PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD.

last session of the Legislature, an attor-

corporate interests, importuned me to use
my influence to obtain the repeal of the
present public service commission law
upon the ground that 1t was unconsttu-
tional in some respects, without power
in others, and altogether possessed OF too
many teeth. He submitted for my con-
sideration and approval perfectly tooth

law, which ! declined to advocate. Fur

FIFTEENTH: To taxation and ways ana
means. The revenue # The state ana
the expenditures of the state have
doubled within the last ten years Tn
I'll two years ago the entire system of
raising the revenue was that of indi-
rect taxation. That system has been
carried as far az it could be with safety.
The last Legislature changed me laws
relative to taxing public service corpor-
atoms indirectly from percentage of
gross revenue to direct valuation, or tax
ing them on the same principle as the
individual. This became necessary by
reason of conditions which had arisen
leading to the ownership Of our public
service corporations by other corpora
tons outside OF the State The change is
right in principle and became an absolute
necessity I'm fact and under no conditions
whatever should the principle involved
be changed. 1t matters not, for example
what corporation inside of this State
earns as n public carrier if It be con-
nected with a corporation outside of tho

HOPE THAT CREW OF
SUBMARINE DIED QUICKLY
Experts Believe the 21 Men Were
Killed by an Explosion.

Washington, April 19.-Hope that the
crew of the ill-fated submarine F4
died quickly, escaping the torture Of
suffocation as the vessel lay at the
bottom of Honolulu harbor, is held out
in a mail report received at the navy
department today from Rear Admiral
Moore. Experts on the scene. the ad-
miral said, believe the 21 officers and
men were killed by an internal ex-
plosion.
There is no positive information at
hand upon which to base a reliable
theory as to the cause of the accident -
said the report, but it is believed by
the submarine experts here that the
men in the boat were killed by some
sort of internal explosion. They be-
lieve that had there been one man left
alive, eh could have made signals or
blown the tanks and thus caused the
submarine to RISE
Since the report was written ten
days ago, navy divers from the New
York navy yard with special equip
ment have reached Honolulu to aid
in the efforts to raise the F-4. Lines
have been attached to the sunken hulk
and it is being gradually hauled into
shallower water

GERMANY OFFERS PREPARATION
FOR SINKING THE kATWYK
Full Compensation For Sinking by a
German Submarine.

London, April 10. SAT p. b.-The
German governments willingness to
make reparation for the sinking in
the North sea last week by German
submarine of the Dutch steamer Kat
Wyk is indicated in a Reuter- deS-
patch from Amsterdam. This mes
sage says semi official announcement
was made today at The Hague that
the government, acting on its own in
itiative sent the following declara-
ton to the Dutch government:
Neither the German government
nor the German naval authorities as
is self evident, had the intention OF
attacking a Dutch vessel. Notwith-
standing this the German government
believes it possible, that, owing to
an unfortunate accident, the Katwyk
has been torpedoed by a German sub
marine.
"At once, after the event became
known, the German government or
dered an inquiry and requested the
Dutch government to send to Berlin
an official report on this subject
which can give enlightenment. If in
quiry proves that the Katwyk has
been sunk by a German submarine
the German government will express
unhesitatingly it's sincere regret and
offer full compensation"
