Mistake Corrected

Milwaukee Wis, August 27.-The spe- cial committee of the insurance commits sioners of the United States made pub its investigations In this report the bus iness methods of a number of industrial, health and accident insurance companies were very strongly criticised by the com mittee, which at the same time made public a list of IA insurance companies whose methods it had examined The criticisms did not, however, apply to the Great Eastern Casualty company of New York, which was mentioned in the list of companies examined. The insurance commissioners committee on industrial, health and accident settlements at ses- sion in Detroit reported that the Great Eastern Casualty company had none of the tendencies found open to criticism in some cases examined and concluded it's report on this company as follows:
 Considered as a whole, however. the methods of this company, in it's adjust ments with policyholders are refreshingly honest, and the committed. therefore, cheerfully accords such company the com mendation which 1t deserves
 The Standard Accident Insurance com pany of Detroit and the Massachusetts Accident company of Boston also are commended by the committee which an- nounced also that it found nothing worthy of special criticism in the methods of adjustment of claims of the American Assurance company of Philadelphia, the Equitable Accident Insurance company of Boston or the Federal Casualty company of Detroit W

TEXAS MIDDLE IS
 CAUSING SURPRISE

Houston, Tex. August 27.-(Special.)- The embroglio over the prohibition cleo tion in Texas, which was carried from the polls to the state legislature called to discuss financial matters. is produc- ing some of the greatest sensations in the history of the state. Recently the prohibitionist members of the legislature proposed a new constitution for the state that would contain statewide prohibition This was in the form of a resolution in- troduced in the senate providing for the calling of constitutional convention the first Monday in March. 1913. The wording of the resolution was that the delegates are to be chosen by the voters of the state qualified to vote under the exist ing laws for members of the legislature. '' This would eliminate the negro vote. The resolution went to a committee where it still is.
 This piece of thunder was immediately met by the i-prohibitionist members who sprang the greatest sensation of all proposing to divide the state of Texas into three commonwealths, allowing north Texas to be divided into two states and south Texas composing the third. In this way they said north Texas, which Is dry could vote statewide prohibition without opposition. while south Texas, which is solidly wet would not be harrassed by politics of other sections.
 This matter has not reached the reso- lution stage. yet it Is the sentiment of the solid anti-prohibition delegates in the legislature

FUGITIVE NEGRO
 HIDES IN MINE

When Sam Reed. who had just finished serving a term of Imprisonment in the Banner mines Saturday, was told that an officer was awaiting his release in or der to rearrest him on another charge, his answer was return into the mine, where he has remained, refusing to come out and surrender himself to the off, ficer Reed spent Saturday night and all of Sunday in the mine without food or water, and all attempts to locate him have been futile. It Is expected that he will be found today when the new shift goes to work in the mine.
 Reed was to have been released Satur- day. having finished his sentence. He made an attempt to leave the mine by the new shaft, but was told that he could not go, as Officer Kennybrook was wait ing to take him into custody on a charge of murdering a woman in Chiffon coun- ty. It was then that Reed went back into the mine, where all efforts to locate him have failed.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC UP
 ID MAINE VOTERS Will Ballot on Question of Constitutional PrOhibi-
 tion September n

yortland, Me, August 27.-The voters Of Maine September Il will cast their ballots to determine whether or not the policy of constitutional prohibition of the liquor traffic. which has prevailed in Maine for more than a quarter of a century, shall be retained.
 For weeks past the state has been food ed with literature sent out both by tho proponents and opponents of the move 10 take prohibition out of the constitution, while hundreds of speakers have voiced their. sentiments at public gatherings. The campaign is a strenuous one.
 Constitutional prohibition, in which Maine was a pioneer, was first adopted in 1884 For r years the prohibition law remained undisturbed by serious attack. In 1901 a bill for resubmission of the sup- ject was before the legislature, but only S7 votes could be mustered in its favor. In 1907 a similar resolve was barely de- feated.
 In the state campaign last year resub- mission was one of the chief issues, the democrats taking a stand in favor of giving the voters another chance to pass upon the question and the republicans standing pat on prohibition. which has been the partys policy for 50 years Tie election of a democratic governor and democratic legislature settled the ques- tion of resubmission.
 Although both sides are claiming vic tory, conservative people. regardless of their belief, admit there is a decided doubt as to the outcome. The fight will not be settled by a strict party vote, for there are many prohibitionists among the democrats and many "antis' in the re- publican ranRs.
