■s INSURANCE COMPANIES PUT
a BAN ON BOOTLEGGER POLICIEi
i
y, -
r PITTSBUGH. May 15 — Whih
> the regularly constituted authoritie
v, are experiencing some difficulty ii
locating wealthy bootleggers, im
- i portant life insurance interests sa;
they are finding them with compar
ative ease and, because of th<
j "moral hazard” involved, are refus
* ing to insure their lives.
Men who a few years ago wer>
glad to carry policies covering fron
$50,000 to $100,000, and in som
instances in excess of the latte
amount. Unless they are well knowi
and have a high business standini
they are carefully investigated, an,
if there is any suspicion as to th
source of their incomes, they ar
rejected, k matters not how good ;
physical risk the examining physiei
ans decide they may be.
Within the past few weeks on,
applicant who wanted a policy o
$50,000 was rejected on the groun.
that he was not a good mora
hazard, and a little later an applic
ant who wanted insurance to th,
amount of $100,000 was told h
could not have it. Other applicant
from bootleggers have gone th
same way. they say.
"We count the moral hazard a
something worth while,” said ai
insurance authority, discussing th,
business offere ’ his company b;
bootleggers. "We feel we canno
afford to take on men of this kim
and rather than compromise morals
we refuse all such applications. Hov
do we know they are bootleggers
When we see a man grow suddenl;
rich, without any visible means, w
are suspicious, and a little investiga
tion usually tells us whether we ar
right or wrong. It might be diffieul
for us to prove it in court, but w
prove it to our own satisfaction
with a reasonable mental margin o
safety.”
FEWER MEN IN JAIL
LONDON, May 15—England to
day is supporting fewer poor per
sons and fewer prisoners 'than a
any time since 1911. Thirteen year
ago there were 117 indigent per
sons to each 10,000 of populatio:
living at the expense of the state
1 compared to 70 today.
In 1911 the inmates of prison
and reformatories averaged 13.
per 10,000 population as agains
^ 8.3 at the present time.
RIVERS ARE CLEAR OF ICE;
NAVIGATION SEASON OPEN'
Reportas received at the local sta
tion of the U. S. Signal Corp
indicate that the Yukon river am
most of its tributaries are no-v
practically free of ice, and the sea
son of navigation has already open
ed on the upper Yukon, with om
, boat arriving at Dawson from Lak
: Labarge and another enroute fror
Dawson to the upper Stewart.
The Yukon river ice went out a
Tanana and Circle on Monday an
at Melozi on Tuesday. The breaku;
occurred at Rampart last night am
it is expected the heavy run of ic
will clear The river at Ruby, wher
the ice was still holding yesterday
Yesterday’s bulletin stated tha
the Innoko river had opened at Hoi;
Cross and that the Yukon river ic
at that point was rising, with th
breakup near at hand.
The Kuskokwim river had not op
ened at Bethel up to yesterda;
morning.
The Tanana river breakup, i:
the vicinity of Nenana, was unusu
ally orderly and rapid after thi
ice had gotten under way. The rui
of ice was practically continuous un
til the river had cleared.
The steamer Nasutlin, of thi
White Pass fleet, arrived at Daw
son from Lake Labarge Tuesda;
afternoon and was scheduled t<
leave Dawson for Mayo yesterday
A mail launch was scheduled t<
leave Dawson for down river point
this morning. The steamer Alaski
is enroute up the Stewart river fo
a load of ore.
The breakup at Nenana was fol
lowed almost immediately by ;
launching of small boats and th
waterfront, in consequence, no-v
presents a busy scene, from th
railroad docks, where the steame
i Teddy H. is loading for a trip u]
the Yukon, to the shipyards, wher
’ haste is being made to get th
: steamers Davis and Jacobs into th

Asked what had stimulated thi
emigration fever, the secretary o

“despair". “Young and old, traine

SUCCESSFUL FOX FARMER
N. E. Boishanin, of Unalaska.
■ who for the past twenty years has
been deputy collector of customs at
. that point, started a fox farm in
> the vicinity of that settlement in
1 the year 1916. As a beginning, says
? the Alaska Weekly, he had three
> pair of blue foxes. As an indication
; of the increase in breeding and the
- profit in the business, Mr. Boishanin,
. in 1921, sold 172 fine pelts; in 1922.,
i he sold 152 pelts and sold ten pair,
i foxes at $300 per pair to the other .
. farmers, retaining twenty pair for
s breeding purposes,
r E. H. Larson, also of Unalaska,
t had about the same successful ex
, perience as Mr. Boishanin.
