IN THE HOUSE,
Army Appropriation Bill Reaches
Point for Amendments.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Thc House of
Representatives refused to adjourn/ in
celebration Of WashinSton'S birthday
ana its members participated in a gen.
eral field day of debate on the army
appropria ton bill.
The speeches took wide range.
First the system Of promoting and re-
firing army officers was attacked by
Mr.. Prince, Ills, WHO elected many in
tcrjccted comments from members in
disapproval OF the methods for which
the President and Senate are RESPONSE
bic and which he pointed out has re-
suited i'll retired list costing yearly
100000 consisting of officers, who, he
said. were holding the flag with one
hand while the other was in the treas
ury for money that had never been
earned.
An exhaustive discussion of ship
subsidy was made by Mr.. Gilbert, Ky,
who declared the American merchant
marine is now the first of any nation
and included the 1856 Morgan ships I'M
der the British and German flags. In
case of war. he said, their only pro-
lection would be the United States
wherein belonged their owners and the
capital invested.
Mr.. Clark Of Florida made speech
against the House organization and
was replied to by Mr.. GrOsvenor of
Ohio.
Mr.. Kcifcr Of Ohio commended the
army bill. but condemned the general
staff system. He also replied to
speeches by Democrats on that meas
ure and on immigration. tariff and
subsidy.
The day concluded with Il lively dis
cussion Of the Payne customs houses
bill.
General debate on the army bill was
exhausted and that measure will be
read for amendment when the House
meets tomorrow.

The syndicate operations of the Equi-
table and James H. Hyde and the re-
lations between the society and Kuhn.
Loeb & Co. as brought out in testi-
mony before the committee are re-
ferred to at considerable length. as is
The sJ0,000,000 Union Pacific pool under
the management Of E. H. Hartman,
Jacob H. Schiff and James Stillman.
Participation in this pool by the Equi-
table, the committee holds, was clear
ly an improper transaction for an in
surance company.
Former Gov. Odell's shipbuilding suit
against the Mercantile Trust Co,
which was settled by that company, is
considered the committee holding that
the circumstances Of the introduction
Of the Amber bill might have been
sufficient to induce that settlement on
the part of the officers of the trust
company through fear that proceedings
ininical to its interests might be TAX
EN- If those who could initiate them
were not appeased.
The committees report contains a
full statement of loans made to E. II.
Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. by
the Equitable. the committee holds,
was lot warranted, the testimony as
to the service rendered by Senator
Depew not appearing to be sufficient
for such payment.
The committee also sets forth that
it does not appear what services were
rendered by Former Senator Hill, who
was paid $4,000 a year. In justice to Mr..
HILL the committee says. it was not
able to get his testimony upon this
subject, as he was too i'll 10 appear.
The committee finds that in spite Of
the irregularities shown there is no
reason to question the solvency of the
Mutual Life Insurance Co, the New
York Life Insurance Co., nor the
nor the Equitable Life Assurance So
cicty.

7. Adam Bedc and Charles A. Towne as

George T. Page. president Of tho Hi
nois Bar Association, WAS toaStmastcr.
Mr. Lawson, after thanking the club
for the happy way in which it had
smoothed away MISUNDERSTANDING
which arose between him and the organ
ization, led up to the subject of the in
surance conn anics and the System" with
a review of the political upheaval in va
rious parts OF the United States.
Mr. Lawson referred to the faialure of
the Devlin properties in Kansas and to
the REGULATIONS of Bank President Bigc-
low of Milwaukee as system represent
atives who stubbed their toes while spec
ulating with other persons money in thu

THE RATE PROBLEM.
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit.
tee Will Settle Il Today.

Washington, Feb. 22.-What the
members of the Senate committee on
interstate commerce will do when they
face a vote on the court review fea-
ture Of a railroad rate bill tomorrow
is a question that tonight is provok-
ing unlimited speculation and a wide
variance in predictions. The. Demo-
cratic members of the committee hold
the kew to the situation but at a con-
ference tonight they were unable to
agree. When they adjourned to meet
tomorrow. they favored sending the
bill to the Senate floor without a re-
port of any character. The conserva-
tive Republicans declared they would
win with an amendment and Senators
Dolliver and Clapp continued their
stand against amendments.
The introduction today by Senator
Knox of a railroad rate bill containing
n feature of court review seemed to
clarity the situation for a time. The
conservative faction of the committee,
consisting Of Senators Elkins, Aldrich,
Foraker Kean and Crane, was ready
TO accent this feature and they held a
conference at which it was agreed to

Recommends Eight Bills for Remedy
ing Alleged Insurance Evils.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 22--The long-cx-
pected report OF the special joint COM
mittee appointed seven months ago by
the New York Legislature to inquire
into the business Of life insurance as
carried on by the companies doing bus
mess in this state, was presented in
both houses of the Legislature soon af-
ter noon today; in the Senate by SEN
ator Armstrong, chairman of the COM
mittee, in the Assembly by Assembly
by Assemblyman Rogers. the senior
member Of the committee. Accompany
ing the report were eight bills, embody-
ing the recommendations of the COM
mittee with the exception of the pro-
posed standard forms Of policies, which
are TO be handed in in a supplementary
report.
After considerable discussion, it
was decided to have a public hearing
on the bills on March 9. before the in
vcstigating committee itself. This will
be the only hearing.
OF the eight bills accompanying the
report, one comprising about 1900
words embodies a general overhauling
of the insurance law
1t extends to all employees of the
state insurance department the re-

Knox Railway Rate Bill
introduced in Senate.
House OeVotes the Day to the
Army Appropriation Bill.
Both Branches Decline 10 Adjourn on Ac.
count Of Washingion's Birthday.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Mr. knoX's
much-discuSscd and lOng-eXpected rate
bill was introduced in the Senate to-
day and because of the exceptional in
terest i'll the subject was accorded the
unusual privilege of reading at
length for the information of senators
on the day Of Introduction. Close at
tentiOn was given to the reading of the
bill. In a brief statement Mr.. Knox
said that he did not hope to have the
committee on interstate commerce do
more than consider the bill as afford
ing light on the question of court re-
view of the findings of the interstate
commerce commission.
Mr.. Foraker gave notice of speech
for next Wednesday on the rate queS-
ton.
The remainder of the day was devot-
ed to listening to the reading of Wash
ingtOn's farewell address by Mr.. Nc
Crearry and the consideration of the
haZing bill. Recent developments at
the Naval Academy were discussed at
considerable length and the hazing bill
was passed just before adjournment.
The bill gives authority to the sec
time a midshipman whose presence he
considers for any cause contrary to the
best interests Of the service. but the
accused has the right to demand a
court martial. It repeats the existing
law requiring the dismissal of mid
shipmen found guilty Of haZinS: gives
authority for courts martial for haZing
under certain conditions and authorizes
graduation sentences under the acts OF
June 23. 1874. and of March 8. 1909: re-
quires all instructors and officers at
the Naval Academy to report offences
to the superintendent and defines haz-
ing as "the unauthorized assumption
of authority by one midshpman over
another"
1t had been expected that Mr.. Dick
would conclude his statehood speech.
but he did not find opportunity to do
so.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.

Is Evidently Afraid to
ace the Music.
Station Agent McCabe, Con-
Cerned in a Train Wreck
Near Bolton, VI, Accused Of kispIacing
Switch and Skips 10 Canada.

st. Adams, VT. Feb. 22.-patrick +.
McCabe, the station agent ut the Boil
ton station of the Central Vermont
IA ilroad, who left this city yesterday
rather than testify at a railroad hear
ing, was located today at st. Arnnd,
Cue, just over the border line dividing
the United States and Canada.
McCabe, who was station agent at
Bolton and in whose district the New
England States Limited Express train
was wrecked Jan. Is, was accused of
being responsible for the misplaced
switch which derailed the express. His
acCuSer was Louis Blair, q young boy
OF Bolton. Blair told the investigating
commissioners that he saw McCabc set
the switch against the train and then
fix he light on the switch indicating
a clear track.
McCabe was called upon to testify.
but he declined to answer several ques-
tons on the ground that the answers
might incriminate him. He Was or
dorcd to appear at the hearing yester-
day and the police say they We're ready
to arrest him because Of his alleged re-
spOnsibility in the matter.
When the hearing was resumed Nc
cabe did not put in an appearance and
the authorities. suspecting that he
might attempt to escape, planned to
head him off before he could reach
Canada. McCabe. however. succeeded
in evadiHg his pursuers and early to-
day he reached st. Armand. Several
officers who We're following the fugi-
tive reached the town short time lat
er, but McCabc made no further at
tempt to evadc them.
Sheriff Norton went to st. Armand
during the morning and he will make
All effort to have McCabe held by the
Canadian authorities until eXtradition
proceedings can be perfected.
Sheriff Norton had with him warrant
charging McCable with perjury at thI
hearing before the railroad commission
ers' hearing and with misplacinG tho
switch, thereby causing the wreck of the
express train"
The warrant was issued by Judge Now
or of the Burlington city cour. at the
request CT States Atty. A. l.. Sherman
