HINTS At WIDER
INSURANCE PROBE.
Continued From First Page.

The funds of insurance companies
should sacredly be safeguarded for the
policyholders by the state and every
element Of personal gain eliminated
from their management. To accom-
plish this result it has been suggested
that large amounts ought, for the safe
ty of the insured, as well as for the
good Of the community, to be invested
in bonds covered by mortgages on real
deposits with or loans to moneyed cor
porations should be subject to suitable
restrictions; that the control of SUBJ
sidiary companies should not be per-
mitted; that insurance directors should
have no conflicting business connec-
tons; that investments in corporate
bonds should be regulated SO as to pre-.
tempt to float doubtful enterprises; that
policies should be of standard forms
50 that the abuses arising from ambigu-
ity, .complexity and incompleteness of
the contract may be eradicated and the
contract made definite in form and SUBJ
stance; that a uniform system of audits
and accounts should be prescribed by
the insurance department; that full

SHOT DOWN WITHOUT TRIAL
Revolutionists Executed While Russ
Governor Of Moscow Looked On.


Moscow, JAM 3.-According to stories
in circulation, the number Of summary
executions of revolutionists is large.

were accidentally burned yesterday,
says he personally witnessed number
Of executions. When the drujnia Grew

tory surrendered, the officer command
ing the regular troops, after few brief
questions, picked out the victims, who
a firing squad, received a volley and
dropped without struggle. Mr.. Smith
even says he recognized Governor Gen
eral Doubassoff among the present. It
is generally stated that the victims
were handed over to a firing squad with
the command, "Take them to the
river" which was tantamount to a SEN
tence and warrant for their execution.
The clearing of the Riazan line as
far as Lubertzi, which fell principally
on the Semionovski regiment, was; at
tended by much bloodshed. At every
station troops dispersed the crowds by
firing volleys. Three. leaders--Orloff-
sky, Seminosky and Andrewief-
captured and shot, and more than 800
persons are reported to have been killed
or wounded.
A newspaper report states that many
druinists were placed in collins and

N Rochester, Mich, Jan. 3.----Four
dead bodies, three of them terribly
mutilated, tell the story Of a tragedy
Yesterday They were discovered by
neighbors, who, alarmed by the desert
ed appearance of the home, broke into
the place.
They found Barnum, his wife, his
daughter Louise, aged % years, and
his son Chester, aged l6 years, all lying
|: dead |a.. .I[
The wife and son and daughter had
apparently been murdered with an ak.
A single barreled shotgun, lying near
his corpse, and the, fact that his head
was almost entirely blown off, showed
how Farmer Barnum himself had met
his end. Mrs. Barnnm' s body lay in
the woodshed. .
Terrible Struggle with Maniac.
1t appeared that she had been able
to resist the murderer for a brief time,
or, at any rate, had succeeded in elud-
ing him long enough to reach the shed.
But here she was struck down and met
the same fate that had befallen her
son and daughter.

Murderer Kills Himself.
Under the dining-room table lay the
fathers body, gun across his knee.
Apparently he had pushed the muzzle
into his mouth before pulling the trig-
ger. Three extra cartridges stood on
the sideboard. as if in readiness to

might succeed in escaping the murder

Of the, ak, but the blade had been
washed.
In the dining room, where the body
of the father was found. lay also that
of the daughter. The son s corpse was
in the kitchen.
It is thought that the boy was the
first attacked, that the mother was
killed in the woodshed next, and that
the father turned last to the daughter,
imprisoned in the dining room, where
the disturbance had apparently begun.
The wife and son and daughter all
had their heads terribly cut and crushed
with the ak.

Food Scandal i'm England

Stirred To activity by the packers
scandal In this country, England has
been investigating her victualing de-
partment, with results quite as startl-
ing. This may not give us any great
degree of comfort, but there will be a
grim sort of satisfaction In knowing
that there are others. A London
sanitary inspector says that some Of
the "tinned" meat products are UNI
speakably unfit for consumption. Cne
firm. he charges, put out as potted
chicken and tongue melange COM
posed of ancient timed meats OF
various kinds in all kinds of decom-
position, which had been worked over
with other materials in circumstances
"too loathsome to detail" Enormous
quantities of deceased meat are
brought into London, It is charged,
and sold to the poor. Scraps OF the
vilest character are made up into
sausages.
The horror, however, is not confined
to the meat industry. Jam, which
every loyal Britisher dotes on, is said
To be vile concocti0n, and long past
due eggs are habitually used in the
manufacture of confectionS. The col
onies, too, send their contributions of
things not tit to cat. Canned fruits
and vegetables are doctored to make
them keep better and the meats are
often spoiled.
With a scandal at home, England is
not apt to regard quite so critically
the stories that come from this side Of
the water. Built may be said to Eng
lands credit that she is not accepting
her scandal as matter of course.
Health officers and inspectors are be-
ing given more authority to enforce
the laws and new laws where needed
will be enacted.

The Worst Yet.

"Is this the best wurst you can send
me?" asked the lady who walked into
the meat store with package OF that
edible IN her hand.
Madam" answered the meat man,
"it is the best wurst we have
"Well, it is the worst wurst eyer
saw"
81 am sorry to hear that. The best
] can do is 10 try to send you some
better wurst from today's lot. but, as
have said, that is the best wurst we
have at present. am sure, however,
that the Burst we are now making
will not be any worse than this, aud il
ought TO be better / assure you that
as soon as get the wurst you shall
have the best Of it. We never gave
anyone the worst Of IL so long as we
have been in the wurst business, and
you may be sure that when we give
you your wurst it will be the best, for
our worst wurst is better wurst than
the hest wurst of our competitors. F"
But the lady whose eyes had taken
on stare Of glassiness was seen TO
throw up her hands and flee from the
place for she was afraid the worst was
yet TO come.

Wrong Side of the Door.

At the commencement exercises OF
one of our large colleges prominent
lawyer had been asked to address the
graduates. Being very busy about
that time, he neglected to give any
thought to the subject Of his dis
course. On arriving at the hall where
the exercises were held he was still at
a loss for a topic. In passing through
a large swing door which led into the
hall itself the word ''Push" painted
on the door happened to catch his eye.
Like flash it occurred to him that
here was text that he could use very
appropriately. When his turn came
to speak he arose and addressed the
audience in somewhat the following
manner.
"Young gentlemen the subject Of
my little talk with you this morning
can be expressed in one short word; it
is thing that is especially applicable
to you young men, who, in one line or
another, are going out into life to
make your way. 1t is thing without
which no man is sure OF attaining sue

deafening, and 1t was some time before

If you know of an item or piece OF
news, tell us about it. That's what
we want. But a newspaper man some
times experiences more difficulty IN
gathering news than one would imag--
inc. This was the case when IA re-

few days ago was sent to write up a
fire In a residence. Going to The door
he inquired for the lady OF the house.
The maid said she was out. "Are any

scribe. mo. they are all OUT" was
the reply. "Well, wasn't there fire
here last EVENING" "Yes," said the
hired girl, "but that's out too. J."

Beans and Dollar Bills

Half dozen schoolboys were passing
grocery store, one day, when their
attention was attracted by barrel of
beans standing near the door. One Of
them asked the Others if they could
guess how many beans Of that kiud IL
would take to make a bushel.
Various estimates were made, all the
way from 5000 10 $4,000, the boy who
guessed 200 being laughed at by his
companions. 10 decide the matter
they agreed to tsk the grocer.
"Well, boys," he said, ''you are all
away off. Let me show YOU"
And he went out aud brought in a
lot of the beans and began laying
them, two or three at time, in the
pan Of the scales. 1t waa found that
1t took sixty beans, taken at random,
TO weigh an ounce, and the boys then
penciled out calculation showing
that it required, approximately, 49,
900 to make buShel.
"Now, then" said the grocer, "l'll
ask you, boys one; How many dollar
bills will it take TO weigh as much as
silver dOllar?"
None of the boys guessed less than
seventy fl se at which the grocer smil-
ed and thea, putting down silver
dollar in one pan of his scales, he be-
gan laying dollar bills in the other.
When he had laid down twenty-five

scare the other night through the GUS
tom OF northern Michigan towns to
adopt cast off sirens as fire whistles.
The tug Martin came into port just as
the shades Of night were falling and
blew terrible blast on its demoniacal
whistle. The sound of the siren rous-
ed the entire city. Clerks left their
cOuptors, butchers their blocks and
the city policeman rushed madly to-
ward the engine house to stem the
panic. They all thought it sure must
be a great fire that would call forth
such an alarm, but it was only the
