Sneed as she exclaimed in reply to
his question, what in the world are

THE INCREASED
INSURANCE RATES
By L. M. HEWITT.

! For the last week the principal topic
of conversation in some quarters has
been the excessive raise in the insur-
ance rates for this city. 1t has been
claimed by some that the city water
works was responsible. But the fact
is, that under the new water system
the key rate has already been reduced
10 cents, just as has been claimed for
it, and that when the new engine is
installed that the rate will be further
reduced. The key rate for Bryan un-
der the old water system was n cents
and the key under the present system
is 62 cents per $100. This being fact,
there are some risks in the city which
have been lowered, but the great bulk
Of insurance risks in the city have
been increased. This being an unusual
situation, | have carefully analyzed
the risks with their schedules of ex-
ira penalties and I find that the in
crease over the old rate is invariably
on account OF a gasoline lighting plant
or gasoline heating iron, either in the
building or in building in the block,
not properly installed. The charge for
gasoline lighting plant in the build
ing is 80 cents and for a gasoline
heating iron is 81. Now the light may
be in one building and the iron in an
other, and the charge for each is
against both buildings If they are both
in one block, as occurs in several in
stances. A close estimate on one
block so affected makes the extra cost
for insurance to the block of over
$500, and there is one heating iron in
one store and a light plant in two
stores, but every insurer in the block
is affected thereby.
Then again the charge for a gaso-
line engine in building is $3.50 per
hundred, and every exposure is also
affected in this case. The accumula-
ton of empty boxes is often penalized
at 25 cents. This, too, affects every
insurer in a block, and who can say
that an accumulation Of empty boxes
around a store, in the back alley or
anywhere else, is a necessity? That
25 cents means $3.50 on every $1,000
insurance in block.
There are also number of in.
stances where boxes are used for
trash receptacles, instead of metal
cans, the penalty being 10 cents. I'm

WHOLESALE ARRESTS
IN OYNAM|T|MG CASES
President Ryan Of Iron Workers, In

utive Committeeman Taken
In Charge.
lBy Associated Press.1

10y hSSoCldtcu IItsa.J
indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE de-
PENDANTS in the federal dynamit!ng in.
dictments were rounded up today.
President Frank M. Ryan of the Inter-
national Iron Workers Union, is one
of the most prominent arrests. Eleven
business agents of the iron workers
union, several international officials
and some members of the executive
board are among those arrested.
Meadows, who represents one of three
unions alleged to be implicated; Ryan
another and Doyd of the machinists'
union were arrested yesterday. The
others, Hockin and Butler, at first de-
tanned, were later arrested. Ryan's
bond was fixed at $4,000. The indict-
ments charge that the Mcnamara
brothers were merely agents in vast
conspiracy covering several years.
Webb's bond was fixed at $4,000. He
figures prominently in the McManigal
confession.
The following arrests have thus far
been made in connection with the fed
eral indictments:
At Chicago-Richard Houlihan, Will
liam Schoupe, James Cooney, James
Coughlin, all iron workers union
leaders.
At Kansas City-W. B. Brown, w.

presidents, respectively, of the Inter
national Iron Workers Union, de.
tanned when President Ryan was ar.
rested.

roll, iron workers officials.
Cincinnati-Edward Clark, Ernest
Basey.
Detroit-Charles Wachmeister, F. ].
Murnhv iron workers
st. Louis-John Barry, Paul Morrin,
iron workers.
Correspondence between the iron
workers international headquarters
and the officials of many local unions
is alleged to indicate the business
agents knew of the dynamiting.
President Ryan has asked the mem
bers of his union, numbering $4,000,
to establish a special fund of $1,000
monthly. which, it is believed, will be
used for the defense of the various
officials who have been indicted in
connection with the various instances
of dynamiting.
Arrests have been going on all day,
mostly in the North and East, 1t is
expected there will be fifty by night.
Nearly all are delegates, business
agents and local leaders of the iron
workers union.
Conspiracy to ship dynamite is the
strongest charge the government
makes in any Of the cases.

FEATUE OF COLE BROS. SHOWS
The sober quiet, innocent.looking
camels in a menagerie are always OBJ
jects of no little interest, because OF
their peculiar form. With the herd
in Cole Brothers United Shows, which
are billed to appear in Logan, Friday,
May "a, are to be found some of the
finest specimens ever exhibited In
this or any other country, including
the only living giant wild black camel
known to man. While a party of hunt.
ers were in the high and cold regions
near the Lake of Lob Nor last De-
cember in search OF rare animals for
Messrs. Cole, the men sighted small
number of wild camels, at the head of
which was one towering far above the
others in size, and solid black in
color. Never having seen the like be-
fore the collectors became fired with
desire to capture the strange crea.
ture, They succeeded but the chase
was lengthy and strenuous one and
before the prize was finally taken
several battles royal were fought with
Black King Camel victorious in all
but the last one. Even after being
made a captive the beast gave his
keepers no end OF trouble and all
kinds of difficulties were encountered
before 1t was gotten ont OF it's native
stronghold and safely aboard the
boat, Scientists and all students Of
natural history will find this untam-
able quedruped an interesting study.

and Home.
Among the birds that eat insects
are the fly-catchers, warblers, swal.
lows and chimney swifts, which live
exclusively on insects. Many others,
such as the blackbirds and several
varieties OF hawks, depend on Insects
for large part of their food. The
meadow lark has large appetite for
insects and in the course OF a season
ride the meadows and pastures of
countless pests that are injurious 70
crops. Even the much-abused crow
has fondness for cutworms that
almost equals his liking for corn.
AS seed eaters some birds are most
tireless. To this group belong the
large number of sparrows. Many
other birds eat seeds; in fact, most
birds eat both insects and seeds in
varying amounts. A large number Of
birds feed on field mice, gophers,
ground squirrels, moles, etc, chief OF
all being hawks and owls.-Deseret

IS SHOW IN'C C0MiNC

Flaming posters in all the colors OF

be seen in Logan, Friday, May "a.
Already the small boy and his elders
are happy in anticipating the coming
of this mighty tented amusement en-.
terprise and its countless wonders.
For this season the Cole Brothers
enlarged their shows in every depart.
ment and their greatly augmented list

add several more railroad cars. To
day three special trains are required
to transport the huge tents, ponder

leau cars. elephants, camels, horses,
ponies, men and women.
In the triple geological gardens.
combined under one vast spread Of
canvas are to be found the finest liv.
ing specimens of rare, strange and
curious animals from every quarter of
the globe. Prominent in this collec.
ton is a full grown yellow bvious
Moschatus, positively the only one
ever seen by man. Captured north OF
Great Slave Lake at latitude 81, II
was only by exercising the greatest
diplomacy that Cole Brothers agents
were enabled to get the animal out Of
the country. Covered with a heavy
coat of pure golden yellow hair, the
beast was regarded as sacred by the
natives, not one of whom could be
induced to aid in its capture. There
are other exhibits of animal life equal
ly as rare, making visit to Cole
Brothers menageries of far greater ed
vocational value than will ever be gain
ed by the deepest study of all the
books at hand on the subject OF ma
tural history. Inside the vast canvas

Overlapping all is veritable maze

PRETTY GIFT FOR TRAVELLER
PlneushIons Of Novel Designs Make
Acceptable Tokens Between
Parting Friends.

Penny dolls made OF china are the
foundation OF cunning little pin cush-
ions. which look like ballet.dancers at
first sight. but on second glance It is
discovered that in lieu Of fluffy skirts
they wear balls of brightly colored
satin. silk. Pompadour ribbon or tinsel
cloth. To dress one Of these cushion
dolls. wind strip Of inch.wide cotton
about the trunk. from the waist over
tie left shoulder. back to the waist
again and over the right shoulder and
then tack it with stout thread. That
is the basis for the fluffs Of cotton
scented with sachet powder-which
must be put on to form a symmetrical
ball that Is covered with white, soft
linen and finally with the fancy silken
material. When finished, the dolls
hands. feet and head only are uncov-
cred and no matter how many long
pins are stuck into her. their points
are scarcely likely to reach her trunk.
Pin cushions of fancy ribbon, velvet
or silk Of obiong shape have three
plain plump corners and one that is
trimmed with two square double
leaves Of silk which fall over both its
sides and, when their baby ribbon
strings are united, reveal several in
side leaves of embroidered flannel for
holding needles Of various sizes. At
the other end of the cushion and set
directly at the center of its shortest
edge. are ribbon loops by which the
cushion may be suspended. This is
the ideal steamer or travelling pin
cushion and makes a most acceptable
bon voyage gift.
