BLAIR'S LIFE INSURANCE.
Half Million Dollars Which the Companies
Would Rather Not Carry.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which applied in the United States Circuit
Court at ST. Louis on Thursday for the
cancellation of two policies held by james
L. Blair, is not the only large New York
company in which Blair holds policies.
1t was said yesterday by an officer of one
of the companies Interested, that Blair
holds nearly half million dollars in life
policies in New York companies.
Half of the whole amount Is in two
policies in the Mutual Life. The Equitable
life Assurance Society has a policy with
Blair for sll 900, and he is said to have
ss5, 900 in small policies among various
companies 1t is also generally under
stood that Blair has taken out 5000 900 OF
insurance with the New York Life. Officers
of the latter company refused Yesterday
to give any information on the subject.
RI was learned at the Offices of the Mutual
Life that Blair had complained of being
sick for some time and that he was taken
TO a hospital in St. Louis Yesterday. The
Mutual people are doubtful rs to the seri-
o,lsness of his indisposition. He is said
70 carry large amount OF health ana acn,-
dent insurance in addition TO the life
policies,
One of the allegat ions made by the
Mutual COMPANY in the st. Louis suit rs
that Blair deliberately intended to kill
himself to defraud the company. One OF
the circumstances on which this charge is
based is that the defendant recently jumped
out of an apple tree.

Has No Authority to Pay the So.
100000 TO Panama. rs Colombia
Was the Only Government Named.
WASHINGTON, Nov. e.-The change in
sovereignty on the Isthmus OF Panama
may cause the canal project to be re-
opened in Congress this winter The Sen
ate leaders assume that President Roose-
welt doesn't consider that reasonable
time" has elapsed within which he was to
continue his efforts to secure rlght OF
way for the canal by way of the Panama
route. The Government OF Colombia now
ever, no longer has any authority over the
Isthmus, and the act authorizing the Presi-
dent to negotiate for the right OF way named
Colombia and no other Government as
the one with which the negotiations were
to be carried on.
There was some discussion among the
Senate leaders to-day as to what course
should be taken now that new state
has succeeded to the sovereignty OF the
Isthmus. Some OF those Senators who
we're instrumental in framing the act by
which the President received discretionary
powers in the canal matter hold that he
has authority under that act to transfer
his negotiations from Colombia to the new
Republic of Panama. They says that II
one man authorized another to buy certain
horse from John Jones. and 1t was after
ward found that the horse had passed into
the ownership OF JOIN Doe, the man com
missioned to make the purchase wouin
still be authorized to buy the animal from
the new owner In the same way, II If
argued, the President of the united States
Ia authorized to procure right OF way
for the canal from the Panama Govern
ment now that the control of the 1sthnus
has passed into it's hands.
believe that the Spooner act does not give
the President the necessary authority under
the changed status of things. The act
authorizes the President, in the, event OF
successful negotiations, to pay the sum OF
this money could not legally be paid over
to government not named in the law
The discussion of the matter to-day
brought out the fact that when the Spooner
bill was being framed, q suggestion was
after the word Colombia. Some of the
Senators who were concerned in framing
the bill argued that this should be done
to meet exactly the contingency which
has occurred during the last three days
on the Isthmus OF Panama. The words
the Congress of the United States in the
attitude Of fofnenting revolution.
In case it is decided that the President
cannot stretch his authority granted by
the Spooner act to the extent OF substitut-
ing Republic of Panama for "Republic
of Colombia" it is expected that he will
negotiate a treaty with Panama similar
to the treaty which was ratified by the
United States Senate last year, but which
was rejected by Colombia. The new treaty,
Of course. would require ratification both
by the United States Senate and by the new
Panama Government.
In any event it is probable that the whole
canal question will be reopened in Congress
this winter by the opponents OF the Panama
route.

decided not to give orders to the troops In

Great excitement prevailed here. Ma

Nashville and took posse ssion Of the general

The American employees OF the company
were called upon to defend the railroads

Meantime the Nashville's marines barri-

The businesslike demeanor of Capt. Hub

Major Black of the United States Army,
inspired complete confidence, ard feeling
of safety was restored.
BY this time the Cartagena had sailed
for an unknown destination. The energies
of the authorities were then directed to
getting the national troops out of the terri

o'clock, when a passenger train pulled
ont of the railroad yard, the soldiers were,
withdrawn from the main street. and soon
afterward it was rumored that the troops
would leave The rumor was true,
happily, and it was soon known that Sehor
Porfirio Melendez the chief authority OF
the new Government on this side OF the
Isthmus had concluded an arrangement
with the troops. They embarked on the
steamer Orinoco Of the Royal Mail Line,
which afterward left the dock on her regular
voyage to Cartagena. The sigh OF relief
on their departure was emphasized by the
arrival of the American transport Dixie,
with 400 marines on board.

to that effect was issued in the city

Panama underwent the change as calmly

vanishing Dummy Plaintiff, Ordered
to Show Cause to the Court Why He
Shall Not De Disbarred for These.
Lawyer George Alfred Lamb, who dis
covered and gave fame to Peter Power,
Northern Pacific suitor, has now to defend
himself before the Appellate Division in dis
barment proceedings begun against him
by the Bar Association for his connection
with the Northern Securities suit. A Pc
tition accusing Lamb Of fraud, deceit,
malpractice and gross unprofessonal con-
duct, has been laid before the court.
The charges we're brought before the Bar
Association last January by the officers
of the Northern Pacific Railway. Lamb
is accused of unprofessional conduct IN
having procured Peter Power as a dummy
plaintiff in the suit which was brought to
defeat the Northern Securities merger;
in having tried to prevent Power from obey.
ing an order of United States court. and
in having declared on oath that he had
held in his possession the 100 shares OF
stock which Power pretended to own. The
stock really belonged to Camille Weidenfeld.
a stockbroker, who has since been suspended
fora year by the exchange for his connec"-
ton with the suit.
When Peter Power, the disappearing
plaintiff" was summoned o appear in court
by Judge Lacombe of the United States
Circuit Court, he was on his honeymoon at
West Hurley, n. Y.
In an effort to evade obedience to the
courts mandate, Lamb smuggled Power
away in the night, escaped the vigilance
of detectives and took him by train to Mon
treal. Lamb afterward brought Power
back, and the vanishing plaintiff was
promptly sentenced to serve a month in
Jail for conte mpt of court. Lamb was
severely reprimanded.
Lamb is now practising at IS Liberty
street. He was admitted to the bar in
February, 1897 When the present charges
were preferred against him he refused to
answer them. On presentation of the
petition for his disbarrnent, he moved,
through his counsel. to dismiss the petition
on tho ground that the charges were not
proved and that in any event the matters
complained of had occurred In the Federal
courts and we're therefore out Of the Juris-
dic,ion of the Appellate Division.
The Appellate Division decided yeeter-
why he should not be disbarred.
