Meantime Florence was borne along

the reporter? Braine continued to
pole along, sometimes pausing TO look
over the gunwale down into the wa

struggling in the water, about three
hundred yards away. The current
leisurely brought the object into full
view. It was young woman with
just power enough to keep herself

Braine proceeded to move the launch

Licenses for Commission Men.


Strict regulation of commission mer-

by Representative Nungesser, of Craw-
ford county. Licenses under the state
agricultural commission are provided
for and may be revoked any time for
participation in combination to raise
prices, failure to satisfy money judg-
ment, false charges for handling
produce, failure to account promptly
to consignor, making fraudulent set
tlement and other infractions. The
bill provides that merchants shall give
$1,000 bond to the commission to in
sure correct settlements with con-
signors and prescribes penalties of
from $25 to $500 for offenses.

says a superintendent Of insurance in
an analysis of their working after a
trial Of several years. THE business
OF life insurance has been purged ~

Of increasing returns to policyholders

these institutions and greatly benefit
the community ~ a whole"
The other great branch Of the in
surance business, namely fire. which
indeed IL the largest, has had its
investigations also. First in the
spring of 1910 the Superintendent OF
Insurance conducted a public inquiry
concerning the legislative activities Of
fire insurance companies, which had
been accused of doing more than they
should to promote or block legislation

by the e~xcitements, sensations and

inquiry a rival to the Lexow pol'cc

kind.
Fire Insurance Praised.
After that commission finished its
work fire insurance men were full OF
smiles. They said that fire insurance

and was completely smashed.
Bacon and John Keller of 633 East
Eighth street, his mechanician,
were thrown out toward opposite
sides of the track. Keller escaped
with two broken ribs and broken
finger. Bacon arose but stumbled
and fell. He was hurried to Della

that seven of his ribs were broken
two of them puncturing his left
lung, and his abdomen was crush

physicians hope for his recovery.
