BIG SENSATION EVEKY DAY
WEEK OF STARTLING DISCLOS
URES THAT HAS STIRRED
THE COUNTRY.
^Jew Yojk, Oct. 8—Closing a week,
every day of which has produced a^
sensation that has stirred the country,
the special legislative committee in
vestigating the methods of insurance
companies adjourned yesterday until
Tuesday of next week.
While other weeks of the hearing
have had sensations, no previous week
has had a sensation every day as the
one that was concluded with yester
day's session. It w expected the
president of the Mutu i! Life would be
called to the stand yesterday, but by
a misunderstanding President Mc
Curdy had left the office of the Mutual
Life before he was called for, and it
is expected that he will be the first
witness on Tuesday.
Salaries Are Immense.
In yesterday's testimony the sen
sational development was when Mr.
Hughes demanded the pay roll of the
officers of the company. This was pro
duced and showed the salaries of these
officers since 1887. For the year 1904
President McCurdy received $150,000
two vice presidents were paid $50,000
each, a second vice pres dent $17,500,
the third vice president $10,000, and
the general manager $25,000, who this
year will receive $30,000, and the treas
urer $50,000
Robert McCurdy said he never knew
the salary of his father until yester
day, when he heard it read in the com
mittee room. He thought, however,
that there should be no limit to the
salary of such positions, because they
should be in accordance with the ac
cumulations of the company.
Great Work Great Rewards.
Earlier in the day, when Mr. McCur.
dy was on the stand. Mr. Hughes tried
to bring out why C. H. Raymond and
the partners in his firm received larger
emoluments from the company than
any other agents in the business. Mr.
McCurdy said he did not know what
Mr. Thebaud received from the busi
ness and that he had never talked
with him about his personal affairs.
He said it was a "large reward for
large achievements," and that all busi
nesses of large magnitude were built
up on that principle.
During Mr. McCurdy'r. testimony It.
was brought, out. that George Ray
mond, a brother of Charles H. Ray
mond, was the general agent for New
Jersey, that Howard Lewis, the gen
eral agent for Northern New York
•with an office in Albany,
Was a Cousin
of either the vice president, Mr. Gran
nlss, or Mrs. Granniss, that Dr. 15. J.
Moss, the medical director of the Mu
tual Life, married a sister of the pres
ident of the company, and that D.
Stuyvesant. Pilot, an inspector of risks,
is a cousin of Louis Thebaud. son-in
law of President McCurdy, and part
ner of the Raymond firm. G. W. White,
a secretary of the company, whom Mr.
McCurdy was asked about, was no
relative of any officer of the company,
but Mr. McCurdy said that "Mrs.
White was a niece of Mrs. Granniss.
wife of Vice President Granniss."
He knew none of the salaries of
these officers.

AND MANY OTHERS BADLY,

MANY FAMILIES HOMELESS
PEOPLE JUMP UP FROM DINNER
TABLES AND FLEE FOR
THEIR LIVES.
Duluth, Oct. S.—Protapt arrival of
fire fighting apparatus from Cloquet
and Scanlon saved the village of Carl
ton, on the Northern Pacific 1
oad,
from complete destruction by a fire
that began at noon yesterday. Ten
buildings
were destroyed and many
others were badly damaged,-s.o that
the loss, roughly estimated, probably
will exceed $50,000.
The fire started in what is known as
the old Pabst Brewing company build
ing( and in a short time practically
all the buildings on the main street of
the village were in flames.
The Pabst building was occupied by
six families. The fire is said to have
started from a defective chimney. The
flames spread to six nearby residences.
These were soon blazing fiercely, and
the fire continued to spread despite the
stubborn fight made by the members
of the Carlton volunteer fire depart
ment.
The citizens of Cloquet
and
Scan­
lon learned of the conflagration at
Carlton and promptly offered their
assistance. The Cloquet department
was taken intaci to
The Scene of the Fire
on a special train over the Northern
Pacific. Had it not been for the time
ly arrival of the Cloquet fire fighters
and their apparatus, Duntliy's store
and almost all the remaining buildings
in Carlton would have been destroyed.
The Scanlon department drove to
Carlton and arrived in time to be of
great assistance.
The efforts of the citizens of Carl
ton could not check the blaze-after it
Had consumed the Pabst building and
the six residences. The flames reached
out and licked at the walls of the
opera house, and every line of hose in
Carlton was brought to bear on them,
but the opera house was soon a roar
ing furnace. The seats and scenery
made food for the flames, and in a
short time the building was a mass of
charred debris.
Odd Fellows' Hall Burns.
The same fate wras shared by the
Odd Fellow's hall and the Chisholnj
saloon. G. Gunthy's stock was dam
aged by smoke and water, but the fire
fighters succeeded in saving the build
ing and checking the conflagration.
The Cloquet department arrived at
Carlton at 1 o'clock and at about 2
o'clock the fire was under control.
In the space of two hours ten build
ings had been burned and a score of
families made homeless. The loss is
total. Nothing was saved. At the
alarm of fire the tenants of the Pabst
building left their dinner tables and
fled out. of doors, and the old building
was on huge mass of flames in which
seemed but a few seconds.
Th§ occupants of the six residences
which burned had hardly more time to
get out of* the way of the onrushing
