FIRST CONTRACT HOLDS.
Kansas Supreme Court Renders n Decision
which viii Affect Fraterual Socie-
ties That Change Rates.

Topeka, Kan, July 15.-The supreme
court has just rendered decision OF
great importance to secret fraternal
societies. 1t was in the case Of Pow
ers against the Fraternal Aid society.
In 1t the court held that fraternal
company must stand by the original
contract made with the person insured.
When fraternal companies were first
organized, they were put upon fiat
rate basis. This was found to be i'm
practicable later on, and the most OF
them changed to the graduated sys-
TEN. This meant raise Of rates. Pow
ers held contract under the fiat rate
system in the Fraternal Aid company,
and an effort was made to switch him
to the graduated system. He refused
to change and brought suit to test the
matter. The court held that the Fra
ternal Aid must comply with its orig
inal contract and carry his insurance
at the flat rate. This will have a bear
ing on several fraternal societies which
have changed from the fiat to the grad
uated rate,

WILL AVOID A SNUB.
President Changes His Attitude
Regarding Jewish Petition.
A Feeling That Enough Has Already Been
Said and There Is No Disposition
to Incur the Enmity OF
the Gar.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 15.-An i'm
portant conference was held at Saga
more Hill Tuesday between the pres
ident and representative Jewish citi-
zens of the society of the B'Nai Birth
regarding the petition to the Russian
government on the Kishineff outrages.
Besides the president the parties to the
conference were Simon S. Wolf, OF
Washington, Oscar S. Strauss and Leo
N. Levi, of New York.
The result of the conference at Sag
amore Hill has not been disclosed yet
but a strong intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
the Russian government. The desire
of both the president and Secretary
Hay is that the kishineff incident
should be closed as soon as possible
as further delay in its consideration
might prove embarrassing to this gov
eminent in other diplomatic negotia-
tions with Russia. Inasmuch as the
Russian government has indicated by
ZIG vi oCNCiO - oSA~
uine disposition to punish adequately
the perpetrators of the Kishinef MUIR
ders and in addition those who insti-
gated them, 1t is problem for the
president and Secretary Hay to solve
whether representations concerning
the incident now are either desirable
or necessary.
This May Explain Some Things.
Washington. July 15.-Far-reaching
in its effects on the Manchurian situa-
ton was the conference Tuesday at the

DISSOLUTION SEEMS NEAR.
Tuesday Morning the Pope Was In Semi
Comatose Condition and There
Seemed No Hope.

Rome, July 14.-"While there Is life,
there is hope" was all the consolation.
that DR.. Lapponi could give last night
in admitting that Pope Leo's condi--
ton was very grave" The pontiff
has suffered another relapse and he
lies this morning in more critical
condition than at any time since the
middle of last week. The semi-coma--
tose condition into which he fell at
midnight and the confused state OF
his heretofore lucid mind on his
awakening at an early hour this morn
ing. accompanied by still greater de-.
preston than during yesterday, are
regarded as symptoms of the gravest
nature and as pointing to an immi--
rent dissolution.
