Warren M.
POLLOCK TAKES HAND,
Kansas City Theatrical ' Muddle in
Federal Court. ' ' '
The authorities of Kansas City and
Jackson county. Mo., are temporarily
restrained from interfering with the
operation of Sunday theaters in Kan
sas City. Last evening Judge John C.
Pollock Issued such an order tempor
arily enjoining the above authorities
upon an application made in the United
States circuit court by A. L. Cooper of
Kansas City,' attorney for the Kansas
City theaters.
. The complainants mentioned are
Bertram C. Whitney and 13 others and
the hearing upon an application to
make the temporary injunction perman
ent will be had Friday at 10 o'clock a.
m., at Kansas City. Ordinarily Judge
Phillips of Kansas City would have
been the judge to whom an application
would have been made, but the latter is
absent from his district and Judge Pol
lock was requested to act in his stead.
A. L. Cooper came to the city last ev
ening at 6:30 on the Santa Fe and re
turned to Kansas City later in the ev
ening after he had procured the re
straining order.
In making their prayer for an injunc
tion the complainants state that an ef
fort is being made to arrest them and
their employes and place them in prison
for an alleged violation of the Sunday
labor law. They claim that a violation
of the Sunday labor law has not" been
committed and that performing on a
stage is not labor within the construc
tion of the word In this particular law.
In the course of the order which was
issued last evening Judge . Pollock- sta-.
ted that- the court did not intend to'
interfere with the enforcement of a
Missouri criminal law but it was issued I
with the purpose of restraining the city
and county from interfering with per
sons lawfully practicing a lawful pro
fession In a lawful manner until the
Jurisdiction of the court and the equity
of the parties to the order should have
been established.
The following city and county offi
cials were especially mentioned in the
restraining order: Henry M. Beardsley,
Andrew E. Gallagher, and Elliott B,
Jones, police commissioners; Andrew
E. Thomas, clerk of the criminal court;
Albert Heslip, marshal of the criminal
court; Isaac B. Kimbrell, prosecuting
attorney, and Daniel Ahern, chief of
police.

FRANK TRUAX RIDES IN PUBLIC.
Champion "Broncho Buster" Will Give
Exhibition Saturday.'
Frank Truax, who" gave a creditable
exhibition of broncho riding at the ball
park, will give another performance Sat
urday afternoon which promises to
eclipse anything of the kind ever seen In
this cart of the country. His work last
week was excellent from every stand
point, though the attendance was misera
bly small on account of the ball game at
Washburn Park. ,
Frank Truax. Champion Broncho
Buster.
Truax is a rider of "more than local note
and is the possessor of a diamond studded
medal awarded him by the commission
ers of St. Louis during the world's fair
when he was proclaimed champion over
all competitors. He has a string of half
a dozen "outlaws" and a number of oth
ers are promised by farmers living near
the city. Truax will ride anything wear
ing a horse hide and that without saddle
or stirrups.
A new feature has been added for the
exhibition Saturdav. One of the wildest
and fiercest horses in the bunch will be
hitched to a buggy and two men will take
places in the seat. The horse will not be
bridled and there will be no lines of any
kind or other restraint and 4he animal
turned loose. The man who keeps his
seat the longest will be given a prize of
five dollars.
Truax has ridden all over the United
States, having traveled for years with
wild west shows and like traveling ag
gregations, riding the fiercest and wildest
horses offered. He has been injured many
times by horses falling on him and after
wards trampling him, but has never yet
attempted to ride an animal Without suc
cess, though on several occasions the suc
cessful ride was postponed until after he
had recovered from Injuries received in
the first attempt. The admission includes
a seat in the grand stand and is 25 cents.
LET CHINESE COME.
Seth Low Says Only the Coolie Class
Should Be Excluded.
Chicago. Oct. 24. Immigration,
with special reference to the Chinese
exclusion act, was discussed by former
Mayor Seth Low of New York in an
address before the Chicago association
of commerce.
Mr. Low indorsed the socalled
"Roosevelt policy" of excluding from
this country only the class of Chinese
known as "Coolies."
"I am In favor of the purpose, but
not the form of the Chinese exclusion
act." said Mr. Low. "President Roofie
velt is right in his policy of opposition
to the slavelike labor of coolies in this
free country.
"It is an insult to an old, wise and
proud race such as the Chinese to ex
clude their students and great men
from our shores. I am in sympathy
with the great object of the Chinese
exclusion act to keep the Pacific
coast free from the numerical prepon
derance of an Asiatic population. If
there ever was a matter of publib
policy In which the 'undesirable citi
zen' doctrine should be enforced to the.
limit it Is the immigration question.
"Degenerates and people low
morals are the most undesirable class
es of immigrants. But there should
be no educational tests. Physical fibei
and stamina should be the chief quali
ties required."

THE OTHER SIDE.
James W. Going Discusses the
Insurance'- Situation.
Says Companies Are Not Making
Much Money.
NO TItUST FOR THEM.
Beport of Combination to Keep
Up Bates Unfounded.
Prices Charged in Kansas
Beally Too Low.
James W. Going,, secretary . of the
Shawnee Fire Insurance ' company
says that the publlb does not under
stand the Insurance situation. He de
nies there is such -a" thing as a Are
insurance trust to regulate rates. Mr,
Going said today:
"There Is a prevailing' opinion that
the fire insurance , companies are
banded together, and; that the prevail
ing rates result from a -combination
irusx or agreement. I am sure that
the use of a microscope, or even a tel
escope would fail to disclose such a
condition, for it does not exist. How
ever, it is my opinion that insurance
companies should be compelled by
law to charge the same rates: fthat in
the rates of one company should be
the same as those of another.) It
should be as unlawful for a flro in
surance company to.,-discriminate in
rates, as It would be for , a railroad
company. They both occupy the same
relation to tne public.
A fire insurance company should
not De permitted to discriminate in fa
vor of one of its customers to the de
triment of another, for it would tend
to encourage the one and to dis
courage the other. .
"It is the popular belief that fire in
surance rates in Kansas are too high,
out i ao not hesitate to make the
statement that they are too low. The
average loss ratio in Kansas for twen
ty-two years, is over 52 per cent
which is close to the danger line. This
average is also reduced by the loss ra
tios of previous years. , In 1885 the
less ratio was a trifle over 38 per cent,
while in 1905 it was over 66 per cent,
and in 1906 41 per cent. .
The average loss ratio for the past
ten years will disclose that the msur
ance companies in Kansas are leaving
more in the state than they are tak
ing out. I am aware of the fact that
this is contrary to the popular belief,
but "I am reciting facts and not evolv
ing theories. Adequate rates are nec
essary for solvent insurance com
panies. ;
"To have the statd infested with ir
responsible companies from outside or
from the inside would be a calamity
almost as destructive as a visitation of
grasshoppers. L -
"Missouri is now engaged in a war
fare against a certain class of com
panies who are seeking to remove
their domicile from tat state and
from other states .o Kansas. Irre
sponsible cofnpatiiea'do not make lower
rates for tepbrisibfe'" merchants. In
surance' companies that cut rates will
be compelled sooner or later to cut
their losses. This fact is patent to
anyone who will investigate the sub
ject. . . .
"The insurance department of Kan
sas stands as a bulwark to prevent the
people being imposed upon by com
panies lacking, integrity and flnanciaj
responsibility. The law contemplates
that the occupant pf the position be
versed in insurance, and the men who
have held that position in Kansas have
reflected honor upon themselves and
upon the state. The present incum
bent, Mr. Barnes, is upholding the
dignity of the office, and I am sure he
can be . depended upon to follow his
predecessors in preventing the people
of this state being imposed upon.
"The business of fire insurance from
a national standpoint has afforded but
a meager profit to the fire insurance
companies. For the. past twenty years
the profit in underwriting will not ex
ceed two per cent on the invested cap
ital. What little money is derived
from the business is from the invest,
ment account, as will be disclosed by
consulting the statement of any com
pany. The Investment account of k
fire insurance company, bears the saino
relation to its business that advertis
ing would to the daily newspaper. The
fire . underwriting is the subscription
list. The average newspaper wouid
make about the same profits from its
subscription list alone that the insur
ance company would make from its
fire underwriting.
"Fire : insurance companies should
be conflagration proof and, in order to
place themselves in that position, rates
should be sufficient that reasonable ac
cumulations could be made to provide
for these contingencies which occur at
regular intervals.
"I again repeat that rates are too
low and not too high. For a fire in
surance company to cut a rate should
be equivalent to cutting its throat, and
should be prohibited by law.
"The laws of Kansas and of the oth
er states very properly require fire in
surance companies to maintain a re
serve. This would be absolutely mean
ingless and without force and effect un
less adequate rates were collected. A
fire Insurance company that collected
a rate 50 per cent less than It should
be. would necessarily have its reserve
depleted to the same extent. The re
serve Is a protection to the policy

holders. Inadequate rates will result In
inadequate reserves.
"Fire insurance is not a commodity,
but modern conditions have made it a
necessity. In place of rate wars there
should be rate uniformity and co-operation.
This would result in cheaper
rates and would be a fulfillment of the
noble and generous purposes which or
iginally inspired the . organization of
fire insurance companies where the
many contribute- to aesuage the misfor
tunes of the few. In place of offering
encouragement to companies without
assets and integrity, the various insur
ance departments do and should further
promote the financial integrity of the
institutions which bear the burdens of
taxations and comply with the laws of
the respective states. Companies that
disregard the statutes of the state oc- j
cupy the same relation to the laws as
the Kansas jointist.
"This is the logical condition which
should exist between fire insurance
companies and the public, and which
win preva.l before many years.
DAWES WAS FIERCE.
Attacked the Government and Defend
ed the RockefeUers.
. Chicago, Oct. 24. Delegates to the
National Civic Federation convention
today were eagerly discussing the re
marks made at the meeting last night
by Charles G. Dawes, ex-comptroller
of the currency.
Mr. Dawes made a sharp attack
upon the federal department of justice.
virtually charging the office of the at
torney general with making "gallery
plays." He said in part:
"I can not say that it is intentional
on -the part of the department of jus
tice, but some of its actions look re
markably as If favoritism was being
displayed in the selection of the com
binations to be investigated, and in
the manner of attack...'- i .
It is inevitable that the man who
does things is in the public eye, and an
attack upon him will always win pub
licity. It is remarkable that, the cases
handled by the department of justice
always are tried in the newspapers be
fore they get Into the courts."
The speaker also criticised the
magazine writer, who, he said, made a
practice of attacking the men who ac
complished great things in the mercan
tile and financial world.
He then entered upon a defense of
the financiers of New York, assertlngr
that many of the men who have borne
the lash during the last four years are
doing a work for the good of the coun
try, the value of -which it is hard to
estimate.
"They are seeking, he said, "to up
hold the credit upon which prosperity
rests. - They are seeking to save the
opportunity for the profitable con
tinuance of men who handle merchan
dise, of men in manufacturing enter
prises and in all other walks of life."
in conclusion, Mr. uawes urgea me
amendment of the Sherman antitrust
law so as to avoid implication that alt
combines are of criminal character,
and more specifically indicate which
are criminal.
The first address delivered in today's
session was that of HerDert Knox
Smith of the federal bureau of corpor
ations, who spoke upon "Administra
tive Regulations of Corporations."
L. A. Tompkins or cnariotte, jn.
speaking on "The Railways and the

be brought within one general federal

MOTOR ROADS LV AFRICA.
Auto Freight Service to Run Between
the Congo and the Nile.
In the .Congo Free State, under the
direction of a central automobile de
partment, more than a year s work
nas been done in the construction of
special highways and the establish
ment of the forerunners or a networic
of automobile freight lines.
The road on which work is being
most rapidly pushed, and on the
completed portion of which freight is i
now being transported, will be the j
enterurises. It will connect the Con
go with the Nile at Rajaf, only a short
distance south or uonaoKoro, wnicn
is now reached regularly by passenger
and freight steamers from Khartum.
When the freight road, is com
pleted, in about two years, the upper
Congo will have automobile, steam
boat and rail connections witn tne
Mediterranean, as well as steam trans
portation to the mouth of the Congo
and Europe.
The starting point Is about 600
miles up the Congo above Stanley
Pool. There are somd long stretches
of navigation where the loaded auto
mobiles will be ' carried on small
steamers, but the total length of tne
freight road will be 500 miles.
The attitude of the natives along
the Welle Maku toward the advanc
ing enterprises is highly gratifying
to the authorities. They give a
hearty welcome to the whites. The
chiefs have complained that the car
rier service between the Belgian
posts takes too many men from their
usual pursuits, and the whole region
is happy over the fact that the freight
road will entirely do away with the
caravans of porters carrying loads on
their backs for hundreds of miles.
Manzall, the most important chief
of this section, on his own initiative,
says that if they pay his subjects
the usual price for work by the day
the whites need not bother them
selves with the question of labor sup
ply. He will provide the men and
take them from the villages near
where the road Is being built.
The entire road will be first class
for the heavy hauling intended, and
perfect drainage is being provided at
every point. For some years the gov
ernment has been experimenting with
two or three types of automobile
freight carriers.
A well known English machine was
finally rejected, chiefly on account of
its excessive weight, and a Belgian
wagon, especially built for tropical
service, has been adopted, and is said
to be satisfactory in all respects. The
only change in it which the report
recommends is that certain Congo in
stead of European woods be used in
the construction of the machines now
building for the service.
As fast as the road is completed the
wagons are hauling - material and
supplies to the roadbed, giving the
machines and roadbed a thorough
test. The loaded wagons travel at
the rate of ten to twelve miles an
hour, and it is expected that this will
be the average speed between the
Congo and the Nile when thesystemof
highways is completed and the traffic
Is , fully In operation. The . Motor

WANT THE CHINESE.
Salmon Packers Say No One Else Can
Do the Work.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 24. The cannery
men of southeastern Alaska are pre
paring to make a fight in congress for
a revision of the Chinese exclusion act,
so as to permit the-importation of can
nery laborers under heavy bonds. The
cannery men claim that unless some
step is taken to provide more Chinese
laborers for the work in Alaska, the
pack will have to be curtailed. At
tempts to utilize white, Japanese anc
Indian labor were not wholly success
ful. It is claimed the Chinese alone,
are satisfactory but under the existing
law can not be obtained In sufficient

In his petition Krhart set forth that on
November 10, l&S, he entered into an
agreement In writing with the defendant,
Poliey. Erhart had muscular rheumatism
and desired to get rid of It. Polley had a
concoction which ha called "Salvar."
which he guaranteed to cure the plaintiff.
Plaintiff was to pay him $30 for four bot
tles of "Salvar," and if he was not cured
ha should get his money back. He took
the four bottles, but got no relief from
his rheumatism, and therefore demanded
the return of his $30. Polley refused to
meet the demand, hence the suit. Polly'
defense was that the plaintiff had ossifi
cation instead of rheumatism, and It wa
therefore not the fault of the medlcina
that he was not cured. The court didn't
seem to care a whoop what Erhart had,
other than he had a written contract
