noon, and there wero all sorts Of com

PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.
The bill in full; which was introduced
by Senator Edward Lyle, OF Roanoke, is
as follows:
"A bill to amend an act to incorporate
the Protective Insurance Company Of Vir-
s,lnia, approved March 6, 1900, by adding
an INDEPENDENT section thereto.
.'Patron-Nr. Lyle.
'.Bo 1t eEacted by the General As
seInbly Of Virginia, That an act entitled
an act to incorporate tho Protective IN
surance Company of Virginia be amend
ed by adding thereto the following indie.
pendent sections:
list. Any insurance company au
thorized to do q fire or tornado insur-
ance business in the State of Virginia is
hereby authorized to purchase, rent, ac-
quire and use the surveys, charges and
rates of insurance published and pro-
mulgated by said company from time to
time upon such terms as the said Pro
tective Insurance Company Of Virginia
may impose, without let, hindrance or
penalty of any kind whatever.
:. I'd This act shall be in force from
its PASSAGE
WAS NOT REPORTED.
From the best information which could
be obtained on the subject, the bill was
never passed upon by any committee or
printed nor was it ever read in either
house 1t will be seen that its title is
not one that would cause any member to
suspect that it contained any important
provision, yet as a. matter or fact, &C
cordng to good lawyers, its effect Is
repeal the provisions Of the Wharton
law. 1t is known as Senate bill No. 800,
and If it was ever printed, diligent search
by senators, members of the House, and
newspaper men failed to disclose a copy.
It will be recalled that early in the
second SESSION of the present Leg1st
lature, Hon. George Y. Hunley, OF Ma
thews, chairman Of the Committee on
General Laws of the House, introduced
in that body a bill to repeal the Wlar-
ton law That bill was reported from
Mr. Hunley's committee, and has been
on the House calendar for some days,
and has been passed by daily at the IN
stance of those who oppose the repeal
OBJECTION SET FORTH.
Mr. Hunley's bill clearly sets forth its
objects in the title, and the patron has
waged an open fight for its passage.
When it became known on yesterday that
the Lyle bill had been passed. ana that
its effect would be to repeal the Wharton
law, the news spread rapidly and was
freely discussed about the Capitol Sen
ators expressed their ignorance Of its pas
sage. and House members likewise DID
not recall it. One member of the House
cot on the trail of the measure and after
many difficulties, located the original
bill and obtained a copy. Some inquiry
as to the course of the measure brought
forth the statement that the bill had been
iacketed by the Senate Committee on
General Laws, but this was evidently a
mistake as the original bill did not con-
tain any endorsement by members OF
the committee.
DIDN'T RECALL IT.

fore his committee.
When Senator Lyle, the patron OF the
measure in the Senate was seen, he said
he had introduced the bill at the reques.
Of one of his constituents, and that ne
was not aware that it's effect would be
the repeal Of the Wharton law, as he
was opposed to such repeal.
The Protective Insurance Company OF
Virginia, to whose charter the sweeping
amendment is made, was incorporated,
according to Senator Lyle, at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly, the bill
having been presented by Senator Steel,
former member from the Bristol district.
Senator Steel not having returned, !
said Mr.. Lyle last night, 81 was asked
+ to present the bill amending the charter,
and I did so, without paying any especial
attention to it's provisions.
INSURANCE MEN CONCERNED.
Mr.. Robert Lee Traylor and other in
surance people, who have been promi-
nent in the fight for the repeal of the
Wharton law, were at. the Capitol yes
terday, and were much worried over the
passage of the Lyle bill, contending that
it might tend TO prejudice the Legisla-
ture against the Hunley bill, for which
they have been waSing persistent bat
tie. No one knew much about the Lyle
bill, and not a single Senator knew of
it's sweeping effect until his attention
was called to it. Some gentlemen will
call on Governor Montague to-day and
ask a hea rims against the signing Of the
bill, II His Excelency has not already
signed it.. If it has been signed, some
good lawyers doubt its constitutionality,
