TO probe the corrupt methods employed by pub

law were summoned and came by first train,
reaching the Waldorf Wednesday morning
Mr. Turner was still very weak from loss OF
blood when the members Of his family arrived
but the physicians did not fear fatal ternina-
ton Of the attack, and thoroughly were Mrs
Turner and her son assured of Mr. Turner S
speedy recovery that they returned to ST. Louis
Wednesday evening. The daughter Mrs JOY
and her husband, however, remained, with the
intention of returning home tomorrow at the
latest. -
Yesterday morning however, Mr. Turner SUI

the final draft of the insurance report and It's
ACCOMPANYING bills, Senator Armstrong, chair
man OF the investigating committee. made
flying trip from New-York City, and reached
this city before the legislature adjourned He
presented the report and eight bills embodying
It's recommendations in statutory form, bills
sweeping, aggressive almost revolutionary IN
their treatment OF present day insurance prac-
tices and the evil customs surrounding them.
The same bills were introduced in the Assem-
bly, by Mr.. Rogers who presented the report to
that body.
Worn from work and lack OF sleep. Senator
Armstrong got TO the Senate chamber just as
the House was about TO adjourn Senator
Ranes moved that he be permitted TO submit
his report An immediate meeting Of the COM
mittee called, after which the formal turn
ing in of the report and the introduction OF the
bills were accomplished supplemental re-
port and additional bills will be submitted next

ance companies will make. after long argu-
ment Senator Armstrong fixed a date for q
hearing, which will be attended by the entire
legislature. 1t will be held on March 9 at
IL 80 g. m. in the Assembly chamber. Mean
time the bills and report in the Senate are be
fore the committee of the whole, and in the
Assembly before the Insurance Committee.
Immediately after Senator Armstrong mad
presented the bills and said that he would re-
turn TO New-York tonight to complete work
! on the supplemental report and the standard
forms of policies which will accompany 1T. Sem
ator Grady brought up the old subject Of the
printed evidence.
Despite the promise Of the State Printer,
there has been much delay in the delivery of
the bound volumes, and Assemblyman Cox was
scurrying all day trying to make arrangements
by which each member of the legislature could
have copy of the testimony by the time the
report in its printed form reached them.
"Assemblyman Cox, who has had charge OF
the printing Of the testimony Senator Arm
