MAKE ANSWER TO DRYDEN, Ohio P0iicyhoIders' Association Gives
 Pointed Reply.

F0tnted Hepiy.
 Cincinntai, Oct. 19.-The following answer to the published letter of United States Senator John F. Dryden was made public today by the officers of the Ohio Policyholders' Association:
 Dear Sir-Your circular with ques- tions attached has been referred to the Ohio Life Policyholders' Associa- tion by number of persons receiving the same, with the request that we am swer the same on behalf of this Asso- citation.
 The object which you seem to have in view in your questions Is to present as many names as possible in favor of a change from the mild supervision of the States in order that insurance companies may escape the burden of State taxation.
 "As we understand it, you are not asking for any increase in the sever ity of the regulation and control of the insurance business. The policyholders lation and control as will, as far as possible. protect them. for if they are protected, the insurance companies are protected. To this end, the Ohio Poli- cyholders' Association favors such control and regulations as will limit the loaning of premium charges. The excessive and exorbitant charges made TOT dEl CIdSSSS OI llIe tHSuIdlCc icduS to such phenomenal profits to stock companies and to such enormous accu- mutations by mutual companies that in themselves they are temptations to men to do wrong.
 80 if Congress has the power to regulate and control. and will regulate and control, life insurance business because it is interstate commerce. 1t will also have the power to limit the rates charged just as President Roose- welt asks Congress to regulate the charges on interstate commerce on railways. and 1t will be far easier to do justice to the insurance companies in this regard.
 "rhis Association will read with in terest the bill which you say you will introduce in the next session of Con- gress Would you be willing to sub init that proposed measure to us prior to its introductionS You say 1t IS a matter vItally affecting the welfare of the American people, and so 1t is, and therefore you should be willing to sub init it to the American people for their consideration if you really desire a comprehensive expression of qualified public opinion. We have over 5,0OO members in Ohio and we will submit your proposed bill to each one of them If you will give us the opportunity

No Cardinal
For America

ROME, March io.~It can be an.
nouncea on The highest authority that
no new America cardinal viii be ere
ated at the consistory next week,
Several things make this absolutely
certain II Is believed that had the
late Archbishop Corrigan Of New York
lived he would have been made a
prince Of the church and the same
honor bestowed on Archbishop ireland
Of st. Paul. This would have given
the conservatives and liberals In
America each new cardinal The
death Of the New York prclate put
an end To this plan. The pope has
interviewed every American prelate
who has come to Rome since his ell.
ovation TO The chair OF st. Peter re-
garding the claims Of the church In
America To a larger representation In
the sacred college. As n result Of
these interviews he liz convinced, II
is said, that the American bishops
are anything but unanimous regarding
the choice Of the prelate to be hon.
ored. This renders II absolutely Ger.
tain that no new American cardinal
will be created for some time.
As 10 the possibility Of II foreign
cardinal being chosen from some
European nation other than Italy, It is
the general opinion here that II such
a selection Ia made II win be that OF
a new cardinal de cnrla for Germany,
whose creation has recently been ar.
ranged with the German government,
