RATES TO GO UP.
Fire Insurance Companies de-
eide ON an Advance.

New York, March 4.-Fire insurance
rates on risks in the congested districts
of large cities are to be advanced, ac-
cording to the Journal of Commerce.
The great losses in Baltimore, Roches-
ter and other cities thoroughly aroused
the underwriters in regard to the con-
hagration danger of important bust
ness centers throughout the country
and committee of twenty was APP
pointed by the executive committee of
the national board of fire underwriters
to discuss the whole subject of bust
ness risks.
After several meetings this commit
tee evolved a statement addressed to
all members of the national board en-
bodying nearly all the insurance COM
panies of Importance in the United
States.
The committee recommends that at
the meeting of the board next May the
entire subject shall be gone over thor
oughly because it is one of vital inter
est to the business men of the country;
that subcommittee be at once ap-
cOngested districts of the cities having
a population of 100000 and over, and by
expert opinion shall determine the rel
ative danger of CONGREGATIONS in these
districts by reason of defective fire de-
partment, water supply or of building
construction; that this subcommittee
shall fix for recommendation to the
various rating associations schedule
for the advance of the fire insurance
rates in such congested districts and
that schedule be prepared by the sub
committee applicable to all congested
business districts, making uniform
charges for area, height OF buildings as
well as for vertical openings through
floors and roof, open stairways, lack of
standard fire shutters, blind attics.
walls and floors not standard, wood
sheathing, electrical equipment and
tenants in excess of two, etc, as well
as a unifrom and liberal allowance for
the installation of automatic sprinklers
and other fire extinguishing facilities.
The board has no power to make it's
rates binding but, as stated. the in
creases will be recommended to the
rating associations and undoubtedly
applied at once.

New York March Especial tele-

He Is Renominated for State Senator
from Thirty-eighth District.

Garden City, Kas., March 4.-Fred
Dumont Smith was renominated for
state senator from the Thirty-eighth
senatorial district by the senatorial
convention here yesterday afternoon.
This district takes in seventeen cOun-
ties, more than half the big Seventh
congressional district.
The convention effected a temporary
organization by electing H. S. Rogers,
of Pawnee county, chairman, and Sam
uel Haggy, of Edwards county, secre-
tary. After the appointment of the
usual committees, w. NJ. Glenn, of
Greeley, was made permanent chair
man, and w. p. Vernon, of Edwards,
permanent secretary.
George W. Watson, of Edwards, as
chairman of the committee on resolu-
lions, made report endorsing Roose-
welt for president, and pledged the
convention for Victor Murdoch for con-
gress, Hoch for governor, W. J. F'itz-
gerald for delegate to national conven-
ton, and F. D. Smith as delegate at
large, and commencing Senator Smith
for his faithful services in the past
four years as senator from this dis
trict.
The speech naming Senator Smith
for denomination was made by Justice
Mason of the supreme court, and the
nomination was made by reclamation.
After his speech of acceptance, the
flag donated by w. c. Edwards, of
Kinsley, to the county giving Con-
gresham Murdoch the largest proper
tional vote at the special election last
August, was presented to Finney
county
