CARD FROM Mr.. EDGE.


Editor Eagle The report of the
finance committee as published in The
Eagle virtually charges the commits
sioners of the county with receiving
monies they weresnot entitled to un-
der the law wish to say that for
eighteen months, from Nov, IS, 1908,
to May IL, 1910, I received for serv-
ices rendered the county the sum OF
1915, or fraction more than 5000
per annum. Now, under strict con-
struction Of the law 1t is possible that
a small part of this amount would
have been barred because at different
times 1t has been necessary to have
bridges built or repaired, and the a.
nance committees claim Is that thu
statute does not authorize the pay
ment of members OF the court to have
this work done.
Very respectfully,

dining table was unusually handsome,
laid with cluny lace, having for cen
ter cut glass vase filed with white
carnations and resting on a reflector

HIGHER COST OF LIVING
EXTENDED TO TOBACCO
Fewer Cigarettes and Less Tobacco
to Be Placed in
Packages.

Packages OF all Auerican-made ciaa-
rettes and tcbaccos are being reduced in
size by the manufacturers to make up for
the increased revenue tax imposed by
amendments to the internal revenue laws
made on the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Packages Of several well known brands
which used to contain twenty cigarettes
and sold at ) cents now contain only
fifteen and sell for the same price. The
first of the smaller sized packages have
appeared in the cigar stores Of Washing
ton and the internal revenue bureau has
unofficial information that the so-caled
tobacco trust and independent manufac-
turers. intend cutting the sizes of all its
package goods In every city in the coun-
try Packages Of cigarettes which former
~ contained ten will hereafter contain
eight. Pocket pouches Of tocacco which
one and two-thirds ounces for ; cents
will be reduced to one and half, it is
understood.
Tobacco sellers attribute the new prices
to the increase of the internal revenue
rates under the Payne-Aldrich law. Tn
der the old law cigarettes which weighed
no more than ten pounds a thousand
were taxed at the rate Of j.: cents a
thousand The classification covered all
kinds of common cigarettes. The new tax
on the class is SIS a thousand.
Under the old law the tax on those
which exceeded three pounds per thou
sand, and 81 per thousand wholesale
value were taxed $1.OS a thousand. That
classification covered the better and more
expensive qualities. That tax under the
new law has been increased to $500 a
thousand.

There is dry place on the map ex-

FOURTEENTH STREET FIRE.
IS STARTED BY GASOLINE
Dyeing Establishment, Florists
Shop, House and Grocery Store
Damaged.

John. Hall, who conducted a dyeing and
cleaning business at 211s 14th street. and
James Lewis. who had florists estab
this morning by fire which started in
the dyeing establishment. To the south
of the burned buildings the home Of
James Erwin. owned by d. f. Bucking-
ham. jr.. was damaged to the amount of
about $i.J0. while the show window of
the grocery store of W. w. Benton, north
4of the florists place of buginess. was
Slightly damaged.
Hall estimated the damage to tire con-
.ttents of his place at about $50, more
than 800 OF it representing the loss OF
wearing apparel that had been left to be
cleaned or repaired. Mrs. Caroline North
owns the two one-Story structures that
were practically destroyed, the damage to
them being estimated at about 500.
Lewis estimates his loss at abeuJ $500.
Ns The fire started shortly after O:.;o
O'Clock and caused by blazing saso-
<lne in the cleaning establishment. There
was SO great volume of dense smoke
sent high into the air that persons at a
distance thought a serious conha gra ton
was In progress.
John Hall says he had refilIed the tank
.of his gasoline stove and turned away
TO begin cleaning a suit of clothes when
he suddenly discovered the blaze. So
rapidly did the blaze spread he saws
that he was unable TO do much toward
extinguishing 1t. An alarm was sounded
without delay and firemen were soon
upon the scene
Street car traffic was interrupted until
the hose lines could be carried over
bridges placed across the tracks The
buckingham property was the only one
of the damaged structures that was fully

CONTESTED SHIP POLICY
AGAINST PERILS OF WAR
Insurance Refused on Vessel Cap
tured by japanese During
Conflict With Russia.

An odd tale of adventure. including
as an essential part an unusual insur-
ance risk. is to be laid before the Su-
preme Court of the United States next
month. when that tribunal will be
asked to decide whether an insurance
company is liable on a policy taken
upon a steamer against the pefils of
capture on a voyage from San Fran
cisco to Vladivostok during the Russo
Japanese war.
The vessel in question was the Brit
ish ship NJ. S. Dollar. Late in 1904 it
was desired to send the steamer to
Vladivostok with cargo. In order to
protect the owners from loss by cap
ture. they took out a policy against
this peril with the Maritime Insurance
Company. a British corporation.
The vessel was seized off the coast
of Japan. about four days sail from
VladivOstok. and subsequently was
condemned. II is claimed by the in
surance company that 1t ~ not liable

FELL AMONG THIEVES
ON WAY TO COLLEGE
Colored Man En- Route to Howard
University Loses His Suit Case
in Baltimore.

A young colored man named Albert
Wright, hailing from Chestertown, Md.
landed in Baltimore yesterday on his way
TO- Howard University in this city so
flushed with the excitement of city life
that he fell an easy prey for the Philis-
tines that lie.in wait for, the unwary. ;
Dressed In his best Sunday clothes and
all aglow with the anticipation of getting
an education. Wright headed from the
steamboat wharf for uptown carrying his
suit case and an air Of perplexity.
Where yer goin?' yelled a wharf
lounger of his race.
Don't know, but I'm on my way was
his reply. Upon being engaged in con-
versation, however, by several strangers
he confessed he knew nothing about the
city, but readily divulged his college plans.
He likewise gave -one OF the strangers
his suit case to carry. While he went
into store to buy piece of music fer
lady friend the stranger and his suit
case disappeared.
After waiting an hour for the man with
the suit case to. appear, he went to the
police station and reported his loss. He
said the suit case. contained all the clothes
he had bought for use at Howard Uni
versity this year. The police sergeant
looked him over and then mildly re-
marked that he had better hustle for a
college education.

LOCAL INSURANCE LAWS
ARE ROASTED BY CURRY
Acting Superintendent Says
They Are Most Inadequate
in United States.

Ambiguous and Unsatisfactory are
the words applied to describe the insrr-
ance laws OF the District by Daniel Curry
acting superintendent of the insurance de-
partment of the District In his annual
report TO the Commissioners
The insurance laws of the District of
Columbia are inadequate and in many
cases ambiguous" Mr.. Curry says. Some
of the most essential requirements in the
organization and operation of insurance
companies are unprovided for
THE law as it stands does not provide
for a maximum or minimum capital stock
for insurance companies. with the single
exception OF Are Insurance companies
and there is no law definitely prescribing
what the reserve liability of any insur-
ance company shall be. These are con-
ditions that probably do not exist in any
other jurisdiction in the country where
attempt has been made to provide for an
insurance code.
The law regulating assessment COM
panies is unsatisfactory, and has caused
litigation between the department and
some of the companies transacting that
a number OF companies are doing business
without licenses pending final adjudica-
ton Of a suit in equity.
I'm view of the situation I would re-
spectfuly recommend that the code be
amended SO as to cover these defects. l
make this recommendation mindful of
the fact that the Senate has appointed a
committee to prepare a code of insur-
ance laws covering the entire subject of
insurance in the District of Columbia.
These amendments are urgently needed
to cover an extreme emergency. A bill
should be presented to Congress as early
as pcssible.'s
An idea of the magnitude of the insur-
ance business in the District may be
CLEANED from the figures presented by Mr.
Curry. He says the amount paid for
premiums in 1909 was S125,6GO more than
the entire amount paid for real estate and
personal taxes during the fiscal year
ending June co. 1909.
The taxes amounted to SIS 06S ga GO The
amount paid for insurance premiums was
s.. 191 $3.50. nearly 921z per cent of which
went to foreign corporations.
There was paid In premiums in the Dis
tffct of Columbia. for insurance of all
kinds during 1900 $5,191,9 74.S9. Losses
paid in the District by all companies and
associations amounted to $1.999. 500. 6ti
the year. exclusive of casualty, was $751;
169. 221 .46.
Assets of all insurance compa trans
acting business in the District of Column
bia December 81. 1909. amounted to
So 500. 695 $40 .; liabilities, So 564 954 OS7 80
surplus, including capital, $3.50. al, $50.

Oil Fuel on Shipboard.

From Casters Magazine.
Oil weighs less than co for the same
heat energy, and 1t can be slowed into
considerably less space than coal, weight
for weight, so that the employment Of
oil calls for very much less bunker
capacity than coal Moreover. places
can be utilized for slowing oil which
would not be applicable for holding
coal, SO that considerable saving in
space may be effected by employing
oil as fuel, which may allow Of re-
duction in the light weight of a veS-
sci for a given cargo-carrying capacity.
Moreover: reduction in boiler capacity
can be effected by employing oil owing
to the periodic cleaning Of fires neces-
sary with coal. and the absence of
trimming, which is necessary with coal,
represents another advantage of oil
fuel. All these points contribute to the
reduction of the initial cost of the
vessel, and the Oil fuel has the adj
vantages as regards wages in the rum
ming costs.
+ The cost of fuel is, however, relative
ly such an important question that un-
less oil can be sold at "a price not great
ly in excess of that Of coal-the COM
