ward Brackett arrived in Washing on

ference for two hours with Wayne Nc
Veagh. formerly attorney general and for
mer ambassador 10 Italy. at the latter's
law Office
II is understood that the conference re-
lated TO prospective insurance legisla tlon
in New York but no statement was given
out as To what was discussed. Mr.. Mac
veagh has been giving considerable attcn-
ton TO insurance laws and has some posi-
tive views on the subject OF state statutes
and the limitations upon federal insur-
ance laws.
In this connection IL became known to-
day that the president has sought the ad .
vice OF eminent counseT on the subject
Of federal insurance laws. and that the
bill OF Representative Butler Ames of
Massachusetts, more nearly meets the
presidents view than any other bill pro-
posed I'm congress.
Mr. Nmes bin was framed after much
study and counsel II provides a code. to
which insurance companies must conform
before being privileged 10 transact busi-
ness In the District Of Columbia. the ter
ritories and the insular possessions OF the
United States.
II is agreed by all lawyers that congress
may iegislate TO control Insurance COM
panies within the jurisdiction named.
Beyond that there is n serious question as
10 the constitutional powers TO regulate.
II is said To be the presidents aim to
avoid constitutional pitfalls In any in
surance legislation enacted
In the Ames bill IL Is claimed that II
would make a standard which the insur
ance companies would he compelled To
meet and which the states would pat
tern after in their statutes and I'm the end

resulting uniformity Of state laws.

When a New York policeman recent
" borrowed jewelry Of pawnbroker

story led to much comment In the
opinion of the pawnbroker most OF the
gossip was entirely uncalled for.
"People are making tremendous
fuss about that little DEAL" he said.

lend anything unless he gets big inter-

MUSIC AS A LURE.
The Way the Deadly Cobra Is Cap
4 tured In India.

The death dealing cobra Is passion
ately fond of music, and 1t is through
this means that its capture is often ac-
complished. The men in India who
can effect the capture of this deadly
reptile must be possessed Of remark
able skill or their lives are the forfeit.
When a cobra takes up its abode In the
ne,ghborhood Of a dwelling house 1t Is
customary to send for the professional
snake charmers. One Of them strikes
IN tune near the place where the
snake Is supposed to be located. No
matter what the creature may be do
ing. it Is at once attracted by the sound
Of music 1t energies slowly from its
hiding place and strikes an attitude In
front of the performer There II Is
kent engaged with the music While the
other man creeps up behind with a
handful of dust. At convenient mo-
mont when the cobra Is standing mo-
tionless, this man suddenly throws the
dust over the head and eyes or the
snake. Immediately the cobra falls Its
length upon the ground and remains
+hare for one short second but the sec
ond is enough. With a movement ike

the prostrate serpent just below the
head. In great anger the cobra WINDS
itself round and round the arm of Its

nresses his thumb on the throat OF the
cobra and thus compels 1t to open It's

with n pair of pinchers. II, however, he

him and forcibly unwinds the coils anc
places the body in basket. all but th'
head which is firmly held by the othel
man. He presses down the lid to pre-
vent the cobra from escaping, and SUD
denly the captor thrusts the head IL
and bangs the lid.
A very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though 1t II
highly dangerous. While playing Wit
one hand he throws the dust sideway'
with the other and captures the snak
with the same hand. The whole actor
must be like a flash of lightning, for

THE BURMESE WOMAN.
with All Her Failings, She Is Held
In High Esteem.

"Rurma. as In many other things"
writes V. C. Scott in his book THE
silken East" 'is in advance of more
reputedly civilized countries In the
status it accords to Its women. The
infant marriage and shutting up in
walled houses, the polygamy, the ha-
rems, the social punishment Of widows,
the denial of spiritual rights which pre-
vail in India are unknown in Burma.
Here women marry when they are Of
age and after they have seen some
what of the world. They marry, Tor
the most part, whomsoever they VIII
and from love. They are not handed
over as chattels to man whom they
know not but are courted and won.
The married women's property act has
in effect been established for centuries
in Burma. In this country, where the
women earn so much, the woman's
earnings are her own. Divorce Is cas-
ily obtained, but seldom asked for. The
lIghtness of the marriage laws, the
readiness of the Burmese women to en-
ter into an easy alliance, shock the viz
tue of the strenuous foreigner, but
within her ideals she Is a perfectly
proper. modest and well hammered wo-
man.
"She has failngs. Who has not? Her
practice of chewing betel Is inelegant
and destructive to her teeth; her voice
is apt under the pressure Of adversely
TO be shrill; her keen business faculties
detract a trlfle from the romance In
which. as in q halo, all women are en-
yeloped; In old age she Is very ugly
and even In youth her nose Is stumpy
her lips a little thick, her cheek bones
high and heavy-but these are eau
casian objections.
"In the eyes of the young men OF thu
land the Burmese girl Is a peerless
creature, and her influence over theil
hearts and their passions Is Immense
What is more, few men In Burma eve
undertake anything of magnitude with
out first seeking the able counsel O
their wives"
