OF FIRE INSURANCE
 COMMITTEE


 Your committe was appointed to in- vestigate the fire insurance rates in Phoen.X, for the purpose of endeavor- ing to secure lower rates by virtue of the recent extensions in paving and improvements in the fire department
 In 1909 insurance rates in Phoenix were materially reduced, and the fire insurance rates today are those which were made effective at that time
 h 1911 the engineers of the National Board of Fire Underwriters made an extensive report upon the fire lTsk in Phoenix and included recommendations for the improvement of the then cx- isung conditions. All of the important recommendations of those engineers fave been carried out. The city hence forth should have materially reduced | fire losses.
 Your committee has endeavored to | secure comparison of the rates estab- lished in Phoenix with the rates of other cities in Arizona. and also with other cities in the west Tn this work we feel deeply indebted to MT. Frank Slaker, of the Arizona Equitable rating office, and to MT. E. NJ. Davis manager of the Arizona Fire Insurance company who have been of great assistance. A report made by MT. Davis which fs attached and from which we shall ire | quentlysquote, gives in great detail the | comparative insurance rates, etc. etc. The residence insurance base rates in Phoenix are the same as those in Tucson; those of Bisbee are on an average 2 per cent higher, and those of Douglas and Prescott 17 per cent higher, In California the residence aa5c rates of East san Diego. one sec ton Of Los Angeles and those of On | tario are the same as in Phoenix. while I the base rates Of santa Monica, South l Pasadena and one section of San Diego are abOut 20 percent lower Those of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Riverside. san Der | nardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura

GREECE'S ATTITUDE.

"Waat will Greece do now?" is a
question which is being asked on all
sides here. Her treaty with Serbia
expressly stipulates that if one OF the
contracting parties already engaged
in war against a third power is at
tackled by Bulgaria as we'll, the allied
general staffis Of Greece and Serbia
must consult with view OF lmnledl'
ate acion.
The next step, therefore, it is main
taired here would rest with tne Greek
general staff, whose chief is King
Constantine. That the king will con
senc to depart from the policy OF arm
ed neutrality is doubted here' al
though Bulgaria has launched an az
my of 10000 men against Serbia.
Considerable dissatisfaction is ex'
pressed by French editorial writers
with the general handling of the Bal
kan situation. Stephen Piclon asks
to what extent Russia will help, or
whete:nr France and Great Britain
must stand virtually alone in going
to the aid of Serbia, although Rls-
sias interests in the Balkans are
greater than those of France and IT.

ChiefD
From Wound
Carl Nelson Passes in St. Paul
Hospital as Result of Bullet
Wound.

St. Paul, Oct. 13.-Carl Nelson,
chief Of police of Darlington, North
Dakota, died today Of gunshot
wound, received in a battle with four
holdup men early Sunday morning at
Darlington. $50 s.
A special train brought Nelson to
the hospital here from Darlington,
following the fight and he was operat-
ed on as soon as he arrived. s.
Darlington MOurns
Darlington, N. D., Oct 13.-All Car
rington is in mourning today as the
result of the death Of Police Chief
Nelson, who died at St. Paul this
morning. He gave his life in the
brave performance Of his duty here
last Sunday.
The chief was only rs years old.
He was married and had one child.
That he was we'll liked in this COM
munity was plainly evidenced when
the people of Darlington chartered a
special train to rush him to a St.
Paul hospital following the shooting
affray.
The two bandits who got away dur
ing the gun fight with the posse are
still at large, but the authorities OF
North Dakota, have joined in state
wide search to bring them to justice.
The theory has been advanced that
the bandit who shot the chief was
Frank Davis, the outlaw who was
killed, although many are confident
that it was the captured man, Leon
ard Sweringer, or one OF the other
two desperadoes who escaped in a
hail of lead.
1t is pointed out that just as the
chief fell after receiving the bullet,
a shot was fired from one of the
posse, killing Davis. Some believe
that Davis was at the head of the
bandits and consequently fired the
shot that struck the chief, but 9TH
ers are of the opinion that his assall-
ant fired and leaped to one side.
The excitement due to the smoke
of the guns and the binding flashes
as they spouted leaden messengers OF
death created a confusion in the
room and adjoining hallway which
makes it almost impossible to tell
lust who was responsible.

Boston Captures World
Series by Taking Last
Game IL Grand Finish

sprang a big surprise on the Sox
as we'll as on the crowd when he an
nounced ]. Erskin Mayer, Of Atlanta,
Ca, as the finger to make the last
stand for the home team. 1t had
been taken for granted that Alexan-
der would be sent to the slab. The
Sox were having batting holiday
at Mayors expense when Moran
stopped the proceedings in the third
and waived Mayer to the bench. The
home players had given Mayer two
runs in their half of the first, but the
Sox had hammered a similar number
and had gathered six hits off the
Georgian.
Col Rirey Called "
Col. Rixey was called to the mound
and the Sox's assault was suddenly
stopped. The home team gave the
Colonel two additional runs in the
fourth inning and it seemed that he
was destined to be winner until
the visitors took their eighth turn at
bat. Gardner, the first man up in this
frame connected with one of the left
handed offerings and sent it over the
infield for single. Duffy" Lewis
already accredited with driving in
two of the Red Sox's victories met
fast one squarely on the nose and
drove it into the outfield stand for a
homer. ....... ..
Up to this time, the thousands Of
fans had been confident of victory.
It was a cruel defense to the
depths of despair for them when
Lewis sent his homer into the stand
and tied the score. This long hit
made it possible for Hooper's homer
to give the finish touch to the game
and the series.
Foster Is Steady "
George Foster, of Oklahoma, won
his second game of the series. Smash
ed and hammered in the first and
fourth, Foster was always fighting
back. He never lost his head, fielded
splendidly and was always danger
GUS factor at the bat. He gave as
game an exhibition of pitching as
has ever been seen in any league.
The Phillies made nine hits off
Foster for total of thirteen bases.
While the closing game of the
series abounded in thrilling plays
and kept the spectators on edge
from the first to the final inning, it
was a loosely played contest, in which
the offensive strength of both teams
overshadowed their defensive work.
Hooper the Hero
While Hooper was the hero of the
game with his two home runs, the
second in the ninth inning, breaking
the tie and winning the championship.
Lewis did deadly work with his bat
during the series. In IS times at the
plate, he made hits. Foster, with
four hits in 8 times at bat, secured
a 500 average, while Luderus made
z in 16 trips to the plate.
Speaker drove out hits in II
chances; Hoblitzel in 16; Hooper
in 20; Bancroft 5, and Gardner in
II times at bat, and Paskert in 19.

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-After hav-
ing two strikes called on him in the
ninth inning, with one out, Hooper,
the Red Sox right fielder, hit a
grooved ball into the center field
stand for a home run, and the score
that gave the Boston Americans the
worlds championship Of 1915.
The Phillies still were due turn
at bat when there was not sole
among the more than 10000 crowded
in the park who did not know the
series was over and that the Boston
Sox had won another championship
of the world-four games to one.
Philadelphia did not get a man to
first in the ninth inning. T..
Was Fine Battle
This last game of the series was a
battle, from the jump, with the issue
ever in the balance. Twice it SEEM
ed that Philadelphia had winning
margin, but twice the Red Sox ham
mered their way to the front. Piling
up three runs in the eight and ninth
inning they got the decision 5 to 4.
It was a batting bee in which the
Phillies got an early start. Boston,
however, soon found the ball and be-
fore the end of the game had placed
three home runs in the center field
stand. Hooper got two of the homers
and Lewis the third. Luderus got
the only home run for Philadelphia
when in the fourth inning he sent a
high one over the right field wall
This was the end of the scoring for
the Phillies, for in the last five in
nings there was never threat OF
Philadelphia tallying.
Just Like Casey
The short fences of the Phillies'
little park confidently looked for
ward to as benefit to the home play
ers, proved in the end their undoing.
Cravath, home runner monarch of
the National League was expected to
break up several games with smash
es, but he got his long hits in Bos-
ton, where they were sheared for
sensational outs and before the home
crowd Gravy" could only paw the
air when the fans were frantic for
hit. He had an ideal chance today in
the first when the bases were full
and nobody out, but Gravy" hit in
to double play. His halo was de-
cidedly lopsided at this time, but
when famed twice thereafter it was
swept entirely away.
All through this series the Red Sox
have been just good enough to win.
They lost their first meeting with Al
exander but thereafter were not to
be denied. When the Philadelphia
team fielded brilliantly, the Boston
players showed with just that greater
degree of radiance, which narrowly
separates the winner from the loser.
Tide About to Turn
It seemed that the tide was about
to turn to the Phillies this afternoon,
when they carried the game to the
eighth inning two runs to the good.
But the Sox were out for victory,
and their stinging hits for total
of q bases sounded the death knell
of Phillies hopes.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Four hun
dred million for national defense, an
increase of S140,00.OOO over last year,
constitutes the amount which the
president and his advisers at present
estimate should be appropriated by

AS the date for completion Of the
annual estimates draws near, the
president is giving preliminary consid-
Grafton to the national defense qlles-
tion. out of which lit is hoped to lay
down a stronger naval program than
the Unied States ever has authorized
in its history and similarly a larger
provision for the military establish
ment than has been customary in
times of peace.
Details Not Revealed.
While tle details have not been re-
vealed, substantial increase in the
regular army probably from $1,000 to
at least 10000 men, and the creation
of a reserve Of perhaps 100000 men,
through short term enlistment service
Of citizens interested in military train
ing, are said to be part Of the plan.
AS yet, the exact appropriation to
be definitely recommended for the ar
my and navy respectively has not
been definitely fixed. Indications are
that the army's budget of s100,0G0y0OO
last year will be increased by at least
$6O,O0O,O00, while Secretary Daniels
