YOU'RE A GO0DRISK, Ell?
WELL, GET IN YOUR SQUAD
Life Insurance Companies Have a
New Plan for Grouping
Policy Seekers

NEW YORK, May 20.-A new system
of life insurance, involving a change in
the methods Of judging whether pol
icy seeker is a good or a bad risk. is
about to be adopted by all the big COM
panies of the United States, according
to statements at the annual meeting
of the Actuarial society of America, in
session here.
People who seek policies will not all
be judged alike, as, more or less, they
have been judged in the past Each
man, according to his method of live
lihood or the peculiarities of his fam
lily history, will be classified in a "spe-
ciap' way. His calling and ancestry
will put him accurately and scientific
ally in one of about las special classes.
For each of these there will be a differ
ent premium.
The healthy naval officer, 70 r exam
pie, will pay a different premium than
the healthy saloon keeper. The policy
seeker who has had two recent deaths
of his ancestors from tuberculosis will
have to pay different premium from
the policy seeker whose family shows
a similar record with regard to cancer
or epilepsy.
Statistics for these las special risks
have been prepared during the past
year by a committee of the chief actu-
aries of all leading life insurance COM
panies, using reports on 100000 cases
as basis for the investigation.

BEER BOYCOTT ON;
POLICE ON GUARD
C. L. U. Declares All Local BreWS
Unfair and Requests
General Tieup
BLUECoATS WATCH PLANTS
Saloon Keepers Asked to Give
Support to 500 Men
Now on Strike

A boycott on all beer made in Los
Angeles, and the subsequent detailing
of police squads to suppress any vio-
lence that may take place in the vi
cinity of the brewery plants, gave the
brewery workers strike a serious as
pect last night.
All local beer was declared unfair by
the Central Labor council last night in
retaliation for the action of the Brew
ers' association in prociaiming the open
shop following strike of the brewery
employees.
In declaring the local beer unfair the
labor leaders announced they will call
on all saloons and liquor dealers to boy
colt the local brew, will ask all friends
of organized labor to refrain from
'hoisting the schooners" when the lat
ter are freighted with any of the amber
fluid manufactured in Los Angeles.
Following is the resolution, which it
was announced had been adopted unan-
imously by the Central Labor council,
seventy-fVe organizations being repre-
sented:
Whereas, The brewery owners of
Los Angeles have declared for the open
shop and have made preparations to
fight organized labor; and whereas or
ganized and unorganized labor has been
the greatest SuppOIlST VI tic VI N lCS
home product; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Central Labor
council of Los Angeles hereby calls on
all labor men in Southern California
to abstain from the consumption of Los
Angeles-made beer until such time as
the Los Angeles brewery, the Mathie
brewery and the Maier Brewing COM
pany come to terms with organized
labor; be it further
HRPSOlUpd That similar rp0ueSt be
made of all saloon keepers and liquor
dealers of this city and vicinity; and
| be it further
"Resolved, That the Central Labor
council, through its affiliated unions,
pledges its entire moral support to the
men now on strike"
No conference was held yesterday
between representatives of the two sides
to the controversy. At labor head
quarters it was asserted that no union
men had returned to work in any of
the plants and that there is no imme-
diate prospect of settlement OF the
| difficulty.
The brewers, already having declared
in favor of an open shop, did every
thing possible yesterday to secure nom
union help and with fair success. They
| have announced that they will take
| back their old employees at the wages
previously paid them, but will refuse
hereafter to recognize the union.
Yesterday morning the few union
men left behind when their fellows
walked out, followed the strikers, they
having agreed to remain to do neces-
sary work only so long as the brewers
refrained from employing non-un1on
labor.
The firms so far involved in the
strike are the Los Angeles, Maier, East
Side Mathie and Anaheim breweries,
the Wieland agency, the local agency
of the San Diego Brewing company and
the local Rainier agency. Practically
800 men, former employees of these con-
Germs, are idle.
Details of police We're sent out from
central station to prevent any disorder
in the vicinity of the brewing plants.

o FUDGE! CHANGES GIRLS
JUST LOVE THE CONVECTION

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Misses
Chang, daughters of the new Chinese
minister, are the latest converts to
fudge" The perfume of the joss
sticks, so grateful to Oriental nostrils,
which daily floats from the handsome
residence occupied by the Chinese en-
voy and his family is now mingled
with a seductive odor easily Identified
by an American school girl. 1t is
fudge"
Last week the Chinese maidens broke
stheir record by carrying on the fudge
making process three times in one day.
The girls have a governess who visits
them daily to instruct them in the
English branches. In common with
most Chinese they are 'diligent students
and have made astonishingly rapid
progress in their studies. AS soon,
however, as the governess leaves the
order to break ranks is quietly given
and one by one the girls file TO the
kitchen, where the fudge" making is
speedily under way.

PAINTED INSIDE AND OUT
WHEN HE FELL IN ELEVATOR

NEW YORK, May 2O.-Feeling too
balmy to watch his steps, Jeremiah IT..
Calvin, 32, Of 504 East One Hundred
and Twenty-frst street, walked into
the sidewalk elevator of a piano fac
torv at One Hundred and Thirty
fourth street and Southern boulevard.
He grabbed at two barrels of mahog-
any varnish as he was gping down.
They toppled and went with him,
emptying themselves over him in the
passage.
When he reached the Morrisania po-
lice court, having had his head patched
at Lebanon hospital, all that was Wis
ible of him had turned into rich, an
tique red.
II admit, your honor said Calvin,
that 1 was we'll painted inside when
1 struck the hole"
"If 1 let you go, what will you do to
get that stain OFF," Magistrate Harris
asked. :,
"Wen, I took it without permission" 4"
Calvin answered, "and l think l
ought to give it back to the piano
"How about the inside paint?"
"Ah, that's different" said Calvin; Il
paid for that myself, but it's worn off
now"
"If you will promise not to put on
another interior coat for while L VIII
let YOU off," said the magistrate.
Calvin grinned assent and started in
search of a benzine bath.

COMES TO
GOVERNOR LOWRY.
Had Been Gradually Veal enlng for
Some Days.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 19.-At b home
of his granddaughter, Mrs. d. W. Buie,
Gen. Robert Lowry, x ex-governor of the
state of Mississippi and M of its
staunchest and truest citizens, before.
during and since the war between the
states, at $50 tonight passed peace
fully away. While Gov. Lowry had
been gradually weakening for some
days there were few outside his imme-
date family and circle of acquaint-
ances who were aware of his condition,
and the news of his death came to the
general public as a profound surprise.
Assembled at his bedside were his
daughters, resident here, Mrs. William
Henry and Mrs. Robt. E. Wilson, with
their children, who had expected the
end throughout the day.
For more than two years Governor
Lowry had been an inv aid, and was at
times in a very critical condition, but
his fine constitution and the devoted
care of his family and PHYSICIANS served
to ward of the expected final physical
collapse. He was in a critical con-
di4ion whilst on his visit to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bate, in New Orleans last
spring, and at that time he was at
deaths door, but rallied, as he had
done before, and some weeks later was
able to travel here. The intervening
time he had spent here and at Brandon,
his former home, having lived here for
the past three months.
A son, DR.. John Lowry, and daughter,
Mrs. Bate, of New Orleans, were no.
tifed of his condition, and were eN
pected at midnight tonight, and upon
for the funeral, which will be heid at
Brandon, where his loved wife and de-
parted children lie buried.
At the time of his death Gen. Lowry
was commander-in-chief of the Missis-
sippi division. United Confederate Vet
Grams, as he had been for the past five
votedly followed and loved than he by
that loyal and fast-thinning circle.
There is a general desire on the part
of public men who have discussed the
matter to have the remains lie in state
at the State Capitol and also to ar
range for the members of the legisla-
ture to attend the obsequies in a body
and this will probably be done.
Greenwood's Business League is two
doors west of Lee Arterbury's Real Els
