Insurance rates in New York have not
risen because of recent exposures OF In
cendiaryism. The insurance experts
had long known that incendlarism was
as common in New York. as elsewhere.
In fact 20 per cent of all fires in the
United States are set down as incen-
diary. These figures are not quite as
bad as they sound, for under the head
OF "incendiary" in the statistics OF the
insurance companies are included not
only fires started by owners Of property
for the sake of obtaining the insurance,
and fires started by the enemies OF prop
erty owners. but unexplained fires OF
a strongly suspicious nature.

JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

A quaint reminder of bygone times
n Institutions Is found In n bill which
has just passed from the committee on
claims to the house calendar for the re-
lief of John f. McRae. 1t proposes to
make good to Mr.. McRae some losses he
sustained In 1853, when he was United
State deputy marshal In attendance at
court In Savannah. During that year
che ship Wanderer landed a cargo Of
African negroes on the Georgia coast,
and an attempt was made to smuggle
them into the interior and sell them as
slaves. McRae seized t~hirty-six of them
and kept them at his own expense for
fourteen days, while their nal DISPOSE
zion was under advisement. Probably
owing TO the confusion caused by the
war his claim vas never presented TO
the treasury for payment, but 1t arises
% like a ghost from the grave of the
dead past to recall to the memory of the
American people the fact that the Afrl-
can lave trad was once a form of
smuggling on our shores.
