The committee of fifteen of the na tional organization of insurance com missioners Was busy today in receiving reports of subcommittees and approving drafts of bills for uniform legislation, which, if adopted, will make a material difference in the operation of the big old-line life insurance companies. The committee was called to order in the capitol, St. Paul, today at 11 a.m. The report of the committee on mis representations, including the draft of a bill, was approved. The draft, _as presented today, included the following important section: "No life insurance corporation, offi cer, director or agent, shall issue or cir culate any estimate, illustration, circu lar or statement in any part misrepre senting the terms of any policy issued by it, or the benefits or advantages promised, or the dividends or share of surplus to be received thereon: nor shall any company use any title or any pol icy, or class of policies, misrepresenting the true nature thereof." The committee on investments, H. R. Prewitt, Benjamin F. Crouse and Ed ward T. Young, presented a bill, in part a copy or the New York law, designating what investments shall be allowed. As to Investments. It provides that "no domestic life company, after June 1, 1907, shall in vest in or loan on any shares of stock of any corporation other than a muni cipal corporation, nor, excepting gov ernment, state or municipal securities, shall it invest in or loan upon any bends or obligation which shall not be secured by adequate collateral security or for more than one-third of the total value of the collateral security. Every such corporation which, on June 1, 1907, shall own any shares of stock other than public stock of municipal corpora tions whenever the same shall have been acquired, or any bonds or obliga tions of the kind above described, or said bonds or obligations shall have been acquired after March 1, 1907, shall dispose of said bonds and obliga tions Within five years from the 31st day of December, 1906, .and in each year prior to expiratiqp of said five yeara^ shall make such reduction of its nofdihgs^thfrt i-ay Be approvea in writ ing by the superintendent of insur- ance.' Loans on improved unincumbered real property are allowed to 50 per cent of the value of such property. Property Restrictions. Restrictions as to real property are as follows: FirstHandling of such property as shall be requisite for the convenient transaction of its business. SecondSuch as shall have been mortgaged to it in good faith. ThirdSuch as shall have been con veyed in satisfaction of debts previ ously contracted. FourthSuch as shall have been pur chased on judgment decrees and mort gages. All such real property is not specified in the above subdivisions, not necessary for the accommodation and convenient transaction of business, shall be dis posed of within five years after the necessary for the acommodation of its ituary Laws for Fraternals. company shall have acquired title to beheve i ish consonant with our na- same, or within five years after the tiona"lm welfare or duty to afford an came shall have ceased to have been The committee's report was long. It holds that laws governing fraternals should provide. FirstThat the rates be not less than those indicated as necessary by tho national fraternal congress mor tality table. SecondKeserve must be accumulat ed according to this table. Tho committoe recommends that fraternal society members shall have full information in regard to amounts paid out for expenses. Moneys re ceived by the society should be divided into three funds, first, for payment of current death losses second, a reserve fund third, an expense fund.

This committee has published a list of 100 words in which the spelling is reformed. This list contains such words as thru and tho as the spelling for "through" and "though." The president's official sanction of this reform movement is regarded as the most effective and speediest method of inaugurat- ing the new system of spelling thruout the country. Not only will the printed documents emanating from the president utilize the reform spelling, but his correspondence also will be spelled in the new style. As: .the spelling reform committee shall adopt new reforms they will be added to the president's list and also to that of the public printer. The simplified spellings adopted today by the president are those arranged on June 18 last by the Simplified Spelling Board. The list of 300 words is as follows: _^ Of Europe, I do ot^ a and indigentnot Chinese exclusion act in my Th of la involving compul- service eithew civil or military of labor th ou entire contracat recorded -m -the .policy, deliberate. consideration to any specific and thatUthfe $atr ers be con- ure agent writing the business 0 li sidered the agent of the.company and represent.

I should be very glad to support such legislation as you sug gest. I heartily disapprove of any gov ernmental function being employed to coerce peaceful men, and, in this con nection, I want to say I have no sym pathy with the modern construction and maladministration of the fellow-servant laws by which corporations have been enabled to saddle responsibility for their own illegal acts upon their em ployes. No more do I believe it is the function of the government to deny any wage earner the right to ask for a bet terment of his condition." What Steenerson Says. StenersonI would say that, so far as the bill of grievances is based on the ing violated and are not enforced, the same is more properly addressed to the executive and judicial branches of the government in whose hands the enforce ment of the laws and penalties for their violation has been placed. However much we may deplore lawlessness every where, the remedy would seem to lie more in the direction of stricter en forcement and an appeal to the moral sentiment of the people than in the multiplication of legislative enact ments. Regarding^ the other, class of subjects mentioned and the failure of congress to enact proposed legislation, I will say that I am in sympathy with anthereof, discriminations the and meas ures seeking to further safeguard life and limb of those employed in the public.

KNEELS IN PRAYEB GROUND TO PIECES Foot Wedged in Railroad Trestle, Girl Meets Terrible Death. Journal Special Service.: Wilmington, Del., Aug. 24.Kneeling in prayer, after she had struggled vain ly to free her foot froni. between the ties of a Baltimore & Ohio railroad tres tle, Miss Linda Bothwell, a charming young woman of this ctiy* was ground to pieces by a .freight~train. Her. aunt, Mrs. -Bichafd Eothwell, and a- young cousin, Bichard Rothwell, were with her at the time and both were injured. There,was a farmer's. fair at the park and hundreds of persons saw the trag edy, many women fainting. The party was crossing a trestle when a whistle around a bend: in front of themwarned them that a train was approaching. The engineer saw the girl on the trestle and blew the whistle vigorously. He.applied the airbrakes and reversed the engine. The drivewheels flew around backward, sending tip showers of sparks that made the monster still more fearful, but the heavy train be hind pushed it steadily on. Nothing in the world could help Miss Eothwell then. She had to die and she knew it. Motioning her aunt and cousin to junip, she managed to kneel down on the trestle and folded her hands on her breast. Tinnenth +^e trestle tlu crowd.stood petrified with horror. There was no tinal scream from the victim. Only a crunching and a jarring of the loco motive. Half an nour after the acci dent Miss Rothwell*s heart was picked up-at the end of-4he-trestle.

Guns Bought, INSURGENTS ROUTED. Havana, Aug. 24.The first encounter in Santa Clara province occurred this morning. A detachment of rural guards attacked an insurgent band, commanded by Manuel Gonzalez, between Santo Domingo and Colon. The Insurgents were scattered and some of their anna and ammunition were captured, Havana, Aug. 24.It is believed that a battle will be fought near Pinar del Rio, capital of the province, today, if Pino Guerra, leader of the insurgents in that vicinity, carries out his evident in tentions of marching on that city. Encouraged by his bloodless successes at San Luis and.San Juan, Guerra is re ported to be gathering recruits and threatening the capital. The government has hurried troops to Pinar del Rio and will, it is believed, take the offensive, forcing a fight with Guerra if he approaches the city. A decisive engagement is possible be fore night. Crisis Draws N*ar. All eyes in Cuba are turned towards the provincial capital of Pinar del Rio, for upon the ability of Pino de Guerra to capture that city depends, it is be lieved here, the outcome of the insur rection. The outcome depends on the loyalty or disloyalty of the people. It is un deniable that Guerra is gathering hun dreds of veterans and others under his leadership, and it is impossible to esti mate the sincerity of the people in Pinar del Rio who have been looked upon as likely to support the govern ment. Moves on Guanes. Pino Guerra with most of his com mand, left San Juan de Martinez this ~"M morning with the object of occupying |$p Guanes, situated on the extension or the Western railway which is not yet in operation. &? The traffic manager of the Western railway reports that trains are run- ST&J: ning and the telegraph line operating to San' Juan de Martinez today without "-S any interruption anywhere. Guerra yestjday captured the town 3k of San Juan ae Martinez, province Pin ar del Rio. He says his policy is to occupy tow*lfeas peacefully, as possible, *r "3# r^ to continue the local authorities in of fice at present and change the officials gradually and compel the government r^^ to annul, the last elections and hoW Want Roosevelt Peace. -*k In this hour of the government's iin certainty many eyes are turned in stinctively to the United States, not in the expectation of armed intervention, which the better informed realize fm would, exce*pt in the doubtful contin gency that American interests were fi| jeopardized, be quite impossible, but 'Jl with the hope that the good office of her big neighbor may be used to restore tranquillity in the republic. The part that the United States 4 played in bringing about an end of hostilities in the far east and more re- -M cently in the happy termination of the squabble between Guatemala and San Salvador has made lasting impression -J on the Cuban mind. *3| May Be Grave Revolt. '"M The large Americap commercial in terests in the island are expected to "*S exert a strong^ moral force in support V* of law and order. ,'|ffc Meantime confusion exists as to where the lines may be drawn between the friends of the government and the" malcontents. The most serious phase VJ of the situation is the attempt of the. disturbers to make the revolt a party affair. They claim to represent the sentiment of the liberal party which in turn maintains that it numbers a ma-J"j jority of the Cuban people. If these contentions are substantiated, the affair will assume a graver aspect. In this connection the admitted lukewarmness of the rank.-and file toward the govern-" -ment is significant. ,''-.& Gomez Is Jailed. fe Jose Miguel Gomez, who was a candi date for the presidency last fall, and who was arrested Aug. 21 at his resi dence near Sancti Spiritus, province of Santa Clara, arrived here from Bata bano on a special train early this morn ing and had been escorted to the city jail before his arrival in this city be-' came known. Orestes Ferrara, who was the cam-,% paign secretary and manager of Gomez and who was with him in New York several months ago, after Gomez gave' up his presidential campaign, was' ar rested in the city of Santa Clara todays^ on the charge of conspiracy. Femura 1 is suspected of trying to secure arms.^-gg and ammunition in the United States" for the use of the insurgents. Not a Rebel Gomez Avers. Gomez in an interview said: I declare that I haye never had any! knowledge of this unfortunate conflict^ and that if I had conspired against, President Palma's administration I have more than sufficient pride to bold ly admit now. You may assure the *3 people of the United States that I have** not conspired to disturb the peace andV: prosperity of the country." Gomez declared that he had been ar rested because many of his friends were' in arms and tie reiterated his denial ofif -j, complicity in the insurrection. American Guns Ordered. The government has ordered from an American armstmanufacturing com pany four rapid-fire guns, and these pieces will manned by four or more members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove effective four*5or* or more additional guns will be deed, and it is expeeted that experi-, enced gunners can be procured for them from the United States'.
