Indianapolis. Oct % - Strangely
enough it was necessary for the Amer
lean National Fire Insurance company
of Rock Island, III, to get rid of some
of its ready cash before it could get
permission to enter the Indiana field.
The second request of the company to
be admitted to this state has just-heen
received by Cyrus Neal. clerk in the
Insurance department Of the auditors
Office
Similar request was turned down
four months ago because the company
did not have 100000 worth of in
terest-bearing bonds. as required by
law, although it had s250,0O0 in cash
After learning the provisions of the
Indiana law, the company went about
to convert some of its cash into bonds.
1t now has approximately $500 600
worth of Chicago municipal bonds The
company is reported to be thoroughly
sound and it is thought that it will be
allowed to do business in this state

WILL TAKE NO
PART IN RATE WAR
Auditor Corrects Report
That Insurance Dept.
Would Investigate.
NOT YET OFFICIALLY REPORTED
Blufton Situation of Paramount In
terest-Outcome is Important
Rates Take Big Drop.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23.-(SpeciaI)--
Correcting a report that had become
current that the insurance department
OF his office would investigate the rate
war which II now on among fire in
surance men at Bluffton, John c. Bill
heimer. auditor of state, said today that
he had no intention of taking any act
ion. The case has not been officially
reported to him, he explained. and
moreover there is no state law. he
thinks, that would permit him to at
tempt to regulate rates merely be-
cause competitive companies are cut
ting rates to force their local agents
into line. Eastern papers had printed
stories that the auditor was about TO
enter he Bluffton war.
The situation at Bluffton where
union insurance companies are at
tempting to put in force new rates
is paramount just now in insurance
circles. Similar attempts are TO be
made If the Bluffton case comes out
satisfactorily. Already the companies
have served notice on the agents at
Muncie and the agents there have put
up a solid front in opposition.
Trouble began at Bluffton last week
when the companies announced that
new rates based on the so-called Dean
schedule should go into force. Local
agents rebelled as the rates for the
most part were increased. The agents
declared that non-union companies
would get all the business If the
change went into effect. At this junct-
ure. specitl agents of the union COM
panies entered the field and COM
menced to get business on whole
sale scale. The war between the reg
ular and special agents resulted In a
general slicing of rates. Instances are
shown where merchants who had been
paying SIS to $50 a year were offered
insurance for s..
The outcome of the Bmffton situation
is important as 1t will have an effect
on the outcome in other cities where
the Dean schedule is now being en-
forced or is to be. Fort Wayne and
South Bend are included in the list
where the schedule will be promulgated
provided the union companies are
successful in putting down the rebel
lion of their agents at Bluffton. An
derson and Richmond are also bound
to feel the effect of the war sooner or
later.

they arrested a man on suspicion of
being the instigator Of the trouble.

special 40 Lake Connty Timen.l


Indiana Harbor, Ind oct. 2s.-It Will
be matter of interest To the people
of Hammond and East Chicago to know
that it is the plan Of the officials OF
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
railroad TO run the cars on the Indiana
Harbor branch all the way through to
Kensington and thence to Chicago.
In fact, the Indiana Harbor cars are
to be locals and Will make all or the
little station stops between the Har-
bor and Chicago. while the main line
cars will be the through cars and
win stop only at the towns along the
route in the same manner that the
trains do on a steam railroad
The service between East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor is decidedly poor
at the present time and as the cars
are then often delayed by a lack OF
power, they are extremely unreliable.
Entire Line TO Operate March. 1.
However, the officials OF the COM
pany, say they hope to have the en-
tire line in operation by the first of
March and then a ffteen- minute ser
vice will be installed and the people
of Hammond will be enabled to get on
car and ride right through to East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor. or vice
versa.
This will afford better service to all
of the cities of the Calumet region
for by that time the road will also be
completed to Gary and the three larg-
est cities OF this territory will be ac-
cessible to each other.
| What is known as the Hammond
feeder Will ultimately be built al
though the matter OF securing a fran
chise will not be taken UP until aftel
the main line and the Indiana Harbol
branch is in operation.
The company is putting IN poles a
East Chicago and the work of con
struction is going on rapidly on al
| points Of the line.

DEPOT MUST Be MOVED
Shift Lake Shore Station to
Allow Elevation Work
to Proceed.

Gary. Oct 23.-(SpeciaL)-To make
it possible for the mechanics who are
TO put in the construction work for
the elevated tracks. the Lake Shore
depot and tracks will be moved from
the present position and extended
about sixty feet towards the center OF
the town. To do this. the base and
ties must be reset and the rails re-
laid for some distance. But the OBJ
ject Of the work, the spread in the
construction Will be worth the labor
and trouble.
Since the passing OF the ordinance
relative to the speed Of trains through
the town. the railroads have shown
their willingness TO do everything they
can TO aid in the upbuilding or the
city. and although it means much to
them, the trains now run slowly.

BLANCHE WALSH.

A domestic drama of untold power is "The Kreutzer Sonata" the vehicle in which Wagenhals and Kemper will present the foremost American ac- tress of the day, Blanche Walsh, in this city at Polls on Wednesday, De- cember IS. Jacob Gordin is the au- thor of the play and 1t is unquestion- Iably one of the biggest plays of hu- man interest our stage has known in years. The purpose of the play is to illustrate the possible crimes that may be attributed to racial prejudice and the tendency of domestic ties to degenerate when the younger genera tion is suddenly bereft of the condi- Itions which surrounded its childhood. In this play Miss Walsh scored a most pronounced triumph at the Manhat- tan theater, New York, and later at the Herald Square theater in the same city. Two casts which sur rounded her then and the entire or iginal production are announced by Wagenhals and Kemper for the ap- pearance in this city. Prices 25 cents to $50.
