total losses paid in the entire city is 54.4.
b their Investigations the companies
find that had they entirely discarded the
business of the congested mercantile dis
trict and the manufacturing plants their
revenue from the remaining portions or
the city would have paid all losses in
Cured, their expenses and left a margin
of profit. Their business would not have
been as large by about a couple of million
of dollars, but they would not now be fac
ing a deficit of $3.50, 600: and there would be
no reason for demanding an increase in
rates. In fact. there is no demand for
increase except in those districts and upon
the classes of properties the underwriting
of which has proven Improbable.
1.-The smaller mercantile risks located
outside the congested district, the dwell
ings, churches and other properties have
always contributed relatively higher rates
than the big establishments that have al
ways been heavy contributors to the loss
account. In all reasonableness, all classes

Cured in underwriting them. The recent
advance i'm rates upon the Improbable
classes in Indianapolis and other cities is
but an equalization of the premium tax
required TO maintain the stability of the
underwriters themselves.

district of INDIANAPOLIS and the accom-
pany statistics of relating fire losses paid
by the companies should prove to any
reasonable person the necessity OF two

Will NOT CHANGE
HORSE MARKET WILL REMAIN AT
UNION sTOCKYARDS.
Members Of the Warman, Black 4
Chamberlain Company Object
ed to New Proposition.

.It was a survival of the fttest,'" said
President Samuel Rauh, of the Union
stockyards, last night in discussing the
announcement that the Blair & Baker
Horse Company and Warman, Black &
Chamberlain had abandoned the proposed
change from; the Union yards to the Inter
state yards.
II am not entirely conversant with the
facts in the CASE continued Mr.. Rauh,
''but ii seems that the alleged contracts
made by the two horse firms to move to
the Interstate yards were not complete
that is, they did not have the signatures
of all the parties concerned in the deal,
and therefore / understand were not valid.
Both firms had a fve-year contract with
us. with an option for five years longer.
and as the first five years expire this fall
both firms nave signified their intention
of taking advantage of the option and
remaining at the Union yards another five
years.
I'VE will make improvements at the
yards for both firms by adding new stalls
and making the barns more commodious.
We will also construct a covered passage
way for the loading and unloading of
horses. We have offered the firms a. the
inducements necessary"
Mr.. Rauh was asked If the Union yards
will pay any damages that may be asked
by the Interstate people for the firms not
moving TO their yards. and he said the
Union yards would not pay any such dam
ages or claims.
A. S. Lockard. of the Interstate yards,
said last night he did not know just what
action the Interstate ompany would take
i'm the matter and would not know until
he consulted their attorney and ID. +.
Erwin, president of the company, who will
return probably this week. He said he
believed the Union yards used consider
able money to induce the two horse firms
TO remain there.
1t is said the change was not made be-
cause men interested In the Warman,
Black & Chamberlain Company refused to
give their consent to make the change
and the matter had TO be abandoned. h.
l.. Blair, of Blair & Baker. said last night
that the contract had not been signed to
remain at the Union yards, but there was
no question that both firms will remain at
their old stands.

TALK OF JOHN R. ALLEN.
a RumOr that He VIII Head an In
dependent City Ticket.

A petition is being circulated to have the
name of John r. Allen placed on the ticket
at the city election as an independent can
didate for mayor. Mr.. Allen is a Repub-
iican and two years ago was defeated for
the nomination for mayor by Charles A.
B~ookwalter. In order to have Mr.. Aliens
name put on the ticket the petition would
have TO be signed by $50 voters and filed
ten days prior to the election.
Mr.. Allen minated yesterday afternoon
that he would not consent to become a
candidate even in the event the petition
was filed. He will not allow himself To
become the tool of Democrats, his friends
say, and will only become a candidate i'm
the event that he was called upon by a
large number of Republican voters.
Another reason stated for Mr.. Allen moi
becoming a candidate is the fact that i'm
the event of Mr.. B~ookwalter's election he
would in all probability be made chairman
of the Board of Public Works. His ap-
pointment to this position has been dis
cussed by Republican leaders for some
time.

executor of the will of Emily Middles-
worth, for a construction of the will of
William Middlesworth. This opens a new
phase in the long line of litigation over the
Middlesworth estate that has been in the
probate department for the last year. The
will of William MiddleswOrth left all of
his property to his widow, Emily Middles-
worth, as a life estate, and stipulated that
upon her death ii should be equally divided
among his five children, the plaintiffs in
this suit. Mrs. Middlesworth was appointed
administrator of her husbands estate and
assumed control of all of his property.
Mrs. Middlesworth died last July and by
will left all of the property to her aunt,
Mrs. Caroline Barnes and her heirs. The
petition filed yesterday says that the will
of William Mi~ddlesworth expressly stated
that the property was to go TO his children
upon the death of Mrs. Middlesworth.

The Fire Insurance Rates.

The Merchants Association of this city
has asked T. NJ. Goodloe, manager of the
indianapolis fire inspection bureau, to ex-
plain how the percentage of deduction is
made in computing the credit of the city
in fire insurance. The members of the as
ISOLATION are working on a plan to bring
about a reduction in the fire insurance
rates by making it possible for the fire
inspection bureau to increase the credit
for fire protection. This credit under the
new fire insurance rating is 3S.5 per cent.
for the city, 70 per cent. being perfect.
Members of the association think il is
possible to increase the deduction and thus
bring about lower rates. The matter will
not be agitated until after the fall cleo
ton, as the association members desire 10
keep the matter out of politics. An effort
may be made TO have additional improve
ments made in the fire department to bring
about a reduction in the rates.
