Texas Negfoes Have Desperate Forty
Eight Hour Battle With Troops

! Palestine. Tex-At least sixty ne
groes and twenty white men are dead,
according to the latest estimates, fol-
lowing a pitched battle between ne
/ gro farmers, in which at least 300
blacks took part and three companies
of state militia from Houston and Gal
weston and detachment Of state
rangers. The race riot between the
negroes and whites ragged continuous
ly for forty-eight hours.
Throughout the night the negroes
and whites exchanged shots. At dawn
the soldiers prepared to rush the ne
gro stronghold.
Cautiously soldiers and citizens felt
their way through the woods for al
most mile before a shot was fired
Suddenly coming upon a group of in
trenched negroes the soldiers were
I fred on and three hit This was
signal for general assault. On four
sides shots rang out. The negroes
fired desperately. knowing that quar-
ter would be denied any caught.
The surrender of the blacks ended
the battling. 1t is difficult, members
of the posses and officers of the troops
say. to estimate exactly the number
of negroes killed Early today the
captured negroes were brought to
Palestine and camp formed for them
on the outskirts of the village, where
they are guarded
The feeling here is very high. and
for a time 1t was feared that attempts
would be made to lynch the negroes,
but the presence Of the soldiers and
sheriff's deputies is believed sufficient
guarantee for their safety.
The problem of what to do with the
captured negroes who survived the
war of determination is one that is
puzZling the authorities.

1t was simple performance, this ar
rest, and carried out with all the alb
sence of theatricals and a display of
calmness that was remarkable under
the circumstances. IN word, it was
all that staid. stolid Scotland Yard
could desire.
Chief Mccarthy OF the Quebec pro-
vincial police, assisted by Chief Denis
OF tbs Dominion police, put Dr. Grip
pen under arrest on the deck of the
Montrose at Father Point after he had
been identified by Inspector Dew as
he was waiting for pilot. Two min

pen had long been infatuated with,
was put under arrest in her cabin,
still wearing the clothes of boy.
Inspector Dew stood face to face
with the man he had let slip by him
in London and was certain that the
man disguised as Rev. John Robinson
was his quarry. Feeling that he had
now indicated himself and feeling the
most real happiness in a year. In
spector Dew continued on his way to
Quebec with his prisoners. There they
will be arraigned before Judge Panet

them to London. 1t is likely that In

Denis of the Canadian provincial po-

off to the steamship In a lifeboat
rowed by four sailors. Crippen was
smiling and promenading the deck
with Miss Leneve and DIR. Stuart, the
ships doctor. He asked the doctor
why so many pilots should come, to
which Doctor Stuart replied they were
probably returning to their homes,
being out of turn.
The supposed pilots walked along
until they passed where Crippen and
his paramour were with Doctor Stu

look at Crippen and Miss Leneve he
gave the preconcerted signal and the
constables made the arrest and
brought the couple down to their own
stateroom. where they are now con-
fined with Inspector Dew.

SHOULD Be GIVEN

insurance Commission Outlines
Desired Legislation.
LIKES. THE NEW YORK LAW
Mutual Insurance Companies Are Or
dinsrily Organized With View to
Furnishing Insurance at the
Least Possible Cost.

Madison.-That the commissioner OF
Wisconsin should be given power to
supervise, control, and take charge of
the liquidation Of all delinquent in
surance corporations within the state,
in a manner similar to that provided
by the New York law, is a measure
recommended by Insurance Commits
stoner George E. Beedle. in his annual
report on local mutuals. issued.
Similar provisions are in force in
other states, and their operation is
declared to have been very successful
and satisfactory al % the interests
of the policy holders and stockhold-
ers- The law relating to banks in this
state contains similar authority to the
commissioner of banking.
The temptation in the management
of mutual companies to eliminate as
many members as possible in order to
divide up a large mutual surplus,
which under the present law belongs
only to the members who at the time
have insurance policies in force, is
emphasized by the commissioner, who
urges legislation to remedy such a sit
uation.
Mutual insurance companies are or
dinarily organized with view to fur
nishing insurance to the community
at the least possible cost. For this pur-
pose members are willing to allow a
part of the savings and gain of the
haya, 60
to enable it to withstand excessive
losses. Almost every policy holder is
willing to make this contribution pro
vided there be reasonable assurance
that 1t shall be maintained for that
purpose and not go to fatten the peck
cts of such as might secure the con.
troll of the company only for the pur-
pose of wrecking 1t and distributing
the accumulated assets among them
selves. This would be effectually pre-
vented by the law which before re-
ceived the favorable consideration of
the legislature and the enactment of
such law will inevitably benefit not
only all mutual companies but sound
insurance in general" says the re-
port
