New York Fire Insurance Probe
Brings New Revelations.
GOOD PRICES FOR MEASURE
Foreign Sompanies Put Up More
Money and Get Through legisla-
Concerns.

NEW YORK. March 2l.-Out of the
mass of promising generalitieS which
has characterized the fire insurance
inquiry started in New York
last Friday, there came today
testimony that three foreign rein
surance companies had paid hand
scmely to have the so-called Grady re-
insurance companies bill passed by
the legislature at Albany in 1904. The
bill was passed and is still a law,
Notwithstanding that it was opposed
by domestic companies who subscrib-
ed $4,000 for the purpose and placed
il in the hands Of the late George +.
Sheldon, enc time president Ct the
Phenix Fire insurance Company OF
Brooklyn.
The incidents were described by ~
II. Ccrrca, vice-presideht Of the
Home Fire Insurance Company, in
which opinion the bill in question was
bought through" the legislature by
the foreign companies. Just how the
fund raised t. combat the measure
was spent was not made clear, ex-
cept that Mr.. Sheldon used il in en-
p!oying counsel. for travelling ex-
penses and ''fcf entertainment in going

MORE BUSINESS LESS POLITICS

A leading supporter of Governor
Brown for reelection, in discussing
the election Saturday said
The campaign and the election are
now matters of history 1t is too late
to remedy errors, and there is moth
ing to be gained either by lamenting
defeat or decrying the victors. We
naturally feel sore, but we are all
very much alive, and the thing for
us all to do now is to turn our united
efforts and enthusiasm into channels
that will tell for the upbuiding of
Brunswick.
IF the enthusiasm and efforts OF
both the Brown and the Smith clubs
could be rolled together and made to
tell for Brunswick commercial and
industrial progress the next few
years would see a marvellous local
development. Let us all be patriotic
enough to do this and Brunswick fu
ture will be more than assured.
We have plenty of energy here
but we don't want to expend it all on
politics.

The effect of the concluding tes-
timony in the $4,000 libel suit of
Samuel T. Crane against Chief of
Police John T. Sullivan in the SUI
perior court this morning, was to
badly shatter that of the defend
ant, as we'll as his star witness.
The attorneys began arguing the
merits of the case before the jury
shortly before noon.
The witness upon whom Chief
Sullivan depended chiefly to make
out his case was j. J. Parker, a
real estate dealer. who swore to
having gazed from his window in
the sixth floor of the Columbia
building and seeing Mr.. Crane be-
low .hurling invective at the po-
lice.
On the contrary, Ettoxuey Crane
testified that, together withJ. E.
Arnett, in the same building, they
had experimental to ascertain IL
such a feat were possible.
Together with the wall beyond
the window and an additional ledge
beyond this, making distance Of
over three feet, 1t is a physical i'm
possibility for anyone above to
have seen me at the time it was
alleged / made the inflammatory
remarks" testified Mr.. Crane.
Mr. Arnett stated he could not
see in that relative position, and,
although he also looked out upon
the crowds on the day of Novem-
ber 5, he could not by looking
down, see Mr.. Crane.
Another point Of the chiefs tes-
timony which was vigorously as
sailed was his statement to the ef-
feet that at several gatherings of
the l. w. W., Attorney Crane had
been the leading speaker.
Mrs. Crane was called by the
plaintiff to testify regarding his
conversation In the chiefs office
the night Of the arrest. She was
not permitted to testify on the

the love of her father, and said
that she would go in spite of hell
as often as she pleased.
l pleaded, begged and scolded
her, to no avail. The girl was of
age and could not help her ac-
tions. This caused hard feelings
between us. About the last of
October Rosie was called to attend

on returning home at noon mama
told of the conditions that sur
rounded Rosie's employment, l be-
came angry and demanded that

diers' home, to which he would
give his consent when he was
ready to start.
With Hathaway and Major Boyd,
commander OF Reno post, we visit
ed Elliott In the county Jail. We
suggested that he consent to go to
the soldiers home In order to se-
cure his release. We found him
very resentful and wholly indis-
posed to accede to our plan. He
said that he was a victim Of a
conspiracy and would not be run
out of Spokane. He suspected at
first that we were sent there in
the furtherance of the designs that
his enemies had against his liberty
but on our assurance that such
was not the case he appeared more
at ease. With that the matter was
dropped for the time being.

We should do for her or she for us
when she was grown to womanhood.
She was all we had in the world
and Elliott, through the loss OF his
own children, was particularly
wrapt up in the little one.
In the course of years we spent
$40O to give her lessons in music,
bought her three pianos and did
everything to make her happy.
Papa was very anxious to have
Rosie become q musician. She was
always loving and obedient, but to
our sorrow as she grew older we
found that she was more or less In
fluenced by her companions. This
tendency caused redoubled care ON
our parts to watch her, but even
then all that we could do was with
out effect at times.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-
Either Tommy Burns has gone
back, or Bill Lang, the man over
whom he scored questionable de-
cision in Sydney, N. s. W., yes
terday. has improved so much that
he will have to be seriously reck-
oned with if he comes to this coun-
try in search of matches with
heavyweights of the second flight.
That Burns has gone back rather
than that Lang has forged to the
front, is the most logical conclu-
sion when Burns mode of life
since Johnson gave him his beat
ing Is considered.
Burns has been on the 60 almost
constantly since he lost the cham
pionship year ago last December,
the stage occupying the greater
portion of his time and his stable
of horses the balance. Before the
match with Lang was made he
weighed over 200 pounds, which
is more than he ever weighed in
his life. While Burns Is not given
to dissipation, he loves the easy
life. and the flesh piles up on his
chunky frame at great rate;
therefore, with year and a half
of loafing, it is easy to conceive
that he has taken on flesh that
he cannot take off, and as conse-
quence has lost his speed. In Sep
tember 1908, Burns disposed of
Lang in six rounds.
Owen Moran, the little English
man. who is matched to fight
Tommy Mccarthy before Jim Grif-
fins club the latter part of this
month, went up to Boyes Springs
today for three or four day rest,
after which he will settle down in
training quarters, probably at the
s aelRock house. Owen was ac-
companied to the springs by Tom
my Deakin, who helped prepare

over El326 Sprague avenue, and the
fact that Rosie knew them was ..rst
made clear to me when one night
we were returning from a neigh
bor's and she suddenly ran from
my side. l did not know what had
become OF her at the time. but
'afterward l learned tnat she had
sdodged up the stairway leading to
the rooms of the two officers. On
learning Of her relations with the
officers ! entered a vigorous pro-
test but had no influence over her.
She said that she was then Of age
land the officers had asked her to
fgo with them and that she proposed
to 20 this regardless Of the conse-
quences.
When Mr.. Elliott learned of the
conduct Of Rosie and the policemen
1t almost broke him up, He had
been sober for ii years. but imme-
diately went and got drunk and
vowed that the officers would let
the girl alone or there would be
'trouble.
Mr.. Elliott wanted Rosie to come
home from a neighbor's where she
had been working. She said she
would, but later refused.
Elliott had been drinking some
that day, and on coming home got
a butcher knife and went back to
the neighbors. Rosie had gone by
