Conclusions Reached by In

ing Insurance Companies.

indianapolis, Oct pa special COM
mission appointed by the governor. which
has been investigating the office of the
state auditor for year, with special ref
ence TO mutual and stock life insurance
companies. today submitted it's report to
Governor Hanly. The general conclusions
of the committee are that the "cost of
life insurance to the public is too high
The present maximum premium rates for
insurance are so much Ia excess of needs
as to permit of extravagant management
of companies. theft of their funds, divis-
ion of profits and other great abuses
without rendering the companies insoI-
vent. Indiana'S So companies, like many
companies of other states, have been
guilty of eXtravagances and abuses
though they have maintained solvency."

EXPERT TARIFF T|AKERS
Secretary Root Will Send Two Men
to Germany to Consult With
Customs Officials.

Berlin, Oct. 22.-The announcement that
Secretary Root has decided to appoint
two tariff experts to visit Germany and
consult with German custom officials
and boards of trade for the purpose of
obtaining material for possible modifica-
tons of the administrative features of
the American tariff laws, which have
been the subject of much complaint on
the part of German exporting interests,
was received in the foreign office here in
the most favorable spirit. The fact is
that the group of officials at the foreign
office dealing with the subject of the
proposed new commercial arrangement
between Germany and the United States
did not know precisely what steps to
take next in reopening the question,
which, in its normal course, must be set
tied by June 30 next. 1t is believed here
that Secretary Roots decision is likely to
contribute greatly to an ultimate under
standing on the subject

 TELL THE STORY
MANAGER FRANK WILL BE RE- CURED TO DEFEND A SUIT BY JORDAN FOR FALSE IMPRlsoN- MENT.

Memphis, June 1S.--(Speeial.)- )-Members of the Atlanta Baseball team who ar rived here today from New Orleans after an engagement of four games, report ex- citing experiences in the Crescent City and according to statements of Business Manager Etherldge and Playing Manager Billy Smith the end has not yet been reached to sensational incidents which followed the arrest of Captain Jordan for alleged appropriation of the so-called rubber ball which caused Umpire Ken nedy to forfeit Fridays contest to the New Orleans team.
 Manager Smith says the Atlanta asso- clation has decided to take action in the case of Jordan. which will arise in the New Orleans courts and Manager Frank will be called upon to defend suit for false imprisonment and defamation of character, this suit to be based on the alleged manner in which. the Atlanta cap tain was handled after last weeks incl dents Captain Jordan declares that he was placed behind the bars at a police precinct. He says that he did not re- fuse to turn the ball over to the police and he was eventually turned loose after the police themselves permitted Secretary Etheridge and Captain Jordan to inscribe their signatures on the suspected rubber ball. so that 1t could be identified in court.
 Amusing incidents are told of the game by the Atlanta players who relate how O'Briens home run described as an or dinary single, bounding in front of Cen terfielder Stnson with one bound stretch ed itself into home run into the bleach- CTS back of the center field.
