BURGLAR POLICIES
LOSS IN NEW YORK
One Company Drops This Sort of
Insurance, but in Metro
polls Only. /.
Journal Speoia1 Service,


New York, July 11.-Because Of the
rapidly increasing number Of burglars,
sneak thieves and pickpockets Of :. a
new class in New York, the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty company
has abandoned it's burglar insurance
business and will notify. it's patrons
that upon the expiration Of present poll
cies they will not be renewed, and that
no more insurance Of this sort will be
written in this city.
All told, the premiums paid on bur
glar insurance business in New York
now amount to considerably more than
100000 annually, and it is asserted by
officers of various companies that it is
a losing undertaking. It is expected
that several other concerns may soon
follow the course Of the Fidelity and
discontinue the burglary branch of in
surance altogether.
In making this announcement, officers
Of the Fidelity company said they
would abandon burglar insurance only
in New York city. In other cities they
as before. It is only in New York that
the business of housebreaking and
stealing has been developed to a point
where losses are, almost sure to over
balance the premiums.

Middletown, Conn, July IA
brutal murder has been brought to
light with the discovery of the body
Of George Goodale, seated in chair
in his home at Longhill. An investiga-
tion showed that Goodale had been
struck over the eye with an ak and on
top of the head with hammer, both
blows crushing the skull.
It was evident from the state of the
body and the blood that Goodale had
been dead three days or more. A non
descript dog kept watch over his dead
master and had licked the blood from
the face and hands of the man, in
efforts to awaken him. It was neces-
sary to shoot the faithful animal be-
fore the officers dared to enter the
room. Both outside doors were locked
and the horse and wagon belonging to
the dead man were missing. Neighbors
assert that $500 and watch which
Goodale was known to have few days
ago were missing. i.
Henry Bailey, a brother-in-law of
Goodale. who had been employed by
the latter for several weeks past, was
seen driving away with the team Fri
day and the officers have not yet been
able to find him.

Washington, July Thames R. Gar

believed to be slated for the remaining
place on the new Interstate commerce
commission. The failure Of the presi-
dent to announce the name Of James

sion last week is regarded here as sig
nifcant, as both these weston men were
known to have been picked for the
commission some months ago.
The work of commissioner Garfield
has been; satisfactory to the president,
and he is a warm personal friend Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. It would mean an adj
vance of $4,000 a year to Garfield. His
work in probing the. beef and oil in

1t is the purpose Of the head of the

The most discouraging struggle in

said Mr. Jackman. while it is said
that our children are learning to spell
more words than their elders did in
the days when the spelling book reigned
the hopelessness Of that task lies in
the unphonetic character Of the Ian

M. Bjornson closed with an explana-
ton Of Norway's action In choosing a
Kingdom of instead of republic. 1t
was not the tyranny of kings but the
union with Sweden that was dissolved
on June z, he explained. Had Norway
been large and rich like the United
States, SO that the people could de-
fend themselves against any foe, they
might have chosen the republican
form Of government, but being poor
and small they choosed a man for
king who would place them in diplo-.,
matte relations with England and
other European powers. Besides"
he added, they could not afford the
dissentions Of recurring presidential
campaigns"
Following the lecture Mr.. Bjornson
gave series of stereopticon views of
royal buildings in Norway, scenes
during the stirring events of last sum-
mer and pictures of the great lead
ers. Applause was given to every one
of them, but when he showed the pic
