Fight Is On in Albany.

Albany, N. Y, March S.--Immediate
interest in the big battle over the ten
bills proposed by the legislative special
investigation committee began today to
take form in view of the fact thatsthe
first hearing on the bills will be held
here tomorrow. Every Indication points
to a large attendance and to aahearing
which will forecast a bitter struggle
over the bills when they come up for
final passage. i.
Insurance men are gathering from all
over the state. There are five life un-
derwriters associations in the state.
These associations have united for the
fight against those portions of the bills
that are objectionable to them.
Suits Against Hamilton.
New York, March ANNOUNCEMENT
is made that the New York Life suits
against Andrew Hamilton for an &C
counting and restitution Of $1,000, 900
will be begun within g. few days. John
G.. Milburn Of counsel for the Fowler
investigating committee, when ques-
toned in Buffalo, said:
"Suits will be pressed Immediately
for the return of money. L shall return
to New York at once. There will be no
delay in prosecuting the actions.

entirely in the hands Of the district at
torney.
"Clear Mccall? MOI
The report that Hamilton has re-
turned to this country to do everything
in his power to clear John A. Mccall s
name is discredited by the New York
Life trustees. They pointed out that
the Fowler committee urged him to re-
turn before McCall's death, but that
he did not. One of Hamilton s friends
gave it as his opinion that the judge
would not make any sensational disclo
sures relative to his experiences. This
man pointed out that Hamilton is or
record in black and white as denying
absolutely that penny Of the money
he received was spent for illegal o.
improper purposes. After having made
such statement, any disclosures tt
the contrary would be putting lie il
his own mouth. This man added sig
nifcant, however:
"Mr. Hamilton will be amply able tt
take care Of himself in any situation
that may arise. -
The New York Life trustees do not
believe Hamilton can do any harm tx
them.

$50 to $40 month, the salaries Of
four colored cloak room men, whose du-

FOR THE AGED CLERKS
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, March s-There will be
a provision in the executive, legislative
and judicial appropriation bill provid-
ing that after 1913 all government
clerks reaching the age Of 70 years
shall be dismissed from the service.
This provision is intended to act as
a seven-year warning to the old clerks
now in the government service. During
the next seven years scale of pay has
been arranged for the old clerks. This
scale prohibits the payment of more
than $1,4OO a year to any clerk IS
years or over; $1,000 to any clerk GO
years or over. aud $s4o to any clerk 70
years of age or over. Among the first
to be affected by this legislation will
| be the veterans of the civil war, many
of whom are reaching the ages named
in the bill.
Efforts will undoubtedly be made to
strike out this provision, but Chairman
Tawney is sincere in his attempt to
prevent the accumulation of superan
nuated clerks.

The formal work OF making a state
takes times and care. First, Indian

of which delegate viii 60 to the con.
stitutional convention. The election of
delegates will be BY proclamation OF
the governor of Oklahoma and the sem

ritory, and the proclamation must be
made within six months of the day on
which the President signed the enabling
act. At the convention the delegates
must declare for their constituents that
they adopt the constitution of the
United States and formulate a state
constitution. The state constitution
must contain guarantees of religious
freedom and prohibit polygamy. The
proposed constitution is then to be SUBJ
mitted to the people of the territories
for ratification and at the same time
they will vote for state officers. The
results will be submitted to the pres

ENFORCE RESPONSIBILITY.

We quite agree with the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, when it says:
'1n the case of Mr.. Nipple of Phil
adelphia, who eschewed tobacco and
the Sunday papers. and who, like the
Pharisee of old, prayed publicly every
week, is, exhibited fragrant example
of criminally negligent board of bank
directors, who should be held respon-
sible for the shortage of the charitable
and accomplished defaulter who was
president of the Real Estate Trust
Company. 1t is no joke to be direc-
tor Of such company. 1t would have
been penny wise, to say the least, for
these directors to have met at least
once every year and learned to their
own satisfaction that Nipples plan for
making away with the funds was to
shift the collateral from one account
to another, to make it appear that GER
tain accounts with no collateral were
secured. That negligent bank directors
and examiners should be held financial
ly responsible for such shortcomings
is a good financial policy and not in
violation of the laws. When a bank
official INDUCES in the business of pro
noting he invites those who are legal
ly responsible for his financial deeds
to look into them very carefully. No
bank has a right to lend a dollar to
promoters who build cities out of
dreams and turn real estate into gold in
the alchemy of the Imagination. PRO
moters,' such as Nipple, Stensland and
others, who recall the land craze per-
iods of 1856 and 1872. have worked un-
told mischief to banking and financial
enterprises in this country. Realty |
booms' not infrequentiy are made ovcr !
into bombs which work a hardship for
which the bank dictatorship may be di.
rectly responsible"

NUTMEG" DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of Connecticut, in con.
vention assembled, handled the question
of public ownership of public utilities
somewhat gingerly, when they declared
for local option therein. That might
be called public ownership with string
to it. The New Haven "lournal and
Courier" tRep,l shows how London has
been committing herself more and more
thoroughly to that policy with the
result that the tax rate has been in,
creased materially; many large indus.
tries have removed their plants TO
smaller places, and taken their EN-
ployes along, leaving large amount
of untenansed property on the hands OF
owners This amounts to nearly 4
per cent Of all taxable property. about
double what it was four years ago,
when the experiment was first put into
practice.
