viii Likely Be No Coalition
Next Session
THE TARIFF BOARD REPORT
Will Determine the Final
Attitude of the Democrats
and Regulars. The Form
er Would Use Law For
Campaign Purposes.

Washington. d. c., Aug 23-The
democrats. progressive republicans ami
regulars will each have their own pro-
gram for tariff revision when con-
gress convenes in December. This was
made clear today. All three elements
of the senate will be engaged IN a
great battle on the general subject Cf
revision. The trend of the fight will
depend largely upon the report of the
tariff board and the recommendations
of the president in connection with
that report.
The regular republicans do not ex-
pect much tariff revising at the COM
ing session because of the wide di-
vergence of opinion in the senate.
They predict failure as the sure out
come of an attempt to bring together
the progressives and the regulars.
or the former and the democrats.
Neither the .progressives nor the
democrats are willing to predict a re-
newal of the alliance formed in the
extra session. Mr. Martin, the demo-
cratic senate leader, said that if the
presidents recommendations were for
larger reductions, and the standpat
republicans failed to support his
recommendations. then the chances Of
the coalition of progressives and dem
Ocrats would be much brighter The
regulars express a fear that the tariff
boards recommendations will be far
too radical for ther acceptance. They
contend that most Of the measures
resulting from the alliance of the
democrats and progressives are likely
to fail in conference on the ground
that the democrats desire to fight the
next national campaign on the Payne
Aldrich bill. The regulars also depend
upon a presidential veto to put a qui-
etus on any measures adopted through
an alliance of democrats and progress
sives.

Methods Of Many Accident
Insurance Companies
is ADVISED
Report in Strong Language
of Special Committee Ap-
pointed by Association Of
State Ins. Commissioners
of the United States.

Milwaukee, August 23.-Important
legislation for the control of insurance
companies doing industrial, accident
and health business is proposed in the
report of a special committee Of state
insurance commissioners of the United
States made public today. The basis
for the legislation proposed is given
in reports on the examination Of
fourteen companies. in which nearly
two thousand settlements effected by
these companies are discussed and
criticised. The report says: "Of spe-
cific claims examined, where the
amount involved is considerable, the
percentage of scaled or rejected claims
is high, very high, too high TO be
explained as an error of judgment
or careIessness. The committee feels
warranted in concluding thac when
dealing with companies doing indus
trial accident or health business, the
policy holding public has too fire.
Guently been the victim of uncon-
scionable practices in the claim de-
partments of these companies classi-
fled in this report. Promises of re-
formation are not enough. This con-
viction should take action to guaran-
tee lust treatment of policy-holders IN
the future.
The companies under examination
were the STANDARD Accident Company
of Detroit; the United States Health
& Accident. Of Saginaw; the Massa-
chusetts Accident, Of Boston; the
Great Eastern Casualty of New York;
the Federal Casualty, Of Detroit; the
Equitable Accident, of Boston; the
Continental Casualty, of Hammond,

of Detroit; the Fidelity Accident 3i
Saginaw; the General Accident, Fire
and Life Insurance Corporation; the
American Assurance, of Philadelphia;
the Phoenix Preferred Accident, OF
Detroit; the German Commercial Ac-
cident, of Philadelphia.
The report of one company says;
1T is impossible in language fitted to
be an official document to aptly cnar-
acteriZe what seems to have been the
methods and practices of the industrl-
al department of this concern in set
tling with policy holders. 1t appears
to have resorted to every possible
means to cut and shave down claims
apparently without conscience and Ger
tainIv without right The report
further says that only two or three
companies examined were found to
have been substantially undeservlnS
of any criticism.

BELL BOYS CONFESSION
BEFORE The JURY
Yoanq Paul GeideI Alleged Slayer of
New York Broker.

New York, Aug. 23.-The prosecu-
ton scored a point today in the trial
of Paul Geidel, the seventeen year old
bell boy accused of the murder of
William II. Jackson, and aged broker,
when a part of the verbal confession
alleged by the police to have been
made by the boy, was placed before
the jury.
Detective jeremiah II. Barber testi-
fled that Geidel identified a bloody
handkerchief found in his Dom as his,
saying he had used it to wipe his
hands on"
Indications today point that the
possible line of defense will be an effot
to show that Jackson died of heart di-
sease.
