BUCKLEY HAD A
VERY BAD DAY
HOTCHKISS KEPT UP MERcILESS
EXAMINATION REGARDING FIRE
INSURANCE LEGISLATION AT
ALBANY.
BY Associated Press.

New York, March 2S.-William H.
Buckley had most uncomfortable
time today before the fire insurance
inquiry. State Superintendent of In
surance Hotchkiss kept up merci-
less examination of Buckley's connec-
tion with legislation at Albany, for
which Buckley received many thous-
and dollars.
Aside from Buckley's testimony the
most interesting incident today was
the Identification by George F. Sew
ard, president of the Fidelity and
Casualty Company, of Edward A H.
Brown, as the man representing big
Tim" Sullivan in 1892, who asked for
ten thousand dollars for Sullivan to
have bill killed Brown denied he
had even seen Seward.
William B. Smith, general counsel
for the Travellers Insurance Company
of Hartford. testified that his company
paid S21, 400 to Buckley to put through
liability reserve bill. Much evi-
dence today were letters exchanged
between Buckley and the late Geo. p.
Sheldon, president of the Phoenix Fire
Insurance Company of Brooklyn, who
collected from various companies
money which he sent to Buckley. The
day was taken up chiefly with Buck
ley,s work in 1904 Buckley agreed
to do work that year for fifteen tfrous-
and dollars. Letters told of the
course of insurance legislation and
the triumph of Buckley. who had not
even permitted strike bills to be in

Berlin, March 25.-American tour
lists should not find fault with DR.. Da-
vid J. Hill, American ambassador, if
he seems a bit cross nowadays. DR..
Hill is face to face with situation
that some 40,000,000 folks dislike
facing every spring or fall in the
United States-viz: house hunting.
WASHINGTON officials declare the fact
that DR.. Hill has been forced to look
for a new home, due to the fact that
the American embassy has been sold
by the owners, is convincing proof
that the great United States should
house it's representatives in homes
that are not on the market for wreck
ers. DR.. Hill by calling into play all
his diplomatic ability convinced the
owners that he should have another
month before the house was torn
down, but in the meantime he is
trampting the streets of Berlin pulling
doorbells and asking if the owners
have a few rooms to rent for a law
abiding American citizen.

PROBABLY DUE TO A
PREMATURE DISCHARGE

Washington, March 2S.-Rear Ad-
miral Hubbard, in reporting to the
navy department, says the accident
was probably due to a premature dis
charge. THE cablegram. which was
very brief, stated that court of in
quiry would make a full investigation.
Admiral Mason, chief of ordnance,
is of the opinion that the accident re-
suited from bent or broken firing
pin. When the breech lock was
swung heavily to close the breech on
the cartridge which is of brass, the
projecting pin probably struck the
primer, Admiral Mason believes, and
exploded the charge before the block
was locked in place. The entire
charge, he thinks, flew out backward,
tearing of the block and hurting it
among the sailors who probably had
gathered ip the rear to watch the gun
practice. Such accidents are rare, but
are not without precedent.

who went on sympathetic strike did
not find employment when they report

workmen. These cases will cause
some friction but little trouble is ex-
