HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The contests between the ways ana
means committee and the Interstate and
foreign commerce committee for control OF
insurance legislation was continued in the
House today. Mr.. Payne took the floor
TO show that the power to tax was the only
way In which Congress could get control
over insurance and the ways and means
committee had jurisdiction over the taxing
power.
A review of judicial opinions was made
by Mr.. Payne to substantiate his position
that insurance was not interstate COM
merce. He contended that In the face or
the unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court the only legislation touching insur-
ance that would be held to be good would
be to tax 1t.
Mr. Mann Qll) sought by questioning Mr..
Payne to ascertain just how insurance
companies could be regulated through the
taxing power. Mr.. Payne declined to throw
light on this point. He said he could not
form insurance bill ofr-hand.
Method of Regulation.
Mr. Mann said he saw great difficulty
in regulating insurance through the tax
ing power, but he did believe regulation
might be secured under the commerce
clause of the constitution.
Regulation through prohibiting mail IA
cilities to insurance companies which did
not comply with prescribed regulation was
suggested by DIR. Davis. Minnesota.
AS a precedent for the future, Mr. Hep
burn said he saw great Importance In
the manner In which the question should
be decided. The Supreme Court view, he
sa d. was not the view of himself nor of a
considerable number of members of the
House nor of the American Bar Associa-
ton. The exact recommendation of the bar
association 1.-THE enactment by Congress
of legislation for the regulation of insur-
ance" was placed in the record by Mr..
Bartlett Georgia.
Mr.. Hepburn said the bar association had
gone even further and recommended the
exact form the legislation should take. As
to the court decs5 onS, Mr.. Hepburn said he
remembered that regarding one of the most
important decisions Mr.. Lincoln had said:
I'VE viii never cease our efforts to secure
a reversal of that decision.
Conditions regarding commerce were In
finitely different than when the decisions
in quest on were rendered.
By adopting the resolution regarding ref
erence, taken with the statement of Mr.
Payne that the taxing power was the only
Jurisdiction over insurance, Mr.. Hepburn
said the House would be simply proclaim
Ing its lack of Jurisdiction. Particularly
was this so when he said he had been
informed the majority of the ways and
means committee agreed with its chair
man.
81 believe this subject OF the control
of the great corporations IL one which the
people of the country demand of Com
gress. I believe we have this power and

Mr.. Hepburn.

that he had received the report of Admiral

emy, in the cases Of Midshipman Warren
A. Van Derveer of the second class and
M1dshtpman Trennrore Coffin, jr, of the
third class, charged with hazing Midship-
man Jerdone Pettus Kimbrough of the
fourth class in such a severe manner that
he required hospital treatment The Sec
retary said that he had not yet had time
TO consider the report, but had read
enough OF 1t to show that it was a very
serious case. 1t was his purpose to act
promptly in the matter and he intimated
that he might be prepared to announce the
action OF the Navy Department tomorrow.
Dismissal Recommended.
Although Secretary Bonaparte did not
admit 1t for publication, it IS understood
that Superintendent Sands has recon-
mended the dismissal of the two midshin
men for violating the regulations against
hazlng, that being the penalty prescribed
by law for such an offense.
According to the story Mdshipman KIM
brough, who is from Germantown Tenn
was forced to stand on his head until ex-
hausted as a punishment for his testimony
before a naval board Investigating hazng,
fighting and similar interdicted practices at
the Naval Academy.
Proposed Congressional Inquiry.
= resolution providing for a thorough in
vestigation of the situation and conditions

day by Representative Loud of Michigan.
The investigation is to be made by the
House naval committee, which is especially
Instructed to ascertain and report whether
violations of the law and the regulations
governing the academy continue, and
whether hazing, tagging, running and class
fist fighting continue in practice there and
the knowledge of and responsibility of the
officers of the academy for any conditions
found to exist"
The resolution empowers the committee
to act through a subcommittee, if deemed
advisable which may sit at the Capitol or
at the Naval Academy.

DANTE CHIEFS

Will Honor Memory Of Mas
sacre Leader.
Now York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
n Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 9.-Sena-
tor Reed Smoot has again triumphed,
and the new United States senator from
Utah will be son -in-law Of John D.
Lee, the Dante chief executed by the
federal government for the bloody
Mountain massacre.
The Smootites, who control the legis-
lature by an overwhelming majority,
got together last night and decided that
George Sutherland, a henchman Of
Apostle Smoot, should be elected sena
tor to succeed Thomas Kearns. Kearns
refused to wear the yoke of Smoot and
the Mormon church, and Smoot decided
to retire him and elect Sutherland.
Sutherland is supporter of the
Mormon church and the favorite SON
in-law of John D. Lee, who led the
Danites and directed the Mountain
Meadow massacre. The Smootites were
enthusiastic over the fact that they
will not only have an apostle in the SEN
ate, but will honor the memory Of the
| DANTE chieftain by electing his favor
tie son-in-law to that august body.
George Sutherland is of Mormon pa
rentage. In politics he has been closely
identified with the church, the domin-
ant power in Utah. While not so active
| in Mormon affairs as Apostle and sena-
| tor Reed Smoot, Mr.. Sutherland is the
selection Of the church. The majority
of the legislature which will formally
name him for the senate are Mormons.
