GOVERNMENTRESTS
IN The GRAY CASE

Just before the noon recess, Assist,
u. S. Dist. Atty w. H. Barnett an
nounced in the federal court that the
governments case against c. M. Gray
charged with forging the name of Ju-
Illus Sampson to the REIMBURSEMENT of
a claim which was later filed at the
United States landoffice at Williston
was complete.
AT the opening of court this after
noon Judge w. S. Lauder of Wahpeton
outlined the case of the defense before
the jury. He claims that Gray, who
was in business at Crosby, N. D., as
banker, real estate dealer and land
attorney, purchased a REIMBURSEMENT
to piece of land, which he sold to a
land seeker. 1t appears that a man
named julius Sampson had filed a
contest and the first REIMBURSEMENT
was worthless until this had been
cleared up. Gray asserts that he looked
for Sampson and was unable to find
him and that finally a man giving his
name as Julius Sampson appeared and
claimed he was the man who filed the
contest. For a consideration he signed
a REIMBURSEMENT. 1t is this instrument
which was a forgery for which Gray
is on trial. The government claims
that he signed the instrument.

A well attended and enthusiastic an

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Minneapolis Market.

Minneapolis, Jan. 15.-The Minneap-
oils market displayed considerable in
dependent strength today in spite of
the general shock due to bull liquida-
ton and aggressive bear selling. The
factors back of the rally were the cash
wheat situation which, in spite of a
narrowing in premiums was In excel
lent demand by the mills and also the
larger flour sales that were made on
the break. 1t is well to keep in mind
that the commercial situation Is sound
and that spring wheat dealers still have
the edge on the flour business. With
the indications of general liquidation
DIN stocks and the cotton, the wheat
market will be subjected to this intiu
ence and a conservative position is adj
vised and has been since the first of
the year. Underlying conditions in
wheat, however suggest purchases for
quick profits on the breaks and while
bearish sentiment continues rampant
there win be pressure on the advances
The situation Is debatable and does
not offer clear indications for a long
time position. The rally today was not
convincing that the break is over

Washington, Jan. 5.-Representative
Hayes, of California, who is acting as
a self designated inter mediary be-
tween the insurgents of the house and
President Taft, announced today that
he probably would issue a statement at
an early day. This announcement was
made following a call at the White
House and subsequent informal con-
ferences with his colleagues.
Signs of diligent efforts to harmon
ize the house regulars and insurgents
on the matter of starting the committee
to investigate the Ballinger- Pfnchot
controversy are apparent on every
side. 1t is understood at the capitol
that President Taft will express his
views on the subject and that as a
result an agreement will be reached in
advance of the proposed caucus to Sc

Just how the Massachusetts move

fected reforms and reductions that viii
with in few years be saving the
whole American people between $1O,-
100000 and $15,000,0OO annually has
been carefully figured out by experts
from statement that hasbeen accom-
plished in the frs full years operations
of the two Bay State Savings banks
that have opened departments of life
insurance in accordance with the" au
thorization of the sG-,ings insurance
act Of 1909. Taking into account the
amount OF industrial insurance now in
force in the United States and the re-
suits of the sweeping reductions In
cost which the great companies have
made recently this extraordinary saw
ing of money for the benefit OF the
plain people has been estimated.
The figures of the business OF the
insurance department of the Whit
man Savings bank ana the Peoples
Savings Bank of Brockton, in themselv
e.. even without regard to the vast in
direct benefit that have been cause 4
to all American working people. They
show that on Nov. /. 1909, the two
banks had outstanding insurance of
about $1,000,00O. the policies numbering
2,521. The percentage of lapses in the
year was small for this kind Of BUSH
ness. All the requirements Of adequate
reserves to safeguard the scheme hav
ing been fulfilled, a. surplus was at
hand sufficient to pay to the policy
holders dividend of 1-3 per cent,
the equivalent of one months premium.
This represented only one fourth of the
actual profits, for rs per cent OF them
were applied to special surplus fund
which may be used later .oward the
retirement Of he guaranty funds that
were required to be raised before the
banks could open insurance depart
ments.
Many Massachusetts, people have al
ready had, and many more will have,
the advantage of remarkably favorably

their competition the great industrial
life insurance companies have already
made two great reductions, aggrega-
ting nearly twenty per cent in their
rates and have inaugurated new ar
