KOUSF FOR ARMY INCREASE
fr
HAY BILL CALLING FOB 100,000
MEN PASSED, 403 TO 3.
W0
. Measure Now Goes to Senate.?Negative
Votes Cast by Britten, Republican,
and London, Socialist.
'
Washington, March 23.?The Hay
army increase bil, providing for a
regular army peace strength of 14 0,000
fighting men instead of the pres
ent 100,000, passed trie nouse late
: y today by a vote of 402 to 2. It goes
to the senate for immediate consider/
ation virtually as drafted by the
house committee.
. The negative votes were cast by
Representatives Britten, Republican,
. of Illinois, and London, Socialist, of
New York.
Z0Y- , Mr. Britten opposed the bill be|S'.
. cause he favored a still further in.
crease in the array and Mr. London
p. because he favored no increase.
The bill is the first of the great na
> tional preparedness measures urged
' by President Wilson to pass either
Kfe-' house, although various related
pi measures have been approved. It
"was finally adopted only after RepreV
sentative Kahn, ranking Republican
|v member of the military committee,
had again met defeat, this time 213
to 191, in his effort to increase the
V;, /: i '
authorized strength of the regulars
7 to 220,000.
During the debate Chairman Hay,
PI? of the committee which drew the bill,
I referred to it as "the president's own
bin.It
was explained at the white
I?, house, however, that while the president
approved the ground plan of
ife the measure, he was not committed to
, its details. The conference on the
" * ? - _ __
I senate and house plans, 10 come aner
the senate acts, is expected by administration
officials to produce a
bill which will have the president's
full support.
Sent to Senate.
The measure went to the senate
tonight and the way has been cleared
for consideration of it to begin there
j next Monday.
1 . Besides providing for 140,000 eni
listed men as the peace strength of
the standing army, exclusive of officers,
hospital and quartermasters'
jhorps and unassigned recruits, the
bill as passed by the house provides
for the building up of a force of 425,000
federalized National Guardsmen
in five years. It/provides for an officer
reserve corps of 50,000, for a
complete industrial reserve and for
new recruiting systems for both the
regular army and the National Guard.
It also contains an authorization for
summer training camps, from which
a third force of federal volunteers is
ekpected to grow, and provides that
National Guardsmen who will receive
the benefits of the militia pay feature
of .the bill shall be subject to immediate
draft into the federal service in
war time.
Nearer to Senate Bill.
During the process of amendment
in the house the bill was brought'ap1
preciably closer to the measure prev
pared by the senate committee in sev ra*
respects. Important among
ife these was the insertion of the senate
hill's provisions as to the regular
' ?army enlistments, which are expected
to rapidly produce the desired
?|y? reservists. On this section ChairfeiC
man Hay, of the military committee,
the bill's sponsor, was defeated. The
? -\ only other impottant amendment,
pl^ carried by a vote of 224 to .180, defe
spite his opposition was that striking
fy < out the entire section which proposed
,to have the government embark into
a nitrogen manufacture project,
which aroused opposition on the
v, ground that it involved immense expenditures
in conjunction with private
enterprise.
VERDICT FOR NEWSPAPER.
V-* Suit Against Anderson I>aily Mail
Fails.
Anderson, March 25.?In common
? pleas court here today a suit for $15,000
for alleged libel, brought by S.
C. C. 'Galloway, of Easley, against
the Daily Mail, the jury brought in a

able one and the case will likely be

LETTEK TO KIKE AGENTS.
McMaster Urges Them to Becom
M I'aL'oi'C
j
Fitz Hugh Mc.Master, insuranc
I commissioner, has addressed a cii
cular letter to fire insurance agent
in South Carolina urging them t
make connections with their com
panies under the insurance brokers
act. The letter also contains a brie
explanation of the brokers' act. I
is as follows:
"On my recent visit to New Yor
I could discover no evidence what
ever of any vindictiveness on th
part of the officers of the insuranc
companies whom I visited. Unles
there be some such feeling and a:
intent to punish South Carolina?th
innocent with the guilty?I can se
no reason why the responsible agen
who has won the confidence of hi
companies by fair dealing and care
ful selection of risks should not con
tinue to do business with the sam
companies under the brokers' act.
"Indeed, the companies acceptin
business under this act will be ii
j better position than they have eye
j been before. They will be operatin
tinder the laws of their own State
bound only by such laws and by thei
consciences.
"In other words, if you take i
broker's license, you will then be rep
presenting the assured and you wil
be dealing with your company whic]
has now withdrawn from the State
not subject to any of the laws of th
State and bound only by its own pol
icy contract issued in accordanc
with the laws of its own State.
"The brokers' act carefully pro
vides for the inspection of risks, in
dorsements on policies and adjust
ment of losses. The company wil
be free from all license fees am
taxes in this State, and therefore i
would be within its power even to al
low you a little excess commissioi
over that heretofore allowed.
"You as the licensed broker mus
pay 4 per cent, on the gross phem
iums written in the policy." Whethe
this should come out of the commis
sion which was allowed you or out o
the assured for whom you place tin
insurance would be a matter of ar
rangement for you. As you kno\
any resident of this State who ha
been a licensed insurance agent fo
two years may be licensed as an in
surance broker to represent the as
sured. The other conditions for li
cense will be furnished you upon ap
plication.
"I suggest your taking this up wit!
such companies as you have serve<
faithfully and well, and it woul<
seem to me that for your relief a:
well as for the advantageous condi
tions under which they could issui
insurance vou should be able to plac<
a large part of the insurance whicl
you have heretofore placed with sue!
companies."
NATURAL CAUSES VERDICT.
Orangeburg Man Found Unconscioui
and Dies Later.
Orangeburg, March 22.?Elli!
Mack, foreman of one of the count:
chain gangs, was found in an uncon
scious condition Monday night abou
11 o'clock and died early next morn
ing. When discovered the man wai
lying on the ground, near the cornei
of Russell and Broughton streets hi
his buggy, in which he had just come
up to the water trough. His heat
showed that he had received a licl
across the side of the forehead, bu<
whether it was caused by foul pla:
or from a fall following a stroke o
apoplexy, could not be determined.
Coroner Gramling held an inques
this morning, but there was no evi
dence to show that there was fou
play. However, the inquest was con
tinued till the afternoon -to alio?
time for an examination by physi
cians. The result of the examinatioi
was the finding of evidence of deatl
from natural causes, and the jur;
returned a verdict to this effect.
