Precedent for The srown.viII. Dec

Precedent for the Brownsville Decision
Whenever a new proposition comes
up in Washington. there Is a large
corps Of men who insist in delvins In
to the archives Of the past. to find q
precedent for the decision.
After the nresident dismissed the
infantrymen for the affair at Browns
Vile. 1t was soon found that no less q
person than General Robert e. Lee
had taken similar course for a lynch
ing that occurred at Fort Davis.
Strange as 1t may seem both that
occurrence and the one now agitat-
ing military circles were occasioned by
the killing Of bartender. A bartend-
er was killed at Brownsville. and a
bartender was lynched at Fort Davis
because ne had killed q member of the
company by striking him with his fist.
The Lee incident occurred during the
administration Of President Buchan-
an, but there is no official record OF it.
In the Lee case the responsibility was
assumed by the general himself who
was then in command Of the troops In
Texas.
The only surviving member of this
company. SO far as known, is Captain
J. c. Hesse, who Is now employed in
the ONCE Of the secretary OF the army.
Captain Hesse was one OF the IS men,
bers dismissed, but through a person

vious record and innocence OF COM

NEW YORK, Dec 31--The year lust
closing has been anything but rosy
one for the life Insurance agent. But
this. the Anal day. Is the saddest one
Of all. It marks the end Of the high
commission area. Tomorrow many Of
the most important OF the life inSur-
ance reforms enacted by the legisla-
ture following the report Of the ARM
strong investigation Commission win be-
come operative.
The most important OF the new laws
at least from the agents point Of view,
Is that limiting the amount Of money
q company may spend to acquire new
business. This law will affect the var
ious companies differently. but its
effect on the. agents will be pretty
much the same all along the line.
Averaged. It will amount to shrink
age OF between one-ffth and one
fourth Of the agents commissions.
How Agents Are Effected. /.
In other words. where an agent has
been getting so per cent for bringing
in = new policy. under the new law he
will get from 90 to IS per cent. His In
terest In the subsequent or renewal of
all policies II also curtailed. In some
Of the smaller companies the agents
have besn getting comission- on the
premiums throughout the life Of the
policy.
On endowment policies he IL lim-
tied to ive Der cent Of the renewal
premiums for nine years. On all other
policies he 10 limited to Z liz per cent
for nine years.
All the companies must file with the
superintendent Of insurance detailed
reports Of their condition today. This
II the first practical test of the pub
licity section Of the new law.
The companies must report the div
idendes declared and the sums held
applicable to deferred dividend poli-
cies. Lists Of securities purchased and
fluctuations must be furnished. and
sold during the year with the sprice

liam j. Bryan was an interested spec
tator of the proceedings in the lower
house of parliament today During the
agrarian debate, which was continued
throughout the morning session, he oc-
cupied a seat in the diplomatic box
as the guest of Ambassador Meyer,
and during the recess Mr.. Bryan dis
cussed the situation with some leaders
of the house.
Mr.. Bryan was also outtonholed
by harmless crank who had planned
to stop famines by teaching the peas
ants to eat the field rats which de-
stroyed the crops, and offered to sub
scribe 1000 if he could interest Amer
leans to take up the plan.
Asked to define his attitude toward
the presidential candidacy in 1908, Mr..
Bryan expressed his pleasure at the
complimentary resolutions passed by
various state conventions, but said it
was too early to make any announce
ment relative to his denomination.
In the afternoon Mr.. Bryan called on
Foreign Minister Iswolsky, to whom
he was presented by Ambassador
