Jefferson City, Mo. Jan. 3.--Gov-
.srnor Folk. in his message to the leg
islature today embodied a number OF
changes relating to life insurance
companies. Among others was a
standard policy for al life companies,
prohibiting discrimination ami reoat-
ing. regulating the election of direc-
tors and requiring nonresident COM
panies to keep at least rs per cent OF
premiums received from Missouri pol
icy holders invested within the state.
Also he recommended the enact
ment of a law making it a crime for
anyone for compensation to lobby
with members of the Legislature.
Railroads, he said, should be required
TO carry passengers within the state
for two cents a mile. There should
be a primary state law for the nomi-
nation of all elective officers, includ-
ing United States senators; every cor
poration should be required to furnish
each stockholder with a balance sheet
of its business once year; there
should be a privilege tax on corpora
tions doing business in the state: the
state should regulate the charges of
public service corporations; the peo-
pie of each city and town should be
authorized to purchase and operate
their own public utilities. He touched
upon a number of other subjects, in

of bucketshops and the liquor traffic

Occupy Hospital Ward.

ONSuBN ftoSthbs
Messrs. Greene and Gaynor are sole
occupants of the hospital ward on
the second floor of the Macon prison.
The large room, illuminated by
electric light, is furnished with com
Portable cots, chairs and tables, piled
high with newspapers, magazines and
books. The stairs leading to the
apartments are near the front of the
building and thus it is never neces-
sary for the occupants to mix or min
gle with the common herd of Grim
inals.
Despite recent assertions of officials
that Messrs. Greene and Gaynor have
lived strictly within prison rules. 1t is
generally known i'm Macon that they
have enjoyed liberties prisoners con-
victed of much lesser offenses never
enjoy.
During the past base BAH season
thte two were interested spectators at
base ball matinees at Central park.
A sporting writer for n local paper
one day referred to the lusty cheer
ling done by the former government
lcontractors, whereupon, 1t is said,
they Immediately resigned from the
rooters' club. Perhaps they didn't
4
care for notoriety.
Greene and Gaynor have often
been seen walking or driving upon
| the streets of this city, accompanied
by obliging bailiffs. Colonel Gaynor
has gone so far as to make excur-
sions into the country. Captain
Greene, the older of the two, appears
more retiring in disposition. He Il
said to spend a good portion OF his
time in the back yard of the Jail, eth
er walking for exercise or seated be
meath a tree. poring over Frencl
inovel.
In explaining the appearance o
Colonel Gaynor upon the streets, al
official of Uncle Sam is quoted as fol
lows:
Mr. Gaynor is a sufferer from as
thma of the worst type and is als'
laffiicted with locomotor ataxia. OF
account of his condition we hav
driven him out into the country wher,
he has been able to inhale the pur
ozone, but he has always been closel,
guarded"
Curiosity was naturally aroused a

citizens stormed the Jail for tn
