ASK INSURANCE CHANGES
Legalization of American Marine
Syndicates Sought.

Congress is asked to legalize Ameri-
can marine insurance syndicates in a
report made public by the House COM
mittee on merchant marine and fisher.
les and the Shipping Board. This re-.
port points out that certain state anti
trust laws should be repealed. DR.. s.
S. Huebner. insurance expert of the
committee and the board, who wrote
the report. attacks the legislative dis
abilities imposed by state statutes on
the development of American insurance
for American ships and recommends
a more liberal treatment of American
companies in the matter of taxation
and legal restrictions.
Existing state statutes regulating
marine insurance represent a provincial i
treatment of an international business
the report declares. and the adoption
Of remedial measures to put American
marine insurance on a par with foreign
underwriters is advocated
Specifically the report advocates en-.
largfng the classes of insurance which
American marine companies NAV
write; authorization Of reinsurance
with all American companies, irresnec.
tive of state boundaries, and the re.
moval of existing barriers to the entry
of American companies in foreign

Severe Blast Near Embassy.
The most violent explosion occurred
in an alley about $50 yards from
the embassy, near the corner of JET
ferson and 18th streets. 1t is be-
lieved by electrical experts who were
summoned to the neighborhood that
a leaky gas main was the cause. The
gas from this main filtered through
the ground until it found entrance
in the conduit sewer. where it col
lected until sufficient force was gen.

about a manhole. and Scanlon was
about to descend to look over the
cables when the top went up with a
roar. Scanlons derby hat sailed
through an open window of a nearby
bedroom. His face was slightly burned
and his hair and eyebrows badly
singed. Moran was bul ned about the
eyes, and johnson suffered burns

ANDERSON LAUGHS
AT INVESTIG ALTON
New York Superintendent of Anti
Saloon League Sees "Many
Comical Aspects"

Albany, N. Y, Mar. 2.-William II.
Anderson, state superintendent Of the
Anti~Saloon league, in statement is
sued today, declares that "thcrc are 50
many comical aspects Of the proposed
Investigation of the Anti-S Saloon
eagu's activities as authorized in a
resolution adopted by the assembly
last night, that it is hard to take it
seriously"
If the investigation is to be base,
on the passage Of the resolution last
night, it would be palpably illegal, Mr..
Anderson asserts. 1t can not secure the
legal number Of votes without the help
of the Republican organization of the
assembly, and whatever the wishes Of
that organization, it is hardly con-
ccivable that it would place on record
50 open an alliance with Tammany on
the liquor question as to adopt such
a Tammany resolution.
"The Anti-Saloon league has vio-
lated no law, and / have been ready
for legislative Investigations for 20
years."
Legislative leaders in the assembly
made no move today to block the pro-
posed Investigation Of the Anti-Saloon
league as provided for the rcsolu-
ton adopted in the lower house last
night.
committee would go over the evidence
and then report to the assembly
whether general investigation is
deemed inadvisable, inasmuch as no
funds are appropriated in the resolu-
ton for the investigation.

.SPARTANBURG TO VOTE
ON GOVERNMENT FORM

Spartanburg, Mar. 2.-Under spe-
cial act passed by the present session
of the general assembly Spartanburg
will vote on abolishing commission
form of government in an election to
be held May II, next, In case the cleo
tion is in favor of abandonig the
present form of government and cleo
tion will be held soon afterwards for
the election of mayor and alderman,
which will be the for moi government
discarded six years ago. The city is
now governed by mayor and two
commissioners.
For some time the opponents of com
mission form of government have been
agitating the matter of an election on
the subject, but have had their peti-
tions for such an election held irregu-
lar by the courts.
The city's political affairs have be-
come somewhat complicated in recent
weeks through split between the
city council and the Legislative dele
cation. One of the bills passed by the
delegation removes Mayor John f.
Floyd from the police court bench and
provides for city recorder to be
named by the governor of the state
upon the recommendation of the dele
CATION. Governor Cooper has been
asked to veto the measure but It is
not expected that he will do so un-
less requested to do so by the deiega-
ton itself.
