ALL-NIGHT CAUCUS HELD IN THE
HOPE OF DEFEATING ADVANCE
OF THE STEAM ROLLER.
By LEO LA ALLAR1).
International npws Service.
NEW YORK, May 26.—There was a
special and a secret meeting held last
night at the Hotel Astor in New York,
where the biennial convention of women's
clubs is holding forth. Those attending
were the presidents of States opposed to
what they call the domination of a few nr
this convention, and it was noticeable that
the president of South Carolina was not
there. "South Carolina and the board
wants to run this thing," said a president
death to the lllinoisans. "They should
be stopped."
The Chicago Woman's Club headquar-
ters was the meeting place. It was get
ting daylight when the State presidents
adjourned, but the Illinois delegation was
the first in place in the Armory at the
morning session.
Mrs. George W. Plummer rose to a point
of order. She asked if the revisions might
not be taken up. Mrs. Percy V. Penny-
backer, the president, arose and said some-
thing about the inconvenience it would
cause the assemblage, and before the down-
hearted lllinoisans could catch their breath
Mrs. Pennybacker had invited the chorus
leader to start singing the morning hymn,
"Joy to the World."
The faces of Mrs. George Bass, Mrs.
Charles Zimmerman. Illinois' president,
and some of the others who had gone there
early to try to get what they wanted,
were studies. Now report says that a
caucus will be called very soon to con-
sider what shall be done to prevent the
steam roller (the word is in every mouth)
from crushing the life out of all of the
delegates' hopes.
"Mrs. Pennybacker says she stands for
the increased number in the board—a di-
rector from every State. If she does why
doesn't she let us get at this revision busi-
ness: said a president who doesn't dare
be quoted. "Politics, that's the keynote.
There are twenty-eight States already de-
clared in favor of the fifty directors."
A petition has been prepared by the
presidents who held last night's indigna-
tion meeting, and is to be sent at once
to Mrs. Pennybacker asking that the re-
visions be brought up each morning.
Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the
l Diversity of Minnesota, todav told the
clubwomen that home life is going out
of fashion. That it is dangerous. Then
with a sarcastic emphasis he pounded the
table and announced : "What you women
should do is to socialize your homes—
whatever that is."
"It isn't fashionable to have a home—
especially a detached house. That's dis-
grace! ul! The neighbors have all moved
into apartment houses, so you must do it.
And how on earth can we have any loyalty
to the big community interests when we
are devoting our time to our homes'.' As
a matter of fact all privacy and family
intimacy is being sacrificed. The home
must disappear.
"What we need is industrial prepared-
ness as well as military preparedness. We
are fond of calling ourselves a moral peo-
ple. 1 he only credentials that give a na-
tion the right to call itself that, are its
devotions to the service of mankind.
"ihe occupations of women in their
homes should be recognized as professional
service. I he .young are benefited more at
the family table than at all of the schools
in the country. That is where personality
s developed. Home making should be
looked at in idealistic fashion. It is in
itself an art. The protection of our food,
our children, and our women, is the task
of the Nation.
"In all of the universities of the Middle
" est there are economic departments.
There are Hio of them in high schools of
Minnesota. It's bad form socially in
the West these days for girls to have
their graduation gowns made. They make
them themselves as cheaply and as prettily
as possible. You women your contribu-
tion to National life is home-making. The
wife should not be a drudge, but have
some leisure to get out and live the life
of the community so as to inspire her fam-
ily when she comes home."
Mrs. Charles H. Zimmerman, president
of the Illinois State Federation, told wom-
en at tonight's session that the Illinois
HEAVY LOSSES AT GALVESTON
INDUCE THEM TO LOOK FOR
NEW SHIPPING POINT.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH, Tex., May 26..—Echoes
of the last summers Galveston storm were
reflected in the Friday afternoon's session
of the Texas Grain Dealers' Association
indicating an attempt by the Panhandle
grain men in conjunction with the Texas
Grain Dealers' Association to make the
port of New Orleans 'the concentration
point for Texas export grain Instead of
the Texas port of Galveston.
This developed shortly after the close
of the round table discussion and Just
before adjournment, in the form of a set
of resolutions proposed by the Panhandle
Grain Dealers' Association asking the Tex-
as organization to petition the Interstate
Commerce Commission to give relief to
the shippers of commodities from Texas
by making the export rate from Texas
points to New Orleans conform to domestic
rates from Texas points to Galveston.
The reasons set forth cite the fact that
there have been three great storms in
Galveston in the past fifteen years, caus-
ing a great loss of property in freight
and cars at Galveston in the last storm,
and also declaring that the railroad com-
wonien represented at this convention out-
number tlie I nited States Army.
1 lie methods of the present administra-
tion having so upset the precedents, it is
said Mrs. Cowles' campaign has been in-
jured and that those in favor of Mrs.
George Bass for president are springing
up like mushrooms. Today Mrs. Bass
was talked of in every quarter and some
States are rumored to have already de-
cided to endorse her.

nanles entering Galveston are denying
liabilities for damage to goods in the
last August floods which were 011 their
tracks at that time.
An attempt to clear up the situation
by a joint meeting of Panhandle grain
men and Santa Fe officials who promised
to make the port of Galveston as safe as
New Orleans for their shippers by the
elevation of grain car tracks above the
danger level of the recent storm appar-
ently failed of success to any appreciable
extent.
F. G. Pettibone, vice president and gen-
eral manager of the Santa Fe; .1 H
Keffe, assistant general manager; \V. K.
Maxson, general superintendent, ami J.
E. Hershey, general freight agent., all of
Galveston; K. E. Taylor, superintendent at
Cleburne; H. I». Butts, In charge of grain
at Galveston, and W. L. M< Whirter, di-
vision freight agent at Fort Worth, were
the Santa Fe men who met the two score
or so of Panhandle grain men.
The promise of the Santa Fe was con-
cisely made by Vice President Pettibone,
who declared that his line would raise its
grain tracks to a level above the danger
mark of the past storm and build a per-
manent pridge. making the port of Galves-
ton as far as his line was concerned as
safe as that of New Orleans.
J. Si. Beasley of Amarillo, chief spokes-
man for the Panhandle men. asked if he
would make a blanket guarantee to make
the port safe by guaranteeing storm lia-
bility In the future for that port, and to
this* demand Mr. Pettibone declined to
consent, stating that no line in the United
States would do so.
Declaring that the grain men wanted
safety and that he felt Galveston was not
as safe as New Orleans, Mr. Reasley de-
clared that they would make an attempt
to get the rate adjusted.
J. K. Hershey, general freight agent of
the Santa Fe stated that they would not
get such an adjustment in rates from the
Interstate Commerce Commission, which
he said had recently fixed the Oklahoma
rates as 29 cents to New Orleans and
24 cents to Galveston, while the Panhandle
was considerably further from New Or-
leans than Oklahoma points.
Mr. Pettibone stated that a large part
of the work at Galveston would be com-
pleted by fall.
The meeting broke up without action
and it is probable that the resolution will
be reported by the committee which has
it in charge Saturday. It is the opinion
of the leading Panhandle men that the In-
terstate Commerce Commission will be pe-
titioned for the rate to New Orleans.
Three changes in the trade rules of the
Texas Grain Dealers' Association were in-
cluded in the same set of resolutions by
the Panhandle Grain Dealers' Association.
Secretary H. B. Dorsey postponed hia
report until the afternoon session. At that
time he stated that the association has 233
members, the largest it had ever enjoyed,
and the total net cash on hand was $1,522,
The visitors were entertained Friday
night at 7:30 o'clock with a banquet in the
form of a barbecue lunch supper.

A! STIN. Tex , May 26. Argument and
testimony on the application of the fire
insurance companies for a horizontal In-
crease in rates of \ \\ per cent continued
today before the Texas Fire Insurance
( ommission. The hearing is to be re-
sumed tomorrow morning.
A. J. Filers, wholesaler of Austin, par-
tially completed a statement in which he
criticized the insurance companies' over-
head expense of 40 per cent of the gross
premiums. He said no other business had
such expense. This caused Assistant At-
torney (General C. M. Cureton, who is
assisting the commission at its urgent in-
vitation. to analyze the expense of the dry
goods business. Answering him, Mr. Fil-
ers said the wholesale expense Is about 10
per cent, manufacturers' expense 15 per
cent and retailers' 10 per cent, or a total
of 35 per cent.
1. Jalonlck of the Austin, International
and Commonwealth Fire Companies of
Dallas, dissected 40 per cent expense load
of fire companies, saying 10 per cent is
devoted to taxes, postage, advertising and
general office work, and 10 per cent to
agents who get the business. His com-
pany pays 15, 20 and 2." per cent commis-
sions to agents, it being an extra commis-
sion company based on the desirability of
the risk written.
Mr. Jalonlck. answering William Thomp-
son. attorney for the companies, said it
was true that his companies do not write
certain lines, such as cross-roads stores,
tiie effort being to get the profitable busi-
ness.
Answering Mr. Thompson, witness said
it was true Texas companies paid less
gross premium tax than tlie outsiue compa-
nies because they comply with the law re-
quiring the tax where one-half of the as-
sets are Invested In Texas securities. How-
ever, he claimed an offset on the ad va-
lorem tax his companies pay the county
and State in Dallas County which the out
side companies do not.
W. J. Edgecombe, secretary of the Texas
Retail Merchant's Association, suggested
that the companies add to their surplus
and assets annually to take care of con-
flagrations, and should not ask for raises
In such a lump.
Commissioner Patterson asked if expense
could not be saved by joint Inspections
and, companies exchanging data. Mr. Jal-
onlck said this was held as violation of
the anti trust laws, though he would like
to see it done if there were no legal ob-
jections.
Commissioner Patterson and Mr. Jalonlck
agreed that a better and cheaper plan
than inspections would be for applicants
for insurance to make statements in ad-
vance showing value of premises, of stock
carried, of insurance In force and the
amount of money owed. "Make it a war-
ranty," said Mr. Jalonlck.
The fire loss In Germany Is about 3fi or
40 cents per capita, against $2.50 here,
said Mr Jalonlck, due to the excellent
laws there. He said a manufacturer must
answer 116 questions when applying for
insurance, and the agent answer 105 ques-
tions In the same transaction. Some of
these questions were quoted to show tilie
thoroughness of the system and action of
the police where anything is suspicious, "If
the factory or any part of It Is destroyed
the insurance money must be put back In
it." asserted Mr. Jalonlck, "Instead of be-
ing used to buy an automobile." (Laugh-
ter.)^
"Now. to be neutral, 1 must quote some
of the English requirements to get Insur-
ance" (laughter),, and Mr. Jalonlck Illus-
trated the protection there.
Adopt the German code or English sys-
tem. advocated Mr. Jalo'ii k, and get re-
sults.
Mr. Thompson—Well, but the merchants
could give you false answers.
Mr. Edgecombe Do you consider the
average merchant a good or a bad moral
risk ?
Mr. Jalonlck (»ood.
It was generally conceded that the com-
panies would like to see the laws amended
to require complete answers from appli-
cants for Insurance showing their finan-
cial condition, etc.
Another feature discussed was the pen-
alty to be Imposed In arson or negligent
cases. One was to make the guilty person
liable for other property destroyed by the
fire he starts wilfully or negligently.
"Turn the damage suit lawyers loose on
the firebugs," Interposed Assistant Attor
ne.v General Cureton. He added that un-
der the present law a man Is responsible
for damages caused by fire if negligently
or maliciously started.
Louis Mayer, retailer of Beaumont, vig-
orously protested against a flat Increase.
He recited large amounts spent for mod-
em fire apparatus, paved streets. Improved
waterworks, etc., and said now the com-
panies propose to raise the rates. lie
criticized the expense load of 40 per cent.
Beaumont had not secured good fire rec-
ord allowance because the local agents,
he charged, will not supply the amount of
local premiums collected.
Vernon Hall, manager for Blair, Hughes
& Co., Dallas, strongly objected to a hori-
zontal Increase, saying It would cause their
customers to cut down their Insurance—
a serious matter to the wholesaler. He
praised the fire rating law as wise He
advocated penalizing the deficient risk and
not making advances on the good risks.
Each risk should stand on its own bottom.
Mr. Hall declared that the "valued policy
law" should be repealed, as It Incites arson,
and also erase the anti-technicality law.
They are used to collect dishonest claims,
he said. There Is nothing unfair In the
present standard fire policy.
H. F. Magee. chief of the Dallas fire
department, said Dallas has $600,000 in-
vested In Its fire department; it has forty-
three pieces of apparatus in service with
170 full-paid men and spends $200,000 an-
nually on the department. "And just now
the various cities and towns are in a race
to vastly Improve their fire protection,
but to Increase the rates In face of these
Improvements would stop them and citizens
would object to spending money for the
fire department, paved streets and modern
water supply machinery. It would be a
great mistake," asserted the chief. "The
greater the department expense and the
more apparatus the higher the rates, It
seems." commented Chief Magee. He said
the number of fires ill Dallas increased, but
the loss decreased. The chief opposed
shingle roofs and advocated an ordinance
forbidding their use.
(J. F. Zimmerman of William Cameron
Lumber Company, Waco, defended Shingle
roofs as safer than the so called combus-
tible roofing Many questions were put
to him He said corrugated iron and tin
are so high as to be prohibitive. New
Brannfels was cited to him as an antl-
shingle roof town with few losses, with
Paris a contrast. He disputed the fact
that the Paris fire was caused by shingle
roofs He branded the anti-shingle talk
as a campaign by the patent or substitute
roofing material men
C. M. Abney, Marshall Councilman, stren-
uously opposed an advance, averring that
the Insurance rates are now too high. "As
fast as we spend our money improving
the waterworks, fire department and paved
streets, the insurance rates go up instead
of down."
Qninn Morton, assistant secretary of the
Galveston Commercial Association, read the
association's resolution opposing rate In-
creases and supplemented it by advocating
an increase in the deficiency charges on
individual risks rather than a flat raise
A. H. Britton, Mayor of Wichita Falls,
earnestlv protested against any increase,
citing t)ie large expenditures to improve
local conditions and saying the companies
made money in his town. "We have spent
money to cut down the key rate and de-
crease the hazards so as to reduce our
insurance charges, and now the companies
are seeking to get it back some other way,
and we are against It."

Farmers of Rio Grande Country Are
Troubled With New Kind
of Pest.
'Ihe Express Austin Bureau.
ALSTIN. Tex., May 26.—White pigeons
in the Rio Grande country are damaging
crops very materially, according to reports
that have reached the State Game, Fish
and Oyster Department. The pigeons, it
is claimed, come into Texas from the Rio
Grande country, where It Is almost Impos-
sible for them to secure food, and destroy
the milo maize, Kafir corn and other
crops.
Some question has been raised by the
farmers in {hat section as to their rights
under the law to kill the white pigeon. Al-
though no official ruling is given out by
the Game Department, it is known that
there is a provision in the State game
laws that makes it lawful'to kill any bird
or animal that is destroying crops or
working damage on growing crops. It is
not likely that in instances where the
pigeons are destroying fields of corn ami
1 other grain that any prosecution would be
! waged for killing off the birds where con
1 illtions made It seem necessary.
