M'NALL GETS POINTERS
Regarding His Inquiry About Money
Paid by Insurance Companies to
Influence Legislation.
Insurance Commissioner McNan @

Insurance Commissioner McNan to-
day received a letter containing valua-
bic information concerning the methods
of insurance companies in expend1ng
money for the influence of legislation. It
is from a prominent eastern insurance
actuary, who, of course, does not want
to figure as the author of the informa-
ton.
The letter refers to the recent decla-
ration of Commissioner McNal that he
would require insurance companies in
their next annual report to state what
amount had been expended during the
year for the influence of legislation, and
is as follows:
Your request of the life insurance
companies to make a statement of how
much the managers of each contributed
to campaign funds in Kansas will avail
you nothing. The companies do not do
business that way. Each company
makes its annual contribution for all
purposes to the Chamber of Life In
surance in New York, Charlton T. Lew

matters for them. The companies elect
the officers of the chamber, and each IN
turn furnishes a president. Find VINO

Defense Appropriation.

Washington. Feb. IA discussion
upon coast defenses was the interesting
feature of the senate yesterday. Many
senators took the ground that the ap-
preparations should be for the full

partment, instead of some millions less
Senators Perkins and Hale said that it
was the policy of the appropriation
committee to make an annual expendi-
ture of S10,000,0 900 for Notifications. Sen
ators Stewart, Hawley, Chandler and
Lodge spoke in favor of increases. Sen
atOr Teller also advocated liberal ex-
penditures, and during his remarks,
made significant illusions to Cuba and
Hawaii.
In the early part of the day there
was a discussion of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad sale, but no action was
taken.

BLUE LAWS
Knocked Out by the Toledo Board of
Alderman.

Toledo, O., Feb. 1.-THE board of al
dermen, late last night, by a vote of 13
to 2, wiped the municipal blue laws off
the book They, however, passed an
ather ordinance compelling saloons to
close at midnight and keep closed until
s o'clock the next morning.
This includes all days in the week ex-
cept Sunday, and this the aldermen
hold should come under the state law.
The salOonkeepers are not seriously OPP
posed to the midnight closing. Many of
them say they will open for business
as usual and close front doors next
Sunday. 1t is expected the mayor will
sign the repeating ordinance, as it pass
ed both boards of the council by a vote
of 43 to ?. All business, save saloons,

NO EDUCATION FOR 10000.
U. S. Cannot Provide for Education of
Whites and Negroes in Indian
Territory.

Washington. D. G., Feb 1.-THE score
tary of war sent to congress statement
in regard to the education of white and
negro children in the Indian Territory
The secretary says all the lands in the
territory belong to the Indians of the five
tribes, and the United States cannot pro-
vide for the education of white and negro
children except by direct appropriation
from the public treasury. No such APP
preparation has been made. The secre-
tary says:
1T appears, therefore, that there are
more than 1000 children of both races of
school age for whose education there is
no provision whatever. Without means of
education, these children may become an
army of ignorant. idle, homeless tramps
and a menace to good order"

the women prefer to wear their street
hats to the opera. inasmuch as they
have to remove them upon entering the
theater. The ordinance is deemed ar
bitrary, because it includes the smallest
bonnet as well as the largest feathered
hat.
