A clever evasion Of the Virginia

The old rate was Is per cent. flat

schedule had been adopted. making a
graded rate, OF froni 10 20 Is per
cent, according to the class of busi-
ness. The insurance companies ask
the agents TO specify which they pre-

WILL NOT REPLY TO
ROOSEVELT ATTACK
PRESIDENT TAFT WILL SAY
NOTHING AS TO ASSAULT ON
ARBITRATION TREATY.

WASHINGTON. II. G.. May 19.--
Efforts to draw the White House into
replying directly to former President
Roosevelts attack on the proposed
arbitration treaty with England an /
France to-day proved unavailing.
President Taft took the position that
the question was one in which every
man having personal views was pos
sessed OF the right to express them.
The President has not altered his
position. and great confidence was
expressed at the White House that the
movement OF broader arbitration trea-
ties has the support of wide public
opinion. 1t was said that Taft has
received scores OF kilograms from bus
mess mems organizations lately con-
graduating him upon his accomplish
ment thus far toward world peace.
