president of the V. P I For many
months there hate been insinuations
and allegations of ministerial ineffi

various strictures on I>r. Barringer,
and as a result arraigned the presi

No allegation of intellectual unilt

are based exclusively on his lack of
administrative capabilities.
Richmond Alumni With Hint.
The report of the Welfare Commit
tee was made several weeks ago rite
Richmond members of the Alumni
Association differed with the Welfare
Committee snd supported Ur. Bar
ringer, as did the Virginia Tech, pub
llahed at Btaokahurg. Both endorse
Ur. Barrlngsr very alrongly.
After the charge* compiled by the
Welfare Committee were filed with
the Board of visitors. Ur .Barringer
was Informed that a hearing would
be granted him and an opportunity
afforded to reply to the allegations
made to hta detriment. Dr. Barringer
declared he was unprepared to meet
the charges at that time because of
pressing business and asked that' the
hearing be postponed until March 1.
by which time he ecpected to have
gis feply ready to submit to the
ttpard. The board was not ready to
meet them, and in addition. It vus
ggreed that a copy of Dr. Barring*! *

they cannot form an opmton until they

given careful consideration to Dr. Bar

Former Chairman of Board of Un

Fees Paid Lawyers for
Illegal Services.
NEW YORK, March 1 —Further
sensational revelation* of the meth
od* of Are Insurance companies In
dealtna with matter before the New
Vorfr State Ijegtelature were noted l(i«
day when the inquiry by State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss was
resumed.
At yesterday's session it was shown
by E. P. Kennedy, a tire insurance
broker, who in 1*01 was a member
of the Uw» and Legislation Commit
tee of the. New York Board of Fire
Underwriters, that this organisation,
composed of ofllcera of all the Are
insurance companies doing business
in New York State, spent consider
able sums for legislative purposes.
The amounts expended have not been
finally determined.
When the hearing was resumed to
day C. L. Case, former chairman of
the laws committee of the New York
Board of Underwriters, gave some
sensational testimony as to expendi
tures He declared that certain Arma
of lawyers employed by tbe under
writers to do legislative work were
permitted to charge lump sums al
though other Arms had to put in items
of bills. Case said he had destroyed
most of hia records, so he could not
throw light on many expenditures.
Tells of Graft.
He was examined at length by Al
fred Harrell, representing Superin
tendent Hotchkiss. It was shown that
Davies. Stone and Auerbach, a New
York law Arm. received more than
$5.1*00 in 1*01 for the same work
that E. R Kennedy admitted collect
ing »IS.311 for yesterday. They re
ceived an annual retainer to look af
ter Insurance legislation, and in 1*03
received' 32.500 for "examining and
reporting pending insurance legisla
tion."
He stated that during that year
colonel Reuben U Fox. secretary of
the Republican Mate committee, re
ceived *710 for eHnftar week.
A bill for I17,»00. paid to Sherman
* Sterling. N«*r York attorneys, for
“reporting on bill* ponding in th«.Leg
islature of 1*06," ws*-shown to the
witness On the bill was endorsed
the fact that the money was expended
in "opposing inimical insurance Jeg
trlatlbn snd for work done before
legislative rommittse." There was no
Itemised statement w'th U, awT Hit
reil wanted to know why tiro waa
snd why the bill was so large. Case
declared the Arm as "a high-priced
one." but could not remember what
the money was paid out for. The
tame Arm received $15,000 for simi
lar work done in 1$0S. and this time
this bill was not itemised either.
Case nas asked If It was not true
that a certain portion of the money
covered in bills brought out. and
expects) ly in the bill of Kennedy iden
tified yesterday, was paid to politi
cians.
"1 have no such knowledge.” he
said.
A number of other questions designed
to show where the money went were
unanswered by the witness, who
claimed he had no personal knowledge
of just what expenditures were made
for, a* hia memorandum on the sub
ject had been destroyed.

The precedent on which Speaker
Cannon made the, ruling against the
Norris resolution occurred on Decent- T.
ber 13. 187.8. "This identical ques
tion arose in the House," said Mr.
Cannon. Mr. Roger <J. Mills, of
Texas, prdpiwed os a question Of HBMr'-.:

t>o«ed to-day, to offer from the floor
for immediate consideration a propo
sition looking to the amendment of
the rules, and when objej-tlon wa»
made, as it is made to-day. Mr. Mills
argued: 'it is the constitutional privi
lege of a House of Representatives
to adopt rules at any time; It is *
continuing power of which the House \
cannot divest Itself.' The member*
of the House did not agree with Mr,.'"
Mills, and Mr. James A. Garrield ob
jected that It was proposed 'to carrjf
the power in this respect further than
the Constitution justilies. If the po
sition of the gentleman were correct,
a member could at any moment in
terrupt our proceeding by bringing
In a proposition Tor the amendment' -
of our rules.’ - 3
"The great democratic Speaker,
Samuel J. Uandell. hoard the argu
ments for and against the claim of
Mr. Mills, and decided that the prop
osition to amend the rules was not .
a case of constitutional privilege.
