THE recent developments at the hear
ing In progress before the interstate
commerce commission in this city in re-
spect TO the acquisition and ownership of
the stocks OF coal companies and the ac-
ceptance OF gratuities by its employees are
a surprise TO the management. While II

the facts with respect thereto will be
thoroughly Investigated and no ownership
or practice calculated in any manner to
affect the full and impartial discharge OF
the duty owed by the company and its
employees 10 the public will be tolerated. -

reached, however, Senator Hale admon-
ished other senators against the VIOLA

said that half dozen senators had done
most of the talking.
Senator Daniel made the first speech
on the Teller proposition. He said Chief
Justice Marshall had interpreted the right
Of congress- to delegate Its power, and the
rule then laid down had been followed In
innumerable cases.
Senator Long also advocated the re-
tentlon of the words, agreeing with Sen
ator Allison that they constitute part OF
the judicial review contemplated by the
bill.
Senator SpIbner expressed doubt as To
the wisdom OF the provision
OF the words. Senator Bacon thought that
the words weaken the bill and therefore
advised that they be eliminated.
Senator Morgan would have the words
stricken out beot use they cast a doubt
on the bill.
Senator Lodge said there had not been
any misunderstanding that would bind
him to keep the debatable words In the
bill and understanding or no understand
ing ne wanted the words stricken out.
"If the words remain and tho law is de-
clared unconstitutional the people will
declare II a fraud and congress will be
held responsible" he said.
In reply to Mr.. Foraker. Mr.. Lodge
said no knew nothing about any agree
ment. He had been shown the Allison
amendment and had said that he approved
them. but he did not 20 further.
Senator Foraker said that Senator Al

by him.

WAGES Of BRICK /.
LAYERS AND THEIR
HELPERS RAISED

San Francisco May 1S.-The 'Masons and
Builders association has raised the wages
of bricklayers and helpers. Commencing
May p bricklayers will receive 81 per day
of eight hours and helpers 81 a day.
This is an advance of one dollar day
for bricklayers and 90 cents for helpers.
In a. statement that has been issued the
Builders association declares the supply
OF this kind OF skilled labor is inadequate
10 the demand, and that IL has been found
necessary 10 take this action as an induce
ment TO come and help in rebuilding the
city.
F. l. Hadley, secretary of the Journey
men Brcklayers' union. is OF the opinion
that there is enough bricklayers here 10
supply the demand existing, but many OF
them are temporarily engaged In repair
ing chimneys.
That the insurance companies which
manifest an intention OF resisting claims
and evading payment OF losses sustained
by policyholders In the great fir ehere by
resorting to legal technicaities will be
marked companies and may meet with
drastic action in some states is indicated
by the tenor of replies received by
Insurance Commissioner L. Myron Wolf
in response 10 his appeal to the insur-
ance departments OF other states to as
sist him in compelling the insurance COM
panies TO deal fairly with their policy
holders in the present crisis. Commits
sioner Wolf yesterday received ehfollow-
ing official communication from Samuel
Z. Davis, state controller OF Nevada:
II understand that some OF the eastern
and foreign companies are proposing TO
crawl behind technicalities in the matter
OF adjusting losses In San Francisco: that
where houses were dynamited TO stay the
progress OF flames-houses which In the
natural course OF events would have been
swept away by the fire a few minutes
later-they will refuse TO pay the insur-
ance.
Now, IL appears 10 me that the act OF
destroying the buildings was alone what
saved the rest OF the city from total de-
struction. and no doubt protected these
companies from further loss II this
saving OF additional losses to the COM
panies IL to be made a pretext on their
part 10 evade thei rjust obligations in
settlement OF their San Francisco liabdli-
ties, II is prima facie evidence to me that
the companies resortlng to the technicali-
ties are dishonest, and on a proper snow.

AFTER DEFEAT IN DEPUTIES

Rome, May 1s.-Premier Sonnino in
the chamber OF deputies today officially
announced the resignation OF the cab
met.
The Sonnino ministry was defeated
yesterday by q majority OF 27 as the
result of the impatience Of the oppo-
sion which, contrary 10 the advice of
former Premier Giolitti, who was not
present at yesterdays sitting. would
not walt for the development of the
whole Sonnino program, but attacked
the cabinet on a question OF procedure
regarding the order OF parliamentary
work
In ordinary cases this would not have

sign but yesterdays vote. IL was un-
derstood, showed unexpected strength
on the part OF the opposition and the
premier concluded that he was called
