tanic, the claims will be paid without delay, it is announced. Because of the fact that every such claim will beNincreasedi 100 per cent. however, the accident companies ares preparing to withstand a heavy drain.
 In addition to the claims for death benefits, the accident companies will have to pay large sums covering the illness of those whose health suffeced from the mental strain and physical exposure which they encountered. The people who patronize the accident in surance companies most liberally are those of fairly moderate means who do tourists. The majority of such travellers carry accident insurance pol icies averaging from 5000 to $50,0O0 each. The double liability clause is now included in all such policies.
 Marine insurance men yesterday re- corning the wreck. All of this infor- nation came from the steamship com pany or was cabled from London by insurance representatives in that city. It was discovered that the marine in- surance companies received even a great ship than had been reported when the first news of the disaster was received. This came about from the fact that the policies written con- tained a clause which enabled the shipowners to pay a premium of only 1 per cent. instead of per cent. in case the shipOwners assumed them selves the first $750.000 risk
 In other words, the policy stipulat- ed that the insurance would be taken at the rate of an annual premium of $10, 1000 for each $1, ,000, 900 of insurance carried, providing that the Interna- tionaI Mercantile Marine Company, in case of accident to the vessel, agreed to pay out $750,O on the resulting loss themselves before asking the ma rine underwriters to make good one cent
 In many ways this loss has been staggering blow to the marine insur- ance underwriters, who are also pre- pairing to withstand a heavy drain up- on their treasuries.

The present wage rates are full, fair and liberal.
 You state it is your earnest desire to exhaust every honorable effort to reach a settlement and trust the con. ference committee may have some proposal that will bring the desired result. The conference committee would gladly make such a suggestion if it could but subject to the present economic conditions it is not ossible to accede to your wage request and those certain to follow.

VAST SUMS IN
 INSURANCE FOR
 TITANIC WRECK
Double Liability Clause Eff fective in All Accident
 Policies

- Accident insurance companies in this country and in England will stand to lose approximately 2.O0o,OOO. it was estimated today by insurance experts in New York, as a result of the Ti- tanic disaster. The loss. it was ex- 'plained, will be doubled by reason of the so-called double liability clause, which requires insurance. com panies to pay twice the amount of the death benefits where the policy hold ar loses his life while travelling in a public conveyance propelled by steam or electricity.'' In eases, therefore, where a company has lost a policy holder insured for 350.O00 the under writers must pay $1O0.00O.
 An official of leading accident in- surance company said last night that the present catastrophe had put the est test that accident underwriters have ever encountered. All the com panies have their inspectors estimat- ing the aggregate losses they would have to pay in case most of the first and second cabin passengers on board the vessel are actually lost.
 For instance. in the case of Charles N Hays, president of the Canadian Grand Trunk Railway. who was among the passengers. it is known that accident insurance policies amounting to between $50.000 and $75,- 900 are extant. In the case of Col. John Jacob Astor, whose name has not appeared in the list of those reported rescued by the Carpathia, it is not be- lie&ed that the accident insurance loss will be heavy, as men of his immense fortune seldom trouble themselves about providing such protection for their families
 It Is estimated that in the case of two or three hundred of the men who lost their lives heavy claims for death benefits will be filed against the aoci- dent insurance companies. As soon as it is established that no other ships have picked up survivors from the Tf-

NUMBER SO
HOUSING AND HEALTH.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, M. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

Nature intended man to live
outdoors. Civilization has so ex-
tended the geographical range of
the human race that this primi-
tive plan has of no necessity been
abandoned by the great majority
of people who spend far more
time indoors than out.
In the early stages of civilza-
ton houses were sufficiently prim
tive to insure a healthful degree
of ventilation. In recent years
there has been much talk in re-
gard to the improvement neces-
sary in housing conditions. In
the larger cities there are many
miserable tenements which are
unfit for habitation but the great
majority of our modern houses
are constructed on sanitary lines
and would be more healthful if
they are properly used.
All the living rooms and bed
rooms should have a sufficient
amount of fresh air passing
through them to keep the atmos-
phere perfectly sweet. With the
arrival of the cold weather comes
the problem of properly heating
the house. The ordinary hot air
furnace provides for the admis-
sion of fresh air as do indirect
systems of steam and hot water
heating but where the radiators
are placed in the rooms heating
too often means raising the tenn
perature Of the impure and stag
nant air which often remains un-
for hours regardless of
the number of people who breath
it.
1t may add to the expense of
heating our homes and places of
business to permit constant ad-
mission of fresh air and the disi
of that which has been
Health, however, de-
pends upon the quality and guam
tity of the air we breathe and
the slight additional expenditure
required for heat plus ventilation
will mean much to health when
with heat minus venti-
alton.
The latter is responsible for the
great increase in pneumonia
which occurs during the winter

Last Weeks Auto Accident.

Last week, in mentioning the
automobile accident that ocuur-
red near Juniata Crossing on
Tuesday of that week, we were
unable to give the names of the
parties. They were Mr.. and Mrs
James D. O'Neal, Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott A. White and Mrs. H. C.
Murphy in a large Peerless car,
and S. A. White, Jr., James
O'Neal, and Miss Margaret White
of Pittsburgh. and Miss Amy
Large, Of Denver, Colorado, in a
Cadillac. 1t was the latter car
that met with the accident.
When the right front tire pune
tured and swerved the car, it
struck a large stone, and the two
young ladies were thrown out.
Miss Large struck the ground
with the back Of her head, frac-
turing the skull, from which she
died in Everett that evening.
Miss White was badly cut and
bruised but not fatally injured.
The two parties were on the
return trip from Buena Vista,
Franklin county, where they had
spent two weeks of pleasure.
Miss Large was nineteen years of
age, and had but recently gradu-
a5ed from school and was visiting
in Pittsburgh who were
endeavoring to make her visit
pleasant.

They Burned The Note.

Members and adherents of the
Lutheran congregation of McCon
nellsburg worshiped with lighter
hearts and with clearer consci-
ences last Sabbath, than perhaps
has been their privilege for some
time. About two years ago it
was found that debts to the
amount of over two hundred dol
lars had accumulated, and in or
der that they might be paid, a
note for the amount was given,
money borrowed, and all outstand-
ing accounts paid. This course,
as all know, only postponed the
evil day of final settlement. Re-
Gently, the officers Of the congre-
cation got busy" Pastor and
members called on other men,
bers and solicited sufficient funds
to cancel the note and interest,
and az the regular service last
Sabbath, the note was burned in
the presence of the congregation,
amid rejoicing and thanksgiving.
We heartily congratulate you
friends.
