INSURANCE RATES in MAINE.
A Prospect That They Will be Reduced.

On Saturday the special committee of
the New England Insurance committee
reported as follows:
The exchange having adopted the Den
ny rates, this committee recommends
the following plan for temporary re-
duction to stand until the country COM
mlttees take charge of their respective
fields and approve permanent rates for
the New England Exchange.
Each city and town in the State to be
temporarily classified under five divisions
based on fire protection, Known as A, B,
Z, ID, and E, as per lists herewith. The
reductions to apply as follows viz: A
class, Is per cent; B class, 10 per cent
concession being for the repeal of adverse
laws
We recommend also that an additional
reduction of 10 per cent be allowed on
tne original rate on property located in
cities and towns classified as A, B, G and
ID Excluding class E) when the so per
cent reinsurance clause is included in the
policy contract
The above reductions in rates do not
apply to risks in charge of the following
committees of the Exchange viz: Boot
and shoe factories cotton and wooden
mills, electric hazards, factory improve
ment, and pulp mills, sole leather tanner
les summer hotels, steamboats,; but only
to specifically rated risks under the juris-
diction of the country committees in
charge.
We also recommend q reduction of 1917
per cent in present rates on farm property
throughout the State No cancellation
of existing policies to take advantage of
these reductions shall be allowed, except
at short rates. In event of the adoption
of his report by the Exchange, we recon-
mend that the above plan take effect as
of date July 1st next
Classification of towns and cities-A.
Approved water supply, fire alarm and
paid fire department.. B. System water
works, fire alarm and good fire depart
ment. G. Good fire department., water
works and no fire alarm. ID. Steamers
or hydrants from mill pumps, no fire
alarm. E. No fire protection.
Under this classification Bangor and
Portland are the only places which will re-
ceive the Is per cent reduction.

gusta ,Waterville, Rockland, Bath, Bid

THE SQUIRREL NEST.
The Northwestern Farmers Have Serious
Fight Against It

1t has been the hope and prayer of all
farmers in the southern and western
parts of Whitman county for several years
past that some kind of contagious dis
ease would break out or could be inocu-
lated into the troublesome ground squir-
rel Several attempts have been to breed
some kind of a disease among them, but
all seem to have been unsuccessful.
In view of those numerous unsuccessful
attempts and the interest taken in the
matter. considerable comment was caused
few days ago by the report coming from
near Penawawa that there was some kind
of disease which was killing the pests in
large numbers, and the country might
hope to be free from their deyasting raw
ages.
A Spokesman Review correspondent
has made an extensive trip through the
infested district in order to investigate
the authenticity of the reports and the
extent to which the disease is proving
fatal There seems to be no doubt that
there is a contagion among them, which
is proving fatal to a few, though not to
the extent that has been represented.
The first effect on the animals is to make
them dumpy and stupid, then scabs or
sores appear on the body of the animal,
and they lose the use of their hind parts
and are barely able to get around. Very
few dead squirrels were found, but the
animals seem to be less numerous than
they were few weeks ago. This de-
crease in numbers is explained by some
observers by the; fact that the females
have gone in their holes to have their
young, but it has also been noticed in
districts where the young squirrels are
old enough to get out of the holes. AL
ready preparations are being made to
spread the disease. Inquiries come from
all over the country concerning the au-
thenticity of the reporets and the effect
it is having to decrease the numbers and
ravages of the pests.
But while the farmers are anxiously
watching the outcome of the infection
they are by no means idle in aiding ma
ture to destroy the enemy. Traps, guns,
bombs and all kinds of poisons are used
in aid of their destruction. One Colfax
firm has already sold over 500 ounces of
strychnine, and other poisons in proper
tion. Arsenic seems to be srringing into
favor as destroyer, but some who have
been experimenting with it report rather
unfavorably. Since the success Of the
western third of this country depends
almost entirely on the discovery of some
method which will promptly and effec-

(Kennebec journal. }

\heuuGUSC JOufudl.
There was hearing on habeas corpus
writ before Judge o. 6. Hall of the
Superior Court Tuesday, which was quite
peculiar and similar one might not
again come up for years.
1t seems that j. T. Pool was com
mitted to jail May 20, on capias issued
by Disclosure Commissioner Joseph Will
Hanson, Jr., before whom he had been
cited to disclose. During the disclosure
the disclosing debtor refused to answer
questions propounded to him by the cred
itor's attorney. Whereupon Pool was
committed to Jail as above stated, where
as, his counsel contended he ought in &C
cordance with the provisions of the
statutes to have been committed for con-
tempt. Judge Hall took this view OF the
case
Judge Hall discharged the prisoner.
Attorney 6. P. Fall appeared for Pool
and Attorney A. M. Goddard for tho
creditors.

New Law for Butchers.

There is little in the outward appearance
of New York butcher shop nowadays
to Indicate the nature of the business car
ried on within. This is in consequence of
the rigid enforcement by the police of a
law passed during the late session of the
legislature prohibiting, under a severe PEN
atty Of $1O0 to $500, the exposure in
front or within a store of fish. game and
poultry. Strictly construed this would
require all meats and provisions tn be
kept in the ice-boxes and only brought
out as called for. The police are under
instructions, however, tn permit a reason

chickens and turkeys, so large q feature

and Tenth avenue markets. is thing of
the past. thousand dollars worth of
stock on the outside was not an uncommon

NAMING THE GUNBOATs.
Secretary Herbert VIII Probably

Secretary Herbert VIII Probably
Christen Them for Cities.
The rather delicate task OF naming the
three new gunboats is one of the things
now confirming Secretary Herbert.
While the law stipulates the character
of the names Of the larger vessels, the
Secretary Is given discretionary power
when 1t comes to selecting those for vessels
OF the gunboat class.
1t Is now q question of some interest
with the naval people whether Mr.. Her
bert Will call these little boats the Plover,
Penguine or Albatross, OF confiue his
selection to the names of some Of the
smaller cities of the country
Perhaps q dozen persons who have sug-
gested names advocate returning to the
musical Indian names, like the Potomac,
Rappahannock or Swatara, but there is
little probability that any of the new
ships will be SO called. For many reasons
Mr.. Herbert believes in designating naval
ships after some of the cities of the cOun-
try, and it~is very probable that tive
Western towns and one Eastern city will
be honored by him in this respect.
Norfolk, 1t is suggested, should be given
one of the vessels, because of Its mer-
second most Important naval station in
the country. The State OF Virginia, fur
ther. has no new ship named alter one of
its cities, and is the only seaboard State
SO overlooked by the Department.
