Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana.
Indianapolis, Jan. Inasmuch as the officers of the Stato Life Insurance company refused to comply with th3 order of John Blllheimer, auditor of stare, to appear at his ofiico for oral examination Jnto tho affairs of their company, tho examination, which was announced Inst week to be conducted yesterday, was not held. Auditor Billheimer's order requested tho Insurance company officers to appear at his offico at 10 a. m. yesterday. No one- had appeared at that hour and nothing wan lieard from tho insurance company until live minutes later, when Auditor Billheimer was called to the telephone. What Was Said Through the 'Phone. "This la Andrew M. Sweeney, president of the State Life Insurance company," a voice at the other end of the line and announced: "The officers of my company have held a conference ei.nl decided that we shall not come to your office for examination, an request
ed by yourself. We are prepared to be examined, but must insist that tha
examination be held here in our com
pany's office, If it is to be held at
all." State Sort of Hesitates.
Auditor Blllheimer acknowledged the receipt of the telephonio message, but did not volunteer any information as to what the state might do to break
tho deadlock that existed between It
aud the company to be examined. The
announcement of Sweeney was com
municated to Governor Ilanly and to
James W. Noel, a member of the spe
cial insurance investigation committee, who was to conduct the examination
for the state, but neither of these was
prepared to say what the state might
do.
Company Stands on Its Rights. President Sweeney said: "The stato Life company has decided to stand on Its legal rights and demand that tha auditor of state come to us if ho wishes to examino our affairs."

To begin with, she was easily the prettiest girl at Lake Wahconset inn. Then, again, she was Mrs. Baker's niece, and Jimmy Marshall had known
Mrs. Baker since he was a little boy, for she and his mother were old
friends. So it became the natural
thing for him to row with her and
dance with her and take her on long
drives in his touring car; not that he
particularly admired her, he assured himself, but he liked to row and dance and motor, and she was company. Be
sides, phe was a nice enough little thing, and it was less trouble to ask her than to hunt up another girl; then,
too, it probably pleased Mrs. Baker ta have him pay her niece some little attention.
So, considering that all girls bored
him and he had no Inclination to pay serious attentions to any of them, it is
not to be wondered at that he was first amused, then annoyed, when Mrs. Eaker, who was a simple, lovable soul,

HE LEFT A PECULIAR WILL
Gives $50,000 to the Sweden borgiana , on Condition That His Spirit. He Elected a Trustee. Kokomo, Ind., Jan. 20. Probably the most peculiar will ever filed for probate in this stato is that of the late George W. Deffenbaugh, who left the church of his faith $30,000 on condition that his spirit bo elected a member of the board of trustees of the church and consulted at every meeting. The money Is left to the Swedeulwrg church here. In his will Deffenbaugh also provided liberally for his wife and children. The will stipulates that Deffenbaugh shall be a member of the board of trustees after his death and shall be consulted in all things relating to the church. A plan for the government of tho
church is contained in the will. Tht
trustees are to meet often and consult with Deffenbaugh's spirit regarding de
tails. In the event that the trustees appointed by the will fall or refuse to
net. then a convention of church inecn
bres is to be held, and they are to se
lect a loard of trustee and proceed as though the parties selected had accepted the trust. Children of Deffen
baugh are contesting the will on tho
ground that their father was insane.

'No, I suppose not," returned Mrs.

did? That was the worst of girls they

AGE LIMIT CHANGED.
In the official clroular issued on the

33 to 40 years. This has been decided
upon on account of tho shortage of
competent railroad trainmen, whloh has

"Yes, and it's too bad," continued Mrs. Baker, with rising Indignation. "Really, Priscilla, it's a shame. It will break his heart, and his mother will blame me, and It's dreadful." "I don't see what I have done," returned Priscilla crossly. It was a pity1 that a girl couldn't be decently polite to a man without his going and falling In love with her, spoiling everything! Of course everybody would blame her, sho reflected in annoyance as she continued her interrupted way to tha lake. Jimmy Marshall saw her coming and went up the path to meet her.

Ho would make a casual remark or so about business, then in a couple of days pretend a sudden business call and leave. Of course she would feel terrible, but it would be easier for her in the end. Dear little girl! He was surprised at the wave
of tenderness that swept over him. "Shall we try tennis or the canoe this morning?" In spite of himself his voice sounded forced and unnatural. "Whichever you prefer. Suppose we say tennis," returned Priscilla. trying to meet his eyes carelessly. Then to her dismay she blushed scarlet while he grew unaccountably red. How plainly he showed it. How blind she had been, thought Priscilla contritely. How heartless in him to want to
leave her, thought Jimmy, not daring
to look at the lovely flushed face.
Jimmy looked very grave during the
next few days. It was no little thing
to have blighted a young girl's affections, even unconsciously, and when
she was such a dainty little thing as
Priscilla so sweet, so sensible, so far
above the average ba every way it became a pretty grave proposition. Indeed, he sometimes wondered if he were not in honor bound to marry her
anyway.
In the meantime Priscilla, under Mrs.
Baker's accusing eye, wilted percepti

was glad she had wrought so much
mischief. Well, she wasn t She never

the lake. lie would be very friendly,
he resolved, and gentle, but he must contrive to let her see that this was the
end.
It was while he was wondering just
how he should manage It that the ac
eident happened.
They had almost reached the wooded
shore opposite when there was a quiver
of the boat a startled cry from Pris
cilia an overturned canoe drifting idly
on the face of the 'lake.
"Don t be frightened! ve're near
shore!" cried Jimmy, shaking the wa
ter from his eyes and striking out in her direction. Somehow they reached
the opposite bank, he holding her close,
while she clung to him half wildly
for protection.
"I I was so frightened!" she said In
a wabbly, half hysterical voice, shiver
ing in his arms.
Suddenly at touch of her a strange,
sweet madness seized him, and he cov
ered her face with kisses, holding her

shy happiness, lay passive in his arms. Same Thing.

she added, with bland conviction.

Industrious Firemen. Some of the sacred fires of India
have been burning for twelve centuries and promise to continue to send forth a cheerful glow as long as the
man who pays for the fuel is willing
to keep putting up the price.
That is a long time to keep a fire go
ing In one spot, and the janitor who wheels out the ashes must have quite a pile in the back lot by this time, but think what a snap it would be to have
a fireman like that about the place
during the cold winter evenings.
The man of the house could go
peacefully to sleep at night without being haunted by the annoying certainty that some one would poke him sharply
In the ribs at 5:30 and say, "John,
hadn't you better get up and see about the fire?"
Life would certainly be filled with
more joy for the man who banks his fire regularly at night and blanks It in the morning as a part of the routine of
his life.

A Floating Fnnaee, Many a mysterious disappearance at sea i3 believed to have been caused by fire in the coal bunkers, the discovery coming too late to admit of tha fire being mastered. For instance, fire broke out on the Ada Iredale, a vessel engaged In the China trad which many years ago set sail frem a Scot
tish port for Ban Francisco, carrying
a cargo of coal. When the vessel was tome 2,000 miles from the Marquesas Islands, in the Pacific ocean, the eargo was found to be on fire. All efforts to
extinguish the conflagration were fruit
less, and the crew was driven to the
boats. The ship, by this time a float
ing furnace, was left to its fate and drifted, still burning, a distance oZ 2,420 miles, to Tahiti. Finally taken In tow, she was convoyed safely into port, where for more than a year her 6axo 6 till smoldered.
