Headquarters yesterday and told them
how badly he had been treated all the way

street building in a big automobile and
vent to the Detective Bureau. where he
handed over his badge Of ONCE. and then
as a private citizen he said a few things.

hour and a half after the appointed time,
and while waited | was told that il / moved

Two Central Once men accompanied Mr..

and told him ! was nc liar, whereupon he
took of his coat and made a pass at me.
Then he called me a lot OF names that your
papers couldn't print. The two detectives
who were present at the time were ordered
to deny at my trial that he had called me
those names and were also instructed TO
say that he made nc attempt TO strike me.
After had been quizzed for severalh hours

about what transpired at the Yale Club,

good offers and that he now intends to open
a private detective agency.

INSURANCE BILL A SLAP?
Fancher Measure. TO which Hughes Is OPP
posed, Passed by Both Houses.

ALBANY, June 25.-The Assembly to-day
Joined with the Senate in passing, contrary
TO the wishes and views OF Gov. Hughes,
the Fancher bill amending the insurance
laws. This bill permits agents and other
employees OF life insurance companies to
canvass for votes after Office hours.
The Governor made known 10 the lnsur-
ance committees OF the two houses that he
wanted the law 80 changed that the agents
could take no part in elections. saying that
he thought that the elections in the mutual
life insurance companies should be matters
for the policyholders TO settle. without any
interference from the agentso or other officers.
The bill was so drawn when introduced, and
the Assembly passed a bill providing that
only policyholders should take part in
elections.
1h e Senate, however, amended Senator
Fancher's bill so that it would permit agents
and EMPLOYEES 10 work for the administra-
ton ticket after Office hours. To-day,
when the Fancher bill as amended was
taken up in the Assembly, an effort was
made 70 nave the bill amended so that it
would be similar to the bill passed origin
ally by the Assembly. This was defeated
and the bin was passed as amended by the
Senate.
Il isn't likely the Governor will sign the
bill.
The fact that A~ssemblyman Rogers had
responsible for the Assembly reversing
itself The Broome Assemblyman has
made himself so unpopular that legislation
bearing his name or which he has in charge
receives scant courtesy His blocking Of
All legislation last week was resented.

The AUTOMODILISFS
FOUR LOCAL ENTRIES so FAR IN

Predictions regarding the probable humble
OF entries in this years annual tour OF the
American Automobile Association. which
starts from Cleveland Oh July 10, vary from
fifty to $50, with the chairman Of the tour
ing board quoted as expecting 100 cars 10
be entered. So far as local automobilists
are concerned there does not appear TO be
as much interest in this years tour as was
displayed in the 1905 affair, though this may
be due to a certain extent TO the fact that
the tour headquarters are located in Buffalo.
while last year they we're in this city. When
the latest list of entries was published there
was but o single entry from the
Club Of America, Orrel A.. Parker having
entered his As horsepower Royal, though
the younger organization, the New YORK
Motor Club. was represented nv three entries.
Pierce; A. l.. Kull, ?4-26 horsepower Dragon.
and A. b. Tucker, 1920 horsepower Dragon.
though the latter entry is named as a nom
competing oar. Though the touring board
chairman doubtless has good reason Tor
predicting that the entry list will reach 100
cars, there had been but twenty-six signed
blanks received when he issued his latest
list Of entries on June 5. W. j. Morgan OF

after senator Beveridges speech Senator Gallinger
will make effort to get up his Washington street

In addition to these questions the Senate will

bate on the Congo question It will take place be-
hind closed doors. Senator Burrows has given re-
newed assurance OF his intention Of asking that

by the combined Illinois and Missouri delegations
to secure the incorporation OF the provision for
