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

FALSE RUMOR
To correct a false ruinor the undersigned
wishes to announce that the business of the
Maul I'ndtrtaklng Co, Is not discontinued
tut la dow located at 1517 Capitol Av.
", Mrs. If. 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

bv the necessary vote at last fall's election.
The committee made an Investigation ana
,M the loss to the city will ne smnu in
view of a new bond Issue and the final con
struction of the house. Inasmuch as no
money Is available to pay accounts,
a resolution was adopted authorizing the
attorney to confess Judgments for them.

keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy
Is so widely known and so altogether good

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.

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.
It's an outrage to let your skin suffer
without help, when burned or wounded.
