OYSTER CHAMPIONS MEET
Dealers Organiee-.SIanderers of the
Bir0ire. Bezcarc.

The 1owntTodden humble oyster. which has been
condemned by many medical experts" and held up
for public denunciaton by boards OF health has at
last found d oefendrr. 1t Is the new ,,vsterrnen &
. association. which has just been formed in this
city There was somewhat secret meeting in the
Ashland House last Wednesday and more than
sixty oysteImen from points as far separated as
Portland, Me, and San Francisco were in attend
This organization, whose president is AzeI F.
Merrell has yet decided upon d name but its
policies clear. 1t acquit the oyster.
The bivalve shall be sandered. Alexander
Frazer, OF the most active oyster merchants
Of New York, outlined the societys work yester-
day when he said: There have been hundreds of
stories published in the newspapers to the effect
that oysters prolific causes Of typhoid fever
1t has been sale by physicians that oysters are
likely TO convey such germs Later the same phys-
clans have modified and qualified their reports But
the fact remains that people have remembered the
alarming reports and have avoided oysters. This
makes necessary our coming forward with good
word for the oyster article of food.
1t should be known that great experts hy-
Eiene have said the oyster is really antdote
typhoid. Despite this, newspapers have published
stories SAYING that oysters are fattened in
age. We trying TO overcome this unjust criti
cisn. For instance, many New York oystermen
have fattened their oysters in the Railway River.
We heard that the water was polluted. and while
found il did not affect the oysters We decided
il was a proper drinking place for them.
Therefore now forego the profit that comes
from fattening' oysters and take. them directly
from the bed the market"
a similar view was expressed by H c. Rowe, of
New Haven, who elected vice-president OF
the association said that the loss to the oyster
business on account OF the publication OF stories
regarding typhoid caused by oysters would
amount to sleeacoo. Members from Kansas City.
Rochester Denver and Chicago reported that their
sales had fallen off about . per cent. and that
they believed the of typhoid fever was at the
bottom Of II all
What We want said prominent out-of-town
member Yesterday, ''is TO show the people that
o,-erers are ae good now as they when
fathers ate them. Just at present We are busy
perfecting our organization but within a month
we will be ready to take up campaign work"

NEW INSURANCE BILLS.
Nezc York Life Com panies Would
I'm DrOCc on 1906 LEGISLATION.

Many of the heads of the New York life insur-
ance companies preparing a set of bills to
amend the insurance legislation of 1906 and to
eliminate from the present laws what they con-
sider Objectionable features. AS soon as these
bills are drawn they will be carried to Albany and
introduced. Life insurance are hopeful of
the Legislature passing them during the present
session.
At present the number and exact nature of tho
bills have not been determined Darwin P Kings
ley. president of the New York Life Insurance
Company. who has been outspoken in his criti-
cism of the 1896 legislation, is the leader in this
movement
Mr.. Kingsley said to a Tribune reporter yester-
II is economically wrong and there is Immediate
need of amendment. Before the end of the pres
ent session OF the New York Legislature 1 hope
that new insurance legislation will have been
passed rectfying the mistakes of 1905.
Il had thought and hoped before this to have
introduced set of bills which would if passed do
away with the objectionable and harmful features
OF the present insurance laws However II has been
impossible to get the bills in shape far II will
not be long before they will be ready and then I
hope the Legislature will that they are for
the best interests not only of lhe New York COM
panies and the insurance business in this state
but for the policyholders as we'll"
Whether the bills would be introduced as com
ing from a combination of life insurance com
panies in the city whether $ coming from the
New York Life only Mr.. Kingsley said he could
not definitely state at this time.

Secretary Wilson says the public
cannot tell fresh eggs from stale. That
10 mistake, The public has an infal
lible rule. All 1t has to do is to ask
the groceryman. The public isn't
obliged to carry around an electric
battery and an X-ray machine for the
purpose Of testing its eggs. The gro.
Ger is always more than pleased to
give the facts. That is what he is
there for. The skeptical person might
think the grocer himself didn't know,
but he does. 1t is an easy matter for
him to know. All he has to do to get
strictly fresh egg is to pick it out OF
the 4l-cent basket. The price seems
to him sufficient guaranty of fresh.

In one OF the shortest messages
which he has yet transmitted to con-
gress, President Roosevelt has called
the attention of that body to the neces-
sity Of further Legislation on the sub
ject Of anarchy. With the message
was transmitted a report reviewing
the legal phases of the question by
Attorney General Bonaparte.
The house employers liability bill
has passed the senate without amend
ment. The bill is expected to meet
the requirements of the recent de-
cision OF the federal supreme court
which declared the old law uncon-
stitutional.
A bill has been introduced In the
house prohibiting the dealing in fu-
lures in agricultural products by for
bidding dealers to use the mails. in
