various funds Of the State where they are de
posted, their mar cement, and so forth. The time
for calling the committee together has not yet been
determined.
Senator Grady obtained leave for his committee
to continue its Investigation of the Department of
Public Works aud the Police Department. So far
no attempt has been made to investigate the Police
Department. Randolph b. MARITIME, whom the
Mayor nominated as successor to Police Commits
soner Nichols, is hopeful Of his confirmation at an
early date. Should this take place it is generally
believed that Senator Grady Will begin his Invcsti-
cation at once. The inves igation of the Public
Works Department will begin some time next
month.
One Of the most important investigations to be
conducted by q Senate committee is that of nsol-
vent corporations by the Insurance Committee, of
which John j. Herman is chairman. This commit
tee authorized 10 begin lis Work during the last
session OF the Legislature, before the special COM
mittce of the Assembly was appointed. 1t Investl-
gated the North American Lille and one or TWO other
companies. but did not make report. ne As
sembly Committee. for want Qf faith III the good
intentions OF the Senate Committee. went over the
same ground, and found ample material upon which
to fOund report.
A TRIBUNE reporter asked Senator Kernan last
week when ne would call his committee together
shall call ii together before long," was the re-
ply, " but not at any OF the watering places"
hat company will Won investigate hrst r
The Ere Railroad Company and the manage-
ment of its rrce yeTshp under Alr. Jewett. There
some matters that need eXpianati there"
WHAT company will YOU noAt take up y
THE Long Island Railroad Company We de-
sire to know all ABOUT the management or ITS re-
ccIvcrshIp under Mr.. CorDln.'
Any other company in vcwW
d" Yes, "A good many We shall next investigate
the Ncw-lor Life Insurance Company"
But the general belief Is that your committee
was only authorized to investigate such corpora
tIOns as lay have been III the hands of a receiver
within five years. Certainly tnc New-1 Ork Lie
Insurance Company would not come under that
head.V
THAT is a mistake We were authorized to n-
vestgatc any corporation against which complaints
are made. We nave received such complaints
against the New-iOrk Lie insurance Company
and though | do not regard them as very Emporium
yet ii is our business to take cOgnZlnce OF them"
