ton lawyer of New York, is a native
of Philadelphia, and to Philadelphia
he often returns to see his old
friends.

those who walk to get dinner for
their appetite"

MS VOTE and the adoption Of sweeping
changes and far-reaching reforms in
the fire insurance laws of the state
are recommended in a lengthy report
mittee, submitted to the legislature.
The Proposed Reforms.
Drafts of bills which the committee
proposes shall be enacted into law are
included in the report. The proposed
reforms include:
Placing of rate-making associations,
as organizations, including the New
York fire insurance exchange, under
control of the superintendent of insur
ance.
Investing the superintendent with
ample power to prevent discrimina-
ton in rates Transfer of the power
to license brokers from the New York
fire insurance exchange and similar
organizations to the state superintend-
ent of insurance.
Enactment of an anti-rebate law,
prohibiting the sharing Or splitting

meanor to give or accept rebates.
Creation of a new Office, to be
known as state fire marshal, to be
empowered with sweeping authority
for inspection of property and in
vestigation of fires.
Corrupt Practices Probed.
The investigation committee was
appointed by the senate and assembly
of 1910 to investigate corrupt practices
and insurance other than life insur-
ance. 1t consisted of members of
both bodies. The committee eX-
amined 1874 witnesses in AZ days.
In probing corrupt practices in con-
nection with legislation the commit
tee, according to the report, investl-
gated alleged bribe-giving brought to
the surface in Investigations conduct
ed in 1910 by the senate and the state
tain other unyerifed allegations.
These allegations, the report with the
payment by the state Of beet sugar
bounty, the passage of the anti-race
track gambling law and Of amend
ments to the agricultural law with re-
ference to milk.
The committee found abundant evil
dence of graft Concerning bribery,
the report says:
"The crime of bribery is one of the
most difficult of all crimes to uncover
All the resources of ingenuity are
used to conceal it, and only in exceed
ingly rare instances are either of the
parties to the crime willing to come
forward and disclose the facts
BY making the bill which it recon-
mends a law the committee believes
that the giving and taking of brides
would be greatly reduced.

THE ENGLISH NAVY.
Fighting Ships Used to Be Hired Out
In Times Of Peace.

Fighting Ships Used to Be Hired Out
In Times Of Peace.
In the earliest times Of the British
navy there was practically no distinc
ton between the merchantmen and
the man -of-war. In the rare times Of
peace men-ofwar traded as merchant
men, while merchantmen always went
armed. Thus in time Of war the
trader became the warship. and vice
versa. From the time OF the conquest
and probably earlier down to the days
Of Elizabeth this was the ordinary
practice. Elizabeth hired out ships Of
the navy for all sorts Of purposes.
from piracy to slave trading. taking
her share Of the profits when the VEN
ture was successful and disclaimins
all responsibility when 1t wasn't.
Henry Ill.,. who may be described as
the originator Of the navy as special
fighting force. hired out the ships spc-
cially built for the navy in times OF
peace and even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta
tons provided that the hirers depos
tied due security for the return Of the
ships with their tackle and all equip
ment in a proper state of efficiency
The practice ceased after the repulse
Of the Spanish armada. when the fight
ing ships. as such. became distinct
from the trader.-London Globe.
