Anti-Compact Laws

The necessity for concerted. action by fire
underwriters respecting mat tiers of COM
mon interest has been much discussed of
late, and many insist that the ''anti-com-
pact laws enacted In some states have
worked to the detriment of policy holders.
e. t. Beddall told the insurance commits
soners not long ago that as soon as I'M
derwrters attempted to prepare tariff
of rates based upon the collective expert
ence of all companies. laws prohibiting
such action were enacted and the compa-
r.cs were compelled to resort to ignoble
subterfuges to carry on their business.
Last week. says the New York Post,
Charles Janvier. the well known under
writer of New Orleans. declared that CO.
operation among insurance companies, IL
honest, sincere and thorough, must prove
OF the greatest benefit to the public. and
II. J. Smith Of Chicago, speaking along
the same line. said:
''The popular idea that unions or asso-
Citations among fire underwriters are es-
tabished solely to maintain pr.ces-just as
the beer or biscuit trusts are supposed to
dds. Of course. fallacious and preposter-
Gus. as there are thousand and one other
matters almost equal in Importance which
II uniformity Is not observed and proper
rules to govern the same are not promul-
gated and maintained, the whole system OF
Indemnity falls and grows rapidly into dis
favor and disUse. The rapid pace which
modern invention and discovery have as
sumed as regards power, heat and light
makes IT necessary that all these subjects
should be thoroughly investigated as TO
their fire hazards. The changes constant
ly taking place in architecture and build
ing material. storage, and use Of articles
Of modern invention, which are undoubted-
1y subject to spontaneous combustion and
thus endanger property Of great value
because of insidious fires; complicated ma
chimes for making new material the nature
of which Is understood by few: the great
strides made In the use of electricity dur
ing the last decade, as we'll as of. oils and
their products, to say nothing of the omni-
present and always to be feared MORAL
hazard and the changes in the laws Of the
various states relative to forms Of policies
etc.-all combine to make concerted action
on the part of fire underwriters who have
to do with all these matters and who are
held to full account and responsibility by
the capital which employs them, absolutely
necessary, even If the question of rates of
premium were entirely eliminated from
their consideration"

Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Financier
says:
owing to a heavy increase of ST. 400 In
the business of the New York clearing
house banks for the week ending OCTOBER
18TH reserve requirements rose four mil
lions and over. The gain of five millions In
cash, due to receipts of specie. more than
counterbalanced the extra requirement on
reserve account, so that In the race OF an
expansion of SIC. O23. go in loans, the surplus
cash in banks increased nearly N,OOO.OOO.
This, it is needless to say, Is very favor
able showing. The changes as usual, can
be traced to the operations of few banks,
one institution having made about half the
new loans and gained accordingly In depos-
it's But, aside from this. there seems to
have been general demand for accommo-
dation that has swelled the total of large
number of institutions. The banks report
a firmer demand for money from the in
terror, and their shipments last week ag-
gregated perhaps two millions. On the
other hand, the treasury disbursements
and receipts abroad resulted in gain in
cash about as reported IN the statement.
The increase in loans as reported was much
heavier than had been anticipated and
caused some surprise. 1t cannot be set
down to transactions with the treasury,
as its bond transaction Is about closed.
The general business conditions and the
speculative situation do not seem to war
rant the sudden activity in this particular,
and it is believed that the loans reflect an
accumulation of foreign credits In the form
of long sterling bills. rather than domestic
transactions. The position Of international
exchanges, owing to an advance in the rate
abroad, and the heavy demand for grains
will tend inevitable to the postponement of
gold imports and their conversion into
sterling loans. This does not mean that
the balance owing to the United States
abroad will be settled without gold imports,
but that the process Of borrowing by Eu-
rope will be repealed The record of Sep
TENDER exports, which were exceeded only
| once for the same month in the history Of
the country, and of imports which continue
| to show a diminution, indicate balance
at the end of the year over that of any
known. What the balances Of the last
year meant Is best read in the records of
| the gold imports. There Is nothing to in
dictate that the same process is not to be re-
peated but with about ninety millions of
| treasury money In the banks. 1t Is diff
cult to say how soon the effect Of 1898 ex-
ports will thus be shown. One thing Is
certain, there is nothing in the situation to
indicate an advance in rates, as the treas
| ury policy tends to the opposite result

UNIQUE JOHN COLLINS.
He Figures in Another Burglary Epi-
sode and Is wounded.
Special to the Indianapolis Journol

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, July 1.-THE
police were called to the residence of John
Collins about o'clock this morning having
been told that burglars had broken into the
house. When Sergeant Kendall, Detective
OHavar and others arrived they found Col
Inns suffering from wound in the left arm.
He claimed that burglars had broken into
the house, and when he grappled with one
of them in the library the man shot him,
escaping through a window.
There is much of mystery connected with
the affair. About six weeks ago Joseph
Craycroft, well-known colored man, was
shot by Collins in the latter's yard about
midnight. Collins claimed that Craycroft
was trying to rob him, and Craycroft says
that he was told TO come there at that hour
and carry some papers for Collins to the
Gait House in Louisville. Although he
stays with his parents here part of the time.
Collins has a. room at the Gait House. and
the public generally believed the story told
by Craycroft
Collins, for several years past. has had
the happy faculty of living in luxury but
no one knew how he secured his money A
wealthy relative or some person who seemed
TO be under obligations would die at op-
perfume times and, according to Collins
would leave him large sum of reoney.
The impression has been growing recently
that his supply was running short. From 4
young man without any means Of livelihood,
