Supplementary Rates Come
From Fire Actuary and
Others Expected.

The supplementary schedule giving
the reratings made by the state actuary
after a reinspection of the fire insur-
5nce risks have been made, are being
received by the local fire insurance
agents The supplementary schedules
,hcw that reductions have been made
in the rates as originally announced
ranging from i to % percent, and in a
few instances, where changes have been
made in the risk by which the hazards
are reduced, considerable change has
been made in the rate to favor the pol
icy holder. All of the supplementary
rates have not been received yet and
another bunch is expected from the Dali
las office of the actuary this " eek.
One local agent said Wednesday
morning that while the rerated risks
showed reductions in number of in
stances. the reductions We're not suf-
fieient to change the general insurance
situation as to the high rates now ap-
plying in Ell Paso. and that the rerat-
ing did not offer an adequate remedy
for the great increase made possible
by the new insurance laws.

ONE OF THE CAGES FELL ON
HIS BACK AND HE WAS REN0.
ERED UNCONSCIOUS FOR A
SHORT TIME-LIoN SCARE.

Instilled with fear by cries Of watch
out its the lion,- a large crowd of car
niyal sightseers who were near Eighth
and South E streets last evening about
1O:45 o'clock, hung back for few mo-
ments and allowed Herbert Wicket to
lie in the street in a semi-conscious
condition as the result of injuries sus-
tanned by being hurled from his wagon,
when it was struck in the, rear by
wagon on which were loaded the ami
mails, including several lions, and as
one Of the lion cages was knocked to
the ground, and the animals we're in an
uproar. the crowd naturally presumed
that one had broken loose.
Wickett's injuries are about the back
and are believed to be serious, but prob
ably not to the extent as to prove
fatal. Internal injuries may develop.
After recovering consciousness he was
taken to his home at SO6 North Twelfth
street in the city ambulance.
Wicket had the contract to haul the
animal show of the carnival to the
Pennsylvania depot. He had loaded up
rather early and was on South Eighth
street. He was driving on the street
car tracks. One of the cars struck the
S~1& %H1
throwing Wicket to the ground and
jolting one of the lion cages on top OF
him. The wagon was damaged as was
also the street car, but none of its oc-
cupants were injured.

PROSECUTION OF THE TRUST
MEN WHO ARE INDICTED FOR
CONSPIRACY.
(American News Servicol


New York, June 4.-Dissolution of
the beef trust will be asked before the
Supreme Court of New Jersey on
Tuesday. Prosecutor Pierre Garven,
of Hudson county. will contend for
this because Of the trusts refusal to
obey the order of the supreme court
to bring its minutes of directors meet
ings into the jurisdiction of the court
for use before the grand jury.
His success in the action. and he
hopes to win, would necessitate the
formation of another company to take
over the business in New Jersey. That
would greatly assist the prosecution
toward proving the case of the state
in the conspiracy indictments already
obtained. Under these, eighteen OF
the directors are "fugitives from Jer-
sey Justice" They dare not travel
across New Jersey. nor enter it to
board a steamship at it's piers. or the
moment they do so they will be ar
rested
Three have been arraigned. On
their pleas of guilty they are held un-
der heavy bail.
Since the Indictment of twenty-one
directors of the Natnoial Packing com
pany. the holding company, three
months ago. Prosecutor Garven has
been preparing for the present effort
to dissolve the trust and prohibit its
continuance in business under the
New Jersey laws.
