SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Transmits One Relating tc
Insurance to Congress.

President Transmits One Relating to
Insurance to Congress.
hington-President Roosevelt
has transmitted to congress an import
ant message relating to insurance
legislation. Accompanying the mes.
sage were the report and recommen-
dations of the insurance convention,
which was held in Chicago last Feb
ruary. Among the recommendations
is the draft of a bill for an insurance
code for the District of Columbia,
which congress is urged to enact into
law, with such amendments as its wis
dom may suggest. Concerning this
draft the president says:
"Refore adjourning the Chicago con.
vention appointed n committee of
three attorneys general and IL COM
missioners of insurance of the various
states to prepare and have presented
to the congress a bill which should
embody the features suggested by the
convention Tho committee roooEuy
met Ia OhiUasV, and Ia thorough and
painstaking fashion sought to prepare
q bill which should be at once protec-
tive of policy holders ard ct - 49,
10 insurance companies, and which
should prevent the graver evils and
abuses of the business, and at the
same time forestall any wild or dras-
tic legislation which would be more
harmful than beneficial"
The president urges the enactment
Of the proposed measure. as. he says,
1--WE are not to be pardoned If we fail
10 take every step in our power to
prevent the possibility Of the repeti-
lion of such scandals as those that
have occurred in connection with the
insurance business as disclosed by the
Armstrong committee"
The bill recommended was drafted
by amending the measure introduced
in congress by Representative Butler
Ames of Massachusetts.
1t provides fOr the establishment of
an insurance bureau in the depart
ment of commerce and labor, and for
the appointment of a commissioner
who shall have no official connection
with any insurance company or who
shall not be interested in the business
Of any company except as policy
holder
If, upon examination. the commits
sioner is of the opinion that any do
nestle insurance company is insOlvent
Or has exceeded it's powers or is in
any manner transacting business con-
trary to the provisions of this act, the
bill provides the commissioner shall
lay the facts before the attorney gen
eral, who may apply to the supreme
court of the district for an injunction
restraining its further business.
Under the same conditions he is au-
! horized to revoke the certificate of a
foreign insurance company
The bill contains plan whereby all
policy holders shall be enabled to par
icipate through proxies in the cleo
lion of directors at the annual meet
ings.

Two Rov Heroes,

Beverly, Mass.-Charles Moses Ken
ney, the four-year.old son of Capt.
Sti!lman Kenney of II Quincy park,
had a narrow escape the other day
from suffocation from smoke at his
home.
The little fellow was left alone in
the house at play. An Overheated
stove set fire to the woodwork in the
kitchen and a lively blaze was soon
in progress, Somebody saw the smoke
and turned in an alarm.
Two boys, Arthur Preston Of Lo-
throp street and Newton Marshall,
also of Lothrop street, saw the child
standing at the second story window
of the burning building. The boys
hurried to the rear door but found it
locked. Then they climbed upon the
piazza roof, and breaking q window.
made their way through the smoke
into the room where the child was and
brought him out on to the roof of the
piazza. He was taken to the ground
by firemen, who had arrived by that
time.
The child was considerably affected

Dam Gave Wav in Nioht.

West Canaan, N. H.-The dam at
the outlet of Crystal lake went out
in the night of April 1G and the body
of water, which is about one mile by
one mile and a half, came rushing
down toward West Canaan in torrents.
The highway bridge at the foot OF
the lake has been carried away. The
water flowage is owned by the Amer
lean wooden company. The hotel Rol-
Inns and many cottages are located
along the shores of the lake.
The water runs from Crystal lake
to Mascoma lake, thence the Masco-
ma river takes the water through Le-
banon, entering the Connecticut river
at West Lebanon. This lake has
been screened for fishing purposes and
this summer sport will be ruined.
The body of water was controlled
by gates and used to supply mills at
Enfield and Lebanon in times of low
water This morning a trout nearly
"a inches long was seen in the grass
land near the outlet.
No serious damage is apprehended,
unless it be at West Canaan. There is
such a large quantity of low land
about here that it will take care OF
a big lot of water.

Small PoIicyhoIdero Sufferers

New York,-A statement given out
by the Equitable life assurance So
ciety says:
Investigation shows that the fears
engendered by the developments Of the
year resulted in the lapsing of 21,SS5
policies for $1,000 or under, while only
one policy for $250,OOO was allowed to
lapse. OF the entire volume of lapsed
policies "a percent were for $4,000 or
less"
In commenting on the results of his
efforts to restore the standing of lapsed
policy holders, President Morton said:
MY belief that the small policy
holder was the chief sufferer from the
agitation and excitement regarding
life insurance are now confirmed The
holders of policies of $4,000 and upward
are generally men of business expert
ence. ThSough fear, based on msap-
prehenson of the real facts, and often
on Misrepresentation thousands of
small policy holders allowed their pol
ices to lapse

Augusta, Me.-What the defence
regards as an absolute demonstration
Of the innocence of Mrs. Alice f. Coop
er, who Is charged with having delib.
erately shot Charles d. Northy, Jr,
was introduced Tuesday afternoon In
the form OF experiments with dupli.
cate Of the revolver which Mrs, Coop.
CT owned. ProG. ora w. Knight Of
Bangor and II, NJ. Heath, senior COun.
sci for the defendant. had developed
series Of tests with 4 revolver to
which Prof. Knight testified These,
the defence declares, establishes sui
eide.
The results, counsel assert, show
that the only way possible to produce
the appearance of the flesh and hair
that the prosecution physicians say
they noticed about the wound in
Charlie Northy's temple, Is by dis
charging the revolver in contact with
the target. Only by pressing the 32'
ealiber weapon firmly against the
scalp and discharglng it could this
phenomena be obtained, says the de.
fence.
The testimony of the prosecution
| medical men was that the bullet hole
in Charlie Northy's temple was in the
posterior part of a circular blackened
area, the largest part of the Colored
surface being in front of the wound;
that there were no powder burns in
| the flesh of this darkened area. or up.
on the hair. and that only the hair
about the margin of the wound was
singed and curled by the heat, the eX.
amples of the latter being few and OBJ.
sCure.
Mr.. Heath declares that Prof.
| Knights experiments with the dupli'
cate of Mrs. Cooper's revolver estab'
| fishes a certainty that in order to pro.
duce darkened area one inch in di.
| ameter, to leave no powder marks in
the flesh, to singe and curl no hair eX,
| Cept about the margin of the hole and
| to leave traces of powder grains only
In the tissues inside the opening of
the wound, the revolver must have
been pressed hard against Charlie
| Northy's temple on Oct. 10, when it
was discharged.
This Mr.. Heath holds to be the
foundation Of his defence. He believes
| that with Prof knights demonstra'
tion, fresh in the minds of the jury
it cannot find that Mrs. Cooper shot
Charley Northy.
| Mr.. Heath Ia 40 thoroughly con
vinced of the probative force Of this
evidence that he would be willing to
have the jury disregard many other
features of his defence.
1t is believed that the defence will
close its evidence by Wednesday
night and the state promises that its
rebuttal will be brief. Mr.. Heath,
therefore, plans to begin his argu-
ment Thursday morning. Atty. Gen.
Hamlin expects to reply in three.
hour talk to the jury and the case
may go to the jury Friday afternoon

Marching on Ski.

Skiing is one of the training exer-
cises of the French Alpine battalions,
and detachment Of the battalion sta
toned at Albertville has just had
wild experience in trying to reach
the summit of the Col de la Louise,
from Arches The men, who started
in snow and fog, frequently sank to
their knees, and as they got higher,
even to the breast. while all traces
of any route was quite obliterated.
The men fought on for six or seven
hours, but at last Major Frisch was
compelled to order retreat with the
object of the march unaccomplished.
1t was II at night when the party got
back to Arches, fortunately without
serious accident, but after many es-
capes.

Fire Works EXPLOSION,

Weymouth, Mass.-An explosion oc-
Cured recently at the fireworks fac
tory of Edmund W. Hunt & Sons on
Broad street in a small One-story
building, 20 feet square. The building
was known as the mixing room, being
a place wrere powerful explosives are
prepared. William Thorpe, the only
person in the building, escaped without
any injury. The structure was set on
fire and burned to the ground Aside
from the building, the loss is small,
as only small quantity of the chemi-
calls is kept in the building at any one
time. The cause of the explosion
was said to be a cannon cracker in
the hands of the workman igniting.
The private hose system about the
plant failed to work and the blaze
gained good headway before the fire
department arrived.

DECISION ON DIVORCE.
United States Supreme Court lnvaIh
dates a Connecticut Decree.

Washington, d. C.-In an opinion
by Justice White, the supreme court
of the United States has just decided
the case OF Harriet Paddock VS.. John
w. Paddock, a divorce proceeding in
stituted in the courts Of New York
City, in favor of the woman.
The Paddocks were married in 1868,
and the husband claimed to have been
an unwilling participant in the Cere-
mony. He says in his answer to the
woman's complaint that he left her
Immediately after the marriage rites
were performed, and during all the
time that interviewed has seen her only
three times.
In 1881 he secured a divorce in Con-
necticut where he then lived, and in
1882 was married there to another
woman. The New York supreme court
held the second marriage ceremony to
be Illegal, decreed the first wife to be
still the legal wife and directed Pad
dock to pay her an annuity of $3.50.
The finding was sustained by Mon
days decision which held that Mrs.
Paddock was without the jurisdiction
of the Connecticut court
Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principle that
state in which only one party 10 4
divorce proceeding resides has no right
to dissolve a marriage tie which all
other states must respect.
justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown
united in a dissenting opinion, when
WAS delivered by Justice Brown. They
took the position that the Connecticut
| divorce proceeding was regular ana
| is entitled to due credit in other states
Stating the federal question to be
that as to whether the constitution or
! the United States had been violated by
| The New York court in failing to give
due faith and credit to the decree or
! the Connecticut court granting a dl-
vorce to Haddocli, Justice White pro-
ceeded at great length to show that
such had not been the case
Taking up the case on its merits,
Justice White illustrated the effect or
the success of the contention in behalf
of MIR. Haddock by saying that IF the
fact be that where persons are married
il the state of New York either OF
the parties-to the marriage may in Vlo-
lation of the marital obligations desert
the other and go into the state OF Con-
necticlt, there acquiring domlcile
and procure dissolution of the mar
riage there domiciled, it would follow
that the power of the stato "i Ne"
York as to the dissolution of the mar
riage as to it's domiciled citizens would
be of no practical avail
"And, conversely, the like result
would follow if the marriage had been
celebrated in Connecticut deseruon
had been from that state to New York
and consequently the decree had been
| rcuTercu IN rev IoTk. Even super
fetal analysis will make this clear.
Under the rule contended for 1t
would follow that the states whose
| Iaws were the mosL lux as 70 ienSth VI
residence required for domicile as to
causes for divorce, and to speed of pro-
Cedure concerning divorce, would in
effect dominate all other states"
Justice Brown declared in his opin-
ion that the court had taken a back
ward step in this direction.
