Hint at Insurance Pool,
Especial Correspondence
If County Attorney Miller, of Clinton,
proves the charges which he has pre-
ferred against 16 fire insurance repre-
sentatives who he arrested In his homo
town recently, he will have proved con-
clusively that an insurance pool of no
mean proportions is engaged in an en-.
deavor to fleece residents of this state.
The formal charge made against the
men in custody, is that of forming a
combination, the object of which is to
regulate fire insurance rates, and in con-
nection with the case Miller declares
that the meeting at which the insur-
ance men were arrested took place for
the purpose Of forcing the Clinton
agents into the pool. The special agents
arrested were: William Merritt, Fort
Dodge; James Marshall, j. D. Carpen-
ter and e. N. Wood, Omaha; e. s..
Phelps, Burlington; Roger Swire, Iowa

Auto Club for Good Roads.


Agitation for good roads has been
taken up by the Iowa Automobile
club, which makes this city its head.
quarters, and In order to show resi-.
dents OF the state just how the thing
is done. the organization at recent
meeting here decided to build and
maintain for year a sample good
road" from the end of w. Ninth street
to the army post, known as Fort Des
Moines. The Iowa Automobile club
has long been discussing good roads,
how to build them, who should build
them, how they should be maintained,
the various Kinds Of material for road
building, the bad roads, roads that
should be better. and. In fact, every.
thing about roads, but the club had
taken no definite action until last
night. At the meeting last night, Joe
Trigg addressed the club and spoke
OF roads, dwelling particularly upon
leveler and scraper, to make and
maintain good dirt roads. He ex.
planned the building and operation Of
the device and showed how good roads
could be made and maintained at q
very low cost. w. w. Wise. OF the
board board Of public works, was pres
ent, and said that the board HAD Of:
dered the device. and was about to
experiment with It. and that the board
would give the club all assistance pos.
sible in the matter of road building.
1t was then decided that an appropria.
ton be made by the club to build
sample road and maintain 1t for q year.

Wants Prison Life.

BY his request for readmission to
the penitentiary Joseph Buck q par
oiled convict Of this county, has upset
all presidents in the history Of the
state. The sentence was suspended
by Gov. Cummins, Buck having been
a model prisoner, on April II, 1905. A
month Of freedom was more than Buck
could stand. A telephone message
from Warden Jones at Fort Madison
prison yesterday morning notified the
executive Office that Buck was. there
pleading for re-entry behind the stone
walls. Pardon Clerk Garrett received
in the executive Office mail q letter
from Buck, in which the young man
told the governor that he preferred
being in prison to being free. Clerk
Garrett directed the warden to take
back his prisoner, which was done, and
Buck again was happy.

In Talk Before Senate Committee

His Convictions on Other
Big Matters.

Russell Woodland, STAR Correspondent
Des Moines, Ia., May 15.-Governor
Cummins has spoken his views of rate
regulation Of railroads, and the tension
which has invested the minds of those
vitality interested in the statesman's
appearance at Washington before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce has been partially relieved by
his statement. Gov. Cummins said
the Esch.Townsend bill should be
abandoned and another one drawn.
Asked what amendment he thought
should be made to the present bill, if
1t were kept, he replied he would
amend 1t by giving the commission the
power to fix rates as he had explained,
and would base all rates upon the cost
OF railroad service. He said he did not
think the private car system an evil
great enough to require abolition, but
he thought 1t would be better II the
railroads owned all the cars. He be-
lieved the railroads OF the United
States were overeapltalized by some.

What object to is that the railroads
shall be permitted to continue their
policy Of developing the country &C.

no complaint against rates IN this
