This, too, will open wide the door to fraud

Even in the thickly settled parts OF the
United States attempts to beat the insur-

an ingenuity which requires a heavy outlay
on the part of the companies to battle. I'M
agination runs riot with the possibilities of
the disappointed Klondiker man. who has a
notion that he can get few thousands by
defrauding the insurance companies.
But there is reinsurance for ships that

be pretty steep. but any of the prudent

that, the inducements dishonesty can hold

EarIham Refused to BE Robbed.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. A.-The Earlham
College football team and the delegation
that accompanied them are very indignant
over the way they were treated yesterday
at Winchester. The game was not finished
and the Earlham players state that the rea-
son was that they were being robbed and
chose to save their reputation by FORGETTING
the game rather than engage in row.
The Earlham men also lain that Winches-
ter did not have the ur.l pire they promised
to have. John Wright umpired the game
and they claim that he refused to back up
his decisions said that they could go by
what he said or quit, and that once or twice
he got in the game himself to help the Win
chester team. The Winchester dispatch in
to-days Journal states that Earlham made
four points on questionable" play. This
play was simply the Princeton kick .
which the Winchester players knew nothing
about. The Winchester rooters, according
TO the Earlham delegation, acted very un-
becomingly. To climax the whole matter,
the Earlham team was left to pay their own
expenses.

ROWDYISM IN PLYMOUTH
CHURCH.

Directly after the remains Of Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher were borne from
Plymouth Church on Thursday after
noon there was wild and general rush
on the part of ,he visitors for the floral
decorations, which the trustees had ar
ragged should be sent to the hospitals.
Mr.. S. V. White, who had charge of
the funeral, was shocked at the dis
graceful scene, and, mounting a seat
amid the struggling throng, said
Brethren and sisters, this is dis
graceful. These flowers are private
property. They ore not to he looted.
Have respect for the dead. You must
not take them. They are for the sick,
for the friends of Mrs. Beecher. l be-
seech you to desist."
While be was speaking q young
woman was risking a fall from the or
gan loft in her efforts to reach bunch
of roses, and, addressing her, Mr..
White said /:
"Woman, you must not take these
flowers. Shame on you. They are for
the sick. Ifyou do not drop them l
will call in the police and have you ar
rested"
The policemen who were on duty on
the street had to be called in to clear
the church.
Mr.. White thus commented on the
matter: 81 think it is to the city's
shame that such thing should have
occurred. Such scene | never for
moment anticipated. There were men
and women who actually seemed to
have lost their senses, and even he
sacredness of church did not seem to
abate their disgusting struggle for loot.
Most Of the beautiful decorations were
destroyed
1t is said that even the flowers in
Mrs. Beecher's pew were not spared.
