WHY INSURANCE IS HIGH

The Lovelock Tribune has an edi-
torial on the exorbitant fire insur-
ance rates which Nevada patrons of
the companies have to pay
The reason of this has been over
and over again discussed by The
Appeal. The law relating to the In
surance Commissioner of Nevada is
about forty years behind the times.
If the Legislature would give the
Insurance Commissioner any power
to handle the question the rates
would be reduced, but the honorable
body persistently refuse to grant the
Commissioner any power to act for
the Nevada patrons and the rates re-
main where they were forty years
ago.
The Legislature could save the peo-
pie about a hundred thousand a year
if it chose, but for some reason or
another it refuses to act
This matter should claim the at
tention of the next Legislature.

Reno Sensation
Was Pipe Dream

RenO's murder sensation is a thing
Of the past. After careful investi-
CATION by the officials it has come to
light that years ago the building
which stood over the cesspool in
which the skull and other evidences
of crime were found, was occupied
by physician and surgeon. When
the latter left the city he undoubtedly
rid himself of his gruesome collec-
ton by dumping it into the cesspool.
Later the building was used for a
drug store and in the early sos the
stencil from the cesspool became so
bad tnat the Board of Health order
ed that quicklime be thrown into the
old we'll as a precaution against sick
ness. Until the finding of the skull
a few days ago the presence of the
old cesspool had been forgotten.
Now the above facts are being re-
called by former occupants of the
building and the sensational story
of murder and charges and counter
charges that have been made by the
Reno newspapers develops into
space filler for those papers which
came at a time when "doin's were
scarce.

WAS IT CASE
OF SUICIDE
Bottle Floating in Truckee River
Conveys Farewell Message

Either a message from the dead OF
practical joke in questionable tastc
was discovered yesterday when three
lads found a message in bottle that
had been lodged in driftwood on tnc
the south bank of the Truckee, near
this city.
The note was dated Reno, Nevada,
January 16, 1910, and was signed by
"Francis Drake, Oakland" 1t was
addressed "To Whom 1t May Con-
Germ" and stated briefly II have
jumped into the Truckee River
Goodby to my friends, my love to
my mother
Seymour Glazier and Gel McCar-
thy, playing along the river bank,
discovered the bottle and drew it
from the water One of the boys was
about to cast it into the stream again
wnen he noticed scrap of paper in
side. He removed the cork and dis
covered the note intact, preserved
from the water.
Fish and Game Warden Thomas
was notified and he brought the bot
tie and note to Reno. The Oakland
police were notified of the matter
that they might look up that end of
the affair
Reports that a body had floated
past Reno face downward and attir-
ed in khaki suit of clothing reached
here about the middle of January,
but subsequent search failed to To-
cate it. The authorities are inclined
to believe the note is hoax.
They point out that there might be
reason for a person in mid ocean to
cast a message on the sea, that it
might float ashore, but such an action
in stream like the Truckee seems
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
