In other words the companies paid into
Vermont $l+2.39 tor every 500 re
ccvcd. Neither Vermont nor New Eng
land is unique in the matter OF fire re-
cord, but every portion of the country
has contributed to these disastrous re-
suits. \ problem is presented both to
the underwater and his patron. How
can we furnish sound indemnity, Where
can we get sound indemnity? 1t is the
| opinion OF the sound underwater that
rates of insurance must he advanced
to such a figure that the years business
will Yield a profit, SO as to preserve the
integrity OF their surplus. 1t is the opln-
ion OF the bogus mutual, and wildcat
stock promoter that it only demands the
| formation of a few more worthless COM
panies. There are numerous instances
now where the assured cannot get all the
legitimate insurance he requires, and is
specializing on cheap insurance.
| The Northwestern Union, The South
eastern Tariff Association and the New
England Exchange have been forced, by
the stern logic of events, to advance rates
in their respective territories. Various
cities, through their local organizations
have advanced rates materially: Boston,
10 per cent and % per cent; Cincinnati,
20 per cent and % per cent Chicago 10
per cent and 20 per cent; st. Louis, %
per cent; Kansas City 172l percent
In briet an advance is necessary all
along the line to avert bankruptcy. Al
ter mature delibcration by all the com
panics doing business in Vermont, it has
seemed Just to themselves and fair to
their patrons to require an advance of 10
per cent upon all risks under protection
of fire department and 25 per cent on
risks not under fire department protcc-
ton, with certain exceptions pending a
reformation in rates. This will seem n
great hardship to many, but we submit
that the price Of sound indemnity is rcgu-
lated i'll the same manner as the price of
any commodity the memorable relation
of profit and loss.

Prior to the banquet an adjournment

An Interview With the Bridgeport

Thieves Captured Here.
A reporter was allowed to interview
Dickerson and Roberts, the sneak thieves
arrested here by Detective Cronan, at
Bridgeport yesterday. Dickerson is a
rather tall, good looking chap and wears
his hair la pompadour. He was neatly
dressed and patent leather shoes encased
his feet. He proved to be cool of de-
meanor and taciturn of speech.
do you think you can put up a
pretty good defence?" the writer asked.
Dickerson eyed the reporter suspi-

"I'll see about that when the proper
time comes"

Springfield. In talking of his case
Roberts said that he had not partici-

in the trunk in the room occupied by
Dickerson and himself in Waterbury.

PREPARING FOR THE CONSIDERATION
The Bodies of Bishops Mcfarland and
Galberry Placed In Crypts.

The Bodies of Bishops Mcfarland and
Galberry Placed in Crypts.
An unusually fine musical programme
has been arranged for the conservation
services at st Joseph's cathedral in
Hartford on next Sunday. A quartette
from New York, consisting of Mrs Anna
Burch, soprano; Mrs Littel, contralto;
Mr. Littel, tenor, and Max Treuman,
bass, will do the solo work. A picked
chorus of 100 voices from the different
church choirs of the city will render
Haydn's second mass, which is one of
the grandest musical productions ever
composed. Bruno Oscar Klein of New
York wilt preside at the organ and Prof
John Hughes, the organist at the cathe-
orchestra of New York will also assist in
the musical exercises.
The bodies of Bishops Mcfarland and
Galberry were placed in adjoining
| crypts at st Joseph's cathedral yester-
day, with very simple ceremonies.
Bishop Galberry's body was taken from
an older crypt beneath the affairs.
That of Bishop Mcfarland had been
buried in front of the convent. 1t is
customary in the Roman Catholic
church to bury bishops in their cathe-
drals. This diocese had four bishops
before the present one. Bishops Tyler
and Riley died before the cathedral was
begun. The latter was lost at sea and
his body was not recovered.
Two or three weeks ago TIE clergy
men having charge of the ceremonies
ascertained from the railroad commits
sioners' office that permission to run
special trains would be nece ssary, and
that the required permission could only
be granted upon positive proof that the
trains were public necessity.
The railroad commissioners have haG
the matter under consideration with the
result that Waterbury people will be
provided with special trains over the
New York & New England road. Tht
trains will leave this city at $50 anC
$40 a. M, arriving in Hartford at Il
O'Clock. Plenty of seats will be provided
and there will be a clear track. Thu
regular fare eighty-one cents each way
will be charged,as the law forbids excur
sion rates on Sunday.

In charge of the ceremonies was Chief
