". M. Adams Arrested in Cherokee
 County.
 Tecumseh, March a. 3.-(Special. .)--W. M. Adams was arrested yesterday at Bluff ton and sent to jail at Centre in default of bond.
 Adams travelled around soliciting fire and accident insurance and wrote a great many policies collecting money which it Is charged was never turned over to the companies. Several hundred dollars was collected by him in Forney and Biuffton. He wrote a policy for Representative William Siglln of Bluffton to the amount of 5000 on the Hotel at Bluffton giving an order to the firm of McElwee and Smith. Bluffton for $40 on MT. siglin. The firm paid 1t in merchandise and presented it to Mir. Siglin for payment. This he refused stating he did not owe Adams anything. but that the amount on the policy was due the company in Chicago and he would settle direct with 1t. The insurance company wrote to Mr. Siglin not to pay Adams McElwee and Smith swore out warrants for getting goods under false pretense. which resulted in Adams being bound over to the grand iury. A great many farmers and mer- chants have awakened to the fact that they are duped, and quite a string of his victims was at the trial yesterday.

LOOK INTO INSURANCE
A MONTGOMERY DELEGATION
 GOES TO ATLANTA.
Hitch in Arrangement With South. eastern Tariff A.f cciation is to Be Strengthened Out.
 No Reduction Yet.

A party of prominent members of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial Association. including Secretary L. L.. Gilbert, Chairman Charles F. Anderson, of the Insurance Committee; Jacques Loeb, Leopold Strauss and others left last night for Atlanta, for an important conference with the officials of the Southeastern Tariff Association.
 The conference will be held to remove a hitch, which may possibly have arisen In the granting by the Southeastern Tariff Association of a first class rating for Montgomery from an insurance stand point
 It will be recalled that the city was promised a rating as a fFst class city if certain things should be done by the Council. These conditions have been met by the city government of Mont gomery, but the promise of the TarifI Association has not as yet been fulfilled. The local delegation goes to Atlanta to ascertain if there Is any hitch, and to remove the hitch if there is one. By ap- pointment the delegation will confer with officials of the Southeastern Tariff Association who will go to Atlanta from various cities.
 The movement to secure a lower in- Rurance rating for the city of Montgom- cry was inaugurated by the Commercial ana 1nduSlrlai ASSOCIATION. The lnSuf- Ance rate charged in this city is unus- ually high, for a municipality it's size, al though it's record for freedom from de. structive fires is among the best. After considerable correspondence tho Southeastern Tariff Association agreed that if certain Improvements were mad, in the fire department of Montgomery, tn, city would be rated as a first class city Chief among these improvements wal ! the purchase of chemical engine anC the establishment of a new and up ts date fire alarm system. The city un dertook these improvements and they ar, now under way.
 The Southeastern TarffT Association made it's promise in writing in black an, white that the rating of MontRomer, would be changed from a second clas city to a first class city. It is now rum ored that the association desires to mod fly the promises. Jujt what modification Is proposed, or just what will be the sub feet of the conference to-day in AtIant, was not made public by the members O
