WANT MORE FIGHTERS.

Washington, Sept. 10.-With the

thousand men below Its normal
strength the navy department today
began an active campaign to get re-
cruits for the fighting ships. The to-
tai enlisted force is now 46.766. or
5,634 less than required by law. One
of the chief causes for the falling off
was the long delay by congress in
passing the naval appropriation bill
but this was complicated by the heavy
demand for men on farms in the mid
die west. The navy. however. is look
ing forward to the autumn when hun
dreds Of men probably will be thrown
out Of work. Steps already have been
taken to stablish recruiting stations

COMPANIES
CLOSED OUT

Ayailing himself Of power given him
10y the law, Insurance Commissioner
Ferguson today put two insurance
companies out OF business-the Amer
lean Life and Accident Insurance
company, Of Portland, and the Union
! Pacific Life Insurance company, Of
the same city. The last, however, has
a chance for If it completes it's or
ganlzation and otherwise complies
with the law a license may be granted
1t.
Lionel Webster, of Portland, heads
the first named company as president.
Charles Z. Morris is its secretary and
Douglas j. McCallum, its treasurer.
License for this company was denied
because of its failure to make good
the impairment of its stock.
Discussing the subject today the In
surance Commissioner said:
Early last May a representative Of
the insurance department commenced
an examination Of the affairs of the
American Life and Accident Insur-
ance company Of Portland, Oregon.
At the time the company's annual
statement for 1911 was under consid-
Grafton by the insurance commission
er 1t was noted that It did not show a
satisfactory income for the amount Of
investments claimed as assets, so It
was tagged for investigation at first
convenience. The report of this eX-
animation reached the department on
May 18th and a hasty review of the
report disclosed an unsatisfactory
state Of affairs, the most serious Of
which was an impairment Of their
capital. On May Goth their license to
transact business was suspended until
such time as they made good the inn
pairment Of capital and restored the
surplus of the company. About June
goth the officers Of the company sub
mitted for consideration Of the de-
partment securities amounting to
SlOS,560 which were tentatively ap-
proved subject, however, to revoca-
ton should the remainder Of securi-
ties required amounting to $44,723.16
not be Of an acceptable class. Nothing
further has been heard from the COM
pany relative to the additional secur-
tiles required before 1t can be rehabil-
itated and there is a growing doubt as
TO the probability of the present man
agement being able TO reorganize IT,"
The Union Pacific Life Insurance
company has been in process OF or
ganiZaion for three years and made
an application for license in June
The law requires a domestic company
to have a paid up capital OF 100000
before beginning business and its
statement shows that II only has S73,-
ll766 Of paid up stock. For this and
other reasons a license is withheld.
