East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-03-09

Albany, n. Y, March 9.-It was
shortly after half past II this fore
noon when Senator Armstrong chair
man of the insurance investigation
committee appointed by the state
legislature, called the committee to
order in the assembly chamber of the
capitol, to begin the public hearing
of arguments for and against the pro-
posed insurance legislation, as based
upon the recent report of the Arm
strong committee. The hall was well
filled, when the session was opened.
Besides a large number of senators
and assemblymen there were repre-
sentatives of a score of insurance
companies present, considerable
number of lawyers directly or indi-
rectly concerned with insurance mat
ters, and a large crowd of spectators
from all parts of the state, who are
interested in the subject to be consid-
cred at the meeting. Senator Arm
strong explained the object of the
session and gave an outline of the
lines along which the hearing would
be conducted.
1t was decided to conduct the
hearing upon the following lines:
Restriction of expenses; limitation of
business; prohibition of stock and
collateral trust bond ownership. Each
of these topics has ramifications
which extend to other subjects, which
taken together, will practically cover
the entire field. 1t is expected that
the public hearing will continue for
some time, as every point incorporat-
ed in the report of the Armstrong
committee and in the various bills in
troduced in the legislature, since the
report of the committee was submit
ted, will be carefully discussed.
The large insurance companies are
well represented by their officials and
able lawyers and will make a deter
mined effort to convince the commit
tee that some of the provisions in the
laws already introduced are absurd
and prohibitive in their character and
would do great injustice and injury
TO the Insurance business in this
state.
Particularly strong attacks will be
made on the efforts to restrict the
business of the insurance companies.
1t will be maintained that under the
recommendations of the committee
as incorporated in the proposed laws
ii would be impossible for any of the
large insurance companies to write
more than about s50,000,000 of new
business a year. This would be ruin
Gus, as the total Examinations by death
maturity, etc, aggregate from $780,
100000 to $3.50, 100000 a year with
the large companies. The result
would be that their entire business
would eventually be wiped out in a
few years.
1t is believed that no opposition will
be made by any of the large COM
panies TO the recommendation that
the existing management of all the
mutual companies shall expire on
November Is, and that all existing
proxies be void; also that all annual
meetings, set for an earlier date be
postponed until after November /.
This will do away with the Lawson
menace, which has overhung the life
insurance situation like a black cloud.
1t also will give those trustees who
are anxious to retire a chance 10
withdraw.

ILLNESS OF POPE
ALARMS VATICAN.
Piux K. Formed to Take to His Bed and
Condition Is Observation-Disclosures
with Work.

ROME, May 19-Pope Plus X, who
was reported Friday as suffering from
the govt, is much more seriously i'll to-
day. and has taken to his bed under
strict orders from his physician. His
condition this morning was somewhat
improved says DR.. Lapponi, the Pope's
physician.
The Vatican is alarmed at the serious
turn for the worse. The Pope has been
forced to suspend all his audiences His
face has assumed an ashen pallor, is
lined in every direction with deep fur
rows, and instead of the briskness which
formerly characterized his movements he
now seems to drag himself YEARLY.
There is a painful impression at the
Vatican that he has not long to live.
He was accustomed to taking plenty of
exercise while at Venice and during the
first two years of his pontifcate he was
able to keep himself in fairly goou condi-
ton by long walks in the Vatican
grounds.
Lately the pontiff has given up walks
and is found for more than half the
hours of every day at his desk. To the
protests of DR.. Lapponi he insists he has
no time for outdoor exercise.
The fact of the matter is that the
Pope is simply overwhelmed with work,
which is accommodating all the time, ow-
ing to his reluctance to have anything
done in his name which has neither his
cognizance nor approval.

MUENTER in MADISON :?
WOMAN SAID TO HAVE SEEN MISS
ING HARVARD INSTRUCTOR.
Police of Capital Run Down Every Clue
Was Reported Recently IN Phil
adelphia Morgue.

MADISON, Wis, May 22.-tSpecial.l
It is reported that Prof. Erich Mucnter
Of Harvard, wanted for the murder of
his wife, is in Madison, having been
seen yesterday by people who knew him
n Chicago. The police are investigating.
A Madison woman saw man on the
street yesterday whom she is sure is
the Harvard instructor. The police
have little to work on, however, but are
today making efforts to run down every
clew.
This supposed recognition of the man
who is said to have killed his wife, who
was a Wisconsin woman. conflicts with
reports recently received from the east.
A few days ago a man in the morgue at
Philadelphia, believed to have been
suicide, was thought to have been Muen-
ter.
Muenter married Miss Krembs. who
had relatives in Milwaukee. She was
well known in the southern part OF
the state, and met and married the Har-
ward man near Kenosha, where she was
living at that time.

Monday, June 4. 1t is announced from
