BELL GETS TOLL BUSINESS IT IS SAID THAT MERGER HAS BEEN SO ARRANGED THAT INDEPENDENT WILL NOT LOSE ITS FRANCHISE. on account of the attempts of the Bell Telephone Company to but out the Home Phone Company in Richmond, the following dispatch from Kokomo will be read with interest: Kokomo now has the only one telephone exchange. At 11 o'clock Sunday night the last connection was made, merging the plants of the Citizens' Telephone Company and the Central Union Telephone Company. The management of the Citizen's company announced today a working agreement had been reached between the, two companies that would make "it possible for the business of both to be done through one exchange. Under the terms of the merger, all subscribers of the Central Union company have the privilege of calling any subscriber of the Citizens company and vice versa. In the matter of toll service, the Citizens' company will give long-distance business to Bell lines to points not reached by the new long-distance company's lines Chance of Forfeiture Avoided. It is said the merger has been made along lines that keeps it from conflict with that clause of the Citizens company's franchise which forbids that company, on penalty of forfeiture of its franchise and all its property to the city, to enter into iiny agreement with another telephone company for the purpose of creating a monopoly in the telephone business in Kokomo. The Citizens company has approximately 2,300 subscribers and the Central Union has only ICO. It is generally believed here that the merger means that the Central Union has obtained control of the Citizens' company and that the Citizens company exists only in name. The business hereafter will be done through what has been the Citizens' company's exchange and office. Charged With Forgery. Chicago, Oct. 21. J. II.

RECKLESSNESS OF COMPANIES DOE TO EXCESSIVE RATES (Continued from Page One.) or credited to the policy holder as a fixed liability. Another recommendation is of a revision of mortality tables and a readjustment of valuations of business based on the results shown. A limitation of expenses is also favored. The committee makes sharp comment on the "high financiering" of O. L. Van Laningham and the negotiation of agency company contracts with him, first the sale to him of Western territory for $250,000 and the attempted sale of this same territory shortly after to the State Agency Company at an advance of $250,000 prevented by injunction. The committee recommends that the Auditor serve notice on the officers of the State Life Company and the Great Western Agency Company that the contracts formerly made with O. L. Van Laningham and assigned to the Great Western Agency company, and the contract with the State Agency Company and assigned to the Great Western Agency Company are fraudulent, in that they provide renewal commissions on insurance existing prior to the execution of the contracts and with the obtaining of which the parties to the contract had nothing to do. It recommends also that the sale of stock in the Great Western Agency Company wih State Life insurance policies be forbidden by the same notice, and be treated as an unlawful act. Examination of State Life. A special' examination of the State Life Insurance Company is being made by the Auditor, and has been in progress for some time. The Auditor will in the near future, conduct an oral examination of the officers of the company touching certain matters. From the committee's investigation it declares its conviction that the State Life "is a solvent institution." "Its reserves are computed on a 3 per cent basis, which creates a higher proportionate reserve than any other Indiana company," says the report. "Its assets, with the exception of policy loans, which are purely premium notes, are also above criticism." Its large issue of special contracts, the committee says, can be rendered harmless by scientific methods. With the reforms suggested the company should succeed greatly, the committee says. It is recommended that the present proxy system maintaining a self-perpetuating board be overthrown by legislation, and that no proxies be valid more than a year, so that the directors will feel dependent on the policy holders for annual election. It is also recommended that the affairs of mutual companies be conducted by not less than fifteen directors. CENTERVILLE. Centerville, Oct. 22 (Spl) Dr. C. J.

Neff Tells Why the Panhandle Won't Put Them in Here Just Now NEEDED MORE ELSEWHERE HE WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING Y. M. C. A. BUILDING UNDER CONTROL OF DIVISION OFFICIALS. Richmond will not have a railroad Y. M. C. A., and it will be a year or two before it gets the railroad rest rooms, which have been so much talked of recently. When approached upon the matter yesterday Superintendent Neff, stated: "There will be no Pennsylvania railroad Y. M. C. A. in this city for two or three reasons. For one, I do not think that a Y. M. C. A. building is needed as bad among the railroad men here, as it is in other places. Richmond affords all the first class attractions for the men that they need. They can secure first class board and room with othaccomodations. In many "towns where they need such accomodations Y. M. C. A's. are a good thing, but although I thoroughly believe that Y. M. C. A's. are all right, they some times do not fill the bill with railroaders. If wre get a railroad rest room in Richmond" it will have all the accomodations of a Y. M. C. A. but I will be in favor of keeping it under the control of the railroad, and not under the Y. M., C. A. organization. I do not believe that a rest room will be established here soon as many other cities along the system need them worse than we do here. The railroad has built two Y. M. C. A's recently that have cost them thousands of dollars and it will be some time before the officials will consider building one here." Crossing Tragedy. Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 22. A fast Chicago & Northwestern train, eastbound near Lowden, struck a carriage containing Mrs. Charles Luett, her two children and Mrs. Luett's brother-in-law, William Luett. All were instantly killed except a baby girl. The accident occurred at a grade crossing. Mtsmeaota. Minnesota has been designated the North. Star State, of which two or three explanations have been given, one on account of its geographical position, another that the north star appears in its coat of arms. It has also been called the Lake State from the great number of small lakes within its limits and the Gopher State becauso the early settlers found golphers there in such abundance that they proved a serious nuisance. Even a careful rider passing over a plain where gophers abounded was in danger of, being thrown by his horse accidentally stepping in a gopher hole. Ills Kloquenor. The curate of a country parish lately preached a charity sermon, and the collection which followed amounted to 20 7s. 4Ud. In the vestry after the service the church wardens counted it out and mentioned the' result. "Well," said the reverend preacher, "I must have preached pretty well to get all that." "No doubt you did, sir," replied one of the church wardens who had been collecting, "but the squire put in a 20 note, and he's deaf." London Mail. Too Full Fo Uterance.

FRENCH RANKERS HOLD RACK GOLD

Are Determined Not to Help Wall Street Speculators in Wild SchemesWILL RELIEVE LONDON CLAIM IS MADE THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR LEGITIMATE NEED OF TRADE. Paris, Oct. 22. The leading French financiers are keenly watching the monetarj- situation abroad. The position of Paris is fairly good and the prevailing impression is that the Bank of France will not hurt French interests by raising its discount rate. At the same time, while it is considered possible that the Bank of France might make a moderate loan of gold to the Bank of England to relieve the conditions there, it would, It is asserted, resist withdrawals of gold for America. A prominent international banker expressed the opinion that the United States would not get much more gold here, as the bank would block any attempts in that direction, not by raising the discount rate, but by exercising its option to pay in silver. The banktr said that he expressed the view of French bankers in saying the United States had sufficient funds for the legitimate requirements of trade and that there was no reason why Europe should help to finance the speculative movement in New York exchange. At the Bank of France reticence was manifested in regard to the extent to which that institution would be willing to help out the Bank of England, but it is considered entirely unlikely that the assistance, if accorded, will reach $30,000,000 to $40,000,000, the amounts referred to in current reports. Situation in London. London, Oct. 22. All the gold available in the open market, $1,250,000, was secured by the Bank of England. There was no competition on the part of the United States and the price was reduced an eighth of a penny, indicating the belief on the part of the bank that it will be able to build up its reserve by securing the larger amount of the metal available next week. Tightening the Coils. San Francisco, Oct. 22. The chain of evidence the police are fast welding around the three Meyeirs brothers, arrested on suspicion of being connected with the murder and robb'ery at the Japanese bank in this city, has been tightened. The detectives have found the man to whom the brothers sold their horse and buggy for $60 a few days after the crime. This Is the horse and rig, it Is s&id', that was left standing in front of the Japanese bank during the commission of the crime, in which the murderers escaped. The name of the purchaser, together with other important details, is being withheld, but the fact of the sale of the rig and its identification have been established beyond a doubt. Feudists in Action. Whitesburg, Ky., Oct. 21. On Dry Fork, four miles from town, Henry Brown was fired on by parties hidden In the underbrush and shot through the shoulder. He returned tire fire and Elihu Brown was wounded. Members of both sides came here and secured supplies of ammunition and firearms, declaring war to the death upon each other. County Judge Craft issued warrants for the arrest of Lenvall Cleveland and Elihu Brown, and Sheriff Crawford went with a posse of men intending to arrest the feudists. The Browns are a large and influential family, the feud being between Elihu and Henry Brown, cousins, over some land claimed by leach of them. CAMBRIDGE CITY. Cambridge , City, Oct. 22, (Spl.)

Record of the Noted Officer Who Im -Ordered to Havana. Colonel Littleton W. T. Waller of the marine corps, who has been ordered to Havana to assume command of all the marines in Cuba, is noted for his record in Cuba, in China and In the Philippines". He was appointed to the marine corps from Virginia and was commissioned second lieutenant in 18S0. He became a captain In 1890. During the American campaign against the Spanlards for the freedom of Cuba he made a fine record In the fighting around Santiago and was thanked ny Spaniards for his kindness to those of the enemy who were captured by men in his command. During the campaign in China for the suppression of the Boxers he was in command of the American marines after the relief of Colonel R. L. Meade and for his bravery under fire and excellent handling of his men was advanced to the grade of major. , It was not long after this that he made an expedition across the island of Simar that brought him both praise and blame. The marines went through terrible suffering in this expedition, were on the verge of starvation and were surrounded by treachery and conspiracy on the part of the natives. It was under these conditions that he gave an order for thet killing of three natives without a trial, an act for which he was afterward court martlaled. Though he was acquitted on the ground that it was Justified as an act of martial law. General Chaffee, then In command of the department of the Philippines, disapproved the findings and characterized the incident as a most regrettable act. It was during his court martial that Colonel Waller testified to General Jacob-II. Smith's order to make Samar "a howling wilderness."
