This became known today following

ance; Frank c. Greene. member of a
commission appointed by Gov. James

members of the committee on insurance
of the American Bar Association.
The committee has drafted an elab-
crate insurance code for the District
of Columbia which will be considered
by the American Bar Association at Its
sessions to be held in Washington this
week.. If adopted the bill will be pre-
sented to Congress and its enactment
urged as the first step in movement
to bring about uniform insurance laws
throughout the country.
1t developed at today's conferences
that many of the features of the com
mittee's bill are approved by Supt. Mes
bit. who will cooperate with the COM
mittee in every way to bring about a
model" law for the National Capital.
Cites Importance of Uniform Laws.
In his annual report, submitted to the
Commissioners today, Supt. Nesbit en-
phasizes the Importance of uniform in
surance laws
He refers to the decision Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
the case of the German Alliance In
surance Company agt. Ike Lewis. con-
firming the decision of the state law OF
Kansas, giving the superintendent OF
insurance the right to fix and regu-
late rates for fire insurance.
This is one of the most far-reachlng
decisions of recent years" says Mr.
Nesbit.
1T marks the era when public rate
making replaces private rate-making.
1t is possible and probable that public
| rate-making based on schedules and
classifications will result In such adj
justment in fire insurance rates as will
tend almost automatically to reduce
defects and hazards in buildings. thus
acting constantly and powerfully to
decrease the annual fire waste OF this
country.
The annual fire waste Of the United
States averages about $3.50, GOT. 900. This
waste can be and should be greatly re-
duced. It is an Indictment OF the eco
nomic intelligence of the American peo-
| pie. It is to be hoped that in this par
ticular the District of Columbia Will be-
come an example to other sections.

INTERESTING CONVENTION
OF BANKERS IS EXPECTED
Federal Reserve Board and Treasury
Omcials to Discuss Phases
Of New System.

Federal reserve board and Treasury
oficials today expected an interesting
convention, beginning tomorrow. of the
officers and directors of the reserve
banks of the country. Arrangements
had been made to hold the convention in
the Pan-American building. but it is
now probable that space will be found
an the Treasury for the purpose.
Gov. Hamlin of the federal reserve
board, Secretary McAdoo and probably
Controller Williams will make speeches
to the assembling bankers, who will
be here to the number of about seventy
and will put in three days discussing
the preliminaries to the Inauguration
of the federal reserve system.
Expect to Start System Nov. Is.
1t was believed today that the bank
ers will find that the new system can
be started on it's work November Is.
The call for the first payment of one
sixth of the capital stocks of the banks
has been made for November 2, and
succeeding calls will follow, as deemed
best.
The federal reserve convention will
discuss all phases OF the work to be
undertaken. One suggestion hkely to
be adopted Is the appointment OF spe-
cial committee on mechanical devices

Paris View Of Fighting.
PARIS, October 19.-An uninterrupted
offensive movement by the allies at
certain points in northern France was
predicted here to-day as the battle was
resumed. The retaking of Armen-
there's, on the River Lys on the Belgian
frontier, and the occupation ten miles
west of Lille of the right line leading
toward Douai via Givenchy and Fro
melles were considered as constituting
an excellent advance guard position by
reason of its numerous places OF sup
port. This, with the progress in sew
eral other sections. notably Arras. gave
the allies hope of a continuance OF
their advance.
