CRITICISES ~RR4NDEGEE.
Yale Professor Not Impressed by Reason
Given for Killing Philippine Bill.

New HAVEN, March 1G.-Prof. William
Beebe of the mathematical department at
Yale has made public the letter he sent
to United States Senator Brandegee of Con-
~neotiout recently, in which the professor
requested the Senator to write to his friends
at Yale and explain to them his attitude
on the Philippine tariff, which has been
tabled in the Senate committee.
Prof. Beebe said that in his judgment
Secreta nv Taft was regarded by Yale men
as honest and wise as any one in the
country and as well informed and safe to
follow on Philippine matters as any one
in Washington.
He also told Senator Brandegee that Yale
men had heard two reasons suggested for
the Senator's opposition TO the Philippine
measure: disapproval Of the President s
attitude toward the Senate and regard for
the interests Of the Connecticut tobacco
growers.
Senator Brandegee wrote a long letter
to Prof. Beebe telling the Yale professor
and all other Yale men why he was against
the Philippine bill.
One of his reasons was that he wanted
to protect the tobacco growers Of this
State, and another was that he believed the
bill would put the American working man
in compel ition with the cheap labor of the
Philippines.
Prof. Beebe made this comment to-day,
The letter which sent to Senator Bran
degee was written more in sorrow than in
anger. At present the latter sentiment
predominates and leads me to say that I
consider Senator Brandegee has sold his
birthright and ours for a pitiful consider

TO CURE INSURANCE EVILS.
Minnesota Commissioner Has q Reform
Plan to Oner.

ST. PAUL, March 18.-When the committee
Of fifteen State Insurance Commissioner
meets in Chicago next Tuesday to consider
uniform legislation relative to insurance
supervision in the various States Commits
sioner T. D. O'Brien of Minnesota will
present, as chairman of the committee, a
plan whereby the policyholders and the
will be brought into closer relations. If
adopted, it is said, the possibility Of the
scandals and mismana cement said to be
prevalent under the present system will
be reduced to a minimum.
Instead of the mutual life insurance COM
panies being merely mutual in name, they
will be mutual in practice. Mr.. O'Brlen
seeks to establish this close relationship
between the policyholders and the officers
of the company by providing a set OF rules
tying the relations between officers and
policyholders.
One of the important provisions ls a sec
ton requiring that every mutual insurance
COMPANY authorized to do business in this
State shall classify its governing board so
that the terms of at least one-third of the
members shall expire each year.
, Another feature is that the policyholders
can cast their votes by mail, by proxy or
representative. The fact that the mails
can be used will obviate such a struggle as
is now going on by the various factions to
secure proxies for the approaching annual
meetings OF the large New York companies.
Mr.. O'Brien's plan is a portion of a general
insurance code which has been drawn up to
form a basis for uniform insurance laws
throughout the States of the Union.

MRS. POILLON SUES BLACKS FIRM
Asks an Accounting OF the Sls 500 Settle
ment OF the RrOkaM Suit.

Katherine Poillon, who settled her breach
of promise suit against w. Gould Brokaw
for ST. 1900, has begun suit in the Supreme
Court to get an accounting from her former
lawyers. Black, Olcott. Gruber & Bonynge'
of the moneys paid in settlement.
Mrs. Poillon's complaint is made up
largely of a reiteration Of what she testified
to recently In supplementary proceedings
She alleges that out of the SIT, 500 she got
/ only SO, OTIS and that w. M. X. Olcott, who
acted as her attorney and settled the case,
got the rest. She also says that she was
triol;ed into signing a general release, be-
lieving il to be a receipt for the cash then
being paid to her.
Mrs. Poillon applied also for a stay Of the
suit now pending against her in which James
j. Fitzgerald. who was her counsel for a
while, seeks to recover Is per cent OF the
the Sl7, 500 as his fee. She charges that
when she decided to switch from Fitz-
gerald to Olcott, having gone to Fitzgerald
from House, Grossman & Vorhaus. she got
a consent to substitution from Fitzgerald,
which she took to Olcott.
Olcott. she says, remarked that the main
thing was to get the substitution, and then
crossed out the line in the consent by which
Fitzgerald was to get 10 per cent ana wrote
in is per cent, mot to exceed 5000 in any
event"
She was not aware of the full import Of
this change, she says, and did not authorize
it, though she initiated the interlineation.
Mrs. Poillon says that in her estimation
500 would amply compensate Fitzgerald
for all he did, and $1,000 should have been
enough for Olcott. She figures out that
Oloott still owes her at least 5000.
Olcott said yesterday that he had moth
ing to say in reference to the suit save to
refer to his own testimony at the hearing
in supplementary proceedings, when he
explained that Mrs. Poillon had got all to
which she was entitled and that che had
given his office a receipt in full for the
entire SIS Part of what she got was
in money loaned while the suit was pending.

HOBOKEN BIG ENOUGH.
Bill 10 AXE In Weehawken and Other
Towns TO he Withdrawn.

hill 10 Take In Weehawken and Other
Towns TO he Withdrawn.
Hoboken's ambition to reach out and
gather in all the municipalities in the north
ern part Of Hudson county has been frost
bitten and the city which enjoys the
distinction of being the most densely
populated town in Uncle Sans wide
domains has decided that she doesn't want
to expand for a while. Her determination
to temporarily remain a nice little city of
about one and a half square miles is the
result Of the deliberations Of Mayor George
Fl. Steil and members of the Common Coun-
Gil.
They threshed the matter out and came
10 the conclusion that Hoboken is all right
as she is and would not REAP any particular
advantage by consolidation with the several
north Hudson towns, townships and bor-
oughs. They also agreed among them
selves that the opposition manifested in
Weehaw vixen and other municipalities to
the proposed plan Of being gobbled up by
Hoboken might make it rather difficult to
bring about the contamination OF the
Greater Hoboken scheme.
Mayor Steil told Senator James F. Min
turn Of Hudson county, who is Corporation
Attorney OF Hoboken, yesterday to give
the Greater Hoboken bill now pending in
the Legislature a sleeping powder. The
Senator said he would apply to the Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations next
week for leaveto withdraw the bill from its
further consideration.

STABBING. ENDS QUARREL.
Italians Dispute Over Money Likely to
Cost Mans Life.

Z; An alteration between two Italians in
Mulberry Bend Park last night almost re-
suited in a murder. As it is, the injured
man is lying in Hudson street hospital in
a very serious condition from a stab wound
in the abdomen.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock Andrea Maz-
zano was passing through the park when
he met Luigi Ligismordo coming from the
opposite direction. There had been some
difference between the two over a money
matter, and when they met face TO face
the quarrel was renewed. Italians stand
ing on the corner across the street from the
cark heard loud talk.
Sudden ly Sisgimondo whipped out a
long stiletto and plunged 1t into Mazzano's
body. The injured man fell to the pave
.sment with a groan., Sisgimondo raced
scross the park with the other Italians
by Policeman Weisenrider of the Elizabeth
street station, who caught the man half
.wav a cross the park. Sisgimondo put up a
stiff fight, but the policeman, with the aid
of his club, subdued him.
" eisenrider, after locking the man up
! in the station a block away, returned to
the injured mar and summoned an am
bulance. The man was takentot the Hudson
street hospital. The house physician said
that Mazzano was in a very serious con-
dition and that only an operation would
save his life.
= Sigismondo is 80 years old and lives at
"a Mulberry street and is married. He
il a laborer. Mazzano lives at the same
address and keeps a small store at 10 Frank
lin street.

STOP TAKING C0AL ORDERS.
sales Agents Won't Guarantee Delivery OF
Small Sizes After April I.

me Wv
Members of the Coal Dealers Associa-
ton said yesterday that the sales agents
of the anthracite Goa carrying companies
are taking no orders for small steam sizes
or for what is known as broken anthracite
for delivery after April /. Broken an
thracite is extensively used in %foundries
and power houses, and in anticipation of a
strike factories in the Metropolitan dis
trict have been laying in large quantities.
The demand for domestic anthracite has
not been so great, because the dealers
are afraid to advise their customers what
to do.
Informal conferences were held by mem
bers of the Coal Dealers Association yes
terday, but it was decided to hold no meet
ing until it is known what will be done
after April L. A representative Of the
Coal Merchants Association said;
The prices generally thus far have not
been advanced to the dealers. The prob
abilities are that the April prices will open
higher this year than usual. The present
prices were established at the conclusion
ofthe strike of 1902, The increased demand
for steam sizes of anthracite coal has
hindered to a great extent the ability of
the dealers to obtain their supplies from
individual operators at a lower price than
the company prices, We are simply wait

Gov, HIGGINS IGNORED THEM.
Didn't Appoint the Judge Named by Attor'
neys OF the 9Th judicial District.

ROCHESTER, March 10.-Gov. Higgins put
| quite a kink this week in the Rochester
Bar Associations plans for purifying the
judiciary Of the State when he appointed
County Judge w. w. Clark OF Steuben
county to succeed the late Supreme Court
Justice John F. P%arkhurst. The integrity
| of Judge Clark is not questioned, and there
is no intimation that he will not make a
satisfactory Judge, but in making the
appointment the Governor ignored the
expressed wish Of the attorneys OF the
entire Seventh Judicial district. Now the
Rochester Bar Association 10 chagrned'
not to use a harsher term, and 30 are the
bar associations OF all the other counties
in the district. -
AT it's annual meeting in February the
Bar Association Of this city discussed al
length the criticism Of the judiciary Oh
the State. The lawyers declared nat they
could not ignore such attacks, as every
criticism Of the judiciary was direct charge
against the bar. They pointed out that
Judges we're selected from the bar ana,
il was fair to assume, with the approval
of their associates, and they further de-
| ella red that they believed that IN every
constituency Of the State the lawyers coula
| effect the election or defeat OF any candi-
date for judicial office.
A com mittee was appointed to lay out q
plan of action. Before this was accom-
plished Justice Parkhurst died. The law
yers were at once face to face with a stu
alton which they had been preparing, foT'
The committee reported in favor OF hoid..
ing a mass smeeting OF the attorneys OF
the entire district at which a secret vote
should be taken on the various candidates
and the result sent to Gov. Higgins. Inc
Governor was asked to defer filling, the
vacancy until after the meeting, and ne
consented to do 30.
The meeting was held in the Monroe
. county court house, and about 400 out
of the 800 practising attorneys in the Sew
enth district were present. TIT secret
vote resulted as follows; Monroe Wheeler,
Surrogate OF Steuben, 142; w. W. Clark,
County Judge of Steuben, 10l. There
were a few scattering votes for other can
didates, but about a third OF the lawyers
didn't vote at all.
The result was promptly forwarded to
Gov. Higgins, and three days later, Ignoring
the action at the meeting, he appointed
Judge Clark, who was backed by Senator
Tully.
Thus it is that the Bar Associations plan
for debating judicial appointments ana
nominations has died a-borning. 1t has
all turned out as one lawyer predicted 1t
would when he said
NO Governor wants to have a fist shaken
in his face and told; Here's our canoi-
date: now appoint him.
