Rendered Unconscious--Streets Greatly
 Damaged by the storm.
 Ansonia, Aug. A.-In one of the worst rain and electrical storms ever experienced here there was but one ac- cident of any consequence. While Lo- retta shorteH was attending to some work in the kitchen of her fathers house in Platt street, a bolt of light ming struck the building, went through the window near where she was work ing and rendered her unconscious. She was badly burned about the hips, but it is believed she will recover.
 Scores of cellars were flooded and the trolley service was crippled for several hours. There were several washouts along the railroad and trolley tracks, but no serious ones, the principal dam age being suffered by the owners of places whose cellars were flooded.
 Every gravel street in this city was greatly damaged by the storm, and at the foot of soine streets there are piles of earth and gravel seven feet high. In Vine ptreet there is a hole four feet deep and at the foot of Platt street there is a pile of gravel as high as a man is tall. About 6:SO o'clock the electric lighting plant was knocked out by the storm, and from then on the city, as far as electric lights were con- cerned, was in total darkness. Scores of men were pressed into sevrice to patrol the streets with lanterns, and some were stationed all night on the central street corners, Reports from above here show that the storm was se- were, but it was felt in this place prob ably more than any place along the Naugatuck valley. s

IOWA
IOWA TO CORRECT
INSURANCE EVILS
TWO BILLS TO BE INTRoDUC
AT NEXT LEGISLATURE. E.
One Is Designed to Do Away with De-
ferred Dividend Policies and the
Other will Require a Distribution of
Profits Among Policyholders.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Sioux City, Iowa, Oct. 16-The general as
sembly of Iowa will be asked this winter to
pass two bills for the correction Of scandalous
conditions in life insurance companies.
One will be designed to do away with the de-
ferred dividend policy by requiring dlstribu-
ton of profits to policyholders, II not annuaIly'
at least every five years.
The other will be drawn for the purpose OF
putting money paid in premiums for life insur-
ance, at least partly under the control OF the
state and will likely require investment in Iowa
of certain part Of the receipts from iowa
policyholders.
Already many members of the assembly have
talked over the situation or written letters to
each other about it, and 1t is practically certain
that legislation, as outlined above, will be en-
acted this winter.
from Woodbury. county, said today that he an
ticipated the two bills would be presented TO
the legislature this winter and added that ne
fully expected to offer them himself upon tne
opening of the assembly, unless similar meas
ures are outlined at a conference before that
time : ( =
lone of the worst evils about life insurance
as conducted today Mr.. Jepson said, ''is the
extravaganza to be found in the expense item.

ings that meant bitter denial, walk into offices
sumptuously furnished at their expense, and
pay their premiums. In these offices they find

'Now, why can't the life insurance business
be conducted in the United States as in Eng
