Carson City, Nevada, March 1.-THE banking bill known as
Senate Bill No. 125 was reported without recommendation this
afternoon shortly after the opening of the afternoon session Of the
Senate. John Henderson of Eko appeared before the Committee
of the Whole and spoke against the bill, asking that the Legislature
give the bankers two years to frame up a bill Mr.. Harris also
appeared and spoke against it. He stated that all State banks will
be driven out of business if the bill goes through, and called upon
the Legislature to enact stringent protection laws for depositors
and make all laws similar to the National Bank laws. Banker
Turrittn of Reno appeared and spoke against the guarantee clause.
Senator Hunter at this time moved the Committee of the Whole
report without recommendation. Hunters motion was carried and
the bill was put ON its first reading at 240.

the Senate this afternoon and promises to cause a fight. This bill

DEBATE ON PROHIBITION.
MAYOR ROSE CT MILWAUKEE
DEFENDS SALE OF LIQUOR.
President of Albion College and Muni.
cipal Official Oppose Each Other in
Discussion mt Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, March 26.-The first of
series of remarkable debates was
held tonight on the question, "Re-
solved. That prohibition, as applied to
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing beverages is right" Mayor David
5. Rose of Milwaukee took the mega
tive, and DR.. Samuel Dlckie, president
of Albion college, Albion Mich, spoke
for the prohibitionists. The hippo
drome, with a seating capacity of c.
600, was jammed to the doors, and
throngs were turned away
There was no decision rendered on
the debate
DR.. Dickie said in part:
THE prohibition OF the liquor traf-
hc is right, if considered only from
the economic standpoint The saloon
is the foe of capital, but preeminently
the enemy Of labor.
THE liquor business breeds crimi-
nails. The testimony Of prison chap
lains. Of wardens, sheriffs and judges
of the criminal courts warrants thu
assertion that from so to 80 per cent.
of crime is directly or indirectly
traceable to the use of intoxicating
liquors."
In arguing that prohibition is
wrong, Mayor Rose treated the sub
ject from three standpoints, the Bib
lical the ethical and the material. He
showed that while the evil existed
when then Ten Commandments were
written, no attempt was made to en-
force prohibition in the decalogue and
he challenged any one to find one
word in the Bible advocating the
theories of prohibitionists.
He took the census figures of the
government and records OF cities and
States to prove that prohibition did
not decrease crime. insanity. death,

sas and Georgia. He showed that
more drunkenness existed i'm Maine
than in Wisconsin.
Much was said about thousands er
drunkards dying every year, he said.
put he quoted census figures to show
that more persons died of whooping,
cough and measles than of alcoholism,
The mayor showed that the bank
deposits of dry States were smaller
than the liquor States and said that
prohibition had been a failure where
ever tried, because it was impossible
to correct the ills and weaknesses of
human nature by laws In the South
the theory had failed and liquor was
to be had there not only by whites.
but by blacks, and a marked increase
in the drug habit was noticeable.

ter, nor did I desire to alarm the
minds Of the policyholders unduly,
which would have been done IL posi-
tive action had been taken during the
time of uneasiness caused by revela-
tions Of the dealing with the Seminole
Securities Company and the legal pro-
ceedings incident thereto. But l do
feel that 1t is duty this department
owes to the public to make declara-
ton on the subject.
II make no criticism of the several
general officers. the executive COM
mittee or the board of directors of the
company, who were in ignorance Of
the dealings between Mr.. c. j. Coop
er, treasurer and general manager of
the company, and Mr.. c. j. Hebert,
appointed by him as sales agent Of
the stock of the company, and Mr.. B.
w. Lacy vice president and actuary
of the company, with the officers Of
the Seminole Securities Company
these four parties being apparently
privy to the transactions of each 9TH
er and more or less concerned there
In. Indeed. there is no conclusive evil
dence of the fact that the other officers
OF the company had any means Of
knowing Of the dealings Of c. j. Coop
er and b. w. Lacy. Jr., with the other
parties named. The evidence goes to
prove that the executive committee
and dirtcors of the Southern Life
Insurance Company were intention
ally kept in ignorance of the pur-
pose and extent of the dealings of c.
j. Cooper and b. w. Lacy with c. j.
Hebert and the officers OF the Semi
mole Securities Company.
without going into the details of
the matter other than to say that the
offering to make. by c. j. Cooper

Insurance Company. a contract with
G. j. Hebert for the sale of stock in
the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany, before same wa, authorized by
the stockholders OF the Southern Life
Insurance Company. and of making
of this contract with c. j. Hebert and
not reporting the same to the execu-
tive committee and directors OF the
company, the dealings betweeen

was purchased by the Seminole Sc
curities Company OF this city, the
price paid for the stock being in ex-
cess OF Its par value and alleged to be
far In excess Of It's market value. The
transactions OF the sale were conduct
ed through General Manager c. j..
Cooper of the insurance company and
b. w. Lacy. the actuary, and c. j.
Hebert, one OF the principal stock
promoters Of the Seminole Securities
Company. 1t was charged that enor-
nous commissions were paid in the
transfer.
When these matters came out In the
proceedings brought against the Sem
mole Securities Company. Mr.. Mems as
ter ordered the insurance company to
show cause why its license should not
be revoked. Two or three hearings
were held. Mr.. McMaster states In
his letter that he has no desire to
alarm the policyholders. but the evil
dence shows that enormous commits
sions were paid those directly inter-
ested In the deal. the other officers
and directors OF the Southern Life
Company being in ignorance Of the
details. The deal he says "is per-
meated with evidences OF stock job
bing and high finance" and both
Lacy and Cooper are condemned as
men unworthy of the management Of
such a concern.
The letter to the insurance COM
pany Is as follows:

Messrs. Cooper and Lacy on the one
side and Hebert and the Seminole Sc
curities Company on the other,
whereby enormous commissions were
to be paid and stock to be sold to the
public at enormous prices, indicate
an utter disregard of the principles Of
fair dealing and were so far permeat-
ed with the essentials of stock jobbing
and d!sreputable high finance as to
utterly condemn c. j. Cooper and B.

intrusted with the management of an
institution of such sacred and conser-
vative a nature as a life insurance
company.
This department is Of the opinion
that an institution in the hands of
two such men is unsafe and unreli-
able. Therefore, the license of the

do business in this State is hereby re-
voked.
