REDUCED RATE AFFECTS STORE DISTRICT ONLY ltwood Jenkins Corrects Erroneous Impression of General Reduction Held by Many Property Owners.

CITY STANDS ALONE Bureau Attaches Penalty to Insurance in Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Rated Under Class 2. That the Insurance report made by the Commercial club committee was full of discrepancies and Inaccuracies, due to ignorance of insurance business, was the statement today of Atwood Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins also said the residents of Richmond are under the Impression that the Dean schedule means general reductions for the entire city, since It has been placed in Class 2. The new Insurance rating to become effective when the aerial truck is in operation, covers only mercantile risks. Business houses and stocks, regardless of location, will receive the proportion of decrease guaranteed by the Sellers bureau in the promised rerating 13 per cent on brick buildings, 7 per cent on frame buildings, and 6 per cent on stocks and other mercantile risks. Dwelling Rate Stands. "The rate on dwellings has been the beBt for several years, and there will be no decreases," Mr. Jenkins said. "This rate will remain stationary, but the factories will be changed ultimately to conform with the new Dean schedule for manufacturies." Richmond's mercantile rating Is now the highest in the state, according to the Sellers bureau. Indianapolis was placed in Class 2 on the strength of ordinances Its council passed, but when that city failed to enforce the ordinances, a 5 per cent penalty was added to premiums. Terre Haute has Class 2 ratings conditionally, while Richmond is in that class with no conditions attached. It is impossible to estimate the amount of money which will be saved, insurance men declared today, by the new rate. When asked If the estimate of $35,000 made by the Commercial club committee was correct, Atwood Jenkins said: "That was only a guess. I will not make any guess on It, because too many guesses have already been made In the report. To find out the amount of money saved on premiums, It would be necessary to solicit every man effected, find the amount of insurance he carries and then have experts figure the new premium. Loses Set Too Low. "tna nf thn euesses which amused nanrnA men was the estimate of losses In 1909. The loss given fori the entire city m tnat year was z,480, and we paid out of this office alone the sum of $61,000. "The report also says the losses last year were $9,930. One ofice paid out $9,700, or $230 less than the amount given for the loss of the entire city. I know that is wrong. The estimates of the property endangered are incorrect. For instance, in the case of the Colonial building fire, it was an act of Providence that the whole business section did not go, but only the Colonial building is given as the property endangered. "In 1909, the year of the P. and N. Lawn Mower company fire, the insurance companies here lost heavily. They never In reality reap a harvest from this city. The Robinson factory has automatic sprinklers Installed when it had been paying a rate of $1.25 per hundred. The rate was reduced to 18 cents a hundred, or $18 for $10,000 insurance a year. If there had been a fire there and we paid $1,000 for the losses, the people would think we made a profit of $9,000, whereas we loseB the $18 and a few hundred in addition. "It probably will be two months before the new rates are promulgated, but rebates will date with the installation of the new aerial truck. Mr. Sellers said the chnage will cost the insurance companies $4,000, which will be spent for engineers, new forms and printed material, etc." City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Speaks on Suffrage

Mrs. Vayhinger will speak at the High School Auditorium Saturday under the auspices of the Woman's Franchise League and the WVC. T. U. organizations of the city. Before and after her address informal receptions will be held. Her subject will be "Woman's Suffrage."

ENROLLMENT GROWS A full attendance is expected at the meeting of the Bible Institute which will be held in the high school tonight. Rev. Dr. Kapp, pastor of the First English Lutheran church of Cincinnati, O., will make the address at the first session which will be held in the auditorium. Patrons of the. Institute have expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the work as it has been presented by the teachers of the difdifferent departments, and the attendance has . increased with each week's work. An enrollment of at least 450 is expected by the close of the meeting tonight. RUSSELL FIGHT (Continued from Page One.) the church felt free to express their opinions on the situation. A petition which was signed by practically all the Earlham alumni in Indianapolis, will be sent to the board of trustees of the college asking for an extensive probe of the charges of laxity preferred by Prof. Russell and although the petition states that In this petition, the board is not criticized for its action in accepting the resignation, it is understood that a large number of the petitioners will not rest until the entire administration of the college has been reorganized. The disruption between President Kelly and Prof. Elbert Russell has caused the greatest stir in the Friends church here of anything that has occurred In the past ten years. A meeting of a number of the petitioners was held Sunday and in the discussion it was shown that a large per cent was opposed to the workings of the present administration, which have led up to the present situation. "Both Kelly and Russell must go," was the expression used by one of the prominent Friends. It seemed to be the general expression of this meeting that before any settlement can be reached a reorganization must be affected. Reports from Quaker centers in other parts of the state also reveal , a great concern- over the disruption which, has- resulted from Russell's resignation. It is the leading topic of conversation wherever Friends assemble. M. Cambon

Raymond Schmidt of Indianapolis, who holds the position of state chairman of the Prohibition party. There will be a number of special features on the program in the form of recitations and songs. Richmond Prohibitionists are planning to do their share toward enrolling 200,000 voters throughout the state to vote only with the political party declaring for Prohibition In its state and national platform. The movement is well under way and Mr. Schmidt is continually speaking everywhere with a view of getting Prohibitionists, W. T. C. U. workers and temperance people generally to join in the canvass for signatures. It Is said by members of the local committee that Mr. Schmidt will explain this movement at length in his address which will be entitled, "The Shortest Cut to National Prohibition." Miss Bertha Hogan, secretary of the county Prohibition committee has the rally "in charge. She and her co-workers are striving earnestly for a large audience for which the outlook seems good. As a part of the advertising scheme, an automobile will parade the streets of Richmond a few hours each day for several days previous to the rally. The whole object of the movement is to bring the temperance forces together for National prohibition at the ballot box. SIGHTS TEN WARSHIPS. CHRISTIANA, April 14.

OPERATION TO GIVE UNFORTUNATE CHILD USE OF HER ANKLE

Central Charity, . Bureau Hopes to Correct Deformr; ity by Treatment of Specialist in Cincinnati. . After suffering from a congenital deformity of the foot and ankle bones for fourteen years, a little, girl of that age sees before her a vision of being made physically normal. The Central Charity bureau has had the case for about three months and in a short time will be ready to take some definite action towards straightening the deformed parts. A bone in the ankle failed in her infancy to fit properly in a socket. The remainder of the foot and bones grew to conform with the deformity so that the entire foot is made crooked and drawn. The girl feels no pain from walking about except the embarrassment caused by not being like her companions. The parts of the foot on which she walks have become calloused and hardened against pain. It is believed that the girl can be cured in Cincinnati. Some of the doctors here declared the socket into which the misplaced bone should fit, has filled up entirely and it will be impossible to scoop it out sufficiently to snap the bone in place. The bureau Is now corresponding with Dr. Albert Freiberg, probably the most noted physician and surgeon in Cincinnati, relative to an operation. If his reply is satisfactory, the girl will be taken there, at least for examination. RIGGS BANK DENIES CHARGES PREFERRED CY FEDERAL PROBERS WASHINGTON, April 14. The issue of veracity was clearly drawn between the Riggs National bank and Controller of the Currency Williams as a result of the suit to restrain the treasury officials from interfering with the affairs of the bank. In their statement replying to the controller's allegation of irregularities charged against the bank officials, the latter declared the controller did not state the whole truth with regard to certain brokerage transaction. "Another example of the controller's efforts to mislead the public," the statement said, "can be found In the statement that the stock brokerage business which certain officials of the bank conducted in their individual capacity has tempted young men and women to ruin in speculation. "The controller knows or at least ought to know that such a charge is utterly unfounded. The bank also points to Mr. William's intimation that the department of justice has had the affairs of the bank under consideration for some time and then fights the statement issued by the department asserting that the matter had not been before it for official consideration until the filing of the suit. Attorney Brandeis who has been retained as special counsel for the defense in the injunction suit against the official was busy today preparing a reply to the bank, which under the order of the court, must be filed Friday. OFFICIALS FROM "Y" ATTEND CONFERENCE Secretary Ellis M. Learner and Boys Secretary J. J. Somerville, of the local Y. M. C.

Leeds, who was appointed second vice president of the Commercial club, and chairman of the new industries committee, while he was away, has tendered his resignation, assigning as reason that business interests prevent him from serving. HEALTH EXPERT (Continued from Page One) es, detention resorts or hospitals for hopeless consumptives. "The extension of material aid, when necessary, in the way of gratuitous advice, food, clothing, medicines, sputum cups, gause, disinfectants, etc, in accordance with the manner outlined for the consumptive at home. "The offering of comfort, reassurance and general guidance to the immediate relatives and friends upon matters relating to the subject of prevention. "In general the primary functions of the tuberculosis dispensary is its position as a basis for further operations. Without this, the house to house visitation, with supervision of the consumptive at home is entirely impracticable in cities devoid of compulsory notification laws. Sharing Expenses. "The expenses incident to the support of the tuberculosis dispensary should be paid in part by the local health organization, but if there are no funds available for the purpose, then the expense should be paid by contributions either direct, or as a re sult of entertainments, regularly gotten up for this important benefit. "Another plan is the day resort or day cure. These consist of the use of unused race tracks, baseball parks, or other suitable localities where conva lescents of the various hospitals or the ambulent cases of tuberculosis may leave their homes for a day in the open air where they can perhaps be protected from the wind and sun and can be given at intervals throughout the day some substantial refreshment. "A comprehensive system of education along these lines is absolutely necessary to overcome the Ignorance, apathy, and indifference which the general public exhibits as to the possibilities of infection from tuberculosis. "Society probably has no greater obligation than to care for its non-hopeless, indigent consumptives. The responsibility devolving upon the commonwealth can only be discharged by the erection of state sanitoria, or convalescent farms, for those whose condition requires institutional regime, and by the construction of free tuberculosis dispensaries in thickly settled communities for the ambulent cases. Many of the people concluded in this class as a result of substantial assistance can resume their former occupations as wage earners." The breakers and other machinery used in the preparation of coal in the state of Pennsylvania represent an investment of sixty million dollars.
