alton for Government of
Insurance Business.

Philadelphia, April 25.-The insurance
law committee of the American Bar
association, which has been in session
here devising a system of uniform laws

ries of recommendations which will be
presented to the association as en-
bodying its ideas Of what such laws
should contain.
Following is a list of the recommen-
dations, the elaboration of which will
constitute the report:
First-The appointment of state in
surance commissioners for fitness and
expert qualification for the position.
rather than as a reward for political
services.
Second-That all companies created
outside the United States make depos-
its in at least one state. The chief mo-
tive of this recommendation was the
action of certain German companies
after the San Francisco fire, which re-
pudiated their policies.
Third-The repeal Of the retaliatory
tax laws.
Fourth-The repeal of the valid pol
icy laws.
Fifth-The creation in each state Of
the Office of fire marshal.
Sixth-The enactment OF federal
statute prohibiting the use of the mails
by wildcat insurance companies and
by any company not authorized by the
law of the state Of it's origin.
Seventh-The appcrtionment and con-
tingent distribution Of deferred divi-
dends surplus on policies now in force,
as precedent to the right to- do bust
I ness outside of the state IN which the
company is created.
The American Bar association will
meet in Portland, Me, next August to
discuss the suggestions

MURDER MYSTERY
SOLVED IN FAR AWAY CHINA
AFTER MONTHS.
Soldier of Fortune Guilty of Commit
ting the Famous Trunk
Crime.

Denver. Col, Oct. 24.--The mys-
tery of the murder in China of Ger
ltrude Dayton, the actress and opera
lsinger, has been solved. After almost
three months of anxious inquiry her
brother, ]. F. McKelvy, a Denver,
Theatrical manager has learned the
"details of the killing. This morning
he received from the American con-
hui at Hangkong a full account of
the crime. Almost positive evidence
has been secured that II. Adsetts, the
American soldier OF fortune. was the
slayer.
Gertrude Dayton was murdered in
her room at the Hongkong hotel on
the night of August 8. just after she
had arrived ON her way home from
Manila. The murderer not only stab
bed her, but strangled her with a
part of her own clothing. The body
was taken from the hotel the next
day in a trunk and loaded on board
the steamer Monteagle. where it was
found three days later. The British
officers at Hongkong assert they have
conclusive evidence against Adsetts.
Blood stains were found upon the
mattress of the bed and also on a
tea table cover near the bed. Moth
ing was found Of the large amount of
valuable jewelry which the girl car
ried, nor of the postofice money
orders which she was known to have
purchased before she left Manila
Neither was there any trace of the
body when the chief detective at
Hongkong learned that on August
a man was seen taking a trunk from
the hotel aided by two coolies from
Outside the hotel
Mrs. ]. c. Whiteford, a friend OF
the murdered girl. on August 9 ar
rived at Holgkong from Manila.
Aided by Mrs. Whitford, the officers
at Hongkong decided that the de-
lseription of the man who had shipped
the trunk fitted Adsetts, who had
been a sergeant in the legation guard
at Pekin.
Adsetts was traced to Chefoo and
there taken into custody by the
American consul general. Later he
was turned over to the British au-
liberties.
In his possession were found
Fifteen postoffice money orders for
800 each and payable 20 Mrs. H.
Hupfer. This is Margaret Hupfer Of
Youngstown. Ohio, a sister of Miss
Dayton. Adsetts also had large
amount of jewelry in his possession.
a part of which has been identified as
belonging to Miss Dayton. A list OF
this jewelry is given in the Letter
from the state department. Mr.. Nc
Kelvey recognized the description OF
brooch which he himself sent to
his sister last Christmas.
