Report From Toledo That She Will
Only Get the Life Insurance.

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 24.-The Ketcham
will case will never come to trial. The
noted controversy, with its beginning
in Chicago, viii be settled out of court.
While the terms of the agreement are
not given authoratively by the fam
lily, it can be said that the bulk of the
property will go to the Toledo heirs OF
the late John B. ketcham, of Chicago.

wife, and that goes to her without any
question. The remainder of the eS-
tate will aggregate 100000. This will
go to Mr.. Ketcham's mother, sister and
two brothers in Toledo. The property
is in excellent securities and some real
estate in Chicago and Toledo.
George H. Ketcham of this city, has
been in Chicago for the last week, and
the terms of the settlement have prac-
tically been dictated by him. 1t is IN
derstOOd here that the widow is to ad-
minister the estate promptly and the
division is to be mad at once.
While the family is very reticent, it is
thought that a trump card has been in
reserve in the nature of a medical ex-

JUST THE OPPOSITE.
Destruction of the Clarkson Rate
Bureau Made Rates Go Down.

J. w. Hardy, state agent of the North
American Fire Insurance company, dis
cuSsing the obstruction of the ClarkSOn
rate bureau said: This will increase
the fire insurance rates in Kansas. at
least so per cent, because the companies
will now be compelled to get out their
own rate books which means a heavy
expense"
Upon being asked if this would prove
true, Webb McNall, superintendent of
insurance said:
If the fire insurance companies doing
business in Kansas raise their rates so
per cent, they will be compelled to seek
new fields for business The people of
Kansas shall not be imposed upon in
this manner
The demise of the CIarksOn bureau
has already caused a reduction of %
per cent in fire insurance rates.
