Insurance Inquiry Shows Up the
New York Insurance De
partment.
New York, Dec. 19.The absolute
worthlessness of the state insurance de
partment as a check on wrongdoing in
the management of life insurance com
panies was clearly established at yes
terday's session of the Armstrong in
vestigating committee when the affairs
of three small companies were probed
by the inquisitor, Charles E. Hughes.
The concerns investigated were the
Association of America, the Em
pire and the Provident Savings Life.
It was shown:
That the small real estate holdings
of the Provident Savings Life have
been "marked up" in value $926,997
on the company's boots since 1897. By
such methods as these this company has
been enabled to report a surplus to the
state insurance department each year,
also the possession of the reserve fund
required by law.
That the only assets of the Empire
Life are $5,000 in New York city water
bonds and $3,000 in cash. AH but $700
or $800 of the $3,000 is kept in the far
off island of Trinidad. The company
has $4,000,000 of outstanding insurance
and 2,200 policyholders The state in
surance department in 1903 made a fee

carry a proper reserve fund. The Em

That Henry P. Townsley, president of
the Life Association of America, and
Eugene Van Sehaiek, its counsel, pur
chased 3,960 shares of the company's
stock and paid for their subscription
by borrowing $66,000 from the Ganze
voort bank. Before they could get this
loan they had to deposit the company's
funds with the bank, and give the lat
ter the company's check for the amount
of the loan. The bank liquidated the
loan by using the company's check.
That Townsley and Von Schaick
voted themselves a gift of $50,000 out
of the funds of the company and used
this $50,000 as part payment for the
money taken by the Ganzevoort bank
to cancel their loan.
Henry P. Townsley resumed his tes

medical director $3,000 and the general
counsel $6,000. C. W. Townsley, son of
the president, is the secretary 'and acts
general agent.
He receives no salarv, but receives
commissions, which amounted last year
to $-1,400. The medical director is
George G. Van Schaick, a brother of
the general counsel, who, with the wit
ness, organized the company.
Mr. Townsley said his company had
about 150 annual-dividend policies, of
which about half a dozen had drawn
dividends of 15 per cent. The aveiage
premiums collected on a $1,000 policy
is about $40. The average reserve is
60 per cent of the premium after the

Witness said that the payment of

tors for services in organizing the capi
tal, came under the notice of the insur
ance commission, and this department
referred it to the attorney general, who
demanded that the money oe returned
to the company. The Lire Association

in New York Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Illinois, Alabama, California and Rhode

from doing business in New Jersey last

Revocation of Right to Use Land
at Snelling Is in Ques-
tion.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, Dec. 19.Possibility of
a recommendation of the secretary of
war for the revocation ot* the license
permitting the Twin City Eapid Transit
company to occupy land at Fort Snell
ing is suggested in a telegram sent to
the quartermaster at Fort Snelling late
yesterday by Quartermaster General
Humphrey. The quartermaster is inWalsh
structed to confer with the officials of
the Street railway company"* to see if
some arrangements cannot lie made for
the construction of a waiting room at
the end of the trolley line. It no agree
ment is reached, the suggestions or the
post authorities and of the street rail
way people are to be taken up and a
recommendation made as to which shall
be adopted.
In the event the department's action
is not agreed to by the company, the
questfon of revocation of the license is
to be taken up. Quartermaster General
Humphrey is influenced in his action by
the report of the post surgeon, who
says the health of people occupying
the buildings near the end of the car
line is threatened by the lack of con
veniences for passengers. It is said
here that General Carr's comments on
this report indicate that Colonel Sweet,
post commander, would be justified in
suspending the license pending action
by the department, but there is nothing
in the papers to snow that such action
has been taken. Officials here hope an
agreement will be reached between the
street railway people and the post au
thorities, as the trolley line is of mucH
aid to the officers and their wives and
the enlisted men.

Roosevelt and. Attorney General Moo

made to the house by Representative
Butler Ames of Massachusetts. Mr.
Ames admitted that he had been in
trusted with the task of drawing up
the administration measure, and said
he hoped to have it ready immediately
after congress meets, following the
holiday recess.
Mr."Ames is drawing up a bill which
will provide that all insurance com
panies doing business in the District
of Columbia, the territories and the
insular possessions, must first secure a
certificate from a superintendent of in
surance, who is to be made an Official
of the bureau of insurance of the de
partment of commerce. The insurance
companies, before such a certificate can
be issued to them, must comply with all
the requirements of the superintend
ent as to detailed reports. The super
intendent is also to fix upon a scale ot
ethics.
There is no question of the power of
congress to legislate for the District
of Columbia, the territories and the in
sular possessions. By this method the
troublesome arguments over state's
rights will be done away with.

The day that saw the financial undoina

The story of Walsh's career is a
story of the golden rulewhich was not
applied. I is a story of battles and
struggles, of desperate conflicts, of
fights where quarter was not given or
afked. It is the life story of John R.
Walsh, and his rise and fall.
Eliminated Friendship.
Interwoven in the story is the tale of
the making of Chicago and the history
of a man who eliminated friendship

of leading bankers to take over the
Walsh banks at an appraised value and
continue business. It was stated that
any amount up to $25,pOQ,000 would be
raised for the purpose'.
Walsh and Politics.
Thruout its many ramifications the
Chicago National bank, with John lf.
Walsh as its chief manager, has been
a factor in the politics of Cook coun
ty and, to. a certain extent, in Illinois.
This influence of the bank and Mr.
radiated thru both the demo
cratic and republican parties.
Associated with Mr. Walsh in his
financial institutions was John M.
Smyth,^for years looked on as the nes
tor of the republican party in Cook
county, for years chairman of the re
publican county committee, and always,
until recently, potent in the party
councils.
With Mr. Walsh, also, as vice presi
dent of the bank, was Fred M. Blount,
one of the most prominent of the repub
lican organization leaders.
On the other hand, W. J. Onahan, at
one time a democratic leader and city
controller under Mayor Cregier, was
president of the Home Savings bank.
Influence in Two Parties.
With a bank and a newspaper to aid
him, Mr. Walsh found it eoiifparatively
easy to exert great influence in poli
tics in both parties. One of the results
was that nearly all the public funds
in Cook County'and most of the funds
of the state were deposited in Mr.
Walsh's banks. When the democrats
were in power the city funds found
their wav to the Monroe street institu
tion. So did the county funds, the
park board funds, several of the court
funds and the bulk of the state funds.
In the campaign last year Mr.
Walsh's newspaper, the Chronicle, bit
terly opposed the nomination of Charles
S. Deneen for the governorship. In
the pending contest for the senatorship,
the Chronicle is supporting Senator
Shelby M. Cullom, and it is a strange
irony of fate that the man who forced
the suspension of the Walsh banks
should be Controller of the Currency W.
B. Eidgley, a son-in-law of Senator Cul
lom.

Journal Speoial Service.
New York, Dec. 19.The Times says
editorially, under the caption of "Mr.

It may seem like a paradox to argue
that the embarrassment of three banks
in Chicago could strengthen public con
fidence 111 the soundness and stability
of the city's banking organization as
a whole. Yet undeniably the prompt,
manly and public-spirited action of the
officers of the clearing house banks of
Chicago in uniting to guarantee the de
positors of Mr. Walsh's banks against
careful administration. The other banks
will stand behind it they stand to
gether, all for each. Such a principle of
co-operation and support gives a bank
depositor practically the guarantee
against loss ef all the banks in the city.

More Clever than Bigelow.
Under the caption of "The Crash in
Chicago," the Press says editorially:
"Between the bank-wrecking opera
tions of John R. Walsh of Chicago and
the bank-looting adventures of Frank
Bigelow of Milwaukee the difference
so far as-it seems nowis that Mr.
Walsh will not go to the penitentiary.
Mr. Bigelow had adopted the Walsh
scheme of loading up nis bank with
wildcat stocks and borrowing on worth
less securities, instead of falsifying the
books, he would have escaped prison.
"That the depositors in the Walsh
institutions will not lose every dollar
is a happy chance, due to his associa
tion with men who could not afford,
from purely selfish motives, to let the
bottom drop out of public confidence
in the Chicago banks."
NORMAL CONDITIONS AGAIN
Troubled Banks Are Paying All De
positors in Full.
Chicago, Dec. 19.Practically normal
conditions were restored in local bank
ing circles today and there was not the
slightest surface indication of the dis
turbance caused yesterday by the sus
pension of the Walsh banks.
The runs in the Chicago National
and Home Savings banks continued, but
there was no excitement whatever
around the National bank and but very
little in the offices of the Home Sav
ings bank.
A large crowd of depositors gathered
before the savings bank about an hour
before the time for opening the doors,
and all of them apparently desired to
be the first to obtain money.
There was but one noliceman on duty
in front of the building, and he was
helplessly overmatched. He sent in a

ground that there is no constitutional
authority for it, and, second, that it
will work iniury to state revenues, with
Minnesota as a concrete example of
the latter. State supervision meets all the re
quirements of the situation," said Mr.
Steenerson, in outlining his views to
day. "Allowing insurance companies
incorporated in other states to do busi
ness in Minnesota is merelv a matter
of comity, and state laws can and have
been framed to enable state insurance
officers' to arrive at the facts as to the
condition and stability of these com
panies.
"In my judgment, the only wav tho
federal government can reach these
companies is by taxation, as proposed
by Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee.
''Even if we could enact a law pro
viding for government supervision. I
doubt if it would be efficacious. W*
have laws prohibiting the granting of
rebates, we have laws for the govern
ment supervision of the national banks,
and yet banks are going to the wall
every day.
"Let the states look after the insur
ance companies as they do at present,
and the government get what power it
can out of a taxation measure."
