GERMAN INSURANCE COS
 REFUSE 10 PAY l0SSES
A Representative of San Francisco Claimants In Berlin Seeing What Can Be Done About It.

Berlin, Nov. 23.-Dr. ROsenstock. a representative of some Of the San Francisco insurance claimants. has had interviews with the president of the insurance inspection bearing on the subject of the refusal of various Ger man insurance companIes % pay their losses. The president could only prom ise to mediate between the parties be- ing unable 10 interfere with the decis- ion of the courts. One of the greatest difficulties in the case is that the pc riod under the German law in which such claims can be recovered. expires April IS, 1907, but it is absolutely inn possible to prove the five hundred claims within that time. Under the circumstances pr. RosenstOck has pro- posed that the claimants form a lia- bility company in Germany. transfer their claims to it. and begin legal pro- eeedings against the delinquent fire insurance companies.

SOCIETY 10 CHECK
 HUGE FIRE LOSSES
Building Authorities Join in Movement to Carry on a Campaign of Educa- ton. Free Advice to Cities.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Organized ef- fort on large scale to reduce fire losses is represented in the Interna- tional Society of Building Commits sioners and InsOectOrs, of this city. which has just held its third annual election and issued a report of it's progress. Free advice on the subject of fire prevention is offered ito any municipality, association or individual. having their own corporate or his per sonal interest enough at heart to ask for it."
 The society is composed of the chief officers of the building departments of the large cities. Nearly every import ant city in the country is represented as well as many cities in Europe some of the members being from England. Austria and Mexico. Its work is di- rected by the chief executive officer. F. w. Fitzpatrick, one of the best known consulting architects and au- thorities on fire prevention in the United States.
 Through the sOciety's efforts many cities have already been induced to i'm prove their building laws. The society 'S aiSo bSihS lO get nlunlclpalltleS 10 lower taxation on fireproof buildings, while placing the maximum assess ment on fire traps which are a menace and the protection of which involves big expense to every large city.
 Speaking of the aims of the society and the need for such an organization. Mir. Fitzpatrick says: Year by year We burn up actually one-haff of as much as we add. During the last month some cities have far exceeded that average. Atlanta erected S239. 335 worth of buildings in September and burned up $215.OOO in October: Buffalo built S6S9.99O and burned $3I3,OOO. Our average annual fire loss is now $2OO.- 100000; this year 1t will exceed $500 100000. The International Society of Building Commissioners and Inspect ors was formed Q carry on campaign Of education whereby the public will become thoroughly familiar with what constitutes fireproof construction and the need that exists for it."

The ex- ceptional crops raised on these lands are attracting farmers from the north. and with many square miles of these farm lands still unoccupied. the Co., lumbus board of trade is making pro- visions for new settlers.
 While the farmers must be supplied with market reports. the manufacturers of cotton here cannot do without them. on account of the large future orders they book.
 Columbus was the first city in GeOr- gia to inaugurate a movement to fur nish hourly and daily bulletins on the market. Arrangements are now being perfected to install an exchange in the board of trade building. to be ready January 1. 1907. when the anti-bucket shop bill goes into effect Atlanta has now adopted the same plan
 For a while it was rumored that the exchanges and bucket shops would fight the BOykin law. but the recent announcement that they win withdraw from the state. has put an end to such talk. The BOykin bill. which was made a law by the last general assem- ply of Georgia. caused one Of the hot test fights ever known in the Georgia legislature.

NATURES SHERLOCK HOLMES.

The sun has revealed an interesting scientific discovery which will delight the archeologists of the entire country. At Castle park. Colchester, as elsewhere the great heat of the last few weeks has considerably modified the natural greenness of the grass. But in one place there were no noticed parallel and travers bands of grass which were much browner than the surrounding verdure. Closer examination showed that the brown bands formed the ground plan of a spacious Roman villa The shallow soil over the ruined wall'' of the villa had been dried more thor oughly than the deeper soil on either side of them. and thus the sun had made a tracing of the villa for the edi- fication of scientists.-Dundee Adver- tiser.

SEEKING NEW THINGS TO GROW

An annual income of s4O,O0O.OOO on an original investment of s2.OO0 is the surprising record of the United States Department of Agriculture. says Dewey Sheldon Beebe in the Technical World Magazine for December.
 To the riddle. "Why is the Depart ment of Agriculture? ?" some scOffers have been wont to reply. Just cause. They used to ridicule the agricultural work of the government because they said there were no tangible results But the department. in its Yearbook for 1905. comes to the front with a jus, cause" for its existence. What busi- ness man in the United States. whether he fathers a trust or runs a corner drug store. can point to a profit like this. An investment of S2.OOO in 1864. now pro- duces an annual income of $4O.000, 900. yet this is one of the records of the much-maligned Agricultural Depart ment. The department introduced from China and France in 1864. com paratively small amount of sorghum at a cost of $2,O0O. Now a considerable part of the molasses consumed in the United States comes from this outlay of $2,000 and the annual value of the sorghum crop is at least $4O,0OO.OOO.
 But the astonishing work of the Ag- ricultural Department does not stop with sorghum. The branch of the de- partment's work which endeavors to find new things for the farmer to grow. and to make the United States inde- pendent of foreign countries for all Of itsscereals, has been most prolific in tangible results; and it's success in transplanting alien grains in phenom- inal. and is financially a paying propo- sitinn

Then there were calls for "Berner;

which he indOrsed Hoke Smith as
the greatest of living men, and urge
him as a coming democratic president
of this great republic.
James R. Gray, chairman Of the
platform and resolutions committee,
read the platform as adopted by the
platform committee amid the general
cheers, first for Gray and then for
features of the platform.
The first row in the convention
came on the question of the South
Carolina primary plan.
DR. Goss, of DeKalb, said if the
South Carolina plan was good for
state house officers, it was good for
all others, and he moved that it be
applied to them.
Mr.. Wright, of Richmond, opposed
this on the ground that the counties
and congressional districts should be
allowed local self-government.
Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta,
favored the motion of DR.. Goss on the
ground that if the majority rule was
good in one case it was good in all
Mr.. Underwood, of White, called for
order in the convention. There was
too much disturbance, he said
There was a long debate as to
whether the majority or the plural
ity rule should apply to counties, sen
atorial districts ana congressional dis
tricts. There was much disorder
during the discussion. Finally it was
decided to strike out of the platform
all reference to legislative congress
siOnal and county primaries, leaving
these to the respective executive com
mittees without binding them by any
action of the convention. With this
feature stricken out the platform was
then adopted as a whole by unanimous
vote
