J. Selvage testified that he was present when the colored woman, was told by Dr. Bradley to return the bacon she was in the act of purchasing to Just, as it was tainted. Francis Hall, the colored woman, said she had been In the habit of purchasing meat from Mr. Just every Saturday, as long as he had been in business at Second and Jefferson streets.

She had already placed the piece of bacon in her basket, when Dr. Bradley informed her that it was tainted and unfit for use. L. D. Owens, a saloonkeeper, testified that he had commented on the quality of meat which Just had in his shop for sale.

He said he saw on display in his shop the hind quarter of a piece of meat which was badly tainted. He said that portions of the quarter of beef were black as a man's hat. He further testified to having seen Just shave off pieces of mouldy meat from that displayed on his counter for sale and throw them under the counter. J. S.

Goby, of the Merchants' Restaurant, testified that the general character of the meat handled by Just was bad. He was passing Just's meat Interested In similar plants In Indianapolis, Ind. The failure of both companies caused quite a flurry in the woolen manufacturing world last fall. Neither of the new owners of the property Is willing to disclose their Intentions with the property. Mr.

Fur-lonp said yesterday afternoon that it will be dismantled so far as the woolen manufacturing machinery Is concerned. Two Companies Apply. About 400 looms are Included In ths machinery of the plant and these will be removed and sold as quickly as possible. This will take about a month or six weeks, -after which the. main building and two steel warehouses, which comprise the plant, will be prepared for the reception of small manufacturing concerns'.

The machinery and electric lighting plant in the buildings will furnish ample power, light and heat for such companies and about 60,000 square feet of floor space will be provided. Two concerns already have made application for room in the buildings. Such companies as wood turning concerr.3. laundries, smalt manufacturers needing power, and similar concerns will be given room in the building. Railroad facilities are ample and It is believed Notwithstanding the Disclosures of the Arm strong Investigation, the Great Fabric of American Life insurance Is Sound.

GREAT SUCCESS. Will Be Located In the Old Eclipse Woolen Mills SECURED BY HENKY BICKEL AND WM. FURLONG. IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED IN SOUTHEPvN RAILWAY SERVICE. NO WAITING FOR CONNECTIONS Property fronting on Garden street, between Green and Walnut streets, owned for several years by the Eclipse "Woolen Mills Company, assigned, was sold yesterday by the assignee to Henry Blckel and William Furlong for $30,000.

The deal was negotiated by the Burton-Whayne Company and successfully closed yeBterday. The new owners take possession at once. The plant will be dismantled, so far as Its use as a woolen mill is concerned, but the heating, power and electric lighting machinery will be retained and the plant will be fitted up for the use of fifteen or sixteen small manufacturing concerns. The sale of the property at the price received caused some surprise in real estate circles, as the original cost of the buildings, machinery and furniture was close to $125,000. The property has been Idle for the last six months, following the assignment of the Eclipse Woolen Mills Company nearly a year ago.

The Louisville Trust Company, assignee, operated the plant for a short time after the owners assigned. Negotiations for the property were opened about a week ago and a proposition was made to purchase the property from the assignee without taking over the machinery. The proposition was not accepted and a flat offer of $30,000 for property and the complete plant and buildings was made and accepted. Plant To Be Dismantled. The plant formerly occupied by the Eclipse Woolen Mills is said to be one of the best plants In that portion of the city.

The property lies In an irregular quadrangle, fronting 312 feet on Garden street, runing east to the L. and N. railroad. It Is about eighty-feet In depth and is occupied by a large three-story brick main building and several smaller machinery and warehouses. The plant was operated successfully for several years by D.

ELECTION AS CHAIRMAN SEEMS ASSTJBED. PHILIPPINE BILL TO BE TO-DAY. WILL HAVE A CLOSE SHAVE. Washington. Mar.

1. Special. Indications point to the election of Rep resentative James W. Griggs, of Georgia, to the chairmanship ot the Democratic Congressional Committee, which will manage the campaign for the House election this fall. Mr.

Griggs' supporters claim to-night that a clear majority of the committee's membership is pledged, to him, and at the election next Tuesday night he will be named. Mr. Griggs' predictions are bonie out by tne attacKs irom lu trct.m RrnhMran niiDers. which de clare that he Is a Hearst man, and his election means that the House Democrats have "gone over" to Hearst. The Republican papers would doubtless claim that Mr.

Flood, of Virginia, is dominated by the Belmonts in case his election seemed to be as assured as that of Mr. Griggs. The Democrats have never been able to please the Republicans In the organization of their campaign committees, and this year is not an exception. A big majority of the Democrats believe that Mr. Griggs will conduct a splendid light this year, and everything points to the prospects for Democratic success being better than they have been since 1892.

The Republicans are as much at sea as ever over their chairman. Every Republican who has been mentioned for the leadership of the party is opposed to the President on railroad legislation, and nearly everything tlse he is advocating. a The Philippine Bill. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee votes to-morrow on the Philippine Tariff Bill, which passed the House several weeks ago, and reduces the Dingley tariff between the United States and the Philippine Islands to 25 per cent, of the present rates. While the bill promises to get out of the committee by the narrow vote of seven to six, there' Is ever- Indication that It will have a rough road In the Senate with its fate problematical.

Much to the regret of the House Democrats, who passed the measure through the lower branch of Congress with only a dozen dissenting votes, the measure is stoutly opposed by a number of the Senate Democrats. On the committee there are live Democrats, and only two of them, McCreary, of Kentucky, and Carmack, of Tennessee, are for the bill. These two Democrats who are beyond question taking the only Democratic position in support of the bill, believe that the tariff reduction contemplated is Democratic in every sense of the word. In the House nearly every Democrat except those representing sugar constituencies voted for the bill. The Kentucky and Tennessee members were solidly for it.

Outside of the sugar Democrats, the main opposition" of the bill comes from Republican Senators, who are opposing the measure largely for the reason that it is advocated by the President and Secretary Taft. Senator McCreary will try to amend the bill so as to remove the tarirf tax altogether between the United States and the Philippines. He is going the Republicans one better, and will not only get a vote' on his amendment In committee, but also In the Senate. To Care For Confederate Graves. What was practically Representative Underwood's bill for the establishment of a commission for the purpose of protecting, preserving and beautifying the graves of the Confederate soldiers was passed by the House this afternoon.

Representative Underwood offered his bill as an amendment to the Army Appropriation Bill, which was under consideration by the House. He made a short speech in advocacy of the amendment, and the agreement was reached that If the amendment was not pressed the committee bill would be passed. This bill Is, with minor amendments, the one which passed the 'Senate, and under its terms $200,000 Is appropriated for the purpose of caring for the graves of the Con- federate dead. While it had a favor- able report from the committee, there i was some doubt as to its finally be- coming a law, but the move of Rep- resentatlre Underwood in proposing i an amendment to the Army Bill, enact- i Ing into law practically the same measure brought the matter to a crisis, and no doubt is expressed in the concurrence of the Senate. Gen.

C. M. Shelby, of Alabama, is now In Washington, and is understood to be willing to accept the commissionship having In charge the details of the work. Senator Pettus, Representative Underwood and other Southern members of Congress will ask the President to appoint Gen. Shelby to the position.

Hearing' On Burleson Bill. The House Committee on Agriculture heard Secretary Wiison and Director North, of the Census Bureau, to-day on Representative Burleson's bill providing for the taking of a census for agricultural statistics this year and even- five vears thereafter, beginning In 1910. Mr. Burleson expects a favor-ti able report from tne committee. 1JI-rector North stated that It would cost about one million dollars to take such a census.

The census, under the terms of the bill, is to include the number of farms, their acreage and, the percentage of farms owned by those occupying the same; a classified census of live stock, with their values; the acreage of cotton, corn, wheat, rice and sugar. Farmers Want Free Seeds. It is taken as a matter of course that the House will restore the appropriation of $165,000 for the distribution ot seed, which was knocked out of the Agricultural Appropriation Bill by the committee. Farmers seem to want the seed, and while there is a difference of opinion as to the worth of the Agricultural Department shipments, the rural district representatives are afraid to back up the committee report. The appropriation, which is comparatively small.

Is one of the few where the farmer is supposed to be directly- benefited. Searching For Counsel. The Interstate. Commerce Commission is out on a still hunt for a special counsel to assist in conducting the railroad investigation imposed upon it by the Tillman-Gillespie resolution. A man of national reputation will be selected and Congress will be asked to foot the bill.

It is recognized that John G. Carlisle, of New York, the former Secretary ot the Treasury, Is the man the commission would like to have, but it is doubtful if he would accept owing to his other retentions. Charles- E. Hughes, oi New York, and Judge Calhoun, of Chicago, are also mentioned for the place. Wants More Salary.

While every member of Congress ad- hrged With Selling Taint ed Meat, DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ITS BAD CONDITION. COURT HOLDS HIS PLEA GOOD AND RELEASES HIM. PACKING HOUSES CRITICISED. Maurice Just, who was presented in the Ordinance Court yesterday afternoon on the charge of having sold tainted meat, was dismissed after a hearing of the evidence by Judge Mc-Cann. Just conducts a meat market on Saturdays on Jefferson street, a few doors east of Second street.

A lot of his meat was seized last Saturday afternoon by Dr. Sam Bradley, City Live Stock and Meat Inspector. Dr. Bradley alleged that the meat was tainted and unfit for use. Judge McCann, in rendering1 his decision yesterday, said that had it been proven that Just had knowingly disposed of tainted meat he would have lined him the limit, $100.

The evidence seemed to show, however, that the meat was purchased in good faith by Just from agents of the leading packing houses of the country. It was shown that Mr. Just never carried meat over from one Saturday to the other, and that the meat which was condemned by Dr. Bradley Saturday afternoon had been purchased by Just Saturday morning at the regular market price. Saw Bad Meat Sold.

Dr. Sam Bradley, City Dive Stock and Meat Inspector, was the first uit-ness called to testify In the case. He said that when he visited the shop of Just, he found tainted meat on and under the counter. He testified that Just showed him bills, indicating that the meat had been purchased from Armour Swift Co. and the Omaha Packing Company.

The meat which Dr. Bradle3 seized as unhealthy consisted of beef, pork, bacon, brains, shoulder bones and pig tails. He said that a barrel of decomposed bacon was standing near the counter when he entered Just's place of business. A colored woman was in the act of purchasing ten cents worth of tainted bacon, and Dr. Bradley stopped the sale.

He said that according to the bills shown him by Just, much of the meat had been purchased at from PeopJe now demand the right to know exactly what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is "pure" is not satisfactory. Candy may contain "pure" white clay or "pure" dyes and yet be very harmful. Syrups may contain "pure" glucose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or boracic acid as a necessary preservative, which may agree wan one anu ue iianiuui lu another.

Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn Hour and really be Improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious. The person who buys and eats must protoctaseJfji.ndfjirnjly a right to, and now demands, a law under which he can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been Introduced and some passed by State Legislatures; many have been offered to Congress, but ail thus far seem objectionable.

It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble lo retailers. No gov't commission or' officer has the right to fix "food standards" to define what the people shall and shall not oat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty. The Postum Cereal perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of tlie people and the details of the business of the purveyors (the retail grocer), and, guided by this experience, have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which is Intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. has a right to food protection even when he another State it is deemed proper that the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to irovern all the States. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced.

Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sjaled, or in barrels, boxes or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also inclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed the original and inasmuch as the re-taller cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add bis own name and address a guarantee of his selling the food as it is represented to him, which the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly belongs.

The remaining sections explain themselves. The Postum Cereal for example, have from the beginning of lis existence printed on the outside of each and everv pkg. of Postum and Grnpe-Nuts food a truthful and exact of what the contents were made of In order that the consumer miirbt know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy, for Instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost but a further right to a certainty no to what he eats. Or he may be will ing to buy at less cost a jelly made part Of fruit juices, suijar ijuu a jjui uujj ui glucose.

But he must be supplied with truthful information of the ingredients aim ue iiciiu.uct. irhprtv fn select his own food accu- rately. The people have allowed the slow murder of infants and adults, by tricky-makers of food, drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go personally to Washington to Impress your Congressman, but you can, in a most effective may, tell him by letter now you desire him to represent you.

BANDITS FIGHT FTJBIOUSLY AND FOTJB OFFICERS ARE KILLED. More Loss of Life As Result of Bank Robbery At Helsingf ors. Helslngfors, Finland. March 1. The pursuit of the bandits who last Monday night entered the Russian State Bank here, killed the guardian and secured $37,500, resulted to-day in another highly dramatic Incident, and cost more lives at Tammersfors, where two ol the fugitives were cornered.

One of the bandits got possession of the town hall and held It for hours, but Anally was subdued by a stream of water directed by the firemen. While Commissary of Police Balu-shin was examining the two captives, one of them grabbed a revolver from the belt of the Cnlef of Police, and with It killed Balu.shln. The bandit then dashed upstairs, where he barricaded himself in a room commanding the stairs and lobby and the street outside. There he defied the police for three hours, meanwhile haranguing from the window a crowd of thousands of persons, many of whom were in sympathy with his socialistic speeches. Two policemen who tried to pick off the desperado from a house opposite, were killed by the bandit who was an expert marksman.

After all other resources had been exhausted, the firemen were called out and poured a Hood of water Into the window. Simultaneously, a picked band of police and firemen stormed the stairs. One of the assailing party was killed, and nine were wounded before the bandit, who fought desperately witii a big knife, could be overpowered. The robber who Is a Dorpat blacksmith, boasted of membership in the Baltic Revolutionary Committee, and said the robbery of the Russian State Bank was committed to swell the revolutionary war fund. Six thousand dollars of the booty was recaptured.

THROWN FROM HORSE AGAINST TELEGRAPH POLE. George Stokker, Pormerly of Louisville, Meets Death At Haywood, Minn. Georgre Stokker, formerly a resident of Louisville, was thrown from a runaway horse at Haywood, FebT ruary 23 and sustained injuries whlefc resulted in Tiis death two hours later. His head came In contact, with a telegraph pole and his skull was fractured. News of the accident was contained In a telegram received by his sister, Mrs.

William Alt. of 2S03 Rowan street, Louisville. On the same day that her brother was killed In Minnesota, Mrs. Alt was attending the bedside of another brother, John Stokker. at his home, 202S Duncan street, Louisville.

He fell throug-h the flooring of the Fischer-Leaf foundry, sustaining1 two broken ribs and internal injuries. The horse which George Stokker was riding became frightened at a train. He threw his rider, and as the latter fell his foot caught in the stirrup. He was dragged a considerable distance, and Anally hurled against a telegraph pole. Mr.

Stokker was a prosperous commission merchant of Haywood. He left Louisville about six years ago. He is survived by a wife, two children and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. William Alt, Mrs. Anna Fleltz.

Thomas. John and Edward Stokker, of Louisville, and Mrs. Sarah Keller, of Prospect, Ky. MAN HEIR TO FORTUNE FOUND TO BE DEAD. Edward B.

Cain, of Jeffersonville, Will Go East To Settle Estate. Edward B. Cain, of 30G Sparks avenue, Jeffersonville, appeared at the office of Col. Sebastian Gunther, Chief of Police, yesterday and Informed him that his father, E. A.

Cain, concerning whose whereabouts inquiry had been made by M. L. Cadin, Chief of the Syracuse Police Department, was dead. Mr. Cain was one of the heirs of a large estate in Syracuse, and it was necessary to ascertain whether he was alive before the estate could be settled.

Edward B. Cain, the son, will write to Dr. P. C. Hubbell.

of Syracuse, relative to the estate, which is valued at about $100,000. He will make a trip to New York in his own Interest. His father was a skilled machinist, and has been dead about twelve j'ears. COUNTERFEIT $10 BILLS IN CIRCULATION HERE. Two spurious 510 bills have been detected in Louisville, which lead the authorities to believe that bogus bills are being circulated here.

The notes are of the series of 1901, plate 271, and are a good imitation of the genuine. The counterfeit notes are darker than the legal tender and the silk fiber in them is much coarser than in the Government Issue. The bogus bills are made to represent what is known as Buffalo banknotes, bear the portraits of Gen. Clark and George Lewis. The picture of Gen.

Clark Is good, but that of Gen. Lewis is not, giving him the appearance of having a hairllp. The spurious notes are signed by W. J. Lyons, Register of the Treasury, and Ellis H.

Roberts, Treasurer of the United States. Socialist Lecture. A free lecture on Socialism will be given at 8 o'clock to-night at Falls City Hall, on Market street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, by Joseph Wan-hope, of New York, who will speak under the auspices of the local Socialist organization. Mr. Wanhope is one of the most conspicuous men and best speakers in the American Socialist movement, and the Louisville adherents 'of -the 'parry 'plan' to make Mr.

Wan-hope's the first of -a. series to be given' by well-known exponents cf Socialist principles. TO REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS AND SHIPPERS OF FOODS FOR INTERSTATE SHIPMENT TO LABEL SAID FOODS AND PRINT THE CONTAINED IN SUCH FOODS ON EACH PACKAGE THEREOF. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress1 assembled. That every person, firm or corpora- -Mnnpnllnn inm rwluTi ill t- nf fnnd for shop when Dr.

Bradley made his seizure. He said that much of the brains and bacon on display in the shop was in an unhealthy condition and unfit for table use. 9 Denies Guilty Knowledge. Mr. Just testified that he had conducted a meat market on Jefferson street, near Second street, for about eight years.

He purchased most all his meat from Armour Swift the Omaha Packing Company, Louisville Packing Company, Kentucky Packing Company and occasionally from peddlers. It had been several weeks prior to the seizure by Dr. Bradley that he had purchased meat from a peddler, however. He said he always paid the regular market price for meat, and that he ever endeavored to purchase the best. The meat seized by Dr.

Bradley had been delivered to Just Saturday morning at 9 o'clock and bore the Government stamp. The bacon he was In the act of selling to the colored woman when Dr. Bradley entered, was good, he said. He insinuated that the blue Government stamps on the quarter of beef referred to by Mr. Owens, had been mistaken by the latter as black spots that seemed to indicate the unhealthy condition of tne meat.

Representatives of Armour Swift George J. Ott Co. and other large packing iiouses were intro- duced to show that Just was In the habit of purchasing only first-class meat. They testified that he always paid the market price. Several employes of Mr.

Just testi-! fied that all meat left over on Satur day nights was disposed of either to those in charge of the fertilizing plant or to Mr. Just's brother, who feeds it lo his dogs in the country. In Critical Condition. Evansville, March 1. Special.

Frank Arnold, superintendent of the Otwell, public schools, and wife, are in a critical condition as the result of eating canned salmon last night. Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty. Remember also that the safety of the people is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for selfish interests. This pure food legislation is a movement of the people for public protection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by deceiving and injuring the' people.

Therefore, if your Representative in Congress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability and if necessary demand equitable and honest service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class legislation really unworthy of a free people. Work people wanted beef suet butter because if was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. The law should have provided that pkgs.

of oleomargarine bear the statement of ingredients and then let people who desire purchase it for just what it Is. and not try to kill it by a heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes try to force measures in their own interests but contrary to the interests of the people, and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary" to the interests of the people as a whole. Witness the anti-injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill is perhaps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress, and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts relating thereto.

But when. bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interest of all the people they should receive the aotive personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senators also should be written to and instructed. If, therefore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once now write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip and inclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it through the committee considering it.

Urge its being brought to a vote and requesting that they vote for it. Some oppressively Intelligent and carping critic may say this is simply an advertisement for Postum and Grape-Nuts. It is true that these articles are spoken of here In a public manner, but they are used as Illustrations of a manufacturer seeking by example, printing on each pkg. a truthful, exact statement of ingredients, to shame other makers Into doing the fair thing by the common people, and establishing an era of pure food, but that procedure has not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods, hence this effort to arouse public sentiment and show a way out of the present condition of fraud, deceit and harm. The undersigned is paying to the publishers of America about $20,000.00 to print this announcement in practically all of the great papers and magazines, In the conduct of what he chooses to term "an educational campaign," esteemed to be of greater direct value to the people than the establishment of many libraries.

That is held to be a worthy method of using money for the public good. Tell the people facts, show them a way to help themselves, and-rely upon them to act Intelligently and effectively. The reader will be freely forgiven If he entirely forgets the reference to Postum and Grape-Nuts, if he will but join the pure food T.ovement and do things. C. W.

POST. that sufficient room will be secured for fifteen or sixteen large plants. The plan Is a new departure in Loulsvilla business circles and gives promise ot good profits. IMPROVED SERVICE Planned For Southern. Railway When Connections Are Late.

In an effort to improve the oi trains, which sometimes have been delayed heretofore by late connections, arrangements have been completed by the officials of the Southern railway to operate trains from all terminals on time, and when connections are late, the passengers and baggage from the connecting road will be handled by a second section. Plans for the change in service have just been completed and will go into effect at once. The order will affect all trains leaving terminals, where the leaving time heretofore has been governed to a certain extent by connecting: lines carrying1 through passengers destined for points on the line of the Southern railway. During the last few months some difficulty has been experienced at Danville, where the Southern connects with the O. aiid T.

railroad. The Southern, trains have been delayed on several occasions by the connections, which often carry through passengers for St. Louis. For this' reason, the Southern trains will leave Danville hereafter on schedule time and upon the arrival of the connecting train a second section will be made up to run to Loulsi-ille. The same rule will apply to connections at Louisville and at other terminal points.

puod citizenship and of human happiness, that provision should be made for the widow, the orphan and th-- aged, and made in such manner us not to wound their self-re-pect. nor release from obligation those upon whom they are normally dept-ndeiu. The particular form of policy under which a man should insure, depends entirely upon his circumstances. In an E.ivancing civilization man's needs increase, and methods become more complicated. When the New York Life In-sjranc: Companv began business in It thr-e forms of policy; now its policv forms run into the hundreds.

The earlv policies provided for the one ot death; later forms provide for ttie contingency of death in connection vdth a great many other contingencies that are equally certain to happen i r.ianv cas-s. Some of these contingencies ere:" That the insured may live long ami r-ced money in his old age; that lie may not be able to pay premiums when due; that lie tnav wish lo pav for his insurance within a fixed period; that lie may wish loan on his policy to tide him over a hard year; that he may wish to change the beneficiary, or the method of payment of the policy when it becomes a. claim. In order to provide for these contingencies, not only have many policy forms been devised, but many optional and conditional benefits have been incorporated in the ordinary policy forms; thus, instead of only term policies, and whole life policies with continuous premiums, as in IMS, the Xew York Life now issues, in addition to these, whole life policies paid up by 10. 15.

20, 25. or CO years, and a variety of other policies combining insurance with savings and annuity. A policy issued or any of the above tables of rates may provide thru it shall not participate in surplus, or may provide for distributions of surplus, annually, or at the end of longer periods; and so we get the classification of non-participating policies. Annual Dividend policies, and Deferred Dividend policies. The.

purpose of these two methods of distributing surplus is very- similar to that underlying the different forms of policy, as denote! by the premium tables upon which they are issued. That purpose is to adapt the policy to men's needs and to furnish an incentive to insure under it. As the advantages of the deferred method of distributing surplus are just now widely discussed, it may be well to examine it somewhat closely. It cannot be denied that it has accomplished Its purpose as above noted, since a large proportion of the business of American companies is written on this plan, and the companies that have made a specialty of it are the largest in the worid. It has Im-urcd men and kept them insured, and more money has been paid to widows and orphans under Deferred Dividend policies In this country than under all other forms nut together.

Under an Annual Dividend policy, the dividend makes a reduction in the cost of one's insurance every year, beginning with the second or third. Under the Deferred Dividend policy the insured pays the full premimum during a period of 10. IB or 20 years; the policies of those who die are paid In full; those who discontinue the payment of premiums receive either term Insurance or paid up insurance, the surplus arising from all policies ie accummulated until the end of the period, and Is then divided among the survivors who have kept their policies in force. The difference In results is. the insnred who die and those who discontinue the payment of premiums during the dividend period get their insurance somewhat cheaper under the Annual Dividend plan; and those who survive an-1 keep up their policies receive more surplus under the" Deferred Dividend pian.

The objection is made to the Deferred Dividend plan, that the famUie. of those who die might have had more money by using annual dividends to increase their insurance. If this were a valid objection it would prove too much, since It would put under a ban every form of policy except ihc Ordinary Life policy on the Iionpartlcipating table But men expect to live long even while they admit the constant risk of death. And, on rhe average thev are right. The man insuring at age 33 has four chances of living twenty years longer against one chance of dying in that time; why should he not.

if he so desires, provide for the four contingencies as well as for the one? Under a 20-year Endowment policy a man at the younger ages pays more than twice as much for protection against TO PROVIDE LICENSE ORDINANCE WILL BE REPORTED FAVORABLY BY COMMITTEE: Affects Small Lighting Plants Sup-. plying Neighbors Plans For Atherton Ordinance. Firms and corporations which now ell electric light and power on a email scale only will have to pay a license to the city for the privilege if the General Council passes an ordinance which will be. reported favorably by the Revision Committee of the Board of Councilmen. The ordinance is known as the Chatterson ordinance and was drawn by J.

M. Chatterson. The ordinance will affect several large buildings and hotels which have an excess of power and use it to supply adjoining buildings with electricity. It Is probable that no license will be re-Quired unless the wires of the companies pass across a street or alley. The Revision Committee will not be prepared -to make a report on the Jones-Atherton franchise ordinances at the meeting of the General Council next Tuesday night and it is probable that no report will be made at that time.

But the report will be made at the following meeting and it will be favorable to the company which Is applying for the franchise. The plan which has been suggested and which probably adopted is to provide tor a franchise covering the entire city, i 1 i i I 1 I 1 i i 1 i i i I 1 i i I i for the Courier-Journal. death as he does under the Ordinary Ltfe policy, but he receives a correspondingly greater benefit if he lives wni.cn ne uues in four eases out of five. It is the op-! eration of this principle of benefit to the unrvK-nr mokw lnsur- anee attractive, and it is the operation of the same principle, in a less degree, that makes Deferred Dividend pohcu-t Hath nro legitimate forms ol insurance, ami both attract men who iare not attracted by other forms; and thus the number of men who insure is (increased, and the number of famine who are protected Is increased. Neither form involves a forfeiture, each dis-i tributes the proceeds of a certain class of policies according to a pre-arranged and well-understood plan.

The Deferred Dividend plan performs another function, which should not be overlooked in this connection. The three elements which determine the amount ot surplus earned on life policies are: The death rate, the expense rate and the m-; terest rate, including the latter the gain or loss experienced in investing money. The death rate does not become normal until about the fifth year; the expense rate is much greater in lie first year in subsequent vears; and, while the interest rate is fairly steady, the gain or loss en investments is realized only at considerable iumrvals. It is not possible, t'u retort', to determine how much any group of policies has actually contributed to surplus unless the calculation covers a considerable period of time. The De-: emM Dividend plan, therefore, enables a company to apportion surplus to the pol-, icies of each year in a much more equitable manner 'than does the Annual Divi- nd plan.

It also enables a company to make a closer division of the surplus earned. In a company issuing only Annual Divi-Idend policies, a surplus must be aecumu-j Iated as a safety fund, over and above le-i gal liabilities, and this i.e; never ail paid out. Under the -Deferred Dividend sy- tern, when one class of ten, fifteen or twenty-year policies reaches maturity, all the surplus earned by this class may be apportioned to the policies, because the surplus of the unmatured classes there-i after acts as a safety fund until they ma-i ture, just as the surplus of maturing 'groups previous safeguarded other groups, This function is of great importance with respect to policies issued upon sub-I suuidard lives, the mortality of which cannot be so accurately determined in advance. It is only by accumulating the surplus arising under such policies dur-! ing a considerable period that such lives can be insured, except at rates, that, to many, would be prohibitive. Yet these people stand in greater need of insurance than those who rank as standard lives, and their protection by Insurance is a correspondingly greater benefit to their families and to the community at large, The New York Life took up the insur-i ance of substandard lives ten years ago.

after an exhaustive study of the subject during a period of three years, covering its own retected risks of the previous twenty years, besides other valuable data relating to the subject. It has been able to' offer lh- protection of insurance to many who were formerly unable to obtain It, and its: experience with such lives has been in practical harmony with the data upon which it was based. The Deferred Dividend system has been an added safeguard in this business, without which the company would not have felt at liberty to undertake the work. The work of the Armstrong" Investigating Committee has attracted widespread Interest, and in the end life insurance will be the better for it, although some injustice may be done by the way. There Is a tendency in public opinion to overpraise at one time and to overcriticise at another." While I am not disposed to defend any wrongdoing, it should be noted that errors of management disclosed by the Investigation have been in the nature of superficial blemishes in a great success.

The substance of the great fabric of life Insurance is sound. Life Insurance thirty years aro went through a crisis of another sort, then much of the fabric was unsound and had to be cut away. Then a large proportion of the companies failed; now the companies most criticised are acknowledged to be immensely beneficial and solvent beyond any question. It should also be noted that the investigation has unmasked some of the difficulties against which life insurance has had to contend, and an aroused public conscience should hereafter prevent their influence for evil, and render unnecessary certain measures hitherto taken against them by the companies which measures are rightfully condemned. There has been nothing disclosed by the investigation that should lead anyone who Is now Insured to discontinue nls policy, nor that should prevent the man who needs Insurance from insuring.

On the contrary the general results of the committee's work must be to render Mfe Insurance safer and more desirable than before. I think the. only qualification necessary to this last remark is the supposition that the Legislatures of the various States do not enter upon a campaign of unscientific and oppressive legislation. A keener sense, of responsibility and greater vigilance, on the part of trustees, and greater thoroughness and fuller publicity, on the part of Insurance departments, will do more than all else to correct the evils disclosed; while on the other hand hasty and Ill-considered legislation might do tenfold more harm than the business has yet suffered from errors of management. In arriving at these conclusions I have been greatly aided by Mr.

Dr. J. P. Ferguson, of 2416 West Chestnut street, was thrown from his buggy in the neighborhood of his home yesterday and suffered the frac ture of two ribs on the right side. He was otherwise uninjured.

While driving at a fast rate of speed Dr. Ferguson allowed the reins to drop from his hands. He was leaning over the dashboard in an effort to recover the lines when he lost his balance and fell. The horse came to a stand of his own accord, else Dr. Ferguson might have' been more seriously injured.
