Before

The taking over of the Pittsburgh

ness in Pennsylvania, according to the
story told yesterday by Deputy Insur-
ance Commissioner S. w. McCulloch.
He said:
This is not the first time we have
met Mr.. Birdseye. Several years ago,
during the administration of Insur-
ance Commissioners Charles johnson,
Mr.. Birdseye appeard at the office OF
the department. He said he had ac-
CURED the charter of the Interstate
trust Company of Philadelphia and
desired to start a life insurance COM
pany. The charter is one of those is
sued before the adoption of the pres
ent Constitution and had not been in
use for some time.
Mr.. Birdseye wanted to know what
he would have to do to comply with
the insurance laws of the State i'm
getting his company started | in
formed him that he would have to
provide the necessary capital and suf-
fcient surplus.
He handed me mortgages for $780,
OOO on some coal lands in Schuylkill
county. and $4,000 worth of bands on
the Manatawney Railroad
competent man appraised the
coal lands in SchuyllIill county who
fixed the worth of the Birdseye hold
ings at from $4,000 to $4,000. He also
found that Mr.. Birdseye did not own
the property, put had an option to
buy il for $22,500, and it was on this
title the 100000 worth of mortgages
We're written.
insurance Commissioner Johnson
and Mr., Roney visited the property
of the Manatawney Railroad in Mont
gomery county. Mr.. Roney reported
that the principal asset of the road
upon which Mr.. Birdseye had issued
100000 worth of bonds was an old
steam shovel and 1t had been attached
by the Sheriff of Montgomery county.
when Mr.. Birdseye appeared To
learn our decision he was told that
If he ever came before us again with
similar proposition a warrant would
be issued for his arrest, and he was
invited to get out of the office"

Patient she is-long g-suffering, our Land;
Wise with the strength of one whose soul is calm
Weighs and considers, and would understand
Ere it gives way to anger; fearing wrong

Against her peace by others deemed more strong.
Mother of many children alien born,
Whom she has gathered into her kind arms
Safeguarding most the weakest, most fOrlOrn-
The mothers patience she has learned to know,
Which passes trifes by with smiling scOrn-
The mothers hopefulness, to anger slow.
Yet, OH beware! nor, overbold presume
Upon gentleness enlinked with Power!
Her torch still burns to kindle consume,
And ganst the time when she must prove her might,
Vast energy is stored in her souls room
Undreamed-o strength to battle for the Right!

coons with Gould, capsized his canoe
and was almost drowned in his haste
to return to the Gould home at Jeky1
Island and tell of the tragedy.
After Gould's shotgun accidentally
was discharged, fatally wounding him.
Reynolds tried to carry him to the
beach. Gould, it was said. died in his
companions arms, and Reynolds care
fully laying the body down, rushed to
the beach and leaped into the canoe. In
his haste the frail boat was overturned,
and although he succeeded in righting
it before his cries brought help from
Jckyl Island. he was found suffering
SO severely from cold and dampness
that for a while he was unable to tell
what had happened. A launch was
brought over and Reynolds and the
body of the twenty y-three-year-old son
of the New York capitalist were taken
TO Jeky1.
The two young men had gone to La
than Hammock. small point of land
near Jekyl Island, late Saturday. in
tending to spend part of the night get
ting coons from traps which had been
set there, and it was nearly midnight
when Gould. in attempting to kill d
trapped coon, was shot by the acciden-
tai discharge of his gun, which he was
using as a club.

AMERICAN BLUEJACKETS
KEEPING ORDER IN CUBA
Two Squads Sent From Naval Sta

tanamo.

Two squads of American bluejackets
were sent from the American naval
station at Caimanera, Cuba, into the
town of Guantanamo Monday to quell
a small riot and protect foreigners and
their property if it became necessary.
Reports received at the Navy Depart
mcnt today said order was restored
without violence, and unless there is a
recurrence of trouble the bluejackets
will be withdrawn.
The incident is not regarded here as
important and appears rot to have been
resented by the government of Cuba,
which did not construe it as an act of
intervention. The disorder in Guantana-
III" appeared only remotely connected

of the island.
HAVANA, February 2S.-At the

the sending of American marines to
Guantanamo was presumably for the
protection of valuable property. No
definite reports of threatened destruc-

Deaths Largely Preventable.

DR.. Meigs emphasizes the inseparable
connection between the life and health
of the mother and the life and health
or her baby She points out that the
1000 maternal deaths which occur an
nually in the United States are largely
preventabie; that these $1,000 deaths
are merely a rough index of unmeas-
ured preventable Illness among moth
ers. and that the protection of mothers
is essential to the saving OF babies
lives.
How can the protection of mothers be
accomplished?
Two underlying causes are assigned
for the present conditions:
First. The hazards have been either
ignored or accepted as unavoidable
knowledge of the need for good care
at childbirth is essential; the lack of
such knowledge and of demand for
this care has been, probably, the chief
factor in producing the present indif-
terence to this phase of preventive
medicine. Communities are still to a
great extent Indifferent to or ignorant
of the number of lives of women lost
yearly from childbirth"
The second Fundamental cause.-the
difficulty of obtaining adequate care
is seen to depend to a large extent
on the first. AS women. their husbands.
physicians and communities realize the
absolute need of skilled care, methods
for providing it will be developed"

closely printed discussion over condi-
tions in the offices of members of the

charge was made that sometimes the
elevators are not run properly, and
an affront was given to Representative
Mann of Illinois by his friend. Repre-
sentative Good of Iowa. who said he
believed Representative Mann never
went into the House office building.
Furthermore, Representative Mann
started little row when he said he
has seen children of less than eleven
years old taking the mail from the
mail chuts and acting exactly as if
they were trained employees of the
House post office. Representative
Mondell said the elevator service in the

He said that enough towels had been
stolen from the building to dry the
hands OF an entire Congress for a
year.

conditions were all placed under the
