Fraternal Societies o f Illinois Sound
Warning Against Measure.
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Will
Start on Time. , -
Chicago, May 11.— Leaders o f fra ­
ternal insurance societies have discov­
ered a joker in house bill No. 662,
now ready for a third reading in the
Illinois legislature, which, i f passed,
w ill develop a billion-dollar insurance
combine with power to force smaller
concerns and fraternal orders out o f
the insurance business.
The bill in question contains a clause
which provides that any insurance com­
pany doing business in Illinois may is­
sue policies with special rates o f pre­
mium leas than the usual rates to
members o f labor unions, lodges and
other organizations who, through an
officer, may take out insurance o f not
less than 100 members.
In this proviso fraternal men see pos­
sibilities o f a great insurance corpora­
tion, which, by cutting rates,' would
utterly annihilate competition o f small­
er and fraternal concerns. I t was . on­
ly by accident that the attention o f
fraternal men was drawn to the joker.
A strong lobby w ill be sent to Spring-
field to fight it.

The

is
ninety-niqs per cent, complete, which
means that everything is done save
sweeping the floors, and the other ex­
position, which consists o f the most
magnificent scenery and the longest

American city, is always ready.

is already assured, but fo r this fact
they do not g iv e the whole credit to
either the management or the publi­
city campaign. On the contrary, they
declare that the imminent influx into
the Northwest is due more largely to
Northwestern resources and home pos­
sibilities and to Northwestern and
Alaskan scenery and romance, more
than to any other power o f attraction.
N igh tly now the exposition grounds
are lighted fo r the enjoyment o f the
pre-exposition crowds which daily go

anceh as averaged close upon 6,000.

Sheep shearing in Umatilla county

though some o f the earlier shearer«
have already finished their season’ s
clipping. Results from the shearing
plants prove that the earlier prophecy
o f good clips for this year is proving
as predicted. The fleeces are found to
be unbroken and the staple good, due
largely to the early grass and the bet­
ter than common condition o f the sheep
because o f the close winter.
The lambing season fo r Umatilla
county w ill last but a few days longer,
though it w ill not close quite so soon

increase this year in the county w ill be
above 95 per cent, with the total near­
er the lower figure. The increase in
Umatilla county w ill approach the
maximum this year because o f the ex­
ceptionally good weather conditions.
The winter le ft the sheep fatter than
usual, due to the regularity o f the snow
conditions and the plentifulness o f hay.
Then the grass came early in the
spring keeping the fa t o f the sheep up

STATE S MAY L08E .
Appropriations fo r Rivers and Har­
bors May Revert to Government.
Washington, May 10.— Unless con­
gress takes specific action at the spec­
ial session now in progress, nearly $1,-
000,000 appropriated fo r river and har­
bor improvements in various sections
o f the United States w ill be turned
back into the national treasury, much
to the chagrin o f many congressmen
and senators.
This situation arises over the “ cov­
ering back” section o f the sundry civil
bill, approved March 4.
This section
provides that all unexpended balances
o f appropriations that remained on the
treasury books June 1, 1904, except
permanent specified appropriations,
judgments and findings o f courts and
trust funds and appropriations for ful­
filling treaty obligations with the In­
dians be carried to the surplus fund and
covered back into the treasury, “ pro­
vided that the money is not needed to
pay existing treaties.”
To meet the situation, Senator Burton
has introduced a resolution providing
that the section o f the sundry civil bill
in question shall not be construed as
applying to the unexpended balances in
river and harbor appropriations which
may be essential, in the judgment o f
the secretary o f war, fo r the mainten­
ance and prosecution o f the work for
which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that w ill
revert a re:
•
Mouth o f Columbia river, Oregon,
$24,000; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon,
$23,000; restraining barriers Sacra­
mento and Feather rivers, California,
$14,000; and harbor at Tacoma, Wash­
ington, $11,000.
Daily Shocks Continue.
Rome, May 10.— Since the great
earthquake o f December scarcely a day
has passed without shocks, more or
less strong, being fe lt at Messina,
Reggio and surrounding districts. The
obervatory in the Calabrian earthquake
zone has registered from December 28
lasL up to today, 213 shocks.
Since
the former date there have been no
shocks strong enough to destroy build­
ings. Tottering walls have been over­
thrown, but there has been practically
no loss o f life since the day .of the
great disaster.

All American Property at K esa b

BORRIBLE CONDITIONS PREVAIL

Beirut, Asiatic Turkey, May 8.— An
investigator. who has just returned
here from a trip to Kessab reporta
that all the American property at that
place has been completely destroyed by
the Moslem raiders. The American
property there consisted o f a g irls’
S)igh school under the direction o f Miss
Effie N. Chambers. Three-quarters o f
the native houses also have been de­
stroyed, but the Armenian church and
the new Protestant school building are
standing.
Almost all o f the people
who fled from Kessab have returned to
find their houses looted. They are ab­
solutely destitute.
Some food and
clothing are being distributed, but
there is no system in the work and the
supplies are inadequate.
One band o f Turkish reserves has re­
turned to the town, but as they took
part in the rioting and killing there,
the people cannot trust them.
The
protection afforded is in no sense suffl-

Paris, May 8.— Warned in advance
that to strike means dismissal from th e
service, the members o f the Post, T el­
egraph A Telephone Employes associa­
tion ih various cities have already vot­
ed in principle for a general strike, and
the congress o f railroad men has order­
ed a referendum on the question o f or­
dering a strike and has appointed a
strike committee.
That a strike w ill result is a foregone
conclusion. The cities where it has
been’ decided upon include several o f
the largest’ industrial centers, such as
Lyons and Havre. The time to strike
alone appears to be undecided, having
been le ft by the local unions to the
general strike committee o f each or- *
ganization.
The determination o f the government
to fight to a finish the question o f the
right o f stste employes to strike is
shown by the declaration o f M. Bar-
thou, the minister o f public works,
that the government in the event o f
an attempt being made to strike, w ill
instantly discharge from the service
any postman who ceases work.
