WOULD INSURE LIVES
OF AMERICAN SEAMEN
Secretary McAdoo Asks Congress to
Enlarge Powers Of War Risk
Insurance Bureau.

Secretar, McAdoo has recommended ia
Congress that the powers of the gov
eminent war risk insurance bureau be
Of lives of officers and men on merchant
ships.
Liability for loss of life would be
placed between $1,000 and $4,000, with
proportionate indemnity for injuries.
Owners of all vessels insured by the
government would be required to take
out insurance upon the lives Of officers
and crews.
Should Do as Much for Men.
Certainly we should not do less for
the lives Of our seamen, without whose
services it would be impossible to keep
our merchant fleet upon the high seas,
than we do for property ITSELF" a
Treasury Department statement says.
THE insurance plan provides not alone
for insurance of the lives of the men
against the risks of war upon the high
seas, but also for certain indemnities
for loss of limb, as we'll as for compen-
sation during captivity.
The planI Is a simple and entirely
practicable one. The owners of vessels
will be required to take out insurance
upon the officers and crew just as they
now take out insurance upon the hulls
of vessels and their cargoes.
Enlargement of the powers Of the
war risk insurance bureau also is
sought to enable this government to
enter into reciprocal insurance arrange
ments with the governments OF those
countries making war with US against
the common enemy. This will result in
spreading the hazards of insurance over
a vastly increased number of units,
with less risk to all concerned and
without increasing the total liability
assumed"

HENRY IS CONVICTED;
Jury OUT ALL NIGHT
Former Banker and Broker Accused
Of Embedding Stock-De-
PENDANT at Liberty.

John William Henry. former head Of
the bankrupt brokerage firm of Lewis
johnson & Co.. was convicted today by
Division 2 on two counts Of an indict-
ment charging embezzlement of stocks
belonging to John and Mary E. Helmus,
which had been left with the brokerage
firm for sale. Henry, 1t was shown,
had hypothetical the stock for loan
with the District National Bank.
AS the government had elected to
stand on the embezzlement counts, the
jury, by direction OF the court, ac-
quilted Henry of the two charges of
larceny after trust contained in the
liberty pending the hearing Of a mo-
ton for q new trial, which will be
filed by Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright
and T. Morris Wampler. The maxi
mum penalty that can be imposed is
ten years Imprisonment.
Deliberate Through Night.
The case was given to the jury about
S o'clock yesterday afternoon. and the
Jurors deliberated throughout the night.
Word was sent by the Jurors to Justice
Mccoy this morning foreshadowing the
agreement. but asking further instruc-
ton as to intention Of restitution and
as to criminal intent. The calculation
Of the law on these two points given by
Justice Mccoy appeared to remove the
differences existing among the jurors
and in Ave minutes they returned with
a verdict of guilty.
United States Attorney Laskey and
Assistant United States Attorney
Archer conducted the prosecution.
Mr.. Henry was tried in June. 1915. on
a similar charge growing out of a
transaction with another customer of
the bank. The jury at that time dis
agreed. and the case was not retired.
Another Indictment is pending against
Henry on a similar charge.

Pleading Letter to Heth.

June Id, 1916.
"Mr. S. Heth, jr., Blacksburg. Va.
My Dear Stockton: have been
thinking matters over very carefully,
and / must ask of you that you do not
come to my house or see or write or
converse with my wife at all. You may
blame me some. but the happiness Of
our lives has been ruined, and as 1
think things over soberly and carefully
1 feel that you are not the person for
her to associate with. Your influence
has been such that only last Sunday
she threatened to kill herself.
II take my part of the blame. but
you should know that no matter what
blame may be attached to me. and leav-
ing out the fact that you have no
rights, you should have been a friend
and helped her at time when she
needed help. You seem to forget that
what you have done was the worst
thing that could be done for her hap
piness. trusted you as friend. but
I can never trust you again. There are
times when a woman needs help and not

have her pure name dragged in the
