COMMITTEE GRILLS
INSURANCE EXPERT
Actuary Led to Conclusion by Ques'
tons that Company Lost Money
During the Year.

While Lee Wolfe. expert consulting
actuary of New York, in his testhnohS
before the House subcommittee 1nVesu-
eating the affairs of two local IN
surance companies, protested louolS
that there were no figures TO JUSTIFY
such a computation. or rather that the
condition indicated by the figures he was
requested to put down did not exist
Representative Prouty yesterday led MIN
to a conclusion that a loss or Slo''ooV
existed in the accounts OF the IoH-
mercial Fire Insurance Company Tor the
wear 1872 Mr. Wolfe, who was called oy
the defense, concluded his testimony yes
terday morning and Immediately there
after a recess was taken until MONDAY
morning.
After a great deal OF sparring between
MIR. Wolfe and Judge Prouty. the Wit
ness returned an Affirmative answer 10
the question:
From \ policyholder's standpoint, you
were $4,000 short?'' This figure, how
ever. included the insurance reserve.
Mr.. Wolfe contended, however. that at
the end of the year the company mad
lost $1,000 on its operations, but still
had a surplus of $1,000 II the affairs were
to be wound UP at the end OF that
period
dav was about as strenuous an affair
as the hearings have brought forth. Ef-
forts to reconcile the viewpoints OF Mr.
Wolfe with that of Judge Prouty and
Representative Redfeld. both viewpoints
involving different handling Of the same
figures, left the lay mind sadly tumbled.
Apparently either party to the contro-
versy can prove his point by the same
figures. arriving at widely different re-
suits.

FlIBUSTER BY. MANN
ON ALIEN MEASURE
Conference Report on immigration
Bill to Be Considered
at Once.

By a vote of l7s to %, divided on nom
partisan lines. the House decided late
yesterday afternoon to consider imme-
diately the conference report on the
Burnett immigration bill. This test vote
indicated that the report eventually will
be adopted. but as soon as II was an
nounced the opponents of the bill, lead
by Representatives Mann, Moore. and
SABBATH. renewed their flibuster. which
had staved on action since the convening
OF the House yesterday.
In renewing the filibuster. Representa-
tive Mann made the point OF order that
the conference report contained matter
which was not properly before the con-
ferees, and that they had included in
the Ibill matter which had never before
been considered by the House. Mr.
Mann's point of order brought on the
second parliamentary wrangie of the day
and temporarily sidetracked Represents
tive Hamil of New Jersey. who was
waiting to offer a motion to postpone
consideration OF the bill. Speaker Clark
ruled that the vote on the immediate
consideration OF the bill should take
precedent over a motion to postpone its
consideration.
Before the vote on the question of con-
sideration was taken, the filibustering
opponents of restricted immigration made
three separate points of no quorum and
caused as many roll calls.
The chief bone of contention in the
immigration bill is the illiteracy test,
which has been fought from the outset
and which precludes from American
shores any alien who is unable to read
his own or some other language. The
bill as agreed upon in conference also
increases the head tax from "a to $ and
requires that steamship companies shall

JOKER DISCOVERED
In THE KENYON BILL
Citizens Who Ask for Injunction Must
Pay the Court Costs if 80
They Lose.

The Kenyon red light bill, which
provides a permanent injunction against
the use of houses in the District for dis
reputable purposes, was passed IN the
Senate yesterday without discussion ana
without objection.
The measure now goes to the House.
where it will be referred to the District
Committee The committee already has
on its calendar the same bill, introduced
by Representative Prouty of Iowa
No action will result from the bills
at this session so far as the House DIS
trict Committee is concerned. There Is
nothing in the present situation, so Tar
as District legislation is concerned, to
indicate that the House District Com
mittee will transact any great amount
of business before March 4, when the
life of the present Congress expires.
BY the terms of the bill whoever main
tains or releases house of ill-fame is
guilty Of maintaining nuisance C1ti-
zens are permitted to ask for permanent
iniunctions against any such places. and.
having brought the suit, the citizen is
compelled to push it through. II the
Ncourt decides that there is no reasonable
ground for the suit, the costs are to be
assessed against the citizen bringing tho
suit.
For violations of the injunction a per-
son may be punished for contempt Of
more than s1.O0O, or by Imprisonment in
the District Jail for not less than three
nor more than six months, or by both
fine and Imprisonment.
Whenever permanent injunction is is
sued after a criminal prosecution, the sale
of the property and its closing for any
use for a year is to he ordered by the
court. The owner. however. may file a
bond for the faithful performance of the
terms of the injunction and thus have the
property released. When a permanent
Injunction is issued against a piece of
property, a tax of 500 is to be assessed
against the property, to be paid within
three months.
An amendment recommended by the
Senate District Committee and adopted
yesterday by the Senate would enable the
United States attorney or other attorney
representing the prosecution to grant
immunity TO any witness called to testify
in behalf of the prosecution.

letters there and that he had not been
in Cleveland for five years.

HOUSE.

After a seven-hour flibuster. the House
adopted the conference report on the
Burnett immigration bill. During the
filibuster six points OF no quorum were
made and as many roll calls We're had.
After the House had demanded the
previous question on the conference re-
port by a vote Of 167 to -. and during
the forty minutes debate which follow
ed under the rules. Representative SABBATH
OF Illinois made the sixth point of no
quorum and kept the House long past
the usual hour for adjournment. The
hIibuster against the conference report
was lead by Representatives Mann of
Illinois. Moore Of Pennsylvania, Hamill
Of New Jersey. and SABBATH of Illinois.
The filibuster was a nonpartisan affair
and was conducted mainly by members
from city districts which contain a large
element of foreign population.
The chief objection to the Burnett bill
on the part of its opponents is the il
iteracy test which excludes from Ameri-
can ports any alien unable to read his
own or some other language. The bill
was bitterly fought when it originally
