INSURANCE CUTS
BEING PROBED
State Auditor BiIIheimer Not
Satisfied With Meth
DDS Pursued.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENTS.
PANiES AT THIS SEASON OF
THE YEAR HAVE TENDENCY TO
SLAY RATES.

The insurance department OF the Of
fee Of auditor of state has begun an
investigation Of methods in use by GER
tain life insurance companies, some OF
them Indiana companies The inves- |
tigation is based on reports that these
companies have been writing business
at an unusually low rate, which prac
tically amounts to rebating. Repre-
sentatives Of the companies involved
have been in conference with the State |!
department, but no definite cOnclu- |
sions have been reached.
No promise has been made that the
methods in use will cease, and at pres
ent the auditor is attempting to deter
mine just what legal steps may be TAX
en- to prevent such rate cutting. All
laws that relate to the insurance bus |
iness are being studied. The law
gives the insurance department broad
powers in determining whether or not
company's methods are safe. |
Reports of rate cutting came to John
G. Billheimer, auditor Of state, several !
days ago. Following this. confer !
ence was had with representatives of
the insurance companies and it is I'M |
derstOod that the insurance depart ,
meEt feels sure that the reports re-
ceived were true. Two of the COM |
panies mentioned are Indiana cOmpa- !
MES. They are the Indiana National
Life and the Majestic Life, both with
Offices in Indianapolis. The Security

Agents Not Responsible.
Information which has reached the
auditors Office is to the effect that the
agents are not wholly or in any great
part responsible for the rate cutting
1t is stated that the composites have in
structed the agents to cut rates. In
some cases it is asserted the rates have
been cut more than 30 per cent. 1t IS
stated on good authority that the to-
tai term premiums collected by some
or the insurance companies in Indiana
during the last year will not equal the !
reserve which the companies will be re-
CURED to file at the auditors office |
the first OF the year. The reserve is |
80 per cent of the net term premium
for the first year, and the net term !
premium is the premium paid by the
insured, less the expenses of the COM
pany in obtaining the insurance. In !
other words the premiums collected
will not even pay the reserve when as
Q matter Of fact they should pay twice
that amount plus the expenses incident
to gaining the insurance. The audi
tor regards such methods as unsafe,
and it is stated that he will lose no
time in his effort to correct the prac-
tice.
There is always a tendency near the
close of the year for insurance COM
panies to work hard to increase the
amount Of insurance in force They
wish to make a good showing when
they are examined by the auditor at
the beginning of the year. 1t is be-
Iieved that this desire has something
to do with the wholesale cutting of
rates.

his arrest was published in the Rec
ord. In justice to the young man,
the following from the Elida News is
given as it closes his case:
Last Friday evening a young man
by the name of Williams, whose faith
er and brother reside here, was arrest
ed by Constable Byron Parish on a
charge of murder. 1t seems tnat a
Dago had in a row at Frio, Texas the
day before murdered another of the
same kind.
The news and description had been
tlegraphed ahead and Mr.. Parish set
out at once to capture the murderer
Mr. Williams who had been at work
near Texico was returning to Elida
on a freight train. Upon the arrival
of the train at Portales, Constable Par
ish boarded it also, thinking his man
was perhaps there in hiding. When
the train was in about four miles of
Elida Parish found and arrested Will
liams, Aaadcuffed him and went down
to Roswell returning with his man
to Portales on the next train. Immed-
Sheriff Lang discharged Mr.. Williams
who returned to Elida as he did not
in any way answer the description of
the man wanted by the officers. The
difference between a white boy of on
ly Is years and a Dago of matured
years who wore a mustache is so
great that it is almost impossible to
conceive of such a mistake being
made by an officer of the law, versed
in the detection of criminals.

Delmas then announced that as the
courts rulings prevented him from
going into these matters because of
lack of preliminary foundation, he
would ask leave to withdraw the wit
ness for the time being and proceed
along other lines. Jerome agreed to
temporary withdrawal and a recess
was taken. AS courts ruling are all
based upon the Judges right to use
his discretion as to the order in
which proof must be offered and do
not go into subject matter of ques-
ton, if defense is able to make prima
facie case of mental unsoundnesS at
the time of the shooting or prior
thereto, then it is understood the evi-
dence which has been excluded will
be admissible. First witness this af-
ternoon was DR.. Charles E. Wagner,

amined Thaw at the toombs the lat
ter was suspicious and feared he

considered. The conference was sug-
gested at the recent convention of

New York Feb. 1.-THE opening
of the fourth week of the Thaw trial
brought a new order of things in the
court room and all women other than
a half dozen active newspaper writer's
who have followed the case since its
beginning were barred by order of
Justice Fitzgerald. AS a result there
were several rows of vacant seats,
wnen Thaw was called to the bar.
The prisoner walked to his seat at
his counsels table without a single
friendly nod to greet him. No mem
Der of his family was in court.
That the defense would proceed
with the struggle to have Thaw's
will accepted in evidence as testimony
to show the unsoundnesS of his mind
was indicated by Delmas, who ask
ed that J. d. Lyon be called as first
witness. Lyon testified ne had been
engaged in banking business for a
quarter of century and is now con-
nected with the Union National
Bank. Jerome objected to the de-
fense proceeding with new witness,
while the examination of Mrs. Thaw
not complete. Though defense should
offer some explanation of its purpose
in interrupting Mrs. Thaw's testimony
Delmas stated he considered that en-
ough evidence had been introduced

1nsouldneSs of Thaw's mind and he

Delmas asked that Lyon merely be
allowed to identify the envelope and
he package (wilD it contained. Jer-
ONE finally withdrew his objection
and the witness identified the pack
age as having been in his possession
some time near April 1, 1906, until
the latter part of November, 1906. At
torney ]. B. Gleason, who has mad
charge of Thaw's papers since the
tragedy was the witness. He said the
envelope containing the will, was IN
his possession since December IL,
1906, when he received it by mail
from Pittsburg He declared that no
change had been made since then in
the document.
Mrs. Tnaw then recalled. Delmas
again asked jerome to produce the
note which Mrs. Thaw passed her Gus
band at the Cafe Martin on the night
of the tragedy. Jerome sent for the
note and offered 40 objection to it's
being introduced in evidence. Delmas
read it as follows: THE B. go. was
here a minute ago but went out
meant "Blackguard" and referred to
Stanford White"
Mrs. Thaw was asked if she ever
knew of ner husband carrying pis-
toll She replied that she had known
of it some time after Christmas eve,
1908, but never of his carrying a pis-
tol anywhere except in New York.
Jerome objected to several ques-
tions asked by Delmas and in each
instance Justice Fitzgerald sustained
his objections. Finally Delmas asked
if he was to understand that the
courts ruling on specific questions
was to indicate that no further ques-
tions along this line of conversation
between the witness and the defend
ant were to be allowed.
Tine court has gone as fully into
the matter as it DESIRES said the
Judge. Delmas changed the nature Of
his questions but Jerome still object

to be pullel off by the Valley Falls
Athletic club tonight, promises to be
the fastest bout seen in the East for
many years. The boys will weight
142 pounds at o'clock this afternoon
and both will enter the ring in the
pink of condition and ready to fight
the battle of their lives.
While Melody, as the present hold
er of the welter weight title, is the
favorite and is looked upon by many
as certain victor, there are many

Tuthill has conditioned Lewis for ma
ny fights and in every case Willie has
won.
Lewis has a great incentive to put
up the scrap of his career because OF
the fact that several Nevada promot
ers have offered him dates in case
he gets away with the title. Tex

Hawkins was a bland smile, but ii
is certain that he did not come to

1t is known that the Bursum faction
failed to receive support from some
of the republican leaders who were

it is more than probable that Mr..

support for the Bursum faction which
appears to be fast going to pieces.

Thursday night since which time
there has been nothing done to show
that he was able to suggest any new

Some of Bursum's friends thought
on Friday afternoon wnen both hous-
es of the legislature passed House
Joint Resolution No. 4. over the gov
ernOr's veto that it was victory for
the Bursum faction and that all the
republicans had clambered into the
band wagon as every republican in
the legislature had voted to pass the
resolution over the governors veto,
but there was no foundation on which
to base such an idea.
Tine employe question has been
nightmare to both houses since the
beginning of the session. Dozens of
patriots who were willing to serve the
Territory in the capacity of secretary
to the fifteenth assistant sergeant at
arms were sent home with the state
ment that they could not be provid-
ed for, yet nearly hundred secured
positions on the payroll and they have
been clamoring for their pay. 1t was
realized that the force would have to
be reduced or the pay cut down in
order to come anywhere near within
the amount which congress has per-
mitted to be appropriated out of the
terriatorial treasury. Numerous eau
cuses have been held to settle this
question and the members of both
houses were anxious to reach a final
agreement last week.
The resolution which appropriated
S5,75S for the pay of employees did
not provide any method of accounting
for the money not a word appearing
in the resolution about rendering any
account to the territory whatever. In
