WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = Senator
Dryden has revised his bill eontemplat.
ing government control of insurance
and reintroduced ii In the senate today.
He has followed very closely the inves-
tigation being conducted by the New
York legislative committee, and this
has aided him in perfecting his meas
ure, until now be expresses the belief
that it will correct practically all of the
Insurance evils exposed by the New
York inquiry.
Publicity is the keynote of the bill,
and coupled with this are safeguards
for the detection OF wrongdoing and
the punishment Of those so offending.
1t defines policies, or insurance con.
tracts, as instrumentalities OF com.
merce. The author says he believes
this will go far toward meeting the
objections of those who have question:
ed the constitutional possibilities OF
federal regulation of insurance. The
senator says the bill has the indorse.
ment of the president, administration
officials, eminent constitutional law.
yers in and ont OF congress and others
who are familiar with its general fca-
lures as coming nearer to meeting the
demands OF the situation than any OF
the other numerous pending measures.
Senator Dryden has long been a cham
pion of federal regulation.
BY this bin the business of Insurance
IL made a national interest, and ma
tional laws are hereafter to govern In
surance contracts and the conduct or
management OF insurance corporations.

WASHINGTON. Jan. I'm Jusse-
rand, the French ambassador, has dis
cussed the Moroccan situation and the
status of the relations of France and
Venezuela with Secretary Root. Wheth-
er France has decided to use force with
President Castro of Venezuela cannot
be learned. although no secret is made
of the fact that France has grown very
impatient with the Venezuelan execu-
tive.
With regard to Morocco, II has be-
come known that on the surface the at
titudes of Germany and France, as ex,
planned TO the state department, are alb
solutely identical. both countries stand
ing for the open door and unrestricted
commerce. This government agrees
with this policy. While this is the atti-
tude of the two powers, there is no
doubt that the conference will bring
out some serious difference OF opinion
as to the method of applying the policy
of the open door, This government
feels that there is really nothing in the
issues which will be discussed at Alge-
ciras to warrant war between Ger
many and France.

Letter From ga wall street Clerk
Advises Attorney General of Mis-

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Herbert s
Hadley, attorney general Of Missouri
has received the information that the
nucleus of the Standard oil company
is the confidential department at II
Broadway. of which w, K. Bemis IL
manager.
The discovery of the central point to
which reports from the various sub
sidiary companies are sent has hereto
fore proved an insurmountable problem
to Mr.. Hadley, and he and his asso
ciates in the Missouri-Standard OF
case. the antitrust litigation. are eager,
ly following up the new lines of inves-
tigation suggested by the information
concerning the confidential depart
ment," which came to Mr.. Hadley In a
letter signed "a Wall Street Clerk"
The letter, which was typewriter
and which was sent to the Missourian
read:
1.-THE nucleus of the Standard Oh
company of the world Is the confiden-
of which w. Il. Bemis is the manager
Bemis' old secretary and confidential
clerk, John J. Corkhill. knew all the Sc.
crets of the supposed separation of ths
different state companies, but reports
OF competitive shipments and deliveries
by wagons daily were all received from
w. p. o. Co. Cerkhill had some dis
agreement with the company himseif
He was made clerk in the police de-
partment, but believe went out with

Brooklyn. below Fort Hamilton. I'D
could tell you enough to flx the big fel.
lows II you can got him. You deserve
every honest mans aid, and were moi
In fear Of my position would come
out boldly and help you"
Mr.. Hadley and Assistant Attorney
General Lake have located Corkhill and
are endeavoring to verify the informa.
ton contained in the letter.
Although the policy Of delay adopted
by the Standard Oil lawyers was al
first exceedingly annoying to Attorney
General Hadley, he now finds himself
profiting Unexpectedly as a result OF
the dilatory tactics of the opposing
counsel through the discovery of new
and important witnesses.
Mr.. Hadley is in communication with
Francis d. Carley, formerly member
of the Chess Carley company of Louis
vile, KY, who sold out his interest to
Standard Oil men, and Mr.. Carley will
have an opportunity to tell his story be-
fore the commissioner. IL the proceed
ings here had gone forward in the usual
way and with customary speed the
hearing would have ended before now,
and the young attorney general from
Missouri would have missed the OPP
portunity of reaching the witnesses
who are now coming forward.
Mr.. Carley's testimony is expected to
be of unusual Importance in showing
the direct connection between the Wa
ters- Pierce company and the Standard
Oil company, partly through the afore-
mentioned transaction.
The Waters-Pierce company is one OF
the three companies directly affected
by the Missouri suit.

1000 Pounds Of Trout from BattenkiII
River,

The Bennington Banner draws atten-
tion to the Battenkll river to show what
Vermont stream may furnish in the
way of sport, with reasonably decent
treatment The catch from the Batten-
kill and its tributaries this season is
estimated at 1000 pounds and the sup
ply shows no signs OF exhaustion. The
Banner says:
"The Battenkill is one Of the few OF
the larger Vermont streams where the
native trout have not been killed out by
the substitution OF other and poorer va
rieties of fish. For the past two years
the Battenkill has been protected by
delaying the open season until June /,
also by a strong public sentiment
in favor of obeying the law, backed UP
by the vigilance of Game Warden Chase
and his assistants
It is reasonably certain too, that II
fair treatment of the stream is contin-
ued. the fishing on the Battenkill will
steadily improve. 1t is natural trout
water fed by purest of mountain springs
and unpolluted by sewage and little in
jured by sawdust, though there are still
two or three Of these nuisances on some
Of the mountain branches.
The Battenixill too, is a stream that
needs no stocking, II its fishermen will
obey the law, for the streams that feed
II are natural breeding places of brook
trout which will keep the river and iis
larger branches well filled with legal
sizes. Let the sentiment in favor Of
closely obeying the law continue and
grow and the Battenkill will long con-
tinue to show Vermonters what can be
done with a mountain river by the simple
process Of giving nature a chance to take
its course"
