CLEVELAND OPPOSES
STATE LEGISLATION
Designed to Force Insurance CompanI
les to Purchase Securities Where
Premiums Come From.

New York. March 5.-The announce
mcnt was made today that Grover
Cleveland has submitted q brief tJ the
association Of life insurance presidents
of which he Is the head, in reference
To certain threatened legislation which
would force them to invest their funds
i'm the various states. in proportion to
the volume of business transacted in
these states.
The brief says that in many states
contemplating such legislation there Is
a normal. healthy demand for nearly
all the securities contemplated in the
pending bills which are SO absolute
ly safe and unquestioned as TO excuse
life insurance companies for accepting
them as securities for trust funds Yet
they are forced TO purchase in such a
market and must under severe penal
ties. invest in such securities as remain
after investors on the ground have
made a choice. or pay for those more
desirable manipulated in advance, as
invited BY legally created necessities
Mr.. Cleveland questions that this leg
( islatiOn is framed in the interest Of
/ policy-holders 1t cannot be made "a
appear" he says that it would i'm any
way increase the security Of the pol
iCies. while on the other hand il is
plain that in cases Of such impairment
I of securities as would reach the poin'
Of financial inability on the part OF
companies, their pOlicy-holders Of al
fmen in the world would be the mad
! dest and most pitiable and helpless vic.
/ tins. How the poiicy-holders can b'

I'm A CLASH
| WITH COURT
District Attorney Jerome S
Biting Sarcasm
1t Was His SuppOsitiOn
That the Judge Knew
Elementary Law.

New York. March 5.--Interest in to-
days session Of the trial Of Thaw was
dulled by the continued cross examina-
ton Of DR.. Chas. G. Wagner. who was
on the stand all day. When adjourn
ment was announced the district at
torney seemed to have much ground
Yet to cover. The elder MIS-. Thaw
may not be reached before Thursday
morning.
The session was made notable by a
clash between jerome and Justice
Fitzgerald at the climax Of which the
prosecuting attorney refused point
blank TO cite to the court the author
tiles upon which was predicdting an
argument. Jerome was requested by
the judge to submit to him whatever
authorities he had upon the subject.
Il have such "a high respect for the
courts of this jurisdiction" retorted Je-
rome, that l will not submit author
tiles on a question Of law which are so
elemental and upon which the author
tiles are So abundant that l must pre-
sumo the learned court knows Of
them"
With a flushed face and a sharp rap
Of the gavel Judge Fitzgerald said that
if the district attorney did not submit
the authorities the court would assume
that he did not know OF any. Jerome
did not submit authorities and Judge
Fitzgerald ruled in favor Of the de-
fense on the point which was a ques-
tion as to whether the state on cross
examination should be allowed 10 e
further with an expert witness than
to go on direct examination.
Jerome was as defiant in his tone as
in the words uttered. and il was plainly
with much effort that Judge FitZger-
aid retained his judicial composure.
Delmas was proceeding at some
length to state the position Of the Dc.
fense when Jerome Interrupted hin
with the remark that the argument die
not call for "a stump speech Mr.
| Delmas protested against this often
sive" language by the district attorney
Judge Fitzgerald interp Ised in the dis
cussiOn.
During the argument the district at
torney placed himself on record D,
saying that the legal assumption bcfor
I the court today is that Thaw is insane
/ Judge Fitzgerald declared the preseu
] jury only had to deal with the ques
/ ton Of Thaw's sanity or insanity OF
/ the night he killed White.

Washington Monuments Cap.

The first practical use ever made OF
aluminium was in fitting cap ON the
peak Of the Washington monument IL
1884. Although aluminium was discov
cred in 1927 by Professor Wohler OF
Gottingen university, Germany, at thai
time 1t was practically an unknown
metal, the cost and difficulty Of its pro
duction having prevented its develop
ment until the general use Of electric
ity made II easy and economical. The
cap on the top Of the monument is a
square pyramid in shape, weighing 10C
ounces, and is SO inches In height and
sc inches In width at the base. Gen
eral George w. Davis was In immedi.
ate charge of the completion of the
monument under General Casey and
has the distinction of being the first
man to handle aluminium in prac-
teal way. Until that time it had been
used only for toys, for freak pur-
poses. and small samples had been
utilized In making models for the pat
ent office. Boston Globe.
