Another injected for Insur.
anCe SkuIduggery

New York, Feb. 13-Indictment al
leging perjury were returned today
against the former governor Of New
Jersey, Foster M. Worries, and Frank
H. Combes, following the grand jury
inquiry into the acts of these two
men, while they were officials of the
Bankers Life Insurance company.
Pleadings to the indictments will be
made probably on Friday.
The special grand jury which is in
vestigating a multitude Of big inan.
cial transactions, made an incursion
into the field of life insurance two
weeks ago and today's findings are
the outcome.
- The Bankers Life Insurance COM
pany went out of business some time
ago and the allegations have to do
with acts committed prior to 1905, and
while Worries was president and
Combes secretary of the company. -
In the indictments, which are sim
liar, one being returned against each,
it is charged that in 1904 the presi.
dent and secretary swore falsely in
setting forth in the report to the
state insurance department that Ger.
tain claimed dividends were not due
to policy holders. .isls sAAastFla tE4s5

Ohio Legislator Goes After
Scalp Of Mayor Tom.
Johnson

Columbus, o., Feb. 1 Mayor Tom
Johnson of Cleveland was assailed on
the floor of the house this afternoon
by Jesse B. Roberts, representative
from Cuyhoga county, who charged
that $4,000 had been Illegally appro.
priated FROM the treasury Of the city
OF Cleveland to build street railway
tracks to relieve the congestion in a
public square, and for which conAes-
ton, Mr.. Roberts declared, the street
railway companies, backed by Mayor
Johnson, had been largely RESPONSE
BILE. Mr.. Roberts further charged that
bill had been introduced In the legis-
lature, which he had been informed,
was designed to validate this appro.
priation.
These charges by Mr.. Roberts which
went unchallenged, were made dur
ing the course of an exciting debate
on the bill which sought to permit a
renewal OF street railway franchises
on streets already occupied by tracks
to other than existing companies. The
bill was defeated.

BEVER|DGE
Says Industrial COnsOlida-
tons Can Be Good
and Bad
They Have Come to Stay
and Must Be ReCk-
Oned With

Washbash, Ind, Feb. 13-Senator
Albert j. Beveridge addressed the In
diana Lincoln League of Republican
Clubs here tonight, delegates being
present from all parts of the state.
The address was considered fit
ting climax to the most enthusiastic
gathering in the history of the Lin
coin league. The senator said that
the Indiana delegation to the nation
al convention will be for Fairbanks.
He said:
Eve will vote for our candidate un-
til he is nominated, or until he him
self tells US to vote no longer for
him; and If that time ever comes, the
delegates will not be delivered to any
one" III SESsEksl
Continuing, Senator Beveridge said
Us Nearly twenty years ago, the Sher7
man law was enacted; we have trav-
seled a century since then. In that day
the organization Of industry had just
begun and men were, alarmed; to-
day We know that the organization OF
industry alone can serve the people
that railroad consultations alone can
carry cheaply, safely, quickly the ma
tons passengers and greight. And
SO. while on the one, hand we have
provided for Furnishing robberies COM
mitted by trusts upon the people and
put in jail wealthy anarchists who
broke the peoples laws, we should
also provide that honest men may
combine for honest business; honest
railroad managers consolidate their
lines for honest traffic, that the bust
ness Of the country may go forward.
And 50 the Sherman law must be
amended and brought down to date.

Years ago when the first frosts had
come Connecticut people went out to
pick the punches of bay berries to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic

crushed in pulling off.
We no longer pick bayberries for
company candles for the winter time.

magazine and some stanch old New
Englande0 who love to get out in the
pastures on a crisp fall day-these are
all who gather the bayberries now.
Left to themselves, the clumps of
bushes have spread out and In some
cases overrun whole pastures. In some
parts of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tall.
In Branford, on the coast, there are
almost bay berry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall and some even taller. These
bayberries must be very old, You can
not, help wondering how many, crops
have been picked OF them IN years
past. 5'
AS early as TIT the town records
show that the gathering Of. bayberries
on the highways and common was for
