QUEEN OF U. s. EMPHASIZES
GEORGIA MAKES FINE SHOWING
 OFFICIAL TRIAL.

Not Only Exceeds by More Than n
 Quarter of Knot the Speed Required
 by Her Contract but Establishes Her.
 self as the Fastest of Her Type of
 Warship in the American Navy.
 Portland, Me, June 14.--The battle ship Georgia on her official speed trial to-day, made a record of 1926 knots an hour, not only exceeding by more than quarter of knot the speed re- quired by her contract, but establish ing herself as the fastest 'battleship of the United States navy. Her record ex- ceeds by 6-10O knots that of the New Jersey. made off the New England coast on March 29, which was the best previous showing in the battleship class.
 The endurance and acceptance test of the Georgia began early in the fore noon, the battleship having left Rock land before o'clock a. n., and all con- ditions were favorable. The starting line was between Rockland and Mon began, and the course extended out to sea in a long circle, terminating at the end of the four hours at the Cape Eliz- abeth lightship.
 The first hours run was the best, 19.33 knots being made. On the sec- ond hour 1927 knots were made; 19.241 in the third, and 1920 in the final hour. During the last hour the supply of pick ed coal gaveout and the ordinary fuel was used. This reduced the speed for that hour, and brought down the av- craze eorrespondingly.
 The builders trial, held yesterday off Rockland, indicated that 11S.9 revolu- tions of the propeller per minute would develop the contract speed. Tn aver age attained to-day was 122.28 revolu- tions per minute.
 After covering the course the Georgia came into this harbor and the naval trial boards and the spare crew were landed. The members of the trial boards started for Washington during the day. John s. Hyde, president of the Bath Iron works, where the Georgia was built sent the following telegrams to Governor Terrill of Geogia:
 Georgia just finished official Gcial, proving fastest battleship in American navy"
 The Georgia, in the course of the aft ernoon, started for Bath, where she will be completed. She will be ready to be placed in commission within two months.

ADVISES A HARTFORD
 FIRE INS. Co. TO PAY
WARNING MESSAGE SENT BY INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
 OF NEVADA.

Tells the Concern to Pay Hundred
 Cents on the Dollar of It's San Fran
 cisco Losses or Else Cease Doing
 Business in That State-DisruptiOn of
 Underwriters Bureau Companies
 Who Do Not Pay in Full Will be
 Driven from California.
 Carson City. New, June 14.-State In- surance Commissioner Davis has advis- ed fire insurance company of Hart ford, Conn, by message to it's pres ident, to pay 100 cents on the dollar of it's San Francisco loses or cease doing business in Nevada. This action was taken when it was reported to Comnlis- sioner Davis that the company in ques- ton had agreed to pay only 75 per cent of its losses in San Francisco.
 San Francisco, June 14.-A disruption of the fire underwriters bureau to-day resulted from the attempt of sixty-one insurance companies to reduce their liabilities to sufferers in the fire of April IS and 19 by cut of 25 per cent. The thirty-two companies that are de- termined to pay losses in full met in Oakland to-day and organized indepen- dently of the underwriters bureau. None of the companies that voted for horizontal cut of 25 per cent. was ad- mitted to the meeting.
 Companies that refuse to pay fire in surance in full will be driven from Cal- ifornia, according to State Insurance Commissioner D. M Wolf, who is back ed by Attorney General Webb.
 Under the law of California. Com missioner Wolf to-day said, 'the state insurance commissioner summarily re- vokes the license of any insurance com- pany for the state when there is cause. Certainly, the payment of only 75 per cent. of losses would be cause And not only would 1t be proof of unsoundness and unfltness to do business, but il would be the plainest evidence of dis honesty"

 Speaker Resents the Insinuationn
 Amid Great Applause.
 Washington. June 14.-Not in years has the house of representatives wit messed a more dramatic scene than one to-day, incident to the adoption of the conference report on statehood.
 At the close of a wearisome day's de- date on the sundry civil bill, the geo. logical survey discussion occupying the major portion of the days proceedings MT. Hamilton of Michigan, chairman of the committee on territories, called up the conference report on the statehood bill and amid cheers moved it's adop- tion. Marcus A. Smith, the Arizona del- egate, took occasion in a guarded way to insinuate that there had been undue influence used in postponing an agree ment in conference.
 smarting under what he believed to be direct inslnuation against him Speaker Cannon impetuously left the chair, calling MT. Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania to the desk, and asked for five minutes to explain his position Thun-- ders of applause greeted the speaker, democrats and republicans participat- ing.
 Finally order was restored and then, measuring every word Speaker Cannon said: '"The coming into the union of Oklahoma and the Indian territory meets my approval If I had my choice and were supreme I would infinitely prefer to see Oklahoma and Indian teT- ritory come separately with an aggre- gate population of 2,500000, with four senators, rather than to see New Mex leo and Arizona come together, and God knows whether than to come singly with about 100000 population, with four senators.

YOLIVA ON THE STAND.
Presents Striking Contrast to the
 Broken Down DowIe.

Broken Down DOwie.
 Chicago, June 14.-Wilbur Glenn Vo- liva, successor of John Alexander Dowie, occupied the witness stand for brief time to-day in the suit relating to the ownership of Zion City. Voliva presented a striking contrast to Dowie, and showed no signs of nervousness, answering all questions slowly and in a firm voice. Voliva's testimony related to transfers of real estate in Zion City prior to the transfer of Zion City to Alexander Granger at the time of the deposition of Dowie.
 Alexander Granger general financial manager of Zion and deacon in the Christian Catholic Apostolic church, followed Voliva. He testified that no personal property had been sold to Vo- liva prior to the transfer of the city.
 A number of bills of sals and instru- ments of transfer were then read to the court purporting to show how Zion City was taken from Dowie and given to Alexander Granger under the power of attorney given Voliva by Dowie.

SITUATION VERY GRAVE.
Outbreak at BiaIystolx stiIl in Progress
 at Midnight.

St. Petersburg, June 15.-2:15 a. n.- The latest dispatches from Bialystok, which were received about midnight, re- ported situation of the utmost gray ity. The anti-Jewish outbreak there is still raging; fighting was in progress an the streets and the firing was con- tinuous; the best stores in the city had ben sacked and many were dead or wounded. Figures, however, were not given and probably the casualties are not known in Bialystok, owing to the continuance of the disorders
 The signal for the outbreak, which apparently was deliberately planned, perhaps as counter stroke for the murder of Chief of Police Derkatchoff, on June 1O which was attributed to Jewish bundists, is given as the explo- sion of bomb during a religious pro oession. This was followed by revolver fusilades in several quarters of the city, The police are said not to have at tempted to interfere in the early stages of tha riot. The Jews, who number three-fourths of the population of the city, offered the best resistance possi- ble, many of them being armed, but were unable to prevent the pillaging of their homes and places of business. Finally the military interfered, but, &C., cordtng to advices received here, with out being able to restore order. Rein forpments have been rushed to Bialys- tok from Grodno.
 Several members of parliament to- night received messages from Jewish correspondents at Bialystok, declaring that the police apparently had given over the Hebrew population to slaugh- ter and pillage.l These correspondents urged that the only hope was in an ap- peal to the ministry of the interior to interfere in their behalf. A delegation of deputies immediately called at the headouarters of the police department where they were informed that all measures possible had been taken to stop excesses and restore order.

Teller saying that 1t was en- tirely understood that regardless of what the senate may do, the house will not act on the measure in any event during the present session, and MT. Hopkins that no possible harm could come from a postponement.
 Senator Hale expressed a desire 10 se- cure 8 vote during the present session, saying that if the decision as to the type Is to be postponed there ought to be no further work on the canal.

 After further discussion an agreeme ent was reached to vote on the final pass age of the bill before adjournment on Thursday, June 21, the voting to begin on amendments at p. in. of that day.
