SERVICE
Your Fire Insurance Policy in nothing more than a
contract between you and some insurance company.
When you buy insurance, be sure that the other party
to the contract is anxious to do a little more than the
right thing.
This agency has had sixty-three years in which to
select the pick of the companies most fair and prompt
in adjustments. No company is permitted to operate
through our office who would in any way take advantage
of one of our clients. Our record sustains us
in our claim that no insurance agency can render better
service than that furnished our customers.

Belgian Banker
Falls 4/M Feet
Parih, July 9.?Whether Captain
Alfred I ^M'wenatein, Belgian finan* |
cier, reputedly one of the richest men ,
In the world, deliberately hurled him elf
from the private plane which
was W-aung him across the English
channel early Thuraday, or watt the ,
victim of a tragic mistake, waa unknown
tonight.
The usual routine police investigation
wax held today at BoulogneSur-M.-r
where the plane landed .
when it wan discovered that it*
wealthy owner had disappeared. The
investigation, conducted only by a
police commissioner without power
to do more than merely ascertain
the obvioua facta, resulted in no condux
ion.
The pi I to, mechanic, two stenographers
and valet, who were in the
plane on its transchannel flight testified
to their belief that Captain I
Loewenstein'* death was the result i
of a mistake. j
In many financial circles through- <
out the world, however, the theory j
of suicide was strongly urged, its adherents
pointing out that during
the last month many of the stocks in j
which the Belgian magnate was in- ]
terested hud suffered severe reverse's, j
It was reported on the Paris .
Bourse that Captain Loewenstein had i
been seriously worried recently over
his financial affairs and that his fail- ure
to arrange loans within the last i
weeks for some of his Belgain companies
had preyed seriously upon his
mind.
"Loewenstein made a billion francs
last year; why should he commit suicide?"
asked one close friend.
The six persons in the plane gave
their meager account of the affair
to the police and then still refused
to talk with the exception of a French
stenographer who said that her employer
seemed to be in the best of
health and spirits when he boarded
the plane at Croyden.
Captain Loewenstein had been in
j the habit of traveling between Brus|
sels and London almost every other
day, and it was on one of these regi
ular trips that he boarded his plane I
j at Croyden last night. When it was
over the English channel the banker
went to the washroom. Ten min- |
utes later, his secretary, Hodgson, '
said, he strll was away from the
main compartment. Hodgson went'
in search of him and found the exit
door to the plane, on the far side c?r
the washroom, open. The banker
was missing.
The plane put back over its course
in a effort to sight the body but
the search was unsuccessful and
Pilot Drew brought it to BoulogneSur-Mer,
the nearest landing field.
It had been traveling at a height of
about 4,000 feet when Captain Loewenstein's
disappearance was discovered.
In Paris. London, Brussels and
Berlin stock exchanges reacted quickly
wnen death of the financier became
known. In Paris every security
in which he was known to have
been interested dropped sharply. A
few wild reports that the report of"'
ths deatli was merely a spectacular
trick under cover of which Loewenstein,
still alive, was arranging some
j business deal, fantastic as they sound,
j received some supper! and help t
j save the stocks from further declines
I
i
Captain Lotwenatein was known
in Paris as a courageous oj>erator on
the stock exchange, frequently handling
immense deals with the utmost
coolness. He was better known, however,
as the owner of some of the
Finest race horses on the French turf
m.d a sanguine frequenter of the
pari mutue! betting machines.
"I'm born lucky," he is quoted as
having told President Doumergue
after receiving the letter's congratulations
when one of his horses had
won a long purBe. "Everything I
touch turns into money,' he said.
The president was greatly amused.
Captain LoewenBtein maintained
himself in perfect physical condition,
boxing and riding at every opportunity.
He was considered a clever
amateur boxer and during the year
following the armistice frequently
sparred with Georges Carpentier.

- Kkeleton Valued at $8,000
I Raleigh, N. C.f July 5.?H. H.
Brimley, curator and director of the
State mutcuni, has recently made a
trip to Topsail Inlet, where he inspected
the bone* of the mammoth
sperm whale, interred there for
cleansing purposes by forces cd the
stato museum,
Mr. Brimley reported the bones
were cleaning off nicely, but that it
would be several weeks yet before
they could be removed to Raleigh
where .they will be mounted.
Research shows the value of the
whale skeleton as about $8,000, Mr.
Brimley stated. The whale was washed
ashore at VVrightsville Beach a
month or so ago, and was acquired
by the Btate museum at no expense
save that of salvaging the skeleton.
Among the recent additions to the
state museum is a disc from a cypress
tree 840 years old. The stumn
measures 11 feet across and was located
in Pink Hill township, Lenoir
county. The museum has already
one of the finest wood collections of
any museum in the country.
Fifteen boxes, containing 04,000
pairs of silk stockings, were sold at
auction at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on
Wednesday. It was j>art of a shipment
of contraband silks that General
Jose Alvarez attempted to smuggle
into Mexico. Alvarez was a
former chief of staff of the Mexican
president.
