In reading the lengthy decision Of
the eoart Chief Justice Withheld
paid his respects in rather strong
language to the Insurance. companies
want relief from existing laws they
can either decline risks or secure the
repeal and amendment Ct ex-
isting measures. Pie decision is one
of the most vital Importance, owing
to the present chaotic condition OF
the insurance business in the state.
Another decision in an insurance
case of considerable Importance was
that of the New York Life Insurance
Company rs. A. X. Nelson, admins
TRAITOR of the estate of r. Y. Withers.
from the circGit court of Kinds
county. Mr.. Withers died shortly
after 5000 policy had been issued
on his life. and a note had been ac-
cepted by the company's agent as
payment for the first premium. The
company claimed that the note could
not be construed as payment but
was merely promis9 to pay. The
supreme court held otherwise and
affirmed the lewer court.
The suggestion of error in the cele-
brated kierksy-Kelly ease WAS over
rulrd. In this case Il motion was
made to dismiss on the ground that
Mr.. KIersky, who was contesting for
the assessership had accepted the
deputy postmastership and was
| therefore prohibited from taking the
city assessorship of Vicksburg, even
if the case should be decided in his
favor. The supreme court overroled
the point, and In now overriding the
suggestion of error makes its former
decision more plain by stating that
the constitution refers to the holding
of Office and not TO the election to
office. In other words man may be
elected to as many offices as the peo-
pie see fit to give him, but he can
hold only enc.
An important damage suit decided
was that Of the Southern Railway
Company VS.. Jesse McClelland, from
the circuit court of Montgomery
county, wherein the appellee OBJ
tanned $4,000 verdict in the lower
court for the loss of both arms in an
accident caused by his stepping on a
large piece of Stag with which the
track was ballasted.
He was in the employ of tine COM
pany as a brakeman, and the conten-
ton was set up that the unusual size
of the piece of Stag constituted negli-
gence on the part of the company in
not properly protecting the lives OF
it's employees, and on this contention
he obtained the big verdict which i:
now reversed be the supreme court
on grounds which render it lmpossi-
bic to secure a similar decision in the
second trial.

COULD NOT RESIST.
Washington Woman Said to Have
Confessed to Larceny.


Detectives Peck and Miller this morning
arrested Mrs Catherine r. Ballinger and
escorted her to police headquarters to an
swer charge of grand larceny. Mrs. Bal
linger Is a clerk in the Department of
Agriculture and the wife of Webster Bal
linger, newspaper correspondent, and is
the mother Of babe but fifteen months old.
Her husband is ill of consumption and had
arranged to go west with his wife and
child Sunday morning The latter were to
accompany him as far as Chicago, where
his brother, Judge Ballinger, expected to
meet him and go with him to California.
The arrest of Mrs. Ballinger may interfere
with these plans.
Taking a French muslin dress, valued at
against Mrs Ballinger. She admitted her
when 1 saw the DRESS she said to the
detectives, the temptation was SO great
that l could not resist it,
The alleged theft of the dress was report
ed to the police yesterday afternoon, and
Mrs. Ballinger reported about the same time
that she had lost her pocket book while in
the store purchasing pair of gloves. De-
tectives Peck and Miller, who were assigned
on both cases, learned that Mrs. Ballinger
had been seen looking at the dresses in the
store. They also learned that she had been
in another store where she exhibited a gar
ment and said she had paid 500 for 1t.
The dress had been marked down from $125
she is reported to have said. Acting upon
this information the detectives procured a
search warrant this morning and went to
her house. No. 1910 18th street northwest.
In the meantime the officers learned of Mr..
Ballinger's illness. They feared search of
the house might affect him disastrously,
and they accordingly called on Mrs. Bal
linger ostensiibly to ask about her lost
pocket book. When they mentioned the
matter of the dress to her she promptly
admitted she had it, and turned it over to
headquarters, where she was interviewed
by Capt. Boardman. Attorney Joseph Shil-
lington, her counsel, also consulted her. and
she afterward taken to the house of

READY FOR EMERGENCIES.
The Gunboat Bancroft to Be Stationed
at Porto Rico.

The Navy Department has hit upon plan
by which it can be much better prepared
for the emergencies that are continually
arising on the Isthmus Of Panama, In Haiti
and in Venezuela. Orders have been issued
by the department directing that the gun
boat Bancroft, now at the Boston navy
yard, be placed in commission. When the
vessel Is ready, it is the purpose Of the de-
partment to assign her as station ship at
San Juan, Porto Rico. This move will en-
able the government to have warship
ready to sail 900 miles to the isthmus, 500
to Venezuela. or about 100 to Haiti. as oc-
casion may demand, and do away with the
long trips down from New York or Boston.
which have been necessary many times re-
in close proximity to the scene of trouble.
one warship will be needed In the emer-
gencies which are apt to arise at any time
in the South American republics, but never
theless it is felt that one vessel ION the
ground at all times is a long step toward
better preparedness.
The Bancroft is about the size of the
Scorpion, but of a different type. She was
fitted up some years ago as miniature
battle ship, and assigned to the Naval
Academy as a training ship for cadets, but
she failed to meet requirements on account
of her inadequate size. She carries main
battery of four four-inch rapid-firing guns.
and has secondary battery of eight three
Founders and one one-pounder rapid fire,
and Colt. Her complement is ten officers
and 113 men.

LIEUT.. OWEN DISAPPEARS.
A Search for Him Instituted by the
NAVY Department

The Navy Department has instituted a
search for Lieut.. Alfred c. Owen, an officer
attached to the battle ship Massachusetts,
who has been missing since August IS. and
whose movements since have been shrouded
In mystery. 1t is stated that the officer
left the ship while she was in the port of
New York about the middle of August, and
has not since reported for duty. About the
time mentioned the Massa chusetts left port
to take part in the maneuvers off the New
York coast. She returned to New York a
few days ago and is new there. 1t was
thought that Lieutenant Owen would join
his ship when she returned to port, but he
failed to do so. His absence has been twice
reported to the Navy Department by Capt
tain Manney, commanding the Massachu-
sets, and yesterday the matter was brought
to the attention of Secretary Moody.
Friends of Lieutenant owen who were
seen yesterday said they believed the young
officer had become mentally deranged from
overwork. They pointed to several in
stances of eccentric behavior and unusual
extravaganza on his part which occurred
during the summer supporting this belief.
Lieutenant owen was appointed to An
napolis from the District of Columbia. He
was born in Brazil, his father being a sur
geon in the navy. He entered the service
on September 6, 1893, and was made an en-
sign on July IL 1899. In June last he was
appointed d Junior lieutenant.

TO BUILD MILITARY ROAD.
AZ 0V110 HILL 1AHY 1VRUs
Will Penetrate the Moro Country and
Will Cost $4,000.

On the urgent recommendation Of Gem
eral Chaffee, commanding the military
forces in the Philippines. Secretary Root
today authorized an expenditure of $4,000
for immediate use in the construction of a
military road in the Island of Mindanao
from 1lligan, the chief port on the north
coast of the island, to point on the north
ern shore Of Lake Lanao. This lake is in
the heart Of the Moro country. and its
shores are thickly dotted with villages. the
aggregate Inhabitants Of which are esti-
mated at 350,OOO.
The Spaniards were never able to pene-
trate this populous stronghold of the Mo-
ros Roads in the American acceptation of
the term are practically unknown In the
Moro country, and the purpose of the
United States in making the proposed road
way from the sea is to assist in the general
policy of benevolent assimilation. Although
the purpose of this road is to encourage
friendly dealings with the natives. it will
undoubtedly be of immense value in any
military movements which may become
necessary to insure the submission of the
inhabitants to American sovereignty. The
action of the War Department was COM
municated to Gen. Chaffee at Manila today
by cable. r.,---t
