ARMSTRONG REPORT
MEETS OPPOSITION
Demand for Investigation
Of Industrial Companies.
IRREGULARITIES PROBABLE
New York Senate Asked to Appoint
Committee and Supply Neces-
sary Appropriation.

ALBANY. y. y, Feb. 23.-The first
! legislative criticism Of the report Of the
Armstrong investigation committee
came this morning in the form Of a
movement for the further investiga ton
Of Industrial life Insurance companies,
on the ground that these companies
escaped their shares Of censure H. the
recommendations and bills submittad TO
the Legislature yesterday
On behalf of Senator FTawley. Senator
Grady introduced a concurrent resolu-
tion declaring that the pOlicyholders Of
industrial companies are more numerous
and less able 10 protect their interests
than the policyholders and benehCiaries
Of the companies already Investigated.
and ia is fair TO presume that the same
Irregularities appertain TO industrial in
suTance as has been disclosed by the
recent investigation.
For Investigating Committee.
Therefore. the resolution asks for the
appointment of a committee consisting
Of three senators and fve assemblymen
TO investigate and examine the business
and affairs Of the Industrial life insur-
auce companies Of the State, with refer
ence 10 their investments, etc. and re-
port TO the Legislature with recommen-
datious for remedial legislation, should
il be found desirable. The committee
is 10 have all the powers Of the Arm
strong committee and $1,000 is to be ap-
propriated for it's expenses.
The resolution, to be effective. must
be adopted by both houses. In the alb
sence of a quorum in the Senate it was
laid over without reference until later
meeting.
Defends Industrial Companies.
The report of the Armstrong commit
tee makes no recommendation regard
ing industrial insurance. It says that
the evidence obtained does not warrant
legislation affecting these corporations
Senator FTawley believes that If the in
vestigatiOn had been thorough enough
IL would have disclosed irregularities and
abuses needing correction.

More Police Pay Urged
By West and Sylvester
Tell House Members Men
on Force Need 1t.
MORE THAN EARN INCREASE
Washington Patrolman Has More Work
to Do Than Colleague in
ANY Other City.

Better pay and more speedy promo
tion for the members OF the metropoli-
tan police force were the subjects
strongly advocated today by District
Commissioner West and Major Sylves-
ter. before the ways and means sub
committee of the House District Com
mittee. OF which subcommittee Mr..
| Campbell of Kansas is chairman.
BY the provisions of the Commission
ers' bill. salaries are fixed, TO begin
with the fiscal year of 1867.
Periods of Probation.
BY the bill, it is stipulated that. after
a probationary period of three years.
privates of class one may be promoted
TO class two, and privates of class two,
after a probationary period Of five years,
may be promoted to class three. Con-
sequently, all promotions in grade pro-
vided for in the bin shall occur three
and five years after the passage OF the
bill
Another bin is before the committee
seeking to make the promotions men
toned immediate. This was introduced
by Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin.
Commissioner West, the first speaker
before the committee. explained that
the Commissioners are against the
Cooper bill because, II that bin should
mediate expenditure OF 100000.
Promotion at Once Unwise.
THE Commissioners" he said. would
be glad to reward these faithful Off
GERS with these Immediate promotions
but they felt that, in view Of the pres
ent heavy drains on the local finances
they would be glad TO have Congress
take such action as would make sure
the promotions in three and five years
! from the passage of the bill
Many of our officers" he declared
| have awaited patiently. but vainly, the
| promotions they deserve"
Mr. West said he favored the Com
missiOners' bin because IL is stronger
than the Cooper bill in giving the Com
missioners absolute and final jurisdic-
tion in the matter Of infractions Of the
| police manual by policemen

IS. If the location of the permanent
capital is deferred for ten years an adj
ditlonal five " ars viii elapse before a
building can De erected for the use OF
tire State government, thereby creating
great inconvenience and financial loss
to the people of the State.
'9. To deny the right OF the people to
locate the capital Immediately following
the organization of the State govern
ment would lead to acrimonious conten-
ton in the State Legislature over the
location of all our public institutions

Want Popular Choice.

Il. The people of both Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory. outside OF Guthrie,
unanimously favor the proposed amend
ment. Following the election and organ
ization of the State government, they
desire in 1903 TO locate the capital by
popular vote, free from all local or par
tisan influences.
-. The State government Of Okla
homa, after the adoption of the consti-
tuition, Will be as extensive in all its de-
paTJmentS as the State government of
Kansas, or of many other States In
the interest of economy and the proper
transaction OF the public business the
people should have the right to select
a an early day the capital site and pro-
vide for a capital building.
&c. AT the present time nearly $500 0J0
derived from leasing lands reserved by
Congress for public buildings is in the
territorial treasury, and the fund is rap
Idly increasing. When these lands are
sold, as provided in the bill the fund
Will be further increased 70 not less than
$, ,00C, 900, available for the erection of a
capital building, and for charitable and
penal institutions.
Z. II is contrary to a sound public
policy to allow this large fund 70 remain
IN the State treasury, as in the banks
for a series of years. 1t should be deyot-
ed to the specific purpose for which II
is intended. A large surplus is likely TO
result in Improper or eXtTayagant leg
islatiOn.

here TO protest against Guthrie being
made the capital of the new State until

pent-up III feeling Of years against Guth-

Protest to Senate
The following resolutions were unani-

ITO the Senate of the United States:
'The people of Oklahoma City, assem-

earnestly appeal to your honorable body
10 amend the pending Statehood bill by
striking out the clause locating the cap
ital of the prOposed State of Oklahoma
at Guthrie until 1915 In support We
present the following reasons;
Il. So far as we are advised there Is
no precedent in Congress for locating a
State cap tai in an enabling act, except
for the time necessary to put the State
government in motion.
80. To locate the capital at Guthrie
or at any other place, for ten Years is
purely a local question with which Con-
gTess ought not to deal.

Statehood they are certainly capable OF
locating their permanent seat Of govern

MORE SHOCKS.
Salinas, Calf, Shaken Three
Times During the Night.

Los Angeles. Cal, April 27.-A long
distance telephone message to this city
from a correspondent Of the Associated
Press at Salinas, u miles south of San
Francisco, at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing states that three more very heavy
earthquake shocks we're felt there last
night, one at o'clock, another at $3.50
and the last at o'clock this morning.
The shocks lasted about four seconds
each but 50 far as known did no dam
age. The news could not be reported
from Salinas earlier because OF the
lack of all communication. The dam
age at Salinas from the earthquake
shock Of last week is in excess of one
million dollars. The Salinas river is
reported to have sunk ten or twelve
feet all along its course for miles
Nearly all of the bridges across the
river have been condemned and will
have to be rebuilt.
Another telephone message received
at II O'Clock from the Offices of the
Salinas Index by the Evening Express
says that the earthquakes have been
felt there daily since the first disturb
ance, April Is, but no further damage
was done.

shooting in the vicinity of Ellis, Eddy,
Geary and Fillmore streets where The
districts of the militia and marines
touch It became so unsafe on the
streets that the police refused to go into
that district patrolled by the militia,
declaring that they were afraid of being
shot. 1t was not uncommon for the
militia sentries to stop even police Off
GERS. Policeman Barrett was relieved
of his revolver and handouts and at
another time Lieutenant of Police
Wright was held up in full uniform
Half dozen shots were fired about
II o'clock last night and half an hour
later while Captain Rittenhouse. COM
manding officer of the Fourth section,
was sitting on his horse in front of the
central police station at Bush and Fill

ton of his posts, the sharp crack of
rifle -vas heard again. He hastily rode
In the direction of the shot and return
ed in a few minutes with Wilder who he
declared had entered the district pa
trolled by the marines and fred several
shots. Wilder's post was on Geary
street near Fillmore street. He did not
deny shooting, out asserted he had fred
but once.
Captain Rittenhouse took Wilder's
rife from him and turned him over to
Lieutenant Of Police Wright. The mill
tiaman was apparently badly frightened
and so confused that it was with diff
Guilty that Lieutenant Wright got a CO.
herent tale from him. He said he saw
a movement in the darkness which he
took to be a mad dog and fired. He
was not certain but what it was a
man he had shot but whatever 1t was
he was sure that his aim had been true.
If 7 have killed a man may God
bless him, - exclaimed the frightened
sentry. In a very apologetic tone he
assured the police that he was only 20
years of age-a mere yOuth-practicaI-
ly raw recruit in the service and had
Wright sarcastically informed Wilder
that he evidently was afraid of his
shadow Several policemen were sent
with Wilder to make an investigation
and ascertain what he had shot. On
Geary street, near Fillmore. they found
the victim Of the sentry's bullet, a small
pet dog. Finding that he had not kill
ed man Wilder gave a deep sigh of
relief and quickly regained his COM
posure.
Lieutenant of Police Wright arraigned
Wilder in acidulous language, declar-
ing that it was such reckless shooting
at every movement in the dark, which
had made the city unsafe at night and
advised the mflitiaman to go back to
the farm. Wright intended to release
Wilder and ordered him back to his
post, but Captain Rittenhouse remon-
strated and said he did not propose tc
have q militia's entry shoot up his
district alarm the neighborhood and
have the blame laid on the marines.
Wilder was taken to the headquarters
of his company at Cough and Rutter
streets and turned over to Corporal
Harms who placed him under arrest
and sent him to the guard house.

DOWIES MEET.
The First Apostles Wife Visits Him at
His Hotel.

Chicago, April 27.-Following re-
ports that John Alexander Dowie is a
very sick man, Overseer Jane Dowie,
wife of the deposed head of the
church, visited her husband in his
apartments at the Auditorium Annex.
This is the first time Dowie and his
wife have seen each other IN several
months. When General Overseer VIII
bur Glen Voliva assumed control at
Zion City Mrs. Dowie cast her lot with
the new administration and since re-
pudiated her husband publicly several
times. Because of this state of affairs,
those interested in the controversy
over Zion City place a great deal Of
significance in the visit of Mrs. Dowie.
Mrs. Dowie was accompanied to the
Annex by her son, Gladstone Dowie,
but the latter did not enter the room
occupied by his father. Mrs. Dowfe
remained in her husbands apartments
for half an hour, after which she was
again joined by her son and they re-
turned to Zion City.
That Mrs. Dowies visit to her hus-
band was for the purpose of a death
bed reconciliation was denied by those
associated with Dowie who assert that
she called on Dowie to arrange for his
proposed return to Zion City and his
reception at Shiloh The report that
Dowie was in a dying condition was
denied by all those still faithful to him.
