We will man every wagon in Chicago wltW a deputy sheriff In order to preterve peace if such a Step Is necessary." Th'i Hide and Leather association, one of the members of the Team Owners' asso ciation,' at a meeting today decided to makn deliveries to all firms regardless of whether they were Involved In the strike or not. This concern handles all the mer chandise of the greater part of the drug stores and boot and shoo manufacturers throughout the city and should the team sters decide to call out the union drivers employed by the association it would affect 650 men. At a meeting of furniture manufacturers held this afternoon It was decided that all teamsters employed by the firms repre sented would make deliveries or be dis charged. Employers Offer Rewards. '.The Employers' association, at a meeting this afternoon at the Union League club decided to offer a reward of $60 for the arrest and conviction of any person discovered Interfering In any way with their employes who have taken the places of the strikers. ' The general situa tion of the strike was discussed at length by the members and it was stated at the conclusion that everyone was satisfied with the progress that was being made toward getting their business back on a normal basis. Traction Mea Will Not Strike. International President Mahon of the ftreet Railway Men's union today continued his probing into the street car company phase of the situation. He is not for a trike. "I don't deny," said Mahon, "that there The Dealer J I who knows points B 1 ' to that label when tj I asked for the R B Most Popular Shirt 1 9 v Original designs; 8 9 colors that stay.

H i seems to be considerable sentiment among tho rank and file for a strike, a sympathetic walkout and the tying up of the union traction lines. I have been through a lot of strikes In the last twenty years, and I do not want to see these men strike. "if municipal ownership Is to be installed here these employes would go in under civil service regulations. What would it avail them to strike now and lose the chance for civil service? No, sir; the con ductors, grlpmen and motormen cannot Strike on a sympathetic Issue." Mr. Mahon admitted, however, that If the firemen and engineers go out and deliveries of coal by nonunion teamsters continues the leaders may not be able to hold the street car employes' union In check. Ag gravatlng the situation today there was a general report that the Union Traction company would make a positive refusal to the proposition to renew agreements with the union on the basis of a reduced schedule of hours of employment. As a result of the boycott placed on boy cot ted department stores, more than 400 clerks are temporarily Idle. "There is one feature of the police work that I wish to pall special attention to," said Chief of Police O'Nell today. "That Is that most of the trouble reported has come from ths vicinity of wagons protected by injunction of the United States court We have not been asked to furnish police protection for these, and we have not done so. A few flying Squadrons and the order to arrest the followers of such caravans will do much to clear up that situation." Mayor Purine this afternoon gave orders that the 800 employes of the city water pipe extension department shall hold themselves In readiness to assist the police whenever occasion requires. Bank Under Ban. Labor leaders and their followers were considerably stirred up today over the action of the Chicago banks represented in the Clearing House association passing res olutions urging sending the militia to Chi cago and raising $50,000 to help the Chicago Employers' association in its present fight on the teamsters. Efforts, It is said, would be made to find a "fair" bank In Chicago, and if such is found it Is planned to have the laboring men withdraw savings from banks under the ban and aeposlt with the bank not furnishing funds to fight the strikers. President Shea, of the Teamsters union said today: 'If the plan Is adopted It is probable that union men with about $23,000,000 In savings deposits will be asked to take them out.1 The produce commission business In South Water street has been so crippled on ac count of the strike that many of tho mer chants discussed the advisability of dosing (heir doors tomorrow at 1 o'clock and de clare a lockout until the strike was settled An impromptu meeting was held, but the majority voted not to take such a step. George L. Linn, who called the meeting, said: "Should this strike last much longer we will all probably have to go out of but.'ncss. Tho business men In the street are losing between $75,000 and $100,000 daily. Shippers have been to alarmed about the strike that they have abandoned Chicago as a shipping place."

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY ' IS 'UNABATED Little Friction Between Capital a4 Labor Aside from the Chicago Strike T radio Hetnrns . . Well Maintained. 1 NEW YORK, Msy i.-R. OV Dun & Co weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Weather Irresufailtles Drovided the' 6niy check to business, partly through the di rect effect on retail distribution of season able wearing hpparel, but more through ine aeveiopment ol caution among iramn In some agricultural sections where riops have been Uamainl or farm work ret;wdod. On the whole, however, encouraging 'prog; ress is snown in mose ruie repori unu Industrial activity is unabate1. The special jobbing dry good sales attiacted a -large attendance and results surpassed expecta tions. Textile manufacturing is In a bet ter position than at any recent date, the strengtn or me raw material giving noui tlonal firmness to finished fabrics. Foot wear factories in New England are well engaged and there la no reduction In the force at work in the various departments of the Iron and steel Industry. Aside from the Chicago strike there Is exceptionally little friction between capital und labor, many higher wage scales going into effect this week. Traffic returns ar well main tained, railway earnings for April exceeding last year's by 10.6 per cent, and lake navi gation is heavy. Foreign commerce at this port alone for the last week shows a gain of $3,159,534 in value In merchandise over the same time last year, while exoorts in creased $1,768,488. Country prices are de pressed by unprecedented production, but consumption Is on a scale that precludes the possibility of any excessive accumu lation In the near future. Duplicate orders for woolen goods are appearing In moderate volume; textile fab rics await returns from clothiers. The few reports received thus fnr are satisfactory, the firm position of raw material piecludlng the possibility of price concessions. Hides continue firm, but sales are smaller as the leading buyers are supplied for current needs. Dealers are declining bids slightly below the market. Leather is quiet. Failures this week in the United States ore 212, against 24 last week. 204 the pre ceding week and 207 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 22, against 15 last week, 21 the preceding ween and 27 lust year. REFORr OF TUB CLEARING HOI SK Transactions of the Associated Banks Durlnar the Past Week.

BRADITRErS REVIEW OP TRADE RSmeroni Lines of Business Are Taklac a Breathing Spell. NEW YORK, May 6. Bradatreefs tomor row will say: What might be termed a breathing spell is being taken In numerous lines of trade and industry pending the advent of settled weather, clearer views of crop outlook and the settlement of the Chicago strike. Heavy rains or cool weather have retarded corn and cotton crop preparations and retail trade, but have rather favored winter wheat, which fully holds the magnificent promise of a month ago, while an increased area Is certain In siting wheat, which latter, however, needs more moisture. Iron and ateet are rather quieter as regards new business, and Increased ease is noted In eld material, nig iron- and bars, but structural material Is eagerly bid for and large orders for railway bars guarantee activity for the mills for months to come. The building trsdes and allied lines, such as lumber, hardware, paints and glass, are apparently dnlpg the business of their lives, unchecked and untouched by the usual May day labor disturbances. ah ititli-l measures of trade progress point to general business showing satis factory increases over preceding years at this date. Bank clearings are of enormous volume, next to the largest ever recorded; fnlluiea are fewer and liabilities smaller thsn a year ago. railway earnings re Indicative of a heavy tonnage movement, but monev remains strikingly easy, con slderlna present snd recently past activity in trsde and finance. Wo'il has been active In all markets this week and some varieties of cotton and woolen dress goods display relatively moet Ktlvltv. Metals other than iron are rather 1 2 3 Song; to Sleep by Coffee. "The fearful work coffee has done for me Is difficult to describe. "I had no idea how weakened one can become from the breaking down effect of Coffee on the nerves. "When that has gone on long enough, most anything may set In. I had 8 at tacks of pneumonia and became a chronic Invalid. I had no Idea that Coffee had put me in my deplorable condition. Well I finally went to Colprado on advice, and found a nice place to board with a family. The man of the house had Just returned from a sojourn in California whither he had gone for heart trouble, but the doctor out there discovered his weak heart was oaused by coffee, took It away and gave him Poatum. His trouble quickly dimin ished and he came home a well man. He suggested that . probably It was Coffee affected me. I laughed him to scorn, never theless I began gingerly on Postum and found It so rich, and with a nice coffee snap and I liked It immensely. "From the beginning the Postum Coffee had a beneficial effect on me. I Improved In every way, my sleep came back, healthy and refreshing, and In a few weeks I went home a well woman, as J am to this day. I still use Postum of eourse, and will never return to the old kind. , "Noting the good effeets of Postum in my case, I wrote home urging that it be given to my 12-year-old daughter, who was very delicate and frequently ill from a compli cation of diseases connected with the liver. Well, my people tried it, but were disgusted with It they didn't ake it right. They said It was impossible for them to drink it, and my daughter rebelled and cried for the old kind of coffee. Wben I came home I changed all that by making it right allowing It to boll for tweny minutes after It first cams to a boil, and served it with cream. The child relished it at ones, and benefited from the first, strength came to her day by da and she began to develop and was enabled to go to school much more regularly. "It was a year after I began to use Postum before my husband would use It. He preferred to carry a small bottle of pepsin, and every time he drank coffee would take a dose of pepsin to overcome the sour stomach produced by the ceffee. He held out for a year, but of course got worse and finally got to feeling so badly that he grew desperate and tried Postum. After the third day he became' a convert to Pcstum and the pepsin bottle went Into ths ash barrel. This was 'two years ago, and be still uses Postum and is entirely free from tho old troubles." Name given by Postum Co., Buttle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Breckenridge Delivers an Address on Insurance Before Law School. IN- fAVOR OF NATIONAL SUPERVISION State Regulation Expensive, Often Corrupt and . In n Good Many Instances Proves to Be Inefficient. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 6. (Special Telegram.) W. Breckonrldge of Omaha de livered an address today before the Yale law school on "Insurance Law." He said In part: Fire Insurance serves as s basis of credit. It Is, in fact, collateral. Commercial confi dence and the credit system of the country rest upon It as much as upon the financial responsibility of men and mercantile cor- ftorailons. The merchant who desires a Ine of credit for purchases from a manu facturer or wholesale dealer In a distant city, Is required to assure his creditor that the merchandise will be insured not only while in transit, but after it has reached Its destination. Bankers require their bor rowers to carry tire insurance. Borrowers upon the security of buildings are required to agree In advance to keep the property Insured for the benefit of the lender. Every fire insurance contract written by a com pany outside the state of Its creation in volves interstate commercial Intercourse. The business requires the transmission of money from the insured to insurer and In case of loss, from, Insurer to Insured; the use of the malls, and much Interstate com munication. The policy is signed by the officials of the company at its home office: it is countersigned by the local agent who reports to the home office or the depart ment manager of the company all the to talis with regard to the risk and frequently upon receipt of such report the Insurance is ordered cancelled; the premium Is re mitted by the local agent to the home of fice or the department manager, and if loss occurs adjustment is 'made by the company's representative sent from the home office or Its department headquarters. Cost of Supervision, Thus It appears that Insurance in one form or another Is interwoven with the fabric of our commercial and social life; und while the supervision of any business of a private character would be san im pertinence, the people who carry insurance have a right to the protection given through that publicity which can only be had by the Inquisitorial investigations of the gov ernment; and a system of state supervi sion has therefore grown up. The original purpose of supervision was to expose the weakness and fraud of irresponsible com panies, but latterly the great accumula tion by the companies, of money in sight, has proven too strong a temptation for the states, to resist. Accordingly whenever the ned for funds has presented Itself, as it almost constantly has, an onslaught has been made by the stats legislatures upon the money held in trust for the people by the insurance companies, until now the states receive from the companies doing business In the United States, under vary ing forms of exactions, a sum that has never been definitely calculated, but which is estimated at from 20,0u0,0u0 to $U5,000.0tX) annually. From tables complied upon re ports furnished by twenty-eight states, it appears that those states received from Insurance companies during the fiscal year 1801 over JB.000,000 more than the supervi sion of those companies cost them; and this sum does not include what they re ceived in taxes. sailed from this port last night for Cavlte with coal, is ashore oft liodkin's Point.

Ia., May 5.-(8pec!a! Tele gram.) The burning of a barn and five horaes at an early hour this morning neav Homer, Neb., by a firebug, brought a call for bloodhounds to Sioux City. William Wallway was awakened this morning by the crackling of flames. Before the blaze could be subdued it destroyed the barn and two haystacks. The loss la estimated at $2,000. Tracks of a lone man were found leading from the scene. Favors National Supervision. But this Is not all. It is within the ex- ferlence cf nearly all companies, fire and ife, that they have served as bankers for dishonest, petty officials connected with., many state Insurance departments, who have boldly levied blackmail. This-is a scandal that no self-respecting people can alio to continue. Ths history ot state supervision shows Its inadequacy to cope with the evils that brought It forth. "Solvency with publicity' are the objects of supervision," said Audi tor Hart ot lndlaha. The national conven tion of insurance commissioners to whom he made that declaration (Columbus, ltmSi reported a list of eighty-six Irresponsible and unauthorized or "wildcat" companies whose fraudulent operations the several State Insurance departments could not curb. These concerns reap their harvests among the rural communities of the several states and find a market for worthless Insurance because it is cheap. The same convention adopted a resolution favoring congressional action forbidding the use of the mails to any Insurance company not authorised In the state of Its domicile, and also memorial ised congress urging such legislation, simi lar action was taken at the Baltimore meeting of state Insurance commissioners In October. l'"3. It takes the long, strong arm of federal law to reach and properly punish such rascality. Federal laws are more rigidly enforced than state laws. British tlieamer Aajroond. BALTIMORE. May i.
