PORTUGAL'S new PRESIDENT

Bernardino Machado. the recently
elected president of Portugal. has
been prominent for years in public
life. having served his country as pre-
mier, provisional minister of foreign
affairs. minister of the interior and
minister to Brazil. He has been con-
sidered the foremost man in the re-
publican party, and before the over
throw of the monarchy was regarded
as the logical choice of that party for
the presidency. In January, 1908. he
was accused of conspiracy against the
crown, but the charges never were
proved.
Senior Machado, who is sixty-five
years old, formerly was professor OF
philosophy in Coimbra university. but
was ousted from his chair because he

URGES SPROBEFOR
INSURANCE AGENTS
From a STAFF Correspondent.

TRENTON, Feb. 2.--If Assembly
man Charles w. Ostrom. of Hudson
has his way there will be an immedi'
ate legislative investigation into the
relations between the industrial life
insurance companies in the State and
their agents.
Assem- blyman Ostrom last night
presented for former Alderman
Thomas Loughran, jr., of Jersey city
a resolution calling for an immediate
investigation.
The resolution cites that in other
States investigations have resulted In
the enactment of salutary laws. 1t
also states that charges OF gross
abuses In the management OF com
panies have been given publicity In
the public press and calls for COM
mittee of four to conduct an inVesti-
cation.
Mr.. Loughran. who represents over
1000 agents in the State, gave out a
statement last night, the gist of which
is as follows:
All industrial life insurance agents
in the State are in favor of the pas
sage of the bills, and thousands of
policy holders would welcome an In
vestiga tion of conditions.
No agent can afford to come out
openly for the bill, because he would
lose his jop.
Agents are not allowed to organize
system causes agents to worry SO
that they often become i'll.
Continual bounding for new bust
ness by superiors causes agents to
write questionable policies, overload
ing poor families with more insurance
than they can afford to take.
New agents are held responsible for
lapses Of agents who preceded them.
Agents are penalized for fifteen
times the amount Of the lapsed
policies.
Companies are mulcting their agents
of thousands OF dollars yearly.
Officers of industrial companies get
ting from nickels of the poor salaries
larger than tt at of the President of
the United States.
Many other abuses would be brought
or nv ce7 cial investigation.
The bill which ACCOMPANIED the
resolution reads as follows:
A supplement to an act entitled can
act TO provide for the regulation and
incornoration Of insurance companies.
and to regulate the transaction of in
surance business in this State" ap-
proved Anrii third. one thousand
nina hundrad and two.
BE IL enacted by the Senate and
General Assembly of the state of
New Jersey:
1t shall be unlawful for any firm.
corpora tion or joint stock comnany
engaged in the business of industrial
life insurance in the State Of New
Jersey. to charge against. collect or
deduct from the salary, special salary
or commission of any agent or rep
resentative OF any company for the
lapse or cancellation OF any Industrial
policy, except when an agent repre-
sentative of any firm. corporation or
Joint stock conpany, writes a policy
and said policy lapses within and not
more than twenty-six weeks from
date of issue of said policy, then said
agent or representative writing said
policy shall forfeit all commissions
received by him when the policy was
issued and placed.
This act shall take effect ninety
davs from the date Of the passage OF

But that didn't end the legislative
activities of the new city counsel, by
any means. The experience seemed
to wnet his appetite for more. In

about to give things the "once over"

where House bill Al was momentarily
expected to be brought UP for third
reading and final passage. Here, di-
rectiy In the rear of the newspaper
correspondents table, was seated AL
fred n. Dalrymple, county counsel of
Essex, who was apparently keeping
an eye on bills affecting the Board OF
Freeholders. Mr.. Dalrymple was
quite alone and preoccupied, when Mr..
Frazer approached from the rear and
tapped the county counsel on the
shoulder. The legislative correspond
ents, accustomed to almost every
thing, interpreted the taps as a sort
of S. o. S. signal.
At all events the stalwart county
counsel arose and walked with the
tall and slender city counsel to an
ante-room, where, seated side by side,
on a couch, the two indulged in long
drawn-out tete-a-tete. What 1t was
all about was not the particular bust
ness of the newspaper men, but they
remarked to each other that 1t was an
interesting occurrence from any view
point.
A short time later Mr.. Frazer was
an attentive listener to the debate on
House bill IL, which eliminated in
the defeat of his pet measure. Re-

lington. voting against 1t.
The partisan political motive behind
the bill was so clear to Senator White
that he would not stand for 1t.

would put him back again.
This little trick of his set me
to thinking. BY jing,' l said
to myself, fishes always live in
water because they never tried
living on land. It's just habit
with them So l began to ex-
pertinent on Henery. Each day
I'd let out a bit Of water from
the trough, and I'd observe how
the fish acted. He didn't seem
to notice at all. Finally there
was just enough water so the
trout's back fin showed. Next
day | lowered it a bit more, and
so on until the basin was dry.
And that fish never minded it a
bit. I'd just got him accus-
toned to going without water.
After the fish had got used
to it, | took him out, and would
you believe it, he followed me
around just as though he was a
cog. He would flop along on his
fins and kick away with his tail
so that he got along quite rap
idly. He used to come into the
kitchen and get under the stove.
If the old dog or cat was there
he would slap them in the face
with his tail and if that didn't
start them he would snap at
them. Then he would coil up
and go to sleep.
Henery was some fighter, you
bet; he would pitch into the old
rooster and he'd even pull the
feathers out of the turkey. A
remarkable animal was Henery,
a remarkable animal.
Here Uncle Henry paused,
wiped away an imaginary tear
and reached for your tobacco
pouch. While he filled his pipe
you were supposed to ask,
"What became of that trout %
Uncle Henry would wait until
he had smoke coming out Of his
nose and mouth and then he
would again take up his nara
tive. "What became of the
trout? Why, one day Henery
came tagging after me. | told
him to go home, but he insisted
on following. I had to cross
bridge and Henery plugging
along after me stubbed his tail
on a loose board and feel into
the creek and got drowned" .
