FRICK HAS HIS DOUBTS.

New York, Oct Civilian A. Prick superintendent in this city of the Cen tral Life Insurance Go of Cincinnati, expressed doubt yesterday that Insur- ance Superintendent Vandiver of Mis- souri would be able to make good his threat to cancel the license of the New York Life Insurance Co to co business in that state unless President John A. Mccall resigned and the funds used for political campaign contributions were replaced. For two successive terms Mir Prick was insurance com missioner of Wisconsin. He said:
 'I don't see how the state of Ms souri can arbitrarily revoke the license of the New York Life Insurance Co to do business fin that state on any such ground as that mentioned in the letter written by Superintendent Van diver to President Mccall. No insur- ance commissioner has any such right. He can investigate the affairs of company doing business In his state. but only if such examination should disclose gross mismanagement can ne order q reorganization or decide that the company must do no further busi- ness in his state"
 MT Prick told how at the annual convention of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners acuou was taken to investigate some or the larger companies by a committee composed of the commissioners rom Wisconsin. Minnesota. Missouri, ohio' Michigan and New York.
 sMr Mccall at that time told us all about the campaign contributions ne he'd made. adding that he thought 1t m tbe interest of the policy holders. No- bodv took issue with him. We also knew that Robert H. Mccurdy had charge of the foreign business of the Mutual. and that he was getting an extra large commission on It."
 IL was said yesterday that Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew might be Wit ness before the insurance investigation when its sessions are re- sumed this week.

Rochester, N. r., Oct 9.-Senator Armstrong, chairman of the insurance investigating committee, left for New
 York last night. on insurance matters. Before leaving Chairman Armstrong issued this statement:
 T regret very much to see other states apply drastic remedies in ad- vance of action In this state. Our committee was appointed to investi- gate conditions in the insurance busi- ness and to propose remedial legisia- tion. 1 sincerely hope other states will walt until we have had an oppor- tunity to complete our work.
 These insurance companies are per fectly solvent and are able to carry out every contract they have made or may make. There is no reason for re. fusing to permit them to continue to do business. If Nevada proposes to do one thing. Missouri another thing, and some other state still another thing. there will be a chaotic condition of affairs
 Our committee will make the most thorough investigation possible. and when we are through we shall make 1t our business to adopt such legislation as will safeguard the policy holders and make the insurance business safer and sounder and more attractive than it has ever been before. If other stares jump in before we can complete our work or can adopt any legislation ev- erything will be confusion in the in- surance business of the country.
 Our committee was not appointed to tear down the insurance business of the country. but to build 1t up. We are simply tearing down some of the rotten timbers to get the right founda- ton on which to build. The insur- ance body is sound. but it is afflicted with some ulcers. We are performing a surgical operation for the removal of these ulcers from the body, not trying to kill the insurance body"

There is a rat catcher who visits Baltimore periodically to rid hotels. among otlRr places. of the rodent pests. Anong the hotels he has two regular customers. and his advent Is always the signal for the pleasures of the chase in a small way, says the News.
 This rat catcher is not a piper of Pan He has no method of charming iats. but goes after them just as any hunter in the big woods would stalk his same. He does not sit down in front of a rat hole and tease the rodents forth with the sweet strains on a tin flute. Instead. he carries a smail air rife. and it does the work He makes straight for the basement. kitchen. baggage room and open plumbing. where rat holes will he found. If they are anywhere. Having dicated his rat hole. which he seems to accomplish almost by instinct. he lis tens al the opening until his keen ear detects a scratching or a squeak He unerringly locates his quarry by this sound. inserts his rife at just the right angIs. and fires.

No TRorBLE AT MOSCOW.

NO TROUBLE AT MOSCOW.
 st Petersburg, Oct 9-General Ire poff, assistant minister of the interior, has been informed by telephone from Moscow that no serious disorders oc- cured there last night and that the situation was slightly more reassuring this morning But the strike is spread ing and the authorities evidently are very appreheDsive. They are hopeful, however, that the St Petersburg work men will not be affected.
 A serious development at Moscow today was an attempt to interrupt railroad communication. The rails were tempered with short distance from Moscow. causing the derailment of train. but there were no casualties.
 The minister of the interior admits that three Cossack policemen were killed yesterday. but has no confirma- ton of dispatch received by the Russ from Moscow saying that eight bakers were killed in an affray at a bakery and are inclined to question its accllra- cy. saying that their adyices do not mention such an event and pointing out that 1t is hardly possible for troops firing volleys from narrow street to injure strikers st0ning them from fourth story windows.
