LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FIRE INSURANCE CONDITIONS.
correspondent Says New York Exchange Is
Practically Trust.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The life insurance situation In this state mas
oeen thoroughly gone over in a recent inquisidon
trder the direction of Charles E. Hughes, but as
yet nothing has been done concerning the oondi-
uons Of fire insurance. which have been for
some time most rotten The situation is
about thus: All admitted companies companies
licensed by New York State) have banded together,
under the title of the New York FIre Insurance
Exchange" and have caused rates to be made
from which company may deviate; these rates
must be paid If insurer wishes indemnity against
flre loss since the New York State statutes pre-
vent the insurer from seeking similar protection
many that are perfectly responsible), unsss II Is
impossible 10 procure the same In regularly adj
mitted concerns. For instance, manufactures
mL!o requires insurance on property on which this
exchange" has placed rate OF per cent must
pay this per cent. and competition is barred by
tle statute referred to, since every company doing
business here is a member Of this exchange.
Inc law requires that a shall first endeavor
70 get the admitted companies TO insure him. and,
that he cannot procure such insurance.; then he Is
permitted TO go outside of the regular admitted
companies to procure it, Under the statute the
him. and he has no relief. 1t seems, in these days
OF antitrust agitation, that something in the line
OF correction of existing; evils might be looked upon
fects.
Since the recent San Francisco confagration the
@ @Ieen increased very materially. for the presumed
idea Of paying these heavy losses, but, upon good
auIhHorlty, we are advised that many of the COM
panles are offering percentage settlements TO the
r fTlsco sufferers, instead of paying in full.
A bit Of agitation will no doubt help conditions
from which all alike are present suffering for
every man. from the little househoider TO the ex-
tensive manufacturing operator is affected by It,
An An exannation into the condition of affairs would
laws show one IN this business. r. s.

MYSTERY OF MISSING NECKLACE,

sidine-Found, Says John.

whether or not the necklace Of diamonds re-
ported to have been stolen from the neck of Mrs
george Considine as she sat at her marriage sup
per at Martins Sunday evening has been recovered
remains something of a mystery The loss was
not discovered until bride and bridegroom had de-
scended from the dining room and were about to
enter thelr cab. A thorough search of the dining
room and employees was then made, but nothing
was round George Considine told Mr.. Martin in
one Of the guests. " -
AS the necklace brand new a marriage
present from the bridegroom the clasp could not
nave oeen broken easily. and 1t is thought at the

ths demonstrations of affection indulged in be-
tween bride and guests
The joke theory was borne out yesterday by John
Considine, brother Of the bridegroom who said the
necklace had been found that morning in the
brides dress. Nothing further has been heard
about 1t at Martins, hut at the Tenderoin police

THE TWO CANDIDATES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The Saratoga nomination is the strongest
that could possibly have been made. The work of
MI Hughes as investigator of ell dishonest com
binat1ons has been thorough in this state. Mr.
Hughes is not controlled by any other person than
himself If elected he will give the people splen-
did administration.
The candidate Of the "so-called Democrats VIII
meet with defeat. He is vacillating in his actions
which meet with distrust from all honorable men,
AT one time he pictures Murphy feon, then
accepts his services. At another time he pictures
Hughes as trust buster; then, after his nomina-
ton by the Republicans. he pictures him as a fol-
lower OF Thomas F. Ryan.
This politician, in his bought-up Independence
League Convention. is nominated and declares
own endeavors.
He condemns the political nisdeeds OF TaInmany
Hail. yet he aided their organization in the Mayor
atty contest in 1903 with his newspapers, and now
accepts the nomination at their hands, He
also allows the unseating Of opposing delegates,
such as John n. Carlisle and Joseph Bermel. Such
a turneoat is not O. proper Governor for the citt-
zens of this state. Yours truly.

the Edltor OF ME Tribune,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: am In entire accord with Mayor Mcclellan
in his determination not TO vote for Mr.. Hearst.
Furthermore do not think that Mr. Hearst was
the real choice Of the alleged Democratic conven-
ton that nominated him at Buffalo. There is no
question of regularity with me, when the alleged
Democratic party places IN nomination improper
person for the exalted Office of Governor OF the
Empire State who. in my judgment. does not rep
resent the views Of the Democratic party. He can
not even represent the Independence League when
he betrays IL TO beg for the Democratic nomination,
Can such q person be trusted with the destntes of
this great state? DIR. W. J. STEWART.
