that ails him. It is an injustice to him
to charge that he has not taken care of

1t my business to keep close tab on Walk

himself. All these yarns about his dissi-

arm rounds into shape he will pitch as
good ball as ever, but no pitcher can work

Some managers might have fused and
fumed not a little when defeat called so

1t did for the Athletics, especially in view
OF the fact that 1t is the ambition OF both
the manager and the players of the Phila-

He showed that the underwriting profit

Benefits of Extended Insurance.

The benefits of extended insurance,
when a life policy is allowed TO lapse. is
becoming more apparent almost every
day The following Is a further illus
tration OF the fact: Fred Merrill. the
proprietor of a saloon in Denver. was re-
Gently shot and killed. Mr. Merrill had
taken out policy for $4,000 several wears
ago in one of the legal reserve compa-
nies, but later allowed IL to lapse. About
two weeks after his death his widow, In
looking through his papers. came across
the policy. and knowing that Mr.. Mer-
rill had not paid the premiums for some
time. was in the very act OF putting II
in the fire when the agent who had writ
ten the policy called to inform her that
the contract was still In force by reason
of the extended insurance provision, and
that the company stood ready to pay th'
claim when the necessary papers were
made out. The agent had noticed the
account OF Mr. Merrills death in the
papers and when his widow failed 10 call
AT his office he went TO her home, and
luckily, was just in time TO prevent Mrs.
Merrill from burning the policy.

Conference of Commissioners.

Reports have been received from Spo-
kane. Wash, TO the effect that the In
surance commissioners of six western
states met there in conference last week
To consider the uniform fraternal insur-
ance bill enacted into law by their re-
spectlve states. Commissioner Done was
present and shared in the discussion.
From private advices it is learned that
from Spokane Mr.. Done went 10 Seattle
and also visited Tacoma and Portland.
From the latter place he went by way
OF boat 10 San Francisco and before re-
turning home expects to visit Los An
geles.
Regarding the fraternal bill discussed
at the special conference referred to- II
should be stated that In tho main 1t is
identlcally the same as the one agreed
upon at the Mobile (Ala.) conference OF
United States Insurance commissioners
held last September and has for It's main
object the providing of adequate rates.
Twenty eight states have passed the
law and others are expected to follow
suit In due course OF time.
A significant point in connection with
the transaction Is the fact that the Vir-
ginia insurance department has revoked
the license Of the Grand Fraternity be-
cause of its refusal to submit to valu-
alton OF its life certificates, and proceed
ings TO compel the department to is
sue license are now pending before
the supreme court. If the department
be followed by all the cooperating in
surance departments not now having any
law bearing on the question. This. OF
course. Will give the commissioners the
right to insist upon a valuation of the
life certificates and that having been
done to require prompt correction Oh
any deficiencies which may be shown.
Under the Mobile commissioners bill
the fraternal societies are given several
years n which to prepare for this work
but under the regulatory powers OF the
departments they can demand II at once
should they deem it necessary.
The bill has found favor with the
Modern Woodmeu OF America In most Of
the states where they are doing busi-
ness and IL is believed the influence they
WELD will, in due course OF time bring
the other fraternal organizations into
line.
