SLICK MEASURE SLIDES THROUGH PROBE AT ALBANY SCRAPES GREASE FROM BILL State Senator, Lawyer, Lobbyist and Others Well Cared for, and Leg. islation Went Ahead with Dizzy Speed [Associated Press] -„.» NEW YORK, March HO.— new name came Into the fire Insurance Investiga tion today and another striking exam ple was developed of the speed with which legislation went through the mills at Albany when the wheels were well greased. Superintendent Hotchkiss gave out tonight the parentage and Birth of the American Bond and Mortgage Guaran tee company, which later became tho International Hanking and Trust com pany, on 100 shares of which (par value $15,000), William 11. Buckley, formerly legislative agent for fire In surance companies at Albany, was able to borrow $13,000 from the Phenlx In surance company (tire) of Brooklyn. The parent company, the American Bond and Mortgage company, was promoted by Stewart Browne, a priv ate banker of New York city, , and Incorporated In 1899 by five Incon spicuous peraoni of whom little Is kn(/wn, save that one of them was a clerk In the office of Edward McCalli "brother of the late president of tho New York Life Insurance company, nnd now I Justice of the supremo court of New York. The five Incorpor ntors were Ensign O. Beale, Daniel E. Lynch, John Fart-ell, William S. Wad <!>• ml John H. McOrnhon. The bill of Incorporation ivas Intro duced In the legislature by Senator Ix>u!s F. Goodell, Who represented Orange county from 1899 to 1906. The book* of the company show Senator Ooodell received 100 shares from Stew itrt Browne, and they aro recorded as paid for In full. .Senator Ooodell snid over tlie tele- phone tonight: "I remember T had 100 shares. I got rid of them quick." He said lie could not recall why ho Introduced the bill, nor did he remem ber the charter. "I suppose," he Bald, "that some of my friends from New York or Port •l<r\ is must have naked me to." The" charter was an extraordinary document. It conferred on tho com pany power to do almost anything; from conducting a pawnshop to estab lishing a storage warehouse. The bill whs Introduced by Senator Ooodell and It went into the committee mi nil on, stayed there one day, was re vorieil out favorably and advanced at a dizzy pace. Its progress in the as sembly was equally rapid and smooth nix] In the closing days of the session th» bill became law. Senator Goodell was not the only one to whom shares were Riven. William 11. Buckley wag alloted 100 shares, oh was Justice McCall, then a practicing lawyer. Tho company's books also Hhow on May 15. 1899, McCall received 12000, and on June 19, 1899, $13,000 for legal fee.x. making a total of JIB,OOO equal to the par value of his 100 shares, Which, a -cording to the records, ho paid for, an did Buckley. Browne was positive tonight tho Bums had not been paid Justice McCall, after the company was incorporated, for legal services. Any thought that the further course. of the Investigation Is to bo merely tin threshing out of old straw was dispelled by the announcement from tin office of Superintendent Hotchklss tonight that he ha« sent out a. request to the presidents of forty odd American fire Insurance companies and to the American manager* of foreign com panies to produce records that show in any way what sums they have paid to legislative agents and to what agents these sums went.

Furthermore th« Chicago club will not bo allowed to trade, sell or relcaie Kllng for one season, nor will It be permit ted to pay Kllng's fine, directly, or Indirectly, under a "severe penalty." Kling was lined not for his failure to report to the Chicago club, nor tor the violation of his contract, but solely for his connection with the Missouri Athletic club semi-profes sional team of Kansas City and his playing with and against ineligible players during tho time he was with that club. Kllng will also be required, to carry out the terms of his original contract, which still has one more season to run. This called tor ii Hilary of 14000 a year.
