cAUsEs CONTENTION
Growing Spirit of NatIOnaIism in
Grand Duchy Raises Ques-
tiona in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE rela-
tions between Russia and the grand duchy
OF Finland, which have long been a sub
ject of serious discussion in the higher ad-
ministrative circles of the empire and the
grand duchy, will not be raised in the
Duma by the OctobeFists, who have de-
cided to attack as a salient point the alb
sence of control by M. stolypin, tho Rus
sian premier, over the republics Of the
Finnish country.
The Octoberists maintain that the funda-
mental laws are applicable TO Finland as
an integral part of the Russian empire,
and 1t is a fact that UP to the present time
the Finnish secretary, who ranks as a
minister, has not observed this provision.
Premier Stolypin will be asked what steps
normal condition.
A second Interpolation will ask why no
measures have been taken In accordance
with Instructions issued by the emperor to
connect the railroad systems of Finland
and Russia, a step which is imperatively
necessary for the security of the empire
in order to make possible the rapid mobil-
ization of troops in case of the hostile in
vasion of Finland.
Both these questions will be urgent in
order to forestall any on the part of the
reactionaries, who purpose to raise this
matter In a much sharper form. They are
preparing to demand that the ownership
of Viborg district be restored to Russia
and that measures to crush the national
aspirations of Finland be adopted.

Big Companies of the East Prefer
Western Real Estate 10 Bond
Securities.

State agents Of the National Life In
surance company of Vermont met in the
office Of Charles f. Ady. state agent for
Nebraska, Tuesday TO confer on matters of
importance to western underwriters. Will
lam G. Henderson, state agent of Missouri
and NJ. J. Dillon OF Sioux City. state agent
for Iowa were present. After the confer
ence 1t was said that some changes Of inn
portance and Of an interstate nature would
be made, but nothing would be announced
at this time.
The National of Vermont resumed mak-
ing mortgage loans on Omaha city property
and Nebraska farms a few days ago. and
the state agents predicted that more insur-
ance money than ever would be put out on
real estate during the coming year, bonds
being particularly unpopular with insur-
ance companies at the present time.
THE Equitable Life Assurance associa-
ton has all the money loaned that II
wishes to loan on Manhattan island and
hereafter It will be the policy of this COM
pany to loan money in the leading western
cities, in the section of the country which
is producing the money for premiums"
Thus spake Paul Morton, president of the
Equitable Life Assurance association at a
meeting Of the agents held in Chicago Sat
urday.
In writing to a leading Omaha business
man Paul Morton said that Omaha was
one OF the cities he meant to include in
his remarks and that Omaha could have all
the money it wanted to borrow with suit
able security. There is no limit to the
money the west may borrow provided suf-
ficient securities are offered Mr.. Morton
wrote that they would like to get a large
number of first mortgages on inside prop
erty.
The officers Of the company wish to
make 1t clear that this money don't have
to be secured through any fixed agency
but that it may be secured direct from the
company. j. w. Mooyer, loan agent of the
company is expected in Omaha next week
at which time he will meet with some OF
the leading real estate men and make
clearer the company's position.

HUGHES ASKS KELSEY'S HEAD
New York Governor Places Response
bility for Insurance Scandals.
REQUEST NOT AS YET GRANTED
Demand Upon Senate, which Body
Places IL con Table, for Time
Credit of state f.
Involved.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. u.-Governor
Hughes renewed to the senate his recon-
nendation of last year that Otto Kelsey
be removed from the office of state superin-
tendent % insurance on the ground of in
competency. Last year the senate refused
by vote of q to "a to remove Superintend-
ent Kelsey.
Governor Hughes bases his renewal on
the recommendation of the report of
Matthew c. Fleming, the governors special
commissioner, who recently investigated
the insurance department, and transmitted
with his message a copy Of Mr.. Fleming 5
report. On motion of Senator Raines, the
message without comment was unanimously
ordered printed and "for the present to be
laid on the table"
While admitting the magnitude of the
work of the insurance department and that
It's task has recently increased, the COVER
nor says that side by side with these de-
partmental activities there grew up waste
full and corrupt methods which scandalized
the country and brought the supervision of
the department with regard to the impor-
tant interests of the holders Of life insur-
ance policies into contempt"
Blame for Insurance Scandals.
From the Insurance investigation of 1905,
says the governor, ut appears that II its
energy had been well directed and the de-
partment has been efficient in the true
sense, most of the scandals which were re-
vealed could not have existed"
The concluding paragraph Of the gov
ernor's message is as follows:
The matter now presented to you in
wolves the credit of the state. The conduct
of the department should exhibit that care,
thoroughness and vigilance which will
guarantee adequate protection to the in
terests of the policyholders and at the
same time Justly insure the standing and
promote the success of the companies bear
Ing the seal of the departments approval.
This, / am convinced, can be obtained only
one way, and that is by having the depart
ment placed in other hands. The interests
of the state require that change should
be made
l therefore recommend that Otto Kelsey,
superintendent of insurance, be removed
from his office"

charges in his church in Wisconsin and
Iowa.
Dr. Fowler was known to a large num-
ber of persons in Omaha. He was in the
city a few weeks ago and came near
being called to the pastorate of Lowe
Avenue Presbyterian church. In fact a
majority of the members at a congrega-
tional meeting did vote to call him. DR..
Fowler preached twice at the church on
a recent occasion and made a most favor
able Impression on many who heard him.
When advised over telephone friends of
DR.. Fowler expressed keenest sorrow at
his death, saying the news was a most
severe shock
Henry b. Payne of Payne, Bostwick &
Co. knew DR.. Fowler as his pastor when
he was a student at Monmouth college
President Wadsworth of Bellevue col
lege and DR.. Fowler were close personal
friends, having been associated in Los
Angeles where DR.. Fowler was pastor of
church and DR.. Wadsworth president of
Occidental college. DR.. Fowler was known
also to many of the local Presbyterians.
DR.. Fowler passed through Omaha re-
Gently, returning from Boulder, Colo
where he preached and to which place he
might have been called. On that occa-
sion he visited for a few hours in Omaha
with his friend, Mr. Payne.
81 thought then he looked very poorly"
said Mr.. Payne yesterday evening on
learning of his death. "I am terribly
shocked and grieved. He was a splendid
man and an excellent preacher. One of
the saddest features of his death is that
he had been so solicitous over the health
Of his daughter, and now he is gone.
am satisfied he felt disheartened over his
daughters i'll health and think this must
have had Its effect upon his health"
