Richmond Is the second most condensed

this time considering an ordinance to al

The result of the present confined limits
is visible in several ills. In many places
houses are being erected close together
and the walls are even being made thin

Stable lots are being turned into dwell

SAVED AFTER FIFTEEN
 DAYS OF ENTOMBMENT

(Contnued From First PageD
 By means of the pipe Hicks kept in communication with a big force of res cuers. Milk was poured down the pipe. This was the only sustenance possible to give the man for nearly two weeks. During the first two days Hicks said he had been living on a plug of to- bacco.
 He had just exhausted this when the pipe was forced into the creyice in which he was pinned.
 Every day gallons of milk were pour ed down the pipe to keep him alive. It was thought at first that his res cue would be olhy a matter of few days but as the work progressed it was seen that the task was much more difficult one than was anticipated In a narrow space under the car there was just room for Hicks to lie down. His prison did not allow of the slight est freedom of movement, and for days the man lay on his back, not daring to move for fear that he might dis turb the car overhead, and bring down upon himself an avalanche of dirt that would mean his death. Through the pipe he directed the work of rescue, guiding the course of the tunnel thel miners started toward his prison, so that it would not by some chance disturb the equilibrium of the car, which wasRll that lay between him and death.
 Before the end of the first week the stench from the decomposing bodies of those who had died in the caYe-in made his position almost unbearable.
 It was found that when the rescuers had reached within few feet of the entombed man that it would be impos- slble to reach him from above
 Another tunnel had to be started, this time directed underneath the spot where he lay so as not to risk bring ing down the great pile of earth sup ported by the ear This work requir- ed the most delicate timbering and was slow,
 Yesterday afternoon rescuer forced a small opening in the remaining wall of debris, and several men shook hands with Hicks in the tomb
 From that moment the miners worked with fiendish energy, taking the most desperate chances until finally they were able to announce that Hicks was saved.
 [ While the last steps were being talk en in his rescue, Superintendent Cone, who led the rescue, called to Hicks, and told him he was still on the pay roll lie said:
 You have been q most faithful man, Hicks; you have been on duty for ff- teen days and nights, and never asked for a day off You have been drawing pay all the time"

WORST EVER KNOWN
The Snow. Storm in Western
States Which is Still
Raging.

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
Denver, Col, Oct. 23.-The snow
storm which began last Friday night
still continues throughout eastern
Colorado. southern Wyoming, north
ern New Mexico. western Texas and
western Kansas and Nebraska. Clear
ing weather in this region today is
promised by the weather bureau. 1t
is said to be the heaviest October
snow storm here. which there is any
record of. The total snow fall in
Denver up to last night was twenty
inches and several inches have fallen
since.
The temperature continues to hover
around the. freezing mark. and thus
far but little damage has been done.
According to stock men who are in
Denver cattle on the range will not.
suffer greatly as a result Of the
storm. They are said to be in excel
lent condition and we'll able to with
stand hard storm. Fruit on the
western slope will probably suffer
considerably, as not more than half
the apple crop has been picked, owing
to lack Of help. Trains on both noun
tain and prairie roads have been
greatly delayed.

LIFE UNDERWRITERS
In Session at St. Louis With
-Four Hundred Delegates
Present.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct 23.-More than
four hundred delegates and alternatee.
representing nearly all the states, met
in the Olympic theater today at the
opening of the seventeenth annual
convention of the National Association
of Life Underwriters. Very little bus
mess was transacted on this. the open
ing day, the time being consumed with
addresses of welcome and routine
business. Owing to the exceptional
conditions existing in the life insur-
ance business at the present time
there are weighty questions to be dis
cussej by the underwriters, and be-
much that is now being thought will!
be expressed and determined.
Among life insurance men it has
been a foregone conclusion for months
that the present convention would be-
the most important in the associa-
tion's history. This is due to the al
most revolutionary changes which
have overtaken life insurance during
the present year as result of the
eastern Investigations and the pass
age Of the Armstrong law in New
York. The association is virtually
facing crisis In its history. 1t Is be-
lieved that the membership is almost
unanimously against some OF the
main features of the recent New York
legislation. but just which form the
opposition will take is problematical.
Section 81. Of the New York law will
likely receive much consideration.
This limits the commissions to be paid
agents and its enforcement means a.
reduction on the first years COM
mission of 80 per cent of all agents
in the country. Another move fore
casted is an effort to amend the con-
stitution. making 1t impossible for
any one connected with a company In
an official capacity to hold office in
the association. Supporters Of this
step argue that as the association is
composed Of active field men 1t Is
neither fair to them nor to the COM
panies to have any but active agents
In official capacities.

TO AVOID FATALITIES
Railroads to Be. Furnished
With Heavy Steel Mail
Cars.
(By K. C. SNYDER,

(By E. G. SAydef.)
Associated Press to The EveninE Times.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 23.-Thc
railway postal clerks in Washington
have drawn lesson from the recent
serious wreck on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad near Ivy, Va. in which
a train drawn by two engines and car
rying two postal cars, jumped the
track while running more than sixty
miles an hour. Although both postal
cars figured in the resultant smashup
they both came out practically intact.
and the half dozen or more postal
clerks at work came out we'll enough
to escape a place in the news list OF
the killed and injured.
The clerks point to this as justify
ing their contention that If the govern-
ment would compel the railroads to
furnish mail cars of sufficient strength
the long list of killed and wounded
railway postal clerks would be very
much cut down. They declare that
the Chesapeake & Ohio is one Of the
few roads that have cars of sufficient
strength to resist the average smash
up, and that once the government COM
pels the railroads to furnish staunch
mail cars the railway mail service will
cease to be such hazardous place for
men to work. 1t is said that in many
of the wrecks that have occurred the
amount of registered mail destroyed
would have been sufficient to have fur
nished the train with a modern steel
car. The Erie has put on one of these
cars and in recent very serious
wreck it came out practically unscath-
ed, and the postal clerks uninjured.

HARTFORD AssA|LEO
Big Insurance Company's

Hartford, Conn. Oct. e3.-Lega!
formaltties necessary to attach in the
sum of 100000 the property of the
Hartford Life Insurance Co. and the
security trust company. both incor-
porated under the laws of this state
were carried out by the sheriff yes
terday In a suit brought against those
two companies by attorneys repre-
senting about 10000 certificate holders
the country, to compel the distribu-
tion OF so-called safety fund.-" OF
the company which amounts to more
than million dollars. A receiver is
also asked for.
an accounting and to pay over to the
receiver all sums received from GER
tiftcate holders In connection with the
safety fund.-" The suit is returnable
in the superior court at New Haven
.on Nov. 6.
The Hartford Life Insurance COM
pany, which ceased active business in
1899, was organized on the stock
holding plan in 1867, but since the
former date has continued to collect
premiums on outstanding certificates
as If it were continuing business, 1T
being alleged that in 1899, the out
standing risks amounted to ninety
million dollars.
Prior to 1880, the company invented
a plan of assessment life insurance
which was designated as the safety
fund plan," by which So was COL
lected on. each $1,000 of insurance
and put into fund, the surplus of
which, when the fund reached a mil
lion dollars, was to be distributed
among the certifcate-holders.

set Of three or four thousand offices
to get down in the same way, so that
when they are on their train they can
tell the instant they see letter by
what trains and through what juno
ton points 1t must be dispatched in
order to reach its destination at the
earliest possible moment. The officials
of the postoff1ce department have
stated that all this work requires at
least two hours day throughout the
working days of the year. Thus it will
be seen that under the present system
the clerks on the Washington and
Greensboro railway postoffice are COM
PEELED to put in an average of ten
hours a day including Sundays and
holidays. If they are to have deduc-
tions for Sundays and holidays as all
other government employees have. the
average will be lis hours for each
working day in the year.
1t is significant fact that the aver
age age of retirement from the rail-
way mail service is under fifty years.
because the strenuousness of their
work wears them out before they
reach that age.
