Recon- mends a Fine.

In the case of Policeman William Quinlan
charged by Sergeant j. A. Williams with
failing to properly patrol his beat and turn
in through the patrol box, Major Sylvester
the chief of police. has recommended to
the Commissioners that the officer be fined
50. Major Sylvester says he is willing to
give the officer the benefit of the doubt
when he states that he was under the i'm
preston that he had turned in. but believes
that a fine of s. will more forcibiy impress
upon the mans mind the necessity of abid-
ing by the regulations.
The sergeant is reminded by the major
also that the regulations provide he shall
blow police call when endeavoring to as
certain the whereabouts Of the men on their

EARLY ADJUSTMENT PROBABLE.
DfmcuIties of lnsuarance People Re-
ferred to Middle Department.

GU ~ FNkAu0u e DeVuF tAASAAes
The difficulties of the fire insurance men
are to be considered and, If possible, ad-
justed the early part of next month. Then
what 1s known as the Washington commit
tee Of the middle department, the body
which has Jurisdiction in insurance mat
ters in this section. twill come here and
confer with the Are insurance underwriters
and attempt to sdeviSe solution OF the
troubles which Will b satisfactory to all
concerned. This sts the result of visit to
Philadelphia yesterday of the committee
appointed by tho Association of Fire In
derwriters of the District at the meeting
tuesday to bring to the attention OF the
middle department the report adopted by
the association providing for the reduction
In rates on furniture and houses.
The local committee yesterday appeared
before what Is known as the Washington
committee OF the middle department, and
after hearing the case the latter committee
decided to visit this city the 10th of next
month and go over the entire subject with
The chairman of this committee Is Mr..
Paul Turner of Philadelphia
This action leaves the entire question OF
change OF rates. as well as Withdrawals
from the local association, in allegiance.
As the resolution Of the Association Of Fire
Underwriters reducing the rates was not
acted upon W the middle department the
proposed charge does not become operative,
and consequently the contemplated with
drawal Of the local companies from the as
ISOLATION. based as 1t was upon the con-
tingency OF the rates being cut down, will
not take place at present. In fact. the sit
uatfon will remain unchanged until after
the action Of the visiting insurance men is
known.
1t is the belief that with the aid of the
outsiders such an understanding will be
reached that it will be possible to form-here
a strong association which will be in the
nature Of compact and probably a COM
rany organization. There seems meanwhile
to be more of a disposition among the in
surance men to be conciliatory.
