 Continuing Attorney Gregory said: This whole case is a small chapter in the history of misuse of other Deo- ple's money by a corporate interest. The courts have shown too great a solicitude to prevent embarrassment to men of hiGn finance who have abused their trust, stripping policy holders and leaving. them destitute in their old age"

Three Plans Proposed for
 European ReaIignment
FAR EASTERN TREATY
Makes it Necessary to Secure PeSi- tiOns Of Other Western Powers Than EngIand-The Diplomats are Feel of Each Other.

Paris. Oct. 4.-Chancellories here and
 throughout Europe are taking the
 keenest interest in possible and even probable formation of new European alliance consequent upon the Jermiul-
 tion of the war and the conclusion of ga closer Anglo-Japanese alliance This has advanced beyond discussion iu Jhe newspapers and has already reached the stage of discreet diplomatic sound ings.
 The various proposed rsalignmeuts of European powers are divided into Il lee main movements. first. a British
 inclination toward an accord with Rus
 sia; second, a German-R Russian move
 Anglo-Japanese alliance; and third.
 Russo-German overtures to Induce France to join the latter grouping. Great Britain's desire for a rap
 prochement with Russia has brought
 about the distinct diplomatic sugg-s-
 ton that Great Britain is ready to ziV,
 a fuller recognition to Russia's prl- vIeged position in southern Turkey. notably at Constantinople and along the BOspnorUs. Russia's ambitions Iu that direction have heretofore encouu- tered strong opposition in England The view in French official quarters Is distinctly favorable to an Anglo-Rus- sian rapprOchement. It was one uf the projects Of M. Delcasse when for eisn minister to have King Edward visit Emperor Nicholas as means fa- fLrthering the reconciliation of Russiz and Japan. Since the retirement Of sG- Delcasse this project has been in absy- ance but the officials continue favor able to the Anglo Russian entente.
 CORcermng the proposed German Russian agreement stronge elements iu both countries favor an accord as ga counterpoise to the AngIo-JapaneS- alliance. The Temps tonight prints an authorized interview with Prince vou Buelow the German imperial chanceI-- Tor at Baden-Baden, openly advocating a German Russian rapprochemeut.
 The prince says; Tt is natural zsz3 traditional that we should have t-as best relations with Russia NkE should France take umbragee We O. not take umbrage because of the. Fraz- co-Russian alliance. A system Of Fz- cific alliances would assure -tile -equiii- brium of Europe The Franco-Italilu rapprochement has an anti French character"
 In connection with French partIcIpa- tlon in Russo-German rapprochemen- It can be definitely stated that France. before considering a new alignment ur the powers, intends to await the final determination of the controversy with regard to Morocco in which country Germany first interrupted the French program Afterward France might con Fider German Ouvertures. but unfR MoroccO's future is assured the French bonds of sympathy will con unue with Russia and Great Britain

 WashingtOn-DiPlomatic Relations Resumed for a Ainute-Russias Agrees to an Exchange OT Prisoners

70 Washington, Oct. 4.-Diplomatic re- Iations between Russia and Japan were resumed at the state department for a short time today, while Baron ROsen, the Russian ambassador and MT. Ia kahira, Japanese minister, discussed the form of the ratification of the treaty by their respective countries. The call was made by appointment at the request of MT. Takahira, who de- sired to see the Russian form of ratifi- cation.
 Accordingly. Secretary Root sent for Mir. Smith. chief of the diplomatic bureau of the state department, who brought to the diplomatic room q copy of the Russian extradition treaty, which gave MT. Takahira the informa- tiOn he desired. The envoys remained for few minutes in conversation with Secretary Root without further ex- changes They bowed pleasantly as they parted outside the diplomatic room.
 Notifications of the treaty of Ports mouth will be exchanged at Washing ton between Baron Rosen and Mir. Ia kahira, as soon as these important documents are received from St. Pe- tersburg and Tokio. The notifications will contain the French and English texts of the treaty.
 The approval of the treaty by the privy council at Tokio in effect ratifies the convention and it is expected that the formality of the emperor's signature will follow shortly. As the treaty be- comes effective as soon as ratified the exchange of notifications is only a formality.
 Japan will be ready to exchange as soon as the emperor's signature is af- fixed as the formal ratification can be prepared and delivered at the legation here. It is not believed that the Rus sian ratification will long be delayed

 Life Relations
A CLOSE CONNECTION
President n'Can on the Subject of the Hamilton Payment Described Life Insurance Companies Terror ofEaTIy Legislative Sessions.

New York. Oct. 4.-That John R. Heggeman of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. borrowed $5O.OOO from the New York Life Insurance company ct 2 half per cent interest, q rate below the market rate, was brought out in the insurance investiga- lion last week; but today President John A. Mccall of the New York Life testified that he in turn borrowed ST5. 900 from the Metropolitan at the same rate. This was in January. 1903 ike loan was renewed in January. 1904 and ran until March, 1905, when the rate of interest was advanced to , per cent at which rate it is still running Mccall testified that he was director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. but not a stOckhOlder. The fact of his being a director. Mccall, continued did not deter him from pro curing q loan at as low rate of in terest as possible when 1t was to his interest to do so.
 Somewhat of a sensation was caused in the late hours of tOday's session of the legislative. committee, which is in- vestigating the methods of life insur- ance companies, when V. F. Towner of Albany. was called to the stand and disclaimed any knowledge of the WheTeaDOuI or the cancelled cneckS or Judge Andrew Hamilton of Albany. Towner testified that he was assOciat- ed with Judge Hamilton in the practice of law in Albany. The Hamilton ac- count was again under investigation and MT. Mccall had been excused for a few minutes while MT. Towner took the stand.
 Towner testified that he made de- 11osits for Judge Hamilton, but, not while the latter was in Europe. He had taken some cancelled cnecks from the Albany Trust company early in September and had thrown them into a drawer in Judge Hamilton's desk. He had no OcasiOn to look at them again until last week, when he received the subpoenae to appear before the committee. He was asked to bring these checks with him. but wnen he looked for them they were gone. He had no knowledge, he declared of where they could have gone or who could have taken them. Pressed by NIT. Hughes ne said almost anybody had access to the drawer in which the checks were placed. Mccall, resuming was asked about a deposit to the credit of Judge HamiI- ton of S162,041 on Sept, ], 1905. Mr Mccall said the New York Life h. surance company had paid MT.

curing the repeal of the tax law which relieved the New York Life from the payment of taxes. Judge Hamilton was to have one third of the amount that would rebate to the company sum of $272. GOO netting MT. Hamilton about :9O,00O.
 Another interesting point was brought out by MT. Hughes just before the committee adjourned for the day. Edward DeVlin. Nreal estate manager for the New York Life was again call ed to continue his testimony of last week relative to the real estate values of the company's properties in this country and abroad. Devlin had to consult records, and he presented number of transcripts of records.
 It developed that the New York Life mad acquired by foreclosure an apart ment hOusein the most desirable resi- dential section. of this city, and the cost, with the improvements deemed necessary. was $2O3.O55. The net in come from this property was found to be 23 per cent on the investment. Among improvements was the throw ing of two apartments into one of nine rooms with two baths. These were rented for $500 and s1,SOO a year. It then developed that four of the ten ants were the immediate family of President Mccall. three sons and a son-inlaw. Devlin was asked who fix. ed the rental of this property and he said he had discussed it with Mccall.
 Mccall enlivened the days proceed ings further when he said that there was no record on the books of the New York Life of $15OOOO paid the repub- hcan national committee for contribu- uons for presidential campaigns. While he had no personal knowledge that the money was poid. he assumed 1t was. because he had told the treasurer to make these payments.
 Earlier in the day Mccall, in de- tailing the general legislative work of Judge Hamilton and the counsel he employed, denied any knowledge of the legislative pool which was disclosed in the examination of Alfred w. Maine. auditor of the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society last week Mccall on this question made the startling assertion that three quarters of the bills affect ing life Insurance companies were iu the nature of blackmail. The officers "t the companies were worried at the beginning Of each year. he said. by the proposal of laws that would hamper their companies. and these officers really trembled at what they would have to endure for the first six months Of each year"
 While Hughes was engaged in look ing mp some documents Chairman took the opportunity to ask Mccall if he had ever given any thought as to the feasibility of a stan ddrd policy that should be written by all the companies. Mccall said that ne hal, and that he thought if some such policy couId be devised it would be gOOc thing.
