 Senator Joseph w Bailey, of Tex as. is here, and he is so much disgust ed and moved by the Bryan utterances relative to public ownership that he refuses to be quoted.

POLlCYHoLDERS IN TRADERS SAY EVERY OBJECTION PoSSl. BILE IS MADE TO PAYING CLAIMS IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Chicago, October 2I-Expressions of dis content with the management of the es- tate of the Traders Insurance company by the receiver appointed some months ago are contained in an intervening peti- tion filed in the Cook county circuit court today in behalf of 200 nonresident policy holders, whose claims against the de- funct company represent nearly $2,O00 000.

 The court Is told that before its failure the insurance company carried on bus mess in California and that it is. there- fore governed by the laws of that state. which direct that stockholders in such corporation be made liable for losses to tho extent of their stock subscriptions. The complalnants ask that the court enter an order fixing time for the filing of claims against the company, and that all assets of the Traders Insurance com pany be collected by the receiver, re- duced to cash and distributed among all the creditors.

CULBERSON HITS
 HARD AT DOCTRINE
THINKS GOVERNMENT OWNER SHIP OF RAILROADS IS THE "ES- sENcE OF SOCIALISM" AND IS AGGRAVATED PATERNALlsM."

Dallas, Tex, October 24.-At a banquet given tonight rendered by the citizens of Dallas to the next Texas legislature, United States Senator Culberson made the first pronounced public utterance heard in this state against government ownership of railroads since Mir Bryan proposed the scheme two months ago.
 The cheering throughout his remarks was general, amounting to demonstra- ton. Declaring at the outset that the future of the democratic party depends upon its adherence to its fundamental principles, and especially opposition to paternallsm and centralizatlon, he said that great as has been the offenses of the republican party, any single proposi- tlon in it's history Is as naught compared with the policy of government ownership and operation of all railroads Senator Culberson declared this principle was first announced In the platform of the popullst party and declared that the measure n- volved the most advanced and aggra- vated form of paternalism ever offered under free government, unless perhaps it's companion populistic measure, the sub treasury.
 Senator Culberson declared that the doc Urine if applied would eventually lead to government ownership of every business susceptible of monopoly. He character ized 1t as the "essence of socialism
 Senator Bailey in responding to the last toast, spoke of railroad regulation" de- nouncing government ownership, and de- claring the people could and would reg ulate the railroads.

WHISKY MEN ALARMED
 BY DIR. WILEYS RULING

Louisville, October 24.-Intense interest has been aroused in local whisky circles by the views on the rules of the pure food commission, relative to the definition of like substances" expressed by Dr. H.. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart ment of agriculture, and a member of the pure food commission which promulgated the rules regulating the labelling of whis- kies. The opinion of Dr. Wiley, as ex- pressed in telegram, is as follows:
 "The mixing of two whisl1ies would be a blend, but mixing whisky with neu- tral spirits would not be blended whis- ky, but might be a blend of distilled spirits. If rye whisky is one of the con- stituents of a compound or mixture, the mixture cannot be labeled rye whisky
 It is said the effect of the enforcement of the rules in accordance with pr. Wiley's opinion would mean hard blow to the rectifying interests, and it is point ed out that at present prices for whisky the change in the rules would mean diff ference of 36 cents a gallon to the recti- fers. The reetfiers and blenders maintain that ethyl alcohol, or neutral spirits, is the basis of all whisky, and is the pure product, when the poisonous oils con

tained in new whisky have been eliminat- ed through age or by the process of re- lining. This view, however, is not held by the straight whisky interests, who argue that when a person buys spirits it is so stipulated, and when a person buys whis- ky it is also so stipulated, and that the spirits. in accordance with the law, should be labeled spirits and whisky and that in the event of a blend of the two the words whisky and spirits should be printed on the label
