MERRIAM'S FEES
Auditor of State Hopeful That When
Made Up, the Record Of Payments
Made for Insurance Examinations
Will Be Nearly Complete.
al to Ttmes-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. Feb. aO.-About fifty Of
the companies to which The circular let
ter was sent by the auditor of state
asking them to give statement to the
state executive council of the pay
nrents which have been made by them
on account of insurance examinations
have responded promptly to the request
and have sent the statements. Many
others are yet to hear from and 1t is
believed that the record will be made
up nearly complete. What these re-
ports will show is as yei a deep secret,
but 1t is certain they will show that
insurance companies have paid liberal
ly for examinations in recent years.
Just why the request did not call for
statements running back many years,
for purposes of comparison, is not en-
tirely clear, as there is pretty general
belief that the insurance examiners of
the state have for many years exacted
large sums from these companies for
examinations. This may be done later.
E.x- Auditor Frank Merriam is out of
the city and has been for some time.
II is rumored that he will leave Des
Moines and engage in the insurance
business in some other state. His
friend and confidante, Max Beehler. of
Manchester. who has been his insur-
ance examiner, has removed to Chi
cago, where he will engage In business,
and 1t is regarded as highly probable
that Mr.. Merriam will go there also.

TO RAISE MINERS PAY.
John p. Reese Says an Increase is
Probable.

DeS MOineS, Feb. 2O.--John +. Reese,
of Abba, commissioner for the Iowa
Coal Operators, who was in attendance
at the meeting of the operators in this
city yesterday. gave 1t as his opinion
that the miners would receive an adj
vance in the mining scale when they
met with the operators in March. The
scale adopted by the national scale
committee usually sets precedent for
the Iowa scale committee and their
raising the wages of the miners Will
probably influence the coal operators of
Iowa to do the same. 1t is expected
that they will receive an advance of
10 cents per ton in the price paid for
mining coal and the general advance
will be about 121s per cent.
Officers and members of the miners
local No. 55 are interesting the other
locals in the city in a movement to
entertain President Mitchell of the Ma
tional Mine Workers when he comes
to Des Moines during the second week
of March. 1t is very probable that
banquet and reception will be given
him. The auditorium will be secured
and the people of Des Moines will be
given an opportunity to hear President
here last March and there was so much
discussion as to the employment of
shot firers, President Mitchell came
to the city and spent two days here.
He delivered a speech at a public meet
ing In the Auditorium as did also John
p. Reese. at that time president of the
Iowa coal miners. The meeting then
was but poorly attended but it is
thought now with the public recogni-
ton which John Mitchell has every
where received such meeting this
year would be very largely attended.
Nearly all of the operators who We're
in the city yesterday complained of the
car shortage and of the handicap which
the railroads had placed upon them IN
their busiest season by failing to furn-
ish sufficient cars to remove their coal.
