If present insurance laws are Inadequate
Governor Brumbaugh said that evil will be
corrected. He smiled when he remarked
that he became the owner of n policy many
years ago when he was n struggling school
teacher
And wasn't earning a large salary In
those days" said the Governor. 81 remem-
ber how I saved my money for the day
when collections on premiums became due.
! can just imagine how polcyholders would
feel If they felt that their savings became
impaired"
The Governor in his interview said that
he has been giving the question of creating
better insurance laws careful consdera-
ton and had decided to touch upon that
feature in his message to the next legls-
lature.
WILL URGE CORRECTIVES
IF our existing insurance laws are not
adequate and do not protect the man who
buys insurance, | am certainly in favor
OF any enactment that will make his in
vestment safe" said the Governor.
MY message to the legislature when it
recnnvenes will contain something on the
question OF protecting ou citizens who
invest their savings in insurance policies
Don't you feel that in view of certain
facts disclosed in the investigation of Com
missioner omen into the anairs of two
insurance companies licensed under the
laws of Pennsylvania, an investigation
should be made of Insurance conditions
in this State?
'I have explicit faith in Commissioner
O'Neil." replied the Governor. HE is a
capable man, and / feel confident that his
department is qualified 10 cope with the
situation. But, should the facts warrant 1t,
/ am in favor of asking the Legislature
for such an investigation, i agree with
Mr.. Scarlet that such an investigation is
in the province of the Legislature"
Don't You think that Charles Evans
Hughes is the sort of man to conduct
such an Investigations"
Il agree with MIR. Scarlet that Mr.
Hughes would unquestionably qualify for
such an investigation But in the State of
Pennsylvania We have many eminent men
who undoubtedly could also perform the
same service, You must admit that we
haze many native sons in Pennsylvania who
possess the ability 10 perform the kind of
service for which Mr. Hughes is fitted"
Governor Brumbaugh added again that
he was keenly interested In seeing that
polcyholders were protected 10 the full ex-
tent OF the insurance laws,

PUBLIC DRIVES TURKS
TOLAST DEFENSE LINE
Housewives Leading Assault on
High Prices Take %
Cent Trenches

The turkey slid further down the price
toboggan today, and long before time for
the Thanksgiving feast, finelooSinB birda
we're selling as low as twenty-five cents
pound, Prices yesterday ranged from thirty
to forty cents n pound.
Butchers began to be worried this morn
ing when they saw there was no great
scramble for their birds They realized
that the Thanksgiving dinner gong would
sound soon, and they knew that unless they
dropped the prices they would have to
return their birds to cold storage vaults.
Ali along Ridge avenue from Seventeenth
street north turkeys were placed on sale
for twenty-six and twenty-five cents a
pound. Butchers in the Vicinity of Ridge
avenue and Wylie street were selling birds
as low as twenty-five cents. Several Of
the butchers who had their turks marked
twenty-five and twenty-six cents quickly
lowered the price to twenty-five cents when
they heard that others had done So Butch
ers all along the line showed disposition
to sell their birds at any price that would
at least bring back the money invested.
In Rensington the drop in price was not
80 pronounced, but in several of the large
markets turkeys were selling for thirty
cents, which Is ten cents lower than yes
terday's price. Chickens ducks and geese
remained at yesterdays prices.
Said one KensingtOn butcher:
"The boycott has been a success. Last
year sold 1900 turkeys before Thanks
giving. This year / have sold only >about
1000. or COURSE, the summerlike weather
has something to do with the drop in prico
today, The butchers realize that leftover
birds are very likely to spoil"
Many of the smaller butchers in Ken
sington dropped the price of turkeys to
twenty-eight cents.
Birds were selling in Frankford at thirty
to thirty-two cents pound; in Tacony at
from twenty-five to twenty-eight cents, and
in Port Richmond at from twenty-elght
to thirty cents.

 In 1908 Mir. Spickett became post master and served through 1912. He has been i'm the stationery and book store business but always connect ed in some manner with the show business, now being manager of the Orpheum.
 Those were the good old days, said Mir. Spickett last night. "Ey- erybody had the gold. could tell you some of the funniest things that ever happened outside of story book about those early days, but the funniest believe is what hap pened shortly after my company had opened here at the old Juneau Opera House.

 Believe me or not, there was not a stage hand or a member of my company in sight.
 "I went out on the stage for my encore, which l always took whether got a hand or not, and the last of the orchestra was disappearing.
 "I went back behind the scenes again. then to my dressing room.
 "I couldn't stand the sensation.
