WILL CONTINUE
TO SEND GOLD

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE Associated
Press was informed today by an au-
thority competent 10 speak in the
premises that the Bank of France,
expressing the desire of France fur
Their to assist the United States
financially, would continue indefi-
nitely to remit god to the United
States by discounting American
shipments by sending coin to Eng
land through the purchase of time
sterling bills. This aid will be rem
dered so long as possible, but always
with the understanding that the
Bank of France VIII first meet the
gold requirements of French bank
ing institutions.

Places Blame on Haywood

los ANGELES, Dec. TN. ].
Monnett, president of the Los An
geles Mining Exchange and one of
the big operators Of Goldfield, in an
interview laid the whole blame for
the present situation in Goldfeld
upon William D. Haywood. Mr..
Monnett is quoted as follows:
Cali of the present trouble at
Goldf1eld is due to the activity of
William d. Haywood, secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners. It was due solely to his
influence that the miners union
there refused to accept checks on
the Goldf1eld banks in part pay
ment Of their wages some time ago,
and at a meeting of the miners he
urged them to refuse these checks.
l am satisfied that rs per cent of
the members of tho union were not
with him in this move, but they
scanned to be so thoroughly under
the control of a few leaders that
they have been afraid to take indie
pendent action. Many OF these men
are anxious to return to work and
in my opinion there will either be a
split in the union at Go1deld, or t. :
open-shop rule will prevail in all OF
the large mines there. The Mine
Owners association is determined II
will no longer submit to the arbi-
trary dictation of few union agi-
tators."

KANSAS CITY, Dec. MANY de-
positors of the National Bank of
Commerce are treasured by the dec
larations of officials of that institu-

The failure of the National Bank

president of the bank. Many de-
positors OF the National Bank of
Commerce have opened accounts In
the trust company as we'll as with
other local banks.

the Commerce Trust Co., said they
had already received close to $780,

HOURS OF TRAINMEN.
Senate Bill Sent to Conference by tho
House.

oOu6S.
By vote of 40 to 1s9 the House weston
day afternoon under suspension of the
rules refused to adopt the substitute
of the interstate and foreign commerce
committee to the so-cal!ed La Fol-
lette sixteen-hour bill'' to promote the safe
ty of employees and travellers upon rail-
roads BY limiting the hours of service of en-
ployes. The amended bill was sent to con-
ference, two-thirds vote being required
Mr.. Esch Of Wisconsin explained the par
liamentary situation and the differences be-
tween the Senate bill and the one reported
from the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. He said the necessity for
the legislation was extremely pressing In
view Of the ever-increasing number of rail-
road accidents with attendant loss of life
and property.
Mr.. Adamson of Georgia wanted the
House to adopt the La Toilette bill. believ-
ing that 1t accomplished more than the sub
stitute recommended by the committee
Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and Richard
son of Alabama were also In the opposition
Mr.. Richardson saying that the bill of the
majority not only did not relieve the situa-
ton complained Of but legalized the work
ing of railroad employees more than sixteen
hours. He declared that the bill was
travesty.
Mr.. Stevens of Minnesota insisted that the
substitute to the La Toilette bill was inf
nitely better in every way, as it applied to
classes of employees on railroads wholly
omitted by the Senate bill. He also con-
tended that the rest" provision OF the
House bill was definite whereas the Senate
provision was indefinite.
The following republicans voted with the
democrats against the substitute: Messrs
Chapman. Rodenberg and Sterling of Illi-
nois. DriseoH of New York French OF
Idaho. Jenkins, Nelson. Otgen and Stafford
of Wisconsin, Mudd and Pearre Of Mary
land, and woodward Of West Virginia.

FOR CARRYING THE MAILS.
The House to Vote on Proposition tt
Reduce Rate Of Pay.

The House yesterday afternoon decided,
by unanimous vote that an opportunity
should be afforded at this session for
vote ON the proposition to reduce the rate
Of pay to the railroads for carrying the
United States mails
Mr.. Overstreet. chairman of the commit
tee on post Offices and post roads, moved to
suspend the rules and pass resolution
making in order, as an amendment to the
post office appropriation bill, the recon-
mendations of the postal commission in re-
spect to the matter. He said that unless
ducing rates for the transportation of mail
would be accomplished at this session of
Congress- for the reason that provisions to
change the law governing payments for the
service in an appropriation bill, were sub
ject to a point of order.
Supporting the resolution. Mr.: Murdoch
of Kansas whose speech on the subject
led to the agitation for reduction, ex-
pressed his regret that Mr.. Overstreet had
not included in his resolution the provf-
sions of the appropriation bill. rather than
the proposals of the commission. These.
he said would effect the same rate of re-
duction on a road carrying a small amount
of mail as would be made on the, great
mail-carrying routes.
The commissions report also omitted, he
said the change of the divisor in arriving
at the amount of daily mail to be paid for,
from g to Z, which Postmaster General Cor
telyou had stated would save the govern
ment about 100000 a year. But as the
proposed amendment would cause a saving
not being able to secure modification.
Mr. Murdoch said no. one could afford to
vote against the Overstreet resolution.
No one did, and 1t was adopted.

FILING OF TARIFFS.
Continuation Of Interstate Commerce
Commission Hearing.

The interstate commerce commission to-
day continued the hearing of the railroad
officials on the preparation and filing OF
tariffs. There was large attendance. The
rules issued by the commission under the
new rate law were taken up paragraph by
paragraph. and were discussed, and the
changes that the officials desired were
noted for suture consideration. One of the
chief complaints was that compliance with
the rules would involve the roads in great
expense In printing changes in the tariffs.
in some cases amounting to as much as
100000 per year. In other cases the eX-
pense of changing the printing of single
commodity rate would it was said. involve
more money than the whole of the gross
income of road from the commodity in
the course of a year.

lation to assessment insurance. was passed
by the House yesterday afternoon by
vote of 1l6 to 80. Chairman Babcock OF
the House District committee. who intro
duced the original bill of which the Parker
measure was substituted. Urged it's enact
ment-
Mr.. Babcock said the existing law made
it possible to swind!e POOR people who in
vested in assessment Insurance.: and so
much complaint has been made to the
President that he felt it to be his duty to
call the attention of Congress distinctly to
the evil and ask for prompt legislation.
Some of the assessment companies now do
ing business in the District. he said, were
paying JJ per cent of premiums to stock
holders through torfeitures of policies.
Mr.. Ames Opposed. e.
Mr.. Ames of Massachusetts, opposed the
bill and asked Mr.. Bahcock if it was true
that in response to the Cresdent's wishes
a very different bill had been framed. which
had received the approval of the District
Commissioners.
This MIR. Babcock. in part admitted was
the fact. but he claimed that the pending
bill has been passed on by the judiciary
committee and was Il thoroughly wise and
beneficent measure The changes in the
original bill had been made by the judiciary
committee and were regarded as giving
strength to the measure.
>Provisions of Bill.
The bill provides that assessment life
companies must have $4,000 assets to issue
policies up to $1,000. and 100000 invested
assets If they issue larger policies. and that
these assets shall always be at least per
cent of the total risks of the company.
In case of District companies the securi-
ties will be deposcited with the register
of the Supreme Court. In the case of for
eign companies the superintendent of in
surance must be satisfied that the securities
are properly maintained.
The small sick-benefit companies are re-
quired to have guaranty fund of at least
$4,000. and that it be at least per cent of
their outstanding life risks.
The expenses of such companies, -includ-
ing dividends, are not to exceed 80 per cent
of the premiums received in any year, so
that at least the balance of premiums and
all forfeitures shall be paid in losses or
dividends or placed in reserve for the bene-
fit of the policy holders.
When risks on lives over fOrty-five years
of age exceed in number those on lives
under that age the excess In the oldest lives
must be secured by full legal life insur-
ance reserve equal to a single premium for
life insurance of such excess of risks.
The act does not affect fraternal bene-
fetal associations. nor associations of o :
GERS and enlisted men, civil service en-
ployes. or the employees of a single firm.
