AMEs INSURANCE BILL.
House Judiciary Committee to Begin
Hearings on It Soon.

The judiciary committee of the House
will begin hearings in the near future on
the Ames model insurance bill Consider
able interest in the measure is evinced
around the Capitol, and 1t is probable that
some prominent insurance men will appear
before the committee.
Mr.. Ames' bill has the Endorsement OF
President Roosevelt, the insurance COM
missioners' convention and many insurance
officials 1t embodies many of the recon-
mendations of the Armstrong committee.
1t is urged in favor of the passage of the
bill that. being model measure, 1t would
have a decided effect for good all over the
United States, although its provisions only
apply to the District of Columbia, as, un-
less a company could do business here un-
der the Ames bill, 1t could not be said to
operate under the most satisfactory con-
ditions.

THE LoNGsHoREMEN's ISSUE.
Estimated That Fully 10000 Men
Have Quit Work.

DETROIT, Mich. May 2--Although the
presidents of the two powerful organizas
tions that have locked horns in labor dis
pute involving vessel traffic on the Great
Lakes both reside in Detroit, most of the
news of the shipping strike originates IN
other ports President William Livingstone
of the Lake Carriers Association has talked
quite freely and has given out the substance
of a number of kilograms he has received
regarding the progress of the strike, but
Daniel ]. Keefe, president OF the Long
shoremen. Marine and Transport Workers
Association under whose order 20, 900 men
have abandoned their work. has not as yet
broken a sphinx like silence II was through
President Livingstone of the Lake Carriers
that the first news was obtained that PresiA
dent Keefe had ordered the longshoremen TO
strike.
Dispatches from Lake Michigan and Laks
Erie ports indicate that there has been an
almost unanimous response among the local
unions to President Keefe's strike order. Il
is impossible, however, to get from the sic
lent officials of the union here even an este
mate Of the number of men out. but unoffi-
cial estimates set the figure at 20.000.
Situation at Other Points
DULUTH. MINI. May 1.-The marine
strike has thus far had effect IN Duluth
beyond the tying up of the tugs of the
Great Lakes Company None of the ore,
grain or nanuiers Is WIN
the longshoremen, and hence all boats are
loaded they come to the docks. Tho
channels in this harbor are such that by
exercising a little care boats can move
without tugs and this they are doing. The
effect of the strike will be felt here when
the boats fail to return from the lower
lakes.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. May At Is estf-
mated that about forty vessels are tied up
In Milwaukee today and that 800 men are
idle as result of the longshoremen's strike.
II the strike continues for any length OF
time more than 5000 men will have no
work to do. Many of the vessels now In
port. anticipating the strike. did not go into
commission at all this spring.
BUFFALO, N Y, May 2.-The strike OF
the longshoremen put an effective embargo
on Lake Erie commerce yesterday, and to-
day IL is expected traffic will stop at all
upper lake ports All unions affiliated with
the longshoremen either quit or made prep
aratfons to quit work. There are about
q. .OGO men idle. and that number VIII be
vastly increased when Industries dependent
upon lake commerce for supplies are com
PEELED to cease operations.

and obtaining his approval OF the designa-
ton OF Gen. Bates for the general super
vision OF the accounting in California, Sec
retary Taft asked Gen. Bates TO undertake
the work, and he consented to go to San

because of the extensive purchases and
great amount OF supplies contributed that
the supervision or an experienced officer
like Gen Bates 10 regarded as highly de-
sirRols.

REBUILDING PLANS.
Discussion at Conference Over Gov
orumeut Aid

SAN FRANCISCO. May 2.-At q confer
ance held last night at Gen. Greely's head
quarters plans for rebuilding the city of
San Francisco with government aid were
discussed. There were present besides
Gen Greedy. James D. Phelan, DR.. Edward
Devine. Mayor Schmitz and Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor MetcalL 1t was
thought Secretary Metcah might be able
to carry back to Washington a compre-
hensive idea OF the needs of this city and
the ideas OF some of her leading men that
the discussion was held.
No definite request was made nor was
any plan OF action fully outlined, but the
hope was expressed that the government
might be induced to back the city with a
bond issue of 500, ,00O, 600, or whatever sum
is needed In this manner 1t was pointed
out that San Francisco would be able to
get money at a reasonable rate, and with
cash on hand would accomplish in four or
five years what would otherwise require
fifteen or twenty years Of time and the
borrowing OF money at q high rate of
interest.
At the same time the immediate necessi-
ties of merchants and manufacturers were
discussed in a general way and an earnest
discussion was held regarding public In
stitutions.
No Eastern Architects Needed.
The state board OF architecture has ts-
sued a statement to the effect that the
rumor which has gained currency through
out the eastern states that architects were
needed in San Francisco was without foun-
dalton. The board claims that there are
over $50 certified architects and LOCO
draughtsmen in the state. Members Of the
board claim that not only are the pros
poets for immediate employment poor. but
that many of the incoming architects will
find it difficult to maintain themselves.
The handsome building of the San Fran
cisco Young Mems Christian Association
which was one of the largest in the coun-
try was totally destroyed by the recent
fire. No lives were lost and the home Of
General Secretary II. ]. Mccoy, ia Alpine
street, was not injured and is being used
as the headquarters of the association
They have also erected tent at the corner
of 18th and Market street and are prose-
cutting their work with great vigor.
