one No system of national supervision or
regulation will entirely prevent failures

Constitutionality of Supervision.
The senator does not believe that the
Supreme Court would hold federal regula-
ton of insurance to be unconstitutional,
because the American Constitution was
widely framed to meet the needs Of a free
and progressive people for all time, and
has never failed to meet new conditions and
new problems which arise as society adj
vances and civilization develops He be-
lieves that every authority on the history
of commerce has conceded insurance to be
an Indispensable factor In commercial de-
velopment. The Constitution is an instru-
mont dealing with general conditions. and

TWO Young Women Drowned.


Nav Freund and Cecilia Koetlier, each
agedSabout eighteen years, we're drown
ed wkie skating on Puckety Creek, near
Parnassus, Pa, yesterday. Their COM
panions, Edward Southworth and Will
liam Coughey, were rescued in an ex-
hausted condition, but both will recover.
The young people went from Arnold,
their home yesterday, for a skate, but
after getting on the ice, they decided it
WAS not strong enough aud started to re-
turn TO shore. One of the boys fell and
Miss Freund stumbled over him. The
strain on the ice was too much and the
whole party went into the water. Miss
Freund was carried under thei ice and her
body was not recovered until four hours
later. Southworth and Coughey, with
the aid OF people on shore who threw
planks to them, did everything in their
power to save Miss Koetfier and succeed
ed in getting her through fifteen teet Of
ice, which broke at almost every move,
but when the young woman was finally
carried to shore it was discovered that
she was dead. Both girls we're highly
connected in Arnold and the whole party
were high school pupils at that place.

Feasted in His Princely Palace.

In the 1000, 900 Midas palace of
Chas. NJ. Schwab, now nearing compile
ton on Riverside Drive, New York, there
was family Christmas dinner yesterday
which represented larger expenditure
of money than any other banquet IN the
city.
Alta banquet such as only royalty
might be expected TO think Of, and
which only the kings Of modern high
finance can afford, sat the steel trust
millionaire, his wife and dozen of his
immediate family, including his aged
parents. who came from their modest
home in Loretto, Pa, to spend the holl'
day season.
In all there we're ii guests at table,
which was set in the magnificent Louis
XIV. dining-room, on the Seventy'third
street side Of the Schwab palace. In
this rich conservatory, decorated by
masters, with ceiling by Jose Villegas,
representing the prosperity OF America
and its four walls decorated with repre-
sentations of The abundance Of the sea-
sons, from cartoons BY Arthur Thomas,
the family of one of the richest men IN
America feasted upon the rarest vlands
which the skill of renowned epicurean
experts could prepare. -,
A few months ago Mr. Schwab is said
to have made wager with one OF his
high finance associates that he would
eat his family Christmas dinner in the
Riverside mansion. He kept bis word,
but at the expense of great amount OF
extra work and preparation, and for days
double relays CT men have been rushing
the interior work to the limit. All last
night the Waldorf-Astoria florist worked
on the decorations.
The dinner was served at A O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon and the festivities
continued into the evening, when Mr..
Schwab showed some of his friends the
wonders of wha, he believes to be the
finest home upon the American conti-
nent.

Divorce Three Days After Wedding.

Herr Won Boja obtained divorce in
the courts at Vienna Saturday on a
petition which he filed three days after
his marriage. His bride, who was a
lady of considerable wealth, had married
him on condition that they should both
be converted TO Professionalism before the
ceremony. This course is now often
taken in Austria, where Roman Catho-
lies cannot obtain fall divorce. The
wedding took place in a Protestant
church, and the pair went 10 Abbazla

Roia found an old friend, with whom he
stayed up to play cards. His wife,
sighted by his conduct, left the hotel
quietly, after writing note that she
did not intend to return. Her husband,
on discovering that she had left him,
