NO ONE SPOKE IN
FAVOR Of BILL
THIS MORNING

Further hearing was had at the state
house today by the senate judiciary COM
mittee on the act TO prohibit the use Of
the pump or automatic shot gun in
hunting birds or animals. Three or four
spoke against the act. but none said a
word In it's favor. although several who
are advocates OF its passage were present
al the hearing.
President Arnold OF the Bristol County
Game association was one OF those who
expressed his views before the committee.
He did not consider that any remarka-
bic execution was accomplished with the
gun and thought that other causes were
responsible for a moro rapid depletion II
the number OF game birds ard game than
the weapons under consideration would
eyer be-
John II. Flanagan also addressed the
committee on the subject. He did not
think the act AS drawn amounted TO much
and did not consider The guns as destruc-
tive. as many people were inclined TO be-
it~~ them.
Several people appeared at the hearing
which was held yesterday George O.
Shields Of New York was the principal
SptdhfIs ne Sdlu iif lndJOfltN OF TIE Ieo-
pie opposed 10 the passage OF the act
were people interested In the manufac-
ture OF modern guns.
These people he said. had put in ex-
pensive machinery az great cost FOR the
manufacture OF their product, but they
had been warned before doing so that the
use OF the guns would be strenuously OPP
posed. These opponents assert that in
stead OF legislating against the use OF
certain kinds OF weapons the general as
sembly should pass laws restricting the
bags OF game which may be taken and
prohibiting the sale OF game.
Mr.. Bliss of Cranston advocated the
passage OF the Abill. He stated that while
he was not an expert In such matters he
was satisfied that the gun was a very
deadly weapon and It's use should be pro-
hibited. There was a wide difference. he
said between the automatic. and pump
shot guns.

W|THDRAWS FROM
BUSINESS IN
STATE Of R. |.

The sudden withdrawal OF the Bankers
Life Insurance company OF New York city
from writing any new business in this
state has led 10 all sorts OF conjectures
as 10 the probable reason for the COM
pany's action. which scenes rather radi-
cal than otherwise. as the company IS
known 40 be solvent and 20 have done an
increased business in this state during
the past year over that OF the preceding
~ months
Officials at the company's local agency
I'm the Banigan building received an order
this morning not 10 write any new busi-
ness In the state and State Commissioner
OF Insurance Gray was also notified by
the company OF It's withdrawal.
The local officials received no accom-
panying explanation with the order and
are I'm the dark as 10 it's real significance.
II is thought that internal differences
as to the working OF the company may
have brought about the withdrawal. which
is faid 20 be temporary.
