Alb LOVELY AGAIN
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE OF
INSURANCE GOVERNING BOARD
VISITS ST. PAUL.
DECENTRALIZATION IN THE AIR
BECAUSE OF ALLEGED RATE CUT
TING THROUGH REBATES OF
COMMISSIONS.
SESSION WITH TIE LOCAL BOARD.
Companies VIII BE Requested to In
sist That Their Agents Toe
the Mark.

1t is an open secret that there has
existed for some time a lack of har-
mCny among the local insurance agents
and frequent complaints have been
made to the governing board, Chicago,
that cutting of rates was being carried
on in st. Paul to an extent which thrr at
ened the decentralization of the busi-
ness. No specific charges were made,
but the complaints were in a general
way. The cutting was in the shape of
rebates, in which the agent or under
writer usually sacrificed a portion of
his commission, but in some instances,
it has been alleged, the insurance COM
panies themselves authorized the re-
batting.
So serious did this become that that
insurance giant, the st. Paul Fire and
Marine gave notice recently that it
would withdraw from the local board,
and this threatened a disruption. In
this emergency, the governing board of
the general union sent an investigating
committee of three, from Chicago, to
look the matter up and report.
These gentlemen, r. ]. Smith, F. S.
James, and H. NJ Magill, of Chicago,
arrived late Tuesday evening, register
ing at the Ryan, and yesterday they
held a prolonged session with the local
board. Mr.. Smith presided, and most
of the ST. Paul agents were present.
Various persons expressed their con-
victions that rebating had been en-
gagged in, but they were unable to
make any specific charges-it would be
an indelicate thing to do and a difficult
matter to prove unless the underwater
himself should confess his offense or
the insured give the snap away of the
bargain he had obtained in a policy.
All the agents present asserted that
they were not at fault in this matter;
that they could conscientiously plead
not guilty.
Gentlemen" remarked Mr.. Smith,
with a twinkle in his eye, this re-
minds me of a little incident down in
Arkansas. A man was being tried for
stealing a hog and the state had a
dead sure case against him, but to the
astonishment Of everybody, the jury
brought in a verdict Of not guilty. It
was afterwards learned that each of
the jurors had had piece Of the pork"
This sally created a laugh which did
much to bring about a friendlier feel
ing in the meeting, and after little
further discussion Secretary Perry, of
the ST. Paul Fire and Marine, an
nounced that he was satisfied with the
situation as presented to him and that
his company would remain in the
board. This statement was received
with marked evidence of appreciation
by all present.
The investigating committee left last
evening to return to Chicago They
will recommend that the governing
board take no action, as indeed there

DIR. STONE ON DIPHTHERIA.
HeaItl Commissioner Says 1t Is Not
Endemic.


Seven new cases of diphtheria were
renorted to the health office yesterday,
making a total of forty-one cases re-
ported thus far during the month.
Four of the new cases reported were
from one house at 284 Stinson street,
and Assistant City Physician Leav1tt
who was called to attend the patients,
requested DR.. Stone as health commits
sioner. to force the four children to go
TO the contagious ward at city hospital
DR. Stone informed the assistant city
physician that while he would use ali
the means in his power to have the
cases taken to the hospital, there was
no law by which the health department
could insist on the patients belng re-
moved to the hospital.
The records of the health department
show that IA of the diphtheria cases re-
Dorted this month are in the Eighth
ward. II are in the Sixth ward, 6 in the
Ninth ward, and in the First ward.
The records further show that in % of
the cases we'll water is used by the
families, and in 35 cases the houses are
not connected with a sewer. DR.. Stone
seen last evening by a reporter for the
Globe stated that there was no
epidemic, in his opinion, as the cases
were too scattered. The increased
number of cases. the doctor thought
was owing to the quarantine regula-
tions not being rigidly enforced. The
health commissioner admitted that the
of cases reported was consid-
erably in excess of other months, and
the records show that up to date this
month Al cases have been reported, as
against 81 for the month of September.
In October, 1896, 81 cases were reported,
and in October, 1895, Ga cases were re-
portad tn the health office.
DR.. R. S. Bole made application yes
terday to the health department for
diphtheria antitoxine to be used in
cases where the parents of the children
stricken with the disease were not in
position to pay for the treatment. DR..
Stone was obliged to refer the matter
to the city physician and the. board Of
control as the finances of the health
department fund did not allow of the
expenditure of any money for this

"euring the past few days we have had
numerous applications for general assistance
by those who have suffered from diphtheria
or scarlet fever in their homes The loath-
someness of the disease makes it necessary
for the health department to have their few
effects burned, which leaves them without
sufficient clothing, furniture bedding, and
we are called upon to supply them with the
needed articles
with our small stock of things on hand,
we are unable to supply the demands daily
made upon us for clothing and shoes for
both men, women and children; for bedsteads,
would urge our friends, who have anything
in the way of clothing or household effects
that they do not need to kindly place the
same at our disposal, that may at least
alleviate the wants of these poor creatures.
