faction Over the Action of
Hague Government.

The Minneapolis flour market in
Holland is safe. Action taken by the
Dutch in relation to the tariff on i'm
ported flour will profit this city. 1t
places Minneapolis flour exporters in
a position to enlarge their business
with that coountry. and already Hol-
land is the largest buyer Of clear and
low-grade -four that American mills
have. l
The Northwestern Miller and the
local millers have received cables that
flour is to be placed on the free list
in the new tariff bill which the minis
try has just presented to the Dutch
parliament. This is regarded as a
great victory for ANerica, and espec-
tally for Minneapolis fluor.

ing that the nillers were very much
pleased with Hollands action. He
believed that it was the best thing
for Holland, as otherwise bread
would have become, very high in
that country. Altho Holland had
taken the action for its own
good, Mr.. Bovey said that millers
pleased with thte attitude Of Holland
toward, thte United States, notwith-
standing that, owing. to the apparent
Discrimination Of congress to lower the
dut yon bulbs. Holland might well
issue a r ret liz measure: Mr.
lers did a. large business with Hol-
land and that Elf the tariff bill pro-
posed formerly had passed, the
American product would have been
practically shut out from Holland.

Chicago, March 4.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record-Herald says:
To make the United States navy
second in strength among the navies
of the world was yesterday openly de-
clared to be the purpose of the doni-
nant political party, by such leading
republican senators as Hale of Maine
and Lodge Of Massachusetts, the first
speaking for the naval committee, of
which he is chairman, and the second
voicing to some extent at least the
wishes of the national administra-
ton.
Its significance was not lost upon
the naval attaches Of several of the
foreign embassies, who occupied seats
in the diplomatic gallery.
Mr.. Lodge declared, in the senate
chamber:
A big American navy makes for
peace. The most foolish, the most
short-sighted thing the American peo-
pie could do would be to permit their
navy to deteriorate. A rich and ag-
gressive nation must keep a large and
active navy as an insurance policy
against war.
No man in his senses believes this
country ought to have a navy as big as
Y
Hand always must have navy as large
as the navies of any two other powers
combined.
But the United States should have
a navy second to that of Great Brit
ain, and this we shall have in a few
years if we continue our present pro-
gram. 1t was well said in the house
of representatives the other day that
the Monroe doctrine is as big as the
American navy, and no bigger.
That is the truth. And the cheapest
way and the surest way to insure a
long continued pease is to go on build
| ing up our navy till it ranks next tc
that Of Great Britain.

can navy was already third among the
navies of the world. being outranke6
only by Great Britain and France. He
said it was a mistakesato assume tina

Insurance Companies Will Take

Underwriters Committee Urges
That Business Districts Be
Inspected

Examined and Boundaries
Laid Down.

View York, March 4.--Fire insur-
ance rates on risks in the congested
districts flarge cities are to be ad-
vanced.
The great losses in Baltimore, Roch-
ester and other cities thoroly aroused
the underwriters in regard to the con-
fagration danger Of important bust
ness centers- turnout the country and a
committee of twenty was appointed by
the executive committee of the Ma
ttonal Board of Fire Underwriters to
discuss the whole subject of business
risks.
The committee recommends that, at
the meeting of the board next May, the
entire subject shall be gone over thor
oily because it is one of vital interest
to the business men Of the country;
that a subcommittee be at once APP
pointed to define the boundaries of the
congested districts of the cities hav-
ing population of 100, 900 and over
and by expert opinion determine the rel
alive danger of CONGREGATIONS in these
districts by reason of defective fire
department, water supply or of build
ing construction; that this subcommit-
tee shall fix for recommendation to the
various rating associations a schedule
for the advance of the fire insurance
rates in such Congested districts. and
that schedule be prepared by the
subcommittee applicable to all con-
gested business districts, making uni
form charges for area; height OF
buildings, as we'll as for vertical open
ings thru floors and roof. open stair
ways, lack of standard fire shutters
blind attics, walls and floors not stand
ard, wood sheathing, electrical equip
ment and tenants in excess OF: two. etc.
as we'll as suniform and liberal al
lowance for the installation of a1to.
matte sprinklers and other fire extn-
gushing facilities. '' - -.
The board has no power to make its
rates binding but, as stated, the in
creases will be recommended to the
rating associations and undoubtedly
applied at once. -l

SMITH REVEALS
MORMON CREED.
Head Of Church Throws Light on
Polygamous Practices by
Followers.
Men Allowed to Take Plural
Wives Without Consent of
Others.
Senators Hoar and Foraker Clash
Over Testimony in Smoot
Inquiry.

Washington. March 4.-President
Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon
church was called to the stand by
Senator Hoar at the opening Of to-
days proceedings in the Smoot inquiry
to give information on the subject Of
the rights of women in the church
and whether they hold any priestly
authority.
Mr.. Smith said the women are re-
garded as the equals of the men in all
matters of voting, but that in holding
"priestly authority women are not
regarded on the same plane. Then he
explained that the women have a
charitable association known as the
"Woman's Relief society,"" in which
they have authority to perform GER
tain prescribed duties. This authority
is confined to the relieving of distress,
but women are not ordained high
priests, apostles or elders. Fl
Mr.. Tayler asked about M. r. Crow
ley, one of the apostles. Mr.. Smith
said Mr.. Crowley was elected as an
apostle in 1897.
Reading from the Deseret News of
June %. 1903, regarding a speech by
Mr.. Smith at the Weber state re-
| union, Mr.. Tayler asked Mr.. Smith if
he was correctly reported in saying
| that the doctrine of plural marriages
was revelation by God to Joseph
| Smith, Jr., and to reject that would be
| equivalent to a. rejection of God him.
| self.
Mr.. Smith said he believed he was
| correctly reported, and when a list
Of names of those present, including
Senator Smoot, was read, Mr.. Smith
said the list was correct.
| He declared that he would not have
had the article published if he had
been consulted. Pressed for a rea-
son, he said that he was under in
junction not to teach the rightfulness
| of polygan1y and that he had re.
| Trained from so doing in public.
Teaching in Private.
| Senator Hoar called attention to the
fact that the speech was teaching po.
lyganay in private to the importan
and infips7tial gathering at the re
/ llnt5n. IN
Mr.. Smith said his statement wa.
. merely to set right a matter Of his

interesting story which seems to indi-
cate that the Japanese planned to cork
the harbor before firing a shot.
He says that a big Japanese mer-.
chairman approached the entrance
and in the narrowest part Of the
channel suddenly stopped, signaled T
am sinking and commenced to settle.
A tug towed the Japanese vessel into
a shallow part Of the outer harbor.
The merchantmen was loaded with
iron. Her captain declared he had
been caught in storm and the
pumps, which had kept the steamer
af1oat, broke down Just as the entrance
Of Port Arthur was reached.
An imperial order has been issued
summoning the reserve subalterns and
first-class reserve men of European
Russia to the colors for a. six weeks
course of training. A similar order,
has been issued to the naval reserves.
This is interpreted as indicating that
everything is being made ready for the
| mobilization of the whole Russian
army, If necessary.

LOCAL MEN APPROVE
Favor the Plan to Increase Rates il,
Congeste6I l&stris3ts. ~

=
Congested lIstlists. ~
Local fire insurance experts are in
elined to look with favor on the plan
proposed by the executive committee
of the national board, for the increase
of rates in congested districts.
1.-THE necessity of a special rate to
cover con1agration hazard has been
discussed by us and other associations
for, two or three years. said j. A
Brant, secretary Of the Minneapolis
Fire Underwriters association, this
morning. However, no company was
willing to say on just what basis the
increase should be made, and it has
taken this Baltimore fire to arouse
the underwriters to action. " !
"While there is demand for i'll
crease in certain lines of risks which
are now producing losses, and while
the exposure to confagratiOn has
never been properly taken into ac-
count, it can be truly said that there
Is less demand for it here than in
many other portions Of the country:
Five years ago Minnesota losses were
very heavy and the business in bad
shape, but now Minnesota is in better
shape than almost any other state.
But of course any such Increase as Is
proposed would have to be general"
1.-The time is opportune for great
increase in rates and Improvement ir
inspection methods" said G.. B. Shove
whose company, the Millers' and Man
ufacturers', was SO hard hit by the
Baltimore fire. eff many of the build.
ings in this city were given proper in.
spection they would speedily go into
the extra hazardous class, and the rate
on them would go, up until the dan
gers which threatened them because o.
faulty construction were removed. "
"This is especially true in the mat
ter Of electric wiring, which I think
is one of the greatest dangers in the
congested districts. Each building
should have a direct connection will
the street, instead Of having the wires
runs thru several adjoining building
before reaching the main cable .
Leaving out the big Baltimore an(
Rochester fires the losses these las
two months have been abnormal, il
fact, have equalled those of all las
year." said n. S. Head, of N. S. Heat
& Son. Something will have to b.
done to protect the companies agains
losses incident to CONGREGATIONS, ant
I think an increase of 10 cents on eacl
* $3.50 is about what property in con
gested districts ought to bear. 1t i
time something was done to protec
us against such an exposure as is in
cident to placing buildings wall t
wall" ....
