These officers were elected by the Iowa
Association of Local Fire Insurance
Agents, . which held its second annual
meeting in this city yesterday:
President. W. F. Orandy, Sioux City,
vice president, H. W. Binder, Council
Bluffa; secretary-treasurer, George H.
Henderson, Waterloo.
These were elected delegates to tha na
tional convention to bo held in St. Paul:
R. F. Kauffman. Des Moines; J. II. Lute.
Mount Pleasant J. T. Christie, Dea Moines;
I. W. Beems, Harlan; H. W. Binder, Coun
cil Bluffs; O. F. Kcmmers. Red Oak; L. F.
Sample, Woodbine; J. M. Lynch. Sioux
City; E. H. Lougee. Council Bluffs; K. J.
Andrews, oioux i.iiy.
. Waterloo was chosen as the place for
tha convention next year, the date to be
left to the executive committee to deter
mine.
The morning session of the convention
was marked by two Important addresses.
the first by B. F. Kauffman of Des
Moines, the retiring president of the as
sociation, and the other by H. N. Kelsey
of Chicago, manager of the western de
partment of the Sun Insurance company
of London, England.
In his address Mr. Kauffman advocated
requiring each fire insurance company do
ing business In thV state of Iowa to fix
Independently and file with the auditor of
state at achedule of rates and to abide
by this schedule under penalty of fine
and forfeiture of license. In preface to
his demand for such legislation Mr.
Kauffman contended that Insurance rates
in the state of Iowa were In a demoral
ized condition and he cited several ex
amples of rates to support this assertion.
Mr. Kauffman also advocated a law
providing for the licensing of every fire
Insurance agent In the state, the license
fee to depend upon the population of the
town or city in which the agency was
located. Thla Mr. Kauffman contended
would prevent the establishment of numer
ous secondary agencies.
Mr. Kelsey took for the subject of his
address the enormity of the fire waste in
the United States during the last ten
years and Introduced a mass of statistics
In support of it. In order to t.how the Im
mense loss by fire he stated that In 1006
the cotton crop of the south, the largest
ever gathered In a single year, was valued
at 1600,000,000, but It amounted In money
to less than half the losses paid by in
surance companies during the last ten
years. He commended the report of B. F.
Carroll, auditor of state. In that It called
attention to the need of effective meas
ures in reducing loss by fire. The speaker
advocated laws regulating the construction
of buildings, limiting their height and area
with reference to the adequacy of the fire
departments and the sufficiency of water
supplies. He took a stand 'against certain
existing anti-compact laws, which he
claimed prohibited agents from combining
to make uniform rates or to prevent dls
crimination.
The suggestions as to legislation made
by the two speakers were later In the day
referred to tho standing committee on
legislation.
Mayor Thomas Maloney delivered the ad
dress of welcome and John I. Luti wel
comed the visitors on behalf of tho local
agents. Robert B. Wallace of this city
made a short address. In which he empha
slsed the dignity of the business of the
fire insurance agent.
The convention was welt attended, there
being about seventy members from the
various cities and towns of the state pres
ent.
At tha afternoon session, which was de
voted entirely to business, In addition to
the election of officers, these standing com
mittees were named:
Executive Committee Officers and B. F.
Kauffman, Des Moines; W. A. Scherfe,
Fort Madison; James K. Grant, Boone; J

August Beckman, a laborer employed
about, the grounds of the local paasenger
depot of the Northwestern railroad, was
struck by the Incoming Chicago fast mail
about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The
wheels of the locomotive passed over both
legs, cutting one off above the ankle and
crushing the other so that it had to be
amputated.
He was removed to Mercy hospital, where
laat night it was stated he had a good
chance for' surviving his injuries.
Beckman Is a brother of Louis Beckman,
another employe of the same railroad, who
waa killed a few months ago at the Avenue
D croealng. Another brother, John Beck
man, is also employed as a section hand
by the Northwestern. The injured man had
been living recently at the Union City
mission.
Bnby ' Left On Doorstep.
A baby, apparently about 8 montha old,
was left on the front porch ef the repldence
of Rufus E. Day, a Northwestern switch
man, at 816 Avenue C, laat evening during
the abaenco of the family. The attention
of the neighbors waa attracted to tne in
fant by its cries and the little one was
taken Into the home of Deputy State Oil
Inspector Hardcll and the police were
notified. The baby was fairly well ctnthed
and waa wrapped in a shawl. A bottle of
milk was left alongside of the little one.
Borne of the neighbors reported Seeing a
man running from tha Day residence down
the alley. Captain Chafer of the polloe
force took the baby to the Christian Home,
where It will be cared for at least for tha
present.

DUNKERS DODGEDRESS ISSUE
Question Indefinitely Postponed Des
pite A a ruber of Modern Hale
Worn by Wemra Present.
DES MOINES, la Juno 12-Strlvlng to
maintain peace and unity In the Church
of the Brethren, the presiding elder and
members of the standing committee re
fused yesterday to discuss the all-Important
question of radical changes in dress, which
has threatened to Jar the foundations of the
church to the extent of causing a serious
split. Brought up in the order of new
business at the meeting of the conference
today, the question was indefinitely post
poned, scoring a distinct triumph for tha
dissenting members of the sect.
The goodly sprinkling of merry widow
hats and toques and bonnets, all of a de
cidedly gay coloring, failed to spur tha
sedate elders to a discussion of the ques
tion and the matter was held over until the
next annual conference.
It. is predicted by younger Dunkers, and
by some of the older ones, that the passing
over of the hat question today will be fol
lowed by the gradual disappearance ef tha
bonnet and tle general resort by younger
people of thf sect to the conventional
styles of thJ non-Dunkers. This trans
formation ha banished the "regulation"
hat, ones adopted for the Dunker men.
Instead of bringing up matters which
might cause a split In the church, there
was a general effort today to maintain
harmony even to the extent of giving in
to tha dissenters on many cherished ques
tions of church policy. The proposal to
make advances to the factions which have
severed themselves from the church in the
past was voted upon and an effort will be
made to bring the dissenting brethren back
to the fold. The factions, which are known
as the Older Brethren, the Conservatives
and the Progressives, will be asked to re
unite with the main body.
Thousands of Dunkers left the grounds
before the met ling adjourned at noon. This
is the last day of the conference and al
though a few questions came up for final
dlapoaitlon this afternoon, they were not
of sufficient interest to hold the churchmen
longer away from their homes. In point
of attendance and finance this year's con
ference has been the most successful In the
hlBtory oV the church. Last Sunday, the
biggest day, more than 20,000 persons were
on the grounds, an unprecedented attend
ance The proceeds of the meeting, which will
be devoted to the general maintenance of
the church and missionary work, will
reach $100,000.

IOWA FALLS, la.. June 12. (Special.)
Retrenchment and reform with a big "R"
has struck this division of the Chicago A
Northwestern railway and as a result
agents are doing a whole lot of stunts not
down on the schedule of the men In the
blue uniforms and brass buttons. The or
der tuskes a big killing and aees the aban
donment of the telegraph instruments and
the substitution of the telephone for agents
to assist In the movement of trains. Theae
change are particularly true at Iowa Fall
and Etdora, the principal ahipplng point of
tb division. The salaries vf th agent
like ; to tickle ! the palate? occasiox
have been reduced and they are denied the
services of helpers heretofore allowed at
these points. The result Is that agents
at these places are required to do mire
work at less pay. It la. stated that the
abandonment of the telegraph instruments
Is due to an agreement with the telegra
phers' union, this action enabling the rail
road company to evade a provision made
with the telegrapher' organization.

awaiting the action of the parent lodge on
the question of relation between the two
orders before they proceed further In the
work of the convention. The delegates
have a new constitution, which la to be

prevent a recurrence of soft tracks, slide
and similar annoyances. It will require
a large expenditure of money and give
work to a large force of men.
