INSURANCE POOL
City Council Wants State
Officials to Break Al

THEY CLAIM IT is ILLEGAL
Say Stamp Clerk Enables Company
to Make High Rate Governor and
Auditor to Be Asked to Compel
Withdrawal From II.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 2.-The city
council has adopted resolutions look.
ing toward the dissolution Of the To-
cal board of fire insurance agents
and seeking to establish basis of
local insurance which will permit of
competition between agents. Under
the present management, all insur-
ance agents of the so-caled old line
companies present their policies to
an appointed agent, who stamps them
before forwarding them or returning
them to the agent presenting them.
In this way, a discrimination or cut
rate cannot be made effective for the
reason that no policies are stamped
or approved by the appointed agent,
unless at regular rates and in every
way conforming to the rules and
regulations of the local board.
Members of the council harbor the
idea that the board is nothing more
or less than pool formed for the
purpose of keeping down competition
and maintaining a stiff insurance
rate. At the regular meeting of the
council, resolutions will be made
calling upon the governor Of the state
and the state auditor to forward to
the president of each insurance COM
pany in the state form of affidavit
requesting them to swear that their
company has no compact or under
standing with other companies as to

EIGHT DEAD IN WRECK
on THE ROCK ISLAND

Des Moincs, Oct. 31.--A head-on
collision between the Rock Island fast
meat train, No. 96, eastbound, and a
fast freight, No. s., westbound, at
Casey at 6:15 o'clock last night, caus'
ed the death of four trainmen and one
passenger, The men buried under
tons Of debris, and with the wrecked
cars burning from fire started by over
turned stoves, were all found With
their lives crushed out and their faces
hardly recognizable.
The wreck occurred at the east end
Of the Casey yards, where the trains
met through the mistake of Conductor
Reynolds of train No. So, running as
first section, who had passed the
first section of the fast train, at Menlo
and supposed there was no additional
section following.
The trains met each other going
at full speed. The engineers on both
trains saw the headlights of the other
train bearing down upon them, but
owing to the speed which they had
attained were unable to stop them in
time to prevent collision. The crash
could be heard for miles. The heavy
freight cars telescoped each other,
crushing their sides into kindling
wood and filling the right Of way
with merchandise, broken rolling
stock, and the mangled remains of the
victims. lN Mu
The dead are: Rev. J. w. Caldwell
of Van Meter, pastor Of Methodist
church, crushed under debris OF immi-
grant car; Bert Shields OF Valley
Junction, engineer on first section
freight, No. So; G. B. Marshall of Val
ley Junction, fireman on first section
freight, No. IS; B. w. Johns of Val
ley Junction, brakeman on first sec
ton freight, No. IS; B. w. Nelson OF
Valley Junction, fireman on second
section fast meat train, No. SO. Con-
ductors Reynolds and Caskey and En-
gineer Lumsden, all of Valley juno
ton, were seriously injured.
Des Moines, Nov. 1.-The complete
list of fatalities in the Rock Island
wreck, made out by officials and given
out yesterday, shows that eight met
their death in the accident, all but two
of whom have been identified. One of
the unknown men was so badly crush
ed as to be almost beyond recognition,
but is thought to be a negro tramp
who was stealing ride on one Of
the trains, all members of the crew
of both trains having been accounted
for. =
O. W. Hepner, a tramp stealing a
ride on the train, was found early
Yesterday morning under the piled up
wreckage. Another body, evidently
