A WONDERFUL RECORD.
Prest. McCaIl's Twelfth Anniversary
Is Notably Celebrated.

New York, Feb. Fifty three mil
lion dollars OF new insurance policies
In the first six weeks of the year Is
the astonishing highwater record an
rOunced by one of the foremost life in
surance companies. The announce
ment was made yesterday on the oC-
casion of the celebration OF the tenth
anniversary OF the election of Hon.
John A. Mccall TO the presidency OF the
New York Life Insurance company,
Insurance men and iinancers admit
that this is one of the strongest in
dlcations Of the general prosperity of
the country that has been presented
since the dawn Of the new year. Presl-
dent Mccall is being showered with
kilograms and letters Of congratula-
ton from officials and agents of the
New York Life all over the land In
his report made at the beginning Of the
year Mr. Mccall foreshadowed the era
of insurance activity now prevalent
He insisted that the old style OF man
agement which was disposed TO Quib-
bic over the settlement of claims and
which denied the right OF the insured
20 loans and surrender values on de-
mand must give way to more liberal
ideas and also that an open record Of
all transactions Of the year should be
furnished annually to the insured. II
was hardly anticipated, however, that
the response would be so spontaneous
or OF such dimensions. Fifty-three
million dollars is more new business
than many OF the larger companies
have hitherto been able to write In the
course Of twelve months Should the
present rate of new Insurance keep up
for the year. the New York Life will
secure S3OO,OOO,OOO In new paid-for poll
ties, figure so far in advance Of any
thing hitherto achieved that there Is
no opportunity for comparison.

ESCAPE CREMATION

There was lively scene at police
headquarters this morning about $3.50
o'clock, and for a few minutes officers
and prisoners expected 20 see the com.
plete destruction Of the old jail, by fire,
Fortunately-or perhaps unfortunately
the blaze was discovered IN time and
was quickly extlngulshed by the IRE
men.
The fire started IN the roof and was
caused by a drum and the stoyepipe
upstairs and running along the celIlng
becoming oycrheated by the burnns
of SCOT, which had been accommodating
for many weeks, The fire was not dis
covered until smoke was noticed pour
ing out of the roof Sergeant Burbldge,
Jailer Kimball and several officers Saw
the smoke and an alarm was quickly
sent to the fire department In few
seconds, ladders were raised TO the top
Of the old bastile and a number Of
buckets of water and chemicals put out
the blaze.
Jaier Kimball lost no time in remoy,
Ing the prisoners from the upper 10 thu
lower part Of the Jail, All We're perfect

When told the place was on fire Murte

Washington, Feb. l2.-When the sem
ate convened today Mr.. Turner Of
Washington, presented memorial
from the National Antitrust League
enumerating certain trusts and COM
hnatlons which the memorial sets forth
we're operating In conflict with the
Sherman antitrust law He said the
petition stated that the existence Of
these so.caled trusts had been called
to the attention Of The attorney general
Of the United states with a request
that the machinery of the government
be set IN motion with the view of des-
tructon Of the trusts, but thus far
nothing had been done. The petition
prayed that Congress take action In
vindication of its law.
Mr.. Turner said the memorial con-
tanned also some allegations against the
present Encouragement and his lm-
mediate predecessor but he did not wish
70 be understood as fathering the
charges.
He asked that the memorial be print
cd In The Congressional Record but Mr..
Gallinger New Hampshire, objected
and its printing was not ordered.
In presenting petition for congress
sional relief pl cottongrowers from the
cotton weayil, Mr., Culberson, Of Texas,
said that the boil weavll had destroyed
100000 bales OF cotton In Texas alone
during the past year and ON account
Of the rayages Of the pest grave appre-
henslon is felt for the cultivation Of
cotton in central and southern Texas.
