DISTRICT GETS NEW
LAW. TO DRIVE OUT
INSURANCE SHARKS
Fake Companies Hit BY One
Of Three Bills Passed
Yesterday.
Sponsors of District legislation In the

Sponsors Of District legislation In the
House feel little more hopeful today.
Working under special rule, the House
got busy late yesterday and passed
three District bills. II the session Is
prolonged the District may be given
another day or 50 before adjournment OF
Congress-.
A bill to curb classes of health, acct
dent, and life insurance companies OF
the District, and to prevent the charter
ing of irresponsible companies was the
most important bit Of legislation passed.
The bill had already passed the Senate.
During the debate Representative Nell
son of Wisconsin charged that the Dis
trict was invested" with insurance
sharks, who, he said, levied a yearly
tribute OF half a million dollars.
there was "colored lobbyist" at work
to defeat the bill, and that he had
threatened to mandamus the insurance
commissioner in order to obtain char
ter.
THE company that this colored lob
byist wants to FORM" said Mr.. John
son, would be composed Of himself, his
son, and his wife, and under the present
inadequate insurance laws he could
start out with 81 capital, divided into
stop these robbing little insurance COM
panies."
The bill as passed provides that all
health, accident, and life insurance COM
panies operating in the District must
have approved assets Of $4,000 as a
guarantee fund. which assets may be
invested in United States, municipal,
State and county, or railroad bonds.
Representative Weeks obtained an
amendment that railroad bonds"
should be acceptable only on railroads
that had paid dividends for ten years.
II real estate is to be used as assets
II must not be included at more than
70 per cent of its value.
No company Is to be permitted to
issue a greater death benefit than 500
or a greater weekly indemnity Of more
than $40 on any one person. unless the
company has assets amounting TO $780,
900 which have been approved by the
District officials.
II also Is required that all insurance
companies shall make regular reports,
at least one a year, and oftener II de-
sired, to the insurance Superintendent
of the District. The act becomes effec-
tive within ninety days, but does not
apply to fraternal associations and
trades unions now licensed by the Dis
trict.
The House also passed a bill giving
the District the right OF appeal to the
Supreme Court in patent cases. The
parties who will benefit will be the
Commissioners or a District contractor
where the Commissioners assume Re-
sponsibility for the infringement of
patent rights.

TWO NATIONS TRY
TO END SHUSTER
!. TROUBLE IN PERSIA
Cause Of Financial Row
Explained In Dispatches
To State Office.

The British and Russian ministers to
Persia Sre working together tC
straigAen out the difficulties arising
from the appointment of W. Morgan
Shuster. jr., Washington boy, as
financial adviser OF the Persian empire.
Shuster, who became financial adviser
of the Shah on June l3, is endeavortng
TO disentangle the financial conditions
Of the country. Dispatches received at
the State Department this afternoon
tell Of the difficulties which have fol-
lowed his appointment
Loans made tc the Persian govern
ment by England and Russia carried
with them an agreement that those
countries are to receive the accruing
interest from the customs receipts.
Belgium also placed loans in the em-
pire with the same understanding. For
some time financial experts from Bel
gium have had complete control over
the customs receipts, and have for
warded 10 England, Russia, and Bel
gium all the money taken in at the
various Persian ports.
When Shuster became financial ad-
wiser 81 the government he was en-
powered by the parliament TO make all
expenditures. 1t was stipulated that
all money paid out should pass through
his hands. Immediately after assum-
ing his new position the young Ameri-
can took over the customs receipts.
While he did not decline to pay the in
terest on the loans when II became due,
yet he insisted that the letter of the
law under which he came into exist
ence be carried out
According to dispatches received at
the State Department, the governments
concerned have not met the new sys-
TEN with approval The work of the
Russian and British government minis
tiers to Persia is now directed toward
reaching some kind of an agreement
with Shuster, whereby their govern
ments will obtain the money due them.
The State Department will take no
hand in the matter as 1t stands now.
As long as Shuster's personal safety is
not endangered, nothing will be done
Officials at the State Department say
that they will keep in touch with Per-
sian financial conditions, although they
will offer no suggestions and will take
no part in untangling affairs.

Hans Peterson, who is expect

plant for this city, was before the
commission this morning. He said
he was having difficulty in getting
certain machinery men to make
fair terms. They want him to put
the cash up before they begin
making the machinery.
Mayor Fawcett announced that
Savage & Nichols had now sold a
portion of the bonds on the project
and that he was signing 100000
of them. He thought they would
all be marketed without difficulty,
and Peterson says if this is true
then he will be in shape to go
ahead as he will have the cash
in hand. He gave Mr.. Savage an
option on his portion of the
bonds when Savage went to New
York, and the latter is now there

Why can Pianos be bought in
large quantities at the factory for
less money than they are retailed
by the dealersf Because the impor-
tant item of selling expense must be
reckoned with - the expense Of
salesmen's salaries, lights, rents, adj
vertising, drayage, ETC., must be
met.
In combining several hundred
buyers into one club we are placing
members in exactly the same posi-
ton as the dealer. We are selling
hundreds of Pianos direct from the
factory to the home and at the same
time giving them the additional adj
vantage of unusually easy payments.
This is one of the things that
large business concern like the
House of Eilers can afford to do oc-
casionally and, believe us, we have
found that it pays-and pays big.
Five hundred Pianos are not many
to distribute over the great North
west, and our advice is that, if you
want one of the superb instru-
ments at these prices on the club
plan, you must write or see us at
once.
