President Wilson will forbid censorship of news (H'lputchea under Government control of wires." Ho assured congressional leaders to day that press associations and press bureau business will be left tindisturb od and asked that the sena'e be so informed to quiet expressed fears t lint Postmaster General llurlesou would es tablish censorship if given control of w i res. The ,piesiilcnt intends that newspa per wiies fclmU continue to be operated with the mime freedom as now, it was stated. Despite this, however, Senators Reed and Wa'son announced they will press their amendments exempting newspa per wires from government control. Inilini'ioiig toi'ay were that the res olution would .pHKg the senate without lijiiendment by tomorrow night; Meantime talk of recess went for ward tiiipidly- ' Negotiations were b:',guu to fix Au gust 20 os the date for a vote on war time prohibition. Irva aro willing to postpone action on the amendment to give congress an opportunity to rceess as soon as the wire resolution is passed, if the wets will agree to fix a date for a vote. Wets 0(roi w itiing to agree that lae prohibi tion question bo made the order of businesss immediately after a recess, but some re not willing to concede a 1"S,I- ttetiuite voting date. An effort to oilituin recess, Senator Simmcns and Representative Kitchiu planned today to see President Wilson. Simmons wishes to tell the president that the prohibition question should go over and a roces lie taken to give op portunity for working out some plan whej'obv inquisition ot' prohibition will not seriously interfere with the work of the fiamers of the revenue bill. Himmona and Kitchin declare prohi bition will cut into, revenues serious ly and will, in addition- send many banks into receivenships, if it is im posed too suddenly, In view of the imminence of a fourth liberty lunu, the; embarrassment of 1anks would bo disastrous the two leaders will toll the president. cienatnr Pomerene, Ohio, OflienCil de late on the wire resolution this after noon when an attack on the interstate ' coniimer.ee ewinmissiun for denying pul.

Speaking of criticism which has been directed to the provisioa cf the n?w insuraiue code relating to rating buieans for fire insurance, ('ommis- sioner Wells says a fire eonjpany does not have to a lopt the s hednlos of a rating bureau if it dois not o desire. "A company is not penrjitted to practieo uuivei'sal dLNcriuiinatiou," he 'says. " No oniany is compelled to adopt any specific schedule, the ques tion being 'eft by law to its own 'chore. The law does require every com-'l-any to abide by the schedule which it has filed or adopted. It gives -the ompaiiy, however, the privilege of fil ing an amended schedule with the in surance commissioner, and the com pany is free to either raise or lower ilis s hedulo at any time it desires, but should it elect to laise or lower its .rtudiile, the higher or lower rates must ib applied to all its customers uniformly throughout the state.
