NEW YORK STATE
 FIRE INSURANCE INQUIRY
Foreign Companies Paid Handsomely to Have the Grady Insurance Bill Passed at Albany in 1904.

New York, March 21.-Out of the mass of promising generalities which has characterized the fire insurance in- quiry started in New York OH Friday last, there cropped up today testimony that thre foreign reinsurance com panies paid handsomely to have the SOL called Grady reinsurance bill pass ed by the legislature at Albany in 1904. The bill was passed and is still Q law, notwithstanding that it was opposed by domestic companies who subscribed $10,000 for the purpose and placed 1t in the hands of the late George P. Sheldon, one-tfme president of the Phenix Fire Insurance company Of Brooklyn
 These incidents were described on the stand by E. H. A. Correa, vice president of the Home Fire Insurance company, in whose opinion the bill in question was bought through" the leg islature by the foreign companies Just how the fund raised to combat the measure was spent was not made clear except that MT. Sheldon used it ill en- ploying counsel for travelling expenses and for "entertainments in going to Albany
 But New York state capital was not the only point of interest to the na- tional board of fire underwriters. ac- cording to the testimony of the day. There were intimatfons Cf an organiz- ed system of influencing legislation throughout the country. It was shown that in the years to which the inquiry had been confined to date-1901 to 1906 large sums were spent, for the most part nominally as 'fcounsel fees" to put through or to suppress bills in many states, according as they affected the interest of the companies. No state capitals were specified, however.
 It was even suggested that the work of the insurance men extended to con- gress. William H. Hotchkiss. state superintendent of insurance, touched on this point during the examination of Correa. He introduced in evidence a bill for s10,000 submitted and all lowed by the national board of fire un- derwriters, of which Correa was a members This bill was presented by Emmet Rhodes, flor services rendered in connection with the repeal of the stamp tax act'' The bill was dated July Is, 1903, but it was not shown in what capacity Emmet Rhodes acted.
 The law in question was one passed by congress at the time of the Span jsh- American war, requiring tax, among other things. upon fire insur- ance policies

A real surprise awaits every suf- ferer from kidney or bladder trouble who takes several doses of Pape's Diuretic. Misery in the back, sides or loins, sick headache, nervousness, rheumatism pains, heart paIpitations, dizziness, s1eeplessness, infamed or swollen eyelids, lack of energy and all symptoms of out-of- order kidneys simply vanish.
 Uncomfortable urination (especially at nigf1t), sn1arting, offensive and dis co1ored water and other bladder mis- cry ends.
 The moment you suspect kidney or urinary disorder, or feel any rheu- matism, begin taking this harmless medicine, with the knowledge that there is no other remedy, at any price, made anywhere else in the world.

A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS.

"A New York business man was fined

Interrupted a lawyer in the cross-ex-
animation Of a witness BY saying

this some time"

ing to the bench. To permit jurors to
direct the examination OF Witnesses,
or 10 limit the range Of questions tJr
the purpose Of bringing out the truth.
ihe whole truth and nothing but the
truth would mean that courts would
be lacking in that discipline that gives
proper dignity to the judicial branch
Of government
But for all that, the New York juror
expressed a sentiment that every one
who has had experience in the jury
box has been inclined to express but
ior the restraint OF respect for the
court he gave voice to the precise
objection that business men have to
jury service.
Doubtless the attorneys In the case
were shocked to hear such a revoIu-
ilonary utterance against a "time-hon.
ored practice in American jurispru-
dence. But if tse lawyers could only
realize it they would know that in
practically every jury box in the land
the demand made By the New York
juror Is in mind even II it does not
find expression The lawyers ought
To know it They ought TO know, also,
from such examples as that Afforded
By the New York incident that the eff
feet Of the long, tedious and useless
crossexamination OF Witnesses is to
disgust the jurors without adding
single advantage for their client That
is what lawyers ought TO know, but
few Of them appear to have grasped
that idea OF their profession.
So, while public opinion will uphold
the New York court for maintaining
its dignity. it win nevertheless regard
the New York juror as the voice in the
wilderness in righteous protest against
a foolish and absurd practice that is
the bane OF the American jury system.
