Long Island. He would not admit that
any one connected with the tribe had
committed the act. The chief said that
the band would go to Newark.
For the last few days the Sheriff
has received word of the activity of
the band through various towns In
Long Island. He investigated and
learned of the hofd-up, which occurred
Ast Friday. Mrs. Samuel 6. Sadler,
wife of the keeper of the lodge, was
entertaining her two sisters, Mrs. John
J. Nonaria and Miss Edith Keil.
Suddenly. a big, rough looking man
appeared al a window and demanded
money Mrs. Sadler refused. The door
was forced omen. The house was COM
pletely surrounded, and at least twelve
men entered the room. All were said
to be gypsies The three women
screamed and were roughly handled by
the intruders. Unable TO subdue the
struggling women, the men held them
against the wall. while one of their
number chloroformed them. They then
broke open the cash drawer and made
their escape, leaving the women lying
on the floor
The next case that came TO the atten-
tion Of the Sheriff was the actions of
the band the day after the hold-up.
They camped, without permission, on
the outskirts Of the large estate Of B.
+. Yoakum. the railroad man, at Farm
ingdslc. Mr.. Yoakum boasts Of his fine
herd of Holstein cows, and his well
kept and productive cornfeld. The
gypsies showed their farm training by
getting lao quarts Of milk from the
cows and almost wagonload full Of

BRITISH LOSSES NOW
TOTAL 38l, 1888 MEN
Average for Last Two Months

London, Sept 14.-0fficial announce
ment was made to-day in the House OF
Commons that the total of British
army casualties up TO August 2l was
5sl, ,9s3 officers and men killed, wound
ed or missing
OF these 1865 officers and 70,992 Of
other ranks were killed or died Of
wounds; 9,973 officers and 24l ,086 Of
other ranks were wounded; 1901 Off
GERS and 53,466 of other ranks are miss
ing.
Losses of the British army during
the summer were somewhat smaller
than in April and May. This is prob
ably accounted for by the comparative
inaction along the Franco Belgian
frcnt II may be assumed that the
heaviest proportion Of losses was at
the Dardanelles.
The last previous statement Of the
total Of British casualties was made
by Premier Asquith on June 0. II
gave a total Of 26s.069 up to May 81.
The losses from that time up to Au-
gust 81 are therefore shown 70 have
been 1894. a daily average Of about
1900. In the two months before the

confession. This was continued until
at last, in desperation for the want OF
sleep, she did confess in order to Sc
cure necessary rest This confession
constituted the chief evidence OF the
state. The Judge instructed the jury
that confession obtained by force
should be ignored. and as there was

Jury brought in a not guilty verdict

More than this. it should not be re-
lied upon, because there is no proof

tial proof. Under such conditions. a

A common police error is the sup
position that the police must fasten
the guilt on some one. The police are
theoretically servants of the law. and
upholders Of justice. In practice, they
are too often concerned more in their
regulations than for the distractions
of justice.

INSURANCE RATES.

The Iowa legislature should give
earnest consideration to the bill for
the regulation of Insurance rates sub
mitted by Emory English, state iIsur-
ance commissioner. The bill contem-
plates the maintenance of uniform
rates on the same classes Of property
by FIRE, lightning, windstorm and hail
insurance companies doing business
in Iowa. The object aimed at Is salu-
tary. II the principle is approved
time should be taken to disclose and
remedy any errors of detail If OBJ
lection is taken to the principle the
Legislature should make it its business
to find and apply better one. The
| fire insurance business in Iowa is
/ sadly demoralized for lack of stable,
uniform rates, says the Sioux City
Journal.
The bill offered by the state insur-
ance commissioner provides for the
creation of rating bureaus. bureau
may comprise an insurance company,
a number of insurance companies or
a person or company not directly in
the insurance business. Every insur-
ance company operating in Iowa
would be required to affiliate with a
rating bureau and accept it's rates as
the basis for Iowa business. The rat
ing concerns would be subject to in
spection by the Insurance commission
er. Any property holder could, go to
a bureau and ascertain the rating on
his property. II he should believe the
rating unjust or discriminating he
, could appeal to the insurance commits
sioner, who would, after a hearing,
have the right to order the substitu-
ton of a reasonable, noadiscrimina-
tory rate.
If the proposed system should work
out as planned 1t would provide uni
form rates for like classes of prop.
; erty and like hazards throughout the
; state. The rates could not be made
too high. for it would be the business
of the state insurance department to
keep them at a reasonable level. I'm
der the lack Of system which now
,, prevails some policyholeers pay alb
normally high rates while others get
the benefit OF ab1ormally low rates
induced by cutth1oat competition. j
there is any business in which a
; standard of uniform, reasonable rates
should be maintained 1t is the fnsur
ance business. Everybody must un
derstand that there Is no such THING
as an insurance bargain. A company
, cannot sell insurance below cost and
! continue in business. Every cent thai
, is paid out to the policyholders must
: be paid n by the policyholders. The
!, insurance company is merely cen
trail agency in which policyholders
pool their risks and hear their losse:
in common, paying the central agenc!
, a fair commission for its trouble. Un
der the circum stances it Is idle t.
urge insurance companies to compett
in making low rates to get business
Just as soon as company gets Il
making rates that are too low, th1
more business it gets the sooner i

holders will be the main losers.

IOWA'S BACKWARD STEP

and offered il to the legislature WIS
consin was at that time building hard
surfaced roads with state aid aad un-
der state supervision
Ii was nearly four years ago that
the people OF Minnesota adopted an
amendment to the constitution by
popular vote providing for the levy OF
q tax for state aided roads under
state supervision
They are having tremendous up
hessal in wisconsin over the alleged
extrayagance OF state administration.
and yet nobody is proposing to repeal
the road law.
If Iowa two years ago went to sucn
lengths. why did Illinois. which has
becn experimenting for many years
VITA roads built under local supervts-
ion. 60 SO much further than Iowa
and provide for state aided and state
supervised roadsa
Nobody thought Iowa was doing
much at the time. The new road law
was drafted and adopted largely to
head of state aid for hard surfaced
reads. Its friends and sponsors look
ed upon it merely as a first step. The
argument was that the bridges ought
to be built and the culverts located
and the permanent grades established
first Nobody doubted two years ago
that this legislature would add to the
present law rather than take away
, from it.
Not a single state OF the forty-one
that have gone to state supervision
has ever taken the back track On
the contrary every state Is doing
more and doing better road work
Nobody can appreciate lust how
this matter is regarded until he goes
to a state Hike Washington. where II
costs more to cut a right of way
through the forests than building
road comes to il Iowa. and there
finds state aided granaled road better
than any in Iowa. where for miles and
miles there is not an adjoining acre
of land occupied or benefited
II is no victory for good roads Tor
Iowa to merely save the present law
important as saving the present law
is. Iowa Will lose two years more II
that is all. The present law does
nothing but secure the foundations
But what is a foundation IL nothing
goes above 1t?

owners OF more than reasonable
commission on the cost of carrying
their insurance. On the other hand.
th., state should not leave the com
panies without some means by which
uniform, reasonable rates may be
maintained. The important thing from
the public standpoint is that the rates
shall be uniform as we'll as reason
able and that there shall be no favor

ers of the same class. If the Eng
fish plan shall be found to NIL the
long felt want it should be adopted.
IF ii should be found wanting the

Johnston Bin Passes.

Dubuque Times,Journai. For sew
aeraI days it had been evident the
Johnston road bill. abolishing the
state highway commission would pa S
the house This result was made
sure when the Barry substitute was
defeated on Wednesday. Thursday
By vote of 81 to as the house APP
proved the most reactionary measure
in the matter OF road development
that ever has been offered in Iowa
The forces that are determined to
return absolute control OF highway
and bridge construction to boards of
supervisors. without state supervision
either in the matter of cost or eharac-
ter OF work and without regard to
the essential matter of state uniform
ity, have triunlphed-at least temper
arily.
What the state highway commits
sion has accomplished in the matter
OF net saving on bridge and road con-
struction for Dubuque county, as re-
cent contracts on open bids demon
strate. has been accomplished in
greater or less degree in most OF the
counties
Should the bill pass it means the
abolition of the highway commission
and a return to system that has
been abandoned by forty-one states OF
the union.
Evidence is abundant, however. the
measure will be killed in the senate.
The unfortunate feature is the fact
certain needed amendments to the
present law which should have been
made by the house, may now be lost
But there is satisfaction in the
thought that the present law, even
with its imperfections, is not to give
way to a measure as reactionary aa
il is vicious. It is to the credit OF
Representatives Kane and Horschem
of Dubuque that their votes were
registered against the bill.

Des Mniles Register and Leader:
why Is it SO hard to fix IN mind that

The uniformed listener to the de-
bate might gather the impression
that in creating highway commits
sion with authority Iowa had out-run
all precedent.
The fact is there are but seven
states that do not have state super
vision OF roads. OF the remaining
forty-one more than thirty give state
aid and several build state roads.
