FEDERAL CONTROL
OF INSURANCE:
Senator Dryden Reintroduces
Revised Measure in u. S
Senate.
0uBl,ClIY IS The KEYNOTE

Insurance Evils Safeguards Pro-
vided for the Detection of Wrong
Doing.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Dry
den has revised his bill contemplate
Ing government control of insurance
md reintroduced 1t In the senate to-
day. He has followed very closely
the investigation by the New York
legislative committee and this has
aided him in perfecting his measure
until he expresses the belief that 1t
will correct all insurance evils ex.
posed by the New York inquiry.
Publicity is the keynote of the bill
and coupled with this are safeguards
for the detection of wrong doing and
the punishment of those so offedning.
1t defines policies, or insurance con-
tracts as instrumentalities of COM
merce and provides for the regula.
ton Of the business through the me-
dunn of controller of insurance and
along lines similar to the control ex-
ercised over national banks.
Senator Dryden says he believes
this will go far towards meeting the
objections of those who have ques-
toned constitutional possibilities OF
federal regulation of insurance. The
senator says the bill has the indorse-
ment of the president, administration
officers, eminent constitutional law
yers in and out of congress and others
who are familiar with its general fea-
lures as coming nearer to meeting the
demands of the situation than any
other pending measure. Senator
Dryden has long been champion Of
federal regulation.

PREMIER WITTE
TALKS VERY PLAIN

st. Petersburg, Jan. 11.-Premier
Witte yesterday made an interesting
statement to a delegation headed by
the mayor of this city which request
ed a relaxation of orders OF the pre-
feet of the police against meetings in
the interest of electoral campaign.
The premier could not promise to do
anything until after January %. While
personally he did not sympathize with
the harsh measures Of Interior Min
lister Durneyo, he regarded them as
essential. The premier could not as
sumo the responsibility for a course
which if 1t resulted in bloodshed
would make him scapegoat. He
spoke Bitterly Of the failure of the
moderates to give the government
support, saying that upon their
shoulders largely rests the burden Of
compelling the government to resort
to repression. He added:
"The emperor in the manifesto OF
October 80 at one stroke granted the
people more rights than any monarch
had ever before given, but you know
the attitude which Russia society as
sumed The governments appeals
for confidence were rejected and
every liberty granted was abused by
the revolutionists. The permission to
hold meetings was translated into IL
cense for street disturbances and as
semblages to plot against the life of
the government and the drain of the
country. l have always been opposed
to repression but the attitude of the
moderates compelled me to adopt
harsh measures. am determined to
save Russia"
While the emperor wanted the ma
tional assembly to meet as early as
possible, Premier White said that
those charged with the election fear.
ed 1t will be impossible for 1t to as
semble before April %.
Speaking Of the innumerable diff.
culties with which the government
was confronted, the premier openly
stated that many Of the provincial
authorities continued to act inde-
pendently, instancing Moscow, where
before the revolt neither the COVER.
nor-general, the governor nor the pre-
feet informed him of the conditions
prevailing there. He said the Mos.
COW revolt was more serious than
people generally believed.

lighters upon which were thirty-five

it was beaten back in the seething

compelled to abandon the unwelldy

fate. The life savers are now hur-
rying to the scene Of the wreck to
try to pick up survivors.

Sea Queen left here on Thursday with
the dredger and lighters in tow for
San Pedro, where the North American
Dredging Company had taken the con
tract to deepen the inner harbor.
Soon after getting out the wind rose
and there was heavy swell. The
combined efforts Of the tugs were
necessary to keep the three scows
from fouling the lightship. Despite
this fact the Sea Queen and Liberty
left the Sea Rover alone to start on
the journey south; they came in
Thursday night and reported all welr
with their consort. Soon after dark
it became evident that the position of
the four crafts was extremely critical.
1t was proposed to cut the hawsers
and run for it, leaving the scows to
their fate. But Captain Fitchworth
of the Sea Rover would not hear of
giving up rs long as there was hope,
and continued the struggle against the
storm until daylight, when they saw
they were between the double point
and Duxbury reef and that disaster
was inevitable.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that seven men had been rescued and
that twenty-seven were facing death
in the reef.

REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE
EMPEROR; is SHOT

st. Petersburg, Jan. IA tragedy
in which student paid with his life
the penalty of refusing to do honor
to the old regime, took place in the
famous restaurant "The Bear" short
ly after midnight. The annual cere-
mony of watching the old year out
was being observed with something
like the old time festivities. The
great hall was crowded when the or.
chestra of Mile. Rigo, a sister of the
paramour of the Princess Chimay,
upon the stroke of midnight burst
forth with God Save the Emperor.
The guests, with the exception Of a
student named Davidoff, a member of
an aristocratic family, rose to their
feet and the officers present de-
manded an encore, being determined
to turn the celebration into q loyalist
demonstration.
Count Sherometreff, relative of
the notorious Moscow ireac dictionary, ap-
piled an epithet to IDavidoff for re-
fusing to honor the national anthem
and pulled his chair from under him.
Hot words followed and suddenly,
in the midst of the joyous acclama-
ton of New Years, the guests were
startled by five SLOTS in rapid sue
cession and the corpse of the student
lay on the floor. Understandable con-
fusion followed.
Count Sherometreff, in addition to
killing Davidoff, founded two women.
Three companions of Davidofr,
armed with champagne bottles, at
tackled the murderer, who, with
blood streaming from his face, man
aged to fight bis way to the door.
Women shrieked and tainted.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-Speak-
en- Cannon and Representative Bah
cock of wisconsin, the latter the
leader of the insurgent forces in the
house, had an interesting meeting
yesterday In the speakers room. Out
of Mr.. Babcock's visit several inter
esting stories were circulated, some
of a sensational character, which
would indicate serious breach between
the two gentlemen. That they differ
In their views upon the Philippine
tariff bill and the statehood bill has
long been evident, and 1t vas in re-
gard to these differences that the
meeting occurred yesterday. Mr..
Babcock took exception to an article
appearing in the newspaper and pre-
farred a request that he be recog-
hized on matter of personal privi-
lege in the house to deny 1t. The
conversation revealed the fact that
Mr.. Babcock was under the impress
sion that the article to which he OBJ
jected had been instigated by the
speakers friend.
He was assured that such was not
the case, and the interview termln-
ated without disclosing more tran
radical differences as to the bills
which are now the chief topic of con-
yersation about the house.
Members of the insurgent faction
now maintain that sixty-three repub-
licans are positively pledged to vote
against the proposed rule preventing
the amendment of the Hamilton joint
statehood bill. The insurgents insist
their forces. are gaining strength at
a rapid rate and declare the trouble
between Mr.. Babcock and the speaker
has cemented them more closely.
Under present conditions the con-
sideration OF the Hamilton bill Is said
to be out of the question.
The administration is still firm Il
insisting on the passage of the joint
statehood bill without modification.
Compromise measures are not longer
under consideration by the instr
ents, and statehood Legislation
seems a deadlock at present.

on the contrary he was asking only
for an emergency appropriation to

mously Increased business of the last
few msnths with no Increase in the

had, he said, gone to the limit of his
