RELATIVES IN A DUEL.
Chicago Druggists Exchange Shots
Both May Die.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Two druggists
who are brothers-in-law engaged in a
duel today at Twenty-fifth and Wallace
streets and both are in critical con-
dition and may die. The principals in
the affair were Herman o. Luckritz,
80 years of age, and John Farmer, %
years old.
Farmer is the brother of Mrs. Luck
ritz who has recently commenced di-
vorce proceedings. In company with
his sister, Farmer called at the Luck
ritz home today to obtain the clothing
and other property of Mrs. Luckritz.
When the couple were seen by Luck
ritz he opened fire with a revolver,
shooting Farmer through the mouth.
While lying on the floor Farmer drew
a revolver and fired three times at
Luckritz, one bullet taking effect in
the right hand and two in the abdo-
men. Both knen were taken to the
Peoples hospital, where 1t was dis
covered that the death of Luckritz Is
certain and that of Farmer probable. +

INVESTIGATION MADE
PUBLICLY COMMITTEE

New York, Feb. 22.-The report of
the joint committee of the senate and
assembly of the state of New York,
appointed to investigate the affairs of
life insurance companies, covers
printed pamphlet of 319 pages. After
reciting the resolution authorizing the
work and the plan adopted for the in
vestigation by the committee, each in
dividual company Is passed in review.
Scores Mutual Companies.
The committee recommends that
article ii. of the insurance law be SO
amended as to permit the formation
Hereunder of mutual stock corpora
tions without capital stock to tran
sact life insurance business, provided
at least that 500 persons have SUBJ
scribed 100000 to be insured upon
their lives, and shall have each paid
in one full annual premium in cash.
On the subject of the so-called mutual
companies the committee scores their
organization as being fertile sources
of evil lin administration and recon-
mends that at least five months prior
to each election, lists of policy holders
having at least 81 1000 of insurance in
force giving the names and addresses,
but not the amount of insurance,
should be filed with the superintendent
of insurance, and similar lists should
be open to inspection at the home
Office of the corporation and at the
general agencies. The voting should
be limited to those who may have been
insured at least one year before the
election, ard whose policies are still
in force when the election is held.

BY e. C. Snyder.


Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-Those
familiar with the situation express
great confidence that the shipping bill
will pass the house at the present ses-
sion. 1t was sent to the house with
almost a solid vote of the republican
senators in its favor. In some re-
spects it is unfortunate that the Demo-
Gratis by voting unitedly in opposition
practically made the bill a party
measure. This considerably enhances
its prospects of success, but it was
hoped that it would be regarded as
non-partisan proposition, especially as
the bill as originally drawn and by
reason of various amendments adopt
ed to its passage favors the south to
a large extent. The republican party
in several national conventions has
endorsed such legislation and the bill
having been drafted by joint COM
mission of the two houses and being
supported by the president, vice-presi-
dent and cabinet, it would appear
highly improbable that the house will
fail to pass it. Of course everything
depends on the attitude of Speaker
Cannon, but those who profess to
know the views of the speaker say
that the amendments to the bill modi-
fed it SO that it will meet with his
approval. The speaker is credited
with having been particularly hostile
10 the proposition in the bill to give
the American Line $250,000 a year
which provision was stricken out. 1t
is possible he may desire some addi-
tional notifications, but it is antici-

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 22.-The report
CT the Armstrong special insurance in
vestigating committee was presented
in both houses of the legislature to-
day. 1t was accompanied by eight
bills designed to carry into effect in
detail the recommendations of the
committee. Mr.. Armstrong asked leave
for the committee to submit supple
mental report which will contain the
proposed forms of the Standard Life
Insurance policies to be prescribed by
law.
In a statement made to the news
paper men before the presentation of
the report, Senator Armstrong said
he hoped to have passed before April
Is, a bill which will defer the annual
elections in mutual companies from
April Is to November Is. This, it is be-
lieved, probably would nullify all
proxies obtained up to this time by
Thomas w. Lawson and the policy
holders committee of state governors
and others, as we'll as those which the
management of companies themselves
have been gathering through their
agents.

carry much weight with the Iowa
members in the house., The Hoosier
state is one of the few republican
states where ship subsidy is bitterly
fought. This seems to rise from the
fact that the newspapers confuse the
Iresent bill with the old Hanna
Payne subsidy bill, which would have
given great deal of money to one or
two steamship lines. Senator Hemen-
way was rather in doubt as to his
vote on the bill, but the business in
terests of his state who favor the bill
because it promises to be the means
OF developing our commerce with
South America, Africa and Australia
and afford a market for considerable
quantity of Indiana manufactures,
flooded Mr.. Hemenway with petitions.
Vice-president Fairbanks has long
been a pronounced friend of shipping
legislation, and in quiet manner did
much to aid the passage of the bill.
In addition, Senator Beveridge took a
decided stand for the measure, SO
that Senator Hemenway felt justified
in casting his vote for it and lined up
with the vice-president and his COL
league, Senator Beveridge, in support
of one of the projects fathered by the
administration. Those who have made
a study of shipping legislation agree
that this is by far the fairest, most
carefully drawn and most economical
kind of bill ever presented to con-
gress, and say that if it should fail
it will be many years before another
attempt is made to revive our Ameri-
can shipping.

THE SHIPPING BILL UP
TO JUNGLE JOE,S" MERCY

pated there will be no trouble in
changing the bill to suit his views.
AS far as known, all the leaders of
the house favor the bill. Representa-
tive Grosvenor was a member of the
commission which drafted it and is
chairman of the committee which will
consider it; Representative Dalzell,
the other republican member of the
committee on rules, is heartily in
favor of the bill, as is Representative
Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee and the other lead
ers. In view Of these facts it is not
regarded as likely that Uncle Joe,"
who has been so active in crushing
instructions in the house, will put
himself in the attitude of an "insur-
gent" and undertake to defeat prop
osition supported by the alministra-
tion and practically solid republican
vote in the senate.
The New England states are practi-
cally solid for the bill, which senti-
ment extends through New York, New
Jersey. Maryland, Pennsylvania and
into Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, while
the Pacific slope Is unit on the prop
osition. There is some opposition in
the middle western states, but it is
expected that this will be overcome
The vote Of Senator Allison, cast in
favor of the bill, is regarded as a high
mark Of confidence. Senator Allison
has voted against ship subsidy prop
ositjons heretofore, but he made
careful study of this measure and sug-
gested a number of amendments and
voted for it. This fact is expected to
