WILL TEIT IOWA ANTI-TRUST LAW
I.ornl Agents Vny They Are Power
less, hnt Admit the Loses In the
City Do .Vot Require the
Proposed Increase,
The wholesale and Jobbing houtea In
Council Bluffs aro up In arms against the
trust or combination of Arc Insurance com
panies, which has nnnounced a material
Increase In tho rates as now existing to
tako effect on the first of tho year. A
meeting of the representatives of the lead
ing wholcsalo, jobbing and implement firms
was hold yesterday evening, nt which the
matter was thoroughly dlscussod and reso
lutions were adopted protesting against the
proposed ralao in rates, which are deemed
sufficiently high at present. This commit
tco was appointed to confer with the In
surance companies: Fred Davis, secretary
and treasuror of the Pioneer Implement
company; John Schoontgcn of tho
wholcsalo grocery firm of Gronewcg &
Schoentgen, W. W. Loomls, treasurer of
David Bradley & Co., and Bampcl 11. Wads
worth, city attorney,
Tho Incrcaso proposed by the combina
tion of flro Insurance companies ranges
from 20 to 00 per cent and will mean
$1,000 a year additional burden to such
wholrsalo houses as that of Groneweg &
Schoentgen and many of tho largo Imple
ment firms on South Main street. Notice
of tho proposed ralso in rates has Just
been promulgated from Cedar Rapldt, where
tho headquarters of the alleged trust or
combination of flro insurance companies
doing business In Iowa Is said to be lo
cated. In Foe nf Antl-Trnst l.nir.
There Is an anti-trust Insurance law In
Iowa, which was passed to prevent and
prohibit pooling In rates by the different
Insurance companies. Reforc this law was
enacted tho Insurance companies kept an
agent In eaoh of the large cities In the
stato who regulated the rates. After the
passage of the law this agent had to go
out of business, but tho Insurance compa
nies, It Is alleged, manage4 to evade th
law by maintaining headquarters In Cedar
Rapids, where a man named Ronnett Is
said to. regulate rates all over the state.
He decides what the rate shnll bo In each
city and tho local agents of the several
fire Insurance companies have to abide by
hl dictum. All rates accordingly, slnoe
tho enactment of tho anti-trust Insurance
law, are promulgated from Cedar Rapids
and tho flro Insuranco companies aro as
much a pool as ever, It is alleged.
The manner In which the flro Insuranco
companies do business In Iowa, It Is con
tended, Is clearly contrary to and In viola
tion of the law and at the meeting last
evening it was decided to take a Arm
Btand nnd oppose the proposed raise In
rates. If necessary tho matter will, it Is
said, bo taken into the courts.
Tho wholosalh and Jobbing houses of this
city, whloh represent a large amount of
capital, are determined to light the pro
posed Increase at all hazards and- say they
will expend a large sum of monoy by ap
pealing to tho courts rather than submit
to the demands of the alleged trust.
CnlU It an Out?.
Tho secretary and treasurer of one of the
largo wholesale agricultural Implement
firms which will be affected by the pro
posal ralso In rates In talking of tho mat-
tor said: "Wo are paying now all we
should bo required to pay for fire lnsuranca
and this proposed lnorease Just promul
gated from Cedar Rapids Is an outrage.
I cannot designate it as anything less.
Thoro Is no cause or reason why the Insur
ance companies should ralso tholr rates In
Council Bluffs. There have been fow fires
In this city of nny consequence for sev
eral years and with tho "excellent fire de
partment we have when compared with
other cities the risks aro less than In other
places. Wo shall certainly fight this pool
of the' Insurance companies to the bitter
last and will appeal to the courts before
wo will submit to what we consider Is a
direct Imposition."
Local Agrnti Porrrrless.
"Wo local Agents havo no voice in the
matter," said an agent for several of the
large Are insurance companies. "We get
our rates from Bennett at Cedar Rapids and
have to abide by thorn. The rate on large
area buildings In Council Bluffs has been
very low and several" of the largo com
panies have found the businou so unprofit
able that they havo pulled out of the state
and reinsured their risks. While it must
bo admitted that the loss by Ore In this city
has been low for several years, yet through
out tho state during this year It has been
particularly heavy and the Insurance com
panies have been hit very hard. While In
the city of Council Bluffs the business has
teen profitable, it has been the reverse
throughout the stato and thoso companies
which have not pulled out decided that to
make It profltablo tho rates must be raised."
When asked if tho anti-compact law of
Iowa wns not Intended fo prevent the pool
ing of Insuranco companies and tint "promul
gating of rates, as was dono by Bennett at
Cedar Rapids, he said that he thought not,
and that anyhow Judge McPherson of the
United States court In1 a Nobraska caBe had
ruled that the antl-compacUlnsuranco law
there was unconstitutional, and ns the Iowa
law wns practically the same It must also
be unconstitutional.

Lesjal Existence, to Which Ob
jection Is Raised by
Landlord,
The affairs of the Labor Temple associa
tion, an organization perfected by several
of the local unions of the city a few years
ago, are said to bo In a very bad shape, and
tho condition has become eo onerous to cer
tain of tho Interested parties that a request
has been made to certain of the board of
directors asklns them to resign.
There is no charge of wrongdoing upon
the part of the persons who nro asked to
resign, but It Is claimed that they aro
blocking the work of the association.
When the organization was formed a num
ber of the promoters used their personal
credit to securo furniture and fixtures for
the building which had been. leased and for
the payment of which they had already
bound themselves. Since that time the ren
tals have boen paid when they became due
and the obligations of the association have
been redeemed until It owes but $50 on the
purchase price of Its furniture and fixtures,
while nil other debts are paid. There
would have been no difficulty In the matter
had not tho building In which the temple Is
now located beon rented to other parties
on a basis of rent which tho association
could not pay. New quarters were found
In the old Control hotel building owned by
Frank B. Kennard, at Fifteenth and Dodge
streets. When It came to making a lease
Mr. Kennard found that the association had
no legal existence nnd that the present
managers were not financially responsible
for the payment of the rent. He thereforo
refused to make the lease and this caused
the (request for the resignation, ns the
unions Interested In the matter desired to
elect as managers parties who would be ac
cepted by the owner of the building as per
sonally responsible for tho payment of the
rent, and while tho profits would Inure to
the association, It would be relieved of the
necessity for Incorporating and Issuing
stock.
Inquiry among thoso who first assumed
the obligations ot the association and who
were In the main respoislble for Its uc
crss developed the fact that with the proper
safeguards they will again take tho re
sponsibility upon themselves, while they
are not anxious for the position. The mat
ter will be brought to the attention of the
unions Interested li the association, but
some of them do not meet In regular ses
sion until the end of December, while the
temple association has to give possession
of tho present building by the first of next
year.
The uilons having membership on tho
board of directors are the typographical,
the painters, the pressmen, the plumbers,
the bricklayers, the carpenUs, the ma
chinists, the horaeshoers, the electrical
workers and the clgarmakers,

SEQUEL TO THEIR ROMANCE
Ntnry nf (he Stnotsky Wedding and
Divorce Is Retold In
Court,
When Mrs. Golds E. Stselsky married
Abraham Stootsky of North Platte she
thought she was marrying a wealthy land
owner who had thousands of acres of fer
tile lands and horses enough to supply all
Europe. Sho came all the way from Bahaw,
Russia, to wed the Nebraskan.
The thousands of acres dwindled down to
a quarter section ot prairie land, nnd the
herd of horses proved to bo a team of bron
chos. The. Income of $6,000 a year which
she supposed her husband had, proved to be
a salary of $60 per month.
Two children Zuleme and Jacob were
born to the union. After living in North
riatte for several years the mother decided
she could not endure her husband's humble
lot any longer and secured a divorce In tho
Omaha courts. Judge Cunningham R. Scott
tried the case. During the trial the father
wns allowed to seo the children for only an
hour nt a tlmo and In the presence sf the
Judge.
Mrs. Stootsky was given the two children
and a farm In Lincoln county. She left for
New York In 1898 with the two children. A
short time ago the father learned that his
former wife was unable to care for the
children and had placed them In an orphans'
home rather than allow them to come tnta
his possession. He has applied to the dis
trict court for the custody ot the children
and hopes to bring them back to Nebraska.
Ho also asks to have the farm given back
to htm.

CUNS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Osdtti May Bteilr AratHtnt frm tht
Otitnl Chmrnmtit
ARMy MAN FOR MILITARY INSTRUCTOR
General Corhln Tells President Hay
ward Row the Desired Equip
ment May Re "eenred by
the School Board.
By psylng the difference between the so
tlve service pay and the retired list salary
of seme army officer who has withdrawn
from active duty the Board of Education
enn secure for the high school a regular
army officer ns commandant of cadets.
With such a man assigned to this post It
will then be possible for the government to
furnish rifles nnd other equipment to the
cadots of the battalion.
Information to this effect has been re
ceived by President Hoyward of the school
bonrd from the office ot Adjutant General
Corbtn at Washington, An attempt was
first made to secure the guns under thit
present military regime of Commandant
Pearse. That being Impossible under ttut
rule that guns can go only where regularly
assigned army officers are stationed, the re
quest was made that ono be sent to Omaha,
To this respoase has Just como that tht
school does not come under the category
of "universities, colleges nnd schools"
mentioned as eligible for such service,
However, the department stated that It the
High school cared to select some man from
tho retired list and make up the difference
In his pay to an active service standard the
government would allow such an arrange
ment and then send tho guns.
The point now Is first to find some re
tired officer who would consent to take
tho work and then to pay him. The young
est mas In the lot now is a colonel, and tt
would take $76 a month to make his salary
what It was before ho retired. Commandant
Pearse gets $50. Tho school board will de
termine next Monday night, To buy out
right the guns needed would cost about
$1,600.
