SUBSCRIPTION RATES

THANKS are due the Business Mems
Association for bringing out the cause
of the large increase in the insurance
rates in Morristown. 1t is a satisfac-
tion to know that they were intended
TO be remedial in their effect and oy
raising the rates generally secure bet
ter fire conditions. But it is aggravat-
ing to learn that while this was the
case the unfortunate victims were not
informed that they could secure re-
bates by complying with certain con-
(litions. Now that the matter has
been explained it behooVes the ooafd
of aldermen to take immediate steps
and by suitable ordinance and appoint
ment of inspectors place the business
section of the town in condition to Sc
cure large reductions in the present
rates. Heretofore there has been no
intimation that property owners could
save money by keeping their buildings
and premises in proper condition, and
we have been informed by insurance
men that putting in fire extinguishers'
etc, would not affect the rates. just
here it would seem that the insurance
agents of the town have been remiss
in their obligations to their patrons.
1T is their business and they might
have discovered the reason for increase
in rates and advised remedies. There
ougat to be public sentiment to back
up the board Of aldermen in going to
the full extent of their power in in
Sls6ing that all buildings should be
put in the best possible condition so
far as ire lis 4, are concerned.

chair was as usual by his side.
At the prosecutions table when Senator
Borah rose to speak were seated two as
sistant counsel, but James H. Hawley
leading counsel for the state was not In
his place owing to serious Illness.
Senator Borahs speech was a sensation.
From time to time he turned on counsel
for the defense, fierce denunciation pour
ing from his lips, and at times brought
protest from Richardson and Darrow, but
with blazing eyes and hot words he
silenced every effort to break the rush of
words.
The climax was reached when, in be-
half of the state of Idaho, it's people, it's
governor and himself, he disclaimed all
intention or desire to give immunity to
Orchard.
Finally, his face pale and quivering
with emotion, the senator raised his arm
and said: 'If l should ever join in or give
approval to immunity to this man hope
the great God may wither my right arm
to the socket"

Gets Valuable Booty, but His Sus-
picious Actions Lead Quickly
to the Recovery of the
Stolen Goods

Grover German, who the police say is
a dangerous crook and who has been in
Jail before on various charges, is locked
in the small tank at the city prison on
charge of burglary.
According to the arresting officers, De-
tectives Walsh and Murphy of the Uni
versity district German perpetrated one
of the most daring robberies Wednesday
night which has been committed in Los
Angeles for years.
Taking advantage of the momentary
absence of Mrs L. M. Fleming from her
home at 1924 South Main street, German
slipped into the front door and was coolly
engaged in ransacking the front room on
the first floor when Mrs. Fleming re-
turned.
She heard a noise in the front room
and entered but German had quickly
and quietly stepped behind a PORTER and
stood there watching her while she made
survey of the room. Finally satisfied
that she was mistaken Mrs. Fleming left
the room and went upstairs, where she
was packing a trunk preparatory to
sending her daughter on a visit to the
east.
Burglar Shows Assurance
AS soon as the woman left the room
German continued his quest for valu-
ables. He passed from this room into
the next and searched it also. All this
time Mrs. Fleming and her daughter
were in an upper hallway talking, and
German could plainly hear their voices.
He worked along without an Interrupt
ton, and when he had searched the two
rooms he passed into the kitchen and
took a luncheon from the pantry and sat
down at a table and ate 1T. He then
searched a closet opening off the kitchen
and returned through the two rooms and
out of the hall doorway, carefully open
ing and closing the door,
German secured at the house gold
watch and chain, diamond ring, a gold
bracelet, a gold thimble, breastpin and
several other articles of jewelry and a
gold mounted manicure set, the whole
valued at about $3.50.
An hour after the ROBBERY, which was
at $3.50 o'clock in the evening. German
was arrested on West Jefferson street by
the two detectives. At the University
