II think the water scarcity has
nothing to do with the increase in
insurance rates." was Councilman
Pratt's surprising statement today.
The insurance companies have taken
this only as an excuse. What the
business men of the city should do
is to form a mutual insurance COM
pany in Spokane as they have done in
other parts of the country"
The cry OF the insurance men that
the rates were raised on account of
lack of a water supply in Spokane is
discredited by many business men. 1t
is now claimed that the insurance men
have taken the water proposition as
an excuse to raise the rates 20 per
cent; in fact, It is now said the rea-
son of the raise is on account of the
great Baltimore and Syracuse fires.
The insurance companies lost mil
lions of dollars in these two con-
fagrations and the theory is that
they desire to recoup their losses
1t Is said the insurance rates have
been increased all over the east and
that this, and not the water scarcity,
is the reason for Increasing the rates
in Spokane.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE
capital has a desolate appearance
this morning. A driving snow storm
prevails, while the faces of the peo-
pie depict sadness.
Early morning newspapers brought
details of the catastrophe and even
the most ignorant bought them and
implored passersby to read aloud.
The papers unanimously deplore the
disaster and try to cure Admiral
Makaroff and the other officers by re-
calling the collision between the Eng
lish battleships Victoria and Camper
aux during the maneuvers in the
Mediterranean a few years ago in
which nearly the entire crew of the
Victoria was lost.
In official circles the hope is ex-
pressed that the catatastrophe will be
a benefit to the Russian fighters, add
ing to their rage and courage.
1t is cited that Russian officers
have solemnly sworn in case they

"There has been no especial change

Newsboys who sell The Press are
happy this week, for they are making
record-breaking sales on account OF
the extra and regular editions Of the

ly than ever before in the history

kane.
Some of the boys are making SO
a day and the highest record is $3.50.
They are looking forward impatiently
to tomorrow and Saturday, when
they expect to break the record.
The great demand for the paper is
because of the exposure of employ
ment agencies which has been run
ming in the paper throughout the
week and which none of the other
newspapers of the city have dared to
publish.
