to bring the craft up the river
to unload her instead Of transferring
the $4,000 cases Of canned pineapples
it is bringing, at San Francisco.
1t was admitted that towing the
Salvador up the river will be an ex-
pertinent and some river men doubted
if it would prove a profitable one. The
interests back of it held, however, that
il succeeded it would mean big saw
ing ON all Sacramento cargoes and
would be well worth repeating when
ever large enough shipments were ar
irving and departing and the stage of
water was favorable.
That it cannot be done with any
thing but shallow draft river boats
when the water is low was conceded.
The stage at present is comparatively
high, though not at flood, on account
of the melting of the mountain SHOWS.
The Grace Dollar, cOastwise vessel,
made the trip up river to Sacramento
in February, when the water was even
higher than at present, and expert
eneed no difficulty. 1t remains to be
seen if the Salvador will be equally
successful
1t will be the first time trans
Pacific craft has made the experiment
and it was estimated the voyage from
Honolulu to Sacramento would take
about 25 daya

LAND BOARD WEAK PROM
OVERDOSE OF DRY SALT

Governor West, Secretary Olcott and
State Treasurer Kay are all hors de
combat, whatever that is, this morning,
due to an overdose of salt Yesterday
brought from Albert and Summer lakes.
They absorbed about three million dol
lars worth of it at cost price f. o. b.
atthe lakes, and at least $5,0OO,000
worth at market rates. Oleott dug mp
a family forgiving sort of grin as he
contemplated another dose of the same
unpurified salts this AFTERNOON. The
board will take the matter up again,
and while it has no hopes of anything
being done, it faces its duties man;
fully and will stay ON the job, if nee
essary, until the lakes are dry. Mr..
Wallace, having shot off ais pyroteeh-
nical onomasticon, viii not be present,
and the other parties having slept on
their rights, so to speak, will declare
an armistico and submit their claims to
the mediation of the-bored.

According to the full and most ex.
eellent showing Of this matter made by
Mayor Sleeves in his annual message
to the city council last January, in
which the matter was stated with the
fullest detail, the bonded indebtedness
OF the city and the time the bonds fall
due are as follows:
An issue of 100000 bonds, issued in
January, 1894, running 20, refunded
this year and due in 1884. They bear
s per cent interest and were originally
issued to take up warrants made nee
essary by the failure of the city as.
sessment law of 1898.
Another issue of $4,000 was a re.
funding of the issue originally made
to pay for building the wooden bridge
across the Willamette that washed out
in 1889. This debt was refunded in
April of this year, and has 10 years
to run, falling due in 1924 and bearing
5 PEI cent interest. An issue of $19,.
600, made for constructing the Marion
and Ferry street sewer system, due in
1920, draws 3 per cent interest. An
issue Of $65,050, made by 'the Hayseed
Council" +" in 1899, refunded in 1909
and due in 1920, bears per cent in.
terest. An issue of $4,000 for the
city's one-taird of the cost of buiIdins
