MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Aug. 1S-The
principal address of the day before the con-
vention of the National Association of Life
Underwriters was that of Judge NJ. b. Koon.
of this city, on Insurance from the Stand
point of the Assured" He pointed out that
the real development of the life insurance
business had taken place within thirty
years. although the idea was not new one.
1t has become a business necessity, de-
manded by business credit. 1t formed the
simplest, safest and surest profession
against losses from which most men shrink.
Resolutions were adopted urging that the
referee to whom the twenty-five companies
in the compact all refer complaints as to
illegal rebates. should accept complaints
made by the local associations. as well as
by the agents themselves.
1t had been expected that Lieutenant
Hobson would be present at one of the
sessions. but his regrets were received by
President Bowles. The report of Treasurer
Eli ID. Weeks. of Litchfield, Conn.,, showed
receipts of $1.4S7, which just about covers
expenditures. David N. Holway of Boston,

Will Serve Long Time in Prison and
BE Dismissed from Army.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. - Capt. o. NJ.
Carter, the army engineer officer, who is al
legged to have defrauded the government out
of $3,O00.0O0 while in charge of river and
harbor improvements at Savannah, Ca. will
suffer in punishment more severely than any
officer ever tried by court-martial in this
country on similar charges. Carter, being
found guilty, was sentenced by the court
to dismissal from the army. Imprisonment
in some penitentiary for period of between
ten and twenty years, to forfeit all pay, and
besides all these penalties an additional and
rnsual one which provides that the one
hundredth article of war shall be applied to
his case, and. if it is carried out, the facts in
Carriers case will be published broadcast
through the country, and at his own home
the local papers will be required to print
advertisements calling attention to the dis
grace he has brought on himself Further
any officer speaking to or addressing Car
ter will be accused and tried for scandalous
conduct 1t is the intent Of this provision
to call attention in the most public fashion
to an officers disgrace and to specifically
emphasize the facts before his own people
at home. This penalty has seldom been i'm
posed in this country. The case is still be-
fore the secretary of war for action and
from him will be forwarded to the Presi-
dent.

AN OLD sCHOoLMAsTER's REUNION.
Many Pupils Gather at MOrristOwn to
Greet DIR. o. F. Fitch.
Special to the IndiananoIis LournaI

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MORRISTOWN, Ind, Aug 1S-To-day
the annual reunion of the pupils of DIR. O.
F. Fitch was held in VOLTS grove, at the
edge of town. 1t brings together hundreds
of pupils who have attended school under
Dr. Fitch during the fifty years that he has
been in the public school work. The doctor
was born at Penn Yam, N. Y, in 1918, and
began teaching at the age of nineteen in
Wyoming county, New York. He continued
there for five years, and in the meantime
completed his course in Wyoming Academy
He taught in Ohio in 1872 and the next year
came to Franklin county, Indiana, and has
since been a resident of this State. When
he arrived at Brookville he found he was
too late to secure the regular school, so he
started another in an old log schoolhouse
just south of town, on the banks of White
water canal. There the ground was the
floor and the benches so high that the pu-
pills feet were not in the least troubled by
the many snakes and lizards that fire.
quented the room. In 1876 he taught at
Fairfield. Then the next year he attended
the Ohio Medical College, graduating in the
class of 4S. In the fall of that year he re-
turned to Brookville and taught there until
1870, when he was seized with the gold
fever. He started to California, going to
Cuba, across the isthmus and sailing for
the California shore. Adverse winds drove
the vessel to the Sandwich islands, and they
remained there four days while they were
provisioning the ship preparatory to its re-
turn to America. At the time he was on
the island they were under the joint pro-
lection of England and America, and a
treaty was being drawn up for the annexa-
ton of the islands to this government. The
sudden death of the King put an end to
these plans.
.After three years spent in the mining
camps and without having been successful,
he returned to Brookville and again took up
his work there. In 1856 he taught at Meta
mora and the next year came to Norris
town where he has since resided He
taught here until 1885, with the exception of
a year each spent at Miiroy, Montezuma
and Carthage. In 1854 and 1855 he was
professor in Brookville College under Rev.
II. A. Goodwin. In 1886 his health began
falling and he compelled to quit teach
ing. For time he travelled over the coun-
try with his large telescope, giving talks on
astronomy. a science in which he is well
versed. The telescope is the largest travel
ing one in the country, being a reflector
fourteen feet long with ten-inch lens. To-
day his former pupils assembled from all
parts of the State to do him honor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Sir William T.
Marriott and Walter Morshead, of London,
representing English holders of Central Pa
cific Railroad stock. called on the Presi-
dent to-day and later had a conference

their visit to Washington was to learn what
were the purposes of the government with
respect to foreclosure proceedings, or action
under the authority granted by Congress
at its last session. to effect a settlement
with the Central Pacific and Western Pa
cific companies. They also asked permits
sion to be represented in any proceedings
contemplating a settlement with the Cen
trail Pacific. No definite answer could be
given them at this time as to what action
would be taken in the premises. The gov
eminent, however, it was said could not
undertake to settle any matters of differ
ence between the company and the share
holders. its principal concern being to Sc
cure the liquidation of it's own liens on the
road Messrs. Marriott and Morshead re-
turned to New York, where they will con-
fer with other shareholders.

MavRepreEent Russia at the Court of
the Cars Chief Enemy.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-M. De Stael the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain. ac-
cording to a special dispatch from st.
Petersburg. will shortly retire from London
and be succeeded by Count Cassini Russian
ambassador to the United States
\ WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-The report from
London that Count Cassni, Russian am
bassador here. will shortly be transferred
to London, excited much interest in diplo-
matte quarters as it was felt to have an
important bearing on the Chinese question,
which has recently reached an acute issue
between Russia and Great Britain. Count
Cassini is probably the best posted public
man of Russia concerning Chinese affairs,
as he was for five years Russian ambassa-
dor at Peking. prior to coming to Wash
ington. 1t was during his service at Pc
king that Russia executed the coup gaining
Port Arthur and part of the Liao-Tung
peninsula. The recent clash between Russia
and Great Britain grew out of some of the
British concessions made while Count Cas-
SIM was at Picking. His transfer to Lon
don, therefore, gives his government the adj
vantage of having the negotiations with
Great Britain conducted by a diplomat
thoroughly conversant with the condition of
Chinese affairs. Count Cassni is at present
at Narragansett Pier and the embassy here
closed for the summer.

ENOUGH BONDS ISSUED
TREASURY HAS SUFFICIENT MONEY
To MEET WAR EXPENDITURES.
Officials in Favor of Keeping the New
Revenue Law in FOrce-Captain
Carriers Severe Sentence.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It is the opin-
ion of the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment there will be no necessity for another
bond issue growing out of the war, and
that the present revenue law, with possibly
slight notifications, should be retained on
the statute books for an indefinite period
The following may be taken as the views
of the Treasury Department on these SUBJ
jeots;
1T may be confidently hoped that no fur
Their issues of bonds will be necessary in
connection with bringing the extraordi-
nary war expenditures to close. With the
treasury we'll supplied for the early future,
and with the power conferred on the secre-
tary to make temporary loans to the ex-
tent Of $100,000000. if required, any further
resort to bond issues seems a most remote
probability. This view is reinforced by the
fact that with the operation of the new ex-
else and stamp taxes, the revenues of the
government will largely exceed disburse-
ment, based on ordinary peace conditions.
This Increase in revenue ought to, and will,
provide for an increase in war and navy
expenditure, which no doubt will be wit
messed after active military operations have
terminated. That enlarged expenditures for
the navy and army over the past will be

ton of Congress the government revenue

basis"
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, telegraphing his paper last
night, said: Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Vanderlip, who has heard some
suggestions from different directions about
the possibility of limiting the issue of bonds
to an amount below $500, 100000, the full Issue
authorized, the idea of the Suggesters be-
Ing that the termination of the war removes
the necessity for more money than will be
provided ny the customs and enlarged in
ternal receipts, smiled when he was asked
about the possibility of adopting the sug-
gestion. 1t is a very pretty suggestion Mr.
Vanderlip said, but 1 do not believe it will
be adopted. The treasury has already ac-
cepted the loan and agreed to furnish the
bonds provided for the subscribers. 1t is
true that there will be less pressing need
for money, as the closing of the will
remove the necessity for some large ex-
penses already incurred which must be met
and some will continue for a while after
hostilities are interrupted. The reports of
the treasury putting the expenditures on ac-
count of the war at about 600 since
the hostllties began are not considered as
covering all the expenses on account of the
war, but simply those items in the treasury
statements that are charged up directly to
the War and Navy Departments.
