TREMENDOUR EFFECTS.
Will Result From Investigations
in Life Insurance
Companies.

what Us the pOllcy nOluer going
to get out of it? Is there going to
be any material benefit in the pre-
sent, any safeguard for the future,
to the countless thousands of men
and women who have pain their
money into the big life insurance
companies as a result of the legisla-
tive investigation and the startling
revelations that have been dragged
from the lips of unwilling witnessed?
These questions the Inquirer put
to-day to the man best able to an
swer them Charles +. Hughes, the
lawyer whose relentless and almost
wizard-like questioning has unmask-
ed a state of AFFAIRS that has stirred
the financial and political world to a
constant troment Of explanations
that do not always explain.
while it would not be proper to
forecast the report Of the committee
which will shortly be prepared for
presentation. ltcan safely predicted
that the result will be Of incalculable
benefit to the policy holder.
1--WE hope the ultimate result will
be constructive. The exhibition of
abuses had Only been a step. Il was
necessary to exhibit them in order
to correct them. The work of the
committee has not been destructive
except so for as ii will be destructive
Of abuses.
1T has not hit at life insurance.
1t has merely exposed the abuses
that have grown up in life insurance
to the end that they might be cor
rected for all time to come
HAS sufficient public sentiment
been aroused to insure the passage
of corrective legislation
1.-The effect has been tremendous,
not only here but all over the world.
We nave really done something to
awaken the conscience af the Amer
,an people. Entirely apart from
legislation we have aroused a spirit
that seems to give hope that the
American people have come into
their own. In the future they will
demand better standards in both our
financial and political affairs
Mr.. Huges paused.
IL do not want to appear oracu-
lar. and ! would prefer others to

have been impressed with the let
tiers that are pouring in from all
over the Union. They all show that
the American people demand that
corporate business hereafter be con-
Quoted squarely and with a clean
balance sheet.
1T does not make any difference
how men cloak themselves, what
their wealth or position may be the
people now demand that they show
clean set of book. The people
who in the future achieve what we
call success must show clean hands
and methods that will stand investi-

A California "Japtown."

The permanent Asiatic population of
Vacaville proper bring nothing at all
into the avenues of trade. Their money
goes eventually back to their native
country, just as that of the Chinese
does. In addition, some of the white
mans money goes with it, for they are
actually cutting into the white trade
here. A trip through Japtown will
convince anyone of this fact. Exten-
sive laundries, large general merchan-
disc stores and employment agencies
elbow each other there. Three billiard
saloons are crowded into one block.
There is an ice cream parlor and a
bank. Everything which an Oriental
heart could wish is on sale, and many
things are there which cater to the
Occidental appetite. In short, Jap
town is a complete little city in it
self, enormously large in proportion to
the whole community, and built in
true Oriental style, so far as the tiny
proportions Of the living apartments
are concerned.--San Francisco Chren-
icle

Travelling in the interior of East
Africa, an Engllshman, Mr.. Charles
Bulpett, tells the following thrilling in
which took place at a spot
about 500 miles inland from Mombasa
lin letter to friend in England:
"The narrowest escape / have had
was from lion about a month ago.
went into the thick thorn bush after
him, which was rather mad. But. he
would not come out, and I was deter
mined TO get him. He charged me
when the bush was all in his favor.
knocked him over with two bullets,
but still he came on, and had nothing
for it but to run.
when knocked him over with the
second barrel he was within yard of
me. He made a grab at me, and with
prodigious effort / managed to jump
on to the top of thorn bush. There
we were, he looking at me and at
him about three feet above his head.
I expected to be dragged down at every
moment, but as it turned out he was
too far gone, and called out to some
body to come into the bush and finish
him.
Last night adds Mr.. Bulpett, II
slept on the equator, my legs to the
south Of it and my head to the north,
the small of my back on the line" -

The skirt is cut in five cores and is
laid in three tucks of generous width.
The upper edge Is shirred TO give the
effect of shallow yoke, and the full

Trees strange cron.

There is curious sight in the fork
of an umbrella tree on Washington
street, between Fourth and Fifth ave
nues. 1t is fine growth Of wheat al
most ready to come out into head
The stocks are nearly two feet long
and the blades long ana healthy look
ing. It was at first thought that this
growth consisted of shoots from the
tree, but on closer examination it was
found to be wheat. 1t has no founda-
ton of earth, or If there is any, it is SO
hidden by the growth as to be invisible.
The wheat grains in some way found
lodgment in the crevices of the bark,
and have probably had no other earthly
bed than that formed by dust which
during the dust storms Of the summer
was blown there.-Arizona Republican.
