BECHTEL TO FACE JURY
TRIAL OF FORMER INSURANCE
COMPANY PRESIDENT MAY BE-
GINfWEEK FROM TOMORROW.

W. F. Bechtel, former president of
the Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company, will be the first one of
the former officials to be tried as the
result Of the recent grand jury investi-
cation of the local company s former
management. He will probably be
called upon to face a jury Wednesday
morning, Jan. 81. before. Judge John
Day Smith.
The Indictment upon which Mr.: Bech-
tel will probably be tried charges him
with appropriating to his own use $4,000
Of the funds of the company. He has
been arraigned on four other indict-
ments charging grand larceny in the
first degree and one alleging the giving
of bribe to former State Insurance
Commissioner Elmer E. Dearth. The
result of the first trial probably will de
termine whether or not Mr.. Bechtel will
be brought to trial on the other counts
against him.
The second of the insurance cases will
probably be that against Elmer E
Dearth on a charge of receiving bride

CHARGES REVIVED
AGAINST PIERCE
Old Controversy Against the Prob
able Minister to Norway
Is Reopened.
Rxw w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Since the an
nouncement of the presidents intention
to appoint Herbert HI. D. Peirce, first
minister to Norway, an old controversy
between himself and Judge Embrey OF
Kentucky, over fees for prosecutions OF
a claim against the Russian govern
merit, growing out of the seizure OF a
sealing vessel, has been revived in the
shape of charges by the gentleman
named sent to the president thru Sen,
ator Foraker and transmitted to the
state department for report.
Embrey states that Peirce, while sec
rotary of legation at st. Petersburg, of.
9ered to assist him in the prosecution of
the claim against the Russian govern
ment. The claim was paid, the award
amounting to about $4,000. Peirce put
in claim for one-third of the award,
but he and Embrey could not agree to
settle on that basis, Peirce. finally get
ting out an injunction against the sec
payment of the award to Embrey. The
matter was finally adjusted out Of
court.
An investigation by state department
officials showed that the charges of Of
fetal misconduct on Peirce's part are
without foundation. His connection
with the case was with the full appro
val of Mr.. Hay, then secretary, ano
that approval is a part of the depart
ment records.
Other charges have to do with the
purchase Of furniture for the rooms IL
which the Russo-Japanese peace ENJOYS
met at Portsmouth. At the depart
ment it was said these charges were
without the slightest foundation.
The dismissal Of these charges leads
to the inference that when the proper
time comes Mr. Peirce will be ap
pointed minister to Norway, if he cares
to take it. The house committee o:
foreign affairs is now framing the di
plomatic and consular appropriation
bill and indications are that while tn,
new office Of minister to Norway will
be created, the salary recommended b,
the secretary Of state may be cut t.
$500. No appointment will be mad
until the appropriation bill becomes
law, which will not be for month o
more.

CHANGES IN RATE BILL
Maximum Rate to Stand for Lin

Washington, Jan: 24.-The fact that
the Hepburn bill, in substantially the
form in which it will 90 to the house,
is the Dolliver-Clapp bill pending in
the senate committee, shows how near
together the leaders in both houses
have come to be on this great question.
In essence the bill empowers the in
terstate commerce commission, on hear
ing, after a complaint is made, to fix a
reasonable maximum rate, The private
car and terminal questions are thoroly
covered. The commission is to be COM
posed Of seven members. Provision
is made for a test Of the legality Of
the commission IS rates in the courts.
Changes Are Made.
The most significant change is the
abandonment Of some Of the most dras-
tic features Of the original Esch- Town
send bill, notably the provisions of that
measure fixing a fiat rate to remain in
definitely, and the adoption in its stead
of the plan for a maximum rate to
stand for limited period.
The amended bill also provides for
seven members Of the interstate com:
| merce commission instead of nine, as
| was provided in the original Hepburn
| bill. Another amendment incorporated
| at the request Of the democrats pro
| vldes that IN cases where no damages
are asked the commission may Simply
state its conclusions and need not sci
forth its findings.
A section Of the Davey bill requiring
that the attorney general in appealed
| cases shall file the certificate necessary
to expedite the hearing was incorpor
ated in the amended bill. Anothel
amendment provides that orders Of til,
commission shall continue in force fo1
/ three years unless repealed.

by the bill. and all laws relating4~t t,
witnesses and the conducting Of hear
ings before the commission are to b,
