AERoNAuT MISSING
No Trace of BeIIamy Who Assembled
Four Days Ago.

London April 17.-No news had
been received of Bellamy the French
aeronaut, who went up in a balloon
from the Crystal Palace three days
ago. The most exhaustive inquiries
have failed to yield any trace of the
aeronaut. His balloon was last seen
two days ago over the mouth of the
Thames, after which it disappeared
in the clouds over the North sea.
Hopes were entertained that he might
make a landing in Holland, but it is
now believed that he has been lost.

SEVEN CENT BREAD
Increased Cost of Flour Will Cause
Higher Prices.

New York, April 17.-With -four up
forty cents barrel in the local mar
ket and the prospects apparently good
for a further rise, New York city now
is facing the possibility of bread at
seven cents a loaf. The Ghetto of
New York has already in some degree
felt the effect of the buoyancy of the
Chicago wheat pit. Six cents loaf
is the price now charged by some bak
ers, while the proprietors of hun
dreds of others declare that they can
not continue selling at five cents
much longer with bread -four of the
better grades costing from 81 to 1920
barrel against $3.50 to $685. few
days ago. The influence of the rise
in wheat on the -four market is feared
by all bakers. large and small, and
many of them do not hesitate to pre-
dict a rising scale of flour prices be
tween now and June, in any event.
Seven cent bread either through an
out-and-out advance in price or an
equivalent shrinkage in the loaf
seems inevitable.

ASIDE WITHOUT CHANCE OF
HEARING.

OLYMPIA, Wash, March g.
Especial 1.-The initiative and referen-
dunn is dead in Washington for two
years at least, the bill having been
killed in the house yesterday without
being given a chance for a hearing.
Dcninan. of Spokane, lin a spirit of
fairness. asked that the bill be given
place on the calendar where it could
be considered before final adjourn
ment His request met with sud-
den motion to Indefinitely postpone the
measure, and before anybody had time
to realize what was being done the
motion had prevailed. Not even was a
roll call recorded.
The referendum bill was modelled
after the Oregon law, and was intend
ed to cover conditions in the state per-
haps better than even the Oregon law
covers conditions in the neighboring
states. The political machine of the
state has been bitterly fighting the
measure, and it's sudden defeat yester-
day was the occasion for considerable
qualification. The Washington Grange,
the Washington Federation of Labor
and other organizations, have kept rep
resentatives here in the interest of this
measure as well as one or two other
bills of interest to the people. Espe-
cially, have these representatives
fought the killing of the direct pri-
mary law by amendment at this ses-
sion
The direct primary seems to have
gotten the supreme court judges too
far away from the corporations, and
an effort is being made to return to
the old conditions. Strange as it may
seem the effort to repeal or amend
the direct primary law out of existence
has been abandoned, and the efforts of
the machine have been directed against
the election of supreme court judges
under the law. A bill is now almost
sure TO become law, taking away

INSURANCE COMPANY ACCEPTS
$4,000 AND DISMISS ALL
PENDING SUITS.
Mutual Life People Take Small Pro
portion on Claims Amounting to
100000.

NEW YORK, March 6.-President
Charles A Peabody, of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, which has settled
suits aggregating nearly $600O,OOO
brought against its former president,
Richard A. McCurdy and others, makes
the following statement with reference
to the settlement:
Proposals looking to the adjustments
OF litigation pending against the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company and GER
tain of it's former officers and others
have been under negotiation for sew
eral months. They were refereed by
the board of trustees some time ago
to a committee which carefully exam
med the situation and decided that in
the controversy on the terms decided.
This decision of the committee was ap-
proved by Joseph H Choate, the COM
pany's special counsel in the litiga-
ton, and by James McKeen, general
counsel of the company and was duly
reported to the board and approved.
"The result of the settlement is that
all of the claims in dispute by and
against the company have been settled
ard released, and the company has re-
ceIved the equivalent in value of the
sum of $S15,0OO"
1t is understood that of the $4,000
which the Mutual has accepted, $780,
GOO was paid in cash. The balance
was represented by claim against the
company for supplies delivered to it
amounting to a trifle over $65,000. The
company acknowledged this as a valid
claim and held up it's payment only
on account of counter claims against
those to whom it was due.
The suits included actions against
Former President McCurdy, his son,
Robert H. McCurdy, son-in-law, Louis
A. Thebaud, and Charles H. Raymond,

for long years furnished the company
with stationery and supplies.
The members of the committee on
expenditures also were sued, actions
being brought against Robert Oily
plant James c. Holden, Charles T..
Miller and the executrix of Jacob Ho-
bart Herrick.
The suits were brought for the re-
covery of money alleged to nave been
obtained improperly or improperly ex-
pended. The largest Of the claims
against any one individual were those
against Mr. McCurdy, from whom the
Mutual sought to collect $3,471,341. This
included claims for additional salary
Ct $4,000 a year paid to the president
from 1901 to 1905. with the knowledge
il is alleged, of only two of the trus-
tees OF the company.
Joseph Fl. Choate, who has ap-
proved the settlement, was retained in
1906 as the special counsel of the Tues
dale conlIni'toe, upon whose report
these suits were begun. This commit
tee was named by the trustees OF the
s.utual in October, 1905, following the
investigation of the life insurance
companies by the Armstrong commit
tee, while Richard A. McCurdy was
still president of the Mutual 1t con-
sisted of W. H. Truesdale, president
OF the Delaware, Lackawanna & Yves
tern; Effiingham B. Morris, president
of the Girard Trust company Of Phila-
delphia, and John w. AuchinclOss.
Stuyvesant Fish, then president of the
Illinois Central, was added to the COM
mittee later, but resigned in February,
1906, before the filing of the commit
tees final report, as did Mr. Morris.

from the action of the direct primary
law the choice of the nine judges
whose duty it is to adjudicate the i'm
portant litigation of the state. The bill
provides that conventions shall be held,
in the old-fashioned way, for the sole
purpose of nominating candidates for
the supreme bench, and that the names
on the ticket shall be placed as nom
partisan, as now provided. The effort
to take the judiciary back to political
manipulation is meeting with sertnu-
Gus opposition, but it seems apparent
that the legislature will pass the bill
as it now stands. There is a chance
that Governor Hay will veto it.
Sell Liquor On Sunday.
The big hotels in the cities will like
1y take advantage of the bill now prac-
tically passed, allowing the sale of Il
quor on Sunday to guests in dining
rooms operated by the hotel manage
ment. The bill provides that a state
liquor license commission shall be
created consisting of the governor,
state auditor and state treasurer, with
powers to grant permits for the sale
of liquor in dining rooms only, and TO
guests of the place, only. The license
provided for can only be granted to
man holding a regular saloon license
for the bar in the hotel but no liquor
can be served at the bar. The move is
being worked in connection with the
criminal code and the local option law

at least SO clerks next week to en-
roll the bills in the legislature and keep

bills have all been saved to the last
of the session. The criminal code,
covering an entire volume, the educa-
tional code, but slightly shorter, the
military code, also voluminous, the
local option bill, the game laws, and a
dozen other lengthy measures are still
pending in either house or senate Ev-
cry word of these bills has to be trans1
cribed in longhand, after final passage,
and the task is one of arduous labor
Good penmen are required, and the
work is progressing very slowly even
now. AS the last bit of business has
to be cleared up before the legislature
can adjourn, the last two days will be
strenuous, not only for the members
but especially for the clerks in charge
of the records. The committee clerks
will have finished their duties and the
stenographers will be packed up ready
to go home. But the penmen will be
just getting really busy. A score OF
good penmen are to be found about the
capitol and they will all be impressed
Wednesday and Thursday.
Appropriation Bill Delayed.
The appropriation bill will not be
