ION WEIGHT FELL.
Chain on City Hall Cock Cave 0ut
 Last Njiht.

The city hall came near being re- modelled on the instantaneous process last night. The chain that held one of the weights of the clock in the tower gave out and the casting which weighs about a ton dropped from it's moorings and fell through one floor, but fortunately it lodged on a large beam on the next landing and remain ed there. If it hadn't been for this 1t would have crashed to tho ground floor and probably done considerable dam age. The weights of the clock have not been in use since the bell was con nected with the fire alarm system years ago so that the accident will not in any way affect the service of the clock. It may tend to remind the city officials that the bell ill the city hail tower belongs to the clock and not to the fire department, and prompt them to have the clock fixed up so that it will tell time to people who may not be able to look it squarely in the face and look up some other plan to warn the public of fires and perform such other services as the department may require in that line. The break ill the chain was noticed this morning by George Strobel when he went into the tower to wind the clock.

BAR ASSOCIATION.

 Names of Cswsll aad Cssmsdy.

The local bar association seems de- termined to get Judge Cowell and At. torncy CarmUdy appointed Juuges of tho district court. If, as has been said before, the appointment in the case of Attorney Carmody will depend upGn politics, he will not be in tine race for minute. otherwise he is certain of success tor the bar has endorsed him almost unanimously. \ further step Tn that direction was taken to-day. The bar held short meeting during short calendar in the district court and Attorney ONeill. as vice president, presided Attorney Seery moved that the committee to present the resolu- tons to have Judge COwell and At torney Carmody appointed judges of the court. consist of Judge L. F. Bur pee, Representative $. J. Marsh and Attorney u'Neill. There was ID oppo- sltlon to this selection and the meeting closed immediately.
 It is said by the attorneys that ii City Attorney Kellogg keeps his hands or Attorney CarmOdy will certainly pc appointed. Hut can NIT Kellogg aHord to keep his hands off :? is the question that many lawyers have been asking each other Judge Peasl.y is 10 be considered. He cuts a wide swath in politics, particularly in the third ward, and he is generally victor lous. It is said that if he is not reap- pointed deputy judge he will endeavor 10 Wrest the city attorneyship from MT Kellogg. The latter's term expires next June, and Judge >Peasley, with the aldermen from his own cherished third ward, supported by the demo- clats would wipe Mir Kellogg off the board. That's the difficulty, and the ohiy one in Attorney Carmody's way 10 the bench of the district court.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. C. Dun 4 Co. Report Activity In
 All Lines.

R. C. Dun 4 Co. Report Activity In All Lines.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 14.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Erratic weather produces irregular ity in retail distribution of merchan- disc at many points, and southern busi- ness is quiet because of the depression in cotton, but the general outlook is considered very bright. Manufacturers report that confidence is warranted by the number of new orders, while deliv- cries on old contracts are of satisfac- tory volume. The best news comes from the iron and steel industry, while footwear factories are busy. woolen mills in exceptionally good condition and activity is assured among cotton spinners as soon as the raw material market becomes settled.
 Failures for January thus far com pare very favorably with last years returns, railway earnings increased 5.S per cent over those of 1904. and foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows gain of $8. fol ,S67 in imports and loss of only $9Sl,933 in exports. Commodity markets are quiet, and Dun's index number was $1O0.3lS on Jan. 1 against $lO0.554 a month pre- vious.
 Aside from the abnormal position of breadstuffs, owing to the short wheat crop, the general position of commodity prices is unusually free from imitation or other unhealthy factors. Securities are fairly steady, with little specula- tive activity, and money remains abun- dant and easy despite large exports of gold to nations that need temporary assistance.
 Withdrawals of government deposits and increased demand for accommoda- tion in mercantile channels should pre-. vent any further decline in rates for money. Bank exchanges at New York for the last week were 39.2 per cent larger than year ago, and at other leading cities the gain amounted to 13.3 per cent.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for January amount ed to $2,4eS,056, of which $l,251,543 were in manufacturing, $1.323. .796 in trading and Sl3,617 in other conner cial lines. Failures this week number ed 324 in the United States against 324 last year and 2s in Canada compared with 24 a year ago.

TO CONTROL INSURANCE
President to Advocate Federal ST.
pervision of Companies.
CONFERENCE AT SYCAMORE HILL

Mr. Roosevelt FaVors Government Con-
troll Of Interstate Business II It Can
Be Brought About cOnstitutionaIly.
Supreme Court Must Decide.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 17.-Federal super
vision of insurance was the subject OF
n conference at Sycamore Hill. The
parties to the conference were the pres
ident. Senator Dryden, Of New Jersey
president Of the Prudential Insurance
company, and Mr. Beck.
The president for a considerable time
but especially since the disclosures
made during the last few N Whs re-
garding the operations OF the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, has manifested
a deep interest in the problem OF ma
tional control Of the insurance busl-
ness. In his message to congress last
December he said:
THE business OF insurance vitality
affects the great mass of the people OF
the United States, and is national, not
local. in its application. 1t involves
multitude of transactions among the
people of the different states and be-
tween American companies and foreign
governments. | urge that the congress
carefully consider whether the power
OF the bureau of corporations can con-
stitutionally be extended to cover in
terstate transactions in insurance"
At the last session OF congress Sena-
TOR DRYDEN. who is recognized as an
authority upon life insurance, intro
duced a bill in the senate providing In
brief for supervisory control OF inter-
state insurance business by the bureau
of corporations. II was along the lines
of this measure that the conference
proceeded. The president is known to
he in favor Of federal control OF the
insurance business, If 1t can be brought
about constitutionally. Whether 1t can
be. is the point yet to be determined.
That the supreme court Of the United
States evetually will be called upon to
pass upon the question there is little
doubt
While no announcement was made or
the conclusions of the conference, II
any were reached, there is ample au-
thority for the statement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will discuss the ques-
ton OF insurance in his forthcoming
message to the congress in the light OF
DEVELOPMENTS in the last six months.
That he will recommend the enactment
of legislation providing for federal SUI
parvision of interstate insurance there
is no room FOR doubt.
