ture our insurance laws were modi-
fled and readjusted to such an extent
that we have now, in my Judgment.
one of the best insurance codes of any
state in the Union. Under these laws
the department of insurance mas been
able to accomplish much in the way of
regulating and supervising the insur.
ance business of the state in the In
terests of the insured, as we'll as to
the ultimate interest OF the insurance
companies themselves. The insurance
business is upon sounGer basis than
at any other previous time in the his
tory of our state and the people who
invest in insurance can now feel as
sured that their investment Is q safe
one. There are few recommends
lions to be made to the legislature at.
this time. There are some, however,
which occur to me. In order to meet
requirements of the insuring public
certain forms OF insurance not now
authorized by our law should be per-
mitted, as, by example, automobile
insurance and flywheel insurance.
We supervise carefully fire insur-
ance companies doing business in this
state, but many Of these companies
sreinsure part Of their liability in other
companies not authorized to do bust.

authorized companies should, be-

ARRAY OF ATTORNEYS
FATHER SEEKS CUSTODY
OF HIS INFANT son
Sister of Deceased Wife Wants
the Child

fathers fight for the control of
his child occupied the attention of
Judge Graham yesterday. Ernest E.
Worner, owner of a prosperous house
decoration business, applied to the
court for letters OF guardianship over
the estate and person OF his q months
old son John. He was resisted by
Mary McGeary, sister of Worner's de-
ceased wife, who has brought the child
up from shortly after its birth and
who is tenderly attached TO it, Miss
McGeary bases her claim to the Gus
tody of the child upon the ground that
her sister before she died exacted a
promise from her that she would al
ways care for the boy. Worner admits
this. but demands the right to care
for his own son, irrespective OF the
dying wishes of his wife
Il want my boy" he insisted in
court yesterday, nursing and fondlfng
the child as he spoke. 'I love him and
he loves me. Why should we be kept
apart? My business is prosperous and
| am we'll able to provide proper care
for him can employ a woman to
give him attention"
Worner was asked IL he would not
compromise the dispute by living at the
house OF his sister in law along with
his son. This he refused to do. as
there is dispute pending between
Worner and Miss McGeary regarding
$4,000 worth of property left by Mrs.
Worner. Judge Graham took the mat
ter under submission.

SULLIVAN FlAYS
LEAGUE LEADERS
Leonard and Backus Roundly
Scored at Board of
Works Hearing
Attorney Says Organization Is
Sincere, but Questions
Faith of ACcuserS

John B. Leonard, an engineer, and
sociate of Leonard, were f1ayed unmer-
cifully yesterday afternoon by Attor-
ney Matt I. Sullivan in his argument
before Mayor Taylor in connection
with the demand of the good govern
ment league that the members of the
board of public works be removed for
permitting inferior work in the new
infirmary building.
Sullivan said that the league was ac-
tuated by good motives, but he ques-
toned the motives OF Leonard and
Backus, who. he said were responsible
for the charges having been brought.
After the case had been argued by
Rev. Charles N. Lathrop and Attorney
Milton U'Ren for the complainantS, by
Attorney Sullivan for the contractors,
Condor & McGlynn, and by President
Charles Day of the board. of publlc
works, it was submitted. Mayor Tay-
lor said he would prepare a written
opinion.
U'Ren argued that the proceedings
were not attack on the honesty of
the members of the board. Messrs Day,
McGilvray and Casey, but upon the
manner in which they had discharged
their duties. He contended that the
specifications called for a sectional
area of .1S6 square inch of reinforcing
material, but that only .S7 had been
used, that being the sectional sarea of
the Clinton wire fabric placed in the
building. He argued further that equal
strength had not been acquired by us
ing fabric instead of twisted rods.
U Rem argued that the test showed that
only half the required strength had
been secured. He said further that
Tharp's letter to the board would
show that the plans and specifications
We're not followed
we contend that the board of pub
lie works deliberately and knowingly
permitted inferior work" said U'Ren.
Events prove that the architect was
overruled by the board of public
works. From the way they are con-
structing this building the members of
the board are not capable of handling
the business of the city. Either they
have not the ability or are not giving
their time to the work
President Day said that the board had
no excuses to make or apologies to
offer, as it had been guided by its ex-
perts. No comparative test had been
made because of the cost and the de-
lay. He explained that Tharp and the
contractors were not always on the
best terms. He defended the work of
the board.

club early Sunday morning following

Judge. Golden took the case under
submission. but stated that he would
probably give judgment for Nichols
This is not a gambling debt said
the judge. The fact that Schmidt
gambled the money away afteraborrow-
ing 1t in no sense affects the original
transaction"
