HOT SHOT FROM FOLK
MISSOURI GOVERNOR GRlLLS THE
INSURANCE GRAFTERS.

Warrensburg, Mo-, Oct 6-Governor
Folk in speech here, announced his
views on life insurance graft in this
emphatic language:
when the directors of "a great in
surance company use the money intrust-
ed to their care for their own profit,
that is graft.
when the president of a great insur-
ance company takes the funds held in
trust for the benefcaries of insurance
policies and, without their knowledge
and consent, converts a part of this trust
fund into a political campaign fund, that
is embezzlement.
1T is Just the same as if a public
official in charge of public funds were
to put his hands into the public treasury
and take therefrom money which he
turns over to someone else for political
or private purposes.
"There is now in the hands of insur-
ance companies in the United States a
total sum greater than the money-sup-
plv of the nation. 1t has become of
nearly as much Importance to the wei
fare of the country what individual con-
trolls the mIlmons of dollars of this or
that life insurance company as it is who
is secretary of the treasury of the Uni
ted States.
fragrant breaches of trust on the
part of those intrusted with handling
these millions call attention to the ne
cessity of holding these trustees to a
strict accountability before the bar of
Justice.
Officials of IL life insurance company
should be prosecuted when they are
faithless, the same as corrupt men in
public office.
Legitimate combinations of capital,
whether. they be for insurance purposes
or otherwise. are entitled to fair treat
ment, the same as individuals; with
equal and exact justice, no more and nc
less
"But if they cannot exist without re-
sorting to bribery and surreptitiOus vio-
lations of the law, it would be better fOr
the people that they be wiped out of ex-
istence.
"The time may come when the state
will insure her own citizens at far less
cost and with far more safety to those
who need that protection.
''When one reflects that Missouri alone
sends away premiums amounting to
$l4,OS4,046 a year, the gigantic nature
of the insurance trust can be realized.
"The millions piled up in the great in
surance companies seem to be the foun-
dation of what is known as the System
whereby the financial affairs of the coun
try are being manipulated to the injury
of the people and the benefit of a special
few. If the System is working an illeg
al game, the best way, instead of trying
to beat the System at it's own game
is to put a stop to it by enforcing the
law, against the members OF the 'Sys
tenn and take their graft away from
them"

ALLEGED BREACHES OF
NEUTRALITY BY FRANCE.

Paris, May S.-The critical tone OF
the British press concerning Frances
alleged breaches of neut rality in Indo-
China brought out an emphatic gem
eral statement to-day from the for
eign Office that the accusations are
unfounded. The feeling prevails here
that the situation is gradually assum-
ing mucn tension, and reports are cur
rent that positive instructions of the
French officials here receive perfume
tory execution on the part of their
subordinates in Indo-China owing TO
individual sympathy existing between
the civil and naval French and Rus
sian authorities.
A semi-oficial note issued this alter
noon says: Contrary to allegations
cont famed in a dispatch from Hons
Kong to a foreign agency. not only
has the French government not dis
regarded the rules of neutrality, but
after sending iis civil and military
agents very precise instructions for
the enforcement of those rules. the
government has unremittingly seen 70
their execution.

RUSSIANS ARE
FALLING BACK
TO FIRST LINE or DEFENSE
WITH BUT SLIGHT RESISTANCE.
LlNEvlTcH WILL WITHDRAW
TO MAIN POSITION WITHOUT
BATTLE.
Rx Associated Press.

ST. Petersburg. May s.-Interest IS
once more directed to Manchuria, the
news from the front indicating that
Field Marshal Oyama is pressing Gen
eral Linevitch's advance posts east
and west of the railroad with consider
able force as though about to under
take a general offensive movement.
The Russians are offering slight re-
sistance and are falling back upon
their first line of defense The Rus
sian advance covers a front of about
one hundred miles extending from
Singtmantsu ON the Lao river in
southeasterly direction across the
railroad above Changtu to the Manda-
rim road, leading TO Kirin, to Kamal
pass, about seventy miles TO east OF
Tie pass. The Russian cavalry pro-
tect both wings, small bodies being
probably beyond the Lao river in
Mongolia, to guard against surprise
turning movement in that direction.
Experts believe, however, that Oya-
mas purpose is to flank in front of the
east, turn Kirin and interpose himself
between Hardin and Vladivostoek pre-
paratory to the investment of the lat
ter place Linevitch's dispositions
seem especially taken to meet such q
plan He viii not give battle along
his present line, but would gradually
rsaIre and draw in his, forces as Oya-
mas strategy develops. to the main
Russian position, which extends 1dae
west from Kirin, through Kuanchang-
tsu to Huattainamen. A considerable
force of troops also is reported to be
due east of Kirin as far south as Tu-
men river TO contest the Japanese adj
vance northeastHard toward VladivoS-
took. 1t is not regarded as certain
that the Japanese advance will really
be serious. Oyama is known to have
received large reinforcements which
have flied up the Japanese ranks, and
he brought up immense quantities of
supplies and ammunition after the
battle of Mukden botn by way OF
Sinmintin and over the reconstructed
I Manchurian railroad.
| But at the war Office here there is
difference of opinion as to whether
! Oyama is yet ready and 1t is added
that if he is in earnest, probably almost
a fortnight will elapse before the IS
sue is decided, the preliminaries OF
each of the battles of the present war,
