HOSPITALITY IN ALBANY Searching Inquiry Regarding Mutual Life's House In Capital By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.— The house in Albany, N. Y., which testimony before the insurance Investigating committee has heretofore shown was for a number of years maintained by funds of the Mutual Life Insurance company, was again given sole attention by Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee, ■when Michael P. Mullaney, the care taker of the house, was called today as a witness. Mr. Mullaney's testimony was in great part a corroboratlon of previous testimony that A. C. Fields, who was employed as stationery agent for the Mutual insurance company looked after legislative matters and paid the rent for the Albany house. Today a number of vouchers signed by Mullaney were identified by the witness, who acknowledged receiving the money for them. Some purported to be for legal services, some for sun dries and some for traveling expenses. Witness said he was not a lawyer and could not explain why vouchers were made out to that item. J. M. Beck, counsel for the Mutual, however, took occasion to remind the counsel that all vouchers for the maintenance of this house, It had been testified, were charged to legal expenses. Mr. Hughes said that did not explain why some were for travelings expenses and some for sundries. Mullaney could not tell what the sundries were unless they were sup plies. He had taken trips to New York to see Mr. Fields at the latter's sug gestion. He did not know how many times he had been to New York. H«; sometimes bought tickets for Mr. Fields. Nineteen vouchers were identi fied by Mullaney, for all of which he admitted he received the money, which aggregated $5739. These were paid be tween March 7, 19flO, and July 12, 1905. Mullaney said his salary was $25 a month. He had never carried any money to Albany from New York for Mr. Fields and had never paid out any money for Fields. The greater part of the day William Barnes, si\, formerly of Albany but now living at Nantucket, Mass., sat in the committee room waiting to be called, but late In the afternoon ho was excused for the day. Mr. Barnes figured in this investigation several weeks ago when vouchers for legal ser vices, bearing his signature, were pro duced, together witji a letter signed by William Barnes, jr., of Albany, re minding the Mutual Life that his father's "honorarium" had not been re ceived, and further asking that a check be forwarded. Metropolitan Life Examined The Metropolitan Life Insurance company figured in the greater part of the day's proceedings. John H. Hege man, president of the company, who was on the stand when adjournment was taken yesterday, was the first wit ness today, and the expenses of the company were further gone Into. It was brought out that Mr. Hegeman's salary la the same as that of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life, $100,000. Previous to 1905, how ever, Mr. Hegeman received $90,000. The salary of Vice President Haley Flske is $75,000. George H. Gaston, second vice president, receives $37,500, and Frank O. Ayers, third vice presi dent, receives $16,250. The work of agents in the field and their compensation was taken up with Mr. Hageman, and later James Craigh, the actuary, was called to supply de tails as to figures with which Mr. Hage man was not familiar. Late In the day, when Mr. Craigh had been excused, Mr. Hageman was again called and the subject of the company's securities was taken up, but the investigation had hardly begun when adjournment for the duy was ordered. Mr. liegeman said that when the finance committee; consulted him about Increasing salaries In 1904 "1 sail) (hat l bad received $ao,ooo for two years ami was satisfied ami gratlfled ami did not need any increase. They agreed, however, In consideration of my thir ty-five years service, to increase It to $100,000. I have not drawn it, how ever, and don't intend to do so. Of all the words that I abhor the perpen dicular pronoun has the primacy, but I would like to say that, I have aver aged a salary of $50,000 only and have continued with the company to my pe cuniary disadvantage. Fifteen years ago 11 wan guaranteed $100,000 to go elsewhere." "You were complaining yesterday of (UoutiMU** «a !'.«. Xwaj, Los Angeles Herald.

I bow to their will and trust that their welfare may be the only aim of the new administration. "This overthrow of the Republican party In Ohio was not caused by busi ness depression or Industrial adversity anywhere In the state or nation; It was not caused by any mismanagement or corruption In the condition of the state government; It was not caused by any discontent on the part of the people with the record or achievements of the Republican party In the admin istration of state affairs during the last fourteen years. "But despite all these things the peo ple of Ohio have been swept away from the moorings of truth bj» a wave of prejudice and suspicion. Undoubt edly there is a healthy spirit of moral reform, and a widespread Insistence upon courage and honesty in public officers being manifested all over the land. That spirit has shown itself in the election of Jerome in New York, the triumph of Weaver In Philadel phia, and earlier, the breaking down of party lines In Massachusetts, Min nesota and Missouri. Thlsv-fact and these events made it -easy to excite the suspicion. Inflame the conscience and mislead the impulse of the people of Ohio. The real Issues of the campaign were forgotten and the passion that was appealed to throughout the state was to strike down something, de stroy something, avenge some fancied wrong, avert some fancied danger. America's Greatest Danger "The greatest danger now confront ing the American people Is the readi ness to respond to some sudden whim or pretext, desert party principles and follow some Individual who claims, sometimes with sincerity, -often with hypocrisy, to represent a .cause that Is higher than party fealty. This spirit, which would decry party government and party responsibility and establish individual leadership in its stead, may advance some personal ambitions, but can accomplish no good to society. It offers the most fruitful field for the demagogue and the iconoclast, and while some good men may be swept Into power upon a popular wave that overrides principle, the strain upon our Institutions and upon the fundamental truths which He at the bottom of our government will leave the structure weaker rather than stronger. "The Democratic party is the Imme diate beneficiary of this state. What I said repeatedly in tho campaign Is borne out already by the attitude of that party since the election. Its lead ers everywhere are proclaiming my de feat as a Democratic victory. "The one keen regret I feel over the result arises from the disappointment felt by the thousands of Republicans of Ohio who supported the ticket. "I have no other regrets. I dis charged my duties as governor of Ohio with an eye and purpose devoted sole ly to the best Interests of all the peo ple. My conscience Is clear. I bespeak for my successor that support and con fidence which should always encourage ■the public servant, and I trust for ev ery exercise of an honesty of purpose to serve the general welfare he may receive that approval to which an up right conscience is entitled."
