 AMONG THE POOREST
Oldest Man in Senate Calls on
 the President
LONGS FOR LIFE ON FARM
Says He Does Not Believe In Leaving Money Behind So His Descend ants Will Not Have
 to Work.

Washington. February 2.-(Speeial)- Senator Pettus of Alabama, confessed to- day at the White House that he will easily take rank in the class of the poorest men in the Senate, there having been some gossip as to the poorest of men there The venerable Alabama senator, S4 years old called on the President.
 q agree with William Wrt, who was Attorney General of the United States, that industrious lawyers work harder, love better and die poorer than any other class of people" he said
 Senator Pettus doesn't believe in leav- ing money behind him and thinks that it encourages laziness.
 q have grand sons and grand daughters and still another generation coming on," said the Senator. "I do not want to leave them so they will not have to work, for these men with millions do not have to labor and consequently they do not work"
 "Is 1t true. Senator as quoted in the newspapers. that you said if you had life to live over again, you would get out in the middle of q big arm and stay there?" some one asked
 Well I don't remember saying that, but I certainly have thought 1t a num- Der of times" was the response.

ACCURACY OF THE
 REPORT DOUBTED
Total Unginned Cotton Given at
 25O, 384 Bales
EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK
Southern Members of House Express Dissatisfacton and Say Figures Are Far From the
 Truth.

Washington, February 2.-Speaker Can non today made public the census bureau figures on unginned cotton immediately after the House was called to order. The total amount of ungnned cotton shown by the report is 25O.SS4 bales. with 16iS ginneries unheard from This publication was in accordance with the Sims resolu- tion passed by the House requiring Di- rector North of the census bureau to fur nish to Congress all data on unginned cotton of the crop of 1905 collected to January 16.
 An effort was made to have Speaker Cannon order the report read in the House, but he flatly refused to do this, saying the document must pass through ordinary channels and announced that he thought the figures were transformation rather than information; that they were based on partial returns and of little value.
 Chiefly Interests Spectators.
 The report had not arrived at the House when the Speaker rapped for or der. In response to inquiries from the department of commerce and labor as to how the report should be submitted. he replied that he would turn 1t over to the journal clerk and have it made public through the public document room in case 1t arrived before the House went into committee of the whole. Otherwise he said 1t must wait until the committee came out of the House of the whole, as he did not propose to deviate in the least from the ordinary procedure for the purpose of publishing figures of inter- est chiefly to spectators.
 Officials of the department of commerce and labor hurried the report to the capi- tol, as they did not wish to be respon- sible for delay, and it arrived in time to be placed in the Speakers charge be- fore the House took up the days work. Under orders from the Speaker, clerk in the public document room read the figures for a large group of the House members and newspaper men, who were eagerly awaiting the totals in the report
 Southern members expressed much dis satisfaction with the figures and said they were far from the truth. Members from the northern cotton mill districts were equally harsh in their criticism of the totals and declared the ginneries un heard from might make a radical differ ence in the figures.

House Wants More Information.

The House judiciary committee has fa- vorably reported resolution introduced by Representative Williams of Missis- sippi calling upon the attorney general to inform the House whether any crimi- nal prosecutions have been instituted by the department of justice against the in- dividuals or corporations who were ad- judged guilty by the supreme court of having violated the laws of the country by entering into unlawful combinations in restraint of interstate commerce. The resolution was adopted by the unanimous vote of the committee and will be called Jenkins of the judiciary committee as soon as the railroad rate bill is disposed of It is reported that the republican leaders, Speaker Cannon, Representative Dalzel and others are opposed to the resolution being passed and cannot under stand how Chairman Jenkins allowed it to get out of committee.
 Although the resolution bears a favora- ble report. efforts may be made to delay it's consideration, but it's parliamentary status is such that it cannot be delayed for many days The action of the House in demanding an investigation of the Pennsylvania merger would indicate that information on the Northern Securities merger will also get through What ex- cuse will be given for not prosecuting the violators of the law under the supreme court decision in the Northern Securities case is awaited with good deal of inter- est in the House.

Ten pemoerats Mentioned.

Something like ten democrats names were mentioned as sure to vote for the treaty. Many of them have denied that they intended to vote any such way, but the fact that party discipline on the dem ocratic side during the past few years has been at such low ebb has resulted in very uncertain feeling among the democrats
 Al the caucus tomorrow the law will be laid down to the democrats who are think ing of voting for the treaty. They will be told that if they cast their votes for 1t their right to enter any democratic caucus in the future will be questioned. In addition they will have to act as inde- perdents and at the next Senate re-organ- ization the democrats will have nothing to do with their committee assignments but they will have to go to the republi- can steering committees and make their arrangements.

Several Were Weak.kneed.

It is stated today that the decision of the democrats to get a clear understand ing as to whether the administration can get as many of them as Is needed has re- suited in several democrats who were elassed as weak-kneed on the subject an nouncing they would vote with their party.
 Senator Simmons of North Carolina, who returned from his home today, said he would vote against the treaty and Sem .ator Daniel of Virginia, who has been mentioned by administration senators as favorable to ratification, is also said to be with his party. The Georgia senators are In doubt, as are one or two others, but one of the most influential members on the democratic side gave it as his opin- ion tonight that when the caucus adjourns tomorrow there VII be more democracy and more disciplii she party than there is today. It IS considered certain that three democrats. MeEnery of Louis- lana, Patterson of Colorado and Clarke of Arkansas, pledged for the treaty The democrats hope to get one of them back in line. The administration people on the other hand insist they have the votes necessary to have a two-thirds ma jority in the Senate.

 The report of the committee on reso- lutlons which were presented by the chair man. Governor Cummins of Iowa, and which was adopted by the convention as a whole is HIS follows
 T. We believe that the system eom- monly known as the deferred dividend plan which consists in deferring all divi- dends to the end of a period named. and of forfelting the shares of the surplus justly belonging to those policyholders who either lapsed or died before the end of the period, is unsound in principle, unjust in its operation and such legisla- tion should be enacted as will remove the evils of this system.
 With respect to policies of that char acter already issued there should be re- aulred from this time forward an an nuaI statement and provisional appor- tionment of surplus to such polieyholders and the aggregate so apportioned to such policyholders should be charged as liabil- lties of the company
 With respect to all future policies there should be an annual accounting of the surplus. an apportonment To begin at a proper time after the issuance of the policy to each policyholder. of his share of the entire surplus of the preceding year, after reserving a reasonable mar gin of safety and an option on the part of the policyholder to withdraw his share in money Other options relating to the purchase of additional insurance may be inclnded

Caucus Today VIII Investigate
 Weak Knssd Rumors
TREATY STATUS IN DOUBT
Administration Has Been Working Hard on Individual Members to Get Them to Support the santo
 Domingo Measure.

Washington, February 2.-(Special)-To put 1t rather mildly extreme indigna- ton exists among Senate democrats over the possibilities that the administration is able to reach over and pick four or five democrats from their side whenever the votes are needed 10 put through republican measure such as the Santo Domingo treaty. This indignation will be aired at the caucus of democrats to be held tomorrow morning at the capi- tol. and it is not unlikely that the meet ing will be one of the most important held by democrats in a number of years. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky will be the chairman of the caucus in the ab- senee of Senator German, who is con fined to his home by illness.
 The Kentucky senator points out today that in the last session of Congress a caucus was held on the Santo Domingo treaty and at that time the decision was reached that the democrats would vote solidly against the treaty. Senator Cor man was called to the White House by the President and informed him of the action of the caucus. The result was that the President saw he could not ratify the treaty and the next day Senator Gull lom moved that the treaty be indefin- itely postponed. The extra session of the Senate then adjourned When the demo- cratic caucus was held there was no dis senting voice among any of the demo- crats as to the views adopted.
 Since that time, however, the adminis- tration has been working here and there upon individual democrats to get them to vote for the treaty. After the speech of Senator Patterson of Colorado the other day, the administration senators and ad- mlnistration papers at once announced that there was no longer any doubt about the treaty, that 1t would be ratified cer- tainly and the administration had the pledges of the democratic votes to do 1t.

Recoanlze the Difficulties.

"2 With respect to the representative form of government of mutual insurance companies, we have carefully reflected up- on all the plans that have been proposed. We recognize the difficulty in accomplish ing the much desired result.
 We are impressed with the necessity of a change in the present methods, and we suggest for consideration by the commit tee the adoption of some plan whereby there will be in each mutual company division of jurisdiction with the right of the policyholders of each jurisdiction to select a representative or representatives to attend the annual meeting of policy holders; the details of such plan to be devised so as to bring as nearly as pos sible to each polcy5oider the seonven- fence and practlcability Of securing his right to a voice in the management of hls company.
 that the existing laws of many states are sufficient to authorize the depart ment of Insurance to cali for whatever in- formation is desired The remaining states should confer upon their insurance de- partments like powers
 '4. With respect to investments We be- leve that while all investments should be conservative and exclude speculative properties, it is impracticable to attempt uniformity among the states Each state must necessarily determine the question with reference to its own peculiar con ditions.
