BIG LEAK IN ADVERTISING ACCOUNT Aetaarr MeCllntoek Snye that le crease la Dtvldende Is ! to Falling OS la the Rate f Interest. NEW TORK. Oct. Zi At the session of tha legislative committee Investigating the Insurance companies, the affairs of the Mutual Life Insurance company were under consideration and It was brought cut that this company was paying for the dissemi nation throughout the country of reports j of this Investigation that wore favorable u the company. Charles J. Smith, a news paper man, was the witness. He Is em ployed by the Mutual Life Insurance com pany to do a large number of things, but a month ago was placed In charge v.t send ing out these reports. Mr. Smith had vised a number of vouchers for the pay ment of this work and these aggregated 111,000. with more bills to come In. He thought the amount to date would reach tl 4.000. Mr. Smith wrote these reports and sub mitted them to Allan Forman, who owns tha Telegraphic News bureau, and Jl a line was paid by the Mutual Life for the ser vice. Clippings from various papers about the country were shown to the witness and Identified as the dispatches he wrote and sent to Mr. Forman. Those ere sent to about 100 papers, but Mr. Smith did not know whether the papers were paid for Inserting them. In one dispatch Mr. Smith wrote that Mr. McCurdy's attitude on the stand made a distinctly favorable Impression, and for this he hud to pay 11 a line. This, he said, was worth it. Deflclt In Aderllns; Account. Following Mr. Smith, Walter Sullivan, who has charge of the magazine advertising department, was called. He mid the Mutual advertised In twelve magazines last year at a cost of 42,ooo. Advertising In Insurance pnpers cost about $30,000 more, but he could nut It'll 'where the remainder of the account of JffiO.W, the amount charged up to advertising last year, was spent. i Earlier 1n the day Emory McCllntnck, the actuary of the Mutual Life, was on the aland. Tho entire early session of the day before recess, was given over to his explanations of technical Insurance. Mr. McCUntock advocated no Isws for the In surance companies except a certain super vision to give the acts of the representa tives publicity. He thought the public could take care of Itself, and that pub licity was the best law. Asked how far this view was shared in official circles, he thought he was somewhat of a missionary along that line. Mr. MeCllntock was to have been on the stand again In the afternoon session, but during recess he was seized with a slight attack of vertigo to which he Is subject. He will be called again tomorrow. Gifts to Policyholders. John B. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, was examined and when the adjournment was taken this afternoon his testimony waa un finished. While lacking the startling features of the testimony of some of the other life Insurance presidents who have testified, Mr. liegeman's remarks and explanations were none the less Interesting, especially his, statements that 1876,000 was given to the Industrial policyholders or his company last year without any obligation whatever. Mr. Hegeman further said that In eight years his company had voluntarily given to the ; policyholders M.OOO.OGO. This was In extended Insurance, . mortuary dividends and liberalized policies during epidemics, floods and fires. It waa brought out that, while the com pany .carried collateral loans throughout the year, none appeared in the annual re port" on December YL This was explained by the witness, who said that all collateral loans were transferred on the last day of the year to Vermllye & Co., the .bankers, under an agreement, and were bought back again In January. This was done, accord ing to the witness, to avoid the horde of IMPS? HALL rweet, satlsfy A4 BWUIUJg 9UiVVf ' When you find a Qual ity like It you won't And price like It Ask your tobac conist.

O, MAUL, applications for call losns from the Wall street district. Mr. Hegeman did not encourage the call loan business from this section because It entailed keeping a tlrker In his office, and lie would not have one there. He further did not tare to have his company known as a loaning company. The large loans with such a low Interest as 1'4 per cent, and especially the one to President John A. McCall, of the New York Life Insurance company, were taken up. and Mr. Hegeman spoke strongly of his friendship to Mr. McCall, who he cald. was closer than any other mun to him In Insurance business, outside of his Im mediate associates. Mr. McCall had rendered him valuable service that was of benefit to the company and personally he thought the company could afford, and would have been justified. In paying Mr. McCall the few hundreds of dollar the loans amounted to. The same was true, he said of Silas B. Dutcher, a director of ihe company, who also curried large loans with the company at low Interest. Testimony of Acinar?. Kniery McCUntock, actuary of the Mutlial Life Insurance company, was the first wit ness today before the Insurance Investigat ing committee. Mr. McKeen, of counsel to the committee, who has studied the techni cal points of Insurance, conducted the ex amination of Mr. McCUntock. Witness said he had been actuary of various companies since 1868. He became actuary of the Mut ual Life in 1889. He was president of the Acturarlal Society of America from 1896 to 1897 and has been a fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Great Britain since 1874. Mr. McCllntocK supported the statement made on the stand by John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, as to the cause leading to the many failures during the early days of Insurance In this state. The companies failed, said Mr. McCUntock, because they had nothing to support them but tha current premiums. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company, the witness continued, was on the verge of failure at one time, but managed to prosper by adopting the Industrial plan of Insurance. Why nivMenos Decrease. Mr. McCUntock said ithat there were more complaints fr.im these policyholders than from any others the company had. Sen ator Armstrong then asked why the poli cies progressively drew less dividends as tHey grew older, and Mr. MeCllntock cald that the rate of Interest thirty years ago was 6tt per cent, which waa distributed to policyholders. Twenty years ago It was 6 per cent, and It has been progres sively diminishing every year, until It was 4.3 per cent at the end of 1308. Today the company Is giving credit for 4.1 per cent, which, he said, exceeds the credit given by any savings bank. The policyholder, however, only gets what Is above 4 per cent. "The policyholders have been getting dividends for a number of years and sees them getting so small that he naturally worries," said Mr. McCUntock, "but that Interest decrease has got to happen In every company. Nevertheless he does not like It and cannot be expected to." Mr. Rogers of the committee asked: "If It dropped below 4 per cent would he owe you something?" and Mr. McCUn tock replied: "The law won't permit that." Talks of Old Rates. Mr. McCUntock said in Mutual Life's charter called for a division of profits among the policy holders every five years previous to 1896. In 1842 a dividend wss added to the policy. The next dividend of profits waa In 1863 and tbls dividend was payable at death. All the policy holder knew was that a certain amount waa added to his policy, which he was to receive at his death. In 1868 and 1863 other dividends were made. Witness was not clear as to whether they paid cash upon surrender of the policy.. ; In the sharp competition between the New York Life Insurance company and the Equitable Life Assurance society with the Mutual Life Insurance company In 1870 the Mutual offered new policy holders a 30 per cent rebate on the first year's premium. This. Mr. McCUntock said, was an open, public and avowed rebate. There was so much objection to this that In 1878 the Mutual Issued policies at a 16 per cent re duction In rates. Outstanding policy hold ers were privileged to avail themselves of the reduced rate, but wjth a reduced divi dend. Mr. McCUntock said it was one of these reruced rate policies that was under observation last week when the letter of the holder to the committee was read to Mr. McCurdy reciting a gradual reduction from S55.76 to $3 in dividends.

CITT COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Ordinance to Cltar Way for Oaa Coropaij'i Storage Plant EVANS INTRODUCE A NEW MEASURE tea a ell man from Math Ward Takes Steps to Repeal Law Passed to Protect Property Owners t la Sorth Knd. That the gss company isagaln prepar ing to build a gas manufacturing and storage plant on the north side Is Intimated by the Introduction of an ordinance in the council last night to repeal another ordinance passed nearly a year ago, re fusing permission for any establishments of the kind unless ugreed to by all the property owners within a large radius. The original ordinance was Introduced by Councilman Evans of tho Sixth ward. The same councilman put In the repealing law. The ordinance regulating the building of gas manufacturing and storage plants was caused by the purchase of a lot by the gas company near Twenty-second and Burdette streets and the announcement that the company was about to put In a plant to supply the north end of the town. This location Is within a short distance of Coun cilman Evan's home. He and his neigh bors were muoh agitated about the mat ter, fearing their property would be ruined, as that In the vicinity of the gas plant In the south part of town has been. Councilman Evans stated that the gas company has sold the lot at Twenty-second and Burdette streets, but further than this would give no Information. Money for Police Faad. On the recommendation of the comptrol ler and the city attorney the council trans ferred $3.4:0 more to the depleted police fund. This will enable, the restoration of ten officers to the force, leaving the de partment only eleven men short. Accord ing to the resolution tho money Is to eome from back taxes and Interest collected In the first three months of the year before the new charter took effect. The Are and police board has arranged so that the ten len can be put on duty today. The council sustained Mayor Moores' veto aaalnst placing Superintendent Noyes and Street Foreman Cowduroy of the as phalt plant on the permanent payroll for year-round Jobs. The mayor sam me cny did not have the $1,440 necessary to cover the expense and that no good reason ex isted for hiring the men during six months when asphalt repairs could not be made. City Engineer Rnsewatcr said that the su perintendent, the chemist and the engineer at the plant should be retained the year round as a matter of economy. Inasmuch as all had accepted low salaries with tha understanding that their Jobs would last thrmirh the whole yenr. He said the street n-vi.n la n aood man, nut ne naa inn. estimated his continual employment. Pay for F.nulne House Work.

IOWA ELKVKX BADLY B1PPI.ED IP Memben Have Sot Recovered from Minnesota tiara. IOWA CITY. Is.. Oct. 24.-(8peclHl Tele gram.) Peri Ine was tried out at right end tonight in the first scrimmage held since the Minnesota game. Both Knapp and Moore, who have been used In that posi tion, were unable to get Into the practice on account of Injuries. Kant and Andy Chalmers are the remaining Hawkeyes who are still under the weather. It Is not believed that either of the two last named will be able to play before the Grlnnell game, a week from Saturday. The majority of the Hawkeye squad has fully recovered from the bruises and the scrim mage tonight was one of the best In the last two weeks. Green and Tupper are being used In Chalmers' place at left half. The report that Iowa university would change the system of coaching here next season and would replace John Chalmers by alumni coaches Is entirely unfounded. The Athletic Board of Control, the student body of the university and the alumni who are acquainted with conditions here and the squad Itself are entirely satisfied with his work. The fact that he has not produced championship teams in the three years he has been here Is well understood to be due to the lack of material which has been the great weakness of the Hawk eyes for the last five years.

Mass, FUN AT TflE ORPHANS' FAIR Elki and Achstei Briag Oat tut Biggest Crowd f tbs 8eaioa. CARL REITER A WONDER AT TALKING Sideshows and Booths Heap a Harvest aa the Resalt of, Ills Eloqnenee and Everybody Haa a (iood Time. The largest crowd which has vet turned out to help along the Orphan's fair was on hand Tuesday night and Father McNamara was correspondingly happy, wearing a smile that showed to any one that there Is to be a mat balance on the right side of the ledger for the orphanage when the books are balanced at the end of the week. The fair Is Increasing in popularity with each session, and lust night brought out more men than any previous evening. The pro gram gave the announcement that It was Elks' night. Elks were everywhere and many of the booths had been decorated es pecially with the Elks' well known colors. It was also Royal Achates night. Two of our old friends, the Oldest In habitant and the Careful Observer, accom panied Carl Relter on the rounds of the various booths and they had a good guide. "These booths remind me of the Pure Food show, when we got so much to eat In the way of samples," said the Careful Ob server. "That's right," said the Oldest Inhabi tant, "and we must get us a bag to carry all of these things." So they hied them selves to the Advo booth and prevailed upon the man with the musical voice to give them a big bag for the collection of samples, and started out. Fnn In the Basement. A hullabaloo attracted their attention at the east end, near the stage, so they fol lowed the crowd, which they found was In turn following the band to the basement. Here an army of spielers was calling the multitude together with the announcement that "Ho Is going to talk." "Who's going to talk that Is so great?" asked the Careful Observer. "I don't see Billy Bryan." "Come and hear him!" cried the spieler. So they elbowed their way through the crowd to hear the man talk. And then who should be trotted out but their -old friend, Carl Relter, who had shaken them a min ute before. "Well, he can sure talk some." said the Oldest Inhabitant when Relter had finished telling a few stories and ended by Jierdlng the whole bunch Into Dave O'Brien's show until the walls threatened to break. "And did you see the way those people went Into that show when he said it was all right?" "Every one comes out a booster!" cried Relter. "And now for the next show!" and so on. The shows did a big business, the photographer was busy all of the time and Frank Furay was a busy man. For It was Elks' night. D. W. Tnte, nsslatant to Father McNamara, tried to hire Relter for the week, but the best he could get was a promise to return again. "This woman had her feet on the car seat and the conductor told her to take them off and she did, and you see she has no feet now," said Relter, and they all went in to see if she had any feet. More Fan t'pstalrs. The Oldest Inhabitant was. called upon to referee a boxing match on the stage be tween two colored lads who had to give an ixhlbltion of the manly art while encased in barrels. The game was too fast for our friend, so he gave way to the Careful Ob server, and the game went on, to the great delight of the thousands who by this time had filled several rows In the balcony. Carl Relter last night acted as announcer of the various events on the program and succeeded admirably in making himself heard in all parts of the big Auditorium. Tonight will be Eagles and Foresters' night, and another lively time will be on the program, for the Eagles are not wont to be outdone by any one. Go early and take a basket, as the man with the paper bags might run out, and then how could you carry your souvenirs home? There will be a matinee today. An Outrage.
