Supreme Court Of the United
States Takes Recess Until
April 3rd.
SHORT SESSION IS HELD
Few Decisions Rendered and the
Oklahoma Capital Case Set
For Argument.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The su-
preme court of the United States within
half an hour of convening at noon today
adjourned until April g.
Neither Standard OH nor American To-
bscco trust case was decided by the
court today, Whether the great corpora
ton cases win come down two weeks
from today is matter entirely OF spec
ulation; the court VoucEsafes no ad-
vance intlmations OF it's intentions.
The court declined to Interfere with
the distribution by the government OF
several million dollars TO eastern Chero-
kee Indians. The court holds that tho
Indians have been guilty of neglect OF
their legal interests in delaying so long
to bring their action.
The Indians claimed that the court in
1905 decided that the government owed
900 as a balance, including interest since
1886, for giving up their lands in the
south Atlantic states and decreed that
This sum should he distributed 10 the
heirs of the CherokceS of 1916.
The court OF claims held this method
to he impra cticable. owing 10 defective
records of descent OF Indians and other
and decided for a distribution

To this basis Of determination on
which practically the entire fund has
been distributed the Indians objected

Pacific Board Cuts Premiums
on Brick Mercantile Build
ings 33 l-3 Per Cent.
ACTION MEANS BIG SAVING
TO CITY'S BUSINESS MEN
Three-Year Policy May Be OBJ
tanned for Cost of Two
Year Policy.

Fire insurance rates on brick mercan-
been reduced 33 l3 per cent by the
Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pa
ciiic, with headquarters in San Fran
cisco George V. Lawry, local district
secretary for the board, with head
quarters in the Boston building, received
notice of the reduction Monday. The
decrease means saving on fire insur.
aucc premiums of several thousand dol.
lars annually to Salt Lake property
owners.
The reduction was decided on by the
executive committee OF the Pacific
board, which approved the proposed de
crease and then sent notice of it. The
decrease takes effect at once,
Sets Aside Old Rule.
The board makes the reduction by
setting aside its old rule of declining to
insure brick mercantile buildings for
more than q year at a time and agree
ing to assume risks on such structures
for a period of three years for the
premium on q similar policy for two
years. The reduction thereby enables
the property owner to obtain n three.
year policy at the reduced cost of a
twG-vear poncN, giving decrease III
such fire insurance rates Of 33 1-3 per
cent.
In making the reduction the board
demands of the property owner that he
insure for 20 per cent Of the valuation
Of the building. District Secretary
Lawry says, however, that 90 per cent
of tho property holders insuring take
out policies covering from 10 TO so per
cent Of the value of the property, so
this restriction will keep few if any
persons from iDsurng
Several Exceptions,
Church. school, city, county, state and
other similar public buildings have been
allowed TO come under the three-year
contract for some time, SO such struc
tures are not affected by the decrease
The reduction does not apply to the con-
tents of brick mercantile buildings nor
to factories, theatcrs and the like, which
are considered extra hazardous risks.
Competition may have had some
thing to do with the reduction said
Mr., Lnwry Monday night. "but the
main reason for the decrease, | think
was that the board found it can
afford 10 write q threc.year policy on
mercantile brick buildings at two.
year premium rate because fire losses on
brick buildings usually are only partial.
Rarely is n brick structure completely
destroyed. In most fires the contents of
n brick building suffer more than does
the structure itself. -
