Forty Millions In

Exists IN Utah

CANVASS among local repre-
n sentatives Of the life insur-
~ ance companies doing business
a. in this state brings out the fact
that life insurance is on II more salts
factory basis in this state than ever
before. Agents say the public gencr-
ally is becoming educated to a more
rational view of life insurance. a bet
ter understanding of its purposes and
benefits. Erejud!ces prevalent in the
past no longer exist. and those who do
not believe in this form Of insurance
are now comparatively few. The I'M
proved methods now In vogue are the
results of conditions as noted in more
liberal contracts. field supervision by
energetic and intelligent agents. and a
more rigid supervision from the home
offices, due to observance of compre-
hensivc laws that of late have been
passed by state legislatures.
Agents say Utah has made good
start in statutory regulation of the
business, and the establishment of an
insurance department, mainly through
the efforts of the Life Underwriters
association of this state. which has

PULLMAN RATES REDUCED
Commerce Commission Will Have Thanks
of People.

Washington. The interstate com
mprcc commission in q decision holds it
to b unjust and unreasonable for the
Pullman Company to charge equally for
the upper and lower berths in its sleep
Ing cars. Diferential charges are or
lered in several instances and Pullman
rates from Chicago to the Pacific coast
are ordered reduced.
The commission ruled that the present
Pullman rate OF $12 from st. Paul to the
Pacific coast was too high and ordered
it reduced to $40. The present rate of
SIP for an upper berth is ordered re-
duced to $3.50.
A short nights journey, the commits
sion holds, should rot carry a rate of
more than $50 for Il lower berth and
$1.1O for an upper. The rate of 50
which the company has maintained from
st. Pau to Fargo, \. D., 242 miles, is
ordered reduced accordingly.

for dealers in cocaine was advocated by
DR.. Henry Beates, Jr, president of the

aminers, in an address delivered before

Alcohol. Murder is penalized with cap
ital punishment he declared. ITO kill
the soul of a man and allow his BODY to
live is worse than murder. This is what

FEARED HARM TO ROOSEVELT
Fanatic Arrested, but No Weapons Were
Found on Him.

Porto Naurizio, Italy.-The Italian Sc
ret service police, who are guarding Miss
Carew's villa, where the Roosevelts are
stopping, arrested an Italian named Ma
gagno, who, upon the prcteNt that he
was carrying a letter from a correspond
ent, endeavored to force his way into the
villa.
The man was searched, but no
were found or him. Immediately wild
rumors were spread in Porto Mauirzio
that the prisoner had followed Colonel
Roose at from Naples with no friendly
Intentions.
M~agagno explained that he desired to
have audience with Roosevelt in order to
get a job as valet when he became pres
ident again. A letter written in Eng
lish found on Magagno bears out this
statement. The police then wired to
Bologna to ascertain if the man has a
police record. They believe he is de-
mentcd or a harmless crank similar to
those who annoyed Mr.. Roosevelt dur
ing his tenancy of the White House.

BUILD 2 %BATTLESHIPS
80 DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR AND "a
REPUBLICANS AGAINST.
Naval Bill Carries S12s,o37 ,eo2, or So,
100000 Less Than Asked-Hobson
Wanted Three Battleships.

Washington.-By a decisive vote OF
162 to 10, the house Friday authorized
the construction of two battleshlps to
cost Sc 5000, 600 each. Thirty-three Dem
ocrats voted for two battleships and
t~wenty-four Republicans against the
proposition. This action was taken just
prior to the passage of the naval aPpro-
priation bill, carrying $12S,O 37 ,6O2. This
amount is about SIS, OOO,O 900 less than
was recommended by the navy depart
ment. In addition to the battleships, the
bill also provides for the construction OF
two fleet golfers and four submarine
boats.
AS amended on motion of Mr.. Fitz-
gerald of New York, the two battleships
and two fleet Golfers must be constructed
by firms operating under the eight-hour
law.
The committee on naval affairs nae
reported in favor of authorizing two bat
tleships. Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee, offered an amendment providing for
only one battleship, while Mr.. Hobson
proposed an amendment providing for
three. Mr.. Hobson contended that three
battleships would give no increase, but
would provide only for the ordinary de-
probation in the naval force. By an al
most unanimous vote the house rejected
this proposition.

LEAVING PULPIT
FANATIC SHOOTS EDITOR
ASSASSIN MAKES ESCAPE
Victim Was in Act of Shaking Assas-
sins Hand When Killed-Congrega-
ton Fled to Shelter.

Pittsburg, PA sermon on martyr
dom, in which Frank Skala, an editor
and prominent mission worker, had de-
clared himself willing to lay down his
life for the Christian cause, was followed
by his assassination in a highly sensa-
tional manner and by the shooting down
also of a fellow church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries were
leaving the little Congregational church
III Woods Run, a suburb. A raggedly
dressed and cOllarless man pOked his
way through the crowd, and when lie
was but a step behind the leaders he
pressed a revolver to Skala's head and
fired twice. Skala fell dead. Gay, who
threw up his right hand as if to ward
off the weapon, was struck in the thumb
2nd a second bullet was buried in his
head. He fell unconscious across the
body of his colleague.
For a moment-for several moments
the assassin stood over his prey in
amazement at his deed, tiourishing his
revolver While the panic-tricken crowd
fed to shelter.
The mailman was Jan Radowitch, a
character known to most of the mission
LOT his SIlllIcSS udOICS1 SIONc1AS uAOSS
and radical opinions. A moment before
he had meekly read from Juvenile leaflets
in the Sunday school led by Skala; pre-
viOusly he had sat IN a back pew of the
church during the regular sermon, and
at the commencement of the services
Skala had shaken his hand i'll greeting.
The church people were too frightened
to grab the assassin, and after flourish
ing his weapon and stamping his foot on
the bodies, he made off dOwn the rail
road tracks and disappeared.
None of the church workers believe
there was any method in Radowitch,s
madness. He was a man who bad lived
at the Salvation Army barracks and as
L charitable parasite elsewhere, but was
always at variance with the teachings of
his Christian eaders. 1t is doubtful if
he had ever seen Skala before today.

Washington.-Speaker Cannon again
showed his teeth in anger and defiance
to the house when a combination of in
surgents'' and Democrats defeated the
provision in the legislative bill apprO-
priating $4,000 for the maintenance OF
the speakers automobile. When the
vote of III to 1872 was announced, the
speaker took the floor and defed the
"insurgents' to depose him from the

With intense interest the roll call was
listened to, in order to determine how the
insurgents were voting, as it was real
lied their attitude would settle the out

the announcement provoked assent on
the Democratic side.
