AMENDMENTS TABLED
Daniels and Lid Toilette Provisions Re
tired in the Senate.

Washington, May 14.-The rate-bill
consideration in the senate began today
with a request from Senator Daniels
to modify his amendment, which was
under consideration when the senate
adjourned Saturday. Mr.. Daniels said
he simply wished to perfect his amend
ment to provide that evidence properly
before the commission shall not be du-
plicated before court.
The amendment, Mr.. Daniels said,
was intended to meet an evil pointed
out by the supreme court OF the United
States and prevent the railroad from
withholding its case from the commits
sion with the purpose of presenting its
evidence subsequently to the court.
. =, La Toilette Frosted. Too.
Senator La Toilette offered a substi
tute which made additional evidence
produced before a court available fol
ten days to the commission, that the
commission might, if desired, modify
it's order.
On motion of Senator Hale the sub
stitute was laid on the table. Mr.. Hale
then moved to lay the Daniels amend
ment on the table, which was done
without rollcall. Another amend
ment was offered by Mr.. Daniels max
ing it necessary to bring suits on ap
peal within thirty days after the rul
ing of the commission.
Senator Morgan presented substi
tute which included, besides the thirty
day requirement, a provision for a jury
trial in certain contingencies.

HOLDS FOR STATE IN
INSURANCE CUSTER

Washington, May 14.-Justice Peck
ham today delivered the opinion of the
supreme court of the United States in
the case of the Travellers Life Insur-
,ance company VS.. the insurance COM
missioner of Kentucky in favor of the
state.
The case involved the constitution
ality of the state law authorizing the
revocation of permits given to foreign
insurance companies to do business in
the state when such companies remove
to the federal courts cases brought
against them in the state courts. The
court held that such law covers a
right which a state may properly exer-
else.
Justice Peckham said that state
may refuse to permit an outside COM
pany to do any business whatever with
in it's borders. He, therefore, held that
the state law is not in conflict with the
federal constitution. Justice Day read
Harlan concurred.

which had broken from it's cage, curled
it's trunk about che savage little beast,
slammed it on deck and then trampled
it to death. A wolf jumped overheard
and a hyena, which assaulted a polar
bear, has now much less fur, but much
