SETS INSURANCE RATE
COMMISSION FIXES
AMOUNT TO BE CHARGED.
Average of s3.46 Per $500 of Payroll
Is Approved for All Metalliferous
Mines in State.
Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The state industrial COM
mission notified the private insur-
ance companies that it will approve
a premium rate of S3.75 per 800 of
payroll for furnishing workmen's
compensation insurance for under
ground employees in metalliferous
mines. and a rate of $3.50 per 500 of
payroll for insurance of surface
workers of the same class of mines.
The two rates would make an average
rate of s346, in contrast with s4.15,
which was first proposed by the COM
panies. sS.92 later proposed by them
and $685. finally filed by them with
the commission
In addition the commission will rule
that % per cent of the rate will be
cut off for employers supplying medi-
cal and hospital service in accord
ance with the law.
The action of the commission in no.
tifying the companies that it will ap-
prove an average rate of S346, while
the companies filed one of $3.S5, indi-
CdleS ludI lle COuiulioSiOA ltSch Will
charge S3.46 for insurance in the state
fund. This, it is expected, will in
duce the private companies to lower
their rate to meet the one put in
force by the commission.
The committee of metalliferous
mine employers which considered the
subject for two days with the com
mission is satisfied with the rate in
Dictated by the commission. 1t is not
as low as the mine employers be-
lieve they should receive, but they
say they feel that the commission is
acting conservatively, so that there
will be no possibility of insolvency OF
the state compensation insurance fund
through an insufficient income be-
cause of too low premium rates.
The action of the commission has
removed the probability that mutual
insurance company will be formed by
the metalliferous employers. ma
jority of them will now undoubtedly
take out their compensation insurance
with the state fund, according to Fred
Carroll, state mining commissioner
who headed the committee that met
with the commission.

HEAVY LOSS.
western Newspaper Union News service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago, July S-Tornadoes and
cloudbursts, sweeping eastward from
the Missouri river valley, caused
heavy damage and loss of life in
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
Tornadoes swept districts northwest
of st. Louis, blowing part of Wa
bash railroad train from the track
and devastating st. Charles, Mo. The
wind at St Charles blew eighty miles
an hour.
Similar storms were reported to
have struck ST. Peters, Mo-, and Law
renceville, Ill. First reports said two
persons were killed at Lawrenceville.
Exceptionally heavy rains were re-
ported from all sections of the af-
fected territory, especially at Rock
Island, ILL.,, and Cincinnati, o. At the
latter place the heaviest loss of life
was due to the capsizing of river
boats and it is feared many others
have been drowned at other points
along the river.
Official forecasts for the storm
swept territory promised a cessation
of the disturbances today. Last night
st. Charles, city of more than 49,
900 population, was in total darkness
except for kerosene lamps and can
dies. The electric plant was put out
of commission. The entire front of
Factory No. of the American Car
and Foundry Company was blown in.
| The storm came from the, southwest
but as it struck the city it swerved
north and swept the entire central
portion. The first volley of wind was
followed by the heaviest rain in the
memory of a generation, and this by
hail The storm then swept across
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
and into Madison county, H., but there
its fury seems to have been spent.
An automobile party which rushed to
| ST. Peters returned to st. Charles and
reported that while every house in the
town had been badly damaged, and
many demolished. no one was killed
and few persons were hurt.
The town, however, was almost bur
led under stacks of wheat which had
been carried from neighboring fields.
Cincinnati.-A score of persons are
believed to have lost their lives, and
many more are known to have been
injured, some seriously, as a result of
one of the most severe wind and rain
storms ever experienced in this sec
ton of the Ohio valley.

The superintendent of education in

the enlightened thought that the Ne
gro would be less a menace to the
community If he were educated. He
called a meeting of the white folks in
the courthouse and tactfully asked
them If they would be pleased to hear
addresses from three educated colored
persons. They agreed to listen and
two Negro teachers and a Negro edi-
tor from Tuskegee presented the Cos
pei of education for usefulness for
which that institution is famous. The
white folks were persuaded. They
thereupon decided to add to the

Lafcadio Hearn held that the term
Negro melodies" is a misnomer. He
traced all Negro songs back to Eng
lish, Spanish and particularly French
sources. The old ballads of these peo-
pie which were in vogue at the time
of settling in America were adapted,
transformed, Africanized by the Negro
slaves, and preserved in their new
form long after the originals were for
gotten.
Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct
in essentials, but it has one defect. 1t
does not give full credit to the Negro
element in these tunes as they exist
now.
If the Negroes had not been a mu-
steal race, they never would have
taken over and finally made their own
the music of their masters. The In
dams, a far more stiff-necked and in
dependent race than the Africans,
have no such group of songs to their
credit, not even where they form an
overwhelming majority of the popu-
lation. Mexican bands do not play
Aztec music, and it is not 'of record
that Peruvian audiences listen to
Quichua variations on Spanish airs.

Negro business enterprises, and the
number now has increased to $4,000.

Naval Expert of Berlin Gives Reasons for Great
 Britain's Supremacy
By "Hop"

Berlin. September H.-via London. September 21.)-Count Won Reventlow. the naval expert of the Tages Zeitung, in an article today on the comparative strength of the British and German fleets, says in part:
 "No one cognizant of the circum- stances doubted an instant at the be- ginning of the war or before that it would be impossible to dispute with success British mastery of the ocean. If the building programme of the German fleet had been further ad- vanced at the beginning of the war and if instead of a slackening in building in consequence of viscount Haldane's ne- gotiations the building had been &C., celerated for a series of years, the sit- uation unquestionably would have been better. But the British may thank their supremacy not alone because of their great numerical superiority but be- cause of their geographical position"
 The British, Count Reventlow says, have as a base, long line of coast with many harbors and suportinE points against which the Germans have only one point in the restricted Helso- land triangle and the German fleet, therefore, will always be in a position of strategic inferiority until this condition is remedied. The writer backs the demand made by Albert Ball. lin, managing director of the Ham, burg-American line. made some months ago. that Germany at the end of the war must have more extended base line.
