Captain Monro says that the automo-

theory of a holdup, believing that if
such were the case some mention
would have been made of it when he

Revised Compensation
Rules Increase Rates
New Classifcations Are Declared
Adequate for the Risks
Thew Cover

The new rules, classifcations and
rates for workmen's compensation In
surance submitted by the Compensa-
ton Inspection Rating Board and
effective June so, 1920, are adequate
for the risks to which they apply, a
statement issued yesterday by Jesse 5.
Phillips, Superintenden of Insurance
declares.
The task of revising the manual, y
the statement says, was handled
through the machinery Of the National
Council on Workmen's Compensation
Insurance, which is a federation of the
rating boards and bureaus throughout
the United States which have to do
with the workmen's compensation rate
admins nistration. The acturial work
was performed under the direction of
the general rating committee of the
National Council, with the actuary of
the New York Insurance Department
acting as chairman.
"The net result of the revision is
an average increase of 14-4 per cent in
the collectablc rates, approximately 10
per cent of which is due to the amend
ments above mentioned.
"The readjustment Of cost between
industries SO that each classification
is charged with its proper and equit-
able share of compensation cost as
nearly as it can be ascertained is of
much greater Importance than the
small net average increase in the
unusual rates.

Four burglaries committed last week
within block and a half of the West

light last night, though not through
any effort of the police. Apparently
surprised to learn that the burglaries
had been discovered, the police ad-

Before dawn Tuesday thieves sawed
two bars from rear window of the
Paterson Remnant Company store at
358 West 125th Street, and, though the

seventyseven bolts of silk from the
shelves and getting away A watchman
employed at the store was seated by
the front door while they were at work.

Early yesterday morning burglars
got into the cellar of the Manhattan
Remnant Store, 337 West 125th Street
and sawed hole in the floor large
enough to admit small boy. The
child, who is believed to have been
used by the burglars evidently stun
bled upon an alarm, however for the
ringing Of the gong brought special
patrolmen. The men had departed
empty-handed before their arrival.

couldn't leave his wagon.
Mrs. Larsen says she was surprised
to find the outer door locked. Mr..
Dooling said he would question Otter
to-morroW on what he was doing in the
neighborhood with his wagon at $3.50

two hours before. 1t is suggested that
he may have been collecting empty bot
