E. Zacher, president, of the Travelers Insurance company of Hartford, "Our policy as to all mortgage loans is to cooperate to the fullest extent possible in aiding the home owner to retain possession." "The New York Life Insurance company," said Thomas A. Buckner, its president, "plans no change in its policy respecting mortgage loans whether ou residences or other properties. Our policy is to deal with each case individually on its merit. Action regarding Iowa farm loans was merely to suspend temporarily foreclosures in accordance with the request of the governor in his proclamation, pending consid- of the subject by the legis- icure." Total farm mortgages in America are estimated at about 49,000,000,000.

Total mortgages on homes approximate S2o.OOO,COO,ooo, although no authoritative estimates are available.

Warm Springs, Feb. 3 President-elect Roosevelt has fixed his policies and found his men to execute them and tonight he heads for the open seas to enjoy a last vacation before assuming the office of chief executive of the United States.

The ruins still were smoldering when Dr. William Glendenninn. husband of the sarltorium's superintendent, and a staff physician, branded the fire as of incendiary origin. At his request police and fire marshals took into custody for questioning Chadron Farmer with whom he said the hospital physicians had lieen in dispute.

Dr. Glendenning asserted the farmer had threatened his wife with death and Thursday telephoned the institution's office and said: "111 get even if it kills me."

The smoke and heat soon became so intense that entrance to the cottage which 24 women patients and three sanltorium em- ployes slept became impossible. The fire was discovered by M. L. Smith, a male nurse, who spread the alarm.

Two nurses, Mrs. Ethel Craig and Miss Florence Farrell, quickly led 17 women sleeping in the three upstairs rooms down the stairs. They had succeeded in reaching the when lashing tongues of fire ate up through the floor. Several patients, panivstricken, broke away from the nurses and fled back up the stairs. Rescuers, working frantically, succeeded in removing them down ladders quickly holste-i to second floor windows.

The patients brought outside the dormitory by the nurses showed little concern at their sudden awakening and flight. Attendants said some, once they were taken to nearby dormitories, returned quickl" bed after first insisting on their usual baths.

Rev. Father Final Tag Bill Approval Near Kansas Senate. Will Consider House Measure Monday with Prompt. Approval EFFECTIVE NEXT WEEK? Licenses Probably Can Be Bought at Reduced Rates Soon After Senate Vote. Topeka, Feb.

3 early next week of the bill to slash automobile license fees 50 per cent and revise the scale for trucks was predicted today by legislative leaders as the senate voted to consider the house-approved compromise motor tag bill Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Both Republican and Democratic leaders of the senate expressed belief that branch of. the legislature would accept without change the house bill, similar to the one preciously passed by the senate. Principal differences in the two measures are in ices prescribed for motor trucks of light capacity. The senate bill would require fees of $7.5.0, and $15 for trucks with capacity of 1,000 pounds or ton and IVi tons respectively, while the house bill calls for fees on the three classifications of and $10.

day after Uie Republican members had succeeded In rejecting a Perno- cratlc proposal for a flat si fee applicable to all motor cars. A ilat S3 fee proposal also was turned down by the house. In accepting the plan calling for a 50 per cent slash in motor car licenses, house Republicans and Democrats joined in a compromise under which greater reductions were voted for light trucks than had been provided in the bill passed earlier by the senate. Assuming the senate will accept the house bill, new scale tag fees could be made effective early next week, thereby enabling motorists who have delayed purchase of their 1933 plates to obtain them at the new reduced rates. Under the house bill the minimum fee will be $4, and it will be applicable to passenger motor vehicles weighing up to one ton.

The measures simply cut in half the present $8 minimum and the extra charge of 50 cents for each 100 pounds or major fraction thereof in excess of $2,000 pounds will be reduced to 25 cents. DIES IN HOTEL BOOM. Son of Former Steel Official Apparently Killed Self. Chicago. Feb.
