Ca1ifornia's Needs of Carriage
Horses.

Any one who has the slightest acquaintance
with horse matters on this coast knows that
1t is most difficult to obtain either a good
carriage or saddle horse. 1t Is true that the
market for such animals is limited, and con-
sequently the inducement to produce them
but small, still, with all the facilities at hand
horses we ought to be able to keep what
trade there is at home. In the production of
horses for speed the records of the running
and trNting meetings all over the United
place but for the horse of utility. as distin-
guished from the race horse, the state is
without prestige at present. This, however
should not be the case much longer, for as
the influence of the show extends breeders
will get to work to take advantage of the OPP
portunities they afford.-Overland Monthly.

Companies Cannot Insure Policies to
Persons Against Theft.


Madison, Wis, April 23.-ESpecial.l-
Assistant Acknowledgement J. S. Erdall
has given an opinion which is of much
Importance to bankers and other ship
pers of money upon a question of insur-
ance referred to him by Insurance Com
missioner w. A. F'ricke. Inquiry came
to Mr.. F'ricke from prominent firm of
Milwaukee attorneys, Miller, Moves,
Miller " Vail, as to the legality of the
business of certain insurance companies
which have been issuing policies insuring
against theft money shipped in Wisconsin
per United States registered mail to
points within and without the state.
Their method of doing business is de-
scribed as follows: "a foreign insurance
company with headquarters in New
York issues an open policy to bank IN
Milwaukee fixing a certain rate per
$1,000. The bank notifies the insurance
company in New York of each shipment
and the shipment is thereby covered by
the policy. The premiums are collected
from time to time as agreed upon. The
only known decision on the question is
by the New York encouragement Janu-
airy 81 last, that under the New York law
the rights of each particular corporation
depend upon the charter of the company
and the authority granted by the COM
missioner of insurance"
The question submitted by Commits
sioner Fricke was whether or not a do
nestle or foreign insurance company
may carry on in this state the business
of insuring against loss of money by
theft. Mr.. Erdall decides that neither
foreign nor domestic insurance compa-
MES can lawfully carry on such business
in Wisconsin, and cites the statutes and
court decisions bearing on the question.
Insurance Commissioner Fricke has re-
fused n license to the Ocean Accident
and Guarantee company of London.
The company insures against bad debts
and Assistant Acknowledgement Erdall,
to whom the question was referred, de-
cides that there Is no law in Wisconsin
authorizing the transaction of such bust
ness, hence no license can be issued and
that without such license the business
would be unlawful and the representa-
tives of the company liable to arrest and

ing his life of labor and industry he
amassed considerable of this world S
goods, a large portion of his wealth
being invested in real estate in this city.

his fate with courage and fortitude.
