PROPOSAL WITH REGARD TO THE
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.. "
T. D. o'BrienN viii Not Serve Unless
Salary Is Raised to $5,0OO-He Says
Fees Now Go to Department, but Law
Should Be Changed Converting Them
to State Treasury.

Insurance Commissioner T. D.
O'Brlen issued a statement today defn-
ing his position. He says that under
the present law the fees for valuation
OF policies do not go to the state, but
that the law should be changed, putting
the office on straight salary basis.
a strong effort will be made. to in
crease the salary. to $4,000. It is now
$4,000, and it is understood. that. Mr..
y >Brien will not remain. on that salary.
He, IS giving up a. large law practice.
A Dill to pc introduced will grant him
$4,000, and also allow a salary for the
tactuary to make the examinations.
MT. - 1Brlen s statement is substan-
tally as follows: s.
MY position seems to be misunderstood

dent and better able to give his best at
tention to the duties if the compensa ton
whether by salary or fees, is clearly and
definitely fixed by law at a reasonable and
FAIR amount, and that everything above
that amount should be paid to the state

Pink blotters announcing the freshman

WRAPPED In MYSTERY
STRANGE ANTICS OF A SET OF
BOOKS BELONGING TO AN UN-
DERTAKING FIRM.


] The lost books of the undertaking
firm of George D. Craige & Go. have
appeared as mysteriously as thew dis
appeared. The missing books were the
cause Of affidavits and profound argu-
ments galore, and their temperance is
the cause of great satisfaction to the at
torneys.
George w. Meyer was appointed re-
ceiver pending settlement of the suit
between the partners, James Amor and
George D. Craige. The receiver went
to the firm s place of business to get
the books, but they were not to be
found They were traced to the lawyers
and Henry s. Mead for one party and G.
G. Laybourne for the other started a
strenuous fire of affdavits relating to
the possession of the books, each accus-
ing the other of having them.
While the lawyers are fighting over
a motion for an order compelling the
defendant to produce the books, the re-
ceiver went to his office and there, neat
ly wrapped and lying on his table, he
found the missing property.
Where they came from, who brought
them, or why, are mysteries.

CLARK ORDINANCE is !.
+. J.. UNDER DISCUSSION

The Clark ordinance is exciting much
interest in: certain quarters. It pro-
poses to re-enact the original liquor
license ordinance and, in effect, repeal
the Rand amendment
1T would forfeit to the city the por-
ton Of the fee corresponding to the I'm.
expired term of the license in case of a
revocation by operation Of law, that is
upon two convictions of violation OF
the law in the municipal court; and 9
forfeiture of :one-half such amount in
case the license is revoked by the may
or. The Rand ordinance provides that
there. shall be no forfeiture of any part
in any event. Z
The friends of the Clark ordinance
say the only opponents Of the ordinance
are the brewing companies, because the
brewing companies claim that as they
pay for and own at least 80 per cent
Of all the. liquor license issued, this
law would be serious blow. /

BIG ATTENDANCE
OF CEMENT USERS
THE CONVENTION NOW IN PROG.
REss PROVES LIVELY.
New Ideas Are Being Worked Out for
the Use Of Material as Old as Civ
ilization- Theorists and Practical
4 Men Meet in the Convention Discus
sions.

Wigs and angel cake are apparently
about the only things that aren t to be
made from cement. This is the conclu-
sion reached by the average visitor to
the exhibits which are feature of the
convention in the interests of cement
products. Fence posts, roofing tiles,
building blocks and cement articles of
more. common use are displayed, to-
gether with the machines and molds for
making them. .s
The convention, held at the city hall,
this morning. Over three hundred men
were in attendance. Matters of tech
meal interest were uppermost and the
cement. men were greedy for informa-
ton. They listened eagerly to the talks
made and the discussions which fol
lowed were so lively and so persistent
that the chairman had to invoke clo-
ture rule to permit other papers on the
program to be read.
+ The discussions showed the benefits
of the convention in bringing the men
Of theory and the men Of practice to-
gether in the discussion of topics near
the hearts and pocketbooks Of both.
The first paper. read this morning
was on the "Coloring of Concrete,' by
J. P. Sherer of Milwaukee. The lively
discussion which followed was led by
hlcnaru u. humphreys, fn1!auelphla
civil engineer and president of the ma
tional ASSOCIATION Of cement users.
Mr.. Sherer said that after seven OF
eight years, experimenting he had
demonstrated that concrete could be
colored, but confessed that the colorine
detracted from it's strength, altho not
to a great degree. =. A stronger color
than the one desired must be infused
as the. concrete bleached it.
The consensus was that colorine
should not be used where the supreme
strength of the concrete was needed.
A paper by Professor Frank H. Con
slant of the University of Minnesota
on Gains and Scope of Laboratory
Tests was along theoretical lines.
The different advocates Of wet anc
dry mixed concrete have been indulgine
in lively discussions and an attempt il
on now to arrange joint debate.
