URGES THE ENACTMENT
OF NEW INSURANCE LAW
Ernest Judson Clark Says the Dis
trict Code Is Out of
Date.

The passage of the bill which has been
on the House calendar for two years for
new insurance law for the District of
Columbia was urged last night by Ernest
Judson Clark of Baltimore. president of
the National Association Of Life Under
writer's, at the annual banquet of the
District Of Columbia Life Under
writer's Association. at the Raleigh Ho-
tel. Mr.. Clark argued that the present
District insurance code is out of date. He
described the pending District insurance
bill. which is designed to regulate field
practices, providing penalties for rebat-
ing, misrepresentation on the part of
agents. stock jobbinss. <unbezzlement and
'.part-time men," the latter being hold
ers of government positions who spend
their spare time in writing policies. He
said that the National Association Of I'm
derwrirers favored number OF specific
insurance bills rather than a new code
to supplant the one now in force. He
characterized the present code as being
probably the worst in the country.

TO SOLVE FUEL PROBLEM
BY UTILIZING SUMS RAYS
c. G. Abbott Advances Suggestion
Regarding Volume of Heat
Now Going to Waste.

The possibility of utilizing the rays OF
the sun for cooking and for other pur-
poses for which artificial heat is now
used was discussed by C. G. Abbott, di-
rector of the astrophysical laboratory of
the Smithsonian Institution, in an adj
dress last night at the Franklin Institute,
Philadelphia.
In his lecture Mr.. Abbott described a
device composed of series of condens-
ing mirrors, by the use of which the
Servatory have been able to boil water
He also spoke of the sun motor invented
by a resident of Philadelphia, which. he
said. has been the subject of interested
study by solar scientists. The sun mo-
tor. Mr.. Abbott said, is in practical oper-
alton in Egypt, where it is used for the
development of heat and power on a
commercial scale.
Makes a Prediction.
Mr.. Abbott, whose lecture was on GER
tain interesting solar phenomena not re-
lated to the utilization of the suns heat
in lieu of cook stoves and ranges, offered
the prediction that it is within the
bounds of possibility to SO make use of
the rays of the sun. and expressed the be-
lief that science will within a compare
lively few years find means of utiliz-
ing the immeasurable volume of heat now
practically going to waste, and thus solve
the problem offered by the worlds de-
creasing fuel supply.

MAYOR ORDERS WAR
PARADES TO STOP

New York IL neutral city. There
will be no more parallels or other public
demonstrations Of sympathy with any ~
the warning nations. No laEs will wave
except tho stars and Stripes
So Mayor Mitchell requested" yestcr-
d.y IN the following proclamation:
During the past two or three days the
enthusiasm Of some OF our French and
German American fellow citizens has
caused them to march about the streets
in procession in demonstration Of their
synpa 'hy with their respective native
countries. This enthusiasm is perfectly
natural and easily understood under the
circumstances. but the United states is a
neutral nation and has been so pro-
claimed by President Wilson.
THE population OF this city is cosmo-
poltan. In It we have people OF German
OF French. OF English, OF Italian. OF
Austrian and OF Russian blood. Public
demonstrations OF sympathy by people
of a particular race. while natural from
their point Of view, are calculated to
breed i'll feeling upon the part Of their
fellow citizens of other blood and sym
pathies and should not take place in this
cosmopolitan and entirely neutral city
Furthermore such demonstrations are cal
culated to breed disorder and it Is the
duty OF all OF us. particularly at this time.
to conserve the peace and order of this
community.
81 therefore request all persons to re-
frain from marching in the public streets
for the purpose OF demonstrating their
sympathy with any one Of the European
nations al present unfortunately at war
and from all other public demonstrations
of like character
81 further request that flags other than
the American nag be not displayed within
the city during the continuation of the
hostilites between the European nations.

course will. feel sure. appeal 20 tina

U. S. NOT TO HOLD UP
ANY RESERVIST SHIPS
Presidents Proclamation Per-
mits Men to Sail to Join
Their COlors.

WAsHl$GToS, Aug s--Oficials ~ the
Stat" Department said tonight that the
question ~ permitting vessels having as
native countries to fight had not been
formally presented to tho Department.
The indications are that the Department
would decide that II is not necessary
for the United states to stop the de-
parturo OF such ships
It WAS pointed out that French liner
left yesterday with nearly 2,eO0 French
reservlsts aboard and that the Presidents
neutrality proclamation contains a pro-
vision generally interpreted as specially
permitting reservists to return 10 their
colors
Paragraph ~ the neutrality proclama-
ten. which In verbatim citation from
the neutrality laws of the United States.
contains a prohibition against allowing
any person IN go beyond the limits Of the
United States with intent to be entered
into the service OF bclligrrent govern
mont. Then follows this statement:
but the said act Is not to he con-
strued to extend to "A citizen or subject
within the United States shall :.
enlist or enter himself or hire or retain
another subject or citizen OF the same
hcllgcrent who IL transently within the
United States to enlist or enter himself
to serve such bellgerent ."
Article VI OF the Hague convention
provides. THE responsibility of a
neutral power is not engaged by the
fact OF persons crossing the frontier
separating to offer their services to one
of the heligerents."
That the reservists chance to go in large
bodies in II single ship is not regarded
a. affecting the case. II Is pointed out
tina, they do not go as military organiza- %
tons, but merely M groups of men. The
preponderance OF opinion In that the
United States is not obliged by any of
its agreements or duties to stop the re-
servist ships
Having permitted some To leave alrea ly
the question might be raised that II was
unfair to other belllgerents TO stop sub
sequent reservist ships. II was recalled
also that the United States made no OBJ
lection TO Italians returning to Join he
Italian reserves during the war with
Turkey three years ago nor to the return
OF Greeks, Bulgarians and other Balkan
peoples during the Balkan war.
