INSURANCE RATES
 ARE INCREASED IN
 ALBANY DECATUR
Alleged Excessive Fire Losses Are Said to Be Cause of Action by
 Companies

Albany, July e.-(Special.)- .)--An ad- vance In the insurance rates of AL bany, Decatur and Austinville was an- nounced today by local fire insur- ance agents. The advance is 20 cents a hundred on shingle roof dwellings in Albany and Decatur 10 per cent on frame mercantile buildings and stocks and 10 per cent on the stocks only of mercantile buildings of other th4n frame construction. Slightly higher raises are made at Austinville. while supplemental raise of 25 cents on the hundred dollars, in addition to oth- CT raises for Decatur, is announced because of alleged excessive fire losses As a result of the raise, the local city councils will be appealed to to enact more stringent fire laws, es- pecially law prohibiting the use of shingles for roofing purposes within the corporate limits. The passage of such an ordinance would automatically halve the announced raise on shins5e roof dwellings.

PROHIBITION
BILL PASSES
BY BIG VOTE

Washington, Feb. 22.-Legislation
absolutely barring importation Of
liquor into prohibition states stood ap-
proved today by Congress-. The final
stage in the enactment of the legisla-
ton was reached late yesterday when
the House voted, 319 to 72, to concur
in the Reed 'bone dry amendment
to the post office appropriation DILL
The amendment already had been ap-
proved by the Senate.
The bill, with it's prohibition proVl-
sion, accepted by the House without
change, and other Senate amendments
which were disagreed to, now goes to
conference of the two houses. 1t IS
regarded as unlikely, however, that tho
prohibition feature will be changed
and President Wilson is expected to
give is approval, thereby adding I'M
mediately to the ''bone dry" territory
about a third of continental united
States. The bill also contains provi-
sion barring liquor advertisements IN
states that prohibit such advertising.
Advocates of prohibition were great
" elated today over the action OF the
House in passing the Reed amendment
Some of them said that the way now
had been paved for the adoption or a
nationwide amendment.

Changes In Plan Of
Census Taking Will
Be Proposed Tonight

When the committee Of 100 meets
with other citizens at the High school
auditorium this evening to consider
plans for expediting the taking of the
military census here, President John
A. Leonard of the fire board, will sug-
gest that the firemen now engaged
in taking the census be- relieved and
returned to their proper duties. Pres
ident Leonard is a member of the COM
mittee. The taking OF the census here
has not gone forward as rapidly as it
has in other cities. President Leonard
suggests that the same methods used
elsewhere be put into action here.
Number Of the census blanks could
be left at each factory or other large
establishments. and the foremen woulo
speedily take the census in each place,
handing the completed blanks back 20
the canvasser within a single day. Mr..
Leonard will propose this method at
the meeting tonight
A large number or volunteers are
required to compile The information
now being gathered by the census
takers and those who desire to assist In
the work should communicate with
Charles H Suckley, assistant superin-
tendent Of police, who is directing the
taking of the census.

FURRIER'S THREE
WISHES FULFILLED


In singular fulfillment of three
wishes made some time ago, that ne
should live as long as the late En-
peror Francis Joseph of Austria, that
he should die on his farm and that ne
should die in the open like soldier,
George Tesiny, who formerly con-
Quoted a fur shop in the Arcade,
dropped dead suddenly yesterday While
walking about his farm in Jewett
avenue. MIR. Tesiny, apparently IN
excellent health, was showing the
farm which he had recently sold to
his son-in-law, to a party Of survey
ors The party had separated some
what when Mr. Tesiny was missed.
He was found lying dead a short dis
lance away.
Mr. Tesiny was born in Hungary rs
years ago. He came to this country 45
years ago and worked at his occupa-
ton of furrier in New York for a
number of years. Later he came to
Bridgeport and established a shop here

THE RED WASHINGTON

1t is a remarkable coincidence. that
the birthday Of George Washington is
also the natal day of August Ferdi-
nand Bebel, ''the Red Washing ton''
of Germany. BebePs birthday was
widely celebrated by socialists during
his life, but since the war the German
government has sought to suppress all
memories Of the teachings of the arch
foe Of the Hohenzollerns For TWEEN
ty years before his death in the Au-
gust of 1913 Bebel continually assert
ed that the Prussian rulers of Ger
many were planning great war, and
he called upon his followers to, meet
the declaration of hosti1ities with a
counter rebellion which should drive
the Hohenzollerns from power. A
Saxon, Bebel had all the Saxon hat
reds for Prussia and all things Prus-
sian, and a bitter, relentless hatred
of Prussian kings. The great major
,ity of BebePs followers are now in
the camp Of BebePs greatest enemy,
but it is safe to say that if he had
been granted a year more Of life the
Red Washington with the hooking
lips and burning eyes, would have
stood by his guns to the last, and
died with a curse on his lips for the
Hohenzollerns.

whether it is not in the interest Of the
