WASHINGTON. Nov. 6-while NIT Raynor was discussing the testimony Of Lieutenant, Commander Potts before the Schley court of Inquiry this afternoon he said that the commander had said that he was always ''scsred In battle
 Captain Icmly protested against this langnase and a sharp verbal encounter between tho two occurred when Captain I.emly said that Mir. Raynor was 'unre- liable"
 You" replied Mir Raynor "are not only unreliable. but you are offensive"
 During the passage at arms Captain I.cmly accused Mir Raynor of attempting to traduce the reputation of an officer. This. he said. he had no right to do.
 And you" replied MT. Raynor, "have no right to traducc the reputation of Adj miral schley."
 Admiral Dewey interfered to say that the court would consider all the testi- mony. that Lieut.. Potts had said that he was scared. but that Mir. Raynor had stretched the testimony little This was. however. no occasion for aeridity, captain Lemly then said he regretted having made the remark. and Mir. Ray nor continued his speech.

John consIdinc. whose trial for the murder of Chief of Police Meredith. has begun at Seattle. Is n person of evil re- pute. whose livelihood has always been obtained by lawless practices; ana tew ,ears will be shed 1T he Is convicted and hanged But that Is not to say that he win be. or even that he ought to be. The event of the trial will no doubt be just disposition of him. The crime was out of the ordinary. inasmuch as it was the direct result of personal feud Of some years standing between the men brought to a climax by the bitter polit- teal row that has been waged In Seattle for several years. Meredith was remov- cd from office for malfeasance by the Mayor on evidence obtained from Coun- ell committee holding stnr-chameber ses- slons: and the public does not know ana probably never will. just what tho s.'- mony was. Consldine was larcc'v ,nstru- mental In Meredths downfall a' ms with the secret methods of the inquisl- tIon, resulted In great popular sympathy for the Chief of Police. and divided public opinion as to his guilt. Mercdith was the aggressor In the affray with ConsIdIne. and was beaten almost insen- slble by Tom Consldine; then. when nc was rendered harmless, he was shot to death by John consldinc. SO that It may be very difficult for the gambler to sus- tain a plea Of self-defense. It is likely that the outcome of the trial will have an important bearing on the approaching city election in Seattle. SO that It's pro gress will be watched with great inter- est everywhere throughout the state.

Poor Chances of Four Terri.
 tories Being Admitted

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Nov. L-Arizo- na. New Mexico. Oklahoma and the In dian Territory win pruoably not be ad- mltted as states during the ffty-seventh session of Congress. v
 There are In Washington at this time several men representing each of these territories. who are hero for the express purpose Of endeavorlng to influence the next Congress to permit the territories mentioned to become states "
 Representatives Of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. at least. are not work ing together regarding the policy to be pursued at the coming session Of Con grcss Co get these territories admitted in- to the union of states. There are two factions. lt Is understood. one of which favors the consolidation of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one state. In opposition to the men who believe that such a course would he wise are others who believe that the territories should he separate. and. therefore admitted as two states. This win probably make trouble for Congress. as lt Is doubtful if both houses will concede that each territory Is entitled to statehood.
 Arizonn. sometimes considered by the Republicans as hardly having the neces- sary population to become state. may he left out In the cold at the coming ses- sion of Congress. This is also true Of New Mexico. The various reasons why these four territories are likely to fall during the hfty-seventh or ffty-eighth Congresses are these; First. Arizona is naturally Democratic: second. New Mex leo. except upon certain occasions. rolls up large Democratic majority at terri torial elections: third. Oklahoma has shifted It's politics frequently. and it is not now known what it might do at n Presidential election; fourth. the Indian Territory Is an unknown quantity so far as politics arc concerned; fifth. If bill Is introduced to consolidate Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. the chances are that the combination Of the two would make Democratic state In lsot

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1901-07-06
a Sound Finaneial Institution

Sometime since attention was called
to the fact that the National Life ana
Trust Co., of Des Moines. Ia, had loca-
ted it's Kansas department in Topeka
They have leased the second floor OF
the Central National bank building,
corner Seventh and Kansas avenue,
lust vacated by the Kansas Mutual
Life Insurance company. These rooms
have been re-arranged and furnished in
such a manner that they are without
doubt the most elegant office rooms
anywhere in Topeka.
But this is only in keeping with the
high character of the company, which
has made greater progress since It's or
ganization than any other old line life
Insurance company ever made during
the first two years of its existence
A state Journal reporter gained from
Mr. G. NJ. Sylvester, manager for the
Kansas department, the following facts
concerning the company and its re-
markable progress:
The national is a regular old line
life insurance company, operating I'M
der the strict Old Line Life Insurance
Laws Of Iowa, creating the full reserve
on each and every policy and deposit
ing same with the Auditor of State, as
required by Iowa's strict insurance
laws in sufficient interest bearing Sc
curities to make good all guarantees
1t now issues in It's life branch all
forms of life and limited payment life
nom participating policies, that are TAR
ahead Of anything else yet written.
And. in addition thereto. new form
of investment policy, known as their
1O-year endowment bond, a policy that
is the ideal of investment contracts,
both for profit and security, in fact
the best investment policy ever offered
to the insuring public.
The National is capitalized at 100000
and its officers and directors are num-
bered among the leading hnanciers OF
the West. Among its directors are
found the following well known names:
Leslie NJ. Shaw, Governor of Iowa; Geo.
L. Dobson, ex-Secretary of State;
George E Pearsa1l, cashier Citizens
National bank, Des Moines; D. G. Ed
mundson, president Security Loan and
Trust company; N. z. Coffin. of Dudley
& Coffin, attorneys. Des MOines; P. NJ
Starnes secretary; DR.. S. J. Patterson,
cashier Dunlap bank; Lewis Haas.
cashier Woodbine Savings bank; J. H
Owen. Cedar Rapids, Ia; A. s. Suits
Chicago, Ill, and E. z. Pinney. Cedar
Rapids. Ia
That the Nationals success has been
phenomenal viii be seen in the fact
that its premium income for it's second
year, which was $341, 237, was greater
than that ever received by any other
old line life Insurance company in the
world for its second year in business
This company is now in its third year
and Is doing business IN fifteen of the
best states and territories in the Union
and its officers say that its premium in
come for this year viii in all probabil
/ ity be close onto the three-Quarters Of
a million mark, which is truly phenom-
/ email and marks the national as one Of
the coming financial institutions Of
| America.
