EN- SAD BUT LOVING MEMORY OF
I our beloved son and brother, Charles
McGathey. who died one year ago today
Jan. IS, 1919:
Sad, so sad, was the call
OF him so dearly loved by all.
He suffered much, but murmured not,
Was watched both night and day;
His aching heart grew less and less,
Until he passed away.
More and more each day we miss him:
Friends may think the wound is healed,
But God alone knows the sorrow
That lies within our hearts concealed.
Peaceful be thy rest dear son;
- It is so sweet to breathe thy name;
a. lie we loved you dearly
" In death we do the same. Aee.&z,r

ANNE MARTIN
IN NSENATERACE
Nevada Woman Announces
Her Candidacy for Re-
publican Nomination.

Miss Anne Martin, Of Nevada.
the first woman candidate for ma
tional office in the coming cleo
tions, announced yesterday her in
tention of running for the United
States Senate.
Miss Martin stated that she would
accept the Republican nomination
if it was offered to her upon the
terms of her platform, but under no
circumstances will she make a lone
fight in the primary against a BIZ
partisan fusion candidate. II op-
posed by such a candidate. she will
file her petition as an Independent
before the primary.
In announcing her platform, Miss
Martin said:
Privilege is making it's final
fight against the right of all who
labor by hand or by brain to just
returns for their labor. to a voice
in the management of Industry, and
to An equal opportunity to a social
ly good life.
I'VE must take our stand on the
side either of privilege or the
worker. There is no middle ground.
No one can honestly support both.

JAPS TO KEEP
MEN IN SIBERIA
Will Not Be Ready to With
draw Army for Some
Time.

within a day or two after the
departure of the last American
troops from Vladivostok, the Japan
ese government felt II necessary to
announce its further plans toward
Russia. The announcement appeared
|bn March 81 in the Official gazette
at Toxic, and 1t indicates that Jap
anese troops will be maintained In
Siberia for some time to come.
The reason for the necessity of
soldiers in Siberia Is said to be the
present menace" to Manchuria and
Korea. The text of the Japanese
announcement was received by the
State Department yesterday and
reads as follows:
THE dispatch of Japanese troops
to Siberia having for its purpose the
assistance of the CZecho- -Slovaks, II
is plain, as was declared at the
time of their being sent, that japan
will also withdraw her troops when
the evacuation of the Czecho-Slo-
vaks is actually completed.
Not only do the political condi-
tions in Far Eastern Siberia affect
conditions both in Manchuria and
in Korea, but a large number Of the
Japanese residents in Siberia are
practically placed under such condi-
tions that the safety Of their lives
and property cannot be assured.
This is the reason why the empire
is not able to withdraw the troops
Immediately. The empire enter
tains no political ambitions toward
Russia"

PERMITS GAIN
Those Issued in February
Far Greater Than Same
Month Last Year.

Building permits issued at ninety
six leading centcrs in the United
States during the short month of
February involved an estimated ex-
penditure OF sss.s7s,7s1, against
s1os.s77,145 for 1o1 centers in jan
uary. and s124.57s,s54 for lo2 cities
last December. Comparison with all
other months back to April, 1913,
discloses reduction. but some allow
ance must be made for the fact that
fewer centers made returns for Feb
ruary. and the month was marked
by severe storms that tended to re-
strict construction activities and to
discourage the filing of applications
for permits. Moreover. the high cost
Of labor and materials. and their
scarcity in some quarters, have con-
tinued as a restraining influence on
building operations.
Considering these elements. the
February exhibit is favorable, and is
much better, of course, than the
showing Of that month last year.
when the permits at the ninety-six
cities had an aggregate valuation
of only s2S,053.O5s. 1t thus appears
that February's permits are 2ls.7
per cent larger than those of Feb
ruary. 1919, and the total for the
ninety-five centers outside New
York is 1855 per cent greater-s72.-
2So.7s7. contrasting with sa1,521.764.
At the metropolis. the February
permits closely approximate ST.
100000. or 1912 per cent more than
the s6.531.2s5 of that month last
year. How last months figures. in
detail. compare with those of Feb

All Interests Must Combine
To Increase Production,
Says S. W. 'Straus.
ALL COSTS MOUNTING
Shortage Of Cars Also Has
Deleterious Effect on
Building Operations.

There is q lack Of production in
dicated along all lines" according
to s. w Straus &.Co., who declares
what Is needed IL q determination
on the part OF all interests con-
nected with the building industry TO
increase the actual amount of work
accomplished" He continues:
The general tendency Of building
costs continues uninterruptedly to-
ward higher levels. The demand
for new structures Of all kinds Is
growing more acute in all parts of
the country
Gain In Construction Work.
There were large gains in con-
struction work reported from all
leading cities for March as COM
pared with February. but the exact
figures are not yet completed. How
ever, there have been many adverse
factors in evidence. The severe win
ter weather which existed In many
sections of the United States during
February and the first half of March
has been an important factor In re-
tarding new construction While
there Is a shortage of all building
materials, due primarily to labor
conditions, the unreasonable weather
restricted the output of such build
ing commodities as sand, gravel,
brick and tile, and many large
plants were closed down.
There also is an acute shortage
in structural steel, and many large
building projects are being held up
because OF the stringency In these
basic materials.
Another adverse feature is the
car shortage which has grown so
acute that one OF the large steel
companies recently had in it's yards
from 100000 to 10000 tons of
finished steel which could not be
delivered to the purchasers because
freight cars were not available.
Affects Coal supply.
The car shortage has proved an
adverse factor in the coal situation
and II is reported that in recent
weeks the car supply at the coal
mines has seldom been above so per
cent of normal. The production of
coke also has fallen off for a like
cause.
Lack of stabilization, unsettled
prices. shortage of materials and
inadequate housing facilities. both
for business and personal uses, will
continue until we settle down to a
period of steady production and
constructive thrift in all lines of
endeavor Hard work and a serious
determination to relieve the present
great building deficit must prove
the underlying cause OF stable con-
ditions.
Until there is a general y doption
of these principles of applied thrift,
we may expect to find prices tend
ing steadily toward higher levels
with a shortage of building supplies
and a growing inadequacy of hous-
ing conditions everywhere"

British Underwriters Furnish
Worlds Marine Insurance Market

are the essence Of marine insurance.
Their possession means stability
and power. while their absence
spells uncertainty and weakness.
British marine insurance COM
panies have the privilege of writing
any kind of insurance, and have
shown a distinct tendency in re-
cent years to absorb or otherwise
combine with casualty, liability and
workmen's compensation companies.
American underwriters are q unit
in deprecating this practice, but as
a class they are helpless to remedy
the situation since the placing OF a
very large proportion of American
business rests with marine insur-
ance brokers. who owe no allegiance
to any insurance company, and who
operate as free lances in the busi-
ness. Practically all OF the large
brokerage houses in New York,
Philadelphia, and other leading
shipping centers have correspon.
dents in London. It is quite general
in this country for the insured to
rely upon his broker for the placing
of his risks, and for one reason or
another a large proportion Is placed
in the foreign market.
The Washington herald., 1920-04-04

When foreign interests control
two-thirds of so vital "a business as
marine insurance, there must be
weighty reasons which account for
the phenomenon. The regrettable
fact about It all is that many Of
the serious obstacles that must
now be overcome to effect a radical
change were quite unnecessary and
of eur own making or due to our
own indifference.
British underwriters not only
furnish the largest marine insur-
ance market Of the world. but Brit
ish companies have consciously pur-
sued q policy extending over many
years. Of strengthening their posi-
tion by the accumulation Of huge
surpluses. The marine insurance
market of the world in fact, CEN
ters in London and Liverpool.
BY establishing themselves In all
parts of the world through ex-
tensive agency systems, British
companies obtain an enormous vol
ume Of business and an unequaled
diversity of hazard.
