BEES AT s-200 EACH.
f Woman 'Apiarist Insures "Queens"
from Italy.
?oora Italian aueen bees, valued at from 150
1 to 2290 each, arrived on Saturday en the steamship
; St. * Paul. They are the property of Mrs. R. C.
Biggn. of Arkansas City. Kan., who herself accom
panied them.
Salerno, Italy, it seems, is headquarters for the
fittest variety of Italian Queen, and thither Mrs.
Biggs, went for the express purpose of buying a
Bomber of these valuable little insects.
•The Italian queen." said Mrs. Riggs, in speaking
•I* bar purchase, "is much larjjer than the ordinary
bee and is of a beautiful light gold a lor. It is
.worth literally dozens of times its own weight in
gold, because of its marvellous productivity. No
other bee can compare with it in this respect."
Of course., having a valuable lot of merchandise
la her possession— her new bees are valued at
91.900— Mrs. Rigßs wanted to have them insured.
The average person wouldn't know where to go or
what to do to get a swarm of bees insured. Jmt
lire. Rtsgs did. An Italian company assumed the
risk for the tiny croatureß on their voyage to Amer
ica, mo that her only danger lay in the Journey l>e
twren Ken- Vcrk and Arkansas City.
"Of the tens of thousands of people who eat
honey or who see been flitting about among the
clover blooms in summer." said Mrs. Rises, "very
few know anything- of the trouble entailed in rats
ing bees or realise the immense capital thai is in
vested m apiculture. During the sixteen years
That I have been in the business I have expended
something like $125,000 < n my apiaries. The re
. turns. ever. have bern fairly large, as I market
ay honey in many cities.
"Bee farming is not a business out of which the
novice can expect to reap much of a harvest. Peo
ple seem to think any fool can. make money at
bees. It Isn't so. Toe theoretical and practical sides
of apiculture must be thoroughly mastered If one
Is to succeed in it. and that takes many years.
"Incidentally, the bee farmer must not be sus
ceptthle to the virus <f the sting. Every one who
handles bees or is with them much must expect
necessarily to take a certain amount of stinging,
and those who are constitutionally not fitted to
stand it are seriously handicapped In business."
Mm. Rises declares that she is absolutely im
mune. "And yet 1 have been stung hundreds of
times at once." she says. "All my assistants are
equally Immune -in fact. I won't engage un em
ploye permanently who Is not."
One of the funny things ahoiit this whole busi
ness is that getting "stung" is supposed to be go<^l
for the "rheumatlz." lira Kfggs says she actually
has people come to people who are tortured by
rheumatism— who ask the privilege of placing them
selves In the way of being badly stung. Of course,
she is always willing to accommodate them.
"And. oddly enough," she laughed. In telling
about the queer request. "I have known cases
where petting stung really did relieve terrible at
tacks of the disease — ut least, the Ktifferers declared
It <6id. jir.d they ought to know."
The seed which a man sows lie r^aps, and no
other; the deed which a man does reacts upon him,
and no other: the work which a man performs
leeds him, and he is fed in do other Hamil
ton Mabie.

TO AIR SKELETONS.
Women Clerks to Examine Divorce
Records for Twenty Years.
The appearance yesterday In the County Court
liousp of a detachment of government clerks from
the <>r.sus Bureau at Washington for the purpose
of making records of all the divorces granted in
this city during the las<t twenty years will prob
ably occasion considerable alarm among people
whose family skeletons havr lain hidden for years
in musty archives, and who, naturally, do not
want to sec them executing skirt dances In public.
These people have been uneasy In their minds
ever since Congress authorized the Census Bureau
to examine the divorce records of all the principal
cities and county seats In the United States, with
a view to pr-eiiaring a full an<l complete record
of all the divorces granted in the United States
during the last twenty yeara. and these appre
hensions have !>eeu increased by a rumor that the
Individuals concerned would be visited. All thla
alarm, according to William H. Jarvts. who Is in
charge of the detachment of clerks in the County
Courthouse, is quite unnecessary.
"The report cards will he made out without
names." be said, "and after they are handed in no
one will be ahle to tell one from another. No one
will see the names In any case except the person
who examines the record and he will lie « sworn
government clerk, subject to fine and iinpriaon
ment as well as loss Of position If lie divulges In
formation obTaitieti In this way.
"It is not true that we are going to call on the
p.-rs.ms concerned in divorce cases, and 1 am not
Sure thai we will open the Healed cases. No
doulii. If It becomes necessary that we should.
i ho .-onits will grant the necessary permission, but
it is likely Unit we will rind ull the Information re
quireii about these i-ascs on the puhlio records.
Tlie Census Bureau isn't interested in anybody's
secret. All it wants is totals."
The divorce clerks have taken possession of the
Surrogates' Court, over the ground Boor of the
fount) Courthouse, only two or three men w-?re
t.' be seen yesterday, the rest were women. They
were all gathered round a lars«- table in white
waists and fluffy pompadours, and appeared, to
tint! the supposed sensational records they were ex
amining as dry us dust.
"We ;ire usinn the women." Mr. ,la.rvls said,
"simply Because we haven't men enough to go
around We will employ them In the lar^e. cities.
wher.e we can have a man iti charge of them. It
doesn't seem desirable to have them travelling
around alone from county seat to county seat. 80
men will be detailed for that work."
Returns have been supplied to Mr. .larvls and his
staff concerning all -ases brought In the Supreme
• 'oiiit. and ato'J In the Court of Common Pleas and
the Supreme Court, and which were argued in the
UK. The following questions
are t<> be answered:
First— State or country in which married.
Second— Date of marriage.
Third— Date <>f separation
Fourth— Date of tiling petition.
Fifth— Wbo was libellant'.' nusband? Wife?
Sixth -Mow was notice served? Personally? By
publication?
Seventh- -Was case contested?
Kii4ht;-, Was decree Ktiinteii?
Ninth I>at- of decree or judgment.
Tenth- Number of years married.
Eleventh Cause for which divorced.
Twelfth— if not direct, was Intemperance an in
<i i r»-< ■ t cause?
Thirteenth— Kind of divorce. Absolute? Limited?
Fourteenth— Number of children. By this i>nion.
Affected by decree.
Fifteenth'— Was alimony asked?
Sixteenth— uas alimony granted?
Seventeenth— Occupation of husband. Wife.
Eighteenth— Residence of lihellee.

SLAP FROM MTUNTOCK
Calls International PoHcyholdcrs'
Committee "Small Potatoes."
Emory McCllntock. vice-president of the Mut
ual Life Insurance Company, having been quoted
as saying that he approved of the make-up of
the International policyholders* committee, said
yesterday that he wanted to make his position
clear.
"I think that, Individually, they are respect
able and able men." said Mr. McClintock. "but
as a committee I consider them as very small
potatoes. I think they are out of place. I
might illustrate by saying that they remind me
of the definition of dirt given by a college pro
fessor, when c said that dirt was matter out
of place."
Mr. McClintock is much pleased with the re
port of the select committee of the House of
Lords In England, which has declared that It
does not think it desirable to compel foreign
companies to deposit funds in that country.
"That report." said he, "is the best thing that
has appeared on Insurance from any source in
the last ten years. They put nothing in the re
port to which I objected, and included every
thing for which I asked."
VUe-President McClintock spent several weeks
in England early In the summer, and appeared
before the committee of the House of Lords
which was appointed to inquire into what steps
should be taken to provide adequate security for
the British policy-holders in life insurance com
panies which have headquarters outside of the
I'uited Kingdom.
There were no developments yesterday in the
situation caused by the sudden resignation of
Seymour Eaton as secretary of the International
Policyholders* Committee. Mr. Eaton is still at
his home In Philadelphia. Kx-Judge Alton B.
Parker, chairman of the executive committee, to
whom Mr. Eaton addressed a letter on Saturday,
asking that he be allowed to stata his reasons
for resigning before the entire committee, did
not cogie down from Bsopus yesterday. There
will be a meeting of the executive committee to
morrow, when Mr. Eaton's request will be con
sidered,
Vlce-President McClintock denied a ltport
that the decision of the Mutual Life to leave
France was to be reconsidered, and. when asked
why the New York 1,1 fe could afford to remain
in France, while the Mutual Life could not see
its way clear to do so, replied:
It is a question of principle or opinion. In
the first place, the New York LitV is not preju
diced against putting up money anywhere us a
special deposit. I have always boen opposed to
this. The Mutual Life has only one class of
policyholders, and all jret the same dividends
on the same kind of policy. The. New York Life
keeps a different wet of books for each country
In which It does business, and pays dividends In
each country according to the mortality and the
interest on the reserve In that country. I sup
pose the French policyholders of the New York
Life will suffer a loss in dividends barause of
the loss in Interest on the reserve they will have
to put up there in order to continue business.
Our French policy-holders will not lose any in
dividends, because we will not lose any Interest.
In reply to many inquiries, the Mutual Life
is Issuing a circular stating Its future policy on
deferred and annual dividend policies. The
annual report for this year will include a state
ment of funds held for future dividends on poli
cies on which the apportionment of the divi
dends 1? deferred, and the statement will show
the total amount so held for each period of dis
tribution.
There is to be a meeting of the agency com
mittee of the Mutual Life on Thursday. At
that time the question of Increasing the pre
miums on the limited payment life policies after
the first of the year may be considered. The in
crease will be merely to meet the premiums on
similar policies which have been charged by
the other large wynpanies for some years.
Maurice Untermyer,'- brother of Samuel l*n
termyer, who for several months has been en
gaged in organizing the policyholders* commit
tees In various foreign countries, returned on
the Kaiserln Auguste Victoria on Saturday. He
said yesterday that he could not talk of the
situation abroad until he had made his report to
the officers of the International committee.
Samuel T'ntermyer returned from Bar Hnrbor to
his country home In Yonkers yesterday. He is not
well, ami probably will not take an active purt In
insurance affairs In this city for a few days
PLAN INSURANCE LAWS.
Suggestions from Special Committee
of Bar Association.
Omaha. Aug. 13.— The report of the com
mittee on insurance laws of the American Bar
Association, to be submitted to the convention
of the association in St. Paul on August 29. was
made public to-day by Ralph W. Breckenrldge,
of Omaha, chairman of the committee. The re
port makes the following recommendations:
That the insurance committee be directed to
draft and report to the next annual meeting of
the association a bill that shall safeguard the
Interests of the life companies and their policy
holders, but which shall require deferred divi
dends on life policies to be biennially appor
tioned, credited and certified to the holders of
eueh policies.
The repeal of the so-called reciprocal or retali
atory tax laws.
The repeal of the valued policy laws.
The creation In each state of the office of flre
marshal.
Stricter Incorporation laws In the seveml
states, with particular reference to the capital
stock anli stockholders' obligations in insurance
companies.
The enactment of a federal statute forbidding
the use of tho mails to persons, associations, co
partnerships or corporations, conducting any
kind of insurance business in the United States,
who are not licensed to transact such business by
the states where such persons, associations, -o
partnerships or corporations are domiciled or un
der whose laws any such corporations are
created.
The enactment, of a federal statute providing
for the supervision of Interstate transactions in
insurance.
Appended to the report Is a copy of a bill
proposed for enactment by Congress to establish
In the Department of Commerce and Labor a
bureau of Insurance.
After giving figures to show the Immensity of the
insurance business in the United States, the report
says:
More people are therefore concerned with insur
ance than with any other institution of modern life
and the public interest in insurance ts intense. But
the almost universal ijrnorance with regard to It
and the principles upon which It is based has made
possible, through legislation ostensibly supervis
ory but actually destructive In Ui> tendency a
greater menace lo the interests of the policviiold
rrs than they havo suffered through the ml.MjudK
ment and dishonesty of company officials mid the
Incompetence or unfaithfulness characteristic of
the majority of the state Insurance departments.
The most conspicuous exhibition of legislative
unwisdom is found In the bills prepared by the
Armstrong committee and passed by the NVw York
legislature- the most conspicuous because it has
had the widest advertisement and because of the
things which the committee might hay« dona but
failed to do, and Its Ignorance of the subject con
f eased.
Of state insurance •leparttr.ents the report says:
The trouble Is that th» state insurance* depart
rnenta are sinecures. They are political prises.
Knowledge of the Insurance business Is the last
thing required. They are mere collection agencies.
They offer the most seductive opportunities for
fraud and graft thai exist In the I'nited States.

SINCLAIR COLONY PLAN.
Cost of Instituting Project Esti
mated To Be 's27s Jooo.
Fifteen persons, mostly women. Interested
enough in the plans ' for Upton Sinclair^ home
colony to pay $10 each . for membership in the
colony gathered- in the auditorium of the West
Side ■ branch of the Young Men's Christian As
sociation Building. In West Slth street, yesterday,
to hear the report of the committee on plan and
scope read. „.15 ./.■
The report said that it seemed best to adopt one
hundred families as a standard for the preliminary
calculations, as . one hundred families would con
tain about two hundred adults and one hundred
children. With this as a basis the number of em
ployes was figured at seventy-five, although the re
port stated that It was believed this number
could be cut one-third by work done by the mem
bers of the colony.
It was also estimated in the report that the 100
families would require 60 cottages and SO rooms
In the main building, with 60 additional rooms for
workers and guests. ■_ ,
A suitable hotel, within an hour of New lork
City, would cost Siuu.ouo. according to the estimate
of the committee. One-half an acre of land was
allowed to each of the 60 cottages. 20 acres for the
children's colony and 50 acres for the common
building and the recreation ground, making 100
acres in all, and thl3 land was estimated as cost
ing $300 an acre.
"Undoubtedly the colony could save enormously
by raising its own supplies." the report continues,
"but this would mean about 500 acres of land and
a large equipment for stock farms, truck, fruit and
poultry farms, and in case the capital for this
was not available at the outset the colony might
purchase its food supplies at wholesale prices."
The report declares "the milk supply of the
community should, under no circumstances, be In
trusted to a profltmaking enterprise."
The committee estimated that all capital Invest
ed will bear interest at 6 per cent- The report says
that "a comfortable five room cottage, without
provision for cooking or servants, can be built for
$1,500." For public works the committee figures
$105,000. divided as follows: Water supply, pumping
stations and distributing mains. $25,000; sewage sys
tem, $10,000; sewage disposal system. $10,000; elec
tric light and steam heating system. $60,000. The
cost of the administration is put In the report as
$4,220 annually.
The committee decided to adopt as cost of com
missary the figures given In the treasurer's report of

Si;:pnse Sprung at Congress Convention in
Cumberland County. Pear.
[B" Tslegraph to The Tribune!
Carlisle, Perm.. Aug. IS.— A surprise was sprung
to-day at the Cumberland County Democratic
convention in the naming of John Lindner, a
successful shoe manufacturer and a lifelong Re
publican, as Democratic Congress nominee to op
pose Martin E. Olmstead, present Congressman
from this district, a wealthy corporation lawyer
and a leader In the present House.
This district is usually Republican, but the
Democrats think the expected ami-machine vote
in Pennsylvania thts fall will make Lindner a
winner. Lindner has manufactured shoes here
for twenty years and is about forty-five years
old. Olmstead's friends contend that Lindner's
inability to get the Lincoln party Indorsement
will keep him out of the running. This district
Is composed of Dauphin, Lebanon and Cumber
land counties.
