DECATUR SCHOOLS CLOSE.
Interesting Programme at the High
 School.

Decatur, May 2S.-(Special. )-The following was the programme rendered tonight at the closing exercises of the Decatur public high school:
 Invocation, pr. John s. Parks.
 Salutatory, Miss Emma DePoister.
 Song, My Own United States" the class.
 Reading, Soul of a violin." Miss Waunetta Gordon.
 Instrumental solo, Midsummer Night S Dream" Miss Jluia Lesser.
 Monologue, "The Sweet Girl Gradu- ate," Miss Mabel Reason. Song, 70 Beautiful Violet" the class.
 Glass Farewell" Miss Marce1la Col Her. Address to the graduates, the Rev. Dr. J. w. Newman. Song, the class
 One peculiar feature of the com~ mencement this year was that all the graduates were girls. An alarming condition of educational matters in the Decaturs is that none of the boys of tn past few years have been receiv- ing a higher education. It has grown to be a custom with the boys of this city to leave school when they pass through the seventh or eighth grade, and if it were not for the girls the graduates of the high schools here would be few and far between. The class of graduates tonight was as follows: Miss Emma DePoister, Miss Waunetta Gordon, Miss Julia Lesser, Miss Mabel Beason and Miss Marcella Collier
 The closing exercises of the New De- catur public schools will take place in New Decatur at the Payne theatre on the night of June 8.

FRANK N. JULIAN
 WANTS NEW LAWS Makes Written RecOmmenda-
 tion to inc Governor
SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS
Fire Marshal, Lower Municipal Taxes and Protection Against Agents Re
 bates Among Principal Things
 Treated By State Secretary.

Montgomery, May 2S.-(Special)- )-In d report in print, which will be sent to the governor in a few days, Frank N. Julian. Alabama commissioner of insurance, urges the adoption of new features of the Ala hama laws, as follows: Provision for fire marshall; lower municipal taxes; bet ter protection against rebating and other dscriminations of agents; repeal of the present live stock insurance laws; re- form of the deposit act so that any good bond may be available; repeal of special charters and supervision of fraternal com panies
 The neew of fire marshal law runs back for years, and there has never been a commissioner who did not feel that something dong this line was necessary. Under the present laws it is almost inn possible to convict of arson. The same thing may be said of the demand for pro- lection against agents who discriminate either by rebating or giving special con tracts. There has been for long time a demand for better oversight of the fra ternal companies which is now regarded as a vital part of the development of the life insurance business in the state
 Specially interesting, ho"eNei, e'io ei-O suggestions about the municipal taxes, which are now and have been serious htndrance to getting down the rates MT. Julian believes that a normal flat rate, plus a percentage on premiums will be better for the towns and acceptable to the companies, as it will pay only when business is done, no more than any place could ask for he thinks. Special charters are bad, thinks Mir Julian, in that they gre given special privileges and cannot be taken in with the others as they should be in the matter of supervision. He also feels that deposit of any good bonds ought to give the right to do business, if they are in such amount as to make the state whole

lows a company with only $650O to begin business in the state, is in no sense ade- quate, MT Julian thinks and he is urg- ing that the law be repealed. He frankly tells the governor that he will not license single company to do this business save after being ordered to do so by the courts
 The demand, also made here, for better control of surety and miscellaneous com panies, is regarded as important in that there has long existed need here. MT
 Julian expects to urge upon the legisla- ture every one of these acts, believing that it is necessary to the business as well as to the protection of the state.
