AN INSURANCE RATEWAR

LOCAL HO AltU OI- IWDKRAVKITKUS 3IAY Hi: DISSOLVED. State Hoard Palled to Help Settle the Troubled Mtuntlon In Indlanapoltft. Indianapolis may experience an Insurance rata war. The conditions teem to point to the dissolution of the local board of underwriters over the commission question. The Indiana State Boiird of Fire Underwriters met yesterday, but failed to reach any agreement as to the best course for the Indianapolis agents to follow. The matter did not come before the board proper, but the situation in the State was freely discussed in a special meeting of the committeo of the whole. Indianapolis 1 outside of the Jurisdiction of the state board, but the individual members are all vitally interested In the local conditions. Last week a petition to the company managers was prepared and signed by a majority of the local agents asking that IndianapoUi be made an "excepted city." The state Doard was asked to encourage and assist in bringing about the desired end. A strong opposition developed, how-, ever, and the friends of the excepted city plan did not have strength enough pledged to secure the indorsement of the board. It was decided to hold the matter over until some further data can be secured from cities now operating under the excepted city plan. Milwaukee has Just reorganized its local board and a committee of Indianapolis underwriters will probably visit that city this week. The majority favor the change, but the minority control a strong Influence with company manager?. To avail themselves of an increased rate of commission agents must represent only companies which formerly were pledged to a 15 per cent, agreement. Fifteen per cent, was the highest commission allowed on any class of risk, while under the new rule as high as 25 per cent. Is allowed for prefer, ed business. In many agencies there are a number of high-commission companies represented. These must be dropped or the ngent will (ply be entitled to 15 per cent, by the stronger union companies. The rule of separation went into effect Oct. 1. but none of the Indianapolis agents have taken action as yet. fearing the consequences. For, If the high-commission companies are thrown out of an agency, they will undoubtedly protect their business, and this can only be accomplished by cutting rate?. Nonboard agencies will be established and a. general demoralization prevail. Should the rate on a single risk be cut by a high-commission company the cry of "protect the business" would go up and a disastrous rate war would result. The friends of the excepted city plan contend that a rate war would be averted by adopting their Ideas, but opponents of the scheme contend that a commission as well as rate war would be sure to follow. As an excepted city the local agents would govern themselves and fix upon a certain basis of commission. A prominent local underwriter. In commenting upon the situation, said to a Journal reporter that only conservative and unsclflsh action by the individual agents can prevent an outbreak In Indianapolis. "The situation is in a very critical condition," he said. "We.are confronted with the proppect of a commission or rate war either way we turn, and it will take personal sacrifices to carry us through the "storm. I believe that the local board of underwriters is strong enough to manage its own aflalrs, and I hope that the members will keep in line. I have built up a fair business in this city and I certainly do not want to see It wiped away In a day or two. Rate wars are the ruination of the local agents. They afford property owners absurdly low rates for insurance during a limited time, but they put the agents into bankruptcy. In Illinois and Wisconsin rates were thrown off in several cities and the insurance agents lost all of their business. Failures were numerous, and failures always affect the prosperity of a city. We all hope to get through the present crteis without a split, but if the worst does come It will be good-bye to the insurance business In this city for the next five years. The same conditions exist throughout the West, and Indianapolis would be made an example of. Company managers1 would make it a hot fight, so that they could Fay 'see the result of rate wars. Look at Indianapolis.' The feeling s rather Intense and policies would probably be given away. Of course the insuring public would like these low rates, but there is a great danger in rate wars. Insurance companies must get an adequate premium for every risk carried in order to promptly meet their obligations. If they do not they will fail. A rate war is. therefore, not in the best interests of the city. A settlemert will probably be reached before the firet of next month. But the local agents in Indianapolis will not sleep well until all the clouds of war have blown away and sweet peace reign?." "GENERAL WELLINHAND. Soldiers Meknnme for Otis, Say n Retcrned Private. Harry W. White, 418 Bright street, formerly a member of Battery G, Third United States Artillery, doing service in the Philippines, returned to the city a few days ago, and has many interesting tales to tell of his experiences. According to White, the situation there Is much more serious than is generally believed in this country. He Is loud in his praise of the service of volunteer regiments. General Funston and the four batteries of the Third Artillery. Regarding the commander-in-chief. General Otis, he is Inclined to be critical, saying he thought General Otis, or "General Wellinhand." as he is called by tne soldiers, on account of his dispatches, altogether incapable and looking out too much for his own welfare. He said Otis had not been outside the walled city, or at least not to the knowledge of the soldiers. "The fact," eald White, "that officers under him refuse and neglect to carry out his orders day after day is proof to me that something is wrong with his management of affairs. From all I was able to learn, the 'round robin' of the newspaper correspondents was about right, and Otis is a man who will have to be relieved from the command of affairs there before any success whatever can be attained. The natives there . aro called niggers, and it has been the practice of Otis, after defeating them, to allow them to enter the city. They are the most deceitful people I have ever seen, and there is no way to subdue them but by killing them off or by having an army large enough to drive them all to bay, keeping them in front of the army all the time. And even then there can be no safety to Americans after they surrender and the army is reduced. They are a treacherous lot and can never be trusted." The command of which White was a member saw continuous service from the time It landed at Manila, and at the time the battery was sent to San Fernando, about six months ago, forty out of 1C5 members had been killed. The first engagement In which he participated was the capture of Manila, Aug. 13, lsUs. The battery then did service within the city until Feb. 6, 1S03. when an advance on Caloocan was made. The first engagement In the advance was kr.own as the battle of La Loma. In creaking of this White said: ' The Twentieth Kansas was on our left and the First Montana on our right. We were called about 10 o'clock Saturday evening to prepare for movement in the morning. Just as we arose from the trenches Sunday morning, Feb. 5. five of our men werj instantly killed before we had fired a shot. We went forward that morning about six miles, and had fierce fighting all the way through water and mud. We laid then in trenches until Feb. 10, when we made another advance, which was led by Major Bell, now of the Thirty-first Regiment, which is made up of soldiers discharged in the Philippines and re-enlisting there. Shortly after out start Bell had a hore shot from under him very close to me. We kept on for five days, during which time our battery lot three or tour men. Battery K, in which there were Indiana men, lost eight. We then lay in the trenches for about thirtyfive days, until March C5. Our lines and these of the enemy were Irregular, some places as cloe to each other as 4) yards, und never more than yards. So monotonous was the service that we used to get out of the trenches and exchange a few shots with the niggers ju?t for pastime. Nearly every day some of our fellows were

wounded. On March 23 we started for Maiclos at C o'clock in the morning. We figured it would take six days to reach there. Kvtry man carried two hundred rounds of ammunition. During this advance through mud and water the fighting was at all times fast and many men lell. "I was surprised at the manner in. which the soldiers were fed. A soldier, of course, cannot expect a redhot porterhouse steak awaiting him at mess call in the field, and we did not have it, but we did have good food and enough of it. The march from Manila to Malolos was along the railway and covered about sixty miles of territory. The last engagement before I left was at Pambaug, April 11 The people of this country cannot give too much praise to Funston. Our commander was a regular army officer, and as a rule the regulars have but little use for the volunteers. One day when the builets were thickest and we were throwing a few rhells into the enemy's camp, Funston came up with his men. Our commander suggested that he order his men to lie down. Funston gave the order, but the men stood up. Our commander was on the ground, and Funston, who still stood up. turned to him and said: 'Well, they won't do it. Let them stand anyway, and they did. In the engagement at Polo, when Funstcn appeared with his men, our commander said: 'Here's Funston coming with his men. I want every man of mine to take off his hat as they pass.' Such recognition of Funston and his men was common, and be deserved it, too." White returned on the transport Newport, and the treatment accorded soldiers abcard was undeserved, he says. All the men. he says, were discharsed and were compelled to obey the orders of a naval olticer. The men were compelled to sleep in filthy quarters and subsisted principally on rice and prunes. Officers had taken up all the deck room, and when the men wanted a drink of water they were not allowed to go on deck past their quarters, but must go below, pass to the forward end and then go on deck. Four soldiers died during the trip, and their bodies laid for four or five days on benches, awaiting to be embalmed, in the room where they bad to eat. BANQUET TO COST $5,000

Ills Partner Employs an Accountant to Examine Firm's Books. The absence of John H. McMorrow , of thVo firm of McMorrow & Flanedy, real estate and insurance agents In the Thorpe block, from his office, and a number of visits by McMorrow's creditors- to the office, resulted yesterday in the employment by Patrick J. Flanedy, a member of the firm, of an expert accountant to examine the firm's books. Certain complications in special funds also figured In the employment of the accountant. McMorrow has not been at home or at the office since Thursday last, and at neither place can It be ascertained when he is expected to return. Mrs. McMorrow left home Thursday for a visit to Dayton and Columbus, expecting to be gono several weeks. Her husband's whereabouts is not known. A servant In whose charge their four children were left Eald she knew the family was somewhat pressed for money, and had heard them discussing notes to become due. The last she heard of McMorrow was Thursday evening, when he telephoned, asking for his wife, who had gone away earlier in the day. McMorrow was a member of one of the appraisement boards which appraises city property abutting on street improvements. Yesterday the board on which he served reported that it could not complete Its work without his presence, but later Albert Sahm, who is one of the appraisers on the same board with McMorrow, was seen last night with Mayor Taggart: Both of them said emphatically that McMorrow's disappearance would have no effect on the work of the board, as each piece of property coming before the board for improvement was appraised by a board appointed by the Board of Work?, and this board was discharged when its work was completed. They both were satisfied that it would have no bearing whatever on either past, present or future improvements, and that it would not be necessary to recommence any proceedings now before the board. McMorrow has been in the Insurance business here about six years. His partnership with Flanedy began about two years ago. he having charge of the insurance feature. Mr. Flanedy anticipates no embarassment of the firm's business. CAME WITH A SHOTGUN. John Mitchell Answered the Challenge of Henry Phillips. Henry Phillips, colored, is at the City Hospital In a critical condition because of a gunshot wound. John Mitchell lives at 223 Toledo street, and with him live Mrs. Mattie Morley and Lulu Brooks. Phillips has attempted to force his attentions upon the Morley woman, and Mitchell objected to his coming about the house. Phillips, it is said, persisted, and last night tried to force the door. Mitchell refused to open the door and was invited outside, where Phdlips said he would kill him. Mitchell went to the door with a shotgun, and, opening the door, fired one charge, which struck Phillips in the abdomen. He was taken to the City Hospital. Mitchell went to police headquarters and gave himself up. The two women were arrested. ALUM BAKING POWDERS. Manufacturers Object to Labels Demanded by the State. Some of the manufacturers of baking powder are greatly exercised over the pure food ordinances recently adopted by tho State Board of Health. The manufacturers of baking powder containing alum protest against being required to place on the label that the baking powder contains alum. One of the manufacturers of alum powder yesterday sent a sample label to the board for its approval. This firm made no objection to the ordinances and the label is plainly marked. It was highly approved by the board. Wathlngton County Truant Officer. John L. Tucker, of Salem, was yesterday appointed truant officer for Washington county. Insure with the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Company, . 143 East Market street. Paid up capital, surplus. $100,(00.

FOUND CIGARS IN CELLAR

FEDERAL OFFICERS ARREST 1IE.MIV LAMPING AM I1EXXETT JACOnS. Goods Alleged to Have Been Spirited Aivuy Just llefore a Fire tit Irvlngtnn. Bennett Jacobs, who lives at 1707 North Capitol avenue, and Henry Lamping, a cigar manufacturer, were arrested yesterday noon by Deputy United States Marshal Foley, and during the afternoon over 400 boxes of cigars were found in the cellar of Jacobs's house. The charge placed against both men is removing boxes of cigars from a factory without properly canceling and dating the revenue stamps, but behind it lies a story. Jacobs is of a , prominent family in Johnson county, and his business here is that of a horse dealer. He lives in a stone house and in a good neighborhood, where he has been highly regarded by his neighbors. He moved there about April 1 last. Lamping has lived on North New Jersey street and is a cigar manufacturer. He has twice before been in trouble with the government over revenue laws, but both times he was in Terre Haute. Since last April Lamping's cigar factory has been on North Ritter avenue, Irvington, and, if Jacobs had any interest in the plant, he never appeared in it, and the business was publicly regarded as Lamping's. On Aug. 29 last the cigar factory was burned, and soon afterwards Lamping and Jacobs appeared at the revenue office and put in a claim for over $100 worth of revenue stamps, which they claimed had been lost in the fire. They also made a plea for an abatement of taxes on tobacco which they claimed had been burned. The prosecution of these claims was deferred and postponed so many times that the officials of the department became suspicious. Collectors Witthoft and Boone commenced an investigation, and became satisfied that the cigars had been removed from the factory before the fire and that the stamps were not destroyed. Convinced that they were in Jacobs's house, a man was sent there in the guise of a gas inspector, and found in the cellar of the house a pile of the boxes of cigars, each with the revenue stamp affixed, but not canceled. Notlec was served on the two men to appear yesterday and make the necessary affidavits to secure the rebates demanded, and about noon they appeared. Just as they finished this work they were arrested. The law requires that each box of cigars shall have the stamp canceled and dated before it shall be removed from a factory, and they were arrested for failure to do thia They were given a hearing before Commissioner Moores In the afternoon and were bound over to the grand Jury, in the sum of 12,500 each. While the hearing was In progress Collector Boone went to Jacobs's residence and confiscated C17 boxes of cigars, or 15.&0 cigars, and took them to the revenue office. There are still 118 boxes left in the cellar, as it was late last night when the rim load was brought down. The penalty provided is a fine of $50 for each box removed from the factory without proper stamping, so the aggregate fines amount to $21,750. The officials do not believe that Jacobs is primarily guilty, as he had no knowledge of the requirements of the revenue laws, but it is their opinion he was led into the trouble by Lamping. While they were being taken to Jail, Jacobs upbraided Lamping and said that Lamping had led him into the trouble. He further 6aid:. "I would have been a fool not to have bought those cigars at the price you offered them to me." It Is probable that Jacobs will be able to give bond. C. E NEWLIN'S DREAM. Savr Himself In a Pathetic Situation, 1Ylfich He Described. "I dreamed the other night," said Charles E. Newlln, of Irvington, to a meeting of Prohibitionists at Alabama and New York streets, last night, "that I was on a train. An Iron horse was speeding toward my train and the two engines crashed Into each other on a curve. I crawled out of the mass of wreckage and, lay down on the green sward at the side of the track. A brakeman with a lantern came to me and lifted my head to hia knee. He told me I had but a few minutes to live and asked me If I had a message to send to my family. I choked back the blood that gurgled In my throat and said, 'Tell my boj-s to take care of mamma and never give up the fight.' And if I knew that this was my last moment on earth, I would say to my four blue-eyed boys, 'Never give up the fight " The fight h meant was the Prohibition fight, in which he was deeply Interested in the last campaign, but only as the representative of the Young People's Religious Society. The subject of the meeting last night, which was composed of about fifty men and fifty women, was "After the Battle What Next?" Newlln was the speaker of the evening. Besides relating his dream, he counseled tho Prohibitionists as to what should be done in the coming state and national campaigns. He said there was no "what next," but that the battle continued. He said the reason the Prohibitionists were not successful in the local campaign was because they had not an organization, had not a sufficient campaign for clean government. Two years hence, he said, the business men should be organized, and a business man should be put at the head of an Independent ticket which should stand for law-enforcement. The candidate should neither be a Republican, Democrat nor Phohibitionlst. He predicted success for the party that stood firmly against tho saloon and made this principle a national Issue. He said it was to the interest of the Prohibition party to kill the Anti-Saloon League because it affiliated with the Republican party and therefore would never do anything to further the Prohibition cause. "Tom Goodwin and Ell Ritter." he Eaid, "either staid at home on election day or else voted for something they did not believe in." BIG FOUR FREIGHT WRECK. Tvro Trains Collide on a Siding; Near Drookfield. A serious freight wreck occurred on the Cincinnati division of the Big Four Road yesterday morning. In which C. A. Felch. of 1107 Fletcher avenue, a fireman on the eastbound fast merchandise train from this city to Cincinnati received severe Injuries. The accident happened at Brookfield, three miles east of Acton, where a west-bound freight train had taken siding to meet the third section of train No. 90 carrying line freight. The latter train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour and the engineer, seeing the west-bound train in the siding, did not slacken his speed when he neared tne switch. The accident, it Is thought, was the result of carelessness on the part of the other man, who neglected to throw the switch after the west-bound train had entered the siding. The two engines came together with such force thai both were demolished and the merchandise from the fast train was scattered over the right of way for several hundred yards. The tank of one of the engines was thrown into a field quit a distance cway, while the rails and telegranh poles were torn up and knocked down for a considerable distance, preventing accurate news of the accident reaching this city for some time. The members of the crew of the west-bound train Jumped and escaped unhurt, while those on the moving train also Jumped, but without the same favorable results. Asldo from Felch. no one was seriously Injured. Edward Evans, the conductor, was thightly hurt, while the engineer received slight bruises. Felch's Injuries consist of a broken arm, several gashes on the head and slight internal injuries. A BLIND GIRL'S CASE. Probate Commissioner Investigates Her Monadmlsslon to Institute. Probate Commissioner Walker yesterday sent for the superintendent of the Institute for the Blind to come to his office. The commissioner wanted to learn why Bertha Smith, aged about eighteen, was not permitted to enter the institute. The girl lives with her aunt, Mary Zwissler, who is aho her guardian. J'hey reside at No. 52J Fort Wayne avenue. The girl's father lives at Saltvllle, Va. After aa Interview with the

superintendent Commissioner Walker said he would Investigate the guardianship. The superintendent intimated that the surroundings of the girl at her aunt's home were not proper for her and he said it was on this account that she was not allowed to attend school at the institute.

FOLEY GIVEN DIVORCE Dot He "Will Recover' None of Ills Bonds from HU Ex-Wife. Dr. William Foley, of Broad Ripple, has at last secured an annulment of his marriage to Marietta Brennernan. Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yesterday made the necessary decree. Several weeks ago Dr. Foley brought suit to have his marriage annulled and to have the proceeds from the sale of certain bonds he had given his young wife paid over to him. His complaint was based on the charge that Miss Brennernan and her mother had conspired against him to get his money. Judge Carter, in deciding the case last week, failed to find there wa3 a conspiracy. He also declined to annul the marriage and found that young Mrs. Foley was entitled to keep the bonds, or the money realized from the sale of the securities. The action taken yesterday was by agreement of the lawyers on both sides. Dr. Foley's attorneys added a second paragraph to his original complaint. In it the plaintiff averred that the defendant had at no time assumed wifely relations with him and did not Intend to. An answer was then tiled to this paragraph alleging that, before the marriage ceremony was performed, it was agreed that the parties should not live together as husband and wife would be expected to live. In her answer, the defendant admitted that such an agreement would be absolutely void. Judge Carter then entered a decree annulling the marriage. Mr. AVnsson Offers' $300. At the Methodist Ministerial Association, which met in Meridian-street Church yesterday morning. Rev. R. Roberts, agent for the Veterans' Home Society, presented "an offer from H. P. Wasson. Mr. Wasson agrees to give $500 toward the erection of a $10,000 home for the use of valnisters who have become Incapacitated for work by old age, providing the rest would be raised during the present conference year. He also cays in his offer that it is to protect Meridian-street Church. The word "protect" was not generally understood by the others present, but the Inference gained is that the amount advanced be regarded as the annuity to that church. Dr. E. B. Rawls said that without more assistance from Meridian-street Church he doubted the possibility of raising the required funds. The ministers appointed a committee to invite Dr. J. P. D. John, late president of De Pauw University, to deliver a lecture in this city at an early date. Faster Than Ever to California.
