INSURANCE AGENTS PROTEST
Many Refuse to Obey Orders of Man
ayers to Pay Refund to Policy
Holders.

SEATTLE, March because of the
fact that under the short term clause"
of practically all the insurance policies
written in this state, the insurance
agents would have been forced to re-
turn $4,000 to 100000 in earned
state of Washington protested to the
companies against the wording of the
Mckenzie circular of February 16
eliminating the 25 per cent emer-
gency premium of July 5, 1906. The
same protest went up from every in
surance agent and insurance firm in
the west, and before the general man
ayers at San Francisco had realized
what a storm their action had pro-
voked, were flooded with Geographic
and mail remonstrances couched in no
mild language.
Agents Threaten Revolt.
Some of the big insurance writing
firms here, in Portland, Los Angeles
and San Francisco, advised the COM
panies that they could look elsewhere
for agents if they were going to dip
deep into their pockets and take out
money that they had earned and pos
sibly spent months before. The pro-
vision complained of was in effect this:
To the refund of the premiums eff
fective from July 5, which were 25 per
cnt higher than before that date pro-
vided for in the original circular of
Surveyor Mckenzie, the agents were
forced to contribute from their COM
missions Is per cent. In Seattle alone,
this would amount to $4,000 easily,
which the agents would have to pay
to the policy holders out of their own
pockets.
The agents very naturally remons-
trated against such a sweeping order
from the insurance managers. Some of
them rushed to the telegraph wires
without waiting to figure out how
much they would lose. 1t is said that
one firm under the order, would alone
have had to pay out $4,000. In the state
it is probable $4,000 to 100000 would
cover the loss to the agents.
Under the battering of the agents
the general managers at San Francis
co weakened and compromise was eff
fected. This leaves the whole matter
to certain extent in the hands of the
agents themselves.

PAID A RARE COMPLIMENT
Widow Who Keeps Sheep Enlightened
as to Neiohbor's Meanino.

Near the Hole in the-Wall country
in Wyoming there is a peppery ola
cattleman whose range is as dear 10
him his life and from whose point OF
view a Sheepman is parIah. his
nearest neighbor is a strenuous ana
belligerent widow who keeps sheep
In consequence the line between their
two ranges is as clearly defined as
was the dead line at Libby prison.
Upon one occasion, however, the
widows sheep strayed upon the cattle
mans range and the old ranchers rage
was great. He denounced her as
"trollop.' This epithet as applied to
herself came to the ears of the widow,
home to search for the in her dictiona-
ry But her dictionary knew naught OF
"trollop," so she sent away for later
edition and had it freighted in. The
new dictionary when it came was d
silent upon the subject of "trollops' as
the old one, so the widow saddled ner
horse and rode some 20 miles to con-
suit a ranchman whose educational ad-
vantages had been somewhat superior
to those of his neighbOrs.
He listened attentively while she ex-
planned the circumstances.
"And now" she demanded, "wha'
did he mean? What is trolIop!

SEATTLE, March 7,-When George
! Ter from the United States assay office,
gets out of the penitentiary at Mcneil
Island ne will be wealthy man.
But the government cannot recover
this gold, so it will belong to Adams
All the United States can do is
| to recover when possible, the amount
of the populations of a dishonest en-
ploye that are proved to be populations.
The government in the case of Adams
! is in a peculiar position. Adams did not
steal one cent belonging to the United
States. He stole gold dust belonging
to private individuals of which gold
dust the government was but the tenn
porary guardian. The prosecution
| against Adams was instituted by the
government in behalf of private indi-
viduals.
1t is estimated that Adams stole
| from the assay office treasure estim-
! ated to be worth $225,OOO. His steal
! ings were from Alaskan mining men.
| These men are scattered through the
Northland. They are men who care
! little for money-not enough to come
| down to Seattle and file a complaint
against Adams for a few hundred dol
| lars worth of gold. So they have
dropped prosecution.
Have Filed their claims.
The government sent Adams to Nc
Neil Island for six and a half years
! While the case was pending Adams
prosecutors, not the government, but
mining men, were filing their claims
against property owned by Adams and
seized by the government
| But not all the prosecutors came for
ward. Simply a small percentage OF
them believed that they could make
! their claims stick" So small was
the percentage that claims have been
proven that aggregate in amount but
$4,000. Adams stole $225,O00 and
perhaps more. He gets the balance.
| What Adams would get if he We're
released today would be the difference
between $4,000 and 1925, 1000. This is
exclusive of the increase in the value
of his property purchased with stolen
gold.
! Many there were who wondered why
Adams pleaded guilty to a couple OF
counts. The explanation is not far
Off
1t Pays to Steal.
! Adams, if he behaves himself, will
be released from the federal peniten-
| tiary in six years. Prior to going to
| the penitentiary he worked for $4,000
a year. In six years, at his rate OF
living, he would not have saved one
cent.
| He goes to the penitentiary and al
lows claims to be filed against him.
When the claims are sifted out they
aggregate but few thousand dollars.
| Adams gets all that is left. He must
| remain in the penitentiary for six and
| a half years. That does not bother
him because he long ago proved that
he was lost to all sense of shame.
When he gets out however, he is
! wealthy Had he worked honestly for
six and half years, with his capa-
bilities, he would not have been worth
anything.

Beginning with the first OF July
the new pure food law goes into
effect, and the changes that have
been made will cause some effort on
the part Of the manufacturers to
come up to the requirements of the
government. Manufacturers OF food
products and dealers in all kinds OF
liquors and drugs and every COM
pounded food product must te
properly labeled or branded. The
department of agriculture which is
to be responsible for the enforcement
Of the law, has dictated the form of
labels that are to be used by the
manufacturers, each of whom has
been assigned a serial number that
is registered at the department.
Whenever any goods are sold bearing
that number and they do not come
up to the standard it will be an easy
matter to ind out who is the guilty
one.
