INSURANCE FORESIGHT AND HINDsreHr

CTATE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER MCABE's alb
- stract Of statements OF the condition Of iusur-
ance companies licensed TO Transact business in this
State is interesting public document prepared by
him with painstaking care 1t shows what an import
ant part insurance is playing the protection Of the
comfort and the property OF Delawareans.
Incidentally II shows that many Delawareans who
should be insured regards both life and property
are not insured as TO either OF them To those
who are insured, such abstract as that issued by
Commissioner McCabe should be inspiration to con-
tnue and, in instances increase their insurance To
those who not insured it should bring realization
OF the folly Of their neglect in such an important
matter
We have operating here in Delaware many Of the best
Insurance companies in the world. There is no valid
reason why any man who has even a passing
regard for the future should protected properly
II should be borne In mind by all DeIawareans that
there are few things in which the wisdom of foresight
and the folly of hindsght brought into clearer
relief than in the matter Of life, casualty and sre
insurance.

ports Of the conditions Of the bank
to the comptroller Of the currency.
was resumed in the United States
Court today. with the prospects Of
the government concluding its direct
testimony today.
The trial started last Tuesday. 1t
is probable that the trial will not
be finished until at least Thursday.
w. r. Lockwood, previously identi-
Middletown bank, was recalled as the
Middletown bank, was recalled at the
first witness this morning Before
Court adjourned on Friday a juror
drew from Mr.. Lockwood the state
ment that although he knew of in
correct entries alleged TO have been
made in the bank book by Mr.. Kelley
In 1902, he did not report this mat
ter until 1912, when the board of di-
reetors ordered an investigation Of
the books of the bank.
Mr.. Lockwood testified today as to
the entries in various accounts which
he said had been changed by Mr.. Kel-
ley. In most cases the entries which
he testified to were increased by add
ing figures TO the original entry. The
bOOkkeeper said some of the ac-
counts were restored to their correct
totals, while others We're never cor
rected. He mentioned the n. p. Da-
Wis account, Emily c. Davis account
Mrs. Mary T. Cochran account, Shaw
Brothers, the Ella p. Cochran ac-
count and the Frank Allison account,
He keeps the individual ledger
and the individual journal. The wit
ness said the correct accounts were
entered in his journal, while the en-
tries which he alleged were joggled
by the former cashier we're shown
incorrectly in the ledger where they
had not been restored.

Ter at the Middletown bank, declared
that certain erased and odd figures in
the ledger which was placed before
him were in the handwriting of Mr..
Kelley.
1t was understood that Mr.. Lock-
wood had been promised immunity if
he would turn governments evidence.
but Mr.. Nields denied this rumor. The
fact that Mr.. Lockwood did not report
his admitted knowledge Of discrepan-
cies in the banks books for ten years.
is evidence that the bookkeeper had
some inkling Of what was going on
during that time. According to his
testimony he did not report the matter
of the incorrect accounts until the in
vestigaton was started in 1912, which
led to the indictment and arrest Of
Mr.. Kelley.
with the exclusion Of the Frank
Allison account. the alleged changes
totaled $1S,40O said Mr.. Lockwood.
He, Mr.. Lockwood, said he told Mr..
Kelly he would not handle pass
books (bankbooks) of the accounts
which we're altered. He said he
turned such passbooks over to Mr..
