James Bingham, attorney general, says he has hopes that ona of the -results of his suit against the Ore Insurance companies which Is on trial in superior court, room 4, will be lower Insurance rates throughout Indiana. He says If he can break up the flro insurance combine it will open up the Are insurance business in Indiana on a fair competitive basis, which will produce fair proilts for tho

"The main purpose of this suit Is to break up the Are insurance combino

which for years has been in control of the whole insurance situation," said Mr. Bingham. "I have charged

in this suit that there is such a combination among the companies. A large number of them are members of the Western Union of Underwriters, better known as the 'union.' The state agents of these union companies are members of what is know n as the Indiana Association of Fire Underwriters. The state agents of the nonunion companies belong to what is called the Indiana League of Fire Un-

derwrlters. Then In each city In the College glri r. m polled tc eat oy- stale loca, ag0nls aro orgnnlzed s'ers Hindfoldfd Where was th lnto local ,n thls manner the S V A b-the wretch-i bazers rfos combination Is maintained, wrr-e !,!Indfold'g those hell I. ss oy- The an,on compan,e8 maintatn an inspection and ratiag bureau In this

state. This bureau inspects all tho insurable property in the state and all the companies accept the report of that bureau and apply to It the uniform schedule of rates which the union follows. 'The 12Ü Insurance companies named as defendants in this suit do r radically all the lire Insurance business that is done In Indiana, and all of them accept the Inspections made by the Inspection bureau and write Insurance at uniform rates. The union companies do this because they are combined for that purpose, and the nonunion companies do it because they are forced to follow the lend of the union companies. "Here is the situation: The local agents throughout the state are compelled to bow to tho combine. If an insurance company comes Into Indiana and undertakes to write insurance at a rate other than the rate established by the combine it Is put out of business. It cannot get agents to represent It. If it appoints a brand new-

agent, one that has no established business, he has a hard time to get business. If it appoints an agent that represents also some of the union companies the special agents for the union companies call on him and inform him that unless he gives up the agency for the independent company they will take their agenclos away from him, thus leaving him without any business or income. If an agent asserts independence and refuses to accept the dictates of the comb ne a rate war follows, as it did In Itluffton. Rates are slashed and c ;t until the Independent agent Is driven out of business or until he decides to join the combine. The ame thing happened In M uncle atid in other cities of the state. When the union has forced an Independent agent to Join the union tt requires hln to sign an agreement that ho will not cut rates, and that ho will not represent any company that writes business at other than union rates. The combine retains the right to line any agent that violates this agreement,"

I Adheres to Local Option Stand. I A judgment refusing to restrain the I police force and constables at Wash- I

, fngtoti from Interfering with a saloon ' in which Joseph 1. Gordon had ini ested $5.000. and from which ho was realizing a profit of $200 a month. , after his license was rovokod by a

local option election, was affirmed by the supreme court. Tho court adhered to Its former decision that the local option statute is constitutional, and nlllrmed the case, although th""o was no brief on bohnlf of tho appellors, which the rulos of court require. An additional question, not before directly passed on, was decided, to the effect, under this statute, boards of commissioners are required to tnke Jurisdiction of an application for a saloon license In "dry territory," to the extent of determining whother there has been an election and whother there was an adverse vote,

but no further. Judge Myers said: "It is not because of any power or lack of power in the board to hear the question, but because the law, In itself, fixes the status, not of one individual, but of all persons. It Is precisely the same question, in another form, as that presented by tho claim that laws cannot go Into effect, or be suspended by nny other will than

that of the legislature. It Is the flat J

of the law, and not the voto of the people, which declares the result. . . . The board of commissioners Is a tribunal whose powers and Jurisdiction are statutory, and may havo its power enlarged or curtailed, as the legislature may see fit. . . . There being no Inherent or natural right to sell intoxicating liquors, Its regulation is wholly within the police powers of the state. . . . It is not essential, in order that the act be constitutional, that there should be a right to contest the election, or a right of nppenl, and the return of the election commissioners may be made final."

No dissent by any of the Judges was noted on tho opinion.

Work In the Oil Fields. Tho May figures show a slight decrease In completed work in tho Indiana oil fields, wlfilc a slight Increase Is shown In now production, and fewer dry holes. The bulk of development work la centered In the southwestern part of tho state. In Pike county, around Oakland City, and tho heavy production conies from that end of the field. The older producing districts In the eastern part of the state show no activity whatever, but the good showIng in tho eastern part of Randolph county, near tho Indiana-Ohio state line, should encourage more development work thcie. The wells si art nt an average of about fifty barrels and havo sufficient gns to keep them going. Reports are circulated that some test work will soon be started In the northern part of the stato on Warren, Terre Coupe and Rolling prairies, In the Kankakee valley, between South Oend and Chicago.

Trustee Discounts Road Tax. Reports of flold examiners who examined the accounts of Jacob Sailors, trustee of Liberty township, Wabash county, and H. U. Mood, former trustee of the same township, found that these officials had been discounting the road tax due from railroads. It was found that Sailors accepted $105.16 from tho Big Four in settlement of taxes amounting to 3157.S4. and that he had settled a

5 120.16 claim against tho Indiana

Union Traction company for fS0.S2.

This meant a loss to the township of

SS9.02. The examiners said Sailors

explained to them that it had been customary for the trustees of tho township to settle with the railroads

on a basis of about 75 cents on the on a basis of 70 cents on the dollar, dollar Mood. It was found, settled

It was also found that Mood failed to turn over $130 to Sailors, his suc

cessor.

Clarence P. Wolf, trustee of Har

mony township, rosey county, had $S,000 cash on hand when the ex

aminers examined his books. This is

too large a balance, they say, for a

township trustee to carry, and they said the tax levy ought to bo reduced.

Sharpshooters Compete. Sharpshooters In the Indiana National Guard, desirous of winning places on the regimental state teams, are trying their skill, the season of competition now being opened. The contest for members of the Third battalion of tho Second Infantry was held at tho Spencer riflo range, and will ho followed by the contest of the First battalion of the Second Infantry. Tho First battalion of tho First Infantry has closed a three dnys' shoot at tho range at Spencer. Tho Second battalion of tho Second regiment will hold its contest at the Crawfordsvllle range; tho Second bnttallon of the Third, at Angola, and the Third battalion of the Third, at Columbia City, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Second battalion of tho First held its competition at NewAlbany, and the First battalion of tho Third, at South Bend. Five men constitute a sharpshooters' team of a company, 12 a battalion team and 3C a regimental tonm. llattallon sharpshooters will compote for membership on the regl1 mentnl teams, and the winners of regimental honors will try for the state team somo tlmo In tho fall.

Lafayette. Lafayette is now In tho throes of a mad dog scare. What a few days ago was looked upon as a mere incident has brought about a dangerous condition, and the local authorities have been aroused. One head of a dog sent to Indianapolis for examination was found to be Infested with negrl bodies, and tho nnimal had bitten two children and several domestic animals before being killed. Consternation was created In the south part of the city by a mad dog which ran amuck. Tho dog. frothing

at the mouth, got away before It could bo killed after biting six dogs. Another dog on Wabash avenuo went mad and bit n number of dogs. Several children who havo been bitten are now taking the Pasteur treatment. The mayor has Issued an order to kill every dog not muzzled, and the police have killed about fifty animals in the past few days. So serious has the condition become that parents have refused to allow their children out of doors, unless they are with them. Mrs. Michael Plapos was attacked near her home by a dog and one of her hands was badly lacerated. Tho dog Is believed to have been mad. and after It was killed the head was sent to Indianapolis for examination. Tho entire county Is greatly agitated. Horses and cattle havo been bitten by tho mad dogs.

' The admiral had already rounded out the stipulated period of nctlvo service when the Nlcarnguan trouble broko out. When in the first of last ' Docombor tho government deemed It necossnry to send a strong body of

marines and a numerous forco of warships to the scene, it was announced that Admiral Kimball, then on duty In Washington, had been assigned to command the expedition. Tho admiral was then almost on tho verge of retirement and it was practically certain that this duty would considerably overlap Into the retired period. Hut as explained by the navy departmont. "Kimball is tho very man for tho work." Thoso Intimately acquainted with the admiral and who had a foreknowledge of what tho work was likely to bo, did not need that official Indorsement to know that he was the very man to handle It. Eminently competent in his profession, the admiral possessed other qualifications which peculiarly fitted him for this task, one of these being a thorough knowledge of International law. The result has shown that It was to Admiral Kimball, more than to any oth-

Uut the admiral showed himself to be a diplomat of a high order. Ho won the confidence nnd esteem of tho whole of Nicaragua, Irrespective of party. He was cheered wherever ho wont, by tho Madrlz government party, by the Estradlsts, by the interventionists. "What wo need," ono of the interventionists enthusiastically said to tho admiral at the time when Intervention talk was running high, "Is American occupation and tho strong arm of your country compelling order in Nicaragua."

For Proper Care of Tuberculosis. According to tho National Association for tho Study and Preontion of Tuberculosis, New York stato loads In tho number of beds for consumptives provided up to May 1. with 5.47C beds; Massachusetts is second with 2.403 beds; Pennsylvania, third, with 2.3-17 beds; Colorado, fourth, with 1.4S9 beds; and New Mexico fifth, with 1.101 beds. As yet, not ono stato In the country has mado adequate provision for Its consumptives. Now York has set Itself the task of hating "No uncared-for tuberculosis In 191'., " nnd several cities In othor parts of tho country have adopted similar programs. Tho national association says that tuberculosis will not bo stamped out Until all cases of this disease aro cared for either In their homes or In Institutions. With this end In view, efforts will bo made to lucease tho number of hospital beds In this country to at least 35.000 by May 1, 1911.

Tho Nlcarnguan newspapers have had columns of complimentary references to Admiral Kimball. Considering that he was In Nlcarnguan waters and In command of a military force which might any day have been celled into uso against Nicnrngua, this p:aise from these Sir Huberts Is praise Indeed. With three parties struggling for supremacy, with tho

one In power being distinctly hostile to everything American, the tdttiatlon from any point of view wns nn extremely delicate ono and required Infinite tact to handle. The admiral Is possessed of that tact In a high dogree and brought it into play. Not only did he prevent nny conflict botween the forces of the United States and those of tho contending parties, but In so doing fully malntnlneil the dignity of tho ling nnd met every situation with a strict observance of the requirements of International law and of naval usnge. The admiral was born In Paris, Me., on Janunry 9. ISIS. He entered the Naval aendemy on July 31, 18GC, graduating for years Inter. In 1870 ho was promoted to tho rank of ensign and In the following year to that of master, a rank which was abolished many years ago. Ho was ono of tho first of his profession on this side of the Atlantic to recognize the potential valo of the submarine, and it wna largely through his efforts thnt John P. Holland was eventually enabled to construct the pioneer of that type of vessel. Ono naval board after another sat on tho device, nnd sat on It In more senses than one.
