so well that by endangering the eter-
nal happiness of Moro outlaws he
frightened them into submission. In
1902, when Mohammedan religious
fanatics were making a practice of
feigning insanity and running through
the streets numbering christians, Col
Wallace took the body of one of the
fanatics who had been killed by sol
diers and had it placed in a grave
near the market place, and after a
large crowd had gathered the colonel
ordered hog killed and had the body
of the unclean beast hung over the
grave, where the blood trickled down
upon the dead Mohammedan. This
defilement of a son of the prophet, in
the minds of the Mohammedans, con
demned the mans soul to eternal
damnation and created a panic among
the followers of Mohomet, who there
after desisted from promiscuous kill
ing.

INSURANCE MEN At
NATIONAL CAPITAL
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF IN
sURANcE COMMISSIONERS BE-
GIN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c.. Oct. 2.-What is
regarded as the most important meet.
ing in the history of the National As.
sociation of Insurance Commissioners
began today at the Arlington Hotel.
to continue until Friday. 1t is the
thirty-seventh annual meeting of the
association and the attendance in
cludes the insurance commissioners
OF nearly every state Of the union.
The Importance of the meeting is in
Dictated by the fact that the commits
sioners have decided to eliminate the
usual banquet and attendant festivi-
ties from the program and devote the
time wholly to business.
The most important work of the
meeting is to be the consideration of
a proposed uniform insurance law.
The initial step in securing the enact
ment of such a measure was taken at
a conference held in Chicago last Feb
ruary at the instance of President
Roosevelt A special committee of
this conference met in Minneapolis
last month in connection with the as
sembling of the American Bar Asso-
citation, and the bill drafted by the
committee is supposed to contain the
best thought of the lawyers and insur-
ance men Of the United States. The
measure will be acted upon by the
present convention and later intro
duced in congress. Little has yet
been made public in regard to the
measure, but it is in the form of
general law for the District of Column
bia and the territories, and is intend
ed to form a model of legislation for
enactment by the several states.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 2.-After
forty years service in the army Col
William NJ. Wallace of the Fifteenth
Cavalry was placed on the retired list
today on his own application. Born
in Wisconsin, Col Wallace began his
military career as first lieutenant of

army in 1866, as second lieutenant of
the Eighth Infantry. He served in
the infantry until December, 1870,
when he was transferred to the cav

In the days when the water cure
was creating such a Juror both in the
Philippines and in the United States
Col Wallace devised a means for
restraining murderous Mohammedans
in Jolo which was far more effective
than the cruel practices of many other
officers. He understood the religious
prejudices of the Mohammedan Moros

MILLIONA|RES IN
RACE FOR SENATE
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN RHODE
ISLAND HAS FAIRLY BEGUN.
THE RACE FOR SENATOR.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Providence, r. l., Oct 2.-Aftei
months of preliminary shrmishing,
the political campaign in Rhode
Island, whose nominal object is the
election of a United States senator to
succeed George p. Wetmore, has been
fairly opened Senator Wetmore is
busy making speeches in cities and
towns throughout the state. Colonel
Robert H. |. Goddard, nominated at a
primary convention, the first in the
history of Rhode Island, as an indie
pendent candidate for the senate, has
returned from Europe, and Colonel
Pomeroy Colt, president of the United
States Rubber Company, popularity
known as the rubber trust, is on the
scene to direct his campaign.
The contest in Rhode Island this
year nominally involves a senatorship
only with a three cornered fight in
progress between Mr.. Wetmore, who
holds the seat, Col Goddard, the can
didate of the Democrats, and their
Republican allies, and Col. Colt, the
alleged candidate of the Republican
organization of which Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich is the dominating force.
Beyond and beneath the aspirations
and ambitions of these rival candi-
dates, the campaign involves, pos
sibly, the future political status, eco
nomic policy and public morals of the
state.
The formal letter of acceptance of
Col Goddard supplies the keynote of
the campaign. 1t is generally regard
ed as a severe indictment of the Re-
publican party and its present man
agement. Mr.. Wetmore depends for
success upon the assumption that pos
session is nine points of the law. Col.
Goddard relies upon the statement
OF his letter of acceptance that the
people want to down the corrupt boss
es, strangle the autocracy and effect
tarIn reform.
Col Colt is banking on his very
keen longing to go to the senate, his
wide business connections throughout
the state, his personal popularity.
and his general idea that if the God
dard theory that the people are strug-
Cling to be free of bosses and the
protective tariff is unsound he will
be able to win over the machine

The railroads have eontended for
a long time that shortage OF cars
was responsible for the persistent and
continuous delays in freight irafhe.
A Kansas City newspaper recently
made a systematic inspection OF the
terminal railroad yards there and
found that there were 5000 empty
freight cars standing idle in the Kan
sas City yards because the railroads
have not sufficient motive power TO
move them. There are not less than
1000 loaded ears standing in the
yards there and the dates OF loading
some OF them showed that they had
been ready to move for two weeks.
There is no shortage OF cars in Kan

900 empty ears in the yards: At

about go cars.
