ORIGINAL POLICY GOOD.
FraternaI Insurance Paper Payable to
the First Beneficiary.

Sioux Falls. s.. D., Oct. cor con-
siderable Importance to beneficiaries in
fraternal societies Is the recent de-
cision of the state supreme court in the
case of Foss vs.. the Modern Woodmen
and Peterson vs.. the Modern Woodmen.
A policy for the sum OF $1,000 was in
volved in the suit. The policy original
IL was issued to Gustave Peterson. a
resident OF Sioux Falls. and was made
payable to II brother living in the Ole
country.
Peterson was taken sick and finally
died. During his illness and up to the
time of his Heath he vas cared for by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Foss Of this city.
While lying upon his deathbed, Peter
son changed his insurance policy. MAX
Ing $1,000 payable to another brother
who resided in Sioux Fails. md the
other 1000 payable to Mr.. Foss. -
The case finally reached the state c.r-
G. nit court. where it developed that.
Peterson had not signed the application.
for a change in policy, his Sioux Falls,
brother admitting that he had signed
the name of his dying brother to it,;
but at the request of the brother.
Judge Jones. OF the state circuit
fc~ decision, decided in favor Of the
o.c:sinal beneficiary and ordered hat
the full mount of the policy be paid
to the brother residing in the old
country. This was largely on the
ground that the dying man was not in
ft condition mentally or physically to
make the change in the policy and
that in any Foss. not being a
relative OF Peterson. could not. under
h laws of h WOodmen order. be
made a beneficiary. beneficiaries being
limited to relatives OF the policyholders.
The case was appealed to the state
supreme court. which has now affirmed
the decision OF Judge Jones and the
policy stands as 1t originally was.

NEW YORK HORSE SHOW.
Woman Led All Exhibitors at Today's
Contest

NEW YORK, November 16.-A woman led
all the exhibitors in the contest for first hon.
ors al the annual horse show when this social
function began today's session. Mrs. John
Gerken of Brooklyn upset recent precedents
of horse-show honors when she passed
E. D. Jordan of Boston last night in the
race for first place. He was the winner
last year and had led all this week up to
late last evening. Today Mrs. Gerken's
record was s1,325 in prizes, against 81 OBS
for Mr. Jordan. She had six blue ribbons
three reds, three yellows and one highly
commended ribbon.
Although the Boston exhibitor had taken
an equal number of the blue ribbons with
Mrs Gerken, and more seconds, his prizes
were less valuable than hers. One of the
best programs Of the week was scheduled
for today. with twenty-eight events on the
cards. Many of these classes were for
racing horses. Interest centered princi-
pally in two events.
One of these was the contest for jumpers
or hunters, with six fences to clear in place
of the usual number of two. These fences
were of different heights, beginning at five
feet and ending with two six-foot jumps
The other leading attraction was for four
in-hand road teams. Eleven teams were
entered for this event, making forty-four
horses in the tan-bark arena at the same
time.

Doesn't Want Officials to Give All Their

President Roosevelt In his instructions

assistant secretary of the treasury is chair
man, and which was created by the Presi-
dent to ascertain what changes may be
necessary to place the conduct Of the ex
ecutive business of the government on the
most economical and effective basis. called
attention, among other things, to useless
letter writing. urging that It should be elm
mated from the government business. With
reference to this particular branch OF the
commissions inquiry the President said
"a resolute effort should be made to Sc
cure brevity in correspondence and the
elimination of useless letter writing. There
is type of bureaucrat who believes that
his entire work and that the entire work
of the government should be the collecting
of papers in reference to case, comment
ing with eager minuteness on each, and
corresponding with other officials In ref
erence thereto. These people really care
nothing for the case, but only for the doc
uments in the case. In all branches of the
government there Is a tendency greatly to
increase unnecessary and largely per-
functory letter writing"

ton she was still seriously i'll and IL could
not be said that she would recover. DIR. W.

in bad health and that long confinement
would prove fatal
The prisoner did not take the witness
stand, but his counsel, Judge ID. #. Brooke,
speaking for him. declared that Dr. Chiles
stoutly protested his innocence. The court
said that he had right to bail, and reclted
that even in the event of the death of Miss
Atkinson the charge could be only second
degree murder or manslaughter against the
accused.

Panic on the Bourse.
ANOTHED GREAT STRIKE.
One Hundred Thousand Workmen in
st. Petersburg Quit Work.

Mr.. Spencer Eddy's account of the situa-
ton In Russia. received at the State De-
partment overnight, but dated yesterday,
is to the effect that the recent procIama-
tion of martial law in Poland has not had
a pacific effect. Yesterday at noon 100000
laborers in st. Petersburg and vicinity
struck English manufacturers closed mills
Indefinitely and sent their families out OF
the country. 1t was feared that another
general strike would follow shortly, but
there is no immediate prospect of such an
event The text of the resolution passed
at the recent meeting of council of la
borers deputies follows:
The imperial government continues to
trample on corpses. 1t metes out courts
martial to the brave soldiers and sailors at
Cronstadt, who arose in defense of their
rights and freedom OF the people. 1t has
thrown over the neck of the prosecuted
Poles the moose of martial law. The coun-
Gil of laborers deputies calls upon the
revolutionary pro,etariat of st. Petersburg
to resort to general political strike, which
has already given a proof of its menacing
strength in order TO show their frateraai
solidarity with the revolutionary soldiers
and sailors of Cronstadt and to the revo-
lutionary proletariat of Poland. On the
18th of November at noon, the laborers
at st. Petersburg shall go on strike, with
the revolutionary watchWord Down with
court-martial,' Down with capital punish
ment Down with martial law in Poland
and all Russia
The situation has undoubtedly become
more serious If another general strike
should occur, 1t might be graver than be-
fore
Another dispatch from Spencer Eddy,
which came today, says, In substance, that
all railway communication is cut off; that
peasants will be given a large portion of
imperial lands in a few davs; that pardons
have been granted to the Cronstadt mutt
neers, except six. who were shot today

giving of imperial lands and action on the

stopping trouble, He says the city is quiet

Penza is in the heart of the vast region

THE MADDEN DIVORCE SUIT
Courts in Two States Interested in De-
cision

CINCINNATI Ohio, November 16.-De-
Gliding that a separation was warranted un-
der all the circumstances, alimony to the
amount of $3.50 month and attorneys fees
of 5000 were ordered by Judge James B
Swing in this city today in the suit of Mrs
Madden for alimony pending the decision
of the Kentucky courts on the suit for
divorce between John H. Madden and her
self The alimony is to be secured to Mrs
Madden permanently, but the Ohio court
holds that the children are within the
jurisdiction of the Kentucky court, and
that the Ohio court cannot decide as to
their disposition.
1t is further decided that Mrs Madden's
bona fide residence IS in Cincinnati. and
that she could therefore maintain a suit
for divorce in the Ohio courts, which have
jurisdiction in her case. Judge Swing said
that the allegations for gross neglect were
partially admitted, but that while proba bly,
they do not constitute sufficient ground for
divorce, they do furnish sufficient grounds
for alimony. He believed that a reconcilia-
ton was seemingly impossible, and there
fore separation was warranted and the
wife's support imperative.
