To Move Meteorite.

New York. July 13.-One of the
most stupendous engineering tasks,
recently undertaken in New York is
that of moving the mammoth meteor
ite, which Robert E. Peary found in
Greenland, from its present resting
place on the grounds of the American
Museum of National History to a place
in the hall of meteorites. This great
mass of iron weighs thirty-seven and
half tons and is the largest of its
kind known. In order to get it into
the great lobby of the museum the
doors are being thoroughly braced. A
solid pier of concrete has been built
in the basement on a foundation OF
solid rock, which will be used as the
permanent resting place OF the celes
tial stone Ever since it was brought
to New York the giant meteor has
been an object of great interest tC
scientists and laymen alike and in its
new position it will doubtless attract
more attention.

The Hague, July 12.-It was off

Choate, in speaking to some foreign
delegates yesterday, said that Ameri-

the Koreans, but but gave 40 opinion
about the present condition of that
country, and only expressed the be-

question. He said that a war between
the United States and Japan was un-
thinkable. There was, he said, no
group of finalciers who would finance
a war against this country, and it was
unthinkable that England would per

FRENCHMEN CELEBRATE
FALL OF THE RASTu E

| Paris, July 13.-In joyous memory
when the grim Bastile fell before the
fierce and determined assaults
all Paris today commenced celebrating
the anniversary that has become the
national holiday. For the moment
the menacing clouds of revolution
that hover sullenly over the South are
forgotten and Paris has assumed its
usual care-free aspect.
A booming salute of 21 guns rang
out from the race track at Long
champs this morning ushering in the
festivities that will continue with un-
abated fervor tonight and tomorrow.
The appearance of the president, cab
met members and diplomatic corps
was greeted with wild cheers by the
populace.
The government municipal and ma
ny private buildings are brilliantly
decorated and in the American quar-
ter the Stars and Stripes are floating
beside the tricolor of France. The
British flag is also much in evidence.
At an early hour the boulevards were
thronged with merry-makers and pub
lie games and dancing are in progress
in all the parks controlled by the
municipality.
Free performances were given this
afternoon in all the subsidized theat-
ers. Enormous crowds gathered ear
ly and many sold their places near
the doors to late comers. The public
balls commenced last night and will
continue tonight and tomorrow.
AS the day wears on the city pre-
sents a more and more animated spec
tacle and it is likely that thousands of
jewellers will extend their merry-mak-
ing through the entire night. All bu-
mess has suspended for the day and
the Bourse has closed until Monday.

verdict in favor of the defendants,
but the appellate court mas just grant
ed the plaintiff a new trial. Distin-
guished attorneys will appear for both
sides and those of the defense will
attempt to prove that $500 is a very
modest and reasonable amount to be
paid for third interest in wood
en-tailed monster of the deep.
The new trial was granted upon the
allegation that Judge Lynn's charge
to the jury had been unjust and un-
fair and prejudicial to the interests
of Muhlig. In mis- charge the justice
said that the day Muhlig accepted
the whale just as it was, stuffed full of
straw and plaster; the day he put on
a gold trimmed sea captains cap and
invited the public in, he was wholly
a1d entirely party to the conditions
existing and for better or worse he
cast his fortunes in with the whale.
He cannot come into court and recov.
er from a defendant on any theory of
fraud unless you believe from the tes-
timo1y that fraud was practiced un-
fairly upon him without his consent

Defends Texas Insurance Law.

Austin, Tex, July 12-With the in
forcement of the Robertson act today
| there goes into effect the most strin-
gent law for the regulation of life in
surance companies ever passed by the
legislature of any state. Practically
all of the more important companies
have closed their offices and with
drawn from the state and will hereaf-
ter become outlaws in the conduct OF
| their Texas business Hereafter no
agent of the big companies will be al
| lowed to solicit or collect premiums
| within the borders of Texas. large
number of smaller life insurance con-
Germs have applied for permits, how
ever. and are prepared to comply with
the provisions of the law.
Numerous vicious attacks have been
made upon the provisions of the new
act iby officials of leading life insur-
| ance companies, and these have arous
ed the resentment of State Insurance
Commissioner R. T. Miner. who has
issued a statement explaining the
Robertson bill and its provisions. In
surance men have stated that it would
Texas funds of insurance companies
so as to net from to per cent, per
annum in order to protect policy hold
ers. This Commissioner Miner has
branded as false, setting forth that an
earning of 61a per cent, is all that is
necessary.
Under the law it is possible for
foreign insurance companies to own
40 per cent. of the stock of each and
every bank in Texas, now organized
and to be organized for all time to
come,'' says Commissioner Miner
''It is very conservative to place the
average earning capacity of bank
stock in Texas at per cent. per an
mum. Many are earning more, few are
earning less.
"The insurance companies have the
authority under the Robertson act to
own every first mortgage bond of any
and every solvent dividend paying
corporation incorporated under the
laws of the state and doing business
here. The law not only authorizes
them to purchase, but limits them to
the choicest securities in Texas. 1t
specifically provides that they shall
invest only in the best, safest and
soundest colaterals in the state. 1t
even prohibits them from erecting
buildings except in the best towns
those of more than $4,000 inhabitants
and in no city will they be permit
ted to run the risk of erecting more
tnan one Office building. The oppor-
tunities which they have under the
Robertson act for earning dividends
are as broad as the resources of this
state.

Fire Averted.

Owing to the timely efforts of Miss
Ethel Bailey, night telephone opera
tor, Roswell was saved a disastrous
fire last night. About 300 a. m. Miss
Bailey, looking out of the Office win
dow, discovered fire a short distance
off. Calling the attention of some men
who were passing to the blaze, they
ran up the street to the place, finding
right against the new Christian
church some barrels of lime, lumber,
a wheelbarrow, ETC., in flames Miss
Bailey rang the chief of the Fire De
partment, but turned il no alarm.
The hose cart and engine were quick.
ly sent to the scene, and by prompt
action the fire was extinguished.
Great credit is due Miss Bailey for
her presence of mind and thoughtful
ness, for without it great loss of prop
erty would nave been the result.
