BURGLARY INSURANCE.
Department VIII Not Admit Com
panies Writing That Business.

Acting upon the advice of Attorney
General Childs, Insurance Commits
sioner Dearth has declined to issue Ii
censes to burglary insurance compan-
les to do business in this state. The
ground upon which this action is based
is that there is no provision in the In
surance law Of this state which author
ICES this particular class of insurance,
The question was raised by an appli-
cation on the part of the New England
burglary Insurance company, Of Bos-
ton, which operated in this state last
year, for renewal of it's license. Com
missioner Dearth has replied to this
company and to several general cas-
burglary insurance, inquiring as to
what provision of the law they base
their application upon. 1t is expected
that these companies will push their
claims to admission on the ground
that burglary is included under the
general head Of casualties. but this the
commissioner will contest
Insurance Commissioner Dearth has
admitted the Magdeburg Fire Insurance
Company Of Germany to do business
in this state. Applications have also
been filed by the Citizens Fire Insur,
ance company of Pittsburg, Pa; the
Colonial Fire Insurance company OF
New York; the Union Life Insurance
company, Of Omaha, Neb.; and the

BUST OF SENATOR NELSON.
Gift to- the State From It's Scandi-
navfan Citizens.

In the governors reception room at
the capitol stands marble bust Of
United States Senator Knute Nelson,
presented to the state Of Minnesota by
tie Scandinavian citizens Of the state
and other friends of Senator Nelson.
The ceremony of presentation occurred
yesterday and the date was appro-
Iriately chosen. for it marked the an
niversary Of Senator Nelson's birth.
This bust Is one Of the last pieces
wrought by the chisel of the Scandina-
Wan sculptor, Fjeide, recently de-
ceased. 1t is of pure white italian
marble and is a remarkably good like
ness. 1t is mounted upon a pedestal,
the column of which is Of Minnesota
granite and the base and cap OF Ten
nessee marble.
The presentation speech was made by
Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen. Rev. DR.. Gjert-
sen, in his address, spoke in terms Of
highest laudation Of Senator Nelson
as a man, as an American citizen and
as a public officer, gracefully likening
the substructure Of his personality as
represented by his character and diSpo-
sition to the granite column, which
formed the base for this likeness in
marble. The speaker reviewed the long
and invariably successful political ca
1eer of Senator Nelson, during which
he had served his fellow citizens in
the Wisconsin and Minnesota state
legislatures. as county attorney of
Douglas county, as a member from this
state Of the Forty-eighth congress, as
governor of the state, and, at the pres
ent time, as United States senator
Gov. Clough accepted the present on
behalf Of the state in a brief speech, in
which he also paid a high tribute to
Senator Nelson's inherent nobility as
man and answering fidelity as
public officer.
