WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-Tnsurance.
hazine, the suffering Russian Jews and
immigration were all topics Of discus
sion in the house today under the gem
eral leave to talk. The only business
done was to send the canal appropria-
tion bill TO conference.
With a program OF speechmaking
ahead many members Of the house left
for their homes Saturday and the at
tendance today upon convenlng was
small
The canal emergency appropriation
bill was received from the senate and
read. Discussion of this was followed
by another debate on insurance mat
ters.
Mr.. Lands bill creates a division OF
insurance in the department Of COM
merce and labor and provides for a
superintendent of insurance. 1t requires
annual reports from all life companies
doing business I'm the territory de-
scribed. This would" he said, dis
close any scandalous perverslon of
funds. This would prevent, for in
stance, any life insurance corporation
from holding ninety million dollars
worth of securities marketed by J. p.
Morgan & Co."
Mr.. Lands described the salaries of
life insurance officers as the touch of
kin which makes the whole country a
Christmas tree"
These salaries. he said, were in the
main dishonest. Touching on some of
the reported transactions of insurance
companies, he said his bill would take
them out Of the saloon business, the
hotel business, the banking business
and the trust business. It would re-
strict them to the insurance business.
This would dissolve the standing pact
which Mr.. Perkins has had with him.
self for so many years. 1t Will also
prevent Mr.. Cromwell. the treasurer
of one of these corporations, from con-
tinuing to be member of ten different
sy-dicates, all of which do business
with the insurance corporation with
which he Is identified. This will pre-
vent Mr.. Hartman from borrowing
S27, 900, 1000 to cast into a struggle for
the control of the Northern Pacific
railroad
"This is plunder. Mr.. Chairman, pure
and simple. one thing exceeds the per-
fidy of these offenders and that is their
impudence. All but two or three re-
main in power. There Is not one of
them good enough to wear the stripes
of the felon. For them to remain in
office is unspeakable. as unspeakable
as for the home wrecker who sits COM
plaCently in the ruin he has brought

father to return thanks for divine
favor

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-That diseased

DR.. Maurice Fishberg of this city. a

he made to the commissioner general
of immigration at Washington.
DR. Fishberg said yesterday:
The curing of diseased aliens for

"Trachoma is a disease of the eye of
which 1 have a special horror.
''In MarseilleS the treatment of
trachoma has assumed remarkable d.
mensions. Here most of the immi-
grants from the orient, from Syria, Ar
menia and neighboring countries come
on their way to the United States.
Most of the immigrants report to a
man by the name of Anton Fares, who
refers them to certain boarding houses.
Later they are sent to DR.. G. Reynaut,
20 Boulevard d'Athenee, for eXamina-
tion. Those who are found free from
contagious diseases receive tickets and
are at once shipped to Havre. But as
soon as one OF these orlentals is discov-

again he came in contact with the
Eastern Illinois for the transportation
north and south. He determined to
build for his road terminal into
Chicago, and bent all his energies to
this end. The fight that ensued con-
tinued through several years, and 1t
was bitter and expensive, especially TO
Mr.. Walsh. At one time the capitalists
in control of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois bought up all of the coal mines
along the line of the road Mr. Walsh
was proposing TO build into Chicago,
and he was completely shut out of all
prospect of the profit of hauling the
coal, and was put in the position of
being compelled to transport his own
fuel. He at once bought up an i'm
mense acreage of coal lands which had
not been developed, and this sunk a
large amount of money that he intend
ed to use for the construction Of his
railroad. The proposed line from Terre
Haute to Chicago has not yet been
built but Mr.. Walsh has lost faith in
his ability to construct it.
Adverse Political Conditions
Another heavy drain upon the re-
sources of the Chicago National bank
has been the change in political condi-
tions in Chicago. The officers of the
Chicago National bank nave always
been active in local politics, and the
bank has handled large sums of money
for the city and county, the drainage
canal and the different park boards.
The Chicago National bank was also
depositary for state funds to large
extent. At the last state election a
man was elected as state treasurer
who was not friendly to the Chicago
National bank. and he promptly with.
drew over $2,OOO.OOO which the state had

Blount, who was treasurer of the West
park board, went out Of office, and 1t
was generally expected that the funds
which he had secured by virtue Of his
money amounted to $2,5OO,O00. The bank
was unable to count out these funds
Just at the time 1t needed them most,

DISCUSS CASE OF
SENATOR BURTON
QUESTION OF ASSIGNMENT ON
COMMITTEE
Late Mr.. Mitchell Is Warmly Defended
by Teller--Aeree to Confer
enee on Canal Appro-
priation Bill
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Whether
the senate Is warranted in ignoring a
senator convicted i'm the courts on
charges OF misconduct and in not as
signing him to places on standing COM
mittees, yet leaving his name on the
senate roll, was discussed for two
hours today by the senate and then
dropped without a ruling on the ques-
tion. Several senate leaders took up
the subject. On account of the deli
cacy of the question the debate natur-
ally was not so open as would be
necessary for final determination of
the matter.
Mr. Bailey raised the point by in
curing of Mr.. Hale, when the latter
presented the new list of standing COM
mittees, whether every senator had
been provided with a place. Mr. Hale
responded that every senator except
Mr.. Burton Of Kansas had been given
assignments and that he had been left
off the committees at his own request
until the charges against him had been
disposed OF by the courts Mr. Bailey
protested against any senator's name
being kept on the roll unless he was
given work to do and argued that it
Kansas and to the country, to investi-
gate the charges against Mr. Burton
and to determine whether he Is en-
titled to a seat in the senate.
In response to Mr.. Bailey several
senators called attention to the fact
that congress is following the precedent
established by the English parliament
In not taking cognizance against
member until the charges, had been
determined in the courts. Messrs. Hale,
Spooner, Lodge and Daniel were of
this opinion.
No Place for Graft
Mr.. Bailey, calling attention to the
fact that there had been five senator's
indicted in the last ten years, all on
charges implying that crimes had been
committed for money, said the time had
arrived when the senate should testify
that this Is mo place to come to make
money dishonesty" He complained
that senators who behaved themselves
were compelled to suffer for those who
did not through being subjected to
ridicue and jests. Counseling the
philosophy of the stoics against attacks
on the senate as a body, Mr. Daniels
said that any person who would origin
ate plan to protect the senate against
~ ribald jest would be hailed as the
greatest inventor of the age He did
not think the senate suffered by un-
justifiatble attacks by irresponsible
persons.
Mr.. Teller defended the late Senator
Mitchell, saying that 1t would take
more than the word of "a self con-
victed thief, perjurer and forger" 20
convince him that Mr.. Mitchell had
committed a crime.
When the senate convened today Mr.
Cullom was in his seat for the first
time this season. Mr.. Allison reported

Hundred Thousand Italians Take Pert
in Celebration of Feast of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel


NEW YORK, July 17.-More than 100, 900
Italians today congregated beween One
Hundred and Fourth and One Hundred and
Sixteenth streets, the Little Italy" of New
York, to celebrate the feast of Our Lady
of Mount Carmel They came from as
far east as Boston and as far west as
Pittsburg. From thirty miles around New
York, Italians came on foot, many OF
them barefoot as a still greater penance.
All day was spent in semi-religious fes-
tivities' About the colony were scattered
affairs of wood and tinsel, before which
Italians knelt in the streets, and on which
many of them laid wax reproductions of
fingers, limbs or other parts of the body,
with their prayers to the saints who heal.
The rear end Of the long street parade
was made up of barefoot women and chill
dren, carrying candles melting under the
combined heat of their own light and
the sun. Candles, many of which were ex-
pensive importations from Italy, were an
important part of the festival, and It
was intimated that more than seven tons
of them were used today.
Hundreds of pilgrims from out of town
were forced to live in the streets and 300
patrolmen were detailed to preserve order.
