in court TO RECOVER
ON Insurance POLICY

Trial of the case Of the Baltimore
Life Insurance Company vs.. William
Floyd was begun before a jury in
Superior Court this morning, with
Ward, Gray and Neary representing
the plaintiff and Lilburne Chandler
the defendant
The case. which is an appeal. in
wolves the issuance of a life insurance
policy by the plaintiff company to
colored man named Hamlin. The
policy was issued on June 3, 1912, TO
Hamlin, who named Floyd as his
beneficiary Under the term Of the
policy S244 was to be paid in full to
the beneficiary should Albert Hamlin
die, providing the premiums had been
paid in full for a period of six
months
The defense contended that Hamlin
met his death by cremation in sta
bic beyond Market street bridge on
November IL, 1912, five months after
the issuance OF the policy, while he
was putting a horse away
The life insurance policy. which
was admitted in evidence, states that
should the holder Of the policy die
/ within the six month limit that only
half of the amount of the policy,
which would be S122, should be paid
to the beneficiary.
It was admitted by the plaintifi
company that the policy taken out by
Hamlin named Floyd as beneficiary
but Mr. Gray contended that the de-
fense had not shown that Hamlin had
ever been positively identified as the
man who was cremated in the fire
MIR. Gray also cOntended that Floyd
was not related TO Hamlin, as he
claimed to be the time the policy was
issued.
Former Coroner James T. Chandler
testified that he had taken the body
of the cremated man from the ruins
of the burned stable, but the body was
burned to such an extent that posi-
tive Identification was impossible.
AS Hamlin had been working about
the stable il was assumed the dead
body was his.
william Floyd, the beneficiary and
defendant, testified that he was &
cousin of Hamlin. and denied that be
had eyed paid any Of the premiumi
on Hamlin's policy.

By IoHN EDWIN NEvIN.

WASHINGTON, May lS.-Final in
structions were given the American com
missioners TO the Mexican mediation
conference by President Wilson today
The commissioners, Justice Joseph X.
Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman, ac-
companied by their secretary, II. Perci-
val Dodge, and Secretary of state
Bryan thoroughly canvassed the entire
Mexican situation with the President 1t
was stated after they left the White
House that they will proceed TO Nigara
Falls at Q o'clock tomorrow.
While the mediators would not dis
cuss the nature OF their instructions,
It is understood that the President
again reiterated that nothing less
than the complete elimination OF HUI
erta will be satisfactory to the
United States. 1t Is understood that
the President not only insisted that
this was the very least that.this coun-
try could accept, but that he also told
our representatives We could not ac-
cept any proposition regarding sue
cessor to Huerta which would place
him in the position of seeming TO dlc-
tate terms.
Inc president il uhotint" W no. "
stated that he believes the mediator7
themselves realize that Huerta must go
and believing this, he thinks the task
Of mediation is at least somewhat sim
pHhed. While the Mexican commission
ers are expected to haggle over any sug-
pestion calling for Huerta's elimination
vet it is believed at last they WI
willingly consent and do so with Huer-
ta's own permission. But il is expected
that before this point is reached, tho
question of a plan Of government iol
Mexico to replace that at present II
power in Mexico City viii have TO b'
taken up. There is a chance that wheer
this point is reached, Carranza may b'
recognized as a factor. The administra
tion believes that the Caranzista caas'
is eventually to triumph.

treated in Philippi for delivering the
poor girl possessed of a pythonical
spirit who had brought great gain to
her masters. St. Paul, filled with COM
passion at the obscession made it
cease whereat the girls masters, de-
prived Of what she gained for them,
heaped false accusation and indignity
upon the Apostle and his holy asso-
ciates who were thrown into prison
with their feet chained to the wall.
And they, out of all this injustice and
abuse and corporate suffering sang in
the night and praised God, the sub
Unity of such an elevation of spirit
evoking the miracle that followed. A
mighty earthquake shook the prison,
loosed the chains of the captives and
opened the prison doors. The keeper
of the prison was so terrified that he
would have killed himself, thinking
the prisoners had escaped. And did
they take advantage of their sudden
freedom, of the confusion, of the dark
ness to steal out hastily unobserved?
Far from it. St. Paul boldly called out
reassuringly to the keeper and pre-
vented his fear stricken suicide and
when the magistrates would have lib
Grated the Apostle slyly he sent them
the bold, manly rejoinder to which
they yielded. The keeper surrendered
as to something superhuman, tended
their wounds and received the faith.
Let us learn that power is virtue,
one of the greatest. And one of its
sources is a noble self-allegiance, a
great, but simple self appreciation
which springs from pure, constant
love of absolute truth and justice.
