PLANS A NATIONAL ASSN
Secretary TenvOOrde of the Mime
sofa Retailers Association Is
Pushing the Idea. =.

The Commercial Bulletin says that
Secretary j. H. Tenvoorde of the Mime
sofa Retail Merchants Mutual Fire In
surance company, plans the organization
OF national association of Merchants
Mutual Insurance companies. Efforts
to arrange a convention of representa-
tives Of the mutual fire insurance COM
panies in the middle west and Mississippi
valley states will probably prove success
full and Dubuque, Iowa, may be agreed
upon as the convention city, Secretary
TenyOorde says:
At present there is no understanding as 20
reinsurance among the merchant companies
and each company has adopted its own plan
Of writing insurance and works independently
of all others. ...-
A national organization to be used as sort
OF clearing house in writing reinsurance in
other companies and for the purpose Of coll
lating statistics and other valuable informa-
ton concerning the work Of the mutual COM
panies would be Of immense benefit. We
would understand from this statistical in
formation just where we stood all the time
and there could be uniformity in rates and
in writing insurance, in adjusting losses and
in other respects that would be Of great ad-
vantage and that would result in important
economies. ...
None of the state companies would lose its
identity and each would conduct the business
practically as at present A national organ
iZation could be maintained at comparatively
small expense and it would be Instruments
in securing mutual companies in states il
which there are at present none. 1t would
through unfying the mutual interests be
able to meet the arguments OF old line COM
panies to better advantage and could refute
some of the naisstatements concerning -nutua
companies that are now circulated by repre-
sentatives and agents OF the old line com.
panies All these things taken into consid-
Grafton L regard it as essential that some
sort OF national organization be perfected.

MEDICAL TREATMENT FREt
The British Medical Institute Offers Three Months Services Free to All InvaIids Who Call at Its Office Before Juno 24th.

A staff of eminent physicians and surgeons from the British Medical h. stitute have, at the urgent solicitation of a large number of patients under their care in this country, established a permanent branch of the Institute in this city at
 Corner 22nd St. and 3rd Ave.
 These eminent gentlemen have de- cided to give their services entirely free for three months (medicines ex- cepted) to all invalids who call upon them for treatment between now and June 24th.
 These services consist not only of consultation, examination and advice, but also of all minor surgical opera tions.
 The object in pursuing this course is to become rapidly and personally acquainted with the sick and afflicted, and under no conditions will any charge whatever be made for any serv- ices rendered for three months to all who call before June 24th.
 The doctors treat all forms of dis ease and deformities, and guarantee to cure in every case they undertake.
 Male and female weakness, catarrh and catarrhal deafness, also varico- cele, rupture, goitre, cancer and all diseases of the rectum are positively cured by their new treatment.

WILL OF DE CZEKE
 DECLARED INVALID
OLD HUNGARIAN MUSICIAN LEFT ALL HIS PROPERTY TO YOUNG WOMAN IN LoU!SvILLE-PRoP ERTY CONSISTS OF VIoLINs.

Montgomery, June 9.--(Special )-Pro- bate Judge Gaston today decided the will of the old Hungarian musician Alexander DeCzeke invalid. The will was made in Kentucky and left all his property to Miss Rosa Hardin of Louis vile. It was unwitnessed and the point was raised that De Czeke, being a citi- zen of Alabama could not make a valid will without a witness In another state. The evidence as to whether his citizen ship had been removed to Kentucky was conflicting but the judge decided that 1t had not. The only property involved is three violins, one of which is very rare and worth several thousand dollars. An appeal will probably be taken to the Supreme Court.
