The latest idea in the insurance Inc
vacation weather indemnity. This
UNIQUE scheme comes from England,
where it is being widely exploited and
is gaining popularity among pleasure
seekers who do not wish to take
chances OF having their vacation trips
to the country or watering places
marred by unexpected showers. The
insurance companies that have adopted
the plan agreed, for substantial pre-
MUM, to pay vacation takers certain
amount of money for each day that is
unpleasant while the policy is i'll force,
usually week. Chicago insurance
men who have talked to the Daily News
about the innovation do not think much

Declares Charge False.

Denver, Colo, July 29.--'Thc
charge that friends raised a fund oil
500, 900 to bride democratic Legislators
to vote for me is pure rot. The first
intimation ] had Of the thing was three
weeks ago, when James Kelley, man,
aging editor Of the Chicago Tribune,
called me up and asked about the
story. l told him I had never heard
OF it before and that it was absured. "
This was the statement made by AL
bert ]. Hopkins, former United States
senator from Illinois, before leaving
here for Chicago.
"Of course, I do not know all that
happened at Springfield" he added,
but if the facts were as widely known as
the story indicates, it is strange that
I did not hear at least rumor OF
them. y
Hopkins asserted that the whole
story emanated from Roger Sullivan,
Democratic boss OF Illinois.

The Pearson syndicate.

New I DIRK, july ~. - 1naC Tie
Pearson syndicate, which was securing
immense blocks of stocks in American
railroads for the purpose of organizing
new trans-continental system, was
not squeezed out and forced to sell to
Kuhn, Loeb & Company, is statement
made today by well informed financlers.
These same authorities declare further
that the Pearson syndicate is still ex'
tant, and that Kuhn, Loeb e. Company
has merely identified itself with the
syndicate in furtherance Of well organ.
lied plan to secure control OF the roads
needed for the new system. The i'm
mense block of stock taken over by
Kuhn, Loeb & Company it is said in
Wall street, did not come from the
Pearson syndicate, but from other in
terests.
Pearson is still to be in the syndicate,
and still to hold an immense block OF
Rock Island preferred, which he will
use in accord with the plans formulated,
which included an alliance with Kuhn,
Loeb & Company. 1t is also said to be
unlikely to assume that Kuhn, Loeb X
Company appear in the deal for the
first time, merely to save the market.
AS a matter of fact, Wall street believes,
that Kuhn, Loeb & Company has long
been identified with the foreign syndi-
cate in its efforts to secure possession OF
the American railways needed for the
trans continental line and has been Il
heavy buyer of Rock Island, Lehigh
Valley and Missouri Pacific.
1t is said in the street that the bank
ing firm and it's foreign connections
have taken over immense holdinge
of these stocks, the owners of which
had to sell in view OF the recent break
in the market. It is also said that on
the way down, the bank and its allies
accumulated other large blocks Of these
stocks, which, they will vote in har-
mony with those held by the Pearson
syndicate.
1t is said, furthermore, that the
syndicate now in control is not new
one, but the old one with important
new connections. Perciyal Farquhar
is said to have become member OF
the new syndicate, and it is under
stood that the original plans will shortly
be carried out
DR.. +. S. Pearson, who has been
credited with engineering the operations
of the syndicate that endeavorcd to buy
in half score Of railroads, today SAID
that while bad market" had forced
N extension Of the syndicate, il would
undoubtedly be able to hold its stock
in the various lines. He admitted that
Kuhn, Loeb d Company were to he
closely associated with the work OF the
syndicate from now on.
Il am under solemn pledge with
Kuhn Loeb & Company" said Pear
son, not to discuss any OF our re-
lations. You will have to excuse from
making any reference to these gentle
men by whom l have been treated
with the greatest courtesy, and for
whom | entertain the highest respect,
and with whom I shall probably con-
tinue to be associated"

CAPTAIN Kendall, of the Canadian

n. HI. Crippen, with his mustache
shaved off and with other attempted
DISCUSSES, is one of the passengers, ac-
companied by Miss Ethel Clare Leneve'

every liberty. The other passengers
of the vessel, Capt. Kendall wires, are
also in ignorance of the identity OF
Crippen and Miss Leneve.
Captain Kendall's message says: /
had my first suspicious after the Mon
trose had been out two hours from Ant
werp. I watched the couple closely
and came to the conclusion that the
| man was Crippen. He was booked as
merchant, and the girl, disguised rs
his son, rs a student. Crippcn has
been reading constantly, is very ner-
vous, and does not sleep well. Miss
Leneve is gay at times, and at others
appears Worried, and watches Crippcn
with fearful eyes.
Il have watched the man closely
ever since he came on board the boat,
and l am sure today that he is Crippen.
