HUGHES MESSAGE
New York Governor Wants
New Insurance Law.
TO MANAGE DELINQUENT GO'S.
Says There Is Urgent Need of Giv
ing Power to the State to
Act Vigorously In Cases
' of Emergency.
Albany, N. Y March 0. Governor
Hughes scut to the legislature the first
special message of the present session,
in which he recommends amendments
to the Armstrong Insurance law so ms
to give the state superintendent of In
surance power to take possession of
the property and affairs of Insurance
companies when necessary to conserve
the Interests of policy holders.
In his messuKC the governor cites
the recent sale of the Washington Life
to the Plttsbu;g Life and the carrying
away of Its books to Pennsylvania. He
says:
The serious delays nnd enormous waste
connected with receiverships, both of
banking anil of Insurance corporations,
has directed attention to the advisability
of providing suitable means for econom
ical and speedy liquidation throiiRh the
agency of the respective state depait
ments. Not only Is It desirable to provide for
the economical and speedy liquidation of
Insolvent Institutions, but also to make
proper provision that the superintendent
of the appropriate department, where the
corporation Is delinquent or the Interests
of depositors or policy holders are in
jeopardy, may at once take possession of
the property of the corporation and us
sume charge of its affairs so that he may
be In a position to conserve Its assets and
take such steps as will prevent unneces
sary waste or spoliation.
Circumstances may make the exercise
of such a power of the greatest impor
tance to all parties In interest, even
though the Institution may be solvent,
and the exercise of such authority may
frequently save a corporation from ruin
and make easy the resumption of busi
ness under proper safeguards.
The protection which Is sought to be
given to our citizens by the supervisory
powers of the state department Is not
complete unless the superintendent Is In
a position In times of emergency at once
to take custody for purposes of conserva
tion, and ample authority for this pur
pose should bo afforded.
Certain recent transactions relating to
a long established nnd solvent life Insur
ance corporation have emphasized the
need of such legislation. All the assets
of the New York corporation appear to
be claimed under a reinsurance contract
by an insurance corporation of another
state. Legal proceedings have been In
stituted attacking the transaction In ques
tion, and a receivership has .been asked
for. In such a case It ought to be a sim
ple matter to secure proper custodial care
through the state department and to take
summary steps to protect the Interests of
the policy holders without recourse to a
receivership.
Power should be given to the superin
tendent of insurance to take charge of
Insurance corporations so situated. Pro
vision should also be made by which all
arrangements for the transfer of assets
from one Insurance company to another
with the design to bring about a prac
tical merger or to turn over the business
of the one corporation to the other should
require the approval of the superintend
ent of Insurance.
I therefore recommend that such legis
lation be enacted as will give to the su
perintendent of Insurance powers with re
spect to taking possession of the property
and affairs of Insurance corporations and
their liquidation, nnulagons to the powers
conferred last year upon the superintend
ent of banks.
In view of the Importance of the matter
I respectfully urge that It receive as ear
ly attention as may be possible.

BELL AERODROME FLIES.
Eight Miles In Less Than Twelve Min
utes Its Latest Feat.
Itaddeck, X. S., March I). Flying
eight miles In eleven minutes nnd fif
teen seconds, Douglas McCurdy in his
big aerodrome, the Silver Dart, estab
lished a n vv l cord in a series of
lllghts here under the general direction
nf Dr. Alexander Grnham Hell.
After four short flights, during
which the new fifty horsepower motor
nf the Silver Dart was found to be
working In splendid shape, Mr. Mc
Curdy decided upon a longer excur
sion. Starting from Dr. Bell's labora
tory, he flew to Stoney Island and
back, passing over Haddock harbor
both on the outward journey and In
returning.
Tho whir of the motor and the pro
peller blades of the new flying ma
chine, which Is of the aeroplano type,
as It passed over Baddcck attracted
the entire population out of doors, and
tho long flight of the Dart was wit
nessed by thousands of people.

Baltimore, March 0. Joseph M. Ja
ner, the wealthy Brooklyn man, Is In
a stnte of collapse on this the day of
his trial for abducting ten-year-old
Kathcrlua Loersch, the penalty for
which may be death under the Mary
land law.
The law gives him the choice of
being tried before a judge and Jury or
before three judges without a jury.
Knowing that there la a strong public
sentiment In favor of banging hltu,
Janlcr has elected to stand trial be
fore three judges.
Janer lives on the Income of his fa
ther's $500,000 estate. Little Kath
crlno Loersch, who for more than n
month has been at the House of the
(Sood Shepherd here, wll tell of her
leaving her Brooklyn home to come to
Baltlniotc wllh the rich neighbor,
whom she had come to know as Uncle
Too.
It Is Improbable (hat Mrs. Locrseh.
the girl's mother, will appear. Shortly
afler .laner's arrest' here she was In
jured by a fall In her Brooklyn home,
and It is said that she is still recuper

uuaiu ui
New oyU . March !.-'i he report of
the New ovk charter commission pro-
poses fundamental changes In he old
charier, and one recoinniendatlon Is
"that no person shall be eligible for
the ollice of mayor unless he shall
have been a resident of the city for
nt least ten years preceding his elec

large ordinance making powers, but
will have no control over the admin

borough presidents all administrative
functions. Instead of one large mayor
and live small ones there will be a
single executive. ..
The board of education will cease to
be a separate corporation nnd will lie
reduced to fifteen members. The ofllce

for any one to graft by taking ad-
vantage of the Ignorant Syrians, j

blcCLAIN'S WARNING.
Ex-peakcr -Says That Charitable
Appropriations' Are Running
Too High.
Ex-Speaker Frank McClain has made
a statement in which he called attention
to the heavy increase of appropriations
to local charities, those which are cither
private or partly so. He says that in
1877 such appropriations were but$135,
000. '"In 1887 this class of appropriations
amounted to $578,275; in 1897 to $1,702.
501, and in 1007 investigation discloses
that the State's benefactions to institu
tions not under its control nnd purely
locnl in character to the enormous sum
of $0,800,000, practically 50 times as
much as was appropriated in 1877. Of
tint annual appropriations in lt07t $),
400,000 wns for maintenance and $2,100.
000 was for buildings. The State rev
enues in .'10 years, from 1S77 to 1007,
multiplied n trifle over three-fold and
appropriations to institutions, with
which the Stnte has no direct concern,
have multiplied in the corresponding
time virtually fifty-fold. '
"These facts suggest that the time is
approaching, ifitliasnot already arrived,
when revenues must be increased or this
class of appropriations reduced. The
fixed charges of the State government
are naturally increasing with increase in
population and development, and it is
useless to talk of reduction in thisXdirec-
tion. The demand for public improve
ments good roads, etc. is becoming
more insistent in each succeeding session
of the general assembly, and good roads
and more money are synonymous terms
at the present time. The work of the
State Department of Health has so com
mended itself to the people of the Com
monwealth that on all "ides is beard the
cry, "make it broader."
"Unexpended balances, of appropria
tions made in 11)07 and a surplus of $2,-
000,000 may raise the revenues to $40,
uuu.uuu or JHi.iftxuou as ttie outsiue
figure that can be appropriated, $4,000,-
000 less than theappropriationsof 1907."
CITIZEN'S 5 MILE RACE
How to Train.
i
"iVor all who may contemplate entering
these races, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given a course of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon ns bis
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as soon ns be feels a pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower leg be
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun
dant. Omit tobacco, nil alcoholic liquors
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winter's stiffness out of the
muscles.
Further advice will be given from time
to time within the next few weeks.
For additional information, watch the
columns of this paper. In a few days
detailed announcement of the necessary
steps to enter will be made. In the
meantime those desiring to enter can do
so by communicating withTimCiTiZKN.
