BENCH PLACE FOR TAFT
Justice Bro1cn's Seat offered to Him
By the President.
From The Tribune Bureau, +,

Washington. March 9.--An appointment to
the Supreme Court vacancy occasioned by the
retirement of Justice Brown has been offered to
Secretary Taft. He now has II under considera-
tion and is listening to the divided counsel of
his friends as to accepting declining it, If he
declines, the appointment will probably go to a
Pennsylvanian
ThUse of Secretary Taft's friends who advise
him to decline the appointment base their sug-
gestion upon these grounds:
Ffrst-That ne is a possible candidate for
President and of course his acceptance of
place on the Supreme bench would remove Jlim
from that field.
Second-Ee is charged with the duty Of start
ing the Panama Canal construction, and his sue
cessor in the office of Secretary of War would
have TO go anew the ground he mas
traversed. and learn from practice the expert
he has gained.
Set off against these considerations is the fact
that Secretary Taft's ambition for years had
been place on the bench of the court of last
resort In recent years his friends have rather
thought that he would be made chief justice
when he should enter the court. and did not ex-
pect he would take rank below Justice Harlan
and Justice Brewer. as would be the case If he
enters
Secretary Taft's closest friends say that the
consideration which really has more weight with
him on the side of a possible declination of the
appointment is the state of the work on the Pan
anna Canal. He has been criticised for condi-
tions on the isthmus. and is said to have a
strong desire to keep at his post until he has
overcome all criticism and put the canal work
on the basis contemplated by the President and
himself.
The possibility of nomination for President
is said TO appeal more strongly to his friends
than to his own ambition

THv Telegraph TO The Tribunel
Albany. March 9.-At public hearing which
lasted far into the night the Armstrong lnsur-
ance Committee and many interested members
of both houses of the Legislature listened to-day
TO the storm of objections which insurance COM
panies and agents have raised against the pro-
posed reforms in the insurance laws. IL was the
first public hearing granted the reform bill, and
it will probably be the last.
Ninety-six insurance companies. domestic and
foreign, were represented in some way. many
by both presidents and actuaries. The life in
surance agents came to Albany on two special
trains, one from New-York and one from Buff
faIo and. six hundred strong. applauded their
spokesman as he made what they characterized
bread and butter rfea.s-
Just what effect the public hearing will have
on the proposed legislation no one can say to-
night 1t is evident that the members of the
Armstrong committee have been set thinking on
many points. Notifications in behalf of the
comnanies are possible yet there is determina-
ton on the part of the men who investigated
insurance to stand by their report and its recon-
mendationS.
If is probable that the clause relating TO the
EXPENSE of new business. which strikes at the
income of practically every life insurance agent
in the state will be changed From the ques-
tions the members asked the agents representa-
tive in a long cross-examination. ii seemed likely
that an amendment in the agents favor was
likely The legislators were not permitted to
forget that the life insurance agent was pow
erfuI political force in this state. They were
told very early in the day that there were
eighteen thousand agents in the state, and that
every one of them had vote. They were told
further that life insurance agents had many
friends-indeed. must have friends. from the
nature of their business. From time TO time
during the hearing kilograms would come in.
They were from agents who were unable to be
present in person. and from friends of agents
asking that they receive more lenient treatment
The fight of the agents unquestionably the
feature of the hearing, and of the most
striking demonstrations Albany has this
session.
The hearing the ten reform bills in
troduced BY the committee ten days ago. which
are to be voted on either in their present or In
amended form before the end of the session. and
next The hearing held in the Assembly
chamber and began before a crowded house as
soon as the Assembly had adjourned for the
week.

There carefully arranged schedule which
saved much time and in a measure prevented

The presidents Of the big three"-Paul Nor
ton of the Equitable Alexander E. Orr of the
New-York Life and Charles A Peabody of the
Mutual-were the first speakers. The presidents
seemed to leave it 10 Mr.. Morton to outline their
chief objections and 10 the companies actuaries
to go into details and to furnish figures.
The abolition of the deferred dividend policy
seemed to bring forth more objections from the
companies than any other point. The provisions
relating to surplus and reserve were exceedingly
objectionable The companies also desired to
have the same latitude as heretofore in the mat
ter of investments. Many companies from out
side states joined in an emphatic protest
against the seeming intention of the committee
to saddle their general business with NewYorix
State reform laws or to drive them out of the
state They asserted that they would have to
leave NeW-1 Ofk II certain or the laWS paSSeO.
and hinted at retaliatory legislation from the
states which gave them their charters.
In the matter of new business and the limita-
ton of the expense of procuring ID. both the
companies and agents Joined arguments, and the
combined plea was a strong one. The agents
could not resist applauding obviously strong
points although Senator Armstrong informed
them several times that noise would have
effect on the final judgment as to the reform
hills There seemed to be some misunderstand-
ing and misinterpretatiOn. which the members
as they went along. The protests were uni
formIv presented without bitterness. and every
speaker took pains to praise the committee for
most of its work. They seemed 10 feel that the
mistakes in the bills would be righted by amend
ment before their passage or that they would
be corrected subsequently. Company representa-
tiyes said however. that they must regret the
massage of the bills with objectionable features
