NEED NEW INSURANCE Law
Taft Tells the Most important
Trustees in the World.
Congress Might Enact Model For
the District Of Columbia, to Be
Followed by the States.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft,
addressing the annual meeting of tbs
Association Of Life Insurance Presi'
dents, held out no hope for the enact
ment of Federal law to govern tho
companies. He advised the executive
officers to bend their efforts to obtain
uniform legislation in the States.
"You are here to secure uniformity
in insurance legislation throughout
the country" said the President.
"You are very sorry that the United
States may not find in the Constitu-
ton, the right to render uniform the
insurance business throughout this
country. Certainly the Supreme
Court seems to have settled that
question. And your only recourse,
therefore, is to secure such common
action by the States that the result
will be similar to single Federal act
controlling the business.
The only function that the United
States can perform is to pass model
law in the District of Columbia, and
there show to the world what Con-
gress, aided possibly by scientific
commission, shall believe to be the
best kind of insurance law. l shall
be very glad, in so far as any power
lies in me, to encourage such action.
81 have been on the bench and at
the bar, and / have ruled that men
must read their policies to know
what they contain in order to have
an understanding of what the con-
tract is, and / am conscious of never
having read any of the policies which
have taken out, because l trusted
the man who explained it to me. But
Congress, by model law, can effect
very great purpose, and if there is
anything | can legitimately do to con-
tribute to your object, | shall be very
glad to do it, !"
President Taft referred to the in
vestigation of life insurance as an
retrospective Investigation into the
business of the country.
ct did show instances which
aroused the business community to
TIE need of housekeeping, said
President Taft. II have no doubt you
are glad of that examination, and it's
results, which was the vindication of
the general honesty and integrity of
American business men.
Il have no doubt that the result
may have been legislation that was
somewhat extreme. The public some
times wants things done with
thump, but in the end the pendulum
will swing back, and what is reason
able will prevail.
In the Presidents audience were
CoZen or more Governors of States,
and nearly 200 leaders of the life in
surance business in the United States.

BOYCOTT ON MEAT FORCES PRICES DOWN.
Cleveland Butchers Promptly Respond Campaign


Cleveland factories has spread so fast,
not only in this city but throughout
Ohio, that the first effect came in the
announcement of a straight cut of
two cents on certain kinds of meat.
Further reductions are expected. The
meat dealers are alarmed, and Sc
cret meeting of the Butchers Protec-
tive Association was held to devise
means of combating movement that
threatens to become national in scope.
Many of the dealers say their or
ders have been cut in half in the past
two days, and they fear some will be
forced out of business. Over 10, 900
men in Cleveland factories have al
ready pledged themselves to abstain
from eating meat for at least thirty
days, and it is believed that fully
100000 people in this city and SUBJ
urbs will be in the vegetarian class
before the week ends. Other cities
of the State are following the idea,
and Senator Williams suggestion that
the entire State boycott meat till
Easter Sunday is being taken up with
an earnestness that means business.
Big meat dealers here and the agents
of the packers say If the boycott
reaches New York City 1t will surely
force decided drop in meat prices
throughout the entire Central and At
lantic States

BANKER GOES TO PA|s0N
Convicted Of Misrepresentation Of
Chicago Bank Funds.
Considering His Age, Walsh Has More
Certainty of Life Sentence Than
Morse-He is the Older Man.

Chicago, Ill-John r. Walsh, man
Of millions and severty-two years old,
| left here for the Federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He is to
serve a term of five years for misap-
plying the funds of the Chicago Ma
tional Bank, of which he was presi-
dent at the timo of its failure three
years ago. Considering his years,
| Walsh may, it Is pointed out, with
more certainty than Charles w.
Morse, feel that his sentence is for
life.
The start for prison followed de-
NAL by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals of his petition for
a new trial on the ground of alleged
misconduct by the jurors who found
him guilty, and the issue Of an order
committing him to prison. The final
chapter in the financier's long fight
against prison term is summarized
as follows:
10 A. M.-Appeared at his Office in
the Grand Central station and con
Quoted business as if nothing of i'm
portance was impending.
11.40 A. M.-Summoned to a hotel,
where he heard over the telephone
that his petition for new trial was
denied
P. M.-Heard read the mandate
committing him to prison.
5.51 p. M-Bade his wife, daugh-
ter and intimate friends goodby at
his Calumet avenue home and started
for the station in an automobile.
6 P. M.-Left with two guards on
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
road for Leavenworth. Kan
BY coincidence, Walsh started to
prison exactly two years after a jury
in Federal Judge Anderson's court
brought in its verdict of guilty.
The Appellate Court room was
crowded when opposing counsel
ranged themselves for the final battle.
Walsh, who had won his way from
newsboy to millionaire broker and
dominating figure in more than
dozen big corporations, and who was
now almost surely facing prison, was
not in court. Free, under heavy
ponds, and closely watched by Federal
sleuths, he was engaged until the last
minute in attending to his manifold
business affairs.

GOVERNORS ALIVE TO COST OF LIVING AS A PROBL
In Some States investigations Already Are in Progress-
Hadey Advocates Back to the Soil" Movement
Anti-FOod Trust League Growing.

Washington, ID. CAS- reflected by
the views of the Governors now here
in conference, the high cost of living
is most acute question throughout
the entire country. In some States
investigations to ascertain the cause
already are in progress.
Governor Harmon of Ohio is inves-
tigating the condition through a spe-
cial commission. Governor Hadley of
Missouri will take the subject up with
the Legislature when 1t next meets.
Governor Harmon said he was not
prepared to say what the direct cause
of the high cost of living is, but he
recognized the injury done by great
combinations.
"Out our way" said Governor Had
ley, 1--WE are agitating back to the
soil movement that will bear good
fruit"
The Governor says he keeps three
cows now.
II had chickens, but had to give
them up when l became Governor;
always have had garden. Every
body who can should keep chickens
and make a garden. That would help
amazingly"
Governor Weeks of Connecticut be-
l1eVeS that conditions have been
brought about largely by the people
themselves.
"The luxuries of few years ago
for the rich seem to-day to be the ne
cessities of the wage Garner" he de-
clared.
Governor Ansel of South Carolina
thinks the problem too deep for ready
solution The people of his State
haven't felt the pressure as keenly as
in the North, he believes, but with
even the Governor paying fifty per
cent. more for his living than several
years ago, it has brought the subject
very near to the head of the State"
Governor Curry of New Mexico
says that the cost of living isn't af-
fecting the Southwest Sin the same
proportion as the crowded East" He
looks upon the operations of combin-
ations as largely responsible for the
trouble.
Governor Kitchin of North Caro-
lima recognizes that there are thou
sands of contributing causes for the
high cost of living, but the tariff is
the Governors chief objection.
Governor Cromer of Alabama
points out that the cotton growers of

Columbus, Ohio. - A resolution
calling upon the people Of the State to
abstain from meat for the next sixty
days and to subsist entirely on diet
of vegetables, nuts and fruit for that
time was introduced into the House
by Representative Tidrick.
Chairman Williams, of the High
Price Committee, was fairly swamped
with mail from all parts of the State
containing suggestions as to possible
remedies for the situation, many of
which were deemed worthy of consid-
Grafton.
One of the most popular ideas in
the rural districts seemed to be that
the millers had abandoned the old
custom of taking one-eighth of the
grain as toll and we're now asking
twenty-five out of every sixty pounds
of wheat as the toll for grinding.
Many women representing women's
clubs pointed out that lack Of instruc-
ton in cooking among the young
women of to-day is responsible for
the added cost of living by waste and
extravaganza in many households.
Senator Williams held long con-
ference with the Attorney General re-
garding the situation.

GIRLS LEAP TO DEATH,

Philadelphia, Pa.-Scores of work
Ing girls on the top floor of four
story factory building at Chancellor
and South American streets were
thrown into wild panic when fire
broke out there. 1t was the shirt
waist factory OF Joseph Chachkin.
Although the building had a fire
escape, the rush of the flames through
thin wooden partitions made the girls
forget this in crazy dash for the
street The men among them lost
their heads amid the shrieks and
cries for help.
Wire netting at windows were torn
away and girls and men threw them
selves four stories to the street. 9th

The scene of the fire was just acrosR
the narrow street that borders tha
rear wall of the churchyard Of old Sc,
Paul's.
Men on the street below got rub
Der wagon covers, and held them taut
at the edges, and undoubtedly saved
several lives thereby, girls and men
leaping into them, the force of the
fall being thus broken.
Some one threw a fire rope from an
upper window, and five or six girls
slid down this, dropping from height
of a story or so.
Dzaphar Howell appears to have
been the first man on the street to
note smoke coming out of the fourth
story windows.

eyed terror poured out of the narrow
hallway. Men tried to climb over the
heads of the girls and fought each
other to get out first.
