To Addresa Gathering1 In New Port
O'Connor. Auditorium.
(HutHm Put Sptcial.)
PORT O'CONNOR . Texas June 14.-
All . of the candldatea for governor of
Texas including Poindexter Colquitt
Johnson and Davidson have boon Invite
to apeak in the auditorium during tho
great auction sale of town lota and farm
lands that will occur in Port O'Connor
June 28 34 and 25.
Ta Invitations were sent out- today and
ovary effort Is being made to reach the
Candida Us In time to receive response
before tho apontng of tho sale. .
Because it is expected many thousands
ot parsons will be hero for the sale it
was suggested to A. B. Powers A Co.
that a splendid opportunity would te
created for all the candidates to meet the
people hero during the sale. This suggev
flon was acted upon at onoe resulting lit
invitations being sent out-
The big auditorium where the auction
sale will take place out on MatagorA
bay haa a seating capacity estimated at
5000- and affords ample accommodations
for a large crowd if the candidates can
be persuaded to attend this land auction
It will be one of the most unique politloal
meetings ever held In Texas.
This prospective feature added to tho
automobile races . horticultural exhibit
boat rides on beautiful Matagorda bay
and other attractions. It Is believed will
reeult in drawing vmmense crowds to
Port O'Connor on the dates of the big
auction sale of land. In fact. tlckV
agents along the railroads In this terri-
tory already report the indications are
that thousands will entrain for Port
Connor for tho opening: of thlo resort
and truck farm center. . - .
Trio development of Port O'Connor Is
put step in the development of tho en-
tire coast country that has been pro-
gressing rapidly during .the last two
years. It means that wlthlfl a short time
the gulf coast Of Texas will become as
famous for It resorts as Is the Atlantic
coast. . --. ' . -

year the reports from all' of the Htateo
Showing Increase ot payment for death

the- fraternal societies showed also in-
crease of pay menu for death claims and
benefits. - -
Evidently the change of general condi-
tions ot trade and business from unfavor-
able to favorable that Is the return ot
prosperity. had effect in the life insur-
ance field sufficient to permit the carry-
ing of insurance without conxlderable
Increase of liens through loans and also
to reduce to a normal extent the lapsa-
tlon of premium payments. With a largo
amount of insurance taken by hew in-
surants and in comparison wtlo-the 'rec-
ords tor 1907 and 190. a decrease ot ratio
of Insurance dropped naturally the com-
panies had to pay more olalms last year.
According to the returns to tha lnsur-
snce department of tho State of New
York where SO per cent of the Insurance
In force . must bo accounted "for there
was n apparent increase of about 835-
000800 tn loan on policies as compared
with increaeea of more than 356468.000 in
1908 872687325 in 1907 and 8Z7.279.825 In
1908. - S
In the past three yesra the apprecia-
tion of the value of life insurance policies
for the protection througirToans pf com-
mercial credit and the alleviation of tem-
porary embarrassment In miner sffalrs
was a feature ot the business sufficient
to require the cognizance of executives'
of companies who uttered warnings
against allowing the loan liens to remain
unpaid-. . The records of many of the
companies have indicated large repay-
ments but at the close of .lOOf the out-
standing loans on policies amounted to
8398.993588 for the companies that reported
In New York reducing the protection of
811.110.457.173 ot ordinary insurance . to
810713463.586.
. According Also to tho returns to the
New York insurance department the ap-
parent increase of disbursements for sur-
rendered lapsed and purchased policies
In 1909 was 88059069 compared with an
Increase of $14543081 In 1908
For other living policyholders those
who have been able to hold on In rough
and easy places and maintain tbelr In-
surance protection the record of divi-
dends paid In 1909 by the companies that
reported to the New. York department
shtfwed an Increase of 29.19573.4 compared
with an Increase or 87730107 in 1908. Be-
sides Increase of the amount paid the
item of dividends due and unpaid showed
an Increase of 1381864. The account ot
dividends declared on or apportioned to
annual and deferred dividend policies in
1989. and pavable In 1910 was for 36t.ftl.-
494 an Increase of 32324fMni. The amounts
set apart calculated or provisionally as-
certained upon deferred dividend policies
had a total of $207 3693.14 st the close of
19C9 an Increase of 374.832163 compared
with an Increase of 351008210 in 1908.
The promotion oi new companies was
continued last year but reprehensible
stock-selling schemes were denounced by
the Insurance commissioners of the States
In convention In Colorado Springs. - .
'In view of the widespread traffic' In'
many of : the States "consisting of tho
ale to the public' through solicltinu;
gents of the stocks of newly organised
or projected Insurance corporations or
of holding companies or so-called Invest-
ment or securities companies whose prin-
cipal assets consist of such stocks" and
by reason of the commissioners' peculiar
opportunities for Information on the sub-
ject they deemed It their duty to direct
the attention of the public to the sub-
ject; and besides publishing several sug-
gestions to warn those who might be
approached by the soliciting agents they
Pledged themselves to put forth their
best endeavors In all practicable and
S roper ways to put an end to ths traffic
cllevlng It to be "pernicious and wholly
Indefensible."
At the same time they recognised that
new Insurance corporations could be a
thev had been and were being organize !
and conducted so that they would con
serve the interests or their patrons; that
the formation of such companies organ-
ised upon sound lines and to be con-
I ducted under proper management was
aesiraDie ana snouia oe enoouragea rn
"many sections.
Already the loses through the break-
down of some of the new schemes have
been severe. Early collapse Is the doom
of many more.
Two important general movements ad-
vanced sufficiently last year to warrant
actios by life insurance companies In tho
Interest of policy holders. One was for
uniformity of State laws; the other was
for health conservation. v
The views of representatives of the
companies on the problems that "arise
from laws and the tack of laws" were
expressed In Washington n January last
when the governors of states met In
conference on the subject .
In the field of fraternal Insurance two
hocks were received shaking old estab-
lished orders to th-lr foundations.
Tho court of appeal of the Stata of
New York held that an Increase In the
rata Of a single assessment could not be
made by amendment of the constitution
or rules and regulations of a benefit In-
surance association after a member had'
entered Into his contract of insurance
although his certificate provided that It
was Issued on the express condition that
he should comply with all the lows rules
and requirements of the association and
In spite of the fact that if It had not
been vested with such power It would
be unable to continue Its financial life
and pay death losses. .
The court held also that amendments
to the by-laws of a benefit Insurance as-
sociation assuming to rut down the
benefit to which the member became
entitled by his contract were void al-
though a general right to amend was
expressly reserved by the certificate.
Thesr decisions the most Important on
tha subject of fraternal Insurance ever
handed down will have grave eonse-
auencea. Inevitably many orders will be
Issolvod. Others will attempt reorgan-
isation but with little prospect of suc-
cess upon families and indlvdualr will
taH losses that can not be made good.
amounting perhaps to billions of dol-
laro.
From report sent to the Insurance
Pre hare been tabulated tho policies
of $10000 and upward to tho number of
mare than 8150. The largest policy was
tor $478000; the next largest $460000. ' .
The largest of the amounts of - the
claims paid must be credited to the city
of Now York (336487231) with Philadel-
phia ($138X6.318) second in tho list and
Chicago ($11223731) third. .

Y s-RKDCKIC 4. HASKIN;
.The straw hat aon Just . opened'
promises to bo unique In many ways. In
tha first plaoe a campaign for tha axv
pension of the season of regular price la
on. and la some two aooro elKlee agree-
m exits hare bean signed by the retail hat
dealer. provtdin that there shall oe no
cuttlngl of price on straw hats prior to
Auguat 1. Last yoai- some twenty jplMagl
nan sucn an agreement and tne Jiat raen
.found that they sold just as many hats
and made considerable more profit under
tha August 1 arrangement. They found
also -that they were just as successful In
oiearlng up the odda and ends f - the
season after August 1 as they had been
when beginning their clearance aalea a
month earlier. ..'. -... .
4 At the beginning of this season there
waw promise oi a reoora year tor Pan-
ama hat sales but tho recent dlsnuta bs-
I'tween ths importers and the eustoma of-
noiais is declared by tho hat dealer to
Indicate a falling off at at least 80 per
eent la tho supply of Panama hats this
easoa It I claimed by the hat men
that the -eustoma official did wrong In
seising the hats brought Into the port of
New York. - They assert that there Is no
standard of value. In the Panama hat
trade and declare that often heta are
'bought for twenty-five oent each that
are ;ust a good a those which at other
tlmea tbey buy for seventy-five cents
each. In a bale ot bats containing 144
dosep no two hats may have the same
value. In a recent case a Jobber had
6000 hat for sale but hi dealer wanted
0004). Bo he ordered hi buyer In Ecua-
dor to get the extra thousand although
he might have to pay aa much again
ter hat. As the basis of ths valuation
y the American customs offidala is the
price paid In the country from which
they are Imported It la claimed that great
injustice la done to th Importer.
Under the conditions of the sels-
ur of .. the consignments of hats
at . New York. it Is probable : that
all the hats now in bonded warehouse
will have to undergo a revaluation and
this means that thousands of dosena of
hats will be kept off the market until
the season Is practically over. Por great
many years the Panama hat has- been
regarded as the acme of straw bat - ex-
cellence. After the early reign - of high
prices the- selling figure were brought
down . te a basis which made the Pan
ama hat at once a luxury and an econ-
omy. It . Is declared by the trade that
the Panama has come to stay that.lt is
as permsnent aa the derby.
Op of the most Interesting ahow win-
dow exhibit ever made by a hat store
has been going the round of a chain ot
stores owned by tone firm It consists ot
an ' elaborately trimmed window filled
with Panama hata in all th stages ot
their making from the first button In the
crown to the completed hat. In the midst
of all these hata soma of which are
mall enough for a doll and bthsrs large
enough for a giant there I a macunla
plant growing In a pot. This Is the plant
from 'which the Panama I mad. There
la a rawhide case or two In whloh the
hats are shipped like bales-of hay. and
dosens of plotures Illustrate the process
of Panama hat making from ths time the
seed of the macunla plants are sowed
down to the moment the hat ' la com-
pleted. In the exhibit there Is what I
aid to be the largest Panama hat' ever
made the circumference of the brim be-
ing alx 'feet. . .t
of course every one know that tho
Panama aat dees not come from Panama.
It got that name through the faot that
Panama used to be the distributing cen-
ter of the business. Ecuador claim the
honor of being the home ef the hat and
it s said that the Drat on was made
some 876 year ago in th province of
Manavi hy one Francisco Delgado. From
the horn of ita origin' the hat got It
name as the Manavi Bat a nam by which
it still Is best known In the regions
where It Is produoed. Peru and several
other South American countries now make
tha Panama hat. The grass from which It
Is mad Is grown In tjie rainy aOaaon In
rows net in low wet ground. It attain
to a height of from live to .seven feet and
1 cut before it la ripe.
It I then boiled In water and afterward
sun-dried. After assortment It Is ready
for use. The best fiber are selected for
the high-grade hate and by a peculiar
manual process the flat blaqes are made
to appear round like a shoestring. Most
of the work on the Panama hat must be
done during humid weather tho best re-
sults being obtained between midnight
and sunrise. From three to Ave month
are required to make aom of the finest
hats. After the weaving Is completed th
hata are washed in cold water coated
with a solution of gum and then polished
with dry powdered aulphur. n
Moat of the braid from which the or-
dinary straw hat are mado are Imported
from Japan China and other oountrle
across the Pacific. .By a recent ruling
of th treasury department. It Is asserted
that a reduction haa been mad In tho
cost of straw hat amounting to from
$1.20 to $2.40 par dosen. Under tne former
ftractlea straw braid coming Into Amer-
can ports waa taxed 20 per cent duty.
Under the ruling Just made th rate ha
been reduced to lfi per cent. It 1 said
that considerable difficulty ia experienced
in securing girls to sew the braid In men's
hats by reason of tho fact that the mak-
ers of women's hats are willing to pay
more for their services.
- The making of a felt hat Is ona of the
most lnterstlng prooOsses in- the whole
Hold of clothes-making. It Is said that
the credit for inventing felt Is due to bt.
Clement and the day sacred to hi mem-
ory 1 still the day of most ot the hatter
conventions of the world. In taking long
walks he wore the lint off his wool socks
and front this he la said to have mane th
first felt. Tha hare the muskrat th
coney and tha bearer supply the most of
the hair used In making felt for hats. The
felting quality of new cut fur la not a
good as that of old. The season ot ths
year at which the animal la killed also
affecta th falling quality. Th fur la cut
off and the pelt I uaed In making glue
and gelatine. When th hair reaches th
hat factory It Is first sent through' a ma-
chine called the "devil" which tears It
all apart so that the next process passing
through the blowing machine may cleanse
it from all dirt and other foreign sub-
stances. Ths cleaned hair is then passed
on to the forming machine Thla consists
of a casing containing a revolving turn-
table carrying a conper comb aome sis
feet high. This comb Is filled with holes
like a colander and the rushing of th
air through this causes a deposit of hair
all over it. This mass Is then covered
with wet cloths and la Immersed in hot
water for a minute. '
After this. It Is stripped from the
comb and undergoes a hardening proc-
ess. It next Is sent to Its first slxln
where It Is shrunk to one-third of It
original site. After this It la shaved
by a multitude of tiny little razors and
then goes to Its second sizing where It
Is treated to a rolling process with a
rolling pin like that used by tho house-
wife In rolling douh. Stiffening Is next
Introduced which consists of shellac and
ammonia or some alkali. It is then dipped
reieatedly In water and rolled. After
that It takes a hath in diluted add and
I then placed In a metal steam chest.-
After its hot bath It Is blocked dyed
hand-blocked again steamed again and
Is then placed In a hydraulic press where
It Is given shape. After being dried In a
gas oven It is sand-papered and the
brim put on by a process too technical to
be described here. The result is a stiff
hat ready for the trimmer. Soft hats
are mads In the same way except that
the shellac Is left out.
It Is said that the silk hat business this
year I better than ever before The top
hat was originated by a Mr. Hetherin-
ton a! London haberdasher. In 1707. It I
related that whan he went out upon th
street he waa followed by a . mob and
arrested for disturbing tha peace and In-
citing riot "He had to give bond for 500
pounds sterling. The court officer 'de-
scribed the hat aa a tall structure of
shiny lustre 'and calculated to frighten
timid people.. The record shows that wo-
men fainted children screamed dog
yelped and tne son of Cordwatner Thom-
as fell and broke his arm a a result pt
the excitement . . - 's.

There are sixty-five establishments In
th United State making hat and sap
material with a product that la valued
at over $800000 a yea. Sixty-eight -straw
hat factories produce hata worth
at wholesale $10$CtObO and 813 felt hat
factories produce $88000000 worth of felt
hat a year. Fact ori as making hat other
than felt traw and wool are 418 In
number with a product valued at $13
000.000. It will be seen from these fig-
ure that th wholesale value of the hata
made In the United States amounts to
more than $M.00000 whleh la prob-
ably multiplied by two when they reaoh

Colonel Btandlfer waa her allnrlng
this session in the Interests of the? Hous-
ton sshlp channel In the river and harbor
bill. v The bill lo passed and Colonel Btan-
dlfer got all he came for. Ho ha don
magnlfloent work. He ha been Inde-
fatigable In hla effort has met more
pubflo men and made them hi friends
than any other one man Houston ever
sent here to look after her Interest. . "
New that Houston ha a million an a ii
ouarter in thl bill t help her flnlab a l
pre loot that will make her tha greatest
seaport on th Texas coast It behooves
th dtlsens of Houston to that thla
appropriation haa not been In vain.
Under the agreement In whloh thl ap-
propriation waa placed to th river and
harbor bill Houston ha agreed to fur-
nish the same amewnt of money appro-
S rteted In the bill. Not only local pride
ut the business Interest of that eity .
hould oee to It that the bond are
promptly floated and the money forth-
coming to Join th gevernsaenl appropri-
ation thus making tho Houaton ship
channel a verity an aeeompllahed faot
and bringing to Houatea't) th om-
meroe of th world. ( .
It wa my privilege in Deeember 187
te send th first dlspatoh from th elty
of Washington to Ths Houston peat con-
cerning thla project which means e maou
ter tho commerce ot Houston. Whea.I
came here at that time aa Tho Post'
correspondent there had Just been com-
pleted a eurvey ef Buffalo bayou by tn
army engineers loolUng toward the isep-
enlng of the asms and the building of
this ship channel whloh I new about
to end In the fruition of all th hope ot
the buslneaa men of Houaton. -
Everybody In Houston waa oa the t)Ut
vlve for this engtnnero' report and very
anxious' aa to whether It would be fa-
vorable or unfavorable. At that ties i I
was very green a to a correspondent
Work and did not know where to $je to
look tor tho enjrineenr report as they:
came to the eapttol and were first arall-;
able to a correspondent's ecru tin ay
I Invoked th assistance of a number
of Texas congressmen but they seamed
to know aa Tittle about where to find
suoh a report as I did. I finally asked
a fellow newspaper man and h directed
me to a little cubbyhole office Just around
tho oornsr from tho offloo of the olerk ef
the house and on the eat ldjof stat-
uary hell which no man without a guide
and Ignorant of the topography of th;
oapttol could have found within a avroth'e
"juatas I entered th office ana waa
Inquiring ef a elerk whore I eould hav
access to the engineer' report he Jerked
his thumb ever hi shoulder poiatlng to
a man whd wa Just dumping an armful
ot thick manuscripts onto a table
I clawed over thla pile ot manuscript
until I cam to th report en Buffalo
bayou. That report contained net lea
than 30008 words and I was informed by
the olerk that I had only one hour In
which to dig out what I desired from thl
report before it wa sent to th publlo
printer 1
I wa up against It good and hard. 1
hustled however and got me a stenog-
rapher; then X went through this mas
as hard as I could and dictated th sail-
ant point of that report which waa a
favorable one and which I condensed
into about 4600 words. Ineamuoh as th
report was favorable I wrote a glowing
Introduction ot sot lea than 1000 word
and thus my first dispatch t Th Houa-
ton Post after mj) advent her was one
that affected the business Interests of
Houston more than anything I aver sent
after that time and which is bow about .
to be consummated in order to make
Houston the greatest business center ot
the great Southwest and In which I hav
been deeply Interested since Its Inception.
For thl reason I feel that t have
more than a passing 'Interest tn thl
great enterprise having been present at
It accouchement and Colonel Btandlfer
haying stood sponsor at Its baptism.
iWant te say to the people of Houston
that now that they are on the rivers and
harbors bill as a permanency which is a
hard thing to do they must do their
hare In order to tay there.
If thero'l any heeltncy en th part
of the people or Houston in this co-
operation with the government all the
work of the friends of the Houston ship -channel
project will have been done In .

smooth sailing and they may take their
