TO TEST INSURANCE BILLS.
Twill he known This Week whether the
senate Can He Influenced"

ALBANY. March 27,-Modifcations to a
great extent are being made in the Arm
strong committees insurance bills, The
notifications, however. it Is understood
are not Of a character that will cause the
insurance companies much peace Of mind.
The first real test Of the temper of the
Senate on the insurance bills will come this
week. As far as the Assembly is concerned
1t is settled that the bills shall go through
without serious opposition 80 far as the
Republicans are concerned. But in the
Senate it will be seen whether or not the
alliance that has made Benjamin B. Odell,
Jr., the legislative agent to have the fangs
taken out OF the bills il powerful enough to
do business.
To-day the Assembly advanced to a third
reading the bill legis!ating out Of Office on
November Is next the trustees Of the New
York Life and Mutual Life insurance com
panies. Thu bill will pass the lower house
this week. The same bill is on the order of
third reading in the Senate and will be
brought up on the order OF fnal passage
when Senator Armstrong returns to the
Henate.
This bill is the one present trustee OF
the mItual life insurance companies
feel the most aggrieved over, as evidenced
by their opposition to it on he last two days
OF the hearings on the bills. II they do
not emasculate this bin it will be regarded
as evidence that the legislative agent finds
he can do no business in the Senate, even
with such Influential allies as he has to back
him up.
To-day the Senate without debate ad-
vanced o a third reading Senate or Bracket g
bill repeating Section Sc of the insurance
law. Senator Bracket said he would
not press the bill for passa ge, in Senator
Arnst rong's absence. This is the bill
that gave the life insurance companies
considerable trouble last year.
Section SO prohibits a policyholder from
bringing an action against an insurance
company for an accounting without the
consent of the Acknowledgement,
An effort is 10 be made to get a resollt ion
through the Legislature con tinuing the

mittee, for the purpose Of subpoenaing
Andy Hamilton. A resolution has been
drawn in which it is recited that Hamilton
was not able to testify before the COM

yesterday afternoon and asked to zee Louis

Miller waS in his private Office with two or
his associates reading TO them a contrlbu-
ton he had Just received. II was a sketch
entitled THE Funeral, and opened with a

a knock at the door, and kaplan came in.

Mr.. Miller took them and asked whom they
were from.

edging toward the door. AS Miller tore
one open Kaplan stepped into the outer
office, drew a revolver and shot himself
in the heart. He was dead on the floor
when a doctor came.
When Mr.. Miller examined the letters
again he found that one was addressed
to the editor OF Die Wdhrheit and the other
to Miss Jennie Kaplan. II Suffolk street.

In the letter to the editor the writer gave

Kaplan's letter to his sister consisted OF
seventeen closely written pages. In il

Russia in the most affectionate terms. He
reviewed their lives, the outrages and the
sufferings that had been heaped upon them
in Russia and recounted his vain struggles
to get money enough to bring his parents
to America. In their last letter to him his
parents said they were starving, and the
knowledge that he was helpless to aid them
was more than he could bear.

ASSEMBLY Work MAPPED OUT.
Wadsworth and Committee Chatrmen Fig
ure on Adjournment About May 1.

ALBANY, March 27.-As the result Of a
three hours conference Of the chairmen
of the Assembly committees with Speaker
James w. Wadsworth, Jr., to-day the As
sembly leaders now know what legislation
Is to be passed by the lower house. The
programme as outlined Is:
Pass the insurance bills an rep orted bv
the Armstrong investigating committee.
Pass the publicity bill in regard to cam
paign contributions.
Pass the eight hour labor bill.
These are the three most important
measures on which a programme has been
outlined. The object Of the conference
was to hasten matters toward An ADJOURN
ment. Speaker WaGsworth and Majority
Leader Moreland had tried to get their
legislation in shape 80 that a resolution
TO adjourn on April Is could be introduced
in the Assembly, with the expectation that
II would be made April q by the Senate.
To-day, however, the Assembly leaders
threw up their hands in despair when adj
Journment was mentioned.
At the conference, however, il was stated
that possibly the Senate would have matters
in such shape that it could entertain a
motion to adjourn about May ! or during
the first week in May. Speaker Wads-
worth wanted the conference in order
to know what important bills were in the
various committees. so that the calendars
should not be choked with needless legis-
latlon while the important DIS were SUM
boring in committee.
The matter OF the Senate bill concerning
an investigation Of the State Banking De-
partment was brought up, but it was de-
cided that the Ways and Means Committee
should solve that problem itself, which
means there will be no investigation.
Speaker Wadsworth is most anxious to
avoid any scandals in the closing days Of
the session in regard to the character OF
some Of the bills that may come before the
house from some OF the committees. He
ia most anxious to bear out the promise
made when he was elected Speaker that
the Assembly would legislate in the inter-
ests Of the people and not Of the corpora
tionn.

LAWYER LEONARD MOVES.
-Four Vans Hurry Out His Ex-
plains the Need Of Haste.


Folks living in the vicinity of Washington
and Willoughby avenues, Brooklyn. were
somewhat surprised to see four big moving
vans back up to the large ~brownstone hous
at 2Se Washington avenue early yesterday
morning. Things were carried out in a
great hurry and carted off in the vans.
The house has been occupied for many
years by Henry W. Leonard. a lawyer,
with offices at 23l Broadway. Leonard on
Monday was before Justice Davis, In the
Supreme Court, to explain a divorce pro-
ceeding in which he was mentioned as the
lawyer who had had charge of the case.
Mrs. Alice NJ. Christmas and Edward G.
I Coppinger had obtained through Leonard's
Office certain divorce DEGREES from their
former mates 40 that the pair could wed and
DO record was produced Of their having
gone through the formality of a court pro-
ceeding in order to obtain their DEGREES.
Lawyer Leonard was called before Justice
Davis to explain the matter. He was un-
able to do so then, and the hearing was
adjourned for a week. As he left the stand
Leonard was addressed by Justice Davis
a. follows:
MIR. Leonard, somebody had perpetrated
a gross fraud upon these people, and it
looks as il it had it's origin in your Office.
1t is very important for you to clear it up"
The moving OF the Leonards in Brooklyn
created a lot of interest in the %neighhor-
hood. Such a large crowd turned out to
watch the moving that it was necessary to
call upon the police TO keep the street clear.
Mr.. Leonard was busily engaged in going
over a lot of his papers in his office yester-
day afternoon when seen by a reporter.
He explained the moving as being due to
the fact that he had sold his house on Feb
ruary 10 and that he was forced to move.
81 sold my house to a woman who lives
near by, said Mr.. Leonard, and she in
turn leased the house she was living in.
When | got home Monday night / found
this woman at my house saying that she
had to get ont OF her place Immediately
and that she must have possession of the
house | had sold to her. There was nothing
for me to do other than to move and to
move quickly. | should nave vacated the
house sooner, but ] was unable to secure
the quarters | desired. / had the furniture
moved yesterday morning to a storage
warehouse and have settled with my family
In a hotel until we find a house that suits
us
As to the divorce case he was unable TO
clear up on Monday, Mr., Leonard said he
had nothing to say other than that he would
explain everything thoroughly when the
proper time came.

THE blind PITCH TNTO,FORBES.
Denounce Charity Agent and Plead for
More Aid From the CITY.

An organization called the New York
Adult Blind Protective Union held a mass
meeting for the blind and their friends in
the Teutonia Assembly rooms, at Third
avenue and Sixteenth street, last night.
The meeting was the climax Of a small
tempest which has apparently been raised
by blind people here and their friends
by a recent article in a charity magazine
entitled "A Feudal Survival-rhe Blind
Pension" by Mendicancy Officer James
Forbes Of the New York Charity Organiza-
ton Society.
The object of the meeting was not only to
protest against the article but to maintain
and advocate an increase in the n ual
donation for the blind"
The meeting developed, however, INTO
a bitter attack on all paid agents Of all
organized charities and on Mendicancy
Officer Forbes in particular.
The article referred to condemns the
manner of the distribution Of the SIS 900
annually given out by the Department of
Charities to the i,5OO blind pensioners of
the city. No criticism of the grant itself,
however, is made, although the who,e
article was denounced last night.
Joseph Hahn, head Of the organization.
presided over the meeting, which drew an
audience of about 250 persons, one-third of
whom were blind. The chief speech, how
ever, was made by r. s. Simors. who has
been connected with the Street Cleaning
Department for eighteen years as "A lecturer
In the public schools on juvenile work. He
ts partly blind but Is not q member of the
protective Union, " and said he spoke
simply as a friend to the blind. His speech
was a bitter attack on all the "psiG agents. p
They enter onr homes, ask insulting
questions and seek information iron our
neighbors all the time. They ale always
investigating and humiliating uE. We de-
mand legislation to put a stop TO this un-
bearable, detestable andunlnwful practice.
AS for that man Forbes. his article
was libellous and ] should he the first to
emand that he he c%riminally indicted had
@ named a single Terson that he abused
o shamefully in the article"
The resolutions adopted denounce us
"cruel, inhuman and humiliating the methods
adopted by paid agents of societies" in in
vestigating cases of blind people who receive
aid from charitable organizations. Legisla-
ton to stop this is asked for. Satisfaction
with the present system of nnual distri-
button Of money by the city is expressed and
the article by Forbes is denounced.
The New York Adult Blind Protective
Union has been organized for about ten
years aud has a small membership. One
Of it, leading members is Adolph Kari. a
well dressed rensioner. who lives in n cellar
at $40 East Twenty-ifth street, in Charles
F. Murphy's district, and ostcnsibly makes
a living 10y keeping a stand at First avenue
and Twelfth street.
