Insurance Costs at State In
stitutions Cut By Recent
Act of Board.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 3.-A con-
siderable reduction in the, rate Of in
surance paid on the state insane hos
pital at jamestown has been obtain
ed by the board Of administration,
as q result of tho appraisal recently
made under. the direction of the
board. Aereduction in the insurance
rate on the penitentiary also was OBJ
tanned because Of an appraisal made
OF that property.
The reduction made on the. insane
hospital was from 40 to 3.53 per
thousand, Or I'll per ten thousand
dollars Of insurance. The state has
been. according to a representative Of
the Lloyd Thomas company, which
made the appraisal. paying out ST.
S2c.00 each year for SS5&>606 insur-
ance which the state could never have
collected on in case of fire. The stu
alton existed through the co-insur-
ance plan used by the state. whereby,
for a cheaper rate Of insurance the
insured agrees to carry up to so or
30 per cent Of the sound value Of the
insured property, as the policy may
show. Since the Appraisal showed
the insane hospital was 80 is per
have lost one-third Of the insurance
on any fire/loss.
+ Big Saving Made
1t also was pointed rout that under
the old rate, insurance which would
have cost $~2,469.s0 can now be OBJ
tanned FOR $661.80,@ representing a
saving Of $1,s0s per year. The In
surance was increased from s1.070. 600
to $1.800,000 which was found to be
the. sound insurabla value of the in
sane hospital buildings under the CO.
insurance plan. The cost OF the ap-
praisal- AT Jamestown was $1,000,
which amount, 1t is represented. is
almost saved in the first year because
of'the new insurance rate.

was pointed out, the state learns not

SEEK LIGHT ON EFFECT
PREFERENTIAL RATES
AT PORT OF BOSTON

| Boston, Apr. 2O-A sub committee
| of the United States shipping hoard
will begin hearings here tomorrow
! to ascertain the views of maritime
and commercial interests regarding
the effect on the port of Boston of
| Section IS of the merchant marine
act of 1920, which would prohibit
railroads from making preferential
rates with foreign steamship COM
panies, when adequate American
tonnage is available. The commit
Frederick ]. Thompson of Alabama,
chairman; George f. Chamberlain of
Oregon and Rear Admiral William
S. Benson, U. S. n, retired
Section 2S has not been put into ef-
| feet for the reason that the shipping
board some time ago certified to the
interstate commerce commission
that Inadequate shipping facilities
existed, and the board is now making
| d thorough investigation to deter
mine whether it can now certify that
/ adequate facilities are available.
In statement tonight Commits
sioner Thompson said that apart
from its main mission of studying
| the application of section 2S the sub
committee had also inspected the
equipment of the port of Boston, and
had realized that the foreign borne
commerce of the port should meas
ure in n large proportion with the
city's outstanding position as the
center of large nlanufa cturing and
consuming area.
The ports of New York and Mont
real. the commissioner said, were be-
ing built up at Postons expense.
Boston lost grain shipments to which
she was entitled because Montreal
was favored with a rail differential
of one cent per hundred pounds on
export grain while in the carrying
of the manufactured goods of New
England this port again lost to New
York through rate difference.
With the inequality of grain rates
removed and a grain elevator at
South Boston provided with grain
galleries on the dock spaces of the
commonwealth pier and the army
base the port would be in a position.
he said to let the manufactured
products of New England flow
through their natural and normal
gateway. The inability of Boston to
obtain this requisite bulk cargo, he
added, was injurious, not only to the
icty itself, but to all New England,
since the port was unable to serve
properly the territory geographically
tributary to it. The commissioners
would give report to correct this con-
dition, their sympathetic support,
Mr.. Thompson declared.
Warning against ''insidious in
fluences which seek to break down
merchants marine sentiment in the
United States" was given by the COM
missioner, who charged that interests
affiliated with the shipping of for
eign nations were raising objections
to certain features of American ma
rine laws. Every American citizen
he declared should resist the extern
sion of such sentiment and assist in
making the merchant marine repre-
sentative of the position the United
States occupies among nations of the
world.

on the justice. The witness then quot
ed Mr.. Hill as saying that Judge
Pierce told him he had put enough
findings of fact into the report to put
Timer behind the bars for life; that
the Justice expressed doubt as to
whether the scope of the rule under
which the suits had been referred to
the master was sufficient to warrant
any such findings as he had put into
the report; ard that Judge Piorce said
the findings against Ulmer were so Sc
we're that Mr.. Hill should think twice
before fling them.
Hill, who was on the stand In cross
examination throughout most of the
days session, testified that following
his completion Of the draft report he
had received a mysterious telephone
call threatening his life on account of
the finding against Ulmer He also
testified as to charges he had made
in the final draft of the report.
