El Paso. May II.

El Paso May II.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
1 received this afternoon a copy OF
the new insurance rates for Ell Paso
and find that the advance in rates on
business risks range from so 10 sos per-
cent; and in addition 10 this the agents
are required to write all policies on
mercantile risks with the so percent CO.
insurance clause as part of the pol
icy.
was prepared for and expected some
advances in the rates, but it seems to
me that the increase is out OF all reason,
and suggest that it would be wise for
the directors of the chamber of COM
merce to call a mass meeting for the
purpose of protesting against the new
rates created by the insurance commits
sioners. and would suggest that said
meeting pass suitable resolutions look
ing to a repeal Of the law.
Every city and town IN the state of
Texas should, and probably viii, take
steps to have the said law repealed by
the legislature at the earliest possible
moment, and 1 think it would be well
for Ell Paso to take the initiative and
urge that all other cities join in the
fight.
1t is possible that upon close inves-
tigation of the increased expense to the
business communities of the state, that
it may become advisable to petition the
governor to call a special session of the
legislature for the purpose of having
this new insurance law repealed and II
is certainly a matter that justifies
every individual who pays on insurance
to use his or her influence with the
senators and representatives, looking to
the repeal of the law. These matters
can, however. be discussed at the meet
ing suggested.
I have just had a conversation with
D. NJ Payne, president of the chamber
of commerce, in reference to the calling

SUCCESS OF COMMISSION GOVERN
MENT.

MENT.
From Tucson (Ariz) Citizen.
Many FL Pasoans were opposed to
the commission plan of government
when the city's amended charter was
before the Legislature, but every Ell
Pasoan is now praising that plan as the
city has made more progress during the
years it has been governed by the COM
mission plan than in all the years pre-
vious.
Other cities operating under the COM
mission form of government have had
the same experience as Ell Paso. the
ward lines being eliminated and the aid
ermen or commissioners being elected
at large. With one alderman at the
head of one or more departments he
gives his attention to the work under
his Jurisdiction and ny holding the
head of all departments responsible for
the appropriations made annually, the
cities operating under sthe commission
plan get q more business like admins
tration of public affairs. Much routine
business is transacted by each alder
man. independently of the others. and
when they meet regularly the commits
sion, or council as a whole. approves
the acts of the department heads
In Ell PasO, as elsewhere, all pur-
chases for the city are on a competitive
basis and by this means a great saving
results annually.
One of Ell Paso's greatest progressive
movements, under the commission gov
eminent. is the paving of its streets. A
revolving plan" of payment for street
Improvement was adopted by Joseph u.
Sweeney when he was in the mayors
chair, on much the same plan as that

Prepared Slate Was Used.

As a matter of fact, the medium used
nine small states instead of eight, and
al an unobserved moment, while he was
writing his name, the ninth slate, pre-
viously prepared, was slipped from IN
der the large slate and inserted in the
stack of small ones. This trick Is va
ried in many ways. Sometimes the pre-
pared slate Is concealed under rug and
no large slate is used. In another case
the prepared slate is concealed Oh a
manteIpiece near the mediums table. He
stands somewhat behind the sitter, who
is cleaning the states to his hearts
content When the fifth or sixth slate
is cleaned the medium diverts the atten-
ton of the sitter while he substitutes
the prepared slate for the one just hand
ed him by the sitter

NumberIess Tricks.

One might continue Indefinitely in at
tempting to describe the writing
methods that have been exposed from
time TO time by the magicians and ex-
mediums who have written on the sub
ject. He might tell of the slate COW
cred with silk that hides the MESA ge
until the proper time and IS then torn
off and hidden in the mediums sleeve.
He might describe the dOuble-pOinted
the other of nitrate Of silver. in which
a message is written by using both ends
and the one part comes out again after
the slate has been ERASED and dried
Then there is the cameTs hair brush
and the hydrochloric acid with a little
zinc dissolved in 1t. Another trick is
! for the medium to have a tiny piece Of
pencil under the finger nail. A corset
steel. a tiny bit Of slate pencil and a
little wedge often make possible mes
sage on the inside of two states brought
by the sitter and sealed and screwed
and padlocked together
The Rubber Stamp Ruse.
A rubber stamp message concealed IN
the mediums sleeve in a little tin box
covered with prepared chalk will make
itself visible on the slate brought by
the sitter and placed under the me-
dium's table or held vertically above
the table. 1t is attached to q rubber
band that carries 1t back into the sleeve
when the job is done Writing with the
toes while medium and sitter hold hands
is another solution \ message in any
cOlored chalk is selected. written inside
of two locked and hinged states is pro-
duced by duplicate key and a thimbIe
with the different cOlOrs in tiny cray
ons attached to it.
and RIooE
Even a typewriter may be made TO
produce a message while the medium
and the sitter are ten feet away. Black
silk threads and a confederate form the
connection Messages reproduced on
states that are in their original wrap
ping from the stationary store are pro-
duced through a confederate and a hole
in the wall. The list of tricks is so
large as to defy enumeration, and it
is being extended every day. Many OF
them BATTLE even the magicians who try
TO learn them How, then. can the un-
initiated expect TO solve them?
