THE Abolition of Poverty" was the
subject of a joint lecture delivered
before the Home Club of the Interior
Department last night by Herman
Walker. a member of the executive
staff in the zee of Secretary of the
Interior Lane. and H. Martin Will
Jams, reading clerk of the House OF
Representatives.
Mr.. Walker told of the control of
the nations finances by a group of
banks in Wall Street, explained sew
eral special privileges" and then at
tackled the patent law for it's monopo-
listic and other Objectionable features.
The government grants a patent
on the theory that the article patented
will be of benefit to the people and
will encourage inventors" said Mr..
Walker. But we can count on our
fingers and toes the inventors who
have grown wealthy. The capitalist
who buys the patent makes the real
money.

added turning to the court, and this

A dull red burned under the iron
gray hair of Justice Andrews.

witness will be treated like any other

Mr.. Ivins apologized.
Colonel Tells of Cash.
Coming down to the question of cam
paign contributions, Mr.. WINS read from
the report of the Clapp investigating
committee of the Senate, giving the list
of contributors to Mr.. Roosevelt's 1901
campaign fund from corporations includ-
ing nearly every prominent capitalistic
combination in the country, and from in
dividuals. Mr.. Roosevelt professed little
knowledge of these contributions and in
few cases would he say that he knew
definitely that the contribution had been
made. He agreed. however. that II they
were on the list they had doubtlessly
been made.
The interesting portions of the YER
batim on the campaign contribution
question follow:
O. Did you ever hear of the so-called
Hartman fund amounting about $40. 900?
A. Do you mean the fund raised to help
the election in New York State?
O. No. the fund raised by E. H. Harri-
man towards the close of your campaign
in 1904 for your election to the Presidency
and for the purposes of the national COM
mittee.
was no such fund raised for my election
for the Presidency.
@. Who told you that? .4
Denies Hartman Fund.
A. Mr.. Hartman himself, in the pres
ence of Mr.. Loeb. when ne came over to
Washington and asked Mr.. Cortelyou
about funds, and finally / called Mr.
Loeb, had him to go to telephone and
telephone Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr.. Bliss
to get as much money as possible to
help elect Mr.. Higgins as governor
Q. Did that not also help your vote
in this State?
A. My election was assured at that
time.
@. Have you any idea Of the total Of
these contributions I have asked you
about?
A. Ny memory is that Mr.. cortelyou
told me that our fund was about one half
the size of that Of Mr.. McKin!eY's when
he was elected. and that It was about
$1,000 900. Now am perfectly certain Of
that: you can correct me from any state
ment you have there. my memory IL that
he told me there were four thousand or
five thousand contributors.
At this point Mr.. Twins introduced in
evidence the famous "We-are-practical.

riman.
Continuing the testimony In relation to
the campaign fund Of lSo4. the Colonel
said he had never inquired the names Of
contributors to that fund. He added:

Burglar Tried to
Shoot Policeman
Bad Korean COnfesseS to Series of Bold
RObberies in Plantation Camps
Another Korean Is Jailed.

Captured by police officer NJ. G.
Paschoal as he was in the act of draw
ing a revolver from a specially con-
structed breast pocket, Pyen Kur
Book, Korean house-breaker, is now
in the Wailuku Jail with three indict-
ment confronting him, each charg-
ing second degree burglary. The ar
rest was made near Camp 4, Puunene,
last Thursday. Paschoal was looking
for the man who was suspected of be-
ing responsible for a Puunene rob
berry, when he met him on the road.
The officer was on horseback, when he
accosted the Korean, who immediate
ly made a grab for his gun. Pas
choal jumped from his horse and
grabbed the desperadoe's wrist just as
he pulled the revolver from his pocket
Later the Korean, who is believed
to be Honolulu Lad man, to the great
surprise of the officers began to con-
fess series of burglaries of which
no report had been made but which
proved to be authentic. He took the
police to half dozen houses in the
Pulehu camp at Paia, that he had en-
tered in broad daylight, taking money.
and watches, to the value of $3.50 or
more. He had also robbed several
places in Hamakuapoko, and in Puu-
meme. He carried a bunch of skeleton
keys, and his method of operation was
to unlock the door and walk in, after
wards locking the place behind him.
In no instance had he used force in
effecting an entrance.
The mans case was brought before
the grand jury yesterday, with the re-
suit that three indictments were found
against him. He will be tried next
week.
For Receiving Stolen Goods.
Lei Kong Yong, Korean, in Camp
4, Puunene, was also arrested during
the week for receiving a watch which
had been stolen by Pyen Kur Book.
The man to whom he sold the tinle
piece for 50 grew suspicious on ac-
count of the low price for which the
Korean was willing to part with it
and reported the matter to the police.
1t was through this that the officers
were able to get upon the trail of the
burglar. Lei Kong Yong was tried in
the magistrate court and fined $lJ
and sent to Jail for three months.

Wild West HOld-Up
Takes Place on Maui
Japanese LaSSoed and Pulled From
Horse, Relieved of more than $50.
-Highwaymen Not Identified.

Jerked from his horse by lariat
thrown over his head, as he rode along
the Paia-Makawao road last Monday
night, a Japanese laborer in one of
the Paia camps was robbed of S51.75
by two unknown horsemen. The hold
up took place about II o'clock at
night, and only a short distance out
side of Paia. The Japanese first saw
one of the horsemen near the side of
the road, and being a little uneasy,
spurred his own animal up, intending
to leave the unknown rider behind.
The next thing he knew a rope set
tied about his neck, and he found him
self on the ground with a badly
wrenched shoulder.
Two men, whom he cannot describe,
except that he is sure they are neither
Japanese nor Filipinos, then demand
ed his money, and forced him to give
up his purse containing all he had.
The purse fastened with a combina-
ton, and after trying in vain to open
it, the robbers forced their victim
to do this for them They then order
ed him to get on his horse and to
beat it,"
The victim of the highway robbery
is certain that the rope with which
he was lassoed was leather lariat
as he had his hands on it in effort
to throw it off. From this it believed
by the police that the desperadoes are
cowboys. The police also believe that
they have some clues which will soon
lead to the arrest of the guilty parties.

Insurance Company
BalkS at Motor Boat
Lanai Company Also Can't Get Insur-
ance Because No Doctor Resides on
the Little Island.

Because four of the employees of
the Raymond Ranch are men operat-
ing a power boat between Maui and
Honolulu, the insurance company
which had taken the workmen's COM
pensation risk of the corporation has
notified the industrial accident board
that it purposes cancelling the policy
because the motor boat is considered
a risk that it cannot assume. Also
the Lanai Company has notified the
board that its policy is to be Cancelled
by the insurance company for the
reason that Lanai has no regular resi-
dent physician.
Both of these companies will there
fore be obliged to carry their own in
surance, or make other arrangement
for providing compensation for their
employees under the Workmen's
Compensation Law.
