Heroic Tale of the Sea
Unfolded When Survivors
Wrecked Steamer Arrive
BODY. IN SHACK
NOT G. MILLER

Regina, Sask., Jan. 6.-According to
information. received today by DR.
McCutcheon, 1t would now appear
that the man who was found dead in
a shack north Of the city a few weeks
ago, who was pronounced a suicide by
a coroner's jury and buried under the
name Of George Miller, is not George
Miller at all. ..,r. siz.,,
A letter. enclosing two photographs,
was received by DR.. McCutcheon from
John Mclaughlin Of Tolley, n. D..
where Miller was well known, and ey-
ident to those who saw the body of
the dead man that these Photographic
are not Of him.
II am positive it Is not the same
man." said DR.. McCutcheon, and add
ed that it was impossible that there
were two George Millers residing in
the same district.
Corporal Whebell. who had charge
Of the case, is at a loss to know how
the identity Of the man could have
been mistaken. He was%known here
as George Miller; 1t was understood
that he came from Tolley, N. D.. and
he had property in his possession that
could not have belonged to any other
man.
George Miller was found dead in a
shack on Dec. 13, where he had been
taken, at his own request, by John
Shawcross two days previous. A re-
volver lay at his side, and a bullet
wound running from the roof of the
mouth to the brain was discovered by
DIR. McCutcheon at the post mortem.
No evidence was given at the in
quest to show why George willer, with
a horse and wagon containing settlers
effects, should have been driving
about upoi. q strangers farm to the
north of Regina

! Supreme Court in Session.

'a .t N -
Washington, Jan. 6.-The supreme
court will resume its sessions Monday,
and it is expected that. a large number
of opinions will be handed down.
Many cases Of importance, have been
set for hearing in the weeks following
the reassembling of the court after
the holidays.
The Titanic cases, involving claims
against the Oceanic Steam Navigation
Co. OF Great Britain for the loss of
life and property due to the wreck of
the. Titanic, are among the most inn
portant that will be heard. The ques-
ton is whether the measure OF
liability shall be fixed under British
law or that of the United States
Under the domestic law the liability
would scarcely amount to 100000
while under the British lay it is esti-
mated that it would exceed $1,000
900.
The appeal IN the contempt cases
involving officers Of the American
Federation of Labor will be heard
soon after the court reconvenes. The
case Of Henry, a broker in New York,
who refused to testify before the Pujo
committee in the money trust investi-
cation and who was convicted OF con-
tempt in the lower court, is to be
heard on appeal early in the term.

HAMPER THE OTHER BANKS

New York, Jan. 6.--Although Sec
retary McAdoo said he had formulat-
ed no views regarding the division of
the country into regional reserve
districts, he gave strong intimation
that he Is opposed to the creation. in
New York, of a, huge regional bank
embracing most OF the northeast and
40 or so per cent Of the country's s
banking power. Such bank Is ad-
vocated by New York bankers. +
IF we put 40 or so per cent of the
banking power into a New York dis
trict," said McAdoo, eve would be
obliged, under the law. to divide the
remaining territory into seven dis
tricts that would be comparatively
lean"
McAdoo said the establishment of
two or three banks In the northeast for
example, New York, Boston and Balti-
more, would not dislocate the closely
interviewer business and financial re-
lations Of the northeastern territory.
He suggested the establishment of
more than one bank would facilitate
the course of exchange and mercan-
tile transactions between these dis
tricts.

Taylor Discusses
Insurance Matters.;
<A
he Is Candidal>
Commissioner of Insurance Is in the Field for Reelection
He Says in Interview With Forum
Does Not Believe the Hail Insurance Law Identical With
the Bonding Law .a.~ .,.

insurance matters were discussed
today by Hon. w. C. Taylor, COM
missioner of insurance. who is in the
city in connection with an examina- =
G1on OF the Pioneer Life Insurance
Co., which is being made jointly by
the insurance departments Of North
Dakota and Minnesota. No signifi-
cane whatever attaches to the ex-
animation, Mr.. Taylor said. Our laws
require that periodical examinations
shall be made Of all authorized in
surance companies, and inasmuch as
the Pioneer Life is licensed in Min
nesota, the department of that state
was asked to assist in the work.
Our department will be exceeding G
ly busy during the next four or five
months" said the commissioner. ''re-
ceiying and checking the annual
statements of insurance companies
doing business In this state, preparing
abstracts for publication in the news
papers, issuing licenses. etc. We
will also turn into the state treasury
during that period in the neighbor-
hood Of $150.000, covering fees and
taxes"
Mr.. Taylor declined to comment up
on the decision recently handed down
by the supreme court declaring the
state bonding law invalid. The only
thing that has appeared in the press
in that connection to which object"
he said, ''Was the statement that I
had had printed a full complement of
supplies for the proposed department,
including records, policy forms, ap-
Dlication blanks, stationery, etc. This
is a gross error No supplies of any
sort had been printed nor any expense
whatever incurred" r..
The commissioner expressed the
opinion that the whole subject of in
surance rates would be gone into ex-
tensively by the next legislature.
There Is no reason to suppose that
the people of this state will be de-
TERED by the adverse decision of the
supreme court in the bonding case"
he stated. "On the contrary imagine
that decision will only serve to give
zest to the inquiry. Remedial legis-

! lation, If it is determined that any Is
needed, would likely take form In the
creation Of a commission authorized
to investigate the subject Of rates; to
hold public hearings, receive COM
plants and issue suitable orders if
rates were found excessive or dis
criminatory. OF course the findings
and orders of such a board or COM
mission would be- subject Ito review

petent jurisdiction. Such a law is now
in effect in several states, and seems
to work well. BY this means the pub
lie is informed as to whether or not
rates are excessive, doubt and
suspicion are allayed and justice is
done to all concerned" af~e
Referring to the suggestion that the
state hail insurance law might be de-
clared to be unconstitutional on the
same, set of pleadings upon which the
state bonding law was invalidated,
Commissioner Taylor said that he did
not consider the cases identical by
any means. However," he added, "I
should be glad to. have the matter
put to the test It Is absurd to sup
post that a sovereign state cannot
engage In the insurance business If it
wants to. If necessary we can do as
is now being done in Wisconsin,
WneFS tne STATE constitution Is De1nS
amended SO as to specifically author
ize the state to engage in all classes
Of the insurance business. Whether
such departure is wise or practicable
is another matter. But 1t can be
done"
Mr. Taylor said the simmering Of
the political pot had become quite
audible at the capital. "And that re-
minds me- he continued, ''that saw
last evening In a ST. Paul paper a
political story emanating from Grand
Forks in which it was stated that I
am an uncertain quantity as to be-
| coming a candidate for reelection
Personally, this is interesting If true.
However. had supposed that was q
full fledged candidate for reelection,
and I should like to be considered as
such from, now on.'' 5s

Washington, D. c., JAM 6.-Com-
plants have been made to Attorney
General McReynolds that the. price OF
hard coal is soaring and It is alleged
the Pennsylvania state tax, on every
ton Of anthracite mined within its bor-
ders is responsible.
The department of justice has been

that 1t Is unconstitutional
The Pennsylvania tax is 21s per cent
of the cost of mining each ton. 1t is
estimated the state will raise nearly
$5,000,000 annually from that source.
According to information the oper-
ators charged mp the full tax to re-
tailers and they in turn passed 1t on

 For the first part of her programme Miss Hall gave an excellent resume of the life of Paul Lawrence Dunbar the great poet of. the colored race. Paul Dunbar did for his own people what Burns did for the people of Scot land. Hetwas born in 1872, the son of Joshua. and Matilda Dunbar, who were both. slaves His father ran away from bondage and escaped to Canada at time when there seemed to be no hope for. the slaves. but his mother remained in bondage until freed by Lincoln's proclamation.
 At an early period in PauIs life his father died and left the boy and his mother to struggle ass best they could. His mother kept him at school and he graduated from high school in 1891. It was then that his real strug- gle began and after wandering about in search of employment he was forced to accept position as elevator boy at a wage of $4 per week His poems attracted attention when he was quite young. Friends helped him in various ways and had his poems published in many of the leading news papers in the country, thus opening for him to way to renown.
 For the second part of her pro- gramme Miss Hall gave rendering of one of his prose works and in con- clusion she recited one of his hu- morous poems. Between each part there were Old Plantation Melodies with solos and duetts. Refreshments were served by the committee. The general arrangements were in charge of Prof. Geary. and Mrs. Geary and Jennie Moreland' had charge of the tickets.
