wasl,ingtou. Dec lg.--The House sfs- dulged Itself gain today to the extent of four floHTs of what was at many times termed an academic discussionf of Federal control of insurance. It was the fourth day of the debate and the interest of members had ap- preciably diminished.
 Democratic contention for States rights predominated In the oratory. The Republicans who spoke confined them selves more to the committee reference which should be made Of the subject of insurance in the Presidents naes- sage, On this many views were ex- pressed. None of them. however. sup ported the pending proposition to send the subject to the Ways and Means Committee.

 Mir Sullivan (Mass.) paid his re- spects to President Roosevelt by stat ing that he did not believe him infalli- ble either in his law. his State policy or in his recollection of conversation with distinguished visitors.
 The discussion for the day was com cluded by Mir. Finley (S. C.l who spoke against Federal control of insurance.
 The holiday recess was fixed from next Thursday to January f.

CAMPAIGN IN ENGLAND
NEW PREMIER AND BALFOUR TO SPEAK THIS WEEK.
Lord Curzon of Kedlesfon Win Go to the House of Commons h suc-
 cession to Str Joseph
 punstlaIo.

London, Dec. 16--The great political campaign In the United Kingdom will be fairly inaugurated during the com: Ing week when the new Prime Minis ter. Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, will speak at Albert Hall, London, and Mir. Balfour at Leeds. It is expected the respective leaders or the govern rnent and opposition will then outline the main issues and platform of their parties.
 Alfred Lyttleton. colonial Secretary in MT. Balfour's cabinet, speaking at bennington tonight. said the Unionists would place their first policy before the country. This is taken to mean that the modification of what is known as the Chamberlain policy is intended. Mir. Lyttleton also said the Unionists would base their fight against the Liberals on Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman's we'll known home rule proclivities.
 With regard to the first policy. MT. Lyttleton, who may be understood as spokesman for the Unionists, said the whole policy of his party would be for the prevention of unfair competition and colonial preference.
 Christmas week will bring an en- forced truce between all parties as fnr as an active campaign is concerned, but the activity will begin again after New Year. The campaign, 1t Is thought, will
 be short and sharp.
 One of the most interesting pieces of political news developed during a week filled with political moves Is the practi- cally certainty that Lord Curzon. form CT viceroy of India, will represent the
 city of London in the House of Com mons in succession to Sir Joseph Dims-
 dale. It is recognized in all political circles that Lord Curzon Is one of the coming men and A petition that is now iafw1 ~N-k E..k -AA l.. wE..- natures irrespective of creed or party. Lord CurZon's friends say he will un- doubtedly accept. He is a conservative 1 free trader.

 Shamokin. Pa, Dec. 1s.--At the ffn- al session today of the tri-district an- thracite miners convention some oppo- sition developed to the action of the convention yesterday in placing in the hands of a special committee the de- mands to be made upon the operators
 The convention. however. upheld the measure by a large majority.
 The vital action of the convention was the election of the special com nittee composed of President Mitchell and members of three district boards to meet the operators and endeavor to agree upon terms for the production of coal. The men hope to secure the concessions of an eight hour working day and what they regard as a, more equitable adjustment of the wage question and above all a working agreement with the operators which really means recognition of the min- CTS union.

 The result of the convention will be in effect the abolition of the ,concilia- tion board which was appointed after the investigation following the strike of 1902. The strike commission's s award will expire April 1. next.

 The first witness. William A. Sweet ger, was the lawyer who represented Mrs. Dodge in her original divorce proceedings. Sweetzer said that he served the summons in question on Dodge on March Si, 1897, at the Everitt House in this city.
 He then said, in reply to a question, in 1908 he identified in Dodge man whose real name was Herbitch. This was at reference proceedings in connection with the case
 The prosecution In the Humufei trial hhe charged that Herbitch was used at the reference to represent Dodge. who they charge was being kept away from the city.
 sweetser said that Mrs. Dodge was to pay ala expenses of the divorce pro- ceedings, including her husbands ooun- sel fees.
 Charles Herb,tch. whom sweetzer testified he Identified as Dodge in 1903 was then put on the witness stand. He says he went to the reference proceed ings in question at the request of Mir. HummeI.
 Testimony of HerbItch.
 T went to his ofice." said Herbitch. "and he told me he wanted to use me for about fifteen minutes at a hearing. but did not want me to testify He sent me to Judge Halls office, at 6s Williams Street. Hummel afterward entered the offlce with Steinhart."
 Did you receive anything for your service?''
 "Yes, $25."
 What did HummeIl say to you7''
 He told me that he wanted to see | if certain man would mistake me for | some one else" ] You know by what you heard there. that there was dispute as to the ser- vice Of a summons?" 1 T did"
 1 Justice Rogers. who is to try the case asked at this point: l And when Sweetzer greeted you as Mir. Dodge you did not make any re- sponse?"
 T did not"
 Charles W. Morse. the banker orga- niger of the American Ice Company and other corporations, was next called to the witness stand. It was In order to secure an annulment of the marriage of Mrs. Clemence F. Dodge that the alleged conspiracy was entered into by Hummel.
 MT. Morse said that Hummei told him in 1909 that Mrs. Dodge's divorce from Dodge was corrupt and bad Morse said he answered that if any thing was wrong he wanted lt set right. The witness said that Sweetzer showed him a newspaper picture of Dodge which the lawy = said he had with him .. cey Nicol Hummefs attorney. then said:
 And when you called his attention to the fact that by the date on the pa- per the picture was not printed until months after the service Of the sum mons, what did he say?'
 Needed Another Excuse
 That he would have to- frame up some other excuse.s was the reply.
 Mr. Morse testified that his wife said she preferred a new divorce from Dodge and that she started an sctioA for one.
