TELLS COMMISSION OF EILLS Underwriter Declares Courts Would Bar Blacklist. INCENDIARY SUSPECTS To Restrict tho "Farming Out" Among Foreign Companies of Insurance Written on Pennsylvania. Properties. Harrlsburg. Although united action of Insurance companies In forming a "blacklist" of all persons suspected of arson and Incendiaries, In connec tion with the collection of claims, would be desirable, such a combination could be fought In the courts as a conspiracy. This, In substance, was the testimony of W. B. Flielilnger, of Erie, general agent of tho western department of tho Philadelphia Un derwriters, beforo the State Insuranco Commission. ( He said that In the conduct of his own business, he lists the suspects on the report of tho adjuster who settles the claims, but that the ex change of such Information between companies Is not favorably looked upon by the courts. Mr. Flicklnger said the element of "moral hazard" that Is, of Incendiaries and arson, In large measure,, was due to over-Insurance. "The moral hazard," Mr. Flicklnger said, "arises from the fact that peo ple are able to collect Insurance and make a profit on the deal. Over-Insurance is the most difficult evil we have to contend with. It Is due to unscrupulous agents who give Inflated Values on personal property." State legislation to restrict the "farming out" among foreign com panies of Insurance written on Penn sylvania properties, was advocated by Henry M. Gratz, president of the GI rard Fire & Marine Insurance Com pany. "Local companies pay taxes and em ploy labor," Mr. Gratz said. "Is It right 1 that large foreign companies should derive benefit from this?" In outlining his plan further. Mr. Gratz advocated a list of admitted compan ies, which, he suggested, should be allowed to write local Insurance. Things look to me as if we are com ing to the day shortly," be added, "when the little companies will prac tically be driven out of business by the aggressions of the gigantic corpora tions. Why give the little fellows a chance." May Keep Auto Money Off Roads. Counsel for State Treasurer Robert K. Young and Auditor General A. W. Powell gave notice in filing the appeal to the Suprome Court from the decis ion of Judges McCarrell and Henry, upholding the constitutionality of the automobile license fee case that they would ask a supersedas to prevent any of the license money for maintenance of State highways. Dy this action the two fiscal officials came right Into the open with a move to block any work being done on the badly run down highways about which there has been so much complaint. When one of the cases was being argued At torney General John C. Bell Invited M. Hampton Todd, former Attorney Ceneral and counsel for Young, to argue the constitutionality of the act, but he declined. This Indicated an Intention to block, It was asserted, which the Judges upset by passing on the constitutionality. When the appeal was filed by Thomas H. C, Richton, cashier of the Treasury, and C. J. Rogers, Jr., chief of accounts of the Auditor General, who are counsel; they gave notice of Intention to apply for a supersedeas. The Attorney Gen- eral's department announced that It would combat that move because it would continue the holdup of road re- . pairs by depriving the Highway De partment of the money paid by auto- mobile owners and Intended by the Legislature to be spent in mainte nance. Amondments Must Be Advertised Attorney General Bell has given an opinion to Secretary of the Common wealth McAfee, In which he informs him it Is his duty to advertise two apparently conflicting proposed amend ments to the Constitution. The pro posed amendments relate to the debt limit of Philadelphia. ' In his opinion the Attorney Gen eral says: 'It Bems obvious that if both of these amendments should be finally adopted by the people at the same time it would be somewhat dif ficult to determine Just what the peo pie intended to provide In their Con stitutlon with reference to the power of the city and county of Philadelphia to become Indebted. The apprehend ed confusion and difficulty, however, Is a matter for the consideration in the first place of the members of the House and Senate at the legislative cession of 1915."

Daniels Announcement Significant. WILL STAY INDEFINITE TIME After the Atlantic Fleet Passes Through the Panama Canal At the Official Opening It Will Re main On the Coast Washington, D. C Secretary of the Navy Daniels announced that after the Atlantic fleet of 20 battleships and many smaller craft passes through the Panama Canal next March on Its way to the Panama Exposition, It will re main In Paciflo waters for a long time. While the present plans are more or less vague, it Is known that the fleet Is expected to maneuvre in Puget Bound and cruise generally up and down the coasts of California, Wash ington and Oregon. It has not as yet been decided to send the fleet as far West as the Hawaiian Islands, though tho Navy Department does not say positively that such a cruise will not be taken. The announcement of Mr. Daniels Is particularly lntoresting Just now for two reasons. The fighting flqot In the Pacific Is already far strongor than ever it has been before, and that adds to the significance of furtbor strength ening It with the bulk of the floating armament of the United States for an Indefinite period. And this reinforce ment will come at a time when the re newed correspondence between the United States and Japan may be ex pected to have reached a definite de velopment. Both Sides Firm. Ono chapter of this correspondence, which showed unyielding firmness on both sides, closed with the publication bere and In Tokio of the notes to date. The second chapter was opened In reality the day before by tho sending of Mr. Bryan's reply to the last Japanese communication, received at the De partment of State on June 10, from the Japanese foreign minister, Baron Kato. In that communication Baron Kato Intimated that he would be pleased to have an answer to the Japanese note of August 26, 1913. In his- note of June 23 it is understood that Mr. Bryan refers to the Japanese note of August 26 merely enough to suggest that Japan bring forward the other aspects of the subject to which veiled reference was made by the Japanese Ambassador. At that point Mr. Bryan rest hia case, leaving tho next move entirely to the Imperial Government. Mr. Bryan has intimated that his last note may be made public next week. As a Gentle Hint. It Is not expected, of course, that the California controversy, which in Its most recent stages, was little more than an academic discussion for pur poses of record, will reach a point where the presence of the fleet In the Pacific will be a necessity. But it Is believed that Mr. Daniels' announce ment of his plans on the day following the publication of the Japanese corre spondence may be Intended as a gentle hint of the firmness of the United States In the correspondence. It is known that news of Mr. Daniels' an nouncement has already been unoffi cially cabled to Japan. NEW RESERVE BANKS DELAYED. May Not Be Ready For Organization Before September 1. Washington. D.
