GRAVE CHARGES MADE
AGAINST OFFICERS OF THE
HARTFORD LIFE
Commissioner Belts Has All Conf
dence in Men Now in Charge Of
Company Affairs

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. 7.-Commis-
sioner of Insurance Frederick A. Belts
will make public tomorrow the result of
his Investigations on the National Life
association of this city, the outcome of
which was the resignation of President
Fletcher and Director Wilbur, the vol
untary resignation of H. T. Braman, the
secretary and the reorganizer of the
company. According to the report of the
commissioner, it became apparent in the
early stages of the investigation that the
officers of the association attempted in
many ways to mislead the insurance de-
partment and the general public. The
chief points of deception were:
The suppression of death claims at the
end of the year
Reporting to the insurance depart
ments amounts as payments to benef-
ciaries, when, in reality, these amounts
included payments to other people.
Retaining upon the books of the asso-
citation several millions of insurance
which the officers knew to have elapsed
or not been taken during the years 1893
96 inclusive.
Reporting death claims paid when in
realty lHey were NOT palu lot some
months afterwards.
In settling death claims methods had
been used to induce beneficiaries to ac-
cept less than the amounts due them.
The report also gives detailed state
ment from the books of the association
which showed the many discrepancies
showed by the commissioner.
Following the resignation of President
Fletcher, Secretary Braman and Direc-
tor Wilbur, the report says: "In accept
ing these designations the association
dispensed with the services of officers
whose methods, if continued, would have
brought ruin and disaster to the inter-
ests of the policy holders.''
Commissioner Belts, in concluding his
report, says: Il have the utmost conf
dence in the men now in charge"
Stephen Ballo, who was elected presi-
dent last Thursday, will assume the du-
ties of the position tomorrow.

THE ENGLISH MARKET
Money Somewhat Easier-Business
Generally Is Dull


LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE money market
is easier, but not to any extent. 1t is ex-
pected that only a portion Of the loans
due at the Bank Of England will be re-
paid, and on the side Of the supplies
are unusually small. Discount rates
cannot fall while money continues
scarce. The gold demand for the con-
tinent is strong and there are reports
that gold will soon be sent to India. For
that reason rates are, likely to remain at
their present level. In stocks, business
is only moderate, movements are irreg-
ular and there is nothing at all doing
in home railways. The uncertainty as
to Cuba, the victory of Tammany Hall
in the municipal election in New York
and professional selling have all tended
to depress American securities, which
went down from 2 to points last week.
The recent rise in wheat left the mar
ket weak and when realizations COM
menced prices fell. There is a dispo-
sition to await President McKinley's
message to congress before buying.
Prices yesterday, however, did not re-
fleet the falling off in New York. North
ern Pacific ordinarily rose u and North
ern Pacific preferred %. Grand Trunk
railway shares kept hard through the
week because of the good prospects of
the road. The mining market was ex-
tremely quiet.
