secret and it remains only for the wo-
man who can resist the flower but not
the perfume to deposit the required sum

Watch the Los Angeles yender Of VIC

about him to see that no prospective
customer is near enough to take cogniz-

SEEKS CONTROL
 0f INSURANCE Governing Board of Every Town and City in Massachusetts Asked to Lend a Hand
FIRE INSURANCE THE TARGET
State Convention May Be Called to Combat the Alleged Fire
 Insurance Trust.

Holyoke, Mass, Sept 19.-A special committee of the Holyoke board of aldermen is sending out communica- tions to-day to the governing body of every city and town in the common wealth in. connection with a plan looking to the establishment of the municipal fire insurance. The matter being sent out includes the report Of local Investigating committee on the subject and letter asking whether the cities and towns will send representatives to a general con- vention to be called in the later part or October to discuss the question.
 The report of the Investigating committee, made to the board of al- dermen at meeting last night, stat ed that the only effective way to fight the so-called insurance trust was through competition. While state insurance might be preferable, 1t could be secured only by an amend ment to the state constitution, which would entail so many complications that the municipal plan was deemed preferable. This report, together with the committees recommendation that steps be taken to call state conven- ton, were unanimously adopted, and a committee appointed to carry out the project began its work to-day.

 It was said to-day that the man drowned in Middletown yesterday was vincenzo Orlando of Union street, but there must be some mis- take about this. Mir Orlando was in Middletown since he left here, but the description of the dead man does not warrant the belief that 1t was Orlando.
 Mrs Lena O'Donnell Hart, wife of Daniel P. Hart. of New York city, died in private hospital there Mon- day morning. Mrs Hart formerly lived here and was employed by the Waterbury Clock company for some time. Her age was about 24 and her death followed an operation for ap- pendicitis. Her marriage took place last August in Norwalk. Among her survivors are a sister, Mrs NJ. F. Ca- hill. of Waterbury.
 The tenants on the Frost property, recently purchased for hospital pur- poses by Father Slocum. are com to look around for new quarters. Already Thomas F.

NEW TRUST IN SIGHT
Wood Fibre Papers Have Been h. creased in PTice About $ a
 Ton
OLD SCHEDULES ABOLISHED

Chicago. Sept 19.-A blanket in- crease of $5 ton in the price of wrapping and other grades of wood fibre papers. with corresponding ad- vance in other classes, has raised the fear among Chicago dealers that a new trust Is forming. This fear Is augmented by the fact that the notices ab0lishing former schedules were withdrawn by all the mills si- multaneously. and the prices listed thus far have been identical.
 While 1t Is believed a new combi- nation of paper manufacturers has been or is being formed. 1t is not thought 1t will be so complete as that effected under the General Paper company. This concern, which was known as the trust, went out of business last May as the result of an injunction suit brought at St Paul, Minn, by the federal government. The company refused to show its books, and when ordered to do so by the court agreed to accept judgment and go out of business.
 The theory of the Chicago paper brokers Is that this error will not be made second time, and that not one firm will be allowed to handle the output of all the mills in the com bine. It is pointed out that practi- cally the same result can be obtained by an association if the members ad- here to the agreement.

CAPTAIN GONE WRONG.
Ira L. Fredenall Charged With Mis-
 appropriation of Funds.

Manila. Sept 19.-Captain Ira l.. Fredenall of quartermasters' depart ment was charged in the court of first instance in this city this afternoon of misappr0priation of public funds.
 The filing of these charges is the cul- imitation of extensive investigations by the irsular authorities into an d. legged series of frauds perpetrated by members of the quartermasters de- partment in the Philippines. The in quiry resulted in the discovery of pad ded pay rolls in quartermasters' shop and grating in the lease of lighters. Both officers and civilians are implicated and court martials will follow the court proceedings.
 Major General Wood continued the inquiry originally begun by Major General Corbin. The result of the in vestigation has been great saving fin transportation funds and decrease in graft, such as the manufacture of furniture, etc, in the shops for the pri- vate use of officers and civilians
 High officials in the army and gov ernment are said to have been the ben eficiaries.

TAFT CREETS PALMA
American Secretary of War and His Party Landed on Caban Soil
 This Morning
HEARING TO BEGIN AT ONCE

Havana. Sept 19.-The American cruiser Des Moines, with Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon on board, entered Ha- vana harbor at z o'clock this morn ing. The cruiser came from Florida at the moderate speed of eleven knots Tn order not to arrive here before daylight.
 All on board are we'll. The sec retaries had breakfast early, and at S:3O the captain of the port con- veyed Senor O'Farrill, the Cuban sec retary of state; MT Sleeper, the American charge, and the represen- tative of the Associated Press on board. At the same hour Comman- der Colwell came over from the cruiser Denver.
 Messrs Taft and Bacon had long, informal and private conference with 'Senor O'Farrill. Afterwards they talked with Commander Colwell and others. Secretary Taft said he had arranged tentatively to hold hearings at the home of American Minister Morgan in Mariango, but that no definite arrangements would be made until the formalities of to-day were over.
 Just before 10 o'clock the entire party landed and proceeded to the palace, where Minister Morgan pre- sented Messrs Taft and Bacon to President Palma.
