ANOTHER INSURANCE SCANDAL.
Western Life Indemnity Company
 Charged With Insolvency.

Charged With Insolvency.
 Chicago, Oct. 3.-E. I. Rosenheld, general manager of the Western Life Indemnity Company. was described as a 'traffker for his own personal profit and in utter disregard Of the rights of policyholders" in an intervening peti- tion presented before Judge Kohlsaat in the Federal Court yesterday.
 The intervening petition was drawn in behalf of Mrs. Ida Stratton. widow of James Stratton, of New Orleans. who, 1t Is alleged. holds an unpaid death claim for 5000 against the com pany.
 down on the first of the year as $4Ss,- 900 and are said to have dwindled un- der Rosenfeld's management until they are now but $313.000.
 The bill asserts that there are many thousands of outstanding policies amounting to $1S,0o00oo. It submits that the assets of the company are not near sufficient to pay the liabilities.
 Attorney s. C. Levinson said he in- tended to ask Judge Bethea to refer the case to a bankruptcy referee fin order that Rosenfeld may be placed on the witness stand. The object of this in- tended move, it Is believed, Is to force Rosenfeld to testify concerning his as- sets, also concerning his alleged con- tract with the Western Life Indemnity Company as to payment of one dollar to Rosenfeld on every $1,000 insurance and concerning Rosenfeld's alleged holdings in a number of business en- terprises.
 Attorney Hoyt King appeared in court for Rosenfeld, who was not pres- ent. Attorney King said there was no contest against the appointment of receiver or the bankruptcy proceed ings. While the proceedings were be- ing completed before Judge Bethea, Judge Kohlsaat was listening to ar- guments from Attorney Isaac Mayer in opposition to the original bill of com plaint in which the appointment of a receiver. an accounting from the ofa- cials and a reference for the entire matter to a master in chancery was asked

 Reports to tho oyster commission in- dicate that the oyster canneries in the State are getting into operation now and reports are coming form the Ms sissippi coast of preparations to follow suit. The Louisiana factories arc not within zones Of infection and are thus able to get labor from other parts ot the country, but the fact that some towns along the Mississippi coast are infected has pointed dtficulties in the way of the canners there. Reports to the Louisiana oyster Commission make probable that the industry at the end of the season will show an actual gain over last year in the matter of rcvepue in spite of the existence of the fever.

Report Caused Break.

New York. Oct. 3.--The publication of the October bureau report showing the cotton conditions to be 71.2 per cent aganst TAI per cent last month, and 75.S per cent last year. was followed by sensational break in the cotton market today.
 Prior to the publication of the report expectations of bearish showing had caused decline of about 10 to 15 points, and inside of fifteen minutes after the figures were known the de- cline was increased to 3s to A points on active months, with December sell ing at 1915 and January at 10.1s. This was about cent and quarter pound below the high level touched early in July.
 A lower per centage condition had been expected. The loss in condition in the last two months was 3.7 per cent, accompanied with an average loss of t5.s for the same months during the last ten years.
 The market became very active and excited. and heavy blocks of long cot ton were thrown over.

Details of Report.


 Washington. Oct. 3.-The weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau summarizes the crop condition as fol- lows:
 ending October g. as a whole, were exceptionally favorable to agricultural interests. Florida and portions of the central gulf districts suffered injury from excessive rains. The middle and South Atlantic States and southern Texas are in need of rain.
 Highly favorable weather prevailed throughout the principal corn States. An exceptionally large and fine yield of corn is now assured over most of the greater part of the corn belt, and only very small part of the crop in at from to per cent of the total remains exposed to injury from frost. and this Is maturing rapidly. The crop In Missouri was extensively blown down or lodged. but notwithstanding floods the yield in that State vii be very heavy.
 Cotton Condition.
 As whole the reports indicate no decided change in the conditions of cotton as compared with the previous week. a slight improvement being shown in northern Alabama and por- tions of Texas, while in other sec tions of the latter State there has been a slight deterioration.
 The crop has suffered from the ravages of insects in Louisiana, Arr kansas and Texas, boil weevils being numerous in the lasI named State. Rains caused a slight damage In Georgia, Alabama, Southwestern Mis- sissippi and Louisiana and seriously injured the crop in Florida.
 With the exception of heavy rains in Louisiana. Southern Mississippi and Florida and showers in portions of Alabama and Georgia. the weather conditions have been favorable for picking In the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Alabama VI is estimated that from 60 to 75 per cent of the crop has been gathered; in Texas from 55 to 50 per cent; Mississippi. Louisiana and Oklahoma and Indian Territories from 25 to 50 per cent, and in Arkansas and Tennessee from IS to 35 per cent
 Other Crops.
 A light apple crop Is reported near ly everywhere. only a few unimpor- tant apple producing States indicating sufficient yields.
 owing to the extensive prevalence of rot in the principal potato produc- ing States a light crop of potatoes of inferious quality is generally prom ised.
 The fall season, so far. has been exceptionally favorable for blowing and seeding in the central valley. lake region and middle Atlantic States
 Tn portions of the Southern States and on the North Pacific coast, dry soil conditions have not been favora- hle for this work.

Rogers of the insurance investigating committee in speaking of the insurance developments yesterday said: aThe coming week will be an inter- esting one. as in my opinion 1t Will develop the true cause of the insur- ance scandal. which is the fact that the large insurance companies have been paying a great deal more for new busi- ness than 1t is worth.

Dr. C. M. Shanley of South Dakota, who moved to plantation on Bayou Baratara two or three years ago from the Northwest was reported today to be still seriously ill It is believed that the doctor ventured back to active work in fighting the fever too soon after recovery from his own attack. Most of the new cases of fever that are now being reported are certifieated by physicians. Few of them are reported by inspectors. In the beginning more came from inspectors than from phy- sicians. One of the curious results is that more cases of yellow fever are ac- tuaIly being credited to New Orleans in AhA of1icisl reports than are warranted

GERMANS FILLING COUNTRY
Settlers Find an Ideal Location in

Richmond, Va.-Lunenburg county,
along the line of the Southern rail-
way. is filling up with Germans from
the north and west. The newcomers
are buying farms and engaging in cat
tie raising, poultrying, fruit growing.
crane culture and similar pursuits.
More than 40 families have moved in
during the past year, and they appear
to be happy and contented. They are
all making money, living economically
and seem delighted with the conditions
down here.
Three years ago a German came to
Virginia from Minnesota. He bought
farm in Lunenburg county and be-
gan to SOW grass and raise cattle for
market. He paid $4,000 for the farm.
and less than month ago he was Of
fered $4,000 for the farm, declining to
sell at any price. He has made cattle

A colony moved in last month, buy

which was divided up among the col

They do not spread over an immense
acreage but do attend to small fields.

labor than the farmers of this section.
They have begun to demonstrate to

know a thing or two, and the example
of small fields, well cultivated, is being
followed by many of the Virginians.

ming a burglary, but when you both
went to the lodge one night, and stayed
till near morning, and dad came home
with red Turkish fez, and told ma that
you and he had joined the shrine, which
was the highest degree in Masonry, and
you and he were mobiles; and all that rot,
I was on to you bigger than a house, and
you couldn't fool me when you and dad
winked at each otner and talked about
crossing the hot sands of the desert.
Well, dad brought his red fez along,
cause l think he expected he would
meet shriners all over the world, that he
could borrow money of. When we
struck Constantinople, and dad saw that
every last one of the Turks wore red
fez he felt as though he had got among
shriners, and he got his fez out of his
trunk, and he wears it all the time.
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks
here as though he owned harem.. We
go to the low streets, about as wide as
a street car, where Turks are selling
things, with dad wearing his fez, and
he begins to make motions and give
grand hailing signs of distress, and the
Turks look at him as though he had
robbed bank, and they charge enor-
nous prices for everything, and dad
pays with Smile, thinking his brother
Masons are fairly giving things away.
He looks upon all men who wear the fez
as his brothers, and they look at him as
though he was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
on talking to the women here without
an introduction, and a woman in Turkey
had rather die than have Christian
dog look at her. Dad was buying some
wormy figs of merchant, who was
seated on the floor of his shop, and CIV
ing him signs, when curtain behind the
Turk was pulled one side, and woman
with beautiful eyes, and her face COW
cred with yeil, came out with cup of
coffee for tho Turk. Dad shook hands
with her, and said: "Your husband and
belong to the same lodge" and he was
going to go inside and visit the family,
when the woman drew small dagger
out of the folds of her dress, and the
Turk drew one of these scimeters. and it
looked for a moment as though was
going to be half orphan, particularly
when dad put his hand on her shoulder
and petted it, and smiled one of those
masher smiles which he uses at home.
and said: my good woman, you must
not get in the habit of jabbing your hus-
bands friends with this crooked cutlery,
though to be killed by so handsome a
woman would indeed he a sweat daath u,
hut the bluff did not go. and the woman
