It will be noted that the United States
continues to lead the old world In the
per capita loss; It should also be noted
that Canada's large cities lead those ot
this country by 12 and that one city In
Argentina, presumably Duenos Aires, has
the high per capita record, 13.5S.
An almost unbelleveable record In the
report Is that from Dresden to Germany,
city of 661,000 people, with a total
fire loss In 1912 of lt,800 or only Sc. per
capita.
In the recent awakening of the public
to the growing business of incendiarism
for profit, authortles showed that from
25 to 40 per cent of the fires In the large
cities of the United .States were dua to
greed for Insurance money. The so-called
'Arson trust" raided In New York and
Chicago resulted In several convictions In
both cities. As a result of the vigorous
prosecution, there has been noted a
marked decrease In the number of In
cendiary fires reported, nut nothing has
been done to remove the main Incen
tive to tncendarlsm, namuly, over In
surance.

Officials of the city hall said yesterday
that It was time for the city council to
retain tho expert auditor, who according
to the law must examine the boks of the
city every year. City Treasurer Martin
and City Clerk Wheeler are anxious
that the auditor begin his w-rk without
delay. The charter provides that a sum
not In excess of 500 be spent for tho
services of an expert accountant and
auditor, who must live without the state.

Rev. T. A. Bagshaw has severed his

more than a year, when he came from an
Omaha charge. During his stay In this

City Treasurer P. J. Martin has reduced
his office force and will hereafter fill the
place formerly occupied by Charles Mol
arity, who resigned the first of the month
to become cennected with an Omaha con
cern. The extra 1100 which the county
has provided for the one who fills the
work of the deputy county treasurer In
South Omaha will be distributed by
Treasurer Martin between himself and the
rest of his office force. The salaries paid
some of the clerks In his office are small,
and while Treasurer Martin will not ask
the city to Increase the salaries, he will
divide the amount given him by -the
county for his services aa deputy county
treasurer In South Omaha so as to In
crease the salaries of the clerks to a re
spectable amount
Waltlusr for Doable Shift.
Who Is to blame for the delay In the
appointment of the new men who are
to constitute the double shirt of the fire
department and the new men who are
applicants for vacant places on the police
force T For some time It has been given
out that Mayor lloctor has been the
cause of the delay. Ills honor now says
that he has been ready and willing to do
his share of the appointing for nome
time, but hints that the other members
of the board were not as anxious.
The other members of the board have
stated that they were prepared time and
again to do their share of the work, but
that the mayor was always absent. In
the meantime, about 100 applicants are
getting madder every day. It is under
stood that the mayor Id going to seek the
ass. stance of the council In dividing the
fire and police fund so that there will be
so much for salaries and so much for
maintenance. In this way his honor says
he expects to prevent ovarian

Regulations for
Liability Insurance
Companies
The action of William T. Emmet, state
superintendent of insurance of New York,
on the question of more careful business
methods in liability Insurance is regarded
by Insuranco managers as one of tho
most Important orders made in late years
on Insurance matters.
As the New York companies are doing
business In almost every state In the
union, tho effect of tho order will reach
all over the country. It Is said here that
the order will result In tho contraction of
the business Into fewer hands and It will
mean a survival of the fittest managers
and agencies.
Tho companies are given until October
1 to comply with the order.
The New Yprk Journal of Commerce
ond Commercial Bulletin, In a resume of
the order, says:
"Tho superintendent gave formal direc
tions to the casualty companies writing
liability or workmen's compensation in
surance that by October 1 they must put
In force reforms which will eliminate the
present method of competitive rate mak
ing and reduce to a limit of 20 per cent
the total .acquisition expense of the busi
ness. Thesa mandates by the New York
Insurance department are more Impor
tant because they are to be applied to
all the companies' workmen's compensa
tion and lability Insuianco business
throughout the country.
"Superintendent Emmet made this nub-
Ject a matter ot conference with tho in
surance commissioners of cither states,
both by letter and In person at the Hur-
Hngton convention, and was assured of
tho hearty co-operation of practically
every stato official. The New York de
partment further requires that the com
panies file with the department by Octo
ber 1 a schedule showing tholr liability
and compensation tatcs in offict from
that date; a schedule of rates of commls
slons to brokers and ugents effective from
that date, and also a schedule giving a
synopsis of all branch ptflco and agency
contracts which provide compensation for
salaries or allowances In addition to com
mission. The department further re
quires a statement showing what steps
have been taken toward mlnlmlring ad
ministration expenses."

Payment of Policy
Revived After Death
An allegation that another man on the
day following the accidental death of
John 8, Owens. October 24 of last year,
represented himself to be Owens, altvo
nnd well, and paid a premium on an ac
cident Insurance policy which tho dead
man had allowed to lnpse, Is contained
In a petition filed In district court by
the Travelers' Insurance company.
I.ast July Mrs. Henrietta Owens, the
widow, started a suit to collect W.000 for
the death of her husband, who was killed
by a street car. The plaintiff company
Is now asking that the policy bo held void
nnd that Mrs. Owens be enjoined from
attempting to collect Its face value.
The company alleges that Owons' policy
lapsed Bcptcmbcr 29, 1912, and that he
was killed October 24. On the day after
his death, It Is alleged, tho impersonator
came to the company's office, declared
that he was Owens and was In good
health, paid the premium which was due
and had the policy reinstated.
BURGLARS TRY THREE
TIMES TO ROB OFFICE
Three times within os many weeks
hnvo burglars attempted to break Into
the offices of the National l.lfo Insurance
company In the Puxton block, nnd In each
Instance they wcie frightened away by
burglar nlarm attachments,
According to J. V. Btnrrett, general
agont of the company In Omaha, the per
sistent attempts to rob his office are duo
to tho great value of the National Life
polic es. However, ho asserts It would
bo cheaper to buy one, due to the largo
returns on dividends.
Inmirnnee Nfltra.
A new law In Wisconsin provides that
the unearned premium of a fire Insur
ance policy shall be held In trust by the
company for tho Insured, unless other
wise specified by endorsement on the pol
icy. Governor Major of Missouri announces
that ho will not be able to appoint his
commission to frame nn up-to-date code
of insurance laws until tho early days of
October, owing to tho absence from the
state on vacations of many men with
whom he wishes to confer.
No. 1. Volume I, of tho Missouri Iu
surance Itulletln has been Issued by tho
Missouri Insurance department, Its pur
pose being to arouse tho publto to the pre
ventable fire waste of the state und to
tho Importance of reducing It. It In
cludes statistics as to the causes of fires
reported In the Btate, with helpful sug
gestions of fire prevention mothods.
Judge May of the Cincinnati courts has
decided that fire Insurance docs not come
within the scopo of the Valentine anti
trust law. In consequence he sustained
the demurrer filed by the companies In
tho suit ot Minnie Foster, lessee ot the
Blymor building, seeking $21, SM damages
because she had been unable to placo the
Insurance at a rate lower than that fixed
by the flro prevention bureau and the
Cincinnati Underwriters' association.

tically two entire staffs resigned from

of age the day before ho wns retired.
Colonel Gardiner la well known In
Omaha and was one of the most popular
officers ever stationed at the Fort Crook
post. Durlnit his five-year itay at th
fort he received many compliments for
ability In drilling his regiment., Re
treated his officers with more than ordi
nary kindness, which made his soldiers
put out special efforts whenever he Have
a command. The Interurban line was In
stalled durlnit the fve years Colonel
Oardlner commanded at Fort Crook and
many Omnha people took the trip to see
the dress parades.
Colonel Gardiner waa born in the prov
ince ot Zeeland, ,ln Holland, In 1S49. Re
came to America when a boy and was
enrolled In Rope college, which Is located
at Holland, Mich. Re graduated In 1867
at the age of 18 years. He then entered
the United States Military academy In
1803 and graduated four years later. While
In college and at West Point he made an
enviable record as a scholar.
Appointed n I.lcii I rnnnt.
After graduation he was appointed to a
lieutenancy In one of the regiments then
stationed on the Indian frontier. He was
with the regiment which captured the
famous Indian chief, Dullknlfe, In a bat
tle In Nebraska In 1879.
In 1SW he wns commissioned by Presi
dent McKlnley to muster a regiment nt
Fort Sheridan, Illinois, for the purpose of
taking part In the Spanish-American war.
Re fought under Oeneral Schwan during
the entire conflict. He was appointed
governor general at tho conclusion of the
war and was the most popular governor
the province ever had. fio great waa their
belief In his ability and so great was
their friendship for him, the people of
Humar expressed a desire to erect a
monument In honor of lihn, but he ad
vised them to wait until his death before
they constructed It
It was the hope of his friends that he
would receive a brigadier general's com
mission before his retirement, but the
superfluity of colonels, who have been
In tho service a long time and have dis
tinguished themselves on tho battle field
i and elsewhere, madn It Impossible for the
i War department to gratify the ambitions
J of his friends. It Is not, however, any
reflection on his ability that he was re
tired a colonel.
