IsH BECAUSE OF EXPOSURE
IN new YORK CITY.
WEATHER THE CoLDEs1 IN YEARS
TERRIBLE SUFFERING REPORTED
AMONG RESIDENTS OF THE
"a POORER SECTIONS.

New York, Jan. ~. Clearing
weather, which followed the great
storm of Wednesday, brought New
York the coldest day it has experienced
In many years. During the early hours
of the morning the mercury reached
the zero mark on the weather bureau
official thermometer and at a. NJ it
stood at 2 degs. above. Terrible suf-
fering is reported among the residents
of some of the poorer quarters OF the
city, where thousands were without
suffi icient heat, clothing or food. Char
liable institutions, where free lodging
is given the homeless were packed to
their capacity during the night
While nothing like full reports from
all sections of the city have been re-
ceived it is known that at least eight
deaths had resulted directly from the
abnormal weather. All of these vic
tins were persons who fell in the
street benumbed by the cold and ex-
hausted from the effort of attempting
to force their way along the snow
drifted streets.
Food and Fuel Is Scarce.
One Of the most serious conditions
which confronts New Workers is the
food and fuel supply. Already there is
practically a famine lin milk. Coal
dealers reported that they had about
two DAYS supply on hand.
Thousands Of persons slept all night
in railroad stations and ferryhouses in
and near the city because of the in
ability OF the railroads. and ferries to
take them to their homes through the
blockade of snow. Especially was this
true of young Womenf employed i'll
Offices and stores in the city.
The plight of the passengers stalled
in trains in the outlying sectors of the
city was pitiable. Though within few
minutes of their destination under nor
NAL conditions they might as well have
been miles away.
Among trains stalled on the New
York Central is the Twentieth Century
limited The train is stuck in drifts
near Iryington with about fifty men
and women aboard who will not be
able to communicate with the outer
world until 500 worl1men sent from
New York can clear the tracks.

THEY SEND LETTER TO DRYDEN
Ohio Insurance PoIicyholders Make
Request of Senator

Cincinnati. Oct. 19.-The following
letter to United States Senator .Jonn
Dryden was made public today by the
officers of the Ohio Policyholders' as
ISOLATION:
Dear Sir: Your circular, with four
questions attached, has been referred
to the Ohio Life Policyholders' as
sociation by number OF persons r.
ceiving the same, with the request
that we answer the same on behalf
of this association
'The object which you seem to have
in view of your questions is to get as
many names as possible in favor OF q
change from the mild supervision OF
the states in order that insurance
companies may escape the burden vi
state taxation.
sAs we understand 1T, you are not
asking for any increase in the sever
ity of the regulation and control II
the insurance business. The policy
holders are asking or will ask for
such regulation and control as will
as far as possible, protect them, Tor
if they are protected the insurance
companies are protected. To this end
the Ohio Policpholders association
favors such control and regulation
as will limit the loading OF premium
charges. The excessive and exorbit-
ant charges made for all classes OF
life insurance leads TO such phenome-
nal profits to stock companies and to
such enormous accommodations by mu-
tual companies that in themselves
they are temptations to men to do
wrong. So if congress has the power
to regulate and control, and will regu-
late and control life insurance busi-
ness because it is interstate COM
merce, it will also have the power
to limit the rates charged just as
President Roosevelt asks congress to
regulate the charges on interstate
commerce on railways, and it will be
far easier to do justice to the insur
ance companies in this. regard.
'This association will read with in
terest the bill which you say you vii
introduce in the next. session OF con
gress. Would you be willing to sub
NIT that proposed measure to us prior
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-10-26

to it's introduction? You say it is a
matt er vitality affecting the welfare
of the American people and SO 1t is,
and therefore you should be willing to
submit it to the American people for
their consideration If you really de-
sire a comprehensive expression of
qualified public opinion. We have
over 5000 members in Ohio and we
will submit your proposed bill to
each one of them if you will give us
the opportunity"

INTERRUPTED DEATH SCENE
"Little Eva" Displayed Her Versa
tility Before Taking Final
Flight.

The introduction of songs and dances
into plays in which they have no legiti.
mate place is not new practice by any
means. 1t dates back to much earlier
days of the drama. And there have been
instances when the interpretations were
of somewhat startling sort. A number
of well-known actors were discussing this
subject when one of the oldest Of the
party said: "Boys, let me tell you that
the tendency is not new one. 1t is
cider than most of you, and no exam
pie of it that l have seen lately has
been as startling as a case / saw in
southern Illinois years ago. We were
out with a one-night-stand piece, and
after a long jump had landed in small
town very tired and very anxious for ex-
citement. The manager told US that
there would be no afternoon rehearsal,
as an Uncle Toms Cabin company had
the house for farewell matinee. This
was just what we were looking for, and
decided to attend in body. The show
preceded in the usual way up to Little
Eva's death-bed scene L see a great
light, and angels, all singing says little
Eva. Tell me what dey be singin' :,
honey says Uncle Tom. Then little Eva
descended from her deathbed and exc
cuted as lively song and dance as one
could ask for. When she had finished
ard acknowledged the. thunderous APP
rlause of the audience, she returned to
her couch and the death scene con-
tinued."
