LADIES MACCADEES STRONGLY IN FAVOR
 OF SAFER INSURANCE
Proposition to Raise Rates of. Fraternals Has Approval
 of Order
PLAIN TALK INDUCED IN
lsnecIal to the Revlew.l

CHICAGO. March 29.-State regn ,au3n of fraternal insurance as pro posed in the Mobile bill" of the Insurance commissioners, now pend ing in Illinois and in a score of osher states, and recently enacted by five legislatures, has brought cut the skeleton from the fraternal insurance closet Deception and mis representation are charged to a small but energetic faction of osten siblc fraternalists which is opposing the bill notwithstanding that the two big federations Of fraternal SO cieties have endorsed and are sup porting it.
 L. 0. T. M. Speaks out.
 I}esoiutions have been adopted by convention of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World. the largest of the fraternal societies for women. asserting that some societies are not in fact "fratcrnals although they claim 10 be. This society has consistently urged the need of ade quate rates to insure sound insur ance. The effect anticipated by those so-called fraternal orders of state supervision and publicity Of accounts is pointed to as an evidence
 After various "whereas's~ the con vention declared. This misrepresen tation. misstatement and opposition proceeding from societies working under the giIise of fraternal beifefi ciaTy societies. but which are not true fraternsi societies. is dangerous and inimical 70 the stability and future soundness Of the great frater nal insurance syste In as a whole and to the millions Of persons dependent thereon. It is added. by Che way of good measure, that the deception being practiced by these fratcrnities as to the effect and nature ol the measure recommended by the Ma tlonal Convention of Insurance Com miS.ioners and endorsed b. thel fraternal fedeFations is contrary to l the interest of the individual mem bers- The societies which for in. l mediate profit and self interest have misrepresented the measure were denounced as not worthy ofl the confidence bestowed by the pub lie upon iraternal beneficiary so cieties
 Such opposing societies cannot be either fraternal or beneficial in l their nature, the resolutions de clare, in thas they seek for selfish 1 and unworthy reasons to prevent the general good of .heir members
 Measure Is Endorsed.
 Reference was made to 'sandaious mergers and misuse of funds. which the proposed law viii prevent, the allusion beIlg to recent exposures Of the purchase and sale of small societies at profit b the managers. The pending measure was endorsed by this womens organization which has membership of 15s,o0O and the largest reserve in proportion toI insurance issued of any fraternaI Organization established in the United States.
 It was an actuarial investigation by the Ladies of the Maccabees Of the World which a few years ago reversed the attitude of life insur anee companies regarding women. The investigations showed that wom en were better rather than poorer risks than men. As a result women are generally accepted for insurance.

 WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 2S. Special )-It has just heen learned fhat at the recent conference between President Taft and Ambassador Uchida sweeping assurances that Japan will withdraw at once from Mexico were given to President Taft
 Quick confirmation came from Mexico City in the amour cement that following the martial demon stration in Texas, the secret Jap anese-h Mexican treaty has been ab- rogated Ambassador Uchida told President Taft that he could rest as sured that hereafter Japan win take no part whatever in Mexican affairs.
 Diplomats and high officials who have been watching thesituation keenly realized that the announce ment that Taft had extended felici- lotions of frfendliness to Uchida was the merest formality Of diplo- macy.
 It was known in this case. as in the inyariabIe rule in diplomacy, President Taft and Baron Uchida agreed before they parted as to what statement should be made public. and under the circumstances the statement made was the most obvious one possible, according to the diplomats. lt is pointed out that t was the natural announcement for this country 10 declare its friendli- ness for Japan, and for Japan in re- turn to do the same, in view of the fact that recent developments were satisfactory to the United States It was learned today that the se- crer Japanese Mexican treaty, the existence of which was publicly de nied. was framed in April of last year when a special agent of the Nikado went to Mexico City and concluded the negotiations.
 Has Been on Alert
 Since that time the United States has been watching every develop ment with the utmost care. and ob- served with increasing displeasure the growing activity Of Japan in Mexico. This continued until the Japanese practically controlled the isthmus of Tehauntepec and the ports of the west coast of Mexico below Guaymas
 This was accentuated and corrob- orated when, ten days ago, the Pa cific Mail steamship company, real izing the futility Of competing with the Japanese on the coast of Mex leo, threw up its hands and an nounced it's withdrawal from Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus of the Tehauntepec national railroad.

"And SO you saw her sitting in the

she was alone" 1 replied "But you
forget the mans laugh and the
checked coat. There was man with
her right enough, and though l didn't
think so at the time, l think now that
makes the thing much more mysteri-

the failure of my errand.

said. "Pederson can wait with the

upon my queer adventure. What
could Agatha First be doing in a
strange automobile in the middle of
the woods when she was supposed to
be Ill at home, and who was the man

Carlton, coming into the hotel from
the wind-swept night, was dazzled by
the brightness.
Whats going on?1 he asked the
clerk.
There's to be dance in the din
ing room," the clerk said. ut is such
beastly weather outside that the
young folks thought up this way OF
spending the evening. You'd better
dress and come down." he continued,
with a glance at Cartons corduroys.
Carlton shook his head. 81 don't care
much for that sort of thing" he stat
ed. 1--WE had so much Of it all my
life" He tramped away to the smok-
ing room, where he read the papers
with the strains Of the dance music
beating in his ears.
On his way upstairs he stopped on
a landing which led to balcony
which overlooked the dining room.
Heavy red velvet curtains were draped
back on each side of the entrance,
and there were three or four deep
velvet chairs drawn back from the
railing. In one of these chairs, crunl-
pied up and crying, was a girl. Carl
ton couldn't see her face, but there
was a brightness about her hair and
a grace in her relaxed figure which
piqued his curiosity, so he stood very
still, waiting. Presently the girl
stopped crying and sat up and saw
him.
"Oh!" she said, involuntarily.
"Is there anything can do, Miss
Wharton?"
Cartons quiet manner took away
from his offer any hint of imperti-
nence. "You seem to be in trouble" !"
The girl stood UP. "Oh, no" she
said, with some decision. ut was silly
Of NE to cry" Then as his eyes still
questioned, she flashed out her griey-
ance:
Does a man ever know what it means
to a woman to be wall flower?"
Carlton looked at her incredulously.
Surely you haven't had such an ex-
perience."
"Yes | have" she said. "l sat out
three dances, and then came up
here; it was too humiliating to be
seen alone"
"But why?" he demanded. 81 know
you dance we'll; l saw you the other
night. And as fer beauty, we'll, any
thing / could say on that subject
would be superfuous, Miss Wharton" ;"
"But I'm net young any more" Her
hands were claspcd tightly. Don't

I'm net used to being set aside; I've
always been first"
But you're young" he said incredu-
lously. why are you calling yourself
old ?"
Because feel old. can't joke and
chatter as did a few years ago, yet
it isn't easy to give up my place to
the younger girls"
He sat down in one Of the big
chairs beside her. He had talked with
her before at the table, and now and
then on the porches when the storms
of the early spring abated little and
made out-of-doors possible. She had
always seemed reserved. and this out
pouring came as a surprise.
She seemed TO feel that she had
said too much, and she apologized.
"If you hadn't caught me crying
should not have said a word; 1t must
seem very silly to you
NO. it doesn't" he said. Perhaps
men don't feel as much the loss o

she awaited the coming Of some one

my unwilling eyes took in this amaz-

before my routed wits apprehended
the significance of mans checked

somehow seemed less extraordinary
at the moment than that she should

riedly started back down the road.
I wanted awfully to see who the man
that belonged to the checked coat
was. but l wanted still more to es-
cape being seen either by him or by
my eccentric guest, Miss Endicott.
The possibility that might fall in
with the former returning from his
little ramble, flowers in hand, almost
made me run, and the fear that in
looking for him, the latter was al:
ready on the point of discovering my
retreating form; caused me to stick
close to the roadside and the shelter
Of the trees like any thief or tres

breathe freely till I'd sighted my own

one of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail Of several

proprietary medicines.
