TO INSURE u. S. SOLDIERS;
$4,000 POLICIES PLANNED
Would Be Substitute for Pensions
Death or Serious Injury May Be
Paid for by New System.

Washington, June 4.-Plans for is
suing $4,000 free government insur-
ance on the life of every American sol
der and sailor during the war in lieu
of pension arrangements will be taken
up this week by the council of nation
al defense. The plan also would pro-
vide insurance for partial or total dis
ability. A report prepared by Assist
ant Secretary Sweet of the commerce
department urges that the insurance
be provided through legislation before
American troops are sent to France.
The defense council took up the
question some weeks ago and turned
the whole subject over to the depart
ment of commerce for investigation.
The plans prepared provide for a
fiat insurance Of $4,000 on the life Of
every officer and private in the mill
tary and naval service to be paid to
his benefciaries without premiums.
A government insurance bureau
would handle the subject and there
would be provision for system of
insurance by which officers and men
desiring to do so could take out
amounts higher than the $4,000 free
policy by paying premiums at peace
rates.
One argument advanced for the in
surance plan is that 1t would improve
the morale of the troops, since many
would go into battle much more will
ingly if assured their dependents
would be cared for if they were killed.
In case of death the insurance would
be paid in instaIlments whose amount
would be determined by a government
board.

VALENTINE SIGNS WARRANTS OF
 THE CITY
Action Prevents Council Being Forced to Take the Matter Into
 the Courts

Mayor Valentine has signed all warrants but one issued by the city. The bills have been paid with the one exception, of the c. w. Young company, and on which Mayor Val entine claims there is a slight in. accuracy.
 In view of the action taken by the Mayor when he obeyed the orders of the council and signed the war. rants, court proceedings, which had been contemplated by the council will not now be necessary. The warrants over which there was dis pute were mostly in favor of local transfer men for hauling done by hem for the city before the council fixed a flat rate for services. May )r Valentine refused to sign the warrants claiming that the transfer companies had overcharged the city when they asked for more than the rate established.
 The council last Monday night ordered the Mayor to sign the war rants and passed resolution auth orizing the finance committee to con fer with the city attorney and start court proceedings if necessary.

Around the neck )f the body was rope with loose md three feet in length tied to a sack. There was a large hole in he sack which indicated that it had )een weighted with some heavy ob- lect but through decomposition had ripped and allowed the body to float free The current could easily have carried the remains the distance rom the point where the death ois he woman occurred to the point where it was found.
 Testimony at the coroners' inquest by Dr. Sloane, who had treated Mrs. Dahl, and others brought out the fact that the woman was slightly demented. Dr. Sloane stated that the woman was A years of age and that frequently women of that age become slightly demented when about to give birth to a child. Mir.

 The day the woman disappeared she was known to have been in bed at 2:30 o'clock in the morning. At that time Mr. Dahl arose to feed the baby and looked into her room When he arose late in the morning his wife was missed and boat was found floating around the channel in front of the ranch house.
