STRIKE WAVES IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Little Progress Being Made Except
in FairmOnt Region.

WHEELING, W. Va, August 4.-Except
in the Fairmont region where ]. W. Rae
and Joseph Wood appear to be making
some Roadway, the strike leaders are los
ing courage. The strike in the Kanawha
valley is failure thus far. while in the
New river region there has been but little
to lend encouragement. On the Norfolk
and Western there is nothing to indicate
that strike was ever ordered, aside from
a few disheartened agitators. who are met
coidly by the miners.
Miners day tomorrow is looked forward
10 with the hope that il may effect a
change. especially in the Wheeling district,
where so much was expected and so little
accomplished, all the miners but fifty be-
ing at work again. The disorder at Cor

Gus trouble may follow an attempt to ar
rest the foreigners who were mixed up In

To INVESTIGATE INSURANCE LOANS.
Claim Made That Kansas SecurItIes
Have Shrunk Materially

TOPEKA. Kan, August IA close in
yestigation Is now being made of the actual
value Of property in Kansas upon which
eastern Insurance companies have made
loans The investigation Is directed by
State Superintendent Of Insurance McNaiI,
who will make detailed statement of the
condition of these mortgages and hopes
thereby to cause a general Investigation
Of the insurance loan business all over the
country.
He believes the security for many OF
these loans referred to Is not worth one
fourth the amount Of the loan. This has
been brought about by the great shrink
age in real estate values since the loans
were made. and the point contended for by
the state superintendent Is that the In
surance companies win have to readJust
their financial affairs In such a manner
as 10 properly meet the changed condition
AID make good their showing OF assets
The superintendent has examined property
= In one county on which the insurance com
panies hold mortgages amounting to $3D.0U
and reports that the property Is not worth
more thon 5000

said he would defer his tiecision on that
point, and Mr.. Wilson gave notice that he

animation of the thirty-three examiners OF

for the Patent Bar Association. asked the
assistant Commissioner that all that por-
ton OF the reports of examiners which in
vove the expression of an opinion be
stricken from those reports and from the
charges, and that with that change there
be no examination of the examiners.
MI. wilson objected to this course. He

wnoiiy false, and he made strong appeal
Ior the privilege of cross-Questioning the
examiners who had submitted testimony in
the case.
VIM H. Doolittle, of counsel for the Pat
ent Bar Association. objected to having the
examiners of the patent Office cross-ex-
amlned He safd the records of the office
were submitted in evidence, and the re-
spondent could make any comment on those
records he saw fit, and they were all sub
mitted and could be replied to- The inves-
tigation IN progress was based on the rec
ords OF the patent office, and 1t was not
proposed to go into the question of the mo-
ttves that Influenced Wedderburn & Co in
the manner of conducting their business,
1t was not pertinent to go into such mat
tiers as they might relate to the examiners.

The solomonville Bulletin states that Philip Contzen, the Pima county surveyor who was to re-survey the line segregating the coal field strip from the reservation, after looking over the country through which the line runs, concluded that he had taken the con tract too low and returned with his outfit to Tucson. I, E. Solomon, one of the bondsmen of Surveyor Logan, has since succeeded in obtaining an ex- tension of time from December l5 to April Is, and it is probable that the survey will not be completed much be fore the latter date, although proposi tion has been made to certain parties on the strip that if they will assist MT Contzen in the work the survey will be made much earlier.
