hNTl-HkZiNG BILL
Secretary Bonaparte Submits One to
House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The submis
sion by Secretary Bonaparte Of an
anti-hazing bill and testimony by Rear
Admiral Sands, superintendent of the
naval academy. IS to the discipline at
Annapolis were features of the meet
ing Of the house committee on naval
affairs. Admiral Sands surprised many
members Of the committee by stating
frankly that no investigation had been
made at Annapolis to determine
whether officers have had knowledge
OF the violations of the anti-hazing
laws which went unpunished.
The bill submitted by Secretary
Eonaparte provides for the repeal OF
the section OF the present act, which
requires the superintendent of the
academy to call a courtmartial to in
vestigate all charges of hazing.. and
which makes summary dismissal the
punishment for all midshipmen found
guilty Of hazing

PLAN PROBE
FOR INSURANCE
Pennsylvania Legislature May Start
Searching Investigation.
g50,000 FEES PROMPTS THEM

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 27.-An insur-
ance investigation may be inaugural
ed by the Pennsy lvania legislature as
far reaching as the New York inyesti-
CATION \ resolution which is intend
ed to open the way for such an inves-
ti9ation will be offered by Mr.. Am
norman, Democrat, cf Montour coun-
ty, in the house of representatives
next Monday evening.
The proposed inquiry will provide
for thorough investigation. not only
Of the insurance department. but of
the whole department as well. The
admission made by Robert Z. Forster,
the actuary OF the department, that he
turned over last year to the former
insurance commissioner. Israel W.
Durham, S30.oG0 of the fees collected
by him. in addition to the legal fees
Of $4,000 Mr.. Durham received from
the office. has prompted the refOrmors
Of the house to go into as full n in
vestiGation as may be allowed by the
extra session.
MIR. Amm2rman's resolution for an
Investigation Of the department had
been drawn before Mr.. Forster made
his adhesion. and it is said that it
did not contemplate anything further
than an investigation of the actuary's
Office, and was similar in most part
to the resolution adopted by the SEN
ate. 1t is now the intention of the
reformers and Democrats of the house
to provide for as complete an investi-
CATION as can be made. Whether it
will be possible to include an investi
cation Of the insurance companies
themselves has not yet been deter
mined
81 don't know how far reaching the
resolution will be-" said Representa-
tive w. T. Greasy. of Columbia, but
! think it will provide for the appoint
ment Of a committee to make an in
vcstigation, with full power to sum-
mon witnesses
according to the ruling that has
bcen made here. however, they will
declare it out of order. But | don't
believe that the speaker will dare to
do SO in the face of what has been
developed, and | am satisfied that,
should he so declare he would not be
sustained By a majority of the house.
| There is a strong sentiment to open
up everything, and it would be dan
gerOus for any one to attempt to op-
pose an investigation of any kind that
might lead to the betterment of con-
| ditiOns."
The actuary of the insurance depart
ment receives his fees from a tax of
two cents on every $1,000 of insurance
| that is written in this state. Mr. For
| ster said that one-half cent on every
| $1,000 is a high enough tax.
Under the present systeri the sal
| ary of the insurance commissioner is
| only $4,000 year. His fees, however,
amount to $4,000 or s20,0 Acting
under the governors call for the ex-
| ira session, the house has already
passed finally a bill abolishing the
| fees of this office, and fixing the COM
| missiOner's salary at $4,000. The house
| has also passed for the first time a
! bill fixing the salary Of the actuary at
| $4,000. There is apparently no oppo-
sition in either body to these bills.
