INSURANCE BILL IS
REVISED BY BODY
Special Commission Makes
Few Changes in Fer
guson's Report.
STATE OFFICER UPHELD
IVoposd Changes Benefit Young
Companies, Provide Against Pro
fessional Promoters and Keg
nlate Methods of Business.
After many weeks of discussion.
members of the special commission ap
pointed recently by Governor West to
revise the insurance code of the state
reached an agreement Saturday after
noon and decided to recommend the
adoption by the Legislature of the sup
plemental report recently issued by J.
W. Ferguson, State Insurance Commis
sioner.
Only one or two minor changes in
Commissioner Ferguson's report were
recommended, and to these the Com
rnissioner readily agreed. The prlnci
pal one is the elimination of the pro
vision requiring surety companies to
deposit $50,000 as guarantee of good
faith before being chartered to do ousi-
uesn in the state.
The report recommends that as few
changes as possible be made in the
present manner of conducting insur
ance, and urges that the present pro
visions of law concerning appointment
of resident or statutory general agents,
department ' fees and charges, taxation
of insurance premiums and regulations
of fraternal benefit societies be re
tafned.
Mre loHurance Methods Vpheld.
Present methods of conducting fire
insurance. in the state are upheld, e
cause It has resulted in reduction of
rates where insured has been interested
In making improvements to reduce the
fire hazard. Continuation of the equit
able Rating Bureau under the direction
of the Insurance Commissioner is rec
ommended. This bureau places the
cost of maintenance upon the companies
transacting business.
The public is urged to investigate
the insurance business through this
bureau, so that they may reduce their
rates by removing hazards for which
they are charged.
Povision is made allowing companies
to file surety company bonds, in lieu of
deposit securities, with the exception
of title and guaranty companies, which
are required to deposit approved se
curities. Changes are recommended for the
conduct of domestic mutual fire in
surance companies so that they will
be on a basis similar to that which
has built up successful mutual com
panies in other states. Such companies
may conduct their business either on
cash or assessment plans.
YonnKrr Companies Favored.
A modified preliminary term plan of
valuation of life Insurance policies is
urged as It is said to favor the younger
rompanies, and is the limit which
should be permitted in providing for
the expense of securing new business.
Only slight changes are recommend
ed in the accident and health insurance
departments. One section, prohibiting
the use of a certain class of policy
covering only a limited number of ac
cidents and diseases, will be added.
Changes recommended in the law re
lating to fraternal benefit societies are
those adopted by a committee of such
societies and the National Convention
of Insurance Commissioners. These
provisions are intended to secure future
safety. They are favorable to the fra
ternals. and will enable them to con
tinue their existence under certain con
ditions if unable to comply with the
other requirements of the law. Itecent
court decisions which will prevent some
of these societies from complying with
t he law in full makes these changes
advisable.
Prof rational Promoter Target.
The report urges drastic legislation
to regulate the promotion of new in
surance companies, and the act intends
to leave no room in Oregon for the
professional promoter.
Companies now doing business In the
state under an additional title will be
permitted to continue, but future fil
ings of this kind will be prohibited
They must have $400,000 capital and
surplus of the samp amount and must
make a deposit of $100,000 with t lie
Commissioner.
Combinations between agents and
companies to fix rates, regulate com
pensations to agents, and that will
cause discrimination, are prohibited.
Prohibition of rebates is extended to
all classes of companies.
Provision is made that will prevent
insurance being placed outside the;
state when companies operating within
the state are able to carry it. !

EGYPTIAN REFORMS BEGIN
Lord Kitchener's Plan for Placing
Natives on Small Farms Adopted.
CAIRO. Jan. 4. (Special. A start
has been made with Lord Kitchener's
land reform project in Egypt, and the
scheme which was first inaugurated
among the peasantry of the (iliarbiah
province promises to increase the pros
perity of the country very consider
ably. The proposals take the form of di
viding up certain government land into
MiiaU tenancies, slightly over an acre
apiece. A three years' lease Is offered
between the government and the ten
ant and a nominal fee of one.ylastre
five cents is to be paid annually as
rent, on condition that the land is well
cultivated. If all the conditions have
been complied with, the three years
lease when it expires is renewable for
10 years at a rental of $5.25, in addi
tion to a land tax. - And the land is
made over to the tenant for the rest
of his life if he has satisfactorily cul
tivated his holdings during the ten
years' period.
The Egyptian Government reclaimed'
some marshy waste land in Bilah, In
the vicinity of Tantah. For the purpose
of the scheme an agricultural college
lias been established. Lord Kitchener,
now styled "The Father of the Fellah,
and the staff of the British Agency
presided over the distribution of the
tenancies. The work of alloting the
land was done in a primitive and pic
turesque way. The land was divided
up into 120 lots, and the numbers writ
ten on pieces of paper and thrown Into
a basket. The names of the new ten
ants were deposited in another basket,
and two children simultaneously drew
out of these two baskets, and In this
way each peasant knew his portion of
the land.
This promising scheme owes its In
ception entirely to Lord 'Kitchener,
whose triumphs In this realm of peace
ful achievenient are likely to rival his
successes in the f!ld of war.
MOTHER SEEKS CHILD
GIRIi KIDXAPED, NOT BIT5XED,
INSISTS MRS. MACE.
Lents Womart Sends Letter to Po
lice in Los Angeles Asking
Them to Find Child.
LOS AXGELE3, Jan. 5. The police
received Saturday from Lents. Or., a let
ter signed "Mrs. Gust Mace," which told
of the alleged kidnaping of the
writer's little daughter and the sub
stitution of the body of another baby
girl in the burning house of the miss
ing child's parents, in order to deceive
them.
The letter said that the writer's home
had been burned some time ago. It de
tailed statements that the little daugh
ter, Rose, three years old, had been in
the kitchen Just before the fire started.
The body found later, It was said, bore
upon it ornaments which the writer's
daughter never possessed.
The writer declared that her daugh
ter had been kidnaped .and that the
boy of another girl had been placed
In the burning building. She also as
serted that her own child had been
brought to the Los Angeles Chinatown.
The police began an Investigation.
The letter crave the writer's address
as 258 Seventh avenue, Lents, Or.
TALE IS NEW TO NEIGHBORS
Lents Folk Know Nothing of Kid
naping Story.
The three-year-old child of Gus Mace
wa3 burned to death in a fire about
three months ago, which destroyed his
home at Lents.
According to neighbors, Mrs. Mace
had accompanied her husband down the
street to bid him goodbye for the day,
leaving a fire in the kitchen stove. She
iiad been prone but a. few moments
when the fire broke out and almost In
stantly enveloped the cottage in flames.
Mrs. Mace was almost beside herself,
and it was only because she was forc
ibly restrained that she did not enter
the burning building in an effort to
rescue the child.
Inquiry of residents in Lents last
night brought the response that there
could have been no substitution, as
the interval between the time the
flames broke out and the enveloping of
the building in flames was too brief.
There has been no gossip at Lents
to the effect that a strange body was
substituted for that of the Mace child
and no such report or complaint has
ever bepn made to the Coroner, po
lice or Sheriff.
FINLEY COMPLAINT FAILS
Washington County Treasurer Sends
to State $68.80.
H1LLSBORO, Or!7Jan. 5. (Special.)
-County Treasurer Sappington was
served today with a copy of the com
plaint wherein State Game Warden
Finley brings suit tor $t8.80, an
mount alleged to be due the game
fund for balances on two fines col
lected months ago. The case falls be
cause the amount has already been
sent to the state. The amount cov
ered a $50 fine imposed upon A. Nep
pach, for allowing sawdust to run into
the Xehalem, at the sawmill at Timber,
and S1S.80, a fine paid by Charles Den
nis for having venison in his posses
sion in the closed season.
The AVashington County officials
have always made prompt payment of
game fines, but these fines were col
lected just prior to the death of the
late County Treasurer Jackson, who
had the money charged to a fund other
than the game budget. When Sap
ping ton succeeded him he refused to
forward the money until he had an or
der of the County Court, and the mat
ter dragged along until late in De
cember, when the remittance was made.
FIRST ICE SPORT IS BRIEF
Portland Youths Enjoy Skating as
Mercury Drops to 33.
With the mercury hovering down be
low the freezing point. Portland young
sters Saturday enjoyed the first skat
ing of the season. The unusual pleas
ure was confined to the sidewalks In
only a few districts of the city, the
cold weather apparently running in
streaks.
In some districts the rain water of
Friday night formed a thin coat of
Ice on the cement walks and made ex
cellent skating. The thin coat of ice
on ponds and pools was not strong
enough for skating. The sidewalk ice
melted early and brought to an end
much fun.
Reports at the Weather Bureau were
that there was a srr.all snow storm
early yesterday. The whiteness was
seen in parts of the heights early yes
terday morning.

Socia! Sui veyors of Con
sumers' League.
LONG HOURS MADE ILLEGAL

Minimum Wage Scale Fixed in
Measure That Will Go Be
fore Coining: Legislature.
-The social survey committee of the

done under the law, it is empowered to
call a conference composed of an equal
number of representatives of employ

or more disinterested persons repre
senting the public; but these last are
not to exceed the number' of repre
sentatives of either of the othev par
ties. A member of the commission

LONDON AGAIN AGlf ATED
Question or Sunday Theaters Set
. Going by H. B. Irving.
LONDON". Jan. (Special.) The
question of the opening of the thea
ters on Sunday has been set going
again by H. B. Irving, who favors it
uriur certain conditions. Several well
known clergy and laity have joined in
WOMEN
the discussion. The bishop of London
is opposed to the opening of the thea
ters on that day. He says that 'those
who like may call our Sunday dull, but
I believe it to be a great asset in the
life of the nation."
Sir. Forbes-Robertson, while he
agrees "with the views of H. B. Irving
regarding the opening of theaters on
Sunday," writes that "It must be borne
in mind that if actors give Sunday per
formances, in time managers might
expect them to give nine performances
for the same price which they now re
ceive for seven or eight."
Sir Edward Russell remarks that
"neither those engaged In the theatri
cals nor the public desire it (Sunday
opening of the theaters), and there is.
no reason for even effectively dis
cussing what is a gratuitous proposal."
A very interesting opinion is that of
Rev. H. F. B. MackayV the well-known
vicar of All Saints, Margaret street: "I
have read Mr. Irvine's remarks with
great interest, but I do not agree with
him that a "specialized censorship for
Sunday plays is necessary. If there is
nothing in his religion to forbid a
Christian going to the theater on Sun
day, there can be no reason why be
should not see any decent kind of play
when he gets there. Does Mr. Irving
mean that he would like to see "Ham
let" licensed for Sunday performance
and 'Iolanthe' refused a license? Per
sonally I would much rather go to
'Iolanthe' than to 'Hamlet' on Sunday
evening if I am going at all."
Mr. Mack ay adds: T am a seven-day
worker myself, and I beg England not
to try the experiment.
WIRELESS SYSTEM PLAN
FRAXCE COXTEMPTjATES CO-
TXXIAL COVXEOTIOX.
Present Telegraphic Arrangements
Are Deemed Inadequate for
Long-Distance Service.
PARIS, Jan. 4. (Special.) Last year
the Ministry of the Colonies sketched
a plan, in imitation of the two great
wireless Anglo-American groups, for
establishing wireless communication
between Paris and the French colonies.
According to the reports published, in
the press the two above-mentioned
groups will comprise, under the Eng
lish one, stations at London, commu
nicating with New York: in the north
of Egypt, at Aden, Pretoria, Banga
lore and- Singapore, with perhaps one
or two more, and under the American,
the stations at Glace Bay, Belmar, Pan
ama and San Francisco, all in touch
with the most powerful one at Hawaii,
which in turn will reach the Philip
pines. Singapore and Bangalore. All
these are to be worked by the Marconi
system.
France" has nothing at all equal to
this gigantic wireless system, and feels
the want of an independent wireless
service of her own, which would in
sure secrecy and prove much cheaper
than cables. M. Dallmier, however, has
drawn up a report on the subject which
shows that up to the present French
stations and apparatus are totally un
equal to the task of transmitting mes
sages the required distance. The Eif
fel Tower station, which is the most
powerful one in France, Tias often great
trouble in communicating with Toulon
at 420 miles, and it is rarely that it
can reach Fez. a little over 1000 miles.
There haB been so much talk lately
of the intrusion of foreign material in
government domains that the question
of adopting Marconi's or any other sys
tem in preference to a French one is
sure to be raised.
RELEASE MAY COME SOON
Government to 1 Dynamite Lead
ers Give Bonds at Prison.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5. Although
the 32 convicted labor leaders now con
fined in the Federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., are required to fur
nish bond to gain their freedom pend
ing an appeal of their cases, it may
not be necessary for the men to be re
turned to Indianapolis. This was the
opinion expressed tonight by District
Attorney Miller, who said h,e believed
the papers could be signed at the Peni
tentiary. Developments' today leave the ques
tion of freedom for the labor leaders
in the hands of the friends to whom
they have appealed for funds. Reports
from different sections of the country
tell of amounts being raised toward
this end, and J. E. MeClory, acting sec
retary, and Edward Lewis, the only
executive board members out of prison,
express the opinion that they will be
able to secure the release of all within
ten days or two weeks.
Although reports from Leavenworth
have said that no attempt would be
made to free Herbert S. Ifockin, ex
secretary of the union, his wife, who
Is here, says that she has been assured
by the attorneys for the union that
ho will receive the same consideration
os the other men.
Hockin was referred to in the trial
as a "double crosser," as it was alleged
that while acting secretary of the
union and directing the affairs of the
'dynamite crew," he was "tipping off
the time set for explosions, and later
worked in connection with a de
tective agency in procuring evidence
against union officials.
Mrs. Hockin, who has been his stead
fast champion throughout the trial,
said tonight that sh never had been
"double crossed, and- would sacrifice
her home in nn attempt to obtain bond,
in case the union fails to look after
the interests of her husband.
MMAXIGAL GAIXIXG WEIGHT
Confessed Dynamiter Expects to Be

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 5. Ortie E. Mc
Manlgal. the confessed dynamiter and
principal witness against the union la
bor officials recently convicted at In
dianapolis of having engaged in a nation-wide
"'conspiracy to transport ex
plosives illegally, arrived in Los
Angeles tonight from the Indiana city.
McManigal, who was "lent" to the
Government by Los Angeles County,
was hurried from the train to the
County Jail. He said he had gained ten
pounds while in the East.
It was said by officials that McMan
igal would be the principal witness at
the approaching trial in this city of
Anton Johannsen. a union labor offi
cial of San Francisco, who is charged
with having been a party to the dyna
mite conspiracy.
It was said that McManigal hoped to
be freed after he had testified in the
Johansen case and that he might be
come a detective witn a well-known
agency.

ITALY HAS LARGE SURPLUS
Financial Condition of Government
Satisfactory Despite War.
ROME, Jan 4. (Special.) In spite
of increased expenditure, the Italian
budget of 1912 closed with a surplus of
over $10,000,000. while the budget of
next year is estimated to yield a sur
plus of nearly $15,000,000.
This state of things shows that the
financial conditions of the country are
highly satisfactory, for the war with
Turkey cost about $110,000,000 and $40.
000.000 are yet needed to close the ac
counts. And over $50,000,000 have been
appropriated for the construction of
two battleships, several torpedoboats
and two Colonial cruisers.
Taxpayers' Choices Are Named. '
OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 5. (Spe
