q MORE INSURANCE WAR.
Manager Leach Will BE Investi-
gated by the IJnderyyriterS

hduaSeF LedCn VIII lie InVcSCi-
gated by the Underwriters.
The Minneapolis Underwriters asso-
citation has more fights in a given time
than any other organization in Mime
apolis. There was rumor spread
abroad last hight that the union would
meet to-day and that the meeting would
be one of the hottest ever held by this
exceedingly torrid aggregation. 1t is
said that An attack will be made upon
William B. Leach, manager OF the un-
derwriterS' union. o. NJ. Laraway,
with whom the alleged charges have
been filed, could not be found yesterday,
SO the rumor is not officially confirmed.
Several other insurance men were ap-
preached on the subject. None of them
would commit himself; all who were
questioned tacitly admitted that there
were charges against Leach.
Manager Leach, as the story goes. is
accused of working in favor of the big
Four" agents-BarneS, Gale & Co., Cor
ser and Christian and Wagner. Under
the rules of the underwriters union all
inquiries regarding rates ON buildings
are referred to the rating committee.
All the business goes through Leach's
hands to the rating committee.
1t Is said that Leach has been
holding out this business from
the rating committee and has been do
ing the rating himself, cutting it below
the union scale. In this manner. it is
said, he has been using his position for
the benefit of few agencies.
The fight PROMISE to be a hot one
one of the hottest of the many hot ones
in which the union has been engaged.
If the charges against Leach be proven,
split in the union will probably oc-
cur. Some of the insurance men, it is
said, are determined to stand by Leach
at all hazards, whether he be guilty as
charged or not. If they do, then the
union must go ia pieces.
Who it is that brings these charges
against Leach is not definitely known
outside of favored few. One insur-
ance man told a GLOBE reporter that he
believed Hit q Co. to be the men who
are fighting Leach. but he was not cer-
tain OF it. Hit and other agents have
long believed that Leach didn't pay that
attention to the duties of his position
that S4,2 200 should secure.
Apropos to this latest row among the
insurance men: 1t is reported that at
one of the meetings last week one of the
agents set out to throw another agent
from the window. He was not allowed
to carry out his purpose.

MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Those who have read the telegraph
columns of the daily papers have
learned that Gen. A. 3. Nettleton,
third assistant secretary of the treasury,
is largely tangled up with some of the
ramiiications of the case against Bards-
ley, the defaulting treasurer of Phil
adelphia. Gen. Nettleton is Mime
apoiiS man. In view of the connection
OF his name with this case, isn't it
peculiar that none of tie Minneapolis
papers have arisen TO defend his name
and fame? Nor does one run across on
the street men who are anxious to
stand and argue that Gen. Nettleton is
one of the few saints left on
earth, the last man to be con-
nected with anything having queer
look. Ii is possible that Minneapolis
people are not in love with this dis
tinguished citizen. When misfortune
Overtakes good man, or when clouds
lower, his neighbors should be the first
one to defend him, for they know him
best. Are not MinneapolitanS anxious
TO speak well of tile general? Anyhow,
there is one body of men in MinneapO
lis who will he disappointed if Nettle-
ton succeeds in clearing his coat tails of
all suspicion in this Bardsley case.
These men are the printers. The mem
bers of the Minneapolis Typographical
union have never forgotten that some of
their brothers were killed in the Trib-
une fire. They will never cease to
charge NettletOn with the Responsibility
for those casualties in refusing, or at
least neglecting, to provide fire escapes
for that building.
Sunday base ball may come again.
There is scheme on foot to have some
Sunday games at the Minnehaha Dry
ing park. The driving park association

Vided popular sentiment is not too
Strongly against it. There is much to
be said in favor of Sunday base ball at
Minnehaha Driving park. The location
is remote enough from the settled por-
tions of the city to do away with the
disturbance objection. No one would
be disturbed by base ball out there. AS
a desecration of the Sabbath 1t is no
worse than the Sunday theater, or con.
certs at Lake Harriet, for that matter,
As Sunday amusement, or recreation

build up the patronage of the park.
That would be good thing too. Every
city in the Western association has Sun

son why Minneapolis should not have it
too, if it be had in such place as at the
Minnehaha Driving park.

that he would probably veto the resolu-

consider the claim just one, or be-
cause he antagonizes it's settlement,
but for the reason that the funds re-

TO have bills passed IN all states on that
basis.
The m edical section met with the
regular delegates. Three papers were
read: 1.-The Medical Director; His Du-
ties and Difficulties" by DR.. G. 0.
Taylor, medical director of the North
western Masonic Aid association, of
Chicago. ILL.,; 1.-The Requirements of
Physicians as Examiners for Life In
surance Companies" by DR.. George L..
Brown, medical director of the Masonic
Life Association of Western New York;
Heart Disease in Insurance" by DR..
Horace Hill, medical director of the
Fidelity Mutual Life of Philadelphia.
The second paper provoked the most
animated discussion. DR.. Brown. Sec
onded by the majority of the delegates,
took the ground that medical examiners
should be first-class physicians, who
would make rigid examinations, aud do
all in their power to stand between their
companies and undesirable risks.
Some old men, with contempt for doc
tors, and some young radicals were op-
posed to stringent medical examina-
tions, holding that the mortality rate of
the companies that examine loosely is
no higher than that of the companies
that examine rigidly.
At O'Clock it was decided to hold an
evening meeting at o'clock. The ses-
sion opened with the reading of a paper
oil suicide by DR.. E. d. Wing, medical
director of the Covenant Mutual Benefit
association, of Galesburg. H., and
nearly the entire evening was devoted
to discussion of that subject. DIR.
Wing took the ground that suicide gen.
orally was perfectly rational action,
and in many cases the result of cool de-
liberation. and secuted the idea-that all
or even large proportion of the per-
sons who commit suicide are insane
He also stated that surprisingly large
proportion of the persons VINO have
committed suicide and who have car
ried life Insurance have secured that

with defeat or triumph, il they could
