RICHARDsoN's BILL REPORTED TO
 THE SENATE.
No Doubt of Passage of the Measure Permitting Power Plants at Muscle Shoals on the Ten-

Washington, Jan. 25.-CSpecial. J. The Senate Commerce Committee today favorably reported without any change whatever the bill of Representative Richardson to authorize the construc- tion of dams and power stations on the Tennessee River at Muscle Shoals, Ala The measure was passed by the House last Monday. It will now pass the Senate as there is apparently no op- position.
 When it becomes a law any person, company or corporation having author ity therefor under the laws of Alabama may erect, maintain and use dam or dams in or across the Tennessee River in the State of Alabama, at such points at Muscle Shoals as they may elect between the mouth of Mallett's Creek, on the east and tho western line of sixteenth Township, Range Ten, on the west for the purpose of erecting, operating and maintaining power sta tion, and to maintain inlet and outlet race or canals, and to make such other inducements on the southern bank of the Tennessee River as may be neces- sary for the development of water power and the transmission for the same, subject always to the provisions and requirements of the act, and of the Secretary of War.
 The Southern Democratic members of the House voted solidly again today in opposition to the joint Statehood bill but the forces against them were increased by the further surrender of insurgent Republicans. Only three of the Southern Republican Representa- tlves opposed the regular House or ganization in the effort yesterday to vanquish the Rules Committee. They were Slcmp of Virginia and Mudd and Waehtcr of Maryland. Slemp lodged today but tho two Maryland men voted in loud voice against the eEtire bill.

Cleveland. O., Jan. 25.-At the con- clusion of the afternoon hearing of the investigation Into the Standard oil Companys method of doing business, inaugurated by tho State of Missouri, Attorney General Hadley of the latter State, who is conducting the examina- tion of witnesses. announced that suf- ficient evidence had been produced dur ing the day to warrant the bringing of criminal proceedings under the law of New York. Mir. Hadley said:
 Louis H. Turrell, the accountant Of Detroit, and for sVIne fourteen years an employe of the Standard oil Com pany, who had been on the stand all day, has given us the best exposure of Standard oil methods of anything which we have yet obtained. shall send 8 copy of his testimony to Dis trict Attorney Jerome of New York, with the request that 1t be thoroughly examined and that criminal proceed ings be brought against the parties guilty of causing false signature to be attached to articles of incorpora- tion.
 Induced to Sign Wrong Name. Mir Turrell has sworn here today" said the Attorney General, that he was induced by Standard oil interests 1 to sign the name of F. w. Turrel to the documents when in reality his name is Louis II. Turrell. He testimony further shows that the signature was never sworn to and the notary who took his affidavit can under tho laws of New York be prosecuted for forgery in the first degree"
 l At the afternoon session of the hear | ing the cross examination of Mir. Tur~
 rell was begun by Attorney Hagerman ] for the Standard oil Company. | In October, 1904, Mir. Turrell said. he l was notified that his services were no l longer needed, but for what reason he never knew.
 Mir. Turrell said he was somewhat l disappointed at being discharged but
 that he had no animosity against the l company. However, when he read of l the recent Standard OH nearing in New 1 York, he considered 1t his duty to of 4 fer his testiInony to MT Tfaoiey. and
 he communicated with the Attorney | General, who told him he would be glad | to hear his evidence. He came to Cleveland, he said, on Hadley's invita- l tion.
 MT Turrell said his expenses to | Cleveland had been guaranteed by MT
 Hadley. Mir. Hadley promptly corrob- | orated this statement by saying:
 And will make the guarantee
 good"

SON AND DAUGHTERS
 GATHER AT BEDSIDE
Too Weak to Speak, He Encourages
 Them by Signs.
As Yet It Has Not Been Decided Where Remains VIII Be Inferred, But Probably He VIII Be Buried In
 Arlington Cemetery.

New York, Jan. 25.-General Joseph wheeler. tho famous Confederate cav airy leader, and a Brigadter General of the United States Army since the war with Spain. died at 5:35 o'clock this evening at the home of his sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith, in Brooklyn. me veteran of two. wars was 6s years old but in spite of his age there was hope until yesterday from the attack or pnuemonia which caused his death.
 It has not yet been decided where the body will be inferred, but probably 1t will be in Arlington Cemetery, near Washington. Announcement of the plans for the funeral will be made to- morrow!
 General Wheeler was taken i'll six days ago at his sisters home, where he has been living recently. He contract ed a severe cold which developed into pleurisy and pneumonia. From the first his. age told against him, but the family did not give up hope until last night, when the disease was found to have affected both lungs.
 Relatives nt Bedside.
 General wheeler's immediate rela- tives were all with him. His daugh- teFs, Mrs W. J. Harris and the Misses Annie Lucille and Carrie Wheeler. had been summoned from the South and ar rived early in the week. His son Ma jor Joseph Wheeler Jr., U. ;. A., now stationed at West Point. was also pres ent, as well as General Wheeler's sis ter, Mrs. Sterling smith and her son.
 The family were summoned to the bed side, of the patient at midnight last night when the doctors in consultation decided that the end was but a matter of hours. The General was then awake and conscious. and his mind was apparently active He seemed to know that death was approaching, and, though too weak to speak. he succeed. ed in giving signs of recognition and encouragement to his children
 Later the General sank into q peace full. siuHber, and at the request of the doctors the family quietly withdrew from the sick mans bedside. General Wheeler was never again more than semi mi-conscious. He fingered until this evening and passed away quietly.

 ..The trouble is not in the administra . tion of the laws, but in their being or themselves economically bad
 q need not repeat that the country is urospering and likely so to continue. While fully appreciating these facts' we cannot shut our eyes to the troupie that has been going on in the center of our financial system. With most or what has been secured in violent denunation of anything and everything g in Wall Street, you and can have no sympathy, although, on the other hand, we must admit that much Is wronE there. Without pretending to any superior knowledge on the subject, but having given to 1t thought not oly or late but for years past, with respect to corporations generally, l think that the root of the evil lies in too few men hay ing undertaken to, manage too many corporations; that in so doing they have prevented the powers granted under corporated charters and in their hurry to do a vast business have in many cases done i'll.
 While the evil applies to corpora tion generally throughout the whol country, my meaning can perhaps. be best Illustrated by taking tho case ot the great life insurance companies of New York, the Mutual. the New York Life and the Equitable.

And to sum up, those 93 held forty three hundred and nine dircctorships m corporations which were sufficiently we'll known to be recorded in the directory above referred to.
 T admit that the intention of the state in granting corporate charters was that the directors of each corpora , ton should meet frequently, have full 1 knowledge of it's affairs, discuss then deliberately and then exercise the bes| Judgment of the whoie body.

Hon. ID. G. Mott returned Saturday
from a ten days trip in Oklahoma
where he visited at Tulsa, Oklahoma
City, ElReno, and Perry. He reports
that he found many Iowa people down
there, having been entertained at each
of these towns in the homes of former
Iowa people. Mr.. Mott says that
Tulsa is rapidly growing town OF

coal. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcintyre, she
daughter of Jesse Keith, live there
and are prosperous. Oklahoma City
has, perhaps, $1,000, and is a beauti-
full, progressive and np-to-date city.

The Fire Insuranee Companles nave

The Fire Insurance Companies have
been hard hit by the earthquake and
fire In San Francisco and adjoining
towns. Some OF them will probably
go under and others be badly crippled.
Many of the property owners will
lose all their insurance because OF u
clause In the policies issued saying
that II the building or any part OF II
shall fall before taking fire the policy
shall be OF no effect. And many suits
will undoubtedly follow because of
the uncertainty as to whether or not
certain buildings fell before or after
taking fire. We have been interested
