6snaoial to the Earner.1


 Hartford, May 1s-Ignoring the suggestion of the insurance commit tee the General Assembly in the final rush of business has damned through the bill incorporating the commercial insurance company of Bridgeport. The incorporators named in the bill are Elmore s. Banks. William E. See1ey. Edward K. Nicholson, Arthur F. Connor and J A. H. Robinson.
 When the bill was first introduced Insurance Commissioner Mansfield protested against the granting of a charter because of the fact that a paid in capital of. only $25, 1000 was required to begin busin ess.y He also suggested that the company be re- duired to create a surplus of not less than $100, 900.
 On a report from the insurance committee the Senate late Friday af- ternoon passed a bill granting the charter with the requirements that a paid in capital of $250.0O0 be sub- scribed before business is begun and that the company create a surplus of $100,eO0.
 When the bill got to the House it was amended so that the required surplus is but $25. 5000. In it's amend

 In objecting to the small surplus Insurance Commissioner Mansfield pointed out that such a sum as $35.- 900 would be quickly dispersed in the establishing and equiping of agencies. The legislature, however, saw fit to disregard his suggestions.

Sisters Who Befriended Starving
Wandered Notified Of $4,000 Bequcst

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Word was received by Mrs. Jennie
Wolf and Miss Bessie Gordon, sis
ters, that they had been bequeathed
$4,000 by a young man who, i'll and
hungry, knocked at their door four
years ago and asked for food.
William Pepper, son of a Prague.
Bohemia, art dealer, was the man
whom they befriended. He told Mrs.
Wolf and her sister that he was too
proud to let his people know Of his
condition. He was given clothing,
shelter and medical attention. In
1911 he returned TO Bohemia, advis-
ing the sisters that when he died he
would remember them in his will.
The sisters were notified Of the be-
quest through Chicago attorneys
commissioned by an attorney IN
Prague to find them.
