$1,000 KILLS
TWO BILLS
HOW THE PR0VIDENT TRUST
)~SIDETRACKED LEGISEATlON

philadelphia, Jan. Samuel n
,shipley, retiring president Of the Prov
ldent Life and Trust Co., of Philadel-
phia, in speaking today of the rumors
emanatlng from New York about tn,
manner i'm which the affairs of the
Provident Co. have been conducted
admitted that the company had en-
ployed counsel TO have unfayorable
bills killed.
Mr. Shipley said:
"The Provident Life and Trust Co.
paid last year to Marlin Il. Olmsted
one of the leaders of the Harrisburg
bar and a United States congressman
$500 for using his influence to have
two unfaVorable insurance bills bur-
led In committees II also has paid for
a number of years a salary OF $1,000
outside of his regular commissions to
William NJ. Scott, one of its agents
for staying in Harrisburg while the
Legislature has been in session, look
ing out for bills that might affect the
company and having them killed.
Last year two bills came up In the
legislature which we recognized as un-
favorable to the interests Of our com
pany. One concerned the right Of
policy holders to vote and the other
bill declared that insurance companies
should not be permitted to invest
their funds in the stock or bonds Of
any corporation whose stock or bonds
might be held by any officer Of the in
surance company.
'The bill was technically drawn up,
so I thought 1t best to have a lawyer
look after this bill.
II went to Mr.. Olmsted and told
him about It. | said You have infu-
ence with the legislators and thought
you might be able to convince them
these bills are unfair
"Mr. Olmsted said. You wish to re-
tain me then?' and | told him did.
Nothing more was said until the leg
islature adjourned. In the meantime
the bills died I'm committee Mr.. Ohm
sted sent me his bill for $4,000 The
company paid 1t and that ended the
matter"
Mr. Shipley declared this action was
taken solely for the benefit of the poll
icy holders In the Provident Co. ana
that not cent Of money had been
paid to legislators.
"Mr. Olmsted and Mr. Scott are
gentlemen of the highest integrity"
he said. 1T was known to them that
this company would not tolerate the
payment of a single So bill to a leg
lslator and ! am sure that what they
did was entirely above board and le-
climate"

Castro's failure to recognize the
French charge at Caracas on New
Years day will not be allowed TO pass
unnoticed by the French governments
At the request of the French govern
ment, Mr.. Russell, the American min
ister at Caracas, will make to Presi
dent Castro vigorous and what may
prove to be final representations. The
French governments position is that
1t has exhibited sufficient patience in
its attitude toward President Castro
and the time is near at hand when
action must be substituted for word
unless President Castro changes his
attitude. So far as is known here,
the latest representations TO Presi-
dent Castro do not include a time linn
it, and therefore cannot be termed an
ultimatum in the strict sense of the
word, but they leave no doubt about
the serious intention of the French
government and are of a more vigo-
rous tone than any that have preced-
ed Meantime the French fleet is in
the West Indies awaiting the turn Of
events. A conference between Mr..
Root and M. Jusserand, the French
ambassador is scheduled for this
week, by which time the hope is ex"
pressed here that the answer Of Pres
ident Castro will have been received
and France will be enabled 20 shape
her course accordingly.

Washington, Jan. S--The senate
gave attention to the Panama capaIg

The canal question came up in con-
nection with a message from the pres
ident in which, among other things
he invited the CLOSETS scrutiny int
all that had been done BY the gov
ernment in the Isthmus of Panama.
Mr.. German made that utterance the
text for a speech in which he criti-

the president was not SO much to
blame as congress for his assumption
of control ON the isthmus and that
the chief mistake had been made
when congress released its hold upon
canal affairs. Mr.. Hale agreed with
Mr.. German in urging the assertion
of the rights of congress in connec-
tion with the canal and said that
while congress had delegated the mat
ter TO the president the latter prac-
tically had referred the whole mat
ter back to congress.
The Dominican discussion arose on

Friends Declare Amendments WI Be
Shut 0ut--~Date Of Report UncertAn.
UNCLE JOE CANNON STRUGGLES
TO ENFORCE PARTY DISCIPLINE

Washington, Jan. S.--The repubH-
Mans in the house who oppose the pro-
\ posed Joint statehood bill, have devel-
oped such strength that the date of
! the favorable report Of the committee
on territories on the measure is uncer-
tain and many members do not ex-
I pect to have the bill brought before
the house early this week, as was orig-
inally planned.
The insurgent republicans allege
they have 10 republican votes against
the proposed rule preventing the
Iamendment of the joint statehood
measure. AS the democrats VIII vote
solldly against such a rule it has been
reported that the rules committee Will
not attempt TO prevent the amendment
OF the bill. The friends of joint
statehood do not admit that is repub-
lcans will join in the attempt to
amend the bill and insist that the
committee on rules will have no hes
itation in submitting 4 rule preventing
amendments.
Speaker Cannon and his associates
in support Of the administration poli-
Cy are eXertng every effort to enforce
party discipline. The endorsement Of
joint statehood by the republican
caucus and tha position Of the prcsi-
cent ln,faYor Of the proposition as tt
viii be presented In the Hamilton bill
are being urged as imperative reasons
FOR presenting a solid party front on
the question.
The most ardent supporters Of
joint statehood win admit that the
movement to amend the Hamilton bill
and thus get separate consideration
of the admission Of oklahoma and In
dian territory, and the admission Of
rizona ana New Mexico is stronger
than was expected, but refuse 10 cou-
cede more than 40 republican votes
against the rule preventing the
amendment of the Hamilton bill.

HAS GHOST OF 4 SHOW
TO GET THROUGH SENATE

Special TO the Morning Journal
Washington Jan. S.-AThe chances
OF the senate Passing the statehood
bill in some farm appear brighter
than ever today. The statehood pro-
gram Of the house committee on ter
ritories tomorrow is for the sub-com-
mittee to report to the fun commit
tee, the latter to report the omnibus
statehood bill to the house either
Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday. In
that event there is considerable likeli-
hood of a vote on the measure In the
lower house before a week or ten days
goes by. The way things. look at
present the committee or the house
IS quite likely 20 adopt the Foraker
amendment, which provides for a
scrarate vote by Arizona on the ques-
tlon Of joint statehood. Should that
be the case the senate will probably
pass the bill In some form.
