COSSACKS FLAG i U. S. SOLDIER [Continued from First Pnge.l —.— V leans, claiming they were not pro vided with identification papers. Cap tain Johns managed to escape, and, catching a moving train, went to Spasske, where he reported to the American officer in command. A de tachment of 150 Americans from the 27th regiment at once entrained and went to Iman to effect Sper ling's release and on arriving there took three Cossacks as hostage. Japs Make Threats They found General Kalmikoff's men entrenched near the station and were preparing to use force against j them when a Japanese major inter ceded for Cossacks, stating it is al leged, that In the event of hostilities between the Americans and Cos sacks, the Japanese troops will re main outside with the latter. A tele graphic demand for Sperling was sent to Khaborovsk, and a reply was received that he would be released at once. The Americans then re-, turned to Spasske, taking their host ages with them. A preliminary investigation of the incident shows, it is said, that Sper ling was flogged, a punishment that is usually meted out to a recalcitrant Cossack. General Kalmikoff, who is considered by Americans bore as a "Siberian Villa" has, with his band, been a constant source of trouble, it is charged, his raids being marked by atrocities. He was recently ap pointed military commander of the Khaborovsk district by General Roseanoff and it is alleged this has brought about an increase in his ac tivities. War Department in Ignorance of Reported Japanese Interference By .''Associated Press. Sept. 30— Secretary Baker said to-day that Major Genoi al Graves, commanding the Ameri can forces in Siberia, had informed the Department that an officer and enlisted men had been held by Cos sacks and releasd upon his demand, and that the matter had been refer red to the State Department "for sub sequent action." The deparment, Mr. Baker said, had not heard of the reported inter ference by a Japanese officer with American troops sent to affect the re lease of the enlisted men. "Department records," said the Sec reary, "only show that an officer and an enlisted man wer held by cos sacks and were released on the de mand of General Graves. "We have not heard of the Japa nese incident. The matter has b-'-n referre.d to the State Department for subsequent action."

LOCAL SURETY TO BE ENLARGED [Continued from First Page.] particulars of this important trans action: "The Pennsylvania Surety Com pany, of Harrisburg, is passing un der new control. The Harrisburg Trust Company, present owner of the stock, has made a contract for its sale to New York and Boston inter ests. The capital of the company will be immediately increased to $500,000 and the surplus to a like amount. Steps have already been taken to amend its charter so that it may write burglary insurance. .The business of the company will be con fined to fidelity, surety and burglary lines, and no additional lines are contemplated. After the increase in capital is completed, it is the inten tion of the company to apply for ad mission to New York and Massa chusetts and to open branch offices in each state. Branch offices will also be established at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh., K. H. Manning in Charge "The new interests have already arranged with experienced men for the home office. The underwriting management will be in charge of E H. Manning, now one of the princi pal bond underwriters at the home of fice of the Fidelity and Casualty Com pany, of New Y'ork, noted for its con servative business methods. Mr. Man ning is closely identified with the ntw interests. The agency director will be a man now prominently con nected with another company, who has had many years of agency and executive experience. The head of the burglary insurance department will be the present chief underwrit er in that department for one of the leading companies. Their names are not yet available for publication. "J. R. Henry, the present secre tary of the company, will be retain ed and will probably be elected a vice-president and treasurer. Ed ward Bailey, the president, will con tinue as a director and will have substantial holdings of stock. Other directors of the Harriv burg Trust Company, as individ uals, will be stockholders, and it is probable, also, that other .bankers in Harrisburg will be included in the directorate. A small amount of the stoek will probably be distributed among some of the banks of Penn sylvania known to the controlling in terests. Solid Company "The Pennsylvania Surety Company is a very substantial institution, but by reason of having operuted in a very limited territory, is compara tively little known. It was incorpor ated In 1905 and commenced business in December of that year with a cap ital of $250,000. It was organized by the owners of the Harrisburg Trust Company, Edward Bailey, a promi nent Central Pennsylvania financier, being president. It was organized to take care of local business in Pennsylvania in which the trust company might be interested finan cially or through personal affilia tion. While it has never done a large business, the risks assumed were first class, the losses and ex penses low and the investments prof itable. The company has paid $130,- 000 in dividends and built up a sur plus of approximately $360,000. It is a member of the Towner Rating Bu reau, and maintains ratps. It is qualified to execute bonds running to the United States. It is a highly esteemed member of the Surety As j sedation of America- Its officers and directors are men of high financial and business standing. "The ownership of the stock by the Trust Company has not been con ducive to expansion. There is only one other surety company in Penn sylvania, located at Pittsburgh. The directors of the Harrisburg Trust Ccmpany, recognizing the opportun ities for a large company to operate not only in Pennsylvania but in oth er states decided to relinquish the trust company's dominant ownership provided the new controlling interest would agree that the home office should remain in Harrisburg. and that the company Should continue primarily a Pennsylvania institution, that in expanding it should enter states whose business is desir able, that the management should seek quality rather than quantity of business and continue the conser vative underwriting policy which has prevailed in the past. Jn Healthy Condition "Early in September S. H. and Lee J. Wolfe, the New York actu aries, examined the company for its entire period of operation. They found it in healthy condition, with adequate reserves. "E. H. Manning, who will have the underwriting management, has had 20 years experience in the surety business. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland and a law yer. He became an underwriter in the judicial department of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Com pany. of Baltimore in 1899. In 1904. he went to the American Bonding Company, of Baltimore. Subsequent ly he was sent to Oklahoma and In dian Territories as joint attorney for that company and the Fidelity and Deposit Company to handle the thousands of claims which had aris en under Indian guardian bonds. This required several years. He remain ed in the West, representing a num ber of casualty and surety compan ies as attorney and as advisory un derwriter, until he was called to New York to become connected with the Fidelity and Casualty Company. For the past year no has devoted most of his time to developing the company's surety business in New England. He is a member of sev eral New York clubs and is a Mason in high standing." Luther League Is to * Meet at Mechanicsburg The second annual convention of the Harrisburg District Luther League will be held October 7, at St. Mark's Lutheran church, Me chanicsburg. The Re,v. P. George Fleiger, of Lancaster, will make the principal address at the last of the three sessions, which will take place in the evening. DKDICATE NEW HOME FOR BUREAU OF MINES Pittsburgh. Sept. 30. The new home here of the United States Bu reau of Mines, a group of buildings in the East End district, was dedi cated with an extensive program of exercises. Governor Sproul touched on the question of housing. He said he would make certain recommenda tions to the next Legislature which may be considered radical, but which he' believed would be most effective in giving workers more sanitary places to live In. "The State can compel action in this direction," ho said, "but we would rather have your co-operation."
