A ERw weeks ago the judiciary COM
mittee of the House of Representatives
unanimously opposed the recommended
ton of President Roosevelt that the regu-
,ation of insurance be undertaken by the
federal government. The President stated
il WAS an interest 'clearly national In
character" it had ''onigrown the posi-
bility Of adequate State supervision" and
it was high time that the United StSles
should 1ollow the policy OF other ma
,ions" and undertake adequate nation
al supervision" of the insurance bust
ness. This paternalistic idea of the
President that the federal government
must step in to right all wrongs that 1t
is the special Junction of the states to at
tend to, was rejected by the judiciary
committee of the Senate, who unan-
imously reported that in their opinion
"the Congress is without authority
under the constitution TO supervise and
regulate" such business. The Presidents
like the man who convinced against his
will, is OF the same opinion still" and
his opinion of Congress is we'll known to
be something like his opinion of some of
the federal judges, which stated IN The

Duel.

Paris, July IL "A duel WAS ipught
today between Paul Casssgoac, jr.. and
Lieutenant Andre, son of General An.
Dire, former Minister of War, because of
quarrel which arose over reflection.
upon Paul CassacDac, ST.. contained in
the memoirs of General Andre. Count
Cassagnac asked Lieutenant Andre ii be
accepted the responsibility for his fathers
words and when he was assured that tha
Lieutenant would do so, he promptly
challenged him to duel. Lieutenant
Andre was wounded in the encounter
which took place today. -
The outcome of the dssl, in which
blood was actually shed, was something
unusual in French duels. Both combat
ants, however, entered the contest
6ercely, evidently determined to do alt
possible damage. The fight terminated
when Andre received a wound in the
arm. Cassagnsc's sword was broken.
during the encounter. The meeting
took place on private grounds at Neuilly..
Both Andre and Casssgnsc come of war;
like families. Paul Cassagnsc in his
day was one OF the most notostous duel-
lists in France. His son challenging
Lieutenant Andre was only following
in the footsteps of his father. General
Andre was minister of war from May
1900, until November 1904. He
was a participant in a disgrsceful scene
in the Chamber OF Deputies during
which be was struck in the face by a.
nationalist deputy, Gabriel Syveron. A
duel grew out of the affair, Captain Gall
meeting Syvetou for General Andre,
who was prevented from fighting in-hs
own behalf owing to his official position.
Two shots we're fired, but without effect.
