 At this point, Chairman Good was interrupted by Representative Old field, Democrat of Arkansas. who said he feared the Republican party would impose sales tax to take the place of the one it wanted to repeal

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Plans for financing the sale for export pur- pose of 400. 900. 900 of the 600.OOO 900 pounds of surplus copper in the American market were made public here tonight with the an- nouncement that the product was pledged as security for S4O.OOO.- 900 eight per cent notes of the Copper Export Association to be offered fro public sale by a bank ing syndicate headed by the Ma tional City Company and the Guaranty Trust Company of New York

DOOMED NEGRO, NUT
 DEAD
Attorney General Decides Fact That Execution Day
 Passed Is Unimportant

NEW ORLEANS. La, Feb. 9.-An opinion handed down today by Attor- ney General Coco declared that Lon nie Eaton, the negro whose execution February I, the date set. was forgot ten by the sheriff of Ouachita parish, may legally be hanged.
 Prior to the rendering of the opin- ion many attorneys had contended that because the negro's life had once been placed in jeopardy when the governor fixed the date for execution. reprieve. he could not now be legally hanged. but was legally dead and must be granted his freedom.
 The attorney general, after setting out that he could find nothing to fur nish a basis for such arguments, ruled:
 Authority is conferred upon tn governor to have the death sentence executed and 1t Is made the duty of the sheriff to execute the criminal in conformity to the death warrant on the date named by the governor, and the law further provides that the death sentence shall be executed, by hanging the person by the neck until he be dead
 That these specific provisions Of the law might be carried out in so important matter by the failure Of an officer to perform his duty is be- yond reason. The idea may have orig mated from an ancient superstition by which it was thought that if the crim- inal was not thoroughly killed, and revived. he was thereby rescued by the unforeseen hand of Providence.
 The attorney general ruled then that it would be legal for the goyer- nor to again fix a date for the execu- tion of the negro, who was convited of the murder of Charles McQuiller. white planter. in 1917.
 A movement has been started in the state to have the death sentence commuted to life imprisonfnent-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-An Ameri- can navy -at least equal to that of any other power" is advocated in a report of the senate naval committee filed today in the senate. The com mittee, replying to the Borah resolu- tion, said "it is not practical, and is not sound policy, to suspend naval construction for six months nor at all" It urged completion of the great 1916 naval program, except that two huge naval aircraft carriers be built in place of l2 destroyers and six submarines authorized, but not con trafted for.
 Capital ships remain the principal units of sea power. the committee said. adding that submarines and air craft were as yet only auxiliary forces.
 The committee report. to which Senator King. Democrat of Utah. plans to file a minority report tomor- row. expressed a desire that an agree ment for limitation of naval armament might be reached among the nations. but said until some such arrangement was made the United States should continue its building program.
 "In view or the importance of sea power to the United States" the com mittee said, "and the fact that with out it. we would be at the mrecy Of other nations. it is the opinion of your committee that this country should maintain a navy at least equal to that of any other power. The lessons of history teach us that we cannot af- ford to depend for the maintenance of our rights and the uDsens- ur ,ne lives and commerce of our citizens upon the mercy generosity or good will of other powers, with rival or conflicting interests and ambitions"

FIRE INSURANCE MAY GO UNDER
 STATE CONTROL
Arizona Senate Considers New Addition To Duty
 Of Commissioners

PHOENIX, Feb. Sire insurance business was under discussion in the senate of the Arizona legislature to- day when the committee of the whole considered the Schleimer to put fire insurance companies doing business in Arizona under the jurisdiction of the state corporation commission, It was said to have been modelled to some extent along the lines of the Kansas law. Four representatives of the board of underwriters were present, having come from San Francisco and one of them, a MT. Long, addressed the senate. describing hardships which he said had been placed on rae r1re insurance companies in Kansas, con- polling them to go to the courts for relief. The returns of the companies had been cut to a minimum. Long spoke for 45 minutes at the end or which time Senator Schleimer remind ed him he had not vet touched upon an important subject, the relief Of Ari- zona from discrimination in rates, discrimination between towns and even discrimination between the in- sured in the same town.
 Senator Schleimer sa.n lr had been brought to his attention that fire in surance rates in Arizona were 100 to 200 per cent higher than those on the same classes of property under similar conditions in Texas, New Mexico and California.
 Neither Long nor the other insar- ance men were prepared to discuss that matter at the moment, not hay nF that all the rates were susceptible of a reasonable explanation
 Senator Schleimer said that that was the trouble He said the rates were confusing and could not be com prehended by the average person and for that reason il was desired to put them under the supervision of an agency familiar with rate making.
 Former Senator Harry karns, of Nogales, appearing as ''the represent ative of the insured and who was said to have been largely responsible for the introduction of the bill, sad agitation in Nogales for regulation or insurance rates had been commenced several years ago without result He added that representatives of various insurance companies had visited No gales and had admitted an ineQuitable arrangement existed there and had promised relief which. however, never came. Then it was resolved to have recourse to regulatory legislation. One of the San Francisco repre- sentatives denied that discrimination existed as between Arizona and Cali fornia, saying the rates were about ! the same in towns of similar size He compared Phoenix with Dinuba, CaIif.. and other California towns of minor importance Some one sug- gested information concerning the Fresno rates. The speaker replied that comparison between Fresno and any Arizona town was impossible. LA the conclusion of the hearing the com mittee recommended passage of the bill

GERMANY WILL PAY OR SUFFER
 BRAND PLEDGE
Chamber of Deputies. After Eour-Day Debate, Gives
 Premier Confidence

PARIS, Feb. g. (By the Associated Press)-The chamber of deputies to- night gave vote of confidence to the government. demanded by Premier Briand as a condition of his going to the London conference. The vote was 3S7 to l25.
 This. however, was only after four days debate on the reparations agree ment. which was criticized by almost a score of speakers, particularly M Klotz and M. Hardieu.
 The agreement was ratified by a vote of S95 to SS. although many dep. uties abstained from voting.
 Two members of the former Glenn. enceau administration objected to the agreement on the ground that it was an annex or protocol to the treaty. which permitted the reduction of what was due to France, without her receiving any equivalent compensa- tion.
 M. KlotZ quoted figures to support his argument and considered that his speech was responsible for a or 50 abstentions.. which reduced the min istry's majority. That majority. how ever. was never in doubt, although 1he tehpei Ol Ole muse Was ol'eu petulant and interrupted and minor disturbances were frequent.
 M. Briand expressed regret that America, which had given SO many proofs of its cordiality to France. was not present in the allied councils. but he recognized that a change of admin istration was long and important operation.
 At the afternoon session the pre- mier announced that unless he ob- tained vote of confidence he would resign. He ended the long debate by declaring the fate of Germany lies in her own hands. Should she. after May 1. refuse to fulfill her pledges, the French government can be relied upon to take all measures to make her"
