FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES

Miles NJ. Dawson, Actuary for the
Armstrong Committe of New York,
appeared before the judiciary Committe
of Congress advocating better laws and
more protection for the fire insurance
companies Of the country. 1t is difficult
to understand what more these com-
panies need in the way OF protection
than they already have 4 any other
laws are enactc,, giving them larger
privilege" than 4bey now have, the
people could as well carry their own
insurance ard save money, with the
greatly increased rats now in force
since the repeal of the Wharton law
The companies now are supposed to
carry three fourths value Of the proper
~ insured, but when a fire occurs a
scaling estimate is generally made, law
suits are threatened on some fiinsv
technical point, and rather than 60
through long, continued law suits com
promises are effected by which the
claim is settled. often for an amount
much less than the face value OF the
policy. Agents Of these companies
state in their reports that they have
personally Inspected risks. when, in
many cases they havn't been within
miles of the pr perty insured Bad
risks are thus often taken, fires occur
and for such mismanagement people
carrying good risks are forced To pay
into the company larger premiums than
they should.
To keep up the Insurance trust
people must continue TO suffer for quite
while yet as the last Legislator,
refused TO re-enact the Wharton Law
The Insurance people through hire,
lobbyist OF otherwise made siren
uous effort to and did defeat the bill
Judge Martin Williams made BRAY,
fight for the re-enactment of tn,
Wharton Law and won out in tn,

Judge Williams deserves the thanks O
all Virginians for the fight he made
and should be returned 10 Richmon,
next time to champion the peoples
rights against the insurance trust. l

HELP WOULD DEM0RALlZE
Army Officers Oppose Giving Aid to
Copper River Indians in
Alaska
Rv Assnciated Press.

WASHINGTON Nov. 26.-Army Of
ficers who have investigated destitu-
tion among the Copper River Indians
in Alaska are of the opinion that gov
ernment assistance would injure rather
than benefit the Indians.
In the annual report of Major Gen
eral f. C. Ainsworth, the military sec
retary, which has just been made pub
lie. he includes a statement from
Captain Eli A. Halmick of the Tenth
infantry, stationed at Fort Liscum,
Alaska, recommending that the In
dams be placed under a government
agent who shall determine to what
extent relief should be afforded by the
government.
Captain Halmicl says that Govern
ment aid to the Indians encourages
them to hope for continued assist
ance that will enable them to exc out
a lazy and trifling existence"
General Ainsworth expresses the
opinion that the Alaskan Indians can
be cared for best by placing them
under the department of the interior.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Desertion
is on the increase in the army.
The annual report of the military
secretary shows that in the year ended
June 30 there were 625S desertions, or
IA for every 100 soldiers In the army.
In 1905 the rate of desertion was only
6.7 and for the three years previous
to that time the rate of desertion was
only 6.7. From 1895 to 1904 the average
of desertion was only As per cent. The
rate of desertion in 1906 was the high
est I'm the field artillery, 9.2 per cent.
The cavalry was next with rs per cent.
White soldiers showed a desertion
average of S.4 per cent, while the negro
soldiers showed an average of only 2.3
per cent. Twenty-Five per cent of the
dcsertions were made in the first three
months of the deserters enlistment.
Ninety per cent of the deserters were
of native birth and as SO per cent of
the enlisted men in 1906 were of native
birth the rate of desertion among ma
tives and foreigners was about the
same.
OF the men who deserted in 1906 S13
have been apprehended and 24O sur
rendered to the military authorities.
The total number of deserters con-
victed of desertion, sentenced to con-
fienment and dishoncrable discharge
We're 62S.
1.-The number of desertions," says
General Ainsworth, doubtless will be
decreased if the military authorities
themselves cease TO exercise the len
iency with which they have heretofore
treated deserters who have been ap-
pretended and returned to military
control"

Rough-and-Ready Measure, an An.

ST PETERSBURG. Nov. ga
novel use is being made by the
peasants of the Smara and Buzluk dis q.
tricts, In the province of Saratoff, of
an ancient privilege enjoyed by the
communes by which mass meeting of
the peasants of the commune had the
right to constitute itself a popular
court and expel thieving, besotted,
shifeless, dissolute or otherwise excep-
tionally obnoxious persons from the
commune into the hands of the police,
who sent them In exile to Siberia.
This rough-and-ready measure was
at one time resorted to i'm extreme
cases only, the total of such expulsions
not averaging more than a few hun
dred q year, but latterly the custom
has fallen into disuse.
In Saratoff, however, the peasants
of several dozen villages are now act
ing In unison and are using this wea-
pom to fight the revolutionists.
They have begun by adopting blank
letters of expulsion and threaten 20
enter the name thereon of all agita-
tors and their supporters.
In these same districts the houses of
several agitators have been burned
and it is reported that the peasants
have appealed to the administration
officials Of their districts for permission
TO reinstate the old system of corporeal
punishment for the correction of minor
offenses.
AS a result of these proceedings the
revolutionary agitation in Saratoff
province is becoming more and more
