j. w. ROBINSON co.
INSURE VESSEL FROM
CAPTURE DURING WAR
Supreme Court to Decide on the
Validity of Unusual In
SuranCe Risk

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-An odd
tale of adventure, including an un-
usual insurance risk, is to be laid be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States next month, when that tribunal
will be asked to decide whether an in
surance company is liable on policy
taken upon a steamer against the
perils of capture on voyage from
San Francisco to Vladivostok during
the Russo-Japanese war.
The vessel in question was the Brit
ish ship M. s. Dollar. Late in 1904 it
was desired to send the steamer to
Vladivostok with a cargo, and in or
der to protect the owners from loss by
capture they took out a policy against
this peril with the Maritime Insurance
company, Limited, a British corpora
ton. The vessel was seized off the
coast of Japan, about four days sail
from Vladivostok, and subsequently
was condemned.
1t is claimed by the insurance COM
pany that it Is not liable because the
vessel not only carried papers show
ing Vladivostok as her real destination,
but also another set of papers show
ing Moji, Japan, as her real destina-
ton.
The circuit court of appeals for the
ninth circuit decided that the COM
pany was liable. On account Of the
conflicting law on the subject, the
supreme court will be asked to direct
the circuit court Of appeals to send
the case back for review.

LORlNER SEEKS
DELAY IN PROBE
Counsel for Senator Pleads for a
Postponement Until After
legislators Trials
CLAIM PLOT BEHIND CHARGES
Investigating Board to Decide
Today When the Hearing
Shall Be Held
CLAIM PLOT BEHIND CHARGES
kAssnclated PrsssN

CHICAGO, Sept 22-After hearing
arguments for and against post
ponement of the Lorimer investiga-
tion until after the November election,
the senatorial committee adjourned to-
day it's first formal session until to-
morrow without deciding any Of the
questions presented to 1t.
The plea for a postponement of the
hearing was made by Attorney FL
bridge Hanecy, counsel for Senator
Lorlmer, and was based on the asser-
ton that to continue the hearing while
two criminal cases were pending, in
volvlng similar subjects, would be un-
fair to Senator Lorimer, who wished
to call the defendants, Minority Leader
Lee O'Neil Browne and State Senator
John Broderick as witnesses before
the committee.
Counsel for Senator Lorimer touched
on the political dispute over the Illi-
nois deep waterway project. He as
serted that not only were legislators
being attacked because of having
voted for Senator Lorimer, but be-
cause they had voted against spend
ing $20,000000 for deep waterway pur-
poses
This portion of the argument was
in line with the speech of Senator
Lorimer in the senate when he char
acterized the charges against him as
part of great political plot, in which
the governor of Illinois had Joined
hands with the newspaper which
printed the confession of Legislator
Charles A. White.
Attorney Barnes, in opposing the
continuance, declared he was surprised
at the demand for a postponement
and asserted that it was the duty of
the committee to proceed.
"You gentlemen have the power to
help the state clear out a lot of ras-
calls" he said.
The attorney for the Legislative vot-
ers' league asked that Attorney Alfred
S. Austrian, representing the Chicago
Tribune, be allowed to speak to the
motion.
Attorney Austrian said that the
newspaper had supplied the commit
tee with a list of witnesses which
would occupy at least three weeks with
their testimony and asserted that "if
there was a political conspiracy
against Senator Lorimer the committee
can readily ascertain it"
No ruling was made by the commit
tee on the proposition to permit Mr..
Austrian to take part.

PROBLEMS OF REVENUE
VEX GERMAN STATESMEN
Receipts from Taxes May Be
Over Ten Millions Short

BERLIN, Sept. 22.-The government
is still struggling with the problems of
revenues which failed of solution
through the fiscal legislation of 1909
1t has been rumored for some months
that the government intended to m
troduce at the next session of the
reichstag a bill providing for addition
al taxation.
Chancellor Won -Hollweg,
however, has recently had confer
ence with the cabinet, at which de-
cision was reached to postpone action
in the matter until after the elections
to the reichstag, which, it is expected,
will be held in the autumn of 1911.
The conclusion generally accepted is
that the government is unwilling to
risk the political effect of new fiscal
legislation prior to the election
1t appears probable that the rev.
enue for the present year from new
taxes will fall s1O,750,0O0 short.

CAMP ATAsCADERo, Sept "a
The thunder of artillery shook the hills
of Atascadero today in the most ex-
tensive sham battle yet engaged in be-
tween the blue and the red armies.
1t will be eclipsed during the entire
maneuvers only by the operations in
which the Arizona and New Mexico
National Guard will for the first time
participate in action with the regulars,
The blue army, composed of a war
strength battalion of infantry, two
troops of cavalry land the machine
guns, was commanded by Major j. 2.
O'Neil of the Thirtieth infantry and the
reds, also composed of a war strength
battalion of infantry and twelve field
guns, were under Capt. Traber Nor
man.
Major O'Neil, approaching from the
southwest, received orders to silence
the three batteries of artillery which
were supposed to be harassing the
flank of a blue division. The artillery
was in command of Major e. A. Millar,
and was in position on wooded height
north of Atascadero creek. 1t was sup
ported by the infantry, some of which
was intrenched.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-23
NEW SYSTEM IN BATTLE


was intrenched.
NEW SYSTEM IN BATTLE
The battle was conducted along mod
ern military lines, the commanders OF
the respective forces remaining mile
or two in the rear and directing their
commands by means of the field tele-
graph and telephone lines which had
been reeled out behind the moving
troops by the signal corps men under
Lieuts. Beck and Prosser.
As the sl5irmish lines of the blues
came in. contact with the outPosts OF
the reds infantry, supporting the ar
tillery to prevent the success of such
an attack, the batteries opened on the
blues.
Struggling lines OF khaki-clad figures
advanced and retreated, or clambered
up precipitous heights, and the blue
cavalry under Capt. c. B. Sweezy, gal
Looping along under cover of fringe
of trees and later taking a position to
the north of Pine mountain.
AS the fight developed the irregular
infantry fire became more intense until
it sounded like the incessant sputter
of a string of Chinese frecrackers, and
was almost drowned out by the roar
of artillery. AS a spectacle 1t was a
success, but from a military stand
point there was considerable criticism
as to the manner in which the troops
were handled to attain the desired OBJ
jects and a division of opinion as to
whether any part or all of the artillery
was silenced by the attack of the blue
troops, some of the observers declaring
that at least six of the guns were put
out of commission by Major O'NeiP s
destroyed by his cavalry. 1t was
claimed on the other hand that the
machine guns did not get into action
at all.
GENERAL BLISS ON HILLTOP
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, commander-in-
chief, accompanied by Major W. M.
Wright, chief of staff, and Assistant
Chief of Staff Capt. A. w. Bjornstad,
watched the operations from hill.
When the bugles sounded the recall
the blue forces had swept the reds
back and supposedly at least part OF
the three batteries had been silenced.
Today's operations, among others,
demonstrated that the signal corps
with its field lines will be a very i'm
portant part of the army In future
warfare. The signal corps men with
reels of tight wire strapped to their
breasts and telephone receivers to their
ears reeled off the wire as they moved
along directly behind the firing line,
transmitting information to headquaf-
ters and receiving orders from the COM
mander-i chief.
Tonight the New Mexico and Arizona
National Guard is hivouacking in the
woods near Estrada springs, prepara-
tory to moving south at daybIeak to
Join the red army in an attack upon
a blue ammunition wagon train OF
fifty wagons
Under the critical eyes of Lieut.. Col.
N. p. Phister and Major F. r. Ray of
the Thirtieth infantry, regulars, a
chain Of outposts was established.
Several times tonight cavalry was sent
out to 'sting up the military out
posts. The guardsmen were on the
alert, however, and several sharp little
brushes took place in the woods.
Gen. A. S. Brooks, adjutant general
of New Mexico has arrived in camp
and will watch tomorrow's maneuvers.
