Once upon a time there was a man who was lost.
He wandered around for days, trying to find his way
home. He would walk five miles down one road, until
he discovered that it didn’t lead to where he wanted to
go, and then he would walk down another road. He
was very unhappy, and his feet hurt.
After a long time he met another man, and asked
for directions. The second man looked at him and said,
“Isn’t that a map sticking out of your pocket?”

The answer is, of course: You shouldn’t!

set five per cent as a fair return or
anderwriting profit on fire insurance.
Satterfield contended that by such a
standard Texas, insurance rates are
too high. He said the underwriting
profit in Texas is 16.42 per cent. In
ihe last year, he said, the average
fire insurance rate in the state has
been reduced from 99 cents on $100
to 19 cents. \
Soape said that even with his re-
duction, Texas rates are not keep-
ing pace with the national average
of reductions.
Soape submitted figures going back
to 1921 to show that in the 19 years
the national rate level has been re-
duced 34 per cent while in Texas the
rate level has been reduced 15 per
cent. Over the same period, he said,
tbe loss ratio in Texas had declined
46 per cent while the national loss
ratio dropped 20 per cent.

premise that when a loss of property
occurs from fire someone must bear
the loss. An insured loss falls im-
mediately on the fire insurance com-
pany that had issued a policy on the
property. When losses are great, in-
surance rates advance. Hall said the
state commission’s part in the picture
is to see that the rates will cover loss-
es and yet be kept on a level with
them.
That cares for the problem of total
losses and total premiums. The dif-
ficulties come in the particular ap-
plications. Experience tables are us-
ed for this purpose. In determining
what the particular rates shall be,
Hall announced a belief that each in-
dustry should be made to bear the
costs of the losses in that industry,
in order that the industry may have
a spur or incentive to keep its proper-
ties as safe from fire as possible. For
instance cotton gin losses are based
on losses to cotton gins; rates no a
particular type of building are govern-
ed by losses to the structures of that
particular type of building.

FORT WORTH Texas, June 29.
(UP)—The United States govern-
ment today took first steps in a case
which it hoped' would swing prison

who was indicted as an accomplice:
For six months federal officers
chased Chadwick across the country
—first to New Jersey, then New
York, Kansas City, and finally Chi-
cago. Hle was arrested there May 21.
Chadwick left his Tarrant county
estate in such a hurry that he fail-
ed to convert into cash $8,000 worth
of fine cattle, horses, and hogs. He
told residents he had to make an em-
ergency trip to the East where he
would have an operation designed, he
said, to cure him of a disease which
was "turning him to stone.”
It was also believed that Chadwick
was here November 12, the night that
a local theater was robbed of $3,000.
The case against the Green Dragon
members—who identified each other
by matching pieces of torn paper dol-
lars — was developed by Fonville

Chadwick and 22 associates were
arraigned here today.
Assistant United States District
Attorney William P. Fonville prefer-
red charges. From two indictments,
Fonville read charges listing 45 counts
of narcotics law violation and con-
spiracy. Chadwick was made liable
for imprisonment in excess of 350
years. -
Tria! will start at 10 a. m. next
Monday in the United States District
Court here. Judge T. W. Davidson
will preside.
Howard Dalley, Dallas, was named
as defense attorney for Chadwick.
Marvin Simpson, of Fort Worth, will
represent other defendants.
Arraignment today was held with-
out a strong government witness, Ger-
ald (Jerry) Siegel. Siegel, 36, was
shot down in Chicago last Sunday.
Fonville said that in Siegel's death
the government lost “important testi-
mony.’’
"We'll be able to get along without
the testimony but it would have help-
ed the case,” . he said.
The steps which led to action to-
day against Chadwick form one of
the most colorful stories in the annual
of criminal literature. The criminal
career of Chadwick roared through
the “dizzy twenties’’ right down to
the opening of the century’s fourth
decade. It spread across this conti-
nent and into the islands of the Pa-
cific.
The alleged master mind of the
Green dragon dope ring, which smug-
gled from Mexico and peddled in this
country millions of dollars worth of
narcotics yearly, was born in Den-
ver, Aug. 12, 1898.
His first recorded arrest occurred
at San Francisco in 1924. He was
suspected thereafter of criminal ac-
tivities in Portland, Ore., Salt Lake
City, and Hawaii.
But be didn't run into serious
trouble until he eluded a trap set
for him here in Tarrant county last
November 20.
Chadwick had lived for 15 months
in Fort Worth and at a ranch near
Randol Mill. At the latter place he
was known as "Pete Sheridan’’, a
well-known and well-liked “gentleman
farmer” in the community.
But this man, who allegedly direct-
ed the activities of the syndicate

This discussion eventually raised
the question of the credits and penal-
ties given-to communities as a whole
for good or bad fire records. Penaliz-
ing Big Spring for a heavy loss oc-
curring in the cotton industry there
was cited as not making the industry
bear its own losses, Ralph Soape, exe-
cutive secretary of the Insurance
Buyers’ Association, contended.
• Bayne Satterfield, member of a
fact-finding committee for the Texas
Firemen's and Fire Marshals’ Associa-
tion, said there should be no particu-
lar rate increases by classifications be-
cause the community charge for a bad
fire record offsets the high losses
