RECENT LIFE INSURANCE

Call Upon District Attorney to Ascer
tain Whether an Indictment Cannot
be Found Against Officers Who Have
Contributed Funds of Companies to
Campaign Committees Recommend
Civil Action to Cause the Restitution
of the Money.
New York, Oct. 12 The Merchants'
association of. New York, through its
board of directors, to-day adopted reso
lutions calling upon the district attor
ney of New York county to ascertain
whether an indictment cannot be found
against officers of life insurance com
panies who have contributed the funds
of the companies to political campaign
committees. The association also asks
that civil action be instituted by the
etate attorney general looking to the
restitution of the money so contributed.
In addition to the adoption of the reso
lutions, the Merchants' association an
nounced that Distriot Attorney Jerome
would be reqested to' reconsider his de
termination to ask for an extraordi
nary session of the grafod Jury for con
sideration of the matter at this time.
The resolutions adopted are:
"Whereas, In the testimony given be
fore the joint committee of the legisla
ture appointed to investigate life insur
' ance corporations It appears that offl-.
cers of life Insurance companies paid
large sums of money from the funds of
the companies to the republican nation
el committee; and that the entries
made in the books of at least one of the
said companies concealed the fact of
such payments from notice and
, "That, Whereas officers of said com
panies In public statements have re
cently admitted that these paymentis
were made by them or with their con
cent, and . - - . ,
"Whereas, in the judgment of this
board, the excuse offered for these pay
ments Violates every sound principle of
business morality, and Would Justify
the Illegal diversion of public and pri
vate trust funds of every description;
and-:..
"Whereas,, the penal code provides, in
substance, that any officer, director,
trustee or manager of a corporation
who intentionally appropriates, or
causes to be appropriated, any of its
funds to his own use or to that of any
i Other person than the true owner or
person entitled 'to the benefit thereof;
steals such property and lis guilty of
larceny; and v
"Whereas, this board believes that
the interests of the community demand
that this misappropriation, if a crime,
should be visited with adequate pun
1 ishment, that law should be enforced.
Irrespective of the station of the of
fender, and that nothing should be
more operative as a check upon corrupt
use of the money of corporations than
conviction of the offender as a common
thief;
"Resolved, That, in the opinion of
this board, prompt and energetic steps
should be taken by the district attorney
of the county of New York to ascertain
whether an indictment cannot be found
against the presidents of such compa
nies and other officers concerned in
said 'payments; and that It is the opin
ion Of this board that the attorney
general of the state should institute
civil proceedings for the return of the
said silms to the treasuries of the re
spective companies."

MAN TO RDN FOR MAYOR
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS FIND
ONE IN W. it. 1VIN&
Acted ns Counsel for the Fassett Legis
lative " Committee and Was a City
Chamberlain Under Mayors Hewitt
and GraceDetermined Opponent of
Tammany Hall Just Returned from
Europe.
New York, Oct. 12. William Mills
Ivins, who acted as counsel for the
Fassett legislative committee in 1892
and was a city chamberlain under
Mayors Hewitt and Grace, to-day be
came the republican candidate for
mayor of New York city when he ac
cepted the nomination made by a com
mittee appointed by the republican city
convention to fill vacancies in the nom
inations of that convention. Charles i
E. Hughes, counsel for the legislative
committee Investigating life insurance
methods, was nominated by the con
vention, but declined.
Mr. Ivins was notified formally of his !
selection late to-day and accepted in a
brief speech in which he said:
"I have just returned from Europe
and know nothing of the history of the
campaign prior to the last few days. I
have devoted many years to municipal
affairs, but had no idea of again taking
an active part in political life. Still, I
am, as I have always been, a deter
i mined opponent of Tammany Hall and
all that it stands for, and if you wish
i me to lead the fijrht for clean and effi-
cient city government I shall do so en
ergetically and fearlessly, upon the un
derstanding that I am to conduct my
campaign and that I shall, in the event
of election, be absolutely free at all
times to administer the government in
dependently of all considerations except
that of the public welfare. I regard
the nomination as an honor and shall,
at an early date, take the opportunity,
in a !letter of acceptance, to formulate
the issues as I see them and to declare
more in detail the principles which will
govern my administration if I am elect
ed." Having held office under two demo
cratic city administrations, Mr. Ivins
was asked to-day if he was a republi
can or democrat in national politics.
He laughed and replied:
"I have always voted the republican
ticket, except on three occasions when
I voted fbr Hewitt, Grace and Cleve
land. I have been an enrolled republi
can for several years now, but have
not taken an active part in politics for
some time, except to vote straight and
now and then give a campaign con
tribution." JUDGE BAKER READY.
Prepared to Sustain His Action at Any
Time
Chicago, Oct. 12. United States
Judge Baker made the following state
ment to-day in respect to a statement
yesterday by the civil service commis
sion. "Until I saw the notice in the public
press I was not aware that any
charges against me had been made or
weire toeing considered by the civil ser
vice commission. It does not seem to
me desirable to indulge in a controver
sy in the newspapers concerning myi
conduct as an officer of the United
States, and I do not wish to make any
statement further than to say that I
have not violated the civil service act,
, and I am prepared to sustain my action
! at all times in case1 I am called upon
to do so."

and His Suite Enthusiastically Re
ceived by the Populace Mayor of
Tokio Declares Himself Honored to
Receive Admiral of Savy With Such
Brilliant Histosy Thousand British
Marines Enjoy Hospitality of Japan
ese Capital.
Tokio, Oct. 12 Vice Admiral Sir Ger
ard Henry Neol, commanding the Brit
ish squadron now at Yokohama, ac
companied by a numerous suite, arrived
here to-day by special train from Yo
kohama and wa9 received at the rail
road station by a large number of offi
cials. After an exchange of greetings
the British admiral and his party en
tered imperial carriagese and were
driven through the streets lined by
thousands to Mibiya park, where the
mayor of Tokio gave a garden party In
(honor of the distinguished visitors. ,
The streets were decorated with flags
and flowers to an extent which recalled
therejoieings over the Japanese victor
ies during the Russian war, the differ
ence to-day being that the British
union jack was every where in evi
dence. The feeling of depression of the
last few weeks had completely disap
peared and had bysn replaced by buoy
ant good humor among the crowds. '
The special train with Admiral Noel
and his staff captains arrived at the
Station at 11 o'clock. They were mot
by, distinguished officers of the navy
and army and others who were drawn
up n line on the platform. Those pres
ent included the Marquis Ito, president
of the privy council, and the cabinet
ministers. After an exchange of greet
ings Admiral Noel and his party enter
ed imperial carriages and were driven
to Hibiya park, through streets lined
by choering thousands. The admiral
bowed right and left In reply to the
ovations until the entrance of Hibiya
park was reached. There a magnifi
cent triumphal arch with "welcome"
emblazoned with yellow chrysanthemums-on
a 'green background had been
erected: The park was packed with the
guests who had .been invited to attend
the- mayor's garden party. Among the
high official present at the party was
Prince Tokugawa, president of the
house of peers, who studied In Eng
land years ago.
The programme to-day included, fire
works, fencing, jiu jitsu and wrestling.
Many bands played continously during
the athletic exercises.
Prior to the commencement of the
programme the mayor delivered a
speech of welcome. He said he was
honored to receive an admiral of a
navy with such a brilliant history arid
belonging to a country which Japan
was proud to call her ally in guarding
the peace of the Orient.
Admiral Noel replied briefly. Both
speeches w?re enthusiastically ap
plauded. This ceremony was followed? by a
luncheon and the regular programme of
athletic sports.
During the day about 1,000 British
sailors and marines arrived here and
were everywhere treated with the
greatest friendship. While some of
them remained in the park to watch
the trials of strength and skill, others,
attended by guides and interpreters,
walked or drove through the streets
and enjoyed themselves sightseeing.
The presence of a British sailor meant
open sesame everywhere. The street
cars were free to them and special dis
counts were allowed them at all shops.
Tha whole 'population of Tokio turn
ed out to greet the visitors. Such a wel
come of foreign visitors and such hap
py crowds in the streets had never been
'seen in Tokio.
A dinner attended by 100 British of
ficers was given at the Maple club to
night. The dinner, which was served
by Japanese girts, daintily costumed,
was followed by an informal dance.
The town to-night is brilliantly illum
inated.' CANVASS OF VOTE.

while the home team failed to tally.
The series now stands two, to one in
favor of New York. Mathewson pitch

singles the same number of lits they
made off him on Monday. Only one'
home player, reached , second base
Coakley, the former Holy Cross college
pitcher, received poor V support, the
American leaguers - putting up one of
the worst -exhibitions of fielding they
have been guilty of. this year on the
home grounds. Murphy, -was the chief
offender. He fumbled three grounders
at critical moments and Hartsel drop
ped a fly ball. The usual good head
work of the home players was missing.
New York played an easy game.
New York started off with a rush in
the first inning. Bresnahan wat hit by
the third hall pitched. Browne fouled
out to Lt- Cross, who held Bresnahan
oh first. Donlln singled, Bresnahan
going to third. McGann also singled,

for' four balls, filling the bases. Dev

threw McGann out at the plate, and
Schreck made a quick throw to first,
heading off Devlin, completing a double
play.
.. Excepting a muff by Hartsel of Mc
Gann's fly in the third inning, the New
Yorkers went out in order in the sec
ond, third and fourth innings. The
fifth inning was a distressing affair for
the home rooters. Mathewson went
out on an easy grounder to M. Cross.
Bresnahan was given a base on balls.
Murphy fumbled Browne's grounder,
Bresnahan going to third and Browne
taking second on the throw to catch

which play Donlin scored, and a mo
ment later Dahlen stole second while
Coakley held the ball. McGann scored
the fourth run of the inning on Dev
lin's single, Dahlen going to third. The
Philadelphians' signals went wrong as
Devlin stole second and Dahlen slid
across the plate with the fifth run.
Gilbert wound up the inning by sending
a fly to Lord. ' .
Powers relieved Schreck behind the
bat in the sixth inning and in the sev

EXCLUSION CF THE
UNITARIAN CHURCH
WHY NOT ADMITTED TO THE
INTER-CH&RCH CON
FERENCE. Correspondence Relative to the Discus
sion Made Public Regard for Ed
ward Everett Hale, John D. Long and
Dr. Samuel A. Eliot Acknowledged
but the Church Is Barred Because
it Does Xot Believe in Supreme Head
ship of Jesus Christ.
New York, Oct. 12. At a meeting of
the executive committee of the inter
church conference on federation in this
city to-day It was decided to make
publio the correspondence out of which
has grown the discussion on the sub
ject of the exclusion of the Unitarian
denomination from the conference. The-inter-church
conference will be held in
this city in November. The American
Unitarian association, the national or
ganization of the denomination elected
three delegates to attend the confer
ence, namely, Rev. Dr. Edward Ever
ett. Hale, chaplain of the United States
senate; ex-Secretary-of the Navy John
D. Long of Massachusetts, and Dr.
Samuel A. Eliot, who is a son of Pres
ident Eliot of Harvard.
Members of the executive committee
which was presided over by Rev. W. H.
Roberts of Philadelphia, declared, the
original letter of jnvitation was not
sent to the Unitarians, nor to the Uni
versalists nor Roman Catholics. Nei
ther of the latter two denominations, it
was asserted, has taken any action in
the matter.
The correspondence given out in
cludes the original letter of invitation
and the text of letters exchanged be
tween Dr. .Eliot of tha Proposed Unita
rian delegation and Dr. E. B. Sanford,
secretary of the National Federation of
Churches, , who is acting for the inter
church conference. Dr. Eliot said that
as the, Free Christian churches were
lnculded'ln the membership of the state
federations of Massachusetts and
RhodVj Island, the Unitarians had as
sumed the general invitation to the inter-church
conference Included that de
nomination. During the summer, how
ever, he had learned the Unitarians
might not tB welcomed and he wrote to
ask If these mors had any foundation.
Dr. Eliot declared . it was impossible
for him to believe that the coming con
ference would, include the; representa
tives of churches that stand especially
for the unsectarian principle in Ameri
can religious life. Dr. Eliot called at
tention to thS personnel of the Unitar
ian delegation,, saying that ex-Secretary
Long and Dr. Hale were' among
the most beloved and trusted of "Chris
tian leaders. '
Replying to this letter Secretary San
ford wrote: '
"The committee of correspondence!
felt constrained to limit to some extent
the sending out of invitations to de
nominational bodies asking them to ap
point delegates to the coming inter
church conference on federation. This
action was taken after very serious
considera tion, and I am confident that
the committee would decline to re-open
the discussion of the matter. I need
scarcely add that this decision was 1n
no way personal '
"Surely therokre few persons in our
American life whom we all delight to
honor more than those you mentinon.
Your regret cannot be more sincere
than that of the committee on corre
spondence that the way did not seem
clear to invite your national associa
tion to appoint delegates to the confer
ence." It was stated to-day that the letter
of Dr. Sanford had been formally ap
proved by the executive committee. Dr.
Roberts made the following statement
about the matter: ,
"The invitations to the, conference
were Issued to churches which it was
felt were in sufficient agreement with
another to, psoure efficient results in the
line of federation. The Unitarian
chrches were 6mltted from the limit.
The work of issuing the invitations and
organizing the conference has been un
der way for two ysars. There is no
purpose to antagonize any church, but
to bring together for the discussion of
plans of co-operation such churches aa
are now in close. Christian fellowship
and for the attainment of great moral
and spiritual ends. The conference rep
resents 18,000,000 communicants and at
least 50,000,000 of aifherents of the dis
tinctly protestat and evangelical group
of Christian churches. Unitarians do
not belong to this group. This is suf
ficient reason why they were not in
vited. We respect highly the gentle
men appointed by the Unitarians as
delegates, but do hot feel that their
presence in the conference would be
helpful t othe interests involved.
"There is no controversy over the
matter in fact it is a, source of real
grief to us that such a difference should
arise. If thera were to be merely a
conference to discuss certain humani
come these gentlement, whom we all
come these gentlemen, who mwe all
honor. But this is not a mere human
itarian conference. It is a conference
of evangelical churches which all ac
knowledge the supreme headship of
Jcsu Christ. This is not a movement
to unite all churches whatsoever, but
merely to form a federation for certain
purposes of the evangelical churches
that acknowledge that supreme head
ship. The Unitarian church is not such
a church."
