TESTING INSURANCE LIMITS.
Agents Suit on New Policy Writing In
wolves q State Department Now.

ALBANY, Feb. I3.-Attorney- General
Edward r. OMalley is to defend the con
stitutionality of the new insurance laws
in the action brought by an agent OF the
New York Life Insurance Company to
test the provision limiting the amount
Of new business life insurance companies
may write each year.
Last December Charles H. Bush, one
Of the agents Of the New York Life and
a member Of the Association OF Agents
known as Nylc. commenced an action
against the New York Life to compel the
company to accept policy which he had
secured on the life Of Aaron W. Burnett
for t25. 900. which policy was declined
by the company on the ground that IN
the year 1908 II had reached the limit
for new insurance which II might write
under section 90 Of the new insurance law
Bush also asked that the insurance oom-
pany be restrained from cancelling his
membership in Nylio on the ground
that he had failed TO write tS0, 900 OF new
insurance in the year 1908. which would
be the case IL this policy were not included.
and also to pay him his commission on
the first premium on said policy OF
insurance.
1t Is oontended that the New York
Life Insurance Company by reason OF
the provisions Of section 90 OF the insur-
anoe law Is prohibited from doing an
insurance business in any one year TO
exceed $50 ,0OO, 900. The New York Life
declined 70 write the policy. on the ground
would exceed this limit Of new insurance
for the year 1908 The insurance company
fed demurrer through its attorneys
On the ground that tho complaint did not
state facts sufficient TO constitute cause
OF action. and the matter was brought on
for argument before MIR Justice O'Gor-
man on February 1.
The case involves the question Of the
constitutionality Of the. Armstrong in
surance law in so far as the Legislature
attempted to limit new insurance business
in any one year After the hearing Mr..
Justice O'Gorman DECIDED 70 hold the
matter and asked the Attorney General
to intervene. The matter In this way
was brought to the attention OF the Attor-
y-General for the first time.
The Attorney Gen eral said tonight:
This matter Of limiting the amount Of
new insurance that might be written
annually by insurance companies OF this
State was one Of the important matters
considered by Mr. Hughes and the Arm
strong committee at the time OF the in
surance inv estigation. i arm informed
that many of the leading actuaries and
insurance men in this country advised
that such a provision would be q wise
one TO adopt and to insert In the law.
-0ne Of the basic reasons for this seems
to have been that there was no benefit
to policyholders in further enlargement
Of the business after it had reached .
certain volume and that II would out Oh
the expense of trying to get an enormously
| increased business These various rea-
sons seem TO have appealed 70 the Lesis-
lature when they enacted section 90 Of the

WASHINGTON. Feb. l3.-Lieut. Col. G. W.
Goethals. chairman and chief engineer
OF the Isthmian Canal Commission.
reached Washington to-day accompanied
by the members Of the board OF engineers
who recently made an examination OF the
work on the canal at the request OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The engineers are COM
pleting their report in this city and proba-
bly, will be ready 20 submit IL to the Presi-
dent about the middle Of next week.
The members Of the board probably
will approve unanimously the selection
Of the lock type Of canal and also will
recommend change in the location OF
the breakwater at the Atlantic end OF
the canal. Col. Goethals will appear be-
fore the House Committee on Appropria-
tions on Monday to explain his estimates
for the next fiscal year Approximately
ss5. 200, 900 is asked to continue canal work
ne xt year.
He has figured out the exact cost Of a
lock and sea level canal along with many
other interesting details as to the cost OF
the work which he will submit to the
Appropriations Committee. He believes
that the sea level canal will not only cost
more but will take six years longer to
complete than the lock canal.
Il repeat what / said year ago. Col.
Goethals said, that the canal will be COM
peted and ships will be passing through
II on January /. 1915. Work on the canal
believe that the lock type Of canal Is
the best. Any danger Of damage to the
lock gates from the vessels passing
through will be completely obviated
because Of an electric device, which will
grasp the steamer entering the locks
both fore and aft and will hold II under
complete control so that 1t will only move
by the person operating the canal from
the lever"
Col. Goethals also will appear before
the Senate Committee on Interooeanio
Canals. He will return to the lsthmus
shortly after the inaugur alton

Hayes OF California Wants the Rules

WARRINGTON. Feb. I3.-An assault on

feeling OF Ill will against Speaker Cannon
or the other leaders OF the House. Mr..
Hayes insisted that there must be a
change in order that freedom Of action
and thought might be restored to the
individual-member.
Il am strong in the conviction said
Mr.. Hayes. that there must be change
in the rules unless the House OF Repre-
sentatives is permanently to degenerate
into machine for registering the will Of
the Speaker
AT the opening OF each Congress the
House is complete master OF itself for

has clothed us; put our legislative con-
sciences largely into the keeping Of the

Congressman Madden Makes somo Re.
marks About Them In the House.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ls.-Congressman
House on the subject Of railroad freight
rates. He attacked railroad overcapitali-
zation and turned his attention to the In
tsrstate Commerce Commission. The COM
mission. he said. had thus far accom-
plished little or nothing but what Is
entirely satisfactory 70 the railroads"
Tho railroad business, he went on TO
say, should yield more reasonable
return on the capital actually invested"
More reasonable return be defined as
meaning a smaller profit.
The rate law. he declared. shelters the
malefactors.' 1t provides no means for
determining what Is undue or unreason-
able discrimination against or advantage
to locality. OF between classes Of traffic.
No one acquainted with the situation was
surprised at the acquiescenoe in the rate
bill by railroad officers and attorneys.
t affords no relief against a deplorable
state Of affairs. A carrier might have in
force a schedule Of rates yielding divi-
dends on 500 ,OO0. 600 OF stock that rep
commission could AFFORD no relief.
The public have been so far schooled
in railroad sophistries that they accept
as truism the proposition that the stock
holders Of public service corporations
are entitled to exact from the public
certain fixed standard Of div idends A
com pulsory reduction OF a div idend rate
upon the stock OF an important railway
gives q shock to financiers and is regarded
as a public calamity. A thousand busl-
ness men may lose their margins Of profit
or even fail; all the farmers may lose their
years toll; a million laborers may ose
