tous results affecting fraternal in

OF state insurance departments, from
the action which is taken at the
/ annual conventions of the Two great
organizations, National Fraterna
Congress, August 1918 in Detroit
Associated Fraternities of America
August 22-25, in Atlanta City Should
either or both bodies fail to endorse
the tentative bill for uniform state
regulation which their committees
already have agreed to the refusal
will be regarded as ::eopardizing that
portion of the outstanding 100000.
100000 of fraternal insurance which
has reached the point calling for
prompt attention by the depart
ments.
The viewpoint of the commissions
ers is expressed in statement
made public today by Commissioner
r. f. Folk of Tennessee and Com
missioner James X. Young of North
Carolina in preparing the uniform
bill for greater regulative control
by the states. He said:
The uniform bill is somewhat of
compromise. | am in hopes. how
ever, that societies represented in
the National Fraternal Congress and
Associated Fraternities Of America
will come together in support of the
tentative bill as we have prepared
it. 1t represents a distinct and posi-
tive advance along all lines for fra
ternal societies. ! also will be
much pleased to see the fraternal
system placed upon a sure footing.
The first association to consider
the bill, ! understand, will be the
National Fraternal Congress. The
societies represented in this con.
gress have repeatedly announced
themselves as in favor of adequate
rates. If the congress stands for
the bill am in hopes that the AS
sociatei Fraternities will follow with
similar action. The bill will then
with such suggestions as may come
from those bodies, be considered by
the full committee on fraternal in
surance of the Insurance Commits
sioners' Convention and some def
mite action may be looked for in
the coming convention in Mobile.
a large number of the fraternal
societies already have practically at
tackled the problem and have sue
ceeded in winning their membership
TO a rerating or readiustment of
rates. 1t is absolutely certain that
all societies must be placed in
solvent position, because some So
cieties persistently ignore the plain
requirements of insurance princi-
pies"

HOLLAND IN FEAR OF
ATTACK BY ENGLISH

The Hague, February 9.-The hereto
fore yelled reports that Emperor Viii
liam at one time threatened to occupy
Holland unless this country was placed
in a state of defense against the pos
sible descent of the English, were given
a more definite form in the first cham
Der of the states general this after
noon during a discussion of the for
elgn office estimates for the year.
Baron Won Heckeren urgently Jc-
manded that steps be taken to secure
guarantee of the integrity of the
Netherlands in the event of trouble be-
tween Germany and Great Britain and
give as a reason for such necessity that
a neigh boring sovereign intimated a
few years ago that he would be obliged
to have Dutch territory occupied il
Holland did not place herself in an aGe-
quate state of defense against Great
Britain.
Foreign Minister van Swinderen de-
clared that he was not in a position TO
refute Heck erens assertion unless the
latter explained precisely what was
meant by the words "nelghboring SOW
ereign," and "intimated." He urged
Heckeren. in the interest Of the coun-
try, to be more explicit. The latter,
however. had no more to say and the
matter was dropped without further
light having been shed upon it.

Cy Brown Newspaper Man

Charles II. Grear, the popular editor OF
the Marion Standard, who, by the way,
made fame and somewhat of fortune in
the fourth estate in Birmingham, IS
quoted as saying that he would like to
vote for a newspaper man for secretary
of state, as thai position has in the past
frequently gone TO men of that profess
sion
This pleases the friends of C. B. Brown,
now seeking the office. Mr.. Brown, like
Mr. Greer, began business life as a news
paper man. Also like Mr. Greer he did
this kind of service in Birmingham. He
began as a carrier on the Birmingham
News and went I'D by rapid stages to the
position of circulation manager, regarded
by most offices as the most important
place on the paper.
Circulation gets advertising and adver-
Using gets business, and the circulation
man is in most offices among the highest
priced men of the corrs. Mr.. Brown left
the newspaper TO taxi up service at the
capitol. e.
Another newspaper man in the4running
is Frank y. Julian, in the race for rail-
road commissioner, who has had lots OF
experience, and everybody knows that
Max Hamburger also seeking place on
the railroad commission. for years owned
and edited good paper in the Gulf City
So it is easy for Mr.. Greer to find news
paper men to vote for if he is looking for
them.

Brought About Heavy shipments
From That state to Points
In New England

Cleveland. o.. February 9.-(Special.l =
The Iron Trade Review today says:
The pig iron market has continued dull
and in finished lines there is some diminu-
ton in specifications.
A considerable number of small or
ders for manufactu products has been
received but the total tonnage is small.
Foreign business continues good, and
English prices are advancing. The United
States Steel corporation is in the market
for round tonnage of Bessemer pig
iron for the next three months delivery.
Bessemer continues firm al $40 and there
Is no change in the basic situation.
Car orders placed last week amounted
to 1000 or s0O0 and pending car orders
amount to about $4,000.
The Southern railway is in the market
for 5000 cars of various descriptions.
Owing to the low prices which have
been made on Virginia iron, which in
some cases has been as low as sl5.2o at
the furnace. there has been considerable
movement of iron from that state to New
England
The heaviest single buyer for foundry
iron during the past week was the Cen
eral Electric company, Whleh purchased
1900 tons of special analysis.
The purchase of a considerable tonnage
of basic in St Louis is expected soon.
Pig iron in the south shows some ir-
regularity, and some furnaces In the
state of Tennessee are selling sl3.75 for
No. Birmingham.
The decided weakness which recently
developed in the coke market has re-
suited intprompt action of the coke pro-
ducers in curtailing production. A large
ma jorlty of the Connellsville companies
are operating only five days per week,
and it is expected that operations at
many plants will be curtailed to four
days next week.
Prices are still soft. but it is believed
that the downward tendency has been
checked.
