COMMITTEE REPORT
 ON LIFE INSURANCE
The New York State Department Comes in
 for Severe Criticism
It Might Easily Have Discovered What the Legislative Committee Afterward Unearthed-The Equtable's Improper Connection With the Union Pacihc Pool.

New York, Feb. 22.-The committee appointed at the last session of the New York legislature to investigate life insurance made its report today. The report is extremely Voluminous, extending to 319 printed pages. It em- braces a long review of the testimony taken b.y the committee and it's rec concentrations and conclusions as to remedial legislation. In which the com mittee declares 1t would seem the sup erintendent of the department has had ample power to ascertain the trans-- actions of the insurance companies but the supervision by the department has not proved a sufficient protection against extravaganza and maladminis- tration.
 Instances are given of reports made on the affairs of the Mutual Life In- surance company, the New York Life and the Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety. in which nothing was brought out to show the conditions developed in the testimony given before the com mittee. No substantial amplification of its powers were necessary that the ac- counts Of the Mutual Life Insurance company might have been thoroughly examined in order that the extent to which moneys had been misapplied and the responsibility for any misapplica tion, which might have bean shown might be determined.
 Concerning the New York Life com pany, the committee found that it's transactions with Andrew Hamilton showed extraordinary abuses, and that the statement sent from Paris by Hamilton was without suitable speci- .;ca&ons.

It is not charged that this was ever done. but only that 1t might be done. I know of no sub ject on which the general public has been more deceived or concerning which there is such an amount Of mis- apprehension
 T refer you to the last report of the interstate commerce commission. where you will find il stated that American railroads are owned by in diviidual stockholders to the number of 32SO0O. We can not tell the mum Der of bondhoIders. but it must be much larger When you read that a certain man 'controls'' a railroad. you should understand that he is simply chosen by a majority of the stock Co represent the interests of the owners
 Perhaps I may also be allowed to state here that in my judgment there are no men in the country more close ly watched than those controlling our large railroads, and no business Is conducted in a more conservative and straightforward manner
 The railroads are today. and al- ways have been opposed to the rebate
 
 they do not want to give up any or their earnings, and they have no pos sible object in discriminating in favor of any individual; they do not caFe how stringent are the laws which may be made in that regard.
 "Of all the Offenses charged agains- the railroads. that of discriminating fs the only one that has any foundatiou In fact, yet none of the bills proposet at this session of congress tOuehes this question at all The main featuro of all the proposed bills is the pro vision that the interstate commercp commission may name what it consid- CTS a reasonable rate and that such rate must at once go into effect Therr is no provision for maintaining the rate when it is made, of course. It is just as easy to pay rebates out or rates named by the commission as ouc of those named by the roads them selves
 We nave seen that there is prscti- cally no complaint as to the reason ableness of rates. yet it is proposed to put them in the hands of a body O. men appointed for political service without regard to fitness Which or you would like to see your business SO dealt with2
 There are plenty of laws on the. statute books for such Offenses as the railroads have committed or may commit. Enforce these laws to the limit before taking possession of pri- vate property or putting into a strait jacket the one industry that has main ly built up your commerce"

BALANCE OF POWER
 HELD BY DEMOCRATS
They Gan Determine the Character of the
 Rate Bill to be Reported Today
The Conservative Republicans Counting Upon the Sup port of two Democratic Members of the Commttee in Favor of a Court Review Amendment

Washington, Feb. 22.-What the members of the senate committee on interstate commerce will do when they face vote on the court review feature of the railroad rate bill tomorrow is a question that tonight is provoking unlimited speculation and a wide va riance in predictions. The democratic members of the committee hold the key to the situation, but at a confer ence tonight they were unable to agree.
 When they adjourned to meet to- morrow morning, they favored sending the bill to the senate floor without a report of any character. The conser- vative republicans declare they would win with an amendment, and Senators Deliver and CIapp continued their stand against amendments.
 The introduction today by Senator Knox of a railroad rate bill containing q feature for court review seemed to clarify the situation for a time The conservative faction of the committee. consisting of Senators Elkins, AIdrich. +'oraker, Keane, and Crane, was ready 70 accept this feature, and they held n conference at which it was agreed to offer it as an amendment to the Hep burn bill
 They counted on certain democratic votes in the committee to give them a majority, but the hesitancy of these democrats in committing themselves to the amendment upset their plans The democrats said they desired to consider the Knox scheme we'll before agreeing to vote for it. As a result Senators Tillman, McLaurin, and Eos ter conferred. They took into their conference the Knox plan. an amend ment prepared by the conservative re- publicans, and the plans provided in various other rate bills, with the in tentiOn of deciding between them
 In any event, the democrats will go into the committee in absolute control of the situation They can amend the Hepburn bill or they can report it to the senate in the form it passed the house. There will be eleven members of the committee present when the committee meets. Six members will constitute a majority. There are five republican members who will vote to- gether for a court review amendment One democratic vote, therefore, is suf- ficient to amend the bill. Until the democratic members decided to get together, the conservative republicans claimed two democratic votes. It is not likely that the democratic position will be disclosed before the meeting tomorrow.
 The minority members tonight said frankly that they were up in the air

FIRE IN FRISCO

There was a Less of Almost a HaIf-
 Billion.

San Francisco, Feb. 22.-Many of the streets of the down town section of this city are in almost utter darkness to- night as the result of a fire that de- stroyed the Jessie Street station of the San Francisco Gas and Electric com pany early today. The station was one of the largest in the city. and its loss. has been widely felt today in the loss of both light and power.
 In all of the big hotels elevators were stopped and more primitive methods or illumination were used in the dark CT rooms. Gas is being burned almost everywhere in the business section of the city where fixtures are in exist ence. Superintendent Napthaly of the gas and electric company tonight plac- ed the company's loss at about $fOO, . 900.

THE NEWEST RATE BILL.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Mr. Knox's much discussed and long expected rail- Oad bill was introduced in the senate today and because of the exceptional interest of the subicst, was accorded the unusual privilege of a reading for the information of the senators on the day of introduction. Close attention was given.
 In a brief statement MT. Knox said that he did not hope to have the com mittee on interstate commerce do any more than consider the bill as afford ing light on the question of the court review of the findings of the interstate commerce commission. Mir. Foraker gave notice of a speech for next We'd nesday on the rate question.
 The remainder of the day was de- voted to listening to the reading of Washington's farewell address by Mir. McCreary and considering the hazing biii which was passed just before ad- iourninent.
 The bIn gives authority to the sec retdTy of the navy to dismiss at any time a midshipman whose presence he cons ders for any cause, contrary to tie best interests of the service but the accused has the right to demand a court martial.

This way it would be pos sible for lists of policy holders to be filed under the statute fol nominations to be made and tor the policy holders to cast their votes in person, by proxy or by the mails as they may desire. As the annual election by one of these companies would otherwise take place in April it is important that this spe- cial act be passed immediately.
