in the Reno: rate case. The proceed
ings will take place in the postoffice

traffic bureau of the merchants ex
change through its, attorney, Seth
Mann. 1t attacks. the rates of the
Southern Pacific from this city and
Sacramento 10 points between. western
Nevada. and Ogden, Utah, as .anreason :
ably high. The: commission is asked
to: order a general reduction Of the
tariffs. sS: - (.
Figures are set forth. in the com
plant to support the charge that the
per ton per mile rate over this section
is greater than in any. other part of
western America. It>is also shown tha
under the prevailing tart ifs the COM
pany is charging a greater sum for a
shorter haul than for a longer distance
over the same line IN the same direc-
ton.
The Nevada and Utah territory has
for the most part. been served from
San Francisco and Sacramento, which
by reason of their position on the
water enjoy special terminal rates.
THE schedule, as now enforced by the
Southern Pacific, tends to remove this
trade from the coast and the merchants
have united in their protest.

ORDERS MERCHANTS
TO QUIT INSURANCE
Commissioner Wolf Serves No
tiee Upon Local and Los
Angeles Associations

!. State Insurance Conlnis ssiener. Myron
w Wolf, who has just returned from
the southern portion of the state on a
trip of investigation of. insurance con-
ditions,. stated yesterday that he had
notified the Los Angeles Retail Grocers'
asseciation and the Merchants ex-
change either~to quit the fire insurance
business or suffer the penalty of being
arrested, under the state insurance
laws. <
Commissioner Wolf also served no
tice on the San Francisco association
that if. it was engaged in the fire in
surance business time and trouble
would be saved by Withdrawing from
that field: Wolf states that these as
sociations have no legal right to do
business in insurance. but believes that
their violation of the law is the result
of. a misrepresentation.
The insistence of the Los Angeles as
ISOLATION. in continuing in Business
after being warned is shown by the
fact that. although Wolf has been. in
with j. F. Spalding,
secretary Of the. association for many
weeks he was forced to go TO the
southern city with. his attorney and
make formal demands upon the. asso-
citation officers that they at once close
their insurance fund department.. The
case will be carried into the courts
Whether the: local ASSOCIATION Will fight
the ruling: of the commissioner remains
ito be. seen.
:: The Retair Grocers.. association went
into: insurance. business. about two
years ago for the purpose of protect in g
its members against the ifisliranea
rates which went. into effect in Cali
fornia soon after the earthquakes. Be
cause of the strict state laws regard
ing Insurance companies, requiring that
100000 in csh be deposited with the
state treasurer before any business
could. be written, the association had
much. difficulty in raising the money
required. s:..s-s.
The Los. Angeles company adopted a
unique method. however. which was
not. only successful in securing the
money required, but also sufficient to
meet any loss caused by fire to. any of.
the. members. The retailers associa-
tlon~was able to charge half the regu-
lar rates imposed by other insurance
companies; pay all losers and accumu-
late surplus. 1t is believed that the
same conditions apply to the LOCAL as
sociation.

DAME RUMOR KILLS.
G0DDESSfS
Insists Mrs. Marguerite Deere
!. and Miss |. Gfundel Died
From Effects of Fete

Mrs. Marguerite Deere, who repre-
scented America in the civic and indus
trial parade held Tuesday pf Portola
week, is alive, well and Indignant Miss
Iantha GrandeI. who. was a beautiful
Californian: in the same parade, is. as
alive, as well and fully as indignant.
Both Dame. Rumor has laid low. but
falsely.
Fully a week ago mouth to mouth
story began to circulate through the
city that told;S with peculiar definite
ness as to detail, and in. convincing
way generally, that Miss .Grundel, who
impersonated California on the Portola
committees float; had died from pneu-
.monia two days after the eevnt.
Linked with this report was the as
sertion that Mrs. Deere had passed
away as conclusively, succnmbing to
the gold paint that covered her face
and arms as she. sat enthroned. in
beauty as America. The stories grew,
both in their field of activity and their
individual size. A woman was found
who Lad talked to woman who. had
been at Mrs. Deere's wake.
A man was encountered who had
chummed with. man VINO had been
one of the pail bearers. Dozens of te1e-
phone calls regarding the tales, kept
the operators at the newspaper offices
vexed and busy Mrs. Deere, at her
home, 9S Harold avenue, received con-
dolences from friends. and was so act
i've answering the telephone and as
surfing her friends that she was still
alive that she began to suffer. from
fatigue:
Are you alive. Mrs. Decree" one
doleful voice inquired over the phone:
~ am yet alive Mrs. Deere am
swered firmly. s: ::
..Yet?'' the doleful voice, in which a
tone of awe. had crept. yet. or again o.
Miss .Grundel,' too, though she wore
no gold paint. nor any sort of paint;
for that matter, when she portrayed
California. was dogged by persistent
inquiries concerning her health. and
finally she united yesterday with Mrs.
Deere in Issuing statement. to the
newspapers In which the declaration
is made positively that both goddesses
are preserved to us, and quite ready
to aid the Portola committee. and de-
light the Portola public at another fes-
tivaf.
So don't ring up Mrs. Marguerite
Deere or Miss Iantha Grundel with in
quiries as to their health. 1t does not
please them.
