The list of insurance on the McCormick reaper works, which has been made public following the fire in the plant, elicits considerable interest owing to the fancy lines written at the rate of 30 cents. The damage was confined to the forty-seventh item of the general form. in the neighborhood of $50,000. The list of insurance is as follows: English Companies. Com. Union. North B. & M. Norwich Unioa. London & Lancashire. Lancashire. Liverpool & L. &G. Law U. & C. Manchester. Phoenix. Palatine. Royal Exchange. Royal. Union, American Companies. Agricultural. Atlas, American N. J. Boston. Coumty, Pa. Connecticut. Colonial. Continental. Equitable. The above named companies are of the same combination that fixed the rate of $2.50 per $1,000 on Montgomery Ward & Co’s new warehouse and reduced the rate on Sears Roebuck & Co’s warehause to $2.60 per $1,000, Nearly all of these companies are admitted to Minnesota and are back of the rating combine that is continually increasing the fire tax assessments in this state wherever there is a prospect of collecting the same. This system of discrimination in favor of the large millionaire risks as against the smaller risks generally is not a new feature in fire insurance. A prominent writer on fire insurance subjects recently made the following state- ment: “[t is the same old Stand- ard Oil story, applied to fire in- surance instead of freight rates.” Quoting a prominent insurance journal on this point *The rich We will not mincg The loss will be Cincinnati Und.

It has been frequently and openly stated in substantial quarters in fire insurance affairs that the English companies are the leaders and most prominent advocates of this unjust system; at any rate the English com- panies are unanimous supporters of the fire insurance Union and these are Union methods.

WILL AGGEPT - 3 HIS CHALLENGE Insurgents Decide to Depose Speaker Cannon. LEADERS IN CONFERENCE Agree to Make the Effort as Soon as the Taft Bills Are Out of the Way in the House—Majority of Those Who Weakened in the Memorable Battle of March 19 Now Eager to Square Themselves. ‘Washington, April 13.—The bold Re- publican insurgents of the house have decided to accept Speaker Cannon’s dare and make an effort to knock the chip off his shoulder. Several of them, at a meeting, agreed to bring up a res- olution to depose Cannon from the speakership. The move will be made after the Taft legislation is out of the way, at the fag end of the present ses- slon. Cannon has given the insurgents the opportunity they have been wishing for. Ever since the insurgents weak- ened in the memorable battle of March 19, when they refused to vote to take Cannon out of the speakership, they have been hearing from home. The folks back there who have been led to believe that Uncle Joe is the wickedest man in the world haven’t been able to understand why the in- surgents didn’t jump at the chance to put him out of the speakership. The men who voted to keep Cannon in power, and who had been talking for months about the baleful influence he exerted in congress, have been do- ing a lot of explaining during the past three weeks. Anxious to Clear Their Skirts. Now these men see an opportunity to clear their skirts. They are urg- ing that Speaker Cannon’s dare should be accepted. In it the insurgents were taunted, in effect, with being afraid to vote with the Democrats and put him out. At a meeting of some of the {nsur- gent leaders it was determined to make this effort as soon as the Taft bills are out of the way. Before the resolution of adjourn- ment has been adopted it is planned to introduce a resolution declaring the speakership vacant. Nobody will be proposed for the place, which will be | kept vacant until next December. It is figured that by that time the elec~ tlons will be over and everybody will know the sentiment of the country on Cannonism. Also the president is ex- pected to give a free rein to this pro- gramme after his bills have beem adopted. This is the plan of the in- surgents, or of most of them. gHome 4re afraid of making a martyr of Can- non and are urging that things be left as they now stand. DECISION IN RUSSELL CASE North Dakotan Loses Bitterly Fought Identity Contest. Boston, April 13.—Dan Russell of Dickinson, N. D., loses his seven months’ identity fight for half of the estate of the late Daniel Russell of Melrose. In a decision handed down by Judge Georgc T.awton in the Mid- dlesex probate court the ranchman is declared to be “Jim” Rosseau, the French Canadian from the Adiron- dacks who disappeared years ago. The courtroom was in an uproar at the de- cision. Hundreds, of persons gathered outside and when the verdict was an- nounced it was greeted with: hisses and cat calls. : In declaring the claimant te be Rosseau, Judge Lawton based his de- cision on the testimony of Horace ‘Whitmore of Minneapolis and the Rosseau family, who claim him as son and brother: : WILL ASK FOR NEW TRIAL Dr. Miller and Mrs. Sayler Convicted of Slaying Latter's Husband. Watseka, Il., April 13.—On April 80 Judge Dibbell will hear arguments on a motion filed by the defense for a new trial for Dr. William Miller and Mrs. Lucy Sayler, who were found guilty of manslaughter in killing John B. Sayler after a four weeks’ trial and sentenced to serve twelve and three- year terms, respectively. John Grun- den, the third defendant, was acquit- ted. The citizens of Watseka, while gen- erally approving the verdict, express great sympathy for Mrs. Sayler. She has been prostrated since the verdict 'was returned and is under the care of & physician. Dr. Miller has lost much of his jaunty air of defiance, but de- olares he still believes he will be acquitted.” MANN FIRES FIRST GUN FOR MEASURE Dehate on Rallroad Bill Begun in the House. BAN ON HIGH PRICED MEAT Hundred Thousand Familles Alding Kosher Strike. New York, April 13—Bands of de- termined women marched through the East Side and other sections of the city, where the kosher meat strike is on, to prevent the opening of the re- tail butcher shops, which closed Mon- day as a protest against the high meat prices. ; Over 100,000 families, it is figured, have put a ban on meat and the housewives are insistent that the re- tallers remain closed until the whole- salers drop the prices. Kerosene, clubs and hatpins have proved an ef- fective armament of the women in closing up shops. Police details have been increased in the strike district., ‘Washington, April 13.—The opening gun in the battle in the house over the administration railroad bill, the feature of President Taft’s legislative programme, was fired by Representa- tive James R. Mann of Illinois, chair: man of the interstate commerce com- mittee, which reported the measure after a thorough revision of its text. The bill was originally introduced by Representative Townsend of Mich- igan. Mr. Mann declared that railroad transportation is an industrial neces- sity and not a mere convenience. “With a full realization,” he said, “of the benefits and the necessity of wise and successful management, op- eration and progressive construction of our railways we also realize that in the benefits which they confer upon the people they are the servants and not the masters. It is their duty to treat all persons upon equal terms. It s their due that they be treated with fairness and reasonable consid- UNCLESAM’S LATEST FIGHTER Battleship North Dakota Placed In Commission.

GET TO SUMMIT APRIL 3 Expedition Left Fairbanks on Dec. 15 and Was Thirty Days Climbing From the Base to the Highest Péint of the Famous Mountain—Maps and Data of Dr. Cook Found to Be of No Value to Explorers. Fairbanks, Alaska, April 18.—The Fairbanks expedition to Mount Mec- Kinley, the tallest peak in North America, reached the summit April 3 after a climb of one month from the base. No traces of Dr. Frederick A. Cook’s alleged ascent were found. Thomas L. Lloyd, leader of the expe- dition, has arrived here. His compan- fons were Daniel Patterson, W. R. Taylor and Charles R. McGonnigle and'all reached the top of the great mountain, The expedition, which left Fair- banks Dec. 15, while the controversy over Dr. Cook’s disputed ascent was still raging, was financed by August Peterson and-William McPhee of this city. - The plan was to go into camp on the mountain as high as possible and probably about the middle of May make a dash for the summit. The obstacles encountered were not 80 great as had been predicted. Four oamps Were established during the as- cent and a trail was blazed all the way to the crest. Up to 12,000 feet the climbing did not present unusual difficulties. Encounter Steep lce Field. For the next 4,000 feet the way led over a steep ice field, which at first seemed to forbid further progress, but through which upon exploration it was found possible to locate a path.. The final dash to the top was made from the 16,000-foot camp. Mount Mec- Kinley terminates in twin peaks of equal height, one somewhat round and covered with snow, the other com- posed of bare and wind swept rocks. On the rock peak the Fairbanks climbers placed an American flag in a mounment of stones. The expedition, which was provided with Dr. Cook’s maps and data, en- deavored to follow his supposed route, but utterly failed to verify any part of his story of an ascent. The members of the party were all experienced mountaineers and agreed to forfeit $5,000 if none ef them reached the summit. One of their objects was to verify or disprove to their own satisfaction the claim of Dr. Frederick A. Cook that he reached the summit in the fall of 1906. DIES IN POVERTY ABROAD Baroness de Roques, Mother of Mrs. Florence Maybriek. New York, April 13.—Cable dis- patches received here tell of the re- cent death in Paris of Baroness de Roques, mother of Mrs. Florence May-- brick, who spent many years in a Brit- ish prison under a life sentence.
