HAS CONGRESS THE POWER?
House Committee Hears Diverge
Opinions on Insurance Control.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. S. Acting under
instruction of the House, the judiciary
committee today began an investigation in
order that it may report whether or not
Congress has the power to provide Fed
eral control of Insurance. That this au
thority docs exist was maintained by R.
W. Breckinridge, of Omaha, Neb., chair
man of the insurance committee of the
American Bar Association. The opposite
view of the Question was presented bv
George "Whltlock. of Baltimore.
The Bar Association, by a vote of 113
to 29, sent to its insurance committee for
consideration a resolution declaring Fed
oral control of insurance illegal and un
constitutional under the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States. Mr.
"Whltlock was the author of . that reso
lution, and presented that view today.
Mr. Breckinridge presented statistics to
show that the insurance business Is Na
tional and not local in character. Twenty
of the largest insurance- companies, he
aid. do only 13 per cent of their business
In the states wherein they were char
tered. Mr. "Whltlock contended that the Amer
ican Bar Association had not committed
itself upon the question, and that. If the
Supreme Court had ever established any
doctrine, it'was that 'insurance .was not
commerce. Thre OlMT .-.TifdMoM'
Associate Justices haL all gone on record
io that effect.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-John Vanderpool.
family physician to John A. McCall the
former president of the New York 'Life

today confirms the report of the destruc

having been composed of Boxers. The
damage amounts to $30,000. The American
missions were uninjured. Details are"

visitors. Dr. Schurman said:
"I esteem It a privilege and honor to
welcome to Cornell University the Illus
trious Commissioners whom His Majesty,
the Emperor of China, sent to the United
States to study our institutions. Their
visit, by enlarging Chinese knowledge of
America and American knowledge of
China, will produce the natural fruit of
mutual acquaintance, which is mutual un
derstanding and mutual sympathy. The
relatione between your country and gov-
mnt ad ours hive always been
marked by sincere friendship and cordial
ity. . And though, at present, there Is a.
ripple here and there on the surface, the
occasion of It can be easily removed. If,
indeed. It has not already been removed."
President Schurman referred to the Chi
nese visitors as the representatives of th
oldest civilization In the world, and con
tinued: "In no other government In the world
do scholars receive such recognition as in
yours. A nation which selects wise men

policies of peace, is for those things enti
tled to the respect and admiration of edu
cated and humane men the world over."

In Philippines.

troops near to be used for that purpose.

Senators that the matter Is or such Im
portance that the committee on the
Philippines should take up ahd con
sider it.
BAY CITY JUDGES CROOKED
F. J. Hcncy Electrifies Bench and
Bar by Statement at Banquet.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 3.-FrancIs J.
Hcney has stirred the har and bench, and
the public generally, by a declaration that
"a majority of the Judges on the Superior
bench of the City and County of San
Francisco are crooked."
The statement was made in response to
a toast at a dinner at the Family Club,
in honor of Judge M. -C. SIoss. who has
Just been raised from a Superior Court
Judgeship to the Supreme Court- by ap
pointment. Heney contention came like
a thunderclap, as several members of the
court whose honesty he assailed were
guests at the banquet.
He explained that by "crooks" he did
not necessarily mean men who accept
bribes, but men who arc not Influenced
In rendering their decisions, by facts nor
weight of legal authority, but who decide
cases at the bidding of corporations, or
at the instance of political bosses, or as
a bid for popular applause.
Mr. Hcncy refused to name the seven
members of the Superior Court he dubbed
"crooks." As at present constituted the

juunnc, -Kerrigan, Hosmer, Scawell, Cook
and Murasky. Jn discussing his speech,
Mr. Heney said to a reporter:
"The Judges of the city and county of
San Francisco, nearly half of them, are
notorious for their disregard of facts and
the law in deciding cases. They fear pub
lic opinion. They fear certain wealthy
corporations. And their fear of certain
men influences them In their decisions.
"I don't mean to say that they accept
money, but the most of them lack the
courage to stand by their convictions and
decide a case on Its merits when a ver
dict would be detrimental to the Interests
of the powers they must please."
Todav the JiiiIcm sta imr nnrt fliorit
may be some .steps looking to concerted
action.

FIGHT TO II DRAW
"Kid" Hermann
Give Splendid
and Herrera
Exhibition.
TWENTY LIVELY ROUNDS
Chicago Man Displays Greater Clev
erness, but the Bakcrsficld .Boy
Is There With the
Harder Punch.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Feb.3. "Kid"
Hermann, of Chicago, and. Aurello
Herrera. of Bakersfleld. CaL, fought 20
rounds to a draw before the Pacific
Athletic Club tonight. The fight was
an interesting one, a splendid exhibition
of cleverness on Hermann's part and
of aggressiveness on Hcrrera's, with
disadvantages in height, weight and
reach to overcome.
Hermann fought with splendid gen
eralship and cleverness. From the
first to the 13th rounds Hermann had
a decided lead on points.-using his left
to Herrcra's body successfully, espe
cially in the in-flghtlng. of which there
waK a great dcaL Herrera, who was
stronger, and showed the hardest
punch, tried hard to put his knockout
right on the Jaw, but did not land it
squarely during the entire fight.
He staggered Hermann several times
by hitting him on the back or the neck
and head, tyut the clever ducking and
quick recovery of the Clncago lad
saved him from serious harm.
After the tenth round Hermann
gave his attention to Herrcra'a face
and head, using a stiff left Jab that
found Ha mark on Herrera's face many
times. As long" a he boxed with Her
rera and kept him from setting him
self for a blow, Herman had the ad
vantage, but in the exchanges Hcr
rera's superior hitting' ability told.
BEST ATHIjETKS FOR ATHENS
Winners of Portland Games XoL Fa
vored by Athletic Union.
NEW YORK. Feb. 9. (9pccial.)-Now
tliat the money is being subscribed freely
and there docs not seem to he any doubt
about the necessary amount being raised
to send a team of American athletes to
Athens in April, the athletes are wonder
ing who are to be the favored ones. Al
though the committee in charge of the
work of picking the team has not made
any announcements a to how it will se
lect the men. It Is pretty well understood
that the plan will be to give the American
and intercollegiate champions the prefer
ence, and then make the rest of the team
from the country at large.
Ordinarily this plan would be satisfac
tory, but last year the A. A. U. champion
ships were held In Portland, Or., and the
East was not represented on account of
the impracticability of sending men on the
long Journey. Only ono Easterner took
part In the games, and he iron his event.
As the same man could only get fourth
place In the same event in the Metropoli
tan championships, it looks as If the win
ning of an American title this year did
not signify vers much, and to give first
choice to the A. A. U. champions of thla
year would not be fair to some ten or a
doren Eastern athletes who are far su
perior. In time at least, to the winners at
Portland. Many more great athletes would notso
to Greece If last year's champions were
to bo picked first, and it would be the
greatest injustice to America if these men
were not sent to show the foreigners what
the Yankees can do In the line of sport.
The Portland games, the crack Eastern
athletes say. did not offer a true test of
the ability of America's best athletes.
IS LOOKING FOR UMPIRES.
President Bert Unable to Secure
"Silk" O'Laughlln.
President Bert is endeavoring to secure
some of tho bct umpires in the country
for his league during the coming season,
lie has been after "Silk" McLaughlin, but
has been unable to secure his signature
to a contract. Silk notified Bert that ho
could not see his way clear to accept a
berth In this league. So far. nothing has
been heard from Jack Sheridan, another
big league official, whose irrvlces arc also
In demand by President Bert.
Nordyki returned his contract to St.
Louis minus his signature, says a npto in
a San Francisco exchange, and he has
asked for better terms. The big first
basemen was expecting a larger salary
than St. Louis offered him. When a play
er goes into the big league h naturally
looks for his income to Increase, but In
Nordyke's case Tacoma paid him almost
an much money last year as the St. Louis
contract called for. Nordyke has asked
lor 2K0 for the mason, which seems like
a reasonable salary for a beginner. There
are tome clubs In the Pacific Coast
League paying Mgger money than this to
its -players.
Loula Runklc. who held down third base
for Portland the greater part of last sea
