Honolulu. Sept. 2s.-The advance
guard of a new labor supply, to on
set the present shortage in the Hawai-
ian Islands, has arrived here i'm the
form of 430 men and women from
Porto Rico, accompanied by many
children.
The laborers were recruited by

from Porto Rico was reported to have
been uneventful except for a slight
epidemic of influenza which led to the
placing of the laborers in quarantine
at Colon, Canal Zone, for several days.
They will be distributed among the
plantations whose need of labor is
most pressing, 1t was announced.
Efforts will be made TO induce more
of their countrymen to come here, the

NEW RECORD FOR LOSSES

BY Associated Press tn Every Evening
Boston. Sept. 2S.--Last year nearly
$4,000 persons were burned to death

large percentage of whom We're in

Fleming. of the National Board of

told the Automotive section OF the

today.
"A classification of these losses

"Co-incident with this loss of life,
the destruction Of property during
1899 as quoted by Mr.. w. E. Mallalieo
general manager of the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters almost
doubled that of any previous year of
our history, reaching an enormous to-
tai Of over s505. zoe, 000--which does
not include the stupendous losses in
forestry, 80 per cent of which is due
10 carelessness of citizens. This waste
of our national wealth of nearly one
and one-half millions a day is paid for
by every citizen of the nation. IL is
generally considered that these losses
are borne largely by insurance COM
panies which is true but insurance
companies are only collecting and dis
tributing agencies and of necessity
are compelled TO require increa SEQ
rates to cover increased losses. Every
product purchased for the home OF
for the factory has in its cost to the
consumer an amount TO cover the
insurance and overhead cost.
IL is the largest and most unneces
sary leakage of the country's re

accusations of senators many times
had materially affected prices.
my objections" continued the
witness, "are principally against
the methods used by the govern
ment and particularly by Attorney
General Palmer. Mr., Palmer and
his staff, instead of seeking out
and prosecuting specific cases OF
profiteering, have dealt in gener-
alities, 1t has resulted in discredit
attaching to all OF business"
Senator Thomas declared that
Mr.. Palmer's course was the. only
way to cover specific cases and
added that business should have
purged it's own ranks. He express
ed the belief that the consumer
had some rights after all and that
the government had functioned in
the interests of "a vast majority
of the people" when 1t sought to
bring down the price of commodi-
ties.
To this declaration Colonel
Wood replied that there had been
a warranted resentment against
the high prices and said that tha
government, campaign had been
successful to the point that all
prices have gone down and to the
extent that hundreds of thousands
of men had been thrown out OF

This compilation excludes capt.

The projected strength of the

jected building, is fixed at:
Great Britain, twenty EIGHT ships

relative standing as projected is in
'dicated as being the same in the
case of Great Britain and United
