PLAN INSURANCE L1WS.
Suggestions from Special Committee
of Bar Association.

Omaha, Aug. 13.-The report of the COM
mittee on insurance laws OF the American Bar
Association. to be submitted TO the convention
OF the association in st. Paul on August % was
made public to-day by Ralph w Breckenridge,
Of Omaha, chairman of the committee The re-
port makes the following recommendations:
That the insurance committee be directed 10
draft and report to the next annual meeting Of
the association a bill that shall safeguard the
interests of the life companies and their policy
holders but which shall require deferred divi-
bends on life policies 10 be biennially appOr-
toned, credited and certified 10 the holders OF
such policies
The repeal of the so-called reciprocal or retail
atory tax laws.
The repeal of the valued policy laws.
The creation in each state Of the office Of fire
marshal.
Stricter Incorporation laws in the several
states with particular reference to the capitai
stock and stockholders obligations in insurance
companies
The enactment OF federal statute forbiddirg
the use Of the mails TO persons, associations CO.
partnerships or corporations conducting anv
kind OF insurance business in the United States
who are not licensed TO transact such business bv
the states where such persons, associa lions, CO.
partnerships or corporations are domiciled or I'M
der whose laws any such corporations are
created.
The enactment of a federal statute providing
for the supervision of interstate transactions in
insurance
Appended to the report is a copy of a bill
proposed for enactment by Congress to establish
IN the Department OF Commerce and Labor a
bureau OF insurance.
After giving figures to show the immensely of the
insurance business in the United States the report
says:
More people are therefore concerned with insur-
anCe than with any other institution OF modern life
and the public interest in insurance is intense But
the almost universal ignorance with regard 10 n
and the principles upon which 1t is based has made
DRY but actually destructive in it's tendency a
greater menace TO the interests OF the polcvhOId-
ers than they have suffered through the misjudg-
ment and dishonesty OF company officials and the
Incompetence or unfaithfulness characteristic OF
the majority OF the state insurance departments
The most conspicuous exhibition Of legislative
unwisdom is found In the bills prepared by the
Armstrong committee and passed by the New York
Leg1slature-the most conspicuous because Il has
had the widest advertisement and because OF the
things which the committee might have done but
failed do and its ignorance of the subject con-
fessed.
or state insurance departments the report says:
The trouble IS that the state insurance depart
ments sinecures. They are political prizes
Knowledge Of the insurance business is the last
thing required. They mere collection agencies
They offer the most seductive opportunities for
fraud and graft that exist in the United States

DEMOCRATS NAME REPUBLICAN.
Surprise Sprung at Congress Convention in
Cumberland County, Penn.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribunel

Carlisle, Penn, Aug. ia surprise was sprung
to-day at the Cumberland County Democratic
convention in the naming OF John Lindner,
successful shoe manufacturer and a lifelong Re-
publican. as Democratic Congress nominee to op-
pose Martin z. Olmstead. present Congressman
from this district. a wealthy corporation lawyer
and leader in the present House
This district is usually Republican but the
Democrats think the expected anti-machine vote
in Pennsylvania this fall will make Lndner a
winner. Lindner has manufactured shoes here
for twenty years and is about fOrty-five years
old. Olmstead's friends contend that Lindner's
inability TO get the Lincoln party Endorsement
will keep him out OF the running. This district
is composed OF Dauphin, Lebanon and Cumber-
