INQUIRY
FRUITFUL
Interesting Light on
Metropolitan
Campaign Donations and
Loans to Friends
Examination of President Hegeman
Brings Out Interesting Matter.
Investigating Committee Has
Had a Good Week
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.— Closing the
sessions of the week today the Arm
strong committee of insurance investi
gation ha« behind It a mass of details
and figures which, while of apparently
little Interest to the laity, Is of Inesti
mable value to the committee. The
greater part of the week has been de
voted to the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company, the examinations of
President Hegeman and James M.
Craig, the actuary of the company,
being of a most technical nature. When
adjournment was taken today the com
mittee had not finished the examina
tion of President liegeman and he will
be called again next week.
Just before the hour of adjournment
today Mr. Hegeman Was excused and
Joseph Howard. Jr., a writer who had
been employed by the Mutual Life,
was called to the stand. He Identified
vouchers that he had signed for money
received by writing advertisements
and reading notices for the Mutual
Life.
President John R. Hegeman of the
Metropolitan company was recalled.
Letters of complaint that policies were
paid to undertakers by industrial com
panies were read to Mr. Hegeman, and
he said that he could not say that his
company had ever made such a pay
ment.
Mr. Hegeman said his company had
made but two campaign contributions
and they, were both in 1896. One thou
sand dollars was given to the Palmer
and Buckner gold Democratic man
agers and $7500 to the national Repub
lican committee. These contributions.
Mr. Hegeman said, were made with the
approval of the finance board and were
more a moral than a political move to
assist In defeating the "16 to 1 heresy."
A statement was produced showing
that Andrew Hamilton had been un
der an annual retainer of 'slooo from
May 13, 1892, and from that date to
May 5, 1904, had received for special
services and retainers the aggregate
sum of $35,295.
Mr. Hegeman said the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company obtained
bonds for its agents from either the
American Surety company or the Na
tional Surety company. Mr. Hegeman
holds ten shares of the National. The
bond required of agents Is $750 and
the premium is recovered from the
agent by the company.
Loans at Small Rate
It was shown that the Metropolitan
made, loans of $100,000 to $200,000 at
l'/4 per cent interest to William Reade
of the firm of Vermtlye & Co. on vari
ous dates in 1901 to 1903. The market
rate for call loans was at the time
from 4% to 5 per cent. Vermllye &
Co. were the backers of the Metro
politan at that time, and when Mr.
Reade resigned from Vcrmllyo & Co.
and went Into business for himself ho
became the company's bankers. Mr.
Hegeman's explanations for making
these loans below the market rate was
that valuable services had been ren
dered the company and it sought to
repay favors where It could. Mr. Heg-e
man said that through the watchful
ness of Vermilye & Co. tho Metropoli
tan Life Insurance company has now
three or four millions which "could be
burned up without Impairing the sol
vency of the company."
On bonds and stocks the Metropoli
tan has cleared, according to Mr. Hepe
man, about $1,200,000, and on syndi
cates in which Vermilye & Co. invited
the company to participate the com
pany has made about $650,000.
, In describing the investments of the
company Mr. Hegeman said that the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company
owned 6327 out of 10,000 shares of the
National Shoe and Leather bank of this
city. No dividends are paid, as the
bank Is accumulating its surplus.
PLATT LOSES HIS SUIT

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10,-The appelate
division of the New York state su
preme court today handed down a de
cision dismissing a suit brought by
John R. Platt against Hannah Kliaa
a negress, to recover $685,000, which
Platt asserted he had given to her un
der coercion. The court stated in the
decision that it was not made on the
merits of the case.
"There are in the complaint," the de
cision reads, "many allegations of acts
on the part of Hannah Ellas which
would result necessarily in a decree
requiring her to make restitution of
what she received from the plaintiff.
The difficulty Is that none Is proved."

Minister of War Ilesigns and President Loubet

By Associated Press.
PARIS, Nov. 10.— The Rouvler min
istry met with its first check today
when M. Berteaux, minister of war,
peremptorily withdrew from the minis
terial branches during an angry de
bate in the chamber of deputies and
thereafter announced his resignation.
For a time the entire cabinet hung In
the balance, and Premier Rouvler an
nounced the readiness of himself and
his colleagues to give up power unless
they were supported by a' substantial
majority. After a debate of excep

the ministry prevailed by a vote of
310 to 147. However, the ministerial
majority Is made up of fractions of di

Gen. Morteza, Minister to Washington,
Describes the TerrlDle Conditions
In His Country — He Sees Little
Hope of Relief In the Near Future
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.— Gen. Mor
teza, the Persian minister, who arrived
here yesterday, in an Interview spoke
of the deplorable condition existing in
his country growing out of the cholera
epidemic of 1904, the failure of the crops
and the Increase in the price of the
necessities of life.
"Our country is most peculiarly and
woefully situated Just now," said Gen.
Morteza, "and there seems to be no
relief In sight. Through a series of
distressing visitations upon our peo
ple the Persians are experiencing a
panic.
"The steady increase of prices means
starvation to many, it will mean misery
to countless others, and it is with
heavy hearts that we look forward to
the suffering of this winter.
"Ordinarily, in times of crop failure,
the Persians depend upon their next
door neighbor, Russia, for wheat," Gen.
Morteza said, "but Russia's war re
sulted in exportation to Persia being
so greatly diminished that few were
able to profit by it and then only the
better classes, as the Russian war
prices were almost exorbitant. Two
thirds of Persia's commerce is with
Russia and the war crippled our in
dustries in nearly all ways. Each spring
about 150,000 of our people on the
western frontier bo into the Caucasus
to work, principally in the grain fields,
and the war and the internal disturb
ances there have paralyzed even the
agricultural pursuits, and these men
have earned no wages, practically, the
past two summers.
"The cholera has passed, the war Is
at an end, but the people are still hun
gry. Their problem is to live through
another year, trusting to providence
that their granaries may be filled next
autumn."

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.— Rear Admiral
Prince Louis of Battenburg was early
about his ship this morning, and gave
to the chief of staff some final directions
about the ball which he will give on
board the Drake Tuesday night. Short
ly after 9 o'clock the Drake weighed
anchor and started down stream, again
receiving saluteH from passing craft.
The Drake wns warped Into pier 62 of
the Cunard line at Oanscvoort market,
where she will He during the remainder
of the British squadron's visit here.
Workmen were soon aboard putting to
gether the portable ball room.
Tho chief athletic Instructor of the
Drake announced today that during the
squadron's stay here there would be a
pugilistic contest between Sailor Ktrby,
champion welterweight of the English
navy, and Sailor Collins, champion
welterweight of the United States navy.
Klrby Is a member of the crew of tho
Bedford and Collins of the crew of the

purse of $100 and a cuip offered by
Prince Louis. The cup Is now held by
Sailor Cockowyne, champion heavy
weight of the English navy, who won It
at Halifax In a contest with another
sailor of the English navy, the cup
originally having been a national prize.
It will hereafter be an International of
fering and will be contested for an
nually. Efforts are being made to have
the contest take place on shore If poß
slble, and the sailors of both squadrons
nre enthusiastic over It. Before the

other guests at this dinner Included 250
officers from the British and American
squadrons.
Prior to starting for Governor's
Island today Prince Louts, standing on
the deck of his flagship and gazing at
the city, said: .
"Any war would be disastrous to
New York — more disastrous to New
York than any other city in the world.
This Is Impressed upon me by the
tremendous amount, of bustle and
traffic that you see as you come up
the harbor. What New York wants
above all things is peace. The two
combined fleets in New York harbor
could, I think, reduce New York to
atoms In the time It takes any cook
to fry an omelette." He said that this
possibility of a besieging fleet destroy
ing New York was one of the features
of his present visit that had interested
him most.
Describing his impressions of Ameri
cans, Prince Louis said:
"I should say that District Attorney
Wm. T. Jerome's success is clearly ex
plained by his charming personality
and earnestness."
Prince Louis and five officers of the
British and American squadrons were
the guests tonight of the United States
Naval Academy Alumni association at
a banquet at Delmontco's. The hall
was decorated with the American and
British colors and music was furnished

of the prince. 1

SEOUL, Nov. 9.— The arrival of Mar
quis Ito tonight probably marks one
of the most portentous events in the
history of Korea.
During his visit the hermit king
dom, once an Independent state, will
probably become a Japanese protec

ing conditions here and formulating his
policy, will present the program of
Japan. It is said that Marquis Ito
hopes that confidence displayed in him
by the emperor of Japan will have Its
effect upon the emperor of Korea and
induce a graceful submission to the in
evitable loss of Korea's independence.
The plans of Japan will be backed by
army occupation and the presence of
two cruisers at Chemulpo.
The Korean officials and people are
anxiously awaiting the developments
of the past month, Beveral secret agents
having been dispatched to secure Amer
ican and Kuropean Intervention, the
emperor of Korea fearing, so it Is
said, to appeal directly to Marquis Ito.
Upon his arrival here Marquis Ito
was received with Imperial honors. In
the emperor's state coach he was driv
en through the troop-lined strets, Bur
rounded by Japanese and Korean cav
alry Lantern bearers followed with
chairs and rickshaws, carrying his
distinguished suite. He was lodged at
the Imperial palace as a guest.

Telegrams from interior points . report

cording to these rumors, are scheduled
to take place in St. Petersburg tonight
and In Moscow tomorrow. The appre

great that the prefect of police who
succeeded Gen. Trepoff in command of
the city police has instructed his sub-,
ordinates to take the fullest measures
to crush any uisorder in Its inclplency.

"Loyalists" of the idea that the police

Count Wltte's cabinet may now be re
