tentiOn Of the Legislature which has
demonstrated that the cost To the state
OF going into the rating business would
be enormous while II could not be
done az effectively and intelligently
by state officials as by trained In
surance men.
II IN said that bill possibly will

mittee " the house creating board
composed of the state insurance com
missioner, the state fire marshal and
some one appointed by the governor
which would have supervisory con

Complaints TO Board,
Under such measure the rating

MRS. TATUM BOMBARDS
HUBBY'S MAN With EGGS
Doesn't Miss a Shot, and He Looks
Like a Cubist Sunset When
Constable Arrives.

New York. Jan. 2S-Constable James
Hynes, OF Great Neck. Long Island, got
a hurry call this morning to go to the es-
tate of John c. Tatum, whose troubles
with his wife, Mary Jane Tatum. have
kept Great Neck and vicinity in a state
of excited interest for some weeks
There's the devil to pay out here"
Robert Pearsall, superintendent OF the
estate, said to the constable over the
phone. Don't waste any time. come
quickly
When Hynes reached the Tatum es-
tate he found Pearsall looking like a
cubist painting of a sunset.
How'd the paint get on your clothes?
asked the constable
"Paintr' exclaimed Pearsall. That's
eggs! Mrs. Tatu.l chucked 'em at me-"
And then he proceeded to tell his
troubles. Mrs. Tatum, who. after her
divorce suit hearing, besieged her home,
drove her husband and his relatives out
Of 1t and took possession, claiming half
of everything there, sent a servant out
TO the poultry house yesterday to get
some fresh eggs.
Pearsall ordered the servant TO return
to the house eggless. He said the hens
and their products belonged exclusively
to Tatum.
"oh. well. we'll see about that" cried
Mrs. Tatum when the servant Drought
back the news. Then she ran to the
chicken house with a hammer, did a
Carrie Nation" to the windows, climbed
through and filled a basket with eggs.
She was departing in triumph when
Pearsall called to her.
Half OF everything in this place be-
longs to me-" Mrs. Tatum said to the
superintendent.
'aThen leave Mr.. Tatum's half" re-
piled Pearsall
Take them" cried Mrs. Tatum. There
upon she began pelting the surprised
superintendent with eggs. And Pearsal
says her throwing showed she was in the
big league" class. Every egg she hurled
found its mark-and left one. Having
thrown half of the eggs in the basket at
Pearsall; Mrs. Tatum said:
Now. there's Mr.. Tatum's half" And
with the good eggs she went to the
house.

MAY CHANGE DATE OF
BIG CANALS OPENING
Official Ceremony May Be Postponed
from March 4 to July 4,
Is Report.

Administration officials expect Presi-
dent Wilson will postpone the ceremony
of the opening of the Panama Canal
from March 4 until July 4. The Presi
dent gave the first intimation he is in
clined to order the postponement yester-
day in informing a delegation OF North
Carolinians that he might find 1t impos-
sible to accept their invitation TO deliver
an address in that State July l.
Later the President discussed the pos
sible postponement with Chairman
Adamson, of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, and
with Secretary of the Navy Daniels. AL
though no announcement was made, Off
cials seemed to regard the postponement
as almost a foregone conclusion. 1t is
said that among the reasons which move
the President to favor postponement are
the belief that more time should be al
lowed for insuring against slides In the
canal and a desire that the celebration
be held under the better weather condi-
tions prevailing in July.
