INSURANCE PROBE ON
COMMISSIONER BEEDL INVESTI-
eating FIRE RISK COMPANIES.
VIII Compel Concerns to Pay Additional
Fees for Writing Policies Other
Than Charter Calls for.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 1S.-[Special. |
A thorough investigation Of the class
Of insurance being issued by the various
fire insurance companies of the state has
been started by Insurance Commissioner
George Il. Beedle. In making an appli-
cation to the department for permission
to do business i'll the state, the company
states the character it will write. 1t
tranSpires, however, that afterwards
other classes of insurance, such as ma
rine, and tornado, are written while no
extra fee is deposited with the depart
ment for the writing of these various
kinds of insurance. The department has
so many inquiries about the companies
that the investigation has been started.
After the first admission in the state
of the fire insurance companies, there is
usually no statement required OF the
companies as to the class of business
pursued when application is made at the
end of the year for continuance of the
certificate. The investigation will de-
termine how many companies in the
state handle various kinds of insurance,
such as fire, marine, plate glass, tornado,
employers liability insurance, steam boil
er and fidelity.
1t is believed as a result of this in
vestigation, that law will be passed
requiring the companies to file reports
showing the class of business being
written.

THE COURT OF LAST RESORT
Will Pass Upon the Railroad Rates
:iM, .,..- Cases.

North Dakota coal rates cases
against the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500 railroads have gone to
Unoted States supreme court for final
settlement. Appeals by railroads from
the decisions of the North Dakota
courts have been filed in the supreme
court in Washington to test the va
lid:ty of the North Dakota law of
1907, under which coal rates were es-
tablished. Following the passage of
this law, three railroads continued to
charge the old rates on shipments of
coal within the state. Attorney Gen.
eral MeCne brought suits against
them. alleging that the cid rates were
about 33h: per cent higher than the
new legislative rates. The state won
IL the supreme court of North Dako-
ia, securing an injunction against the
railroads.
The roads have insisted that the
North Dakota rates are Enthusiastically
sQo%S, 'ml1ch lower, in fact, than rates
prescribed by Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. They carry the case to the Unit
ph States supreme court on the ground
that the state has no right to make
rates, and also that the new rates are
confiscatory.

The Revolt Against Tammany.


The mayor of New York city. like
the president of the United States, and
the governors Of some of the states,
serves four years. This is the year he
is elected, and for that reason Tam
many and anti-Tammany politics are
bubbling. Notable happenings Of the
current campaign have been the for
nation Of the committee Of one hun
dred. the letter Of Judge Gaynor scor-
ing Police Commissioner Bingham and
the dismissal! Of Bingham in conse-
quence, the Gaynor boom for mayor,
the Roosevelt boom for mayor. which
was speedily nipped in the bud by
Colonel Roosevelt himself; the veto
Of the Tammany building code by
Mayor Mcclellan and the discussion
Of Mcclellan for reelection.
The committee of one hundred is
generally regarded as the successor Of
the Citizens union and is expected to
furnish a meeting point for the fusion
Of all anti-Tammany bodies. The can
didacy Of Justice Gaynor is peculiar
in that he has been discussed by both
sides. Early in the campaign he SEEM
ed the probable choice Of the indie
pendents. Later he was talked Of as
the Tammany candidate, and it is said
that the tender Of the nomination has
formally been made to him. McCarren.
the Democratic boss of Brooklyn. has
opposed Gaynor and is believed to be |
behind the suddenly launched boom
for a third term Of Mayor Mcclellan, |
who has somewhat r%efurbished a bad
ly frayed popularity by his recent dra-
matte veto Of the rotten building
code.
The element Of uncertainty in the
lnti-Tammany camp is the Republican
organization, which seems bent on a
nomination. If this attitude
S persisted in it practically assures
lie success of the Tammany ticket
through the division of the opposition
'orces. If, on the other hand, the Re-
,ublicans fuse with the committee of
me hundred and kindred bodies there
$ a fair chance of beating 'Tammany.
IS the revolt against it among Demo-
is unusually strong.
