CLEVELAND WRITES
 INSURANCE BRIEF Submits Views to Association Life Insurance Presidents ON INVESTMENT LAW Threatened Legislation Which Would Force Companies to Invest
 Funds In Stock in Propor-

ON INVESTMENT LAW

New York. March 5.-Announcement was made today that Grover Cleveland has submitted a brief to the Association of Lile Insurance presidents. of which he is the head, in reference to certain threatened legislation which would force them to invest their funds in the va rious states in proportion to the volume of business transacted in those states. In his brief MT. Cleveland says:
 1t seems to be quite apparent that if the best legislative results are 10 be reached by safeguarding all the inter ests in any way related to life insur- anee. and by subserving the peoples in- terests in the premises by the passage of wholesome laws, those who make our laws should be free from all vindictive feeling and misleading prejudices and duly guarded against dangerous disre- gard Of safe and conservative business rules.

REUF HIDES WHILE
 SHERIFF SEARCHES Political Boss of San Francisco
 Tried for Extortion SECURED WRIT OF ERROR When His Case Came Up Monday and .s 3sle Did Not Appear in court--As-
 sistsnt District Attorney -~s
 Henri Hot After Him.
SECURED WRIT OF ERROR

San Francisco, March 5.-Abraham Reuf. the local political leader, who yes- terday secured writ of error from Su- perior Judge Hebbard, did not appear be- fore Superior Judge Dunne today for trial on the indictments for alleged eXtortlon returned by the grand jury. Reuf and his attorneys considered that the action of Judge Hebbard acted as bar to further proceedings before Judge Dunne on the ground following the granting of the writ steps had been taken to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States The federal appeal was based on the plea that Reuf had been deprived of his con- stitutional rights.
 When court opened this morning, As, sistant District Attorney Henri announced that the prosecution was prepared to pro- ceed with the trial of Reuf. This was the day set for the trial, but the defendant was not present. The court directed the bailiff to call Reuf at the door One or the defendants attorneys arose to call the at tention of the court to the action of Judge Hebbard, but Henri objected to any action in the absence of the defendant. The bailiff then reported that Reuf had failed to respond.
 The court without comment directed lne clerk to issue a warrant to take the de- fendant into custody. Reufs counsel pro- tested vigorously, saying: q think, your honor, that such action might bring you in contempt of the supreme court of the United States
 The court quietly replied that he did not need instructions, and was not con cerned with what other tribunals might do The attorney, however, persisted in outlininc the transactions elsewhere in Reuf's behalf and Judge Dunne said
 q am going to proceed with this trial until the supreme court of this state or the United States court of appeals com mands me to desist
 A recess lof an hour was then taken to hermit the sheriff to apprehend the de- fendant.
 Ifnon reeonvening the deputy reported that his search had been fruitless. This brought Henri to his feet with the declar- ation. 'If your honor will appoint MT Burns Ca detectiYe) as an eiisor, Will guarantee to have the defendant in court at o'clock; in fact, will have nim here in half an hour
 The court responded that he would give the sheriff until o'clock to find Reuf. At 9 o'clock Sheriff ONea1 reported that he and his deputies had gone to the defend- ants office but were unable to find any trace of him. Judge Dunne ordered an adjournment to 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing to give the sheriff time to find the missing defendant.
 Detective Burns, who is assisting the prosecution, said he was certain that Reuf had not left the city, but had been In secret consultation with one of his counsel during the time the deputies were search inc for him. From information brought to him Burns was confident that Reuf had secreted himself in a room attached to q restaurant An assistant of Burns kent watch on the place tonight.

URGES CHANNEL FROM

Says Chance Offered by Opening Of

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-John Barrett,
director general of the international
bureau of American republics, is In
Chicago gathering data and statistics
to show the need of a deep water way
getween the Gulf of Mexico and the
great lakes and the effect of such
channel upon the commercial develop
ment of the middle west. He will pre-
sent the facts and figures that he

next congress.
He has been in conference with some
of the men interested in the deep
water way convention which will be
held in Memphis the first week in Oc-
tober President Roosevelt will ad-
dress this gathering, and is expected to
discuss Mr.. Barretts idea that 1t viii
be useless to dig the Panama canal
without also preparing the Mississippi
valley to take direct commercial ad-
vantage of 1t.
Vast Trade at Stake
In making this point Mr.. Barrett,
when seen at his room at the Auditor
ilm Annex, said yesterday:
"There is no more practical and
present day question before Chicago
and the central west. affecting their
material development. than that OF
deepening the water way connections
with the Gulf of Mexico. Trade which
can be valued at hundreds of millions
of dollars in South and Central Amer
lea is at stake. If Illinois and other
central western manufacturing and
AGRICULTURAL districts are to have their
share of the growing commerce with
our sister republics they must leave no
stone unturned to influence congress
to devote the money necessary to
deepen the drainage canal and the Mis-
sissippi river.
"The international bureau of Ameri-
can republics is considering this matter
very carefully, because one of Its prin-
cipal objects is to do everything possible
to develop trade between the United
States and the other American republics.
Already the bureau has succeeded-in the
first six months of 1907-in> adding nearly
s25 900 900 to the value of commerce of
the United States with South America.
.'It is foolish for the United States gov
ernment to spend $40O. 100000, as 1t surely
will before the isthmian waterway Is
done, on such gigantic project unless
at the same time it spends'a a correspond
ing amount to develop it's feeders, like
the Mississippi river.
s'The countries of Europe and of Asia
are already planning how they can make
the canal help them. They are doing
even more than the United States, which
has the most at stake. 1t therefore be-
hooves congress to- consider carefully
ways and means by which all sections of
the United States Will be fully prepared
to get their share Of the immense trade
in the South and Central American coun-
tries bordering on the Pacific ocean.
