INSURANCE. AND ALCOHOL.
Testotsiers Make the Beat Risks
Imro6erate Drinkers Not Taken

6sttN~Ae wv aNCN-
Life insurance companies know that
teetotalers make the best risks. and as
q class live longer than the moderate
drinkers as q class from 20 to so per
cent A number OF actuaries and med
ics directors have been working on
the statistics for several years, with the
result In prospect that the total alb
stainers Will soon have policies offered
70 them at a considerable reduction
from the rate which moderate drinkers
have to pay. Immoderate drinkers are
not taken at all by any Of the oompa-
mics knowingly, though some sober up
long enough TO get In and then go on
as before, the line between moderate
and immoderate drinking not being
easy to define. 1t is foreseen that per-
cons taking out policies as total alb
stainers may afterward throw those re-
straining principles overheard and
adopt more self-indulgent habits, and
an effort Will be made 20 provide q
remedy for such cases in the terms Of
contract. The official recognition by
the companies that even moderate
drinking tends to shorten life is a
good argument for the temperance soci-
cites and one with a sound statistical
basis, which cannot be said for all the
contentious they advance.

iNramrEaANcs IN PANAMA.
commissioners Adopt Stringent Rules
Against intemperarce.

Gen. Davis. In talking To the mem
oers OF the house committee, says. and
all other American officials agree with
his statement. that SO great a tendency
toward drink has manifested itself on
the part OF a goodly percentage Of the
men brought here. that many OF them
have had to be sent back home. They
sent back 80 out OF 100.
IL there is one thing upon which the
canal officials are going to insist be-
yond ali others. Il is temperanee-so-
briety--on the part OF all employees.
The necessity for this is absolute. The
health problem down here is not a par
ucularly difficult one TO men who keep
alcohol out of their systems, and the
moment Mr.. Wallace or Gen. Davis
have evidence of too great tendency
toward drink on the part OF any of the
men under them, those men receive
their walking papers. This has been
the rule up TO date, and Il is going to
be the rule as long as these men are at
the head OF affairs. Men stationed In
the tropics seem to think they can.
without harm to themselves. drink
more than they could in a temperate
or cold climate. Whether they can or
not is debatable question. That those
who come to Panama are not TO be per-
mitted much experimenting on this
line has already been demonstrated
And it has also been demonstrated that
such experiments spell fevers and
death
The temptations are by no means
small. The natives get drunk upon
every provocation, IL being about their
only amusement.
Into this atmosphere the young men
who come to take places In the differ
ent departments of the canal work are
thrown. II is the only phase of native
life they see. AS bright young col
lege man. who has been here for some
months. attached to the engineering de-
partment, said: The thing that influ-
ences so many of our men to dissipa-
ton is the absence of diversion OF any
kind. There is absolutely nothing here
nothing but the vices. Those OF us
on duty at Panama hang around our
offices at night because there is moth
Ing else 10 do; those out on the line
are denied even that pleasure There
are no theaters, no dance halls. no
clubs, and there is no home life open
TO them. II is an altogether desolate
existence. While l have never taken
a drink, can cay in all honesty that
once in a while have envied the fell
lows who do, for they seem to find a
way TO forget"
The same story on all sides. A good
3 many of the people here now are pretty
sore on IL all. Unless "A man comes for
the love Of the work and finds It his
greatest joy, in its accomplishments he
had better stay away. Before things
have progressed very much farther the
commission probably will make provI-
sion for amusement of some kind

The registers and receivers OF the

California, Colorado. Idaho, Kansas.
Montana. Nebraska. New Mexico. Ne
vada. North Dakota, Oklahoma. Ore
gon, South Dakota, Utah. Washington
and Wyoming were instructed recently
by the commissioner OF the general
land Office to notify all persons who
have heretofore entered, or who here
after enter, any OF the lands which
have been segregated under the re-
clamation act OF June II, 1902, that the
leasing OF these lands TO persons who
sell alcoholic liquors. principally to the
employees engaged on the government
works. Will be deemed sufficient cause
for the cancellation OF the entries
The officers of the land Offices are
giving the widest possible publicity to
the fact that use OF any lands with
drawn under this act, whether they
have been entered or are unentered. for
the sale OF liquor. will be prevented by
actions in eJectment. by injunction or
otherwise.
This action was taken because OF the
conditions existing in Nevada. where
the government work employs several
thousand men. Homesteaders have
leased portions of their lands To liquor
dealers. and murder and robbery have
been common in consequence. The
commissioners decision Is likely 90 cor

DENATURED ALCOHOL LAW.
President Sends Commissioner to EU-
rope to study Question.


Washington, June 4.-With view to
taking advantage of the experience OF
European nations in the administration
of laws relating to the manufacture and
sale Of denatured alcohol, the president
has directed John w. Yerkes, the COM
missioner of internal revenue, to go to
Europe and examine into the systems
in force there, preliminary to the prop
osition of departmental rules and regu-
lations controlling its use in this coun-
try under the free alcohol bill which
became law last week. Mr.. Yerkes
will leave Washington soon, and will
probably spend six or seven weeks
studying conditions and systems in
Germany, France and Great Britain.
Representative Hill Of Connecticut and
Marshall of North Dakota, both of
whom were very much interested in
this subject probably will accompany
jMr, Yerkes.

Bridgeport, June 4.--Thomas j. Mitch
ell, aged thirty-three years, conductor
in the employ of the Connecticut Rail
way and Lighting company, was prob
ably fatally injured to-llight by being
struck by an automobile in Stratford
near Washington bridge. Mitchell S

CITIZENS OF MADRID NOT LIK ~
LY TO FORGET RECENT
TRAGEDY.

Royal Wedding Festivities Being Car
rled Out---PrincIpal Event Yesterday
the Military Review at CarabancheI
Camp at Which King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria Are Present-Assas-
sin to be Buried To-day.
Madrid, June 4.--The populace of the
Spanish capital is gradually recovering
its composure, and the programme of
wedding festivities is being carried out,
although the nerve-racking tragedy Of
May 81 is likely to leave a lasting I'M
preston on the royal family as well as
on the people here.
The principal event to-day was the
military review at Carabanchel camp,
at which King Alfonso and Queen Vic
toria were present. The former, who
wore the uniform of a captain-general,
and who was mounted on handsome
bay, galloped along the lines. His es-
cort was composed of officers of all ma
tions in variegated uniforms, Lleuten-
ant u. S. Grant I'LL, the American rep
resentative, being conspicuous in the
white summer uniform Of the United
States army. The Madras regiment,
which lost several of It's officers and
privates by the bomb explosion last
Thursday, occupied the post Of honor
and was enthusiastically applauded.
About $4,000 soldiers and sailors par
ticipated in the review. The tribunes
occupied by the members of the royal
| family, the princes, ENJOYS, etc, were
gorgeously decorated.
Frederick w. Whiterldge, the Amer
| lean special envoy, and Mrs. White
ridge and their daughters, in vehicle
drawn by four y-caparisoned mules
were among those present.
The military review was followed by
musical competition this afternoon
and a gala ball tonight at the palace
of the Duchess Ferdinanz Nunez, which
was attended by the members of the
Spanish royal family and the visiting
princes and ENJOYS.
The newspapers Of Madrid are chiefly
| calling their attention to the need Of
measures for the protection of society
against anarchists, but point out tht
difficulties which even the freest coun'
tries, such as the United States ant
France, have experienced in restrain
ing the activities of this element.
| Members of the family Of Manua
Morales, the perpetrator Of the bomt
/ outrage, are expected to arrive IN Mad
rid tonight. The burial of the ASSASSIN

MAYOR THAYER REELECTED
CARRIES NORWICH ELECTION BY
GOOD MARGIN
Aside From the MayOrality Candidate
and One Democrats Alderman and
One Councilman the Republicans
Land All the Other Oflces--Latter
Will Control City Council.

Norwich, June 4.-Mayor Charles F.
Thayer, democrat, was reelected may
or to-day in the city election here by a
majority of SO votes. 1t was, from the
opening Of the polls at 9 O'Clock this
morning until their closing at o'clock
this afternoon, a spirited and hard
fought election, an unusually large vote
being polled. Aside from the election
of the democratic mayoralty candidate
and one democratic alderman and coun-
Gilman, the republicans carried all the
other offices, The following is the re-
suit of the election:
Mayor-Charles f. Thayer dem., re-
elected.
Aldermen-Frank A. Robinson, rep,
and DR.. N. B. Lewis, DEM, reelected.
Councilmen-John 7. Young, rep, and
John R. Fowler, dem, reelected; Clar-
ence D. Stebbins, rep; George Nj. Hyde,
rep.
City clerk-Arthur G. Crowell, rep,
reelected.
City treasurer-Ira L. Peck, rep, re-
elected.
The result of the election will place
the republicans in control of the city
council With the six republican mem
bers of the council who hold over from
last year, the council will stand ten re-
pubIicans and three democrats, one of
the latter being Mayor Thayer.
The reelection of Mayor Thayer is
regarded as a personal victory, this bsr
ing the fourth time he has been elected
to the Office to which ne was again
chosen to-day. The straight vote cast
by both parties was SO close that the
republicans had but one more vote than
the democrats.
In the city election of two years ago
the last time Mayor Thayer was elect
ed, he received 1,777 votes, against LII;
this year. ]. H. Allen, the candidate
against him two years ago, received
1,142, while 2. r.. Robbins, this years
republican candidate, received 1920
Much greater interest was manifested
by the republicans in this years elec'
ton.
