BROTHER-IN-LAW SAYS RELATIVE IS BIGAMIST Charges William Ehlen, of Minneapolis, With Having Two Wives. William Ehlen, a Minneapolis cigar maker, who secured a license in St. Paul Nov. 26, and was married to Miss Mary Shief the following day by Rev. Father John J. Goergen, is charged by John Crogan, another resident of Min neapolis, with having a wife at La Crosse, Wis., from whom he has never been divorced. The La Crosse woman is a sister of Crogan's, and the latter was in St. Paul yesterday for the purpose of mak ing a thorough investigation of the matter. The search being made by Crogan is at the request of his sister, to whom, he says, Ehlen was married three years ago, leaving a short time after their marriage. He says no divorce has ever been secured by either Ehlen or his first wife. Crogan lives at 617 Fourth avenue, Minneapolis, and yesterday sent word to his sister at La Crosse asking her to come to Minneapolis at once. Since her abandonment by Ehlen wife No. 1 has been living with relatives at La Crosse, Ehlen remaining in Minne apolis. Van Sant to Speak.

Year—Joseph-Ar~ Rogers on Methods of Doing Busi ness. The St. Paul Board of Fire Under writers held its fourth annual banquet last night at Magee's preliminary to the annual meeting and election to be held Tuesday. About fifty members participated. E.

He showed that premiums of board com panies in 1901 amounted to $707,000, and losses $305,000, while the compa nies not represented j««ceived premi ums ampu»ifcj£|r to |fef,OQO. In 1902 premiurft^were $7#),-4e§, and losses $3."0,000, while the non-represented companies received about $100,000 in premiums. The good showing he held to be due to the efficiency of the local agents and inspectors, the efficient fire department and the services of the spe cial agents. Duties of Local Agents. Marcellus L. Cou£tryijaafj\ spoke upon the duties of local agents. He cited a number of questions 4ri'' which local agents are interested relative to their liabilities in certain contingencies, es pecially in relation to 4.X* cancellation of policies, and cases where agents fail to write insurance paid t&r before the loss which it is supposedrto cover oc curs. He cautioned ageiws that a re quest from the company to cancel in surance was as binding as a peremp tory order. - Joseph A. Rogers, president of the state board of local agents, was the next speaker. He saidtin part: "A woman in love is more or less fool ish, but she never finds ft out as long as the man is good to her. "As lon gas the gods of profits and divi dend were good to the tfire underwriters everything ran smoothly, but when they turned their backs and underwriting prof its ceased to accrue, then, there was "fool ishness" somewhere. And that body of men called "Western Union" set out to find what the trouble was and they were not compelled to look far before they dis covered cause of non-profit. "Years ago, a Nestor of the insurance business gave the following definition of fire underwriting: "Get the profit rate, scatter lines, avoid careless people, elimi nate the moral hazzard." This is the ancient definition. "Get the profit rate." Well, last Jan uary the Western Union started to get it by devising new schedules for application to certain risks, but the losses came in so rapidly that they thought a 25 per cent flat advance proper, and ordered it in force in March. - "Until the new schedule, advancing rates on specials and contents of all buildings and f/ame mercantile buildings and de creasing it on brick mercantile, could be applied by an increased force of in spectors. April shqwed losses about equal to premium receipts; May a slight profit; June a littl« larger profit; July a good in crease, and August still increasing, and thftn September found so much profit that a few companies began to be effected with blindness and passed business without the advance, and without the charge for un approved lighting devices. This caused trouble, and, at a meeting of the union, called special in December, it was decided to direct the 25 per cent advance called off of fifth and sixth-class towns, but to still collect it in third and fourth-class towns, as yet unrated. Or in other words, gentlemen, we find rates-Jdecreased in un protected towns and increased in protected ones. A peculiar situation, it seems to me. and it looks to a man ■''up a tree" as though the union had given us a compro mised verdict, and these verdicts are al ways unjust to all parties- Concerned. As to Scattering Lines. "Scatter your lines. That this rule is often violated is the sad experience of nearly all companies, and this is an evil mat can be evenly dMded- and changed to the agent and the companies, because or the greediness of one foi the commis sion, and of the other premium. It Is a feature of our business that can best be controlled by a level-headed field man with the proper authority. "Avoid careless people. *L 7housands of dollars are paid out in losses annually which are caused by pure and criminal carelessness, and such ipks- can be avoided. r "A burnt child dreads the fire; is a pod old maxim, but it- does not seem to have much effect In some companies.

Now we are getting out in still deeper water. "We know the quantity of a risk, and inspec tion proves the quality; but there is a competent feature and one of vital im portance that cannot be seen an invisible influence, subtle and intangible. "Moral hazard. What is the definition? I will give you one. An unknown but maliciously persistent quantity, not meas urable so far by any charges of human conception, and rateable only by the devil. "Gentlemen. I believe the time has come for us to put a premium on honesty and success, and to attach a penalty to everything else, and you will then be able to control, by an increased rate, such of the moral hazard as is perceptible." J. J. Windle. of Minneapolis, foremrly an insurance agent in St. Paul, made a brief talk in which he congratulated jocu larly himself on getting out of the busi ness. W. G. Strickland, of St. Paul, made a humorous speech followed by G. W. .-La Brande, secretary and manager of the board. ELEVATOR OWNERS MAY BE PROSECUTED Ordinance Requiring Safety Gates to Be Enforced. Last June, by the pasage of an ordi nance by the council, all owners of passenger elevators were directed to equip the gates on each floor with a safety locking device. Six months was allowed for the installation of the same. Later three more months was added. Of the 500 or more elevators In St. Paul, only one passenger elevator-own er, It is said, has complied with the demand, and a crusade of prosecutions in consequence is threatened. Even the elevators at the city hall are minus the required attachments. At first the objection was the cost and the fact that only one device was on the market, but the latter has since been removed by the appearance of two local inventions in the market. The cost for each gate is placed at about $25. The city building department has the inspection of these safety door locking devices in charge and is only awaiting the expiration of the time limit to in voke the aid of the law. As to the city hall elevators, their equipment has been called to the attention of the commission in charge of the build ing and it is expected that they will get busy shortly. To equip the eleva tors there will require an expenditure of about $500. The insurance companies handling passenger elevator business are advo cates of the safety locking arrangement and wherever used have reduced their rates. In some states the law requir ing them is a general one. HIGH SCHOOL CLASS ARRANGES REUNION Members of 1892 to Gather Together and Celebrate.

He had for some years made his home with his son, Ernest, in North St. Paul, and at the watch party he was one of the lively participants. During the evening he appeared to be in unusually good spirits, and waa enjoying a game of cards with some of the younger people, when he was stricken with heart trouble and fell from his seat to the floor. Restora tives were applied and a physician was summoned, but his life went out with the old year, his death occuring at ex actly 12 o'clock. The funeral was from the home of the son yesterday after noon, the interrment being at the cem etery in North St. Paul. The most peculiar incident connect ed with the man's death was the cards he had in his hand at the time he was stricken. The game of high five was being played, and only "four cards re mained in the hand of each player, the cards held by Mr. Michelkee being two jacks and two eights, known as a "dead man's hand."
