How tha war haa affected the In surance business was the subject of aa Interestlns discussion yesterder by Edward A. Woods, of Plttsburs. who waa elected president of the National Ufa 1'ndarwrlters Association at the recent convention In an Francisco, and who la vlsltlns for a few days with Insurance men In Portland. "Altboush the American life Insur ance companies were dolns heavy business In Europe previous to the war eiptalned Mr. Woods, "the losses bsve been sllsht. This Is due. prob ably to the fact that the averase soldier has not reacnea me see . which It Is customary to take out life insurance. Those who do carry It are only Ushtly Insured" Mr. woods explained mat ine com pany he represents has been required to pay only ti'.0 la losses as a result of Vbe war.

Cnder the provisions of this clause Insured persons, emisieo for service ln any army actually en- saced In war. are required to pay an additional premium of II OS a year en each .1000 of Insurance, i ne Ameri can companies, as a result, have col lected hundreds or thousands or aoxll tlonal premiums since the war be Ran. Despite this ei.ua premium, the lapses have been few. -But the war." explains Mr, Woods. "haa not bean the aubject.of as much consideration amor.

"In other words, a drlnklns man a mlshty poor risk.

The mortality of .teetotalers be tween the ages of SS and SO years, when men are of the most use to society. Is only 6 per cent of the averase mortality." Mr. Woods Intimated that the life Insurance companies are lending passive support to the prohibition movement.

The Hill murder case Is entire ly out of the Jurisdiction of Multno mah County, and any official investiga tion - or action In the courts must be made by Clackamas County officials In the Clackamas County courts, declared J. E, Hedges, Acting District Auorney, today. Mr. Hodges found that section 1S8S, Lord's Oregon Laws, reads: "When a crime Is committed on or within one mile of the boundary line of two or more counties, or when the boundary line between two or more counties Is unknown or uncertain, and It la doubtful In which county such crime waa committed, an action there. for may be commenced and tried in either county. The Hill home In the Ardenwald dls trict Is well within Clackamas County, and there Is no doubt of the county line or the place where the crime was committed. Mr. Hedges Is of the opinion that a county cannot take advantage of this law unless "It la doubtful in which county the crime was committed." The mere fact that the Hill home was with in a mile of the county line would not give Multnomah County Jurisdiction, as the element of doubt necessary under this statute Is lacking;. Mr. Hedges be lieves. District Attorney Evans, of Multno mah County, has been Investigating the case and. after studying the location of the Hill home, declared yesterday that Multnomah County could take up the case.

Coaacll Asked to Provide Paaap aad Sararlnaj Oat fit to Prevent the Spread of Peat. Investigation which revealed tha fact that parts of Portland are be sieged with elm leaf beetles and that unless steps are taken at once to fight them the city will lose all Its elms. caused Park Superintendent Convill yesterday to urge the Council to pro vide funds at once for a pump outfit and spray to conduct a campaign of extermination.

The pest, which has ravaged elm trees of the East for years past, is reported to exist In millions In Laurel hurst and to extend as far north as North Irvington and south to Division street on the East Elds and en Ban croft avenue on the West Side. The beetle la said to be one which propa gates and spreads extremely rapidly, killing elm trees within a short time. Elm leaves are its oniy tooo. It Is reported that In parts of Laurel. hurst trees already have been killed. The pests, after eating the leaves, have died aad now lie In piles under the trees. Mr. Convill says the peat naa oeen bars about two years. Within two years more, he vara, the Insects. If un checked, will destroy every elm tree in tha cltr.
