j. W. Going says That Examination
Fees Were Discharged

In an account published two weeks
ago regarding the charges made by
Actuary S. H. Wolfe, after an exami-
nation into the affairs of the Shawnee
Fire Insurance company, the state
ment was made that Actuary Wolfe de-
manded about $1,000 expenses incurred
while in Topeka making the examfna-
ton. and that this was refused by Of
ficials of the Shawnee.
1t is customary that in making ex-
aminations of this kind, the expenses
are paid by the company examined at
a rate fixed by law. In referring to
the statement ]. w Going, an official
of the Shawnee, said that the money
had been paid and a receipt for the
amount is in the possession of the
Shawnee. The account. he said, was
turned down for short time because
it was not itemized, but it was paid

CITY OF BRISTOL DIVIDED
OVER POSTMASTERSHIP
Is Much Aroused Over Appointment of Resident of
Latter State to the Position.

The city OF Bristol, which is half IN
Tennessee and half in Virginia, is d.
vided against itself today. The Vir~
ginians are standing on their side Of
State street, hurting raucOus gloats
across at the Tennesseeans, who are
dOWncast and sad.
State street runs along on top Of the
State line, straight through Bristol,
north and south. Sometimes in the past
the Tennessee side of Bristol has been
, "dry'' and the Virginia side "~wet -
sometimes it has been the other way
about.
But through it all the Tennessee side
had one advantage, for on its sacred soil
1he postofdce has always been located.
1T sits about a hundred yards west OF
state street. Wherefore the Tennes-
seeans have always claimed that the
postmaster of Bristol should be g Ten

they have been able to get away with
their claim. In fact there was no con-
test on tho part OF the Virginians.

MEYER FAYORS AID
TO NAVAL MILITIA
Some Opposition May De-
velop Among Naval OFF,
GERS to Pending Bill.

Congress during this session may DO
something to help out the naval militia
of the country
Secretary Meyer Is strongly in favor
Of strengthening the naval militia and
building up a naval reserve. He has
been before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs with reference to the
matter, and has given his support tn
bill now pending which, ii is claimed,
would do for the naval militia sub
stantiaIIv what tho Dick law does for
the National Guard
The Dick law YES Federal aid 10 the
extent Of 100000 to about i060o0 men
This IS at the rate Of about $50 per
man It IS proposed TO expend S301o0o
on the naval militia. the members Of
which number about 1000. This is at
the rate Of $50 per man.
Secretary Meyer recommended a few
changes in the bill now before the
House committed So far all the testi-
mony before the House committee has
been favorable to the legislation It is
known. however. that there is no little
disposition on the part Of many naval
officers 10 sneer Al the naval militia
IN this respect the navy differs from
the army. IN recent years many regu-
lar army men have declared their belief
that it would he OF great advantage 10
the country and to the regular army
itself 10 build I'D the National Guard.
The relations between the guard and
the army are steadily improving, and
the guard is steadily growing stronger.
Naval militia supporters believe. how
ever, the tendency viii be, IL Federal
aid is given the naval militia and that
service is strengthened. for naval men
70 take a broader view and help the
naval militia cause,
