isLATivE COMMITTEE.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-The national con-
vention called to consider proposed re-
forms In the supervision OF life insur-
ance companies during the day turned
its attention to the subject OF uniform

ed to decide upon a report, which was
to be submitted to the convention later

committee on uniform legislation,
strongly supported by Commissioner
Preuitt of Kentucky, that the commit
tee adjourn to meet subsequent TO the
presentation OF the report OF the Arm
atronr committee seemed to meet
with general favor. The arguments
urged in favor of this line OF proce-
dure were that the report Of the Arm
strong committee will contain many
valuable suggestions relative to In
aurance reform and with these before
them the members OF the committee
could approve such portions as they
considered valuable and then, II sucf
