THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1006. DENTISTRY NATIONAL CONTROL FAVORED I ,7 I K A ' EFFECT OF THAT BOYCOTT Bock Island Gets Less Than Twenty of Two Tbou mi Cart of Grain.

Nothing has happened to change the sit 'vf uatlon In the Rock Island boycott measure. .lnlsA Iaoi , 1 U I 1 1 . , t .. .J UV ivn iuwii - ' O ufmm to vmuasu ana me seaooara, ana which nullified for tne time being the detrimental effect to Omaha of the Iturk Island's discriminating Kansas City-Mem-phis equalization, became noneffective Fri day at midnight, and Qmalia grain buyers are feeling the effect of the Hock Inland's hand, aa the did for a short time before the period of Jow rates.. Kansas City grain men now have, the best of Omaha buyers. In the. larger part of the Nebraska territory south of the Platte, and the latter are compelled to pay more than the market warrants In order to keep the grain from going to the rival town. "It seams, new to be simply a matter of endurance," said BecretAD . E. J. McVann of the Omaha Oram exchange. "The Rock Island people hava , made no sign to us that -they Intend to retreat from their po sition and the Omaha shippers are cer tainly holding to their determination not to show the offending road any consider ation In the matter of shipments. We are watching with interest to see what th Rock Island will do, as the thin? cannot continue forever In the present status. "The Omaha commercial bodies have re ceived no notice of an additional cut In the minimum Kansas City-Memphis propor tional, although Mr. Kiddle recently said It might bo necessary to 'make another re duction in order that the Rock Island might get aa much' Nebraska grain as. it wanted. i unreel 01 tne cut. Vj "If this Cut should come it would bring the nrorjortlnnal frnm'O-'U cnnti TV ronto and would afford tne S cents advantage tuw jvutn isiana ngurea on wnen 11 maae tha first cut, which was, In effect, a reduc tion of only 1 cents, by reason of the fact that the payment of elevation allow ance was abollBhed at Kansas City. In such a contingency we will have great hopes In the Illinois Central, which In aelf -protect Ion ought to come in and make a' rata which would bring the grata over Its lines. That road was- very much put out aver the recent action of the Rock Island, and though to the present It haa declined to engage In a rate war. Its offi cials probably will refuse to alt Idly by while another encroachment is made." One proof, .that the boycott of Omaha on the Rock: Island' Is effective Is found on tha books Of the Omaha Grain exchange. They show that out of about 2,000 cars of grain shipped east from this city during tha twelve days of low rates less than twenty- cars' went Over that road.

BRECKINRIDGE SUBMITS HIS REPORT Maay Reforms Are Reeosnsaeaded, Among These Repeal af Valaed Poller Laws aa ae-Callea Reclproeal Tat Laws. The report ' of the Insurance committee of the American Bar association, to be read at the meeting of ths association In St. Paul Auguat i. 30 and tl, haa Just been made public by Ralph W. Brecken rldge, the chairman. The report Is volumi nous and covers a number of mooted ques tions In the Insurance world. Besides Mr. Breckenrldge the members of the committee are Burton Smith of Atlanta, Oa.j Rodney A. Mercer, Towanda, Pa.; Alfred Hemenway of Boston and W. R. Vance of Washington. D. C. Mr. Vance dissents from the report and Mr. Hemen way took no part In the report of the committee. Briefly summarized these are the recom mendations made by the committee: That the Insurance committee be directed to draft and report to the next annual meeting of the association a bill that shall rn'eguard the Interests of the life com panies and thlr policy holders, but which shall require deferred dividends on life fiollcles to be biennially apportioned, crea ted and notified to the holders of such policies. The repeal of the so-called reciprocal or retaliatory tax laws, The repeal of the valued policy laws. The creation In each state of the office Of fire marshal. : Stricter Incorporation laws In the several states, with particular reference' to the capital stock and stockholders' obligations In insurance companies. . The enactment of a federal statute for bidding the use of the malls to persona, associations, co-partnerships or corpora tions, conducting any kind of .Insurance business In th.? United States, who are not licensed to transact such business by the ' states where such persons, associa tions, co-partnerships or corporations are domiciled, or under whose laws any such corporations are created. The enactment of a federal statute pro viding for the supervision of Interstate transactions In insurance. Recent Insurance Dlsolosares. The report discusses the recent Insurance disclosures and deplores the loss of con fidence In the companies by the American public, though the companies, it says, are Undoubtedly solvent.. It criticises the Arm strong committee and condemns the legis lation proposed by the committee as In efficient. . The committee places the responsibility for corruption by company and state offi cials with respect to 11 fo insurance com panies in "extravagance, manipulation of Investments, excessive commissions or riot ous desire for bigness." which It saya haa developed out of the failure to apportion frequently and account for tha Immense surplus accumulated through the deferred dividend policy. It therefore recommends a biennial apportionment Of these funds. The committee favors the supervision of Insurance companies In order to protect policy holders against fraud or corruption. But a decided ' stand Is taken against atate supervision and In favor of federal super vision. The exactions of stats departments are declared to be oppressive? It Is charged that the states exact from the Insurance companies $25,000,000 annually In one way .or another, and that this really constitutes a tax upon the policy holders. Insurance Is declared to be In Ha essence a tax and these exactions by the states a tax upon a tax. The policy of certain- states of tax ing foreign companies at a higher rate than local companies '1s condemned. ' "", J '. Arraigns State CoatroL The report, arraigns stats supervision In these terms: The trouble Is that the state Insurance departments are sinecures. They are po litical prises. Knowledge of the Insurance business Is the last thing required. They are mere collection agencies. They offer the most seductive opportunities for fraud and graft that exist in the United States. Your committee do not wish to be under stood as charging that all state insurance commissioners are dishonest, nor that all of them are Incompetent; and we repeat the conviction expressed in our 1006 report: "There are in many states capable and effi cient commissioners or superintendents who are engaged in the conscientious perform ance of their duties." But the dealings of the state Insurance departments with the Insurance companies of America, the details of which are within the reach of any per son who seeks to inform himself with re spect thereto, show that the administra tion of the Insurance laws of many of the states has been characterised either by unblushing fraud mostly in the shape of blackmail or by gross Incompetency. It Is pointed out that the bulk of the business done by the larger Insurance com panies Is transacted outside the state in which the company Is domiciled. Figures are presented showing that In the case of twenty leading' life insurance companies only 15 per cent 6f their policies Is held In their home states. Seventeen of the largest fire Insurance companies In the state of New York wrote only Z5 per cent of their business and received only 16.7 per cent of their premiums from the home state. Tha report continues: The figures demonstrate that the bulk of the insurance husiness of the United States Is national, and not local. -In Its character. If the principle be conceded that only the Individual states have the right to regulate the business of Inaursnce Corporations of their rreation. regardless of the interstate character of the transactions, then the cir cumstance that the state of New York is the home of the "Big Three" life com 'panics (the New York Life, the Equitable and the Mutual Life), as well as of a num ber of the lesser life companies and of many leading companies that transact fire, cssualty, accident and other kinds of In surance, commits to the legislature and the Insurance department of that state virtual control of the Insurance business of the United States. Wot the Only Advoeates, The report denies the statement com monly made that the Insurance companies are the only advocates of federal control and presents figures showing a large per centage of the membership of the American Bar association were favorable to It. Con. slderable space Is devoted to a discussion of the constitutionality of federal control, the conclusion being that it la constitu tional. Turning from the discussion of the control of companies the report discusses wild oat Insurance organisations and recommends the denial of the malls to such companies. The report slso recommends the repeal of valued policy acta In states where they now exiat. 'These lawa are declared to be productive of arson, perjury and fraud. Along this line Is a recommendation for stats fire marshal laws, to be copied sfter the Ohio law. Under the law, there la a rigid Investigation by the marshal of all free to determine whether they were of In cendiary origin or not. The flrat six months under the law in Ohio forty persons were arrested for arson and thirty-three were convicted..- The fear of detection. It Is asserted, haa greatly re duced the number of. incendiary , fires In that state. It la. eatlmated that one-third Of all fires are. of Incendiary origin. The committee does not recommend any epeoino measure providing In detail for federal supervision, but submits a bill. In troduced by Senator Millard, which la a simple declaration of the power of con gress, leaving It to congress to enact sub sequent legislation. . Fls.las ana Camplast Rates a Clear . Lake. la..

Saturday ths mar ket waa flooded with peaches that had to be disposed of at most any price and to day there are none to be had except those that the grocers happen to have left over from last week. Naturally the price Is In proportion to the supply and they are sell ing today at SO cents a basket. There will be another shipment In soon, however. The chief . supply for canning will come from Colorado next month. Of, course, there will be tha home crop, but Indications ars that It will be limited in quality as well as quantity. , ., ,,, . Lemons are almost a luxury just now, which Is unusual for this season. The price haa. advanced tl a box, and they are re tailing at 40 cents a dosan. - Commission men and Jobbers say - this week will finish the Caiitornia canteloupes and there will be no more tinttl the Rocky Ford melons come In, which will be a week or ao. ' " " ' ' - California ploms are' also high, selling at 50 cents a basket, and Valencia oranges are to cents a dosen. Oklahoma watermelons are plentiful to day' and the beat of them may be had at 30 cents, though the most of them are re tailing at 20 cents. " . It Is worth any woman's while to make a trip to the wholesale market occasionally. She will have to go early If she gets the choice, but getting there early Is the only thing and she will get things at whole sale prices, too. The gardeners have every thing In season and it Is all fresh. Tl airly Reelpes. Cucumbers a la Poulette This was of pre paring cucumbers Is delicious. Mix a piece of butter the size of an egg with a table spoonful of flour. Put it In a sauce pan with one-third of a pint of cream. Let the butter melt without stirring It. When the cream bolls up put in three or four cucumbers which have been peeled, seeded and cut Into quarters lengthwise, and then cut again Into Inch long pieces. Boll for ten minutes or until soft In salted water, and drain carefully. After the cucumbers have been added to the sauce stir them for a mlnuje or two after they have begun to boll. Remove from the fire and stir In two beaten yolks of eggs and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Tomato Dish Select several large ripe to matoes and leave them In boiling water for a few minutes. Drain, remove the skins from them and after cutting to matoes Into slices, add. salt and pepper and a small piece of butter In each slice and then bake for fifteen minutes In a buttered pan. When cooked place each slice on a rounded slice of hot toast and pour over them all a sauce made aa fol lows: To one quarter of a pound of grated cheese, add three tablespoonfuls of milk, salt, pepper and mustard and allow to simmer until smooth. Egg Plant au Oratln Peel egg plant and cut In slices, sprinkle with salt, set aside for a time, then dry them on a cloth. Roll them In flour, fry In hot butter. To two tablespoons of melted butter add three of flour, half a spoon of salt and a dash of pepper. Cook and add half cup of tomato puree, and one-third cup of cream. Spread a layer of sauce on buttered grain dish, sprinkle with grated cheese and on thia a layer of egg plant. Continue the layers, leaving the last layer sauce and cheese. Spread over the whole cracker crumba and melted butter, and set In oven to brown. ' Stuffed Peppers Cut the stem end off the peppers and re-nove seeds. The pepper sheila must then be soaked In salted water for an hour that they may not be so strong. The filling may be made of any meat you have oa hand, chopped fine. Take one can of tomatoes and stew down very rich, seasoning to taste with butter, augar, salt. Mix it with the chopped meat and add bread crumba. Stuff pepper shells with' this llllng and then bake until very tender. FIRST CONCRETE STACK HERE Tea-Taoasaaa-Dollar C'hlaaaey Will Be Ballt by the Eleetrle LLaat Caatpaar.

TRAITORS TO THE PUBLIC Euoh ii ths Term City Engineer Appliei to Pamooratio Oonnoilmen. SAYS THEY HAVE DEMORALIZED AFPAlRo By Refaslagr to Connrni Appalatmeals Taey Hava Placed Bane Ipoa - City laiprovenaeats, ( lie Asserts. "Members of the democratic city council have proven traitors to the public wcliart and demoralized the engineering depart ment forces. They have done so for spoils and not to better the service. . Unless men tor the sewer, asphalt and Inspection de partments are confirmed by the council soon the contract work on pavements and sewers will have to stop, because we will be required, to use our engineering and office forces for Other purposes." This Is the statement made by City En gineer Rosewater Monday morning whtn asked if there wsre any indications that the council would approve the namea of employes submitted by the engineer laat Tuesday night. He said he had no Infor mation whatever bearing on the matter and that no conciliatory moves had been made by the council, which refused to aanutKin the use of the old forces temporarily while they were deciding between - men who should be confirmed and rejected. . . Assistant City Engineer Craig says lis will not leave the department until pending controversies have been exhausted and the department placed In good working condi tion again This means ha will remain an indefinite length of time. Insurgents Will Try Afe-ala. . Reports were current at the city hall that the councllmen unalterably opposed to City Engineer Rosewater would make an-' other effort Tuesday night to . elect . an engineer to contest with him In the courts for possession of the office. The failure to obtain one of the seven votes required spoiled this scheme two weeks ago. A can didate for tha place had been picked out In a young engineer named Stevenson, who has been state engineer of Idaho and Is a former resident of Omaha. Expert workmen in the sewer and asphalt branches, despairing of securing re-employ-mcnt by the city, are getting Jobs else where, and It is not thought likely they ' can be induced to enter the service again. It Is charged that councllmen have circu lated roports among ths employes that they would be certain to lose their placea and that even before the council failed to con firm the lists the seeds of dissatisfaction were sown. Because of the fine weather no aorlous damage haa yet been sustained by the city by the laying off of the sewer gangs. Eaemles Still at Work. The enemies of the municipal asphalt re pair plant are keeping Engineer Roaewater busy replying to statements that the plant has proved a failure. In the weekly edi tion of the Municipal Journal and Engineer of Auguat I this communication appears over his signature: I notice In your edition of July ft an ap parent apology for tke operation of the as Dhalt Dlant in Omaha, urjon the alleged grounds that the city engineer had Ills J nanus tun ana couin not give nis paving business as much time and attention aa It deserved. This doubtless was baaed upon industriously circulated reports from Inter ested parties to ths effect that the Omaha asphalt repair plant haa not given satisfac tion and that Ita abandonment was seriously considered. As a matter of fact the asphalt repair plant In the city of Omaha haa been pre eminently successful despite all the at tempts to prevent Its successful operation by Infusion of politics into its methods. These attempts have been utter failures and more extensive and better repaire have been made since its construction than ever before. " This year over M.ono yards of asphalt have been laid In ttie city with its plant at a cost of about 73 cents, to which should be added 10 cents to covr li per cent for In terest, taxes and maintenance of the plant, making the fair average cost of repairs about 81 oents, aa against from II 10 to tl to, the lowest prices for which such work had been done by contractors before the plant was Installed, and with the further advantage of having used from 16 to II per cent of bitumen In the mixtures In the flace of about 7 per cent; another ad van -age being that we have secured a lab oratory through which all materials and mixtures used by contractors are submitted to a test. The coat of maintenance of thia laboratory Is Included In the total coat of of asphalt repairs. WATCHES-Frenser, utb and Dodge. Mortality ttatlstlea.
