rates in the casualty, as In the other
insurance fields. He and Mr.. Phillips
were questioned concerning letter
written by the State Insurance Depart
ment when Mr.. Phillips was at its
head to Mr.. Whitney. the first wit
ness. regarding the departments ex-
animation in 1917 of the National Bu-
reau.
Censoring n state Report.
Mr.. Whitney had protested against
the inclusion In the departments re-
port of an excerpt from a report of
the State Industrial Commission of
Wisconsin adversely commenting on the
methods Of the old line insurance COM
panies in that State.
A letter bearing Mr.. Phillips's sigma
ture. which Mr.. Whitney previously had
identified, indicated that the opportunity
had been given to the bureau to censor
the report before it was printed. The
first letter. which Mr.. Phillips explained
had been written by Mr.. Deutschberger,
hut bearing the superintendent's stamped
signature. informed him that the mat
ter complained Of would not be elimi-
mated from the report.
A second letter, signed by Mr.. Phil
lips, announced that the matter COM
planned of by the National Bureau would
be ommitted from the printed report
Mr.. Phillips yesterday took all re-
sponsibility for his action In overruling
Deutschberger. and explained that he
did it after satisfying himself that the
allegations contained in the Wisconsin
report concerning the old line companies
were not supported by acts.
In the early part of his examination
Mr.. Untermyer wanted to know from
x.,ha ha
proper that companies writing burglary
insurance should be permitted by law
also to write bail bonds and accept loot
In the form of furs or jewelry as secur-
ity for the bonds. Mr.. Whitney would
not admit such to be practice, although
he said he had heard that certain Of the
larger surety companies had quit writ
ing bail bonds of any kind.
Building Agreement Extended.
Christian G. Norman, chairman OF the
board of governors of the Building
Trades Employers Association. an
nounced last night that n letter would
be sent to-day to the Building Trades
Council extending the present wage scale
and working agreement between the
member unions of the council and af-
filiated unions In the building trades
until March L.. pending q permanent
agreement along the lines proposed by
Mr.. Untermyer and accepted by the
Building Trades Council.
At the end of yesterdays hearing Mr..
Untermyer expressed himself as highly
gratified with the attitude taken by the
casualty insurance men In agreeing to
accept State supervision Of rates. AS
result of the opinions expressed by them
he expects less opposition to develop
toward legislation In this direction than
was at first indicated. State Superin-
tendent Stoddard said he proposed hold
ing a hearing on Monday afternoon on
whatever legislation the committee de-
oides to introduce on this subject.
The committee will meet again to-
day for what may be its final session
pending the submission OF its report to
the Legislature. upon which Its future
existence will depend.

Bartlesville found him to be at work

OLDTIMER SAYS cHANDLAR IS
 NOT AN EASY PROPOSITION

Having given the Chandlar district the once over, Harry Beach, an old timer who left Nenana last fall, writes The News that conditions there are not such as to warrant the belief that good ground is to be had for the stalk ing The weather, he says, has been quite good, with quite lot of snow, but no cold weather up to the time the letter was written on December 13. The letter was written at Beaver on the Yukon river and reads as fol- lows:
 "This is hard country to get into. The distance from Beaver to the dig gings is 12O miles. Most of the sup plies are hauled by dog teams and 1t takes so much to feed the dogs and a man that one cannot make much in freighting at Is cents pound. It takes twelve days to make the trip
 There are two claims that have pay. Curley Smith is in the money on Little Squaw, and o. J. Nicholson has some good ground on Big creek. A lot of prospecting is going on through out the district and the whole country is staked. I would not advise any one to come to Chandlar thinking they can drop on to a paying claim for that is a hard problem.
 'We have a lot of good wood, but all the wood on the creeks is green and they have trouble with it. They pay $S per cord for cutting 16 foot wood and it costs $40 delivered at the claims They pay $6.5O per day and board for labor.
 Grub is little cheaper here than in Nenana, and there is plenty of game here-caribou, moose and sheep, but not much fur"
