rs COMPANIES HEARD FROM
Alleged 10 Have Charged Insurance
Companies More Than the
Law Required.

Olympia. Wash, June S.-Accord-
Ing to George Lee, assistant attorney
general. who has been working with
the investigating committee, what
j. II. Schively, state insurance COM
missioner. referred to as his slid
ing scale of fees charged newly or
ganized companies. will be the prin-
cipal fact against him In the i'm
peachment proceedings at the spe-
cial session Of the legislature.
The system alleged to be in vogue
In the state insurance commission
er's Office was to charge insurance
companies as much as they would
stand for. A fee of $35 Is required
by the state from companies seeking
admission to do business. but It is
alleged that Schively charged any
where from $S5 to 1895, the latter
rate having been wrung from a COM
pany at least once. or this he would
turn over to the state but the legal
fee. the rest being diverted to his
own purse.
II is stated the committee has
heard from rs out of about 500 in
surance companies with whom
Schively conducted business. and
from these they found that he had
collected $4,000 in extortionate fees.
Some would not pay all he asked.
and from these he took what he
could get. Correspondence. can
celled checks and other evidence
will be turned over to Gov. Hay by
the investigating committee as proof
of Schively's extortion.

ALDRICH TO KILL
INCOME TAX BILL
AUTOCRAT Is READY FOR ANY
MEANS TO WIN.
MAY RETIRE FROM SENATE
Tell Protected Interests Income Tax
Would Require slashing Of
Duties.

Washington - Although Senator
Aldrich has indicated the tactics he
intends to pursue to kill the income
tax amendment to the tariff bill in
the senate. and although he has
demonstrated his ability to get votes
enough TO accomplish his purpose,
those senator's who sincerely believe
In income tax legislation and who
have had the courage to stand by
their convictions still hope against
hope that at the critical time they
will muster enough strength to Sc
cure the adoption of their pet Meas
ure.
The income tax amendment, in the
judgment of experienced men, is
dead. To defeat this one amend
ment Aldrich would go to any
length. His reputation Is really at
stake, II the income tax amend
ment should be adopted by the sen,
ate. II would be accepted by the
house and would become the law Of
the land. Aldrich has decreed that
this amendment shall not be adopt
ed by the senate. He expects soon
to retire from the senate and he
wants to retire with victory. not de-
feat written across his standard.
Aldrich and those who stand with
him insist that the new tariff bill
will produce ample revenue; II It
does not. 1t will be ample time to
take up the income tax next session.
Moreover. they contend that II the
income tax were adopted some of the
protected schedules of the tariff bill
would have to be cut beyond the
protective figure. else there would be
too much revenue.
On account of the progress made
last week, senate leaders are predict
ing that the tariff bill will be voted
upon in the senate by June 10. and
congress will be ready to adjourn
before July 4.

Mr.. Hitchcock had been i'll for some

while in the west and his condition

He suffered from complication of
kidney. heart and pulmonary diseases.
His condition has been steadily
growing worse during the last two
days, and last night all hopes for his

Atlanta, Ca, April 9.-The home of
United States Circuit Judge w. B..
Sheppard was dismantled today to sat-
isfy a Judgment obtained by a negro
who was run down by the judges au-
tomobile. A special meeting of the
Atlanta Bar association has been
called to consider means of disciplin-
ing the negro's lawyer and forcing
reparation. There is great excitement
here over the affair, which members
of the bar association characterize as
an outrage.
Judge Sheppard had agreed to pay
the negro's medical bill and give him
$50 The negro's attorney rejected
this proposition, however, and swore
out a writ of attachment. One of the
attorneys, accompanied by a consta-
BILE and a force of negroes, went to
the judges home and found Mrs,
Sheppard alone with her children, one
of them a babe of six months old.
They seized everything in sight and
carted it away, took all the furni-
ture, except the beds, the clothing of
the family, the trunks and even the
children's toys.
All the time, Mrs Sheppard says,
she was pleading with the men to
wait until her husband returned, but
they refused and she says they were
rough and insolent.
Judge Sheppard has bitterly de-
nounced the treatment as not only
outrageous, but as an attack upon the
dignity of the United States court.

two branches of the Porto Rico legis-

present instance, the appropriations
shall continue as in the bill last

news of the death of your husband
has just come. Mrs. Taft and I ex-
tend to you and your family our sin

Your husbands record for honest and
high sense of official duty has been
deeply impressed upon the country by
his efficient conduct of the interior

representation of this country abroad
The gratitude of his fellow citizens
and the high respect for his memory
may, in time, I hope, mitigate the
intensity of your present sorrow
