WIDOWS TO GET INSURANCE.
Creditors Can Secure Only Cash Surren
der Value of Policies.

Washington, April 30.-Widows and
other relatives Of deceased bankrupts
won victory Monday IN the supreme
court. which held that only the cash sur
render value of insurance policies goes
to the trustees in bankruptcy for cred
TORS and the remainder to the widows or
other relatives of bankrupts. The de-
eision changes what was held to be the
law in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
and removes doubt as to the point in all
the other states. Justice Day rendered
the courts opinion, which turned upon
the Interpretation of the intention OF
congress in passing the bankruptcy act.
I'm passing this sttute," said he,
Congress intended while exaeting this
much, 1.-THE value of the policy at the
time of the beginning of the bankruptcy
proceedingl that the bankrupt should be
permitted to retain the insurance, which,
because Of advancing years. or declining
health. it might be impossible for him
to replace. 1t is the two-fold purpose
of the bankruptcy act to convert the
estate Of the bankrupt into cash and dis
tribute it among creditors and then to
give the bankrupt fresh start with
such exemptions and rights as the
statute left untouched

MEMoRIALIzEs CONGRESS.
Massachusetts,, Legislature Is worried
About the Tariff.

Boston, April 3O.--In accordance with
the request of Governor Foss IN his re-
cent message, both branches OF the leg
stature yesterday adopted a resolution
memorializhing Congress sin support oil
the principle of protective reduction
through reciprocity in all tariff making"
The resolution says in part; that the
policy of opening the markets OF the
United States to the unrestricted com
petition OF the rest of the world, advo-
Gated by the president in his message
and pending bill, which is long step
toward the complete establishment OF
that policy, appears to the legislature
in direct contravention OF the wishes
of the voters of the United States and
especially of this commonwealth as eN-
pressed in the last election"
1t is urged that tariff legislation UNI
dertaken by Congress be based upon the
protective principle, that tarid com
mission of dsinterested experts be re-
established and a reasonable opportunity
be given those interested to be heard
before final action is taken.

A TEN-CENT BOX
OF "CASCARETS"
Insures You for Months Against Sick
Headache, Biliousness, Constipation
or a Bad Stomach.

Put aside--just once--the salts, ca
thartc pills, castor oils or purgative
waters, which merely force passage,
way through the bowels, but do not
thoroughly cleanse, freshen and purify
these drainage or almentary organs,
and have no effect whatever upon the
liver and stomach.
Keep your inside organs pure and
fresh with Cascarets, which thoroughly
cleanse the stomach, remove the undi-
gested. sour and fermenting food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the ntestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you feel
great by morning. They work while
YOU sleep--never grippe sieken and cost
only 10 cents box from your druggist.
Millions of men and women take Cas-
caret now and Thea and never have
headache, biliousness, coated tongue, in
digestion, sour stomach or constipated
bowels. Cascarets belong id every
household. Children just love to take
them.

New Haven President Is to
Give Testimony in the
Railroad Hearing
FEELS PRESENCE

He Fears Public's differences
May Be Wrong-More
Figures

Boston, April 30.--Charles S. Mellen
president of the New Haven railroad
will appear and testify before Commits
sioner Charles A. Prouty of the inter
state commerce commission at the New
England railroad hearing in the federal
building, according to information OBJ
tanned late yesterday afternoon, and de-
spite the telegram sent out from New
Haven to the effect that MIR. Mellen
would not attend the hearing.
There is reason to believe that Mr.
MeIlen is far from satisfied with the
turn that events have been taking for
several days past at the hearing, and Is
determined that the differences which
the public is drawing from the testimony
of Examiner David Z. Brown, chief OF
the commissions staff of accountants
regarding thu financial dealings OF the
New Haven with its subsidiaries, can
best be met by himself. Mr.. Mellen is
understood to feel that it is most i'm
portant to his own reputation and that
of the other officials of the New Eng
land lines that charges made by Louis
ID. Brandeis and based on what Mr.
Brown has shown from the books Of the
different companies be explained, and
shown in their "true light" according
to the Mellen version.
Commissioner Prouty is to resume his
sitting this morning, relieving his son
Examiner Ward Prouty, who has been
here for several days. According to the
arrangement made when the commits
sioner left. Vice President Robbins OF
the New Haven was expected to testify
as soon as he returned, or else the eN'
animation of Mr.. Brown was to continue
with opportunity for the New Haven
LAWYERS to cross question him. Mr.. Rob
bins is too i'll to be on hand From
present indications Mr.. Mellen will not
appear today and the DISCRIMINATION
OF Mr.. Brown will be taken up. Mr.
Melen is expected to take bis turn on
the stand when the commissioner re-
turns to Boston again. as he viii DC
here only one day this time.
There were more sharp verbal eN'
changes yesterday between Vice Presl'
dent auckland and Charles F. Choate
ir., for the New Haven, and Louis y
Brandeis, at the interstate hearing on
railroads. The crowd was the largest
of any day so far and many times the
men in the seats and standing burst into
laughter when points were made IN .he
wordy encounters.
More figures were brought out show
ing. apparently. if taken on their face
that the New Haven supplied money to
some subsidiaries to enable them to pay
dividends to the New Haven.

What the Legislators of the Granite
State Are Doing.

Concord, n. H., April 3O.-A bill to
incorporate the New Hampshire Water
Supply company with capital stock OF
81 100000 passed the Senate yesterday.
The new company purposes to tap
Merrymeeting lake at New Durham
which is supplying water to cities and
towns in wide area.
The lake is the source OF supply to
Lake Winnepesaukee and Merrlmack
rivers and considerable opposition was
expressed from manufacturing interests,
claiming their water supply would be
affected.

alton of SS7 800 for new dormitory at

lery armory at Portsmouth, the federal

An excited debate and heated wran-

measure was slow, but the talk was loud
and vociferous, and on one occasion
brought Speaker Clark to the iioor with
a vigorous speech.
All day the Republicans offered amend
ments to various paragraphs in the chem
zeal schedule and every amendment was
calmly voted down by the big Demo-
cratic majority.
Several minor amendments offered by
the ways and means committee to cor

Most of the talk of the day which
aroused controversy turned on the rec
ords of the Democratic and Republican
sides of the House on the question oil

Republicans declared the weakness
