Fraternal Insurance Men Behind
Call for Meeting in St. Paul
Saturday Evening.
They Do Not Favor Maximum Rate
Scheme-Insurance Commits
sioner Dearth Talks.

Fraternal insurance men who are be-
hind the call for a meeting in ST. Paul
next Saturday night, are opposed to any
bill Tor a maximum premium rate, but
there is q strong sentiment among lead
ing fraternal men that some such regula-
ton is necessary to insure permanent
prosperity to the societies. ....
Insurance Commissioner E. II. Dearth,
who is in correspondence with the COM
mittee of the national association of in
surance commissioners which is drawing
the BILL insists that he is not hostile to-
ward the fraternal societies, but is look
ing for their best interests in the future.
Mr. Dearth says: - *r''
II want to correct an erroneous idea
OF fraternal representatives,, who are firm
believers In the necessity of collecting a
sufficient rate from the members to in
sure a. reserve guaranteeing the perma-
nency3 and; reliability Of their organiza"
tions. I have no disposition whatever to
urge the, passage of any legislation which
would result in the destruction of their
companies, in other words, that would
make it impossible for them to do bust
ness in this state. But I am strongly in
favor of legislation that will place the
societies on a firm financial basis. Every
member should be equally anxious to Sc
cure such a result. 1t is the sentiment of
the leading fraternal congress and the
national associated fraternit1es. They
have been conducting an active cam
paign along these same lines for several
years, but it Is impossible to get the men,
bers to agree to a system that will increase
their assessments. All these leading
fraternal men appreciate that the plan
which permits the members to retain the
reserve in their pockets Is impractical
and is bound to result in the final dissolu-
ton of such societies. The fact that we
have had about 176 assessment insurance
societies, non fraternal, which have con-
Quoted their business on that plan, and
that less than ten of them are now in eX=
istence, should be sufficient evidence tc
| convince any fair minded insurance man
who has the interests Of the policy holders
honestly at heart, that a reserve must
be maintained.
"There is no doubt that reserve con-
siderably below that required by the regu-
| lar mortality tables in use by all the So
called old line or legal reserve companies
could safely be adopted by the fraternals
| They could safely, no doubt, adopt a table
| of premium payments Is to 90 per cent
| less than those required under the regular
American tables of mortality.
Il have" no desire or purpose to injure
any legitimate fraternal insurance society
On the other hand, desire to protect tt
| the fullest extent possible the interests o.
the vast army of our citizens who are
carrying insurance in these societies, none
of whom but assume that they are sure
Of permanent, reliablei protection for those
dependent upon them, In case OF thel

NEW STREET RY. BUILDING
Plans Being Drawn for the Henne-
pin Avenue Structure.

The street railway company is having
the plans drawn for its Hennepin avenue
power station, which is part of the gen
eral scheme of Improvement announced
a year ago.. 1t is expected that the com
pany will spend 100000 on the new plant
before it is completed. Work will begin
in the spring. T.
The new building will contain the gen
eral Offices Of the company, also. They
are now divided between the Third ave-
nue. N and the Thirty-1rst street stations.
Although the new structure is mainly a
power building, to be operated in connec-
ton with the tunnel system of feed wires
which will extend from the power dam up
under Hennepin avenue, the edifice will
be a credit to the southwest corner OF
such main avenues Of travel as Hennepin
avenue and Eleventh streets.

ATTENDANCE AT THE "U"
It Is Larger Than Ever at This Time OF
the Year-OutIook for

The attendance at the state university
this year Is larger than ever. The regis
tration of students yesterday, said Regis
trar Johnson, was 3,7O0, or considerably
more than at the same time last year.
Before the end of the current term the
total enrolment will be about $3.50. An
actual decrease is reported in the attend
ance at the medical and law lectures, yet
this dimunition has been offset by the
augmented popularity of the academic
department. The schedule of fees re-
Gently fixed by the board of regents will
diminish the student body next year. The
fee for nonresidents of the state will be
doubled and will be almost prohibitive.
This action has been taken so that per-
sons whose relatives pay taxes for the
support Of the university may secure
more satisfactory training than If the in
! stitution were overcrowded with I'll stu
dents from other states.

company to continue to deliver coal at

Exposition.
The Minnesota exhibits at the st. Louis
worlds fair may be transferred the fol-
lowing year to the Lewis and Clarke cen
tennial exposition which will be held at
Portland, Ore, May ! to Oct. 81, 1905
This suggestion was made yesterday tc
Governor Van SAINT at St. Paul by John
F. Knapp, special commissioner for the
Portland exposition. No additional APP
preparation from the state would be nee
essary, said Mr.. Knapp. The exhibits
would be transported free by the rail-
roads and would be cared for without
charge at Portland. The small addi-
tional expense to the owners of the ex-
hibits would not exceed S per cent Of the
cost of the display at st. Louis.

tant is the fact that all of the pictures
really illustrate the story with which
they are associated a virtue often lack
ing in the work of many artists. Per-
haps because children are more genuine
and would voice their disappointment
more promptly, children's books seem to
have escaped this fault of lack of agree
ment between text and Illustrations.
Among the other Illustrations are those
