INSURANCE ON CHILDREN.
Two Died and the Industrial Com
pany Ignored N Letter Sent 1t.

The superintendent of the Prudential
and of the Metropolitan companies yester-
day called ON Insurance Clerk Duke of
the Auditors office and assured him that
so far as they had secured knowledge of
the graveyard practices of their agents
they were doing all they could to rectify
the wrong done those who We're misled. The
former company claims that it has already
found thirty cases where the insurance
was taken without the knowledge Of the
assured and has sent for the assured per-
son and had the application made out le-
gally. These two companies say they have
5000 policies running in Indiana, and
the number of a policy recently issued in
this city is over seven million.
A complaint comes in from Decatur, Ind,
where a local agent, is reported to, have
written two hundred policies, mostly on
children Two of the children insured by
the Prudential died about two weeks ago.
and the company was at once notified. But
the letters were not even answered. The
local agent then ceased to collect the week
ly dues, believing the company a fraud.
Insurance Clerk Duke says. the. company
has s9,00000 assets, and the fraud, he says,
is in the policies.

THE MATE SHOT THE PASSENGER.
CircumstancesL Leading to Suit That
Has Reached Supreme Court


Has Reached Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court yesterday heard an
argument in the case of the Memphis and
Cincinnati Packet Company VS.. Pike, ad-
ministratrix. in an appeal from Dearborn
county, where the appellee had secured a
verdict of $1,000. The ground of the action
was that the defendant company was re-
sponsible for the death of Pike, who was
passenger, owing to the mutinous and des-
perate character of it's employees. The crew
of one of the company's steamers mutinied
and Pike happened to overhear the plot
against the second mate, Daugherty. Daugh-
erty armed himself and went after trouble
among the negroes. Finding them advanc-
ing upon him with pistols and knives, he
fired, but missed the ringleader and hit the
passenger who had followed to witness the
excitement. The company claims that he
contributed to his own death by going into
the presence of danger needlessly. There
are some questions of pleading which COM
plcate decision on the pure equity of the
case. The appellee lives in Missouri and the
suit was brought in Indiana the doctrine
that either State adjacent to river bound
airy has a jurisdiction between the low
water marks of the river

The Sugar Refiners and the
Government Bounty
CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTION
Comptroller Bowler Wants to Know,
You Know
A United States Consul In England Offers
Some Hints on the Introduction
of Indian Corn

An unexpected obstacle in the way OF
the claimants of sugar bounties has
turned up in the person of Comptroller
of the Treasury Bowler. That official has
declared that he is in doubt about the
constitutionality of the Law, and that he
would like to hear argument upon the
question before proceeding to act upon
the claims, and Wednesdaywas set for hear
ing argument on the claim Of one COM
pany. This action Of the comptroller has
caused much surprise and criticism. 1t
is only fair to say, however, that the ex-
tent Of the power of the comptroller does
not seem to have been definitely deter
mined AS yet, but that his powers in re-
gard to passing on claims such as those
now before him are very extensive is
recognized by those familiar with admin
istrative practice. Whether any test of
his power in the premises will be made
now will probably depend upon the result
of his decision in the sugar bounty cases:
If he should decide in favor of the consti-
tutionality of the law his action will
probably be permitted to pass without re-
view.
The United States consul at Bradford,
England, says: "Corn on the ear is some
thing unknown here. The people have
kept displayed during the last year on
the bulletin board OF the consulate three
or four fine large ears of United States
corn, grown in Ohio. which have been a
source Of wonder and curiosity to English
callers. To several persons l furnished
few grains which they planted in their
kitchen gardens. but the summer being SO
short anj cool the plants grew only to
some fifteen to eighteen inches in height
and did not mature. Other seed planted
in hot houses grew to maturity and the
stalks were much admired. Shelleu corn
is sold here in large quantities by grain
ana feed dealers for feeding live stock
and poultry. This corn comes from India
and the United States. That from the
United States is large grain and is
crushed and fed to cattle and horses, per-
haps mixed with other foods. The cur
rent price Is from sixty-three to seventy
cents per bushel. That from India,
which is small gram, about half the
and commands, at the present time, from
sxty-six to seventy-five cents per bushel.
There is no reason at all why the market
for American corn should not be greatly
extended here as food for man ana
beast. 1t could be dune by advertising the
benefits to be derived from it and getting
it before the people in the proper eorm."

big" orchards arc being discussed by
many of our exchanges; the conclusions
reached are that the "blg" orchards don't
pay. There is no doubt about the small
orchards paying, a greater profit per acre
than the larger ones. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that "big" orchards have always
failed.
