new YORK IN DANGER.
Insurance Expert Declares Disaster Is
Threatening Probability.

New York, Dec 20.-That New
York City is in danger of a fire disas-
ter greater than that which destroyed
San Francisco following the earth
quake is the assertion of M. s. Tan
nenbaum, one of the insurance experts
called on for testimony before the
state legislative committee, which is
investigating fire insurance rates and
conditions here.
1.-The danger of disaster to New York
is not only a possibility, hut a threat
ening probability Mr.. Tannenbaum
told the committee. "The extent of
the San Francisco disaster was que to
the breaking of the water mains and
that is the danger we face. Right
now we are digging tunnels through
the heart of the city, using large auaia-
titles of dynamite.
ANY day a terrific explosion. as sud-
den and unexpected as the disaster in
the New York Centra1s terminal
yards, might break two or three of
our principal water mains. If this
should happen and then two fires
should break out at the same time,
where would New York be?
New Yorks water pressure is also
too low 1t would be absolutely in
Roadway in certain districts of the
city. If two or three fires should break
out on the night of big wind, like,
for instance, the blizzard Of 1883
nothing could save the city,
Mr.. Tannenbaum brought up these
points in connection with an argument
in favor of the passing of law to
restrict the amount of insurance which
any one fire insurance company should
write in single district.
.eThea state should limit the amount
of insurance that can be written in a
eongested district said he. There is
too much gambling in the fire insur-
ance business. A company capitalized
at 100000 will write S. 100000 worth
of insurance in a congeSted district
and gamble that there won't be fire
there. If the company wins, it col
l lects the premium on the $5,Oo0,000

RICH MAN FOUND.
Jacob Rivers, Who Disappeared
in Iowa, Seen Here.
When Brother Arrives Again
Drops Out of Sight.
HAD LOST SOME MONEY
Believed That This Caused Him
to Leave Home.
Refused to Talk About Affairs
While in Topeka.
HAD LOST SOME MONEY

Jacob Rivers, a wealthy Iowa far
mer, who disappeared from his home
near Grinnell three months ago, is be-
lieved to be in Topeka this afternoon
and every policeman on the beat is
keeping a sharp lookout for the man.
Rivers brother, L. F. Rivers, came to
Topeka this morning and located his
brother at the home of an uncle, but
a few minutes after the man arrived
on the scene, Jacob again disappeared.
The circumstances surrounding Riv-
ers' disappearance from home indicate
that his mind became unbalanced fol-
lowing a series of f1irtations in high
finance. Several years ago Rivers
parents left him a large sum of mon
ey. He invested in some western land
according to an uncle, j. G. Shockley,
OF 556 East Fairchild street, and after
holding the property few years sold
out at an advance of $4,000. He
again specialized in land and the sec
ond sale is said to have netted Rivers
a profit of nearly $50, 200. A year ago
the man invested heavily in q western
development scheme and when the
bottom fell out of the plan, he is said
to have been short nearly $4,000 on
the transaction. This reverse, relatives
| believe, caused the man to lose his
mind and he left his home near Grin
nell
According to L. F. Rivers, relatives
followed the man to st. Joe, then to
Kansas City and few days ago learn
ed that he had come to Topeka. While
here Rivers stayed with his uncle on
Fairchild street. but refused to discuss
the reasons for leaving home.
The Rivers brothers are all wealthy
land owners in the GrinneH country
and according to reports received by
the police L. F. Rivers controls real
estate and business interests conserv-
atiyely valued at 100000.

hundred and twelve Of them secured

will indicate the work they wish to un

possible for the officials of the insti-
tuition to prepare the program in the

| The business course has proved 4
great success. On account of its popu-

| one instructor could handle. At pres
ent but two years of four year course
is offered. If the board of education
decides to add the remaining two yeara
| to the course next fall, another room

means that the problem of accommo

time it will be necessary to put au

The instructors of the high school
and grade schools will receive their
pay on Friday. the 23rd of t~.e month
