GOSLOW,
"ININSURANCE WORK
E. Rhodes Declares Various
Reform Proposals Should
Be Carefully Sifted.
St. Louis, Oct. 24.The second day's
session of the annual conventi on of the
National Association of Li fe Under
writers was opened with an addre ss by
E E Rhod es of Newark, N J., on
"Problems of Insurance Law."
A warning against the refor ms pro
posed by honest, tho uninformed, men
and emphasis of the need of sifting
thru the complexities of the several
laws proposed recently to separate the
good and the bad, was cast by Mr.
fthodes.
"During the year four public bodi es
have expressed their views regarding
the form of legislation required in
vi ew of the disclosures of life insurance
mismanagement," he said. "These
four bodies are the New York legisla
ture, the Massachusetts commission, the
committee of fifteen appointed at a con
ference of governors, attorneys general
and insurance commissioners, and the
select committee of the British house of,
lords.
The laws enacted by the New York
legislature cannot be said to represent
the views of the legislature. Forced
upon that body by inexorable political
exigencies, backed by a party caucus,
the right of the individual members to
exerciso their own judgment was denied.
"Freely acknowledging that there is
Sood
in the Armstrong laws, I cannot
too emphatic in stating that they
are not a model, because they were
drafted by inexperienced men who saw
only one phase, because they are based
upon local conditions, because they deal
with details rather than with princi
ples, and because they were neither
prepared nor enacted with due delibera
tion.
"The Chicago conference cannot be
said to be representative, except of the
western and southern states. The com
mittee of fifteen is mainly composed of
commissioners from states in which no
large life insurance company is domi
ciled. A St. Paul, where it met to de
'termine what legislation it should rec
ommend, there was no official from the
great insurance states of Massachusetts,
Cannecticut, New York, New Jersey or
Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, this com
'inittee has commended itself to thought
ful people more than has the Armstrong
committee.
Praises Bay State Commission-.
"The
1 report of the Massachusetts
commissi on shows such evidence of
.careful deliberation, such absence of
.political considerations, such desire to
^conserve public interests, that it at
tracts to itself by it3 own weight the
greatest consideration.
i\ "The system of supervision in Great
Britain differs so greatly from that of
'".this oountry that the report of the
^English committee bears little upon the
ilans under discussion in America. Like
he report of the Massachusetts commis
Ision, it evidences sound thinking and
^intelligent comprehension of the sub
ject. I deals principally with the sug
festion that special deposits be required
rom foreign companies for the protec
tion of British policy holders, in ex
cess of the deposit of $100,000 required
of domestic companies. The conclusion
/that such deposits should not be re
quired is based upon six reasons, the
princip al and controlling ones of which
'are that such a course would violate
,the principle that the whole of the
''funds of an insurance company should
]be available for the claims of all policy
I holders alike, and that the public might
i be led to suppose that the solvency of
j-the companies was guaranteed by the'
government.
"With some slight modifications the
^provisions of the law proposed by A.
'I. Vorys, chairman of the subcommittee
on standard forms of the Chicago con
ference, which stipulate what shall be
incorporated in every policy and what
i shall not appear therein, will be found
'-ifto meet most satisfactorily the obliga
}'tions of the state to protect its cFti
Xzens, and will at the same time avoid
'the dangers of statutory forms."

Boston, Oct. 24.Governor Curtis

John ra n, democratic candidate

On Saturday last I called the atten
i ti on of the opposition candidate to his
j. failure to attend to his duty in hunt

J' the people of this commonwealth lost
thousands of dollars of their hard
earned saving s. His response is to the
effect that he has not had time to at
tend to this matter.
"He has had time to interfere in
an ordinary police court case and to de
lay the legitimate work of his office
that he might ha ul before the grand
i jurv for purposes which are eviden t, a
I college boy who happened to be the
son of the president of the United

SLEW AN ACTRESS
FOR HER DIAMONDS
Theatrical Agent Clears the Chi
cago Hotel Murder Mystery
with Confession.
Chicago, Oct. 24.Mrs. Margaret Les
lie, the actress found dead in her room
in the Palace" hotel la st Thursday, did
not commit suicide, as -was first sup
posed, but was murdered.
Herbert Nicholas, a theatrical
agent, has confessed that he aided in
the murder and that George Leopold,
a drug clerk for whom the police are
now searching, was his accomplice.
The woman's diamonds and her money
Were the motive or the crime.
Nicholas said that he and* Leopold
went to the woman's room Wednesday
night and after a few moments' con
versation he suggested that they have
a drin k, producing a bottle of whisky.
Mr s. Leslie was taking off her jewels
at the time and her back was turned
toward them. While in this^posiiion,
Leopold, according to Nicholas, seized
the woman by the throat and choked
her in to insensibility.
Throwing her on the bed they placed
a towel saturated with chloroform over
her face. The men then took some of
the woman's garments and tied them
tightly around her neck. Seizing her
jewels, which were valued at $2,001), the
men turned on the gas jet, hurried
out of the room and left the hotel.
I was the anxiety on the part of
Nicholas to realize money on the jewelry
which led to his arres t. Detectives
working on the case found some of the
diamonds in a pawnshop and they were
traced to Nicholas.

SUFFRAGISTS IN
ROLE OF MARTYRS
British Women, Who Disturbed
House of Commons, Go
jta Prison.
-London, Oct. 24.Ten woman suf
fragists who were arrested for rioting
within the precincts of the house of
commons were arraigned in a police
court today and bound over to keep
the pea ce for six months.
Such a commonplace outcome of the
affair did not meet the views of the
suffragists, who apparently desired to
assu me the roles of martyrs by being
committed to jail, and when the magi s
trate announced his decision a great
uproar broke out in the courtroom, and
ultimately the women had to be re
moved by force. Some of them were
literally Thrown out among the crowds
waiting outsi de the building.
One I Rearrested.
The shrieking women continued to
make a demonstration outside the police
court buildin g, until Mi ss Pankhurst,
who took a prominent part in the dis
turbances in the ladies' gallery in the
house of commons in April, was again
arreste d.
Some women who had been tempora
rily locked in an anteroom by the po
lice had a momentary revenge. They
managed to secure a key and released
themselves, but were again locked in
by -their jailer, who walked off with
the key.
Refuse to Give Bonds.
When the disturbance had somewhat
subsided, the police reassembl ed the
defendants, who were inform ed by the
magistrate that they must immediately
find sureties for their good behavior
or be imprisoned for two months. The
whole ten women refused to enter into
recognizances and were removed in
custod y.

MEN CALLED4
IN REBATE PROBE
FEDERAL GRAND JURORS TAKE
NEW LINE.
They Are Now Believed to Follow-

tain Transactions Revealed by the
Examination of Railroad Witnesses
"Sherm" Smith Relieves the Situa
tion. The federal inquisitors began scrap
ing down near the bone yesterday in
the rebate cases which are being pr e
sent ed to the special grand jury. Three
witnesses connected with the grain
trade were examined. Heretofore the
attention of the iurymen has been called
mainly to bundles of transparent yel
low way bill paper and musty railroad
tomes. Yesterday afterno on the ship
ping interests were called upon. And
that is where the real interest lies for.
the men who are waiting anxiously to
see who is going to get hit first among
the shippers.
Rudolph Troendle of the Bex Ele
vator company was brought back for a
siege, short er than the first one, how1
ever. James de Veau of Oarter-Sam
mis & Co. was another witne ss who was
subjected to the mystery test behind
the jury room door. When he came out
he, stalked into the private council
chamber of the federal attorneys and'
then, with an air of mystery, glided
gracefully down the stairs.
Corl's Testimony Important.
C. S. Corl of the W Devereaux
company was put on the rack also. His
testimony was estimated by the lobby:
crowd to be very valuable, owing to his
abili ty to identify certain book en
tries of a grain firm which is reported
to be figuring prominently in the jury's
deliberations.
The exodus of the Great Northern
crowd in the middle of the afterno on
session furnished a bit of amazement
that enlivened the somberness of the
day. They had be en hanging around
since morning, waiting for a chance to
talk before the 'nineteen inquisitors.
Occasionally one of them was sand
wich ed between representatives of the
Omaha road and the employees of ship
ping firms. I was a nerve-testing pro
cedure, and when Paul A. Ewert/ ap

IN BUSINESS SECTION
For the accommodation of people
who have not yet had an opportunity
to purchase tickets for the Journal ca

tiekets have been placed on sale at the
circulation counter in The Journal of
fice. The boys are still making an
^ZSSSt^Sti to *!SB5
whether they will be able to go over
the downtown district as thoroly as
they intended.
Despite the rain and sleet, the cadets
have oeen working along from one
building to another. Everywhere they
have met with the utmost courte sy and
rarely have they failed to sell two or
more ticket s. The Minneapolis public
has learned to be proud of the cadets
and is welcoming this further oppor
tunity to see the m.
A incident which illustrates the spir
it in which many staid business men
are buying tickets to .the benefit oc
curr ed when one of the boys entered
the tailoring shop of E, A. Simpson*
and offered tickets to the proprietor. A
first Mr. Simpson professed a distinct
lack of appreciation for dramatic art
and confessed frankly that lig ht opera
or vaudeville was more to his taste.
But the oy persevered and told him
of the, stirring action of "Northern
Lights*'' and how the cadets were to
have a chance to go in to action against
Chief'Iron Nation and his turbulent
SKUX
As the lad dilated on the military
features of the play. Mr. Simpson's
interest increased. *'Give me six of
those tickets, he said. "Not that I
care a rap about the show, but I want
to
Tsee you boys get up there and play
soldier. Wihen I was a kid my gang
and I used to play Indians and sol
diers all over the hills around Still
water. Those were the great days.
All it took to make an Indian was a
few hen feathers and a dab of axle
grease across his face. Wnen we were
scouts or soldiers we had gu ns we made
for ourselves out of broomsticks. W
wou ld keep up the game a week at a
time thru vacations. I guess I'm too
old to get out and play soldier now, but
it will be like old times to see you kids
do the old stunt."
