telegraph the response is so prompt that
we have no large fires, as in other cities,
and, third. the general absence of tall build
lngs renders fires less diSa strouS when they
do occur. For these reasons it is unjust,
II not fmpOlitic, for the companies to raise
their rates here, even though 1T may be
necessary in cities which do not possess
these advantages.
1t is simply because the risks are much
less here that, as recently stated by the
superintendent of insurance. there are more
local companies in Washington than in any
other city of the same population. and none
of them has been bankrupted by fire loses.
but on the contrary they have all pros
pered.
For the outside companies to increase
their rates here will prove beneficial to the
mutual companies, as it will largely increase
their business. Prior to the formation of the
underwriters board some twelve years ago
l had all my property insured in stock COM
panies. generally with three years poll
cies: but when I went to have them re-
newed found they had doubled their rates
whereupon l transferred all my insurance
to our local mutual companies, and / i'm
agine others will do the some now, if the
rates are raised here as proposed.
To raise our rates because the companies
have met with unusual losses elsewhere
would simply be "robbng Peter to pay

DEATH OF MISS BLAND
Daughter Of Late Representative
Richard p. Bland of Missouri.

Miss Fannie Bland, eldest daughter of the
late Representative Richard p. Bland of
Missouri, died of tuberculosis yesterday at
Summeryille, S. G. Several years ago Miss
Bland had hemorrhage of the lungs, but
soon recovered from its effects, and it was
supposed by her friends there was no i'm
mediate danger Of consumption. In the
srrlng OF 1900 she came to Washington and
obtained a position in the Congressional
Library. where she continued to work till
the latter part of last December when
she had another hemorrhage and her ply
sician ordered her to go south.
She went first to Aiken, s. c.. but her
heart being weak, she found that place to
be at too high an altitude and went to
Summerville. where she died yesterday.
Her mother was with her. She has
brother, Ewing Bland. who is messenger
In the House of Representatives, and he
and her aunt, Mrs. John L. Thomas, left
last night on the Southern railway for
Summerville.
The remains will be taken to Lebanon.
Mo. and laid beside her distinguished
father. Miss Bland was educated at The
Academy Of the Holy Cross in this city.
She was a most lovable girl. and has a
host of friends here who will be grieved
to hear of her sudden death.
