Annual Distribution.

Provision is made for annual dis
hibution of a proportion of the sur
plus of each life insurance company
to its policyholders. At the end OF
each year the corporation must ascer-
tain the surplus earned, and after set
ting aside from such surplus such
sums as may be required for the pay
ment of authorized dividends upon the
capital stock if any, and for contin-
gency reverse not in excess Of the
amount prescribed in this article,
every such corporation shall separate
ly determine the aggregate amount OF
remaining surplus, which shall be
equitably apportionable to all policies
issued on or after Jan. l, 1907 and
shall apportion such amount to said
policies according to their respective
shares.
A limit is placed on the amount Of
new insurance which can be written
in any one year. The scope of tn
company investments are limited, and
the only stocks permitted are those Of
municipal corporations or bonds amply
secured.

referred to at considerable length, as
also is the $50,000000 Union Pacific
pool under the management OF E. II.
Hartman, Jacob H. Schiff and James
Stillman. Participation in this pool
by the Equitable, the committee
holds, was clearly an improper trans
action for an insurance company.
Payment to Denew Not Warranted.
Former Governor Odells shipbuiid-
ing suit against the Mercantile Truss
company, which was settled by that
company, is treated of, the committee
holding that the circumstances Of the
introduction of the Amber bill might
have been sufficient to induce tha>
settlement on the part of the officers
Of the trust company through fear
that proceedings inimical to its inter
ests might be taken if those who
could initiate them were not APP
peaSed. The committee report con-
l&lns a I'm statement of loans made
to E. H. Hartman and Kuhn, LCeb 4
company by the Equitable. Payment
of $4,000 a year to Senator Depew by
the Equitable, the committee holds,
was not warranted, testimony as to
the services rendered by Depew not
appearing to be sufficient for such
payment The committee also sets
forth that it does not appear what

Senator Hill who was paid $4,000 a

Corrective Bills.

Albany, N. Y, Feb 22.-AccOmpany-
ing the report of the insurance inves-
tigatOrs yesterday were eight bills.
One of these comprises about $4,000
words and embodies a general over
hauling of the insurance law Direct
ors and officers of an insurance cor
pOratiOn are prohibited from receiv-
ing money or valuable considerations
for procuring or aiding in amy pur-
chase by or sale to such corporation
of any property or any loan from suca
corpora tion" and are further prohib-
tied from being pecuniarily interested
in any such purchase, sale or loan. 1t
does not, however, prevent insurance
corporations from making loan upon
a policy held therein by a borrower If
it does not exceed the net value there
of The privileges now enjoyed by the
stakeholder or creditor OF an insur-
ance company to require the superin-
tendent upon sworn complaint to in
vestigate the company is extended to
policyholder
The famous section S. of the in
surance law which requires a policy
holder to obtain the consent of the at
torney general before commencing
action to compel the officers Of the
company to render an accounting OF
their trust, is repealed. Every life
insurance policy. must contain the full
contract between the company and
the policyholder and fOrbids reference
to constitution or bylaws not ex-
pressly quoted. Any waiver Of this
provision is void.

LET'S CELEBRATE
AT HOME!

1t is but a few weeks now until
the Fourth of July will be here
the day we all celebrate, or should.
For years past it has been the
custom of the people of Yerington
and vicinity to have a picnic at
the grove, short way from town;
and very nice times are enjoyed
by those who attend; but it seems
to us that a general celebration
could be arranged for the coming
Fourth which would keep great
many more people at home than
formerly-that is, keep them from
going to outside places like Car
son, Virginia City or Reno, to
spend their money without receiv
ing any particular enjoyment for it.
1t would not take much to ar
range an interesting program for
the Fourth in Yerington. Prob
ably a wrestling match could be
made one of the features; a ball
game between Dayton nine and
a nine from this place could be ar
ranged; foot races and horse races
could be made another card, and
games of all kinds could be fixed
up for the young folks. A collec
ton could be taken up in the town
for the purchase of fireworks,
which could be made one of the
features of the evening, and the
balance of the night could be
spent in dancing.
Dayton would probably fall in
line with good ball nine, and
possibly a tug-o'war team to be
pitted against the Mason Valley
boys and men.
Let's move about bit and see if
we cannot have an old-time Lyon
county celebration next Fourth.
No matter if it costs us little;
day or two of recreation with bus
mess cares laid aside would do us
all good and be worth the expense
and trouble.
1t is none too early now to be-
gin arranging for celebration;
provided, such proposition meets
with the approval of our citizens.

THE FATE OF PRO-
CRASTINATORS.

mess of every description. Min
ing men; men of capital, with
lew to investing in any legiti-
ate enterprise, have visited this
dlley of late and some of them
are here now. They have found
the conditions exactly as repre-
scented by. the TIMEs-the oppor-
tunities great in all lines, but a
woeful lack of enterprise among
the people.
Among those who have visited
the valley of late are people from
the East and the southern coun-
try who see the need of improve
ment in the valley. They have
not been pleased with the condi-
tons of the town, and it is not at
all improbable that they will en-
deavor to create another town on
the west side of the river. In fact
it is stated that they propose to
build a branch line of railroad
from Wabuska to townsite which
they have secured in the vicinity
of the old smelter across the river,
build an up-to-date hotel, a bank,
large general merchandise store,
cottages for rent or sale, and gen
orally prepare to do business on
broad and up-to-date principles.
You, business men and property
owners of Yerington, cannot have
failed to read in past issues of the
TIMES that just this very thing
would happen unless there was
shown disposition on the part of
our people to improve and make
of Yerington town that would
be attractive to the eye of invest
ors and also afford to them at least
second rate accommodations and a
fair fair run for their money in the
way of investment.
Has Yerington done this? Let
US see Have we hotel accommo-
dations? Have we the town laid out
in any kind of regular lines with
limits? Have we anything but
main street and a few struggling
outside streets that begin nowhere
and end at the same place! Is
there a decent way to get into
back streets from the main street?
Is there single street in the town
that is on a grade, turnpiked and
graveled? Is it not a fact that
after a rain storm the main street
of the town more closely resem-
bles a slough than it does a road?
Provided you answer all these
questions in your own mind in the
affirmative, what have YOU done
to change the existing conditions?
Have you made any effort to lay
out and incorporate the town so
that improvements could be made
and the burden fall equally upon
the taxpayers of the community?
Now, what have you done? What
are the sanitary conditions of the
town? Are not the streets used
as dumping places for all kinds Of
garbage, manure, tin cans, car
asses, etc
Under these conditions is it any
wonder that people coming in
rom the outside to look for in
gestments prefer to start in in a
new place and make the condi-
lions right from the start, instead
of trying to convert you to their
ideas of progressiveness?
We are not certain that this
new town will be go, but it will
be tried out almost to a dead GER

HEARING RESUMED
On the Tillman-Gillespie Resolution on
Coal Transportation.

iHe interstate commerce commission to-
DAY resumed here the hearings recently in
augurated under the Tillman- Gillespie reso-
luton requiring the commission to INQUIRE
into and report IL railroads have any in
terest in coal and oil transported over their
lines as common carriers Testimony AL
ready has been taken In PHILADELPHIA and
baltimore. Today the first witness called
was L. D. Hobart, coal and coke freight
agent for the Norfolk and Western rail-
road William A. Glasgow. jr, of Philadei-
phia and b. b. Whitney of New York. who
were retained by the commission in the in
curry conducted the examination of wit
nesses for the commission At the outset
Nh Glasgow stated to the commission that
there would be sixteen to eighteen witnesses
to be examined here.
Mr. Hobert was questioned at some length
as TO rates on coal into Norfolk Rtchmona
ana other points over their road also al to
rates on the Chesapeake and Ohio Ac-
eoruing 10 the hgures given by the witness
the Norfolk and Western rate into Norfolk
vas 20 cents higher per ton than the Chesa-
peake and Ohio rate, and the rate of the
chesapeake and Ohio into Richmond Is
cents higher per ton than the Norfolk and
western rate to that point up TO ApriI /
last. since which time they have been the
same.
Asked why the Norfolk and Western rate
was higher into Norfolk than the Chesa-
peilke and Ohio and the Chesapeake and
OHIO higher into Richmond than the Nor
loik ana western the witness said that the
Nortolk and Western had no direct line Into
Richmond while Norfolk was one of Its
local points. and on the other hand that
Richmond was a local point on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. He thought the Norfolk
and Western was entitled to the business
into Norfolk and the Chesa peake and Ohio
into Richmond Asked il there had been
any understanding between the two roads
that one would charge a higher rate Into
Norfolk and the other into Richmond, the
witness said there had been some CONVERSE
ton between officials, and did not deny
that an arrangement had been made to that
effect
Replying to a question by Mr.. Glasgow
the witness said they had not met the
Chesapeake and Ohio rate into Richmond
because of revenues. His road he ex-
planned. could carry coal into Norfolk one
of its own points. and save the revenue that
would be lost by going into Richmond since
they were obliged to pay an arbitrary rate
on the lines connecting the Norfolk and
Western with Richmond.
Previous to 1901 the rate into Richmond,
Dir. Hobart stated. was $1.50 per ton. then
was raised to Sis, and in 1903 was raised
to S1S5. and on April last was lowered TO
$1.6lethe present rate. The rate of LAM
berts Point, he said. for reshipment outside
the Virginia capes Is $1.35 for 2240-pound
tons and 81. 60 for Norfolk and local harbor
points.
