BREAK HARMONY IN
INSURANCE FIELD
Surplus Line Companies Write
Fire Policies Below Rates
of Board

A new element has entered the local
fire insurance field to disturb the har-
mony prevailing among the board
companies. The new element consists of
the surplus line companies which have
their head offices in the eastern states,
Canada and Europe. They have come
into the San Francisco field and have
cut the rates below the high figures
maintained by the board concerns. AS
a result a large number of insurance
brokers have DETECTED their business
to the surplus line companies. This
has brought forth sharp protest from
the board companies, which have an
agreement with the brokers' that they
are to write business exclusively for
those corporations which are members
of the board of fire underwriters of the
Pacific.
1t is stated that the surplus line
companies have begun to cause the
board companies considerable annoy
ance. The matter has been taken up
with the brokers exchange and that
organization has addressed warning
to its members. This warning reads
as follows:
CAS- it is important that all members
shall be informed of property owners
whose policies are Cancelled for nom
payment of premiums. the executive
committee Of the exchange requests
that you will send in the names of
persons so delinquent to the manager
of the exchange.
'.The executive committee also again
calls your attention to your broker s
pledge, and especially to that portion
relating to the placing Of insurance in
companies not members of or affiliated
with, the board of fire underwriters OF
the Pacific. Complaint has been made
that some members have been placing
insurance in what are known as sur
plus line companies, at less than full
rates and without Offering the insur-
ance to board companies. Conviction
of this deviation would cause the mem
bers' name to be dropped from the
brokers list"

Wife of Harry T. Lally Causes
His Arrest When Children
Are Starving

That he shut off his wife and family
from obtaining provisions in order to
get rid of his wife's friend who was
visiting them was the declaration made
by Harry T. Lally Jr., son of II. T..
Lally. the wealthy and prominent
wholesale plumber, who was arrested
yesterday by the officers of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Child
rem.
According to the arresting officers OF
the society the two children were in a
half starved condition when found. The
wife had complained to them a few
days previously of there not being
sufficient food in the house and an In
vestigation disclosed that Lally was
allowing the munificent sum OF 10
cents day for the support of the
three members of his family. or the
little food he took home. his wife said
he ate the greater portion himself and
effectualiy prohibited her from getting
any more by notifying the tradesmen
not to supply her.
For five days the woman managed to
hold out and then in desperation ap-
pealed to the authorities for help. On
account of the prominence and wealth
of the Lally family young Lally was
given an opportunity to change. his
tactics; but yesterday his wife made
another plea for aid and as an inves-
tigation disclosed pitiable condition.
Lally was arrested Immediately.
Asked the reason for his act Lally
replied: My wife has a friend stop
ping at our house whom I did not want
there. / asked her to get her out but
as she refused to do so I told the
tradespeople not to supply the house
with provisions"
Mrs. Lally sued for a divorce In No
vember on the ground Of cruel and in
human treatment, but the case was
withdrawn without going to trial, the
relatives of the two people having

Wants Republicans to Vote

Mr.. Editor Echo:
On November the 3rd we may hope
will see the greatest republican rally,
Leavenworth was ever the scene.
1t is expected that every republican
will show his devotion to party and
patriotism for his country in turning
out and casting his vote for VIM. H.
Taft for our next president and thus
perpetuate the Roosevelt policy.
The greatest of our presidents,
Abraham Lincoln warned the American
people against the trend at his time of
OF the danger of great aggregation of
capital. How true was this remarkable
mans foresight, for just now the money
of this great nation is held in the hands
or literally controlled by less than ten
score vastly rich men. President Roose-
velt's policyis to limit the power of these
vast aggregation of the wealth of the
nation, for serfdom is the logical conclu-
sion under these abnormal conditions.
Republicans come out and use that
most valuable privilege, your ballot.
Respectfully, w. w. Elmer

INCREASED ASSESSMENT
Cruising Timber Land Doubles the Assess
ment Valuation in CheIan County

Although only about one-third of the
timber land in the county has been Of
fcially cruised, over one hundred
thousand dollars has been added to the
valuation. The following is taken from
the records of the assessors Office:
Total acreage of timber assessed in
Chelan county for the year 1908 is
226,913.40 acres.
Out of this amount the assessor, M.
P. Spencer has had cruised 80, 428.3o
acres, which show the following re-
markable increase in valuation.
Acreage cruised 1908, 8o,42S.39.
Number feet standing timber on same,
474,325, 900. Assessed value for 1908,
$216, 10000.
The assessed value for 1907 of the
same property without cruising show
the following: 80,428.39 acres. Es-
timated value for 1907, $102,04G.
1t will be seen that the county has
gained by cruise of but one-third OF
the timber land in the county,
$114,250.O0.
Total cost of cruise for 1908,
$1,627.00.
