liVESTICATORS
LIE REPORT
New York Legislative Com
mittee Roasts the Big
Insurance Companies.
Legislation 8uggeste and Enactment
of Laws Recommended to Control
Operation of Companies and
Curb Official.
New York. The committee ap
pointed at the Inst session of the New
Tork legislature to Investigate life in
surance made its report Thursday.
The report Is extremely voluminous.
extending to 319 printed pages. It em
braces a long review of the testimony
taken by the committee, and its rec
ommendations and conclusions as to
remedial legislation. In addition
there is a chapter devoted to the state
insurance department, in which the
committee declares It would seem the
superintendent of the department has
had ample power to ascertain the
transactions of insurance companies,
but the supervision by the department
has not proved a sufficient protection
against extravagance and maladmin
istration. Instances are given of re
ports made on the affairs of the Mu
tual Life Insurance company, the New
Tork Life and the Equitable Life As
surance society, In which nothing was
brought out to show the conditions de
veloped In the testimony given before
the committee. No substantial ampli
fication of the powers of the depart
ment seems necessary, according to
the committee, which holds that most
of the evils which have been dis
closed would have been impossible
had there been a vigorous perform
ance of the duties already laid upon
the Insurance department.
The remedial legislation recom
mended by the committee provides for
the safeguarding of the rights of
policy holders in mutual companies in
the election of directors; recommends
that stock companies be given au
thority to retire their stock and be
come mutual companies In the election
of directors; recommends that stock
companies be given authority to re
tire their stock and become mutual
companies; that such mutuallzatlon
shall not be compulsory. A recom
mendation is made limiting new busi
ness to $150,000,000 a year. Lobbying
Is condemned; the committee favors
the prohibition of contributions by in
surance companies for political pur
poses. The wisdom of economical
management is urged, but the commit
tee does not doom it advisable that
the legislature should attempt to pre
scribe the expenditures of Insurance
companies.
Further recommendations are made
on the valuation of policies, surren
der values, surplus, forms of policies,
and publicity of all faVts pertaining
to a company's business.. An amend
ment to the penal code is recommend
ed to provide that the person receiv
ing a rebate should be equally guilty
with the one who gives It.
In Its detailed report of the Investi
gation, the committee says the acts of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
should be thoroughly examined In or
der that the extent to which moneys
have. been misapplied and the respon
sibility for such may bw shown and de
termined. Concerning the New Tork Like com
pany the committee found that its
transactions with Andrew Hamilton
showed extraordinary abuses and that
lhi statement pent from Parte by
Hamilton was without suitable speci
fications.
In taking up the Equitable Life As
surance society the committee tells of
the dissensions last February which
resulted In the reorganization of that
society and in the disclosures which
brought about this grave inquiry
The syndicate operations of the
Equitable and James H. Hyde and the
relations between me society and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. as brought out in
testimony before the committee are
referred to as is the $50,000,000 Union
Pacific pool under the manage
ment of E. H. Harrlman, Jacob H.
Seh iff and James Stillman. Participa
tion In this pool by the Equitable, the
committee holds, was clearly an im
proper transaction for an insurance
company.

as to our army and navy, for trouble
In the Orient. He declared that any

Incidentally . Mr. Hull pronounced
Minister Rockhlll gul'ty of an indis
cretion In Indicating 3 Chinese offi
cials that the United States Intended
returning the 20,000,000 sterling

the Chinese as an Indication that the
United State was afraid rather than
liberal.
Mr. Hull scouted the Idea that Ja

said, were identical with those of the

which they could be maintained.

Mr. Garfield today on the stand de
clared that be had never made such a
statement. He also denied that he

Armour to allow the Inspection of thei'
books and plants, told him that h
would consider an Inspection by a fed

an advantage than otherwise to th

He declared that Mr. Kraufhofi
asked what would be done with the In
formation given by the packers, and
was Informed by the witness that II

Expedition to Arctic
in Scientific Interests
Leffingweli and Mikkelsen's expe

undiscovered lands and for the pur
poses of study of geography, geology
and other fields of scientific interest
is expected by professors at the Uni
versity of Chicago to result in more
real benefit to science than a dash
in search of the north pole. Both
men have figured on trips to find the
pole and believe that undertaking is
unattainable.
Among the various things which
Leffingweli and Mikkelsen will at
tempt to study are the history of the
Eskimos, the geography of the frozen
north, the hydrography, meteorology,
and the temperature and climatic
conditions of the new lands.
"Our trip Is in the interests of sci

to go north merely for the purpose
ot planting the American flag on an
unknown land," said Ernest D. Lef

of land there which any one could
have and which to my knowledge is
not of much money value.

Effect of Forest on River.
At the recent meeting ot the Inter

Doom of the Luncheon.
When you go for a long tramp do
not bother to take a lunch with you.
Just put half a dozen lumps of sugar
In your pocket and eat them when you
get. tired and hungry. You will at
once find your strength and freshness
renewed. This is what Dr. Lee, pro
fessor of physiology at Columbia uni
versity, and author of several Import
ant works on the vital processes of
life, firmly asserts. Fatigue, according
to Prof. Lee, Is a result of certain
chemical changes in the body, due to
muscular exertion. Sugar, taken Inter
nally, arrests and prevents these
changes. The sugar, to be specific,
replenishes the carbohydrates that are
wasted by exertion and causes the
fatigue due to this waste to disappear.

vice of a friend, I began to nse Dr.
Williams' Piuk Pills. At that time I
wasn't able to do anything and could
barely eat euongh to keep alive. I felt
a chauge for the better in a boot a month.
I began to eat heartily and I suffered
less pain. Of coarse I kept on the
treatment, using care iu my diet, and
in about three mouths I was cured. I
am entirely well today and do all my
own work."

Ever Hear of "Scotty" and HI Record
Breaking Ride?
The story, briefly told, is this: Wal
ter Scott, the Death Valley gold miner,
made the trip from Los Angeles to
Chicago last summer on a special
train over the "Santa Fe" in less than
45 hour. That whirlwind train cost
htm more than $6,000. It waa the
fastest long distance fun over moun
tains and plains ever made on any
American railway. It demonstrated
beyond dispute that the Santa Fe
track, equipment and employees are ot
the dependable kind. Probably you
wouldn't care to ride so fast. You pre
fer the luxury of our three trains from
Utah and Colorado to Everywhere
East and Southwest.
