his wonderful muscular development, but
he has fine head and handsome features.

about his condition. lie says:

out today by the national board of fire

The board places the national fire loss
during the five year period at 81 ,672, 722,-

100000 reports of fires.
Matches and smoking hazards are held
responsible for S9G, 100000 of losses. ac-

Lockwood Report to
Legislature Is Held
Only for Last Draft
Committee Ready 10 Push
Bills TO Bring Exchange,
Insurance Rate Fixing and
UnionsUnderStaIeConirol

The Lockwood committee all but
completed yesterday at an executive
session at the Office Of samuel Inter
mycr the task Of drafting is report to
the Legislature and preparing the REM
edial bills which will be submitted
with t. Another meeting will be
held tomorrow, at which time u rs
expected that the final draft Of the
proposed legislation and the report
will be adopted.
With the changes in both Senate
and Assembly, resulting from the last
election, IL Is expected that a more
determined drive than ever will be
made 20 have enacted measures which
ifr. Untermycr IL particularly inter
osted in and which failed at the last
session only after most determined
fight. II Is known that an effort
will be made 10 bring big business
under the regulation Of a State Trade
Commission, the measure being di-
rected principally against such bodies
as the Stock Exchange and the rate
fixing agencies Of the fire insurance
companies.
Mr.. Untermyer is equally deter
mined 10 press his fight for legislation
giving the state some measure OF au-
thority over the labor unions. During
the course OF the committees invcsti-
CATION the unions connected with the
Building trades have been under fire re-
peatedly and the committees chief
COUNSEL is set on leRislating out OF cX-
istence some Of the abuses which were
uncovered.
Senator Charles c. Lockwood. who
has headed the committee since its or
ganization, will not be in the new Leg
islature 10 lead the fight on the floor
for the bills. lie will retire from pub
lie life on January ! 20 resume the
practice Of law. His place on the COM
mittee probably will be taken by SEN
ator Ward V. Tolbcrt. Of Manhattan.
II is likely that Mr.. Untermyer will b.
in Albany while the measures are "
for consideration.
At the close OF yesterdays meeting
Mr.. Untermyer said that eonsideraJ Die
progress had been made in agreeing on
the text OF both report and legislation
and that the work would probably DO

PARIS, Dec. 27.--The condition Of
Sarah Bernhardt remained unchanged
to-day This could be interpreted by
those in intimate association with the
tragedienne's household only as a bad
sign, in view Of Nine. Bernhardts age
and the state Of nervous and physical
exhaustion she had reached when she
broke down a week ago.
Nine. Bernhardt's physician told The

20 say at this time whether she would
ever again be able 70 continue her
work. Her condition demands absolute
quiet, and this u almost impossible in
