TROY, n. Y. January 4.-Former Gov
ernor Frank S. Black. it was announced
upon undisputed authority to-day. has
consented to take the State craftsmanship
of the Republican party for the sake of
harmony. This action was suggested by
President Roosevelt upon the occasion
of Mr.. Blacks visit at the White House
two weeks ago, but at the time Mr. Black
declined TO consider the honor. having in
mind even greater honors which the
Legislature might soon extend in the
way of United States senatorship. or
which the people might confer In 1908 in
the line of a nomination for the presi-
dency. In declining the Presidents re-
quest Mr.. Black was of the opinion that
as State chairman he would be unable to
hold aloof from petty factional disputes,
and that his chances for something be-
yond the State craftsmanship would be
materially impaired
The recent visit of former Governor B.
B. Odell to this city, however, has given
Il new phase to the matter. Mr.. Odell
assured Mr.. Black that he stood ready
i to step aside as State chairman, and was
willing to support him for that position.
Even this perhaps would not have in
duced Mr.. Black to become candidate
for the craftsmanship had he not received
recent assurance from President Roose-
velt, 1t is said, that the President will
positively refuse to become candidate
for the presidency in 1905 and that Mr..
Black will be favored for the nomina-
tion. The President Is quoted as saying
that he considers Mr.. Black the most
available man for the greatest position
the American people have to offer.

Speaks of the Late B. B. Minor
ard Major Myers-Joseph
Bryan President.

The Virginia Historical Society held its
annual meeting last night in the public
hall of the Y. NJ. C. A, to which the
public was invited.
An audience of perhaps 400 OF the most
cultured and thoughtful men and women
of Richmond heard two excellent adj
dresses delivered by Colonel w. Gordon
McCabe, retiring president of the So
ciety. and DR.. Williarx Peterfield Trent,
distinguished yirginian, who now fills
chair in COLUMBIA University, New York.
Colonel McCabe'sl address was prac-
tical for the most part, for in 1t. he re-
viewed the work OF the society for the
rast year, showing the increase OF mem-
bership, the continued improvement of
pecuniary affairs, the general scope OF
the magazine work accomplished and the
various bequests of literary and his
torical nature that had been made the
society.
In speaking OF the members who had
passed away since the last annual meet
ing. Colonel McCabe paid brief tribute
to the late B. B. Minor, for several years
the editor of the Southern Literary Mes
scnger. and Oldest member OF the SO
ciety.
Tender Tribute to Lee.
His illusions to the late Major r. T. D.

spoke of his old comrade in arms, Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, there were not few
in the audience whose eyes were as moist
as those OF the speaker. Colonel McCabe
said in part:
"Arajor-General Fitzhugh Lee, was in
every relation of life. public and private.
worthy of the noble stock from which he
sprung. Whether in field or forum,
whether as the dashing beau
sabreur of the thrice glorious Army OF
Northern Virginia" or as Governor of this

square to all the winds that blew" and
having endeared himself to North and
South alike by his SPLENDID courage, de-
cisive vigor and lovable personality, died

FRANK GRAINS PARENTS
ARE DOUBLY AFFLICTED

For nearly two years the aged parents
of Frank 0. Grain, who was killed by
Alexander McEwan in a resort at 217
Eleventh avenue S, searched the north
west for him and the first information
they We're able to obtain was the ac-
count of his death amid surroundings
greatly at variance with those of his
earlier life.
The broken-hearted father and moth
er met the body Of the murdered man
in Grand Rapids, Wis, last night and
made arrangements for the funeral
Grain s parents have lived on farm
near Grand Rapids for many years and
are highly respected. About two years
ago the son disappeared. He left no
word, and the father spent much time
and money in trying to find him, for
both parents regarded him with par
ticular favor. Grain came to Minneap-
oils and at once took up his residence
in the lower part of the city. In the
meantime, kilograms and letters were
sent to all the towns in the northwest
but no word ever went back to the
aged parents until the press carried
them the news of his murder.
The funeral service was held today
in Grand Rapids.

PRESIDENT SCOQEL
TALKS INSURANCE
TWIN CITY UNDERWRITERS SIG
NALLY HoNoRED.
Head Of National Association Discusses
Recent Troubles Of Big Companies
and Resultant Legislation as En-
bodied in Armstrong and Ames Laws
Pleads for Small Companies.

The St. Paul and Minneapolis life
underwriters gave a dinner in Donald
son IS Japanese room last night in honor
of Charles w. Scovel Of Pittsburg, pres
ident of the national association. Pres
ident Van Slyke Of the Minneapolis
underwriters presided, and after tSe
dinner introduced Mr.. Scovel, who made
an extended, tho informal, address on
the life insurance situation as 1t ap-
pears up to date.
Mr.. Scovel especially dwelt upon the
work of the Armstrong committee and
of the conference Of governors and in
surance commissioners. While giving
the Armstrong committee a great deal
of credit for it's Investigations, he did
not have so high an opinion of it's
legislation. The attitude of that legis-
lation he contrasted with the Ames bill
for the District of Columbia, which
was drawn on the lines suggested by
the conference in which Governor John
son and Commissioner O'Brien of Min
nesota took leading part. The Ames
bill, he said, avoids the new heresy Of
declaring that new insurants must, in
their first year, pay for themselves
and their share of the general expense
of the year. This provision of the
Armstrong bill he considered to be pu-
nitive upon the local companies which
had abused the preliminary term in
surance by multiplying expenses. He
believed that the cure Of the abuse of
the frst-year privilege lay not in an
Initiating it, but in full publicity Of
the finances of the companies which
! would show the use Of the first year Is
premiums and all other years as well
separately.
He believed a cross section Of the
| operations of each insurance company
could be made which would. analyze
all it's operations. This sort Of public
ity would throw more safeguards about
the business than legal prohibitions
such as would stand in the way Of the
formation of new companies. Mr.. SEQ
vel made a plea for new small compa,
mes, arguing that II there had, been
the country instead Of the business be-
ing massed in few far-off corpora
tions, the insurance scare of. the last
two years would have been impossible
the delegates of the association hac
been admitted on an equal footing tx
the conference of governors, and sale
the present and future work Of the
association was to try to mold the leg
islation which will certainly come out
of the New York troubles. He init
mated that the association would worl
along the lines Of the Ames bill rathe:
