ALMOST ELECTRocUTED
Two Employees of the Telephone Com
 pany Absorbed 2,4oo Volts.

Those who happened to be in the vicinity of Washington street and First avenue yesterday afternoon aI- most witnessed double electrocution. There was a cry of pain, a flash of fire the hissing of an angry wire. and a man waR seen struggling In a net work of wires in the top of a telephone pole on the southeast corner of the street. Another lay dazed across the top cross piece of the poles. The first man finally ceased his cry and strug gling and began descending the pole. When he reached the ground he sat in a doorway pale. nervous and at first unable to speak. He was Neil M'Ginnis. q lineman in the employ of the Sunset Telephone company. The other man was Foreman Howes of construction in the employ of the same company.
 He began 10 move and the gatherig crowd feared that he would fall. He evidently feared so himself for he be- gan calling for a rope. One was carried up to him and fastened about his body and he slowly climbed down the pole. He was still dazed and sat or rather fell upon the curbstone and was help ed into the shade and a little later was taken 10 his room.
 His hands were somewhat burned and a thumb of M'Ginnis was badly cauterized. Howes was unable to tel what had happened. but M'Ginnis told how nearly they. had come to electro cution and how it had come about.
 They both had hold of a telephone wire which was being lowered from one arm of the cross piece to a lower cne- Other workmen on all the adja- cent poles were. lowering the same wire at the same time.

charter and is licensed under it," he
said, "and the attorney general advises
me that there is nothing in the conten-

because it states that it will not do
insurance business.
Il have not yet received from the
company any such letter as was pub

IF you were not satisfied that we had
compiled with the provisions of this
Act at the time you issued us a Ger
tificate OF Authority, then you have
violated the law yourself which action
on your part is liable to cause us great
injury, damages and expense, and we
hereby notify you that any action by
you or the Insurance Commissioner Of
ficially or otherwise is liable to injure
our company and that we will hold you
responsible for any damages you may
cause our company to sustain"
In reply to this Commissioner Smith
les says that he granted the license in
question on the filed and sworn state
ments of the company itself, which he
now regards as far from the truth.
AS far as Commissioner Smithies is
concerned, the company will not be al
lowed to do any new business in the
insuring line until it has made satisfac-
tory showing of assets.
