cusation against the young man who was

forded an opportunity to say a word.

dore Estes. stated today that DIR. Strother
said in his presence last night that his ex-
animation Of Miss Loving and his attention
to her were only that given in ordinary
practice and that he only prescribed medi-
cine for drunkenness. and that he had never
thought or had any suspicion that there
had been any assault, that he had never
been requested by Judge Loving or any
member of his family to make any state
On the drive Sunday afternoon, which
was concluded at o'clock, Miss Loving
had requested Estes to give her a drink,
as she was feeling bad. This he did,
and on her return she showed indications
of being under the influence Of whisky.
She was met at the buggy OF her return
by Miss Annie Kidd, who carried her to
her room and put her to bed.
Theodore Estes went at once for DR..
Strother. and stated to the physician that
Miss Loving was indisposed and "a little
booty"
DR.. Strother went to the home of Mr..
Kidd and found that Hiss Loving was I'M
der the influence of whisky; felt her pulse,
and prescribed for her. He made no other
examination and thought nothing else was
the matter.
Monday morning. the day of the killing
young Estes drove by Mr.. kidd's with the
intention of taking Miss Loving home. He
found that she was still indisposed and not
ready TO return to her home.

the brief statement which is the essential
point OF the reply In reference to Meyer

II they are guilty they should be pun

I'm conclusion I would state that by
arousing criticism and discussion in ref

really helped rather than hurt the cause
of Meyer Haywood and Pettibone.'

Mr.. George G. Seibold secretary of

reference to the Presidents statement. said:
THAT is a matter which appears to be
rather complex in its many phases. ap
proachab!e by many avenues. which would
lead to almost endless discussion If fol-
lowed to a f1nality.
The President, being a citizen Of the
United states. Is. of course entitled to his
own opinion of his fellows. the same as 1
am to mine. The wisdom of permit
opinions Of others. especially when they are
In the hands of court OF justice, on &C

NO sane man believes that those who are
guilty of crime should be immune from the
penalty OF such crime any more than he
believes that labor organiza tions counte-

do not. SO far as 1 can see, enter into the
discussion. AS outlined above, 1t Is mat

Il am not compelled to accept the Presi-

Wadsworth of the President.
LAS to the innocence or guilt Of the ac-
cused men, l prefer to have the opportunity
of reading the evidence presented in the
case before expressing myself. as evidence

NEW INSURANCE PLANS
LAW COMMITTEE MAKES SEW
ERAL SUGGESTIONS.

PHILADELPHIA. April 25.-The insur-
Association. which has been in session here
devising a system OF uniform laws for the
government of insurance business in this
country. has adopted series of recon-
.nendations which will be presented to the
association as embodying Its ideas of what
such laws should contain.
Following is list of the recommends
tons the elaboration of which will con-
stitute the report:
"First--The appointment of state insur-
ance commissioners for fitness and expert
qualification for the position, rather than
a reward for political services.
"Second-That all companies created out
side of the United States make deposits In
at least one state. The chief motive for
this recommendation was the action of Ger.
tain German companies after the San Fran
cisco fire which repudiated their policies.
''Third-The repeal of the retaliatory tax
laws.
''Fourth-The repeal of the valued policy
laws.
"Fffth-The creation in each state OF the
office of fire marshal. This exists at pres
ent in only about one-third of the states.
"Sixth-The enactment of federal stat
ute prohibiting the use of the mails by
wildcat insurance companies and by any
company not authorized by the law of the
state of it's origin.
''Seventh-The apportionment and contin-
gent distribution Of deferred dividend sur
plus on policies now in force, as prece-
dent to the right to do business outside OIL
the state in which the company is created.
