Second Butler in New York Arranges a
Fake Burglary.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-On the night
of Jan. Is the home of Augustus D.
Juillard, in ''the millionaire district" of
West Fifty-seventh street, was sup
posed to have been entered by burg
lars, to the number of not less than
three armed and masked men. Pistol
shots aroused the neighbors, and when
the police arrived James Reilly, the
second butler, was guarding the house,
revolver in hand. The Juillard silver
ware was strewn about the floor, and
handsome gowns were scattered here
and there as though in hasty flight
The Juillard jewels had been overlook
ed. Some damage had been done by
the bullets, but the police searched in
vain for an inside job"
Today they arrested James Reilly,
the second butler, and he confessed
that he had arranged a fake burg
larry" so that he might be compliment
ed for his bravery and receive the
emoluments thereof. Included in the
confession is an acknowledgment by
Reilly that he had stolen many ar
ticles of value from the home of Peter
Whitney, where he had been employed
also as second butler. Reilly forged
letters of recommendation in Mr.. Whit
ney's name. which aided him in secur-
ing employment with Juil1ard, and is
held now to answer the charge of for
gerry as we'll as that of grand larceny.

PATCH INSURANCE LAWS
PROBE FUEL QUESTION
Three Bills Calculated to
Stiffen Regulations Gov
erning the Operations of
Life Insurance Companies
Are introduced in the
Senate.

Work for the insurance committee
was piled up in the senate yesterday
when Senators Johnson, Morgan and
IL. II. Witherstine presented measures
designed to amend the present insur-
ance laws.
Senator Johnson's is the most impor-
tant Of the three measures, in that it
materially increases the present value
of the law relative to the INCORPORATION,
relncorporation and regulation of life
insurance companies operated on the
stipulated plan.
Amended, this act will compel the
insurance companies to go into detail
In their statements to the insurance
commissioner and their annual reports.
Make Detailed Statements.
They will be compelled to declare
the actual cash value of all real estate
owned by them, furnish full and COM
plete descriptions Of membranes and
the amount of cash in the Offices or
deposited with banks and trust com
panies.
The state insurance commissioner
must examine and certify all securi-
ties deposited and the amount of un-
reported or deferred premiums on
which calls have been made must be
reported.
Senator Witherstine's bill would
give cooperative insurance companies
the right to place insurance on houses
and their contents.
Senator Morgan authorizes the ap-
pointment of a referee in ali cases
where the insurance company and the
policy holder fail to reach an agree
ment as to the damage in the case in
volved.

Chanoino Philippine Tariff.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 22.-
The senate committee on the Philip
pines today authorized a favorable re-
port on the Philippine tariff bill,
which recently passed the house, but
amended 1t SO that instead of a uni
form reduction of 25 per cent on the
Dingley law, rates on goods imported
into the United States, all Philippine
produced articles shall be admitted
free of duty except sugar and tobacco.
On these the tariff was fixed at so per
cent of the Dingley schedules. This
change was made to meet the objec-
tions Of the sugar and tobacco pro-
ducers of this country who have
claimed that a duty rate of only rs
per cent on those articles would re-
suit in ruinous competition

BABcock PROVES HIS METrLE.
Speaker Makes Queer Parliamentary
Ruling to Being an Issue,


Speaker Babcock yesterday morning
easily won the fourth fall in the pro-
tracted set-to waged by the adminis-
trat1on in the ranks of the Johnson
men, against the Babcock organization
of the house
Speaker Babcock may be slightly
faulty in his knowledge of parliament
tary law, but he has the courage of
his convictions, and has repeatedIv
demonstrated that he is entirely able
to take care of the poor losers with
chips on their shoulders. Yesterday
ne resisted the attack made on the
committee on rules in a manner which
resulted in an appeal from the chair,
from which Babcock emerged with the
Victor's plumes proudly waving.
The gentleman from Lac qui Parle
called up his resolution directing the
committee on public accounts to pros
ecute an investigation of the employees
of the house, with a view to retrench-
ment. Chairman Wilson, of the COM
mittee on rules argued that the reso-
lutfons were out of order, as there was
nothing in the rules to warrant them.
The gentleman from Lac Quf Parle
hurled mixed metaphor about in a
manner highly edifying to the large
gallery and visible amusement of the
house. He wound up with both fists
waved aloft and a shrill demand that
the light of the sun be let in on the
workings of the Babcock organization.
Members on both sides of the ques-
ton unwrapped chunks of parliament
tary wisdom, most of them anything
but apropos, before the speaker reach
ed the batsman's box. He lined out the
first ball over for three bases by hold
ing the resolutions were out of order
The ruling was evidently made with
intent to draw out an appeal and bring
the scrap around to a fight on the
speaker, and as such was eminentIy
successful
An insurgent member of the Henne-
pin delegation wanted an explanation,
which was not forthcoming. The gen.
tleman from Hennepin protested that it
was really too bad; he very much de-
sired to support the speaker in all that
official did, but The gentleman
from Lac qui Parle took the cue, and
an appeal from the chair, which proved
his undoing by vote of 67 to 80.
The speakers ruling is generally
conceded bad, so far as parliamentary
law is concerned, but as a means to
the end of bringing the fight around
to the ticklish point and squelching his
tormentors, it was the finished work
Of an artist.

House Adopts Representative
Jacoby's Fuel Famine In
vestigation Resolutions
Without Debate Special
Committee Will Be Named
Today.


A special committee of nine mer7be,,
OF the house of representatives will
investigate the fuel famine situation,
with intent to prove or disprove the
charge Of conspiracy among the fuel
dealers.
The almost unanimous adoption Of
Representative Jacoby's resolutions by
the mousse yesterday morning was a
complete surprise both to the author
of the resolutions and the public, who
anticipated a warm scrimmage.
The resolutions were offered Tues
day. Under notice Of debate they went
over until Wednesday, and at that
time Mr.. Jacoby neglected to call them
up. A change in the plans of the SOL
diers' home committee, of which Mr..
Jacoby is member, put the situation
UP to him yesterday.
Ihe resolutions set up the allegation
that there is an abundant supply of
coal and wood on hand which is being
held back or sold in limited quantities
for eXorbitant prices, giving rise to
the assumption that there is a con-
spiracy existing between the several
dealers. The resolutions call for the
appointment of committee to include
one member from each congressional
district, empowered to summon wit
nesses and require the exhibition Of
books and papers.
Fight Was Expected.
Jacoby's resolutions are sufficiently
drastic to warrant the belief of the au-
thor and public that attempt to secure
their adoption would precipitate a
tight, especially in view of the fact
that notice of debate was originally
given.
Whatever may have been the original
intention of the debaters, they had evi-
IDENTIFY changed their minds when the
matter was called up yesterday. ia
coby expected trouble and was still
standing at his desk when the speaker
ordered roll call because adoption Of
the resolutions would involve expenses
of the committee.
Not word of objection was offered,
and when the roll was completed sc
votes We're recorded in the affirmative
and only in the negative. The mega
tive votes were cast by Representa-
t1yes Wilson and Shepard, who oppos-
ed the resolution on the ground that
the coal situation in cities was a mat
ter for city authorities and not the
legislature to wrestle with.
Speaker Babcock will announce the
members assigned to the special COM
mlttee this morning, and the investi-
cation is expected to be in full swing
next week.

HOUSE LEADERS ARE
GIVEN A BLACK
EYE
Philippine Coinage Bill of
Insular Committee Reject
ed and Minority Substitute
Passed Latter Is Favored
by Secretary Shaw.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22-The
house leaders went down to signal de-
feat today, when the house, by a vote
of 146 to 128, rejected the Philippine
coinage bill reported by the insular
affairs committee and adopted the sub
stitute offered by the minority for the
Introduction of American CURRENCY. and
the American coinage system in the
islands. The inSular committee in
cludes in it's membership the chairmen
OF the most powerful committees in
the house: Mr.. Cannon, appropria-
the house: Mr.. Cannon, appropriations;
Mr.. Hit, foreign affairs; Mr.. Payne, ways
and means; Mr.. Hepburn, interstate
commerce, az Mr.. Tawney, exposi-
TONS They reported a bill to estab-
lish the gold standard in the islands
and to authorize the coinage of silver
pesos of 416 grains to be made legal
tender at the rate Of two pesos for one
gold dollar.
The majority members made a gall
| liant fight for their BILL but a consid-
erable number Of Republicans, % on
the final vote, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Hill (Conn.}, Mr.. Fowler IN. J.)
and Mr.. Mccall (Mass), joined with
the Democrats and carried through the
substitute The fact that Secretary
Shaw and other officials were quoted
on the floor as faVoring the substitute
aided in the overthrow OF the commit
tee bill. Their opinions were advanced
as against those of Gov. Taft and other
members of the Philippine commits
sion.
What the Bill Does.
The substitute provides that the law
full money of the United States shall
be legal tender in the Philippines and
declares the coinage laws of the United
States to- be in full force there. 1t
provides for the redemption of the
Mexican and Spanish silver, not In
Guiding any Mexican pesos imported
into the islands after March Is, 1908, at
their bullion value, as declared from
time to time by the Philippine commits
sion, the silver coinage authorized by
the Philippine government act to be
redeemed at the rate Of two pesos for
81 of United States currency. After
six months no coin except that of the
United States shall be legal tender,
with the following proviso: That all
debts except those otherwise provided
for in the contract owing on the date
when this act shall take effect or con-
tracted within six months thereafter
shall be payable in the silver coins
now in circulation in the Philippine
islands or in the lawful money of the
United States at the rate prescribed
at the time by the Philippine commits
sion.
The pesos coined under the Philip
pine government act and the Mexican
and Spanish coin when redeemed or
received for public dues on the above
basis shall be coined into United States
coins at the mint to be established in
Manila.
The Alaska delegate bill was taken
up and supported by Messrs. Cushman
(Wash.), Wooten (Dem., TeX.), and
Sulzer (Dem., N. ", and opposed by
Mr.. Warner (Rep, nl).

vester Combine,


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. %. -
Speakers at today's session of the con-
vention of the Western Association of

DISTRIBUTE RAILROAD TAX.
State to Reimburse Cities for Revenue
Lost Under Gross Earnings Law.

Representative Hugo is the author
of bill to compel the state treasurer
to reimburse municipalities for real
estate and personal property taxes they
lost through operation of the gross
earnings tax law
The gross earnings tax law is state
machine, and the revenue collected un-
der 1t goes into the states Golfers. The
gross earnings tax is collected in lieu
of all other taxes, and municipalities
are deprived of substantial revenues on
railroad realty and other property. An
equivalent amount, Mr.. Hugo thinks,
the state should apportion from the
gross earnings tax to the municipah-
ties suffering the loss.
