PLAN SAFEGUARDING OF
s7,oo0,oQp,0o0 INSURANCE
Closer Supervision of Fraterna
Companies Sought

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-A practical
plan for safeguarding the $1,000, 900, 900
of fraternal insurance now outstanding
in the United States has been formu-
lated and soon will be presented to all
state legislatures with the approval of
the state department of insurance.
The announcement was made here
today following a conference of the
National Association of Insurance COM
missioners and a committee represent
ing the fraternai societies.
Heretofore the fraternals have been
exempt from state regulations imposed
upon commercial companies organized
for profit, but need for closer super
vision has been shown and the present
movement has the National Fraternal
congress and the Associated Fraterni-
ties behind it.
The insurance department of this
state will ask the joint committee of
the fraternal societies to consent to a
few minor amendments to the bill, and
it is probable other state departments
will take similar action.
No serious disagreement is antici-
pated in any state.

chief subject of discussion at the meet
ing of the cabinet Saturday night was
the trade treaty between Germany and
the United States growing out of the
formers tax on potash production.

ment by M. II. Davis, commercial ad-
wiser OF the state department, who

WARRING TONGS AGREE
TO TRUCE FOR WEEK
Merchants Committee May Ar
range Treaty in New York

NEW YORK. Dec. 1S.-Notices of Il
weeks truce between the warning
tongs in Chinatown was posted on the
bulletin board of the quarter today,
and there is hope that Il permanent
peace treaty soon will be signed.
A special committee of merchants,
headed by Ye Ying Yung, the Chinese
consul, began negotiations last night.
The merchants. it is said, backed their
arguments with an ultimatum of the
Chinese Business Mems association of
Hong Kong. This threatened an en-
barge on all supplies from home, if the
tongs not only of New York but other
cities did not mend their ways.
The tongs here quarreled originally
about gambling privileges and have
since kept alive the trouble by private
feuds. The two now at odds are the
Ong Leong tong and the Society of the
Four Brothers.

URGES THAT COMMISSION
PLAN FOR STATE LIBRARY
Head of Institution at SaCra-
ment0 Outlines Plan

SACRAMENTO, Dec. Estate Lii
brarian j. L. Gillis has advised the
Sacramento delegation in the legisla-
ture not to request an appropriation
this season for state library building,
but recommends that a bill be intro
duced for the creation and organiza
ton of a commission to take up the
matter and two years hence to report
to the legislature complete plans and
specifications for the building.
That such a bill will be introduced
seems certain. The state library has
outgrown its quarters in the capitol
and the space is needed for other de-
partments now occupying rented
quarters.
