TO ASK LEGISLATURE FOR
STRlCTER INSURANCE LAW

Stricter insurance laws will be
asked when the new legislature meets,
it is learned. The present regulation
is too Loose because the law is too
indefinite, it is said Among the
changes asked viii be provision that
foreign companies doing business in
the territory be compelled to have
assets in the United States.
A general redrafting of the law
which will go down to the fundamen-
tai principles of insurance will be
asked.

NAILS HIMSELF
 TO THE FLOOR FANATIC DRIVES SPIKES THRU FEET AS GREAT CON
 GREGATION PRAYS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8.-While a great congregation kneIt in prayer in St. Mary's cathedral here yester' day Thomas D. Thornton, who gives his adress as Everywhere" drove spikes through his insteps into the floor and so nailed himself to trc boards. He used four inch spikes fo' the work and for hammer he used a length of gas pipe. During the hor- rible operation he never uttered a sound and for a time even those wnr sat near him were unaware of his purpose. He had even removed his shoes and stockings without attract ing attention. On discovery he was removed to the hospital. It is a5- sumed, although he has said nothing to that effect, that his purpose was to initiate the Crucifxion.
