TWO CONCERNS BARRED
FROM OPERATING HERE
Licenses Of Aetna Indemnity Com
pany and United Surety Com
pany Revoked.

Licenses of the Aetna Indemnity
Company of Hartford and the United
Surety Company Of Baltimore have
been suspended for the District, Of CO.
lumbia by George w. Ingham, super
intendent of insurance. This action
follows similar moves by the insurance
commissioners of other states. The
business of the two companies has
been handled in Washington by we'll
known agents. and it is explained by
Mr.. Ingham that in both instances the
receivership is the elimination of cir
cumstances probably beyond the con-
troll of the officers of the companies.
Mr.. Ingham received q letter from Theo-
dore Macdonald, commissioner of insur-
ance of Connecticut. a few days ago, in
which 1t was stated that the Aetna In
demnity Company had gone into the
hands of a receiver, owing to the state
of it's affairs, which have been in a very
unsettled condition since the disclosures
of one Joseph G. Robin of New York.

claiming somewhat easier offering of

ACTION URGED BY TAFT.
Creation Of Tariff Board Discussed
at White House Dinner.

President Taft entertained the repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee at dinner at the White House
last night and renewed his efforts to get
them to agree on some form OF legisla-
ton that will create . permanent tariff
commission.
Though the President openly indorsed
the Longworth bill At the banquet Of the
National Tariff Commission Association
last Thursday night. he made no mention
in the conference last night Of any par
ticular bill. urging the members of Con-
gress present TO agree on a plan Of ac-
ton that will in any event produce a
permanent tariff board or commission to
Investigate tariff questions. What the
President fears most is that in the con-
sestion OF tarin commission bills in the
House the present session will fail to pass
any of them.
The President, il is believed. secured a
halfway promise from the representa-
tives that they would consider the matter
further with a view to harmonizing their
differences.

EFFORTS OF BEARS FUTILE
Bidding Up Of Specialties Met by
Professional Selling.
TRADING GENERALLY LIGHT
Not Much Business at Opening Ex-
cspt in Steel and Reading.
Some Gains Recorded.

NEW YORK. January 16.-The STOCK
market today opened irregular with
sprinklng Of nominal gains and losses
the latter predominating. Some strength
was shown by Lehigh Valley, but TINS
was offset by declines in New YORK CEN
trail and other active issues. Trading was
light except in L. 8. Steel and Reading.
Spasmodic efforts to stiffen the market
by bidding up special stocks such as
Lehigh Valley, Norfolk and Western and
the Rock Island group were defeated BY
persistent selling of the professionals,
who met every rally with considerable
stock. New York Central, Amalgamateo
Copper and American Smelling were de-
pressed a point below Saturdays closing
and other active issues a large fraction.
Bad Washington Reports.
Professional selling was inspired by re-
ports of expected unfavorable develop
ments at Washington. Some comment
was also made about the large increase
in the number OF idle freight cars and
the large reduction in the outstanding
short interest by the recent sharp ad-
vances.
Saturdays favorable bank statement
apparently did not arouse any great pub
lie participation In the market, for deal
inRs continued to be almost wholly pro-
fessional. The Moore-Reid stocks were
supported, but some sharp declines were
affected at other points. During the lat
ter part of the morning there was q
moderate covering movement, which raj
lied the list a good fraction. Bonds were
