INSURANCE Man

Bismarck, N. d., June 10.-Deputy
Sheriff Ed Barnes has gone to Helena,
Mont, to secur requisition papers
there for the return to Bismarck Of
I'll. j. Jennings who solicited insurance
applications in this city last month
for the Merchants Life & Casually
Go. OF Minneapolis. Jennings was in
Bismarck during the month of MAY
and secured a number OF applications
n collected payments. He had no
license issued him by the state Of
North Dakota that would permit him
to solicit insurance here, and upon I'M
formation for the president OF the
company at Minneapolis state insur-
ance commissioners learned that Jen-
5nings had never been authorized by
the company to solicit here. though
he at one time had been an agent For
the company in Minnesota. Jennings
operated here under an assumed name
and by the time the insurance com
missioner had collected sufficient eyi-
dence to warrant States Attorney
5Berndt causing his arrest JENNINGS
had gone to Montana. Learning that
he was wanted here officials ait RiH-
ings had detained him but had releays
ed him before Deputy Barnes reached
there. The officer succeeded, how
ever. In re-arresting him and will re-
turn with Jennings to Bismarck Al
soon as the requisition papers are
completed. There have been al n,ns

Winifred James in London Chroni-

gray lagoon, a little idle sail like a
resting butterfly, pale sunlight upon
the wooded hills, n a great white

coral islands to the sea beyond. That

T went to visit the banana districts OF
Panama.
The plantations of the United Fruit
Co. lie on the far side of the lagoon,
which is entered at Bocas del Toro,
40 miles along the coast from Colon.
At one time Bocas used to be the cen

America for twice as long. Wherever
they go they take their world with
them.
On Nances Cay, two miles across the
water from BocasS del Toro, is a fully
equipped hospital that is more like a
rich mans castle than a hospital; and
situated in surroundings of such beau
once If it really can be true. The
same marvel of organization is there,
the same attention to the everyday
wants OF man. Yet everything is SO
primitive in Almirante that il you wish
to go for a walk you must take a
launch ride. There is the railway
track, 1T is true, but it is rough work
picking your way between the sleep
ers, and watching for engines is a
seIf-conscious enjoyment. Beyond
that there Is not a road or a path any
where.
The Town Of Almirante.
For all that, one may sit down to a
dinner at night that begins with oys-
tiers on the shell from New York, in
cludes an English pheasant, and ends
with an ice that might have come from
the Carlton.
The town of Almirante is Just about
8 years old. lit consists of a narrow
coral filled spit, on which stands the

Merchandise. and separated by a wa
ter passageway, is the wharf, a big
r%oofed-in concrete affair. ait which
there is generally a teamer loading or
unloading every day. The town is
about as long as the wharf, and a few
times as wide. 1T holds the three
buildings comfortably and allows for
an open coral-flled space, intersected
with drain-pipes, in which the dogs
and cats forgather on moonlight and
other nights and have 1T out. The

between the train and the ship, and
handed them up to an intermediate
platform cushioned with padded sacks.
On that platform stood two more
negroes, who handed them up to others
waiting upon the deck. Here they are
examined, graded, and passed by the
same stages into the hold. All night
long the vessels would load, and, Hly-
ing in my bedroom, separated from
the wharf by only the narrow strip of

bananas they were loading, instead of
steel rails they were unloading. Half
a hundred niggers singing the bananas

of a weary stevedore. There are

A Retired Revoiutionist.
Life down there is pretty lawless at.
times, but at times life anywhere is
pretty lawless. A. h~alf-caste running
amuk in such a community as that is
not so much out of the picture as a
gentleman in a lounge suit ~careering
about Charing cross road and letting
off a random pistol at the heads of the
passers-by. In Central and South
America they have revolutions as we
have golf championships; and an UNI
broken course of revolutions must In
evitably tend to making life seem fair
ly cheap. The stevedore i knew most
intimately at Almirante had been n
gagged in eight revolutions in Nicar-
aqua. He gave up his hobby when he
married, out of Difference to his wife,
who, poor, foolish twitterer, was afraid
for his life. So do weak women with
silken meshes of sentiment make pow
erless the gods of war. He told me.

the bananas going in at the, ships side

and to the sound of the negroes Groom
ling. Tt was dull work, comparatively,
feeding ships with bananas and emp
tying them of steel rails, but it was
safe, and that was what seemed to
matter most to the wife.
There had been times, in those other
days. when no revolution was consid-
cred complete without him. He smiled
gently and refniniscentlyas he recalled
them, swearing at the same time in a
soft, detached voice at a niger who
seemed to be funbling his job. Those
were days! 1t had been a pretty near
thing that time when the enemy had
run him down to the beach and the
boat that was waiting TO take him
away IL the worst came to the worst
suddenly steamed Off and left him.
And there was a invoice he had at
home that was worth keeping 1t
was made out to Capt. Jesse Grant,
and was a reply to his request for
more men with which to carry on the
revolution. The goods came, all roped
stoutly together. and with them the

volunteers. Tic YOU want more send
back the ropes. Yes, bananas were
dull after those times.

Insurance is Not Commerce.

Case n Comment: Declaring that
the large sums annually exacted from
corporations under the nretense of fees
for the privilege of doing business in
dlfferent states seems contrary to the
constitution of the United States
(Which declares against a state LAYING
imposts and denying the citizens of
each state the privilege of citizens in
several s~tates), the Hon. Arthur I.
Vorys, ex-superintendent f insurance
of Ohio, tells the advantages Of gov
eminent control of insurance compan-
les ove state control.
Under the present plan each insur-
ance company must o fulfill the
various requirements of each state In
which 1t enters. making out different
detailed statements In each at a high
cost while each state also requires A
force of accountants, bookkeepers.
3statisticians and clerks to compile this
information, the entire cost OF which
fallsson the policy holders who at the
present time contribute their funds
to maintain many state departments
when one would do.
The author declares that the present
premium taxation violates all the
principles of taxation laid out BY the
advocates of all systems Of taxation
and he points out the fact that as the
rates on premium do not usually vary
IN the dlfferent states according to
the respective state tax rates, there
fore the policy holders in the high tax
states do not pay all the assessments
on their premiums, but the noIicy
holders in low tax states pay all their
own taxes and also taxes on policies
IN high taxed states.
The only objection, urged against
federal control, say Mr.. Vorys. is thar
congress does not possess the power

Washington. June 5.-Sen. Al. b.
Cumnlins of Iowa stole a march on the,
democratic leadership of the upper
chamber when he offered a resolution,
following President Wilson's attack on
the tariff lobby for an investigation OF
it, But Sen. John w. Kern Of Indi-
ana, he democratic leader, awoke in
time to the fact that such an inVes-
LEGATION, naturally growing from the
president public statement. ought TO
come from the men of his party. Ac-
cordingly, Senator Cuimmins's resolu-
ton was changed considerably, and Id
form it passed. Most of the re-
lpublicans voted for the Curnmins res
