WILL INVESTIGATE
LIFE INSURANCE
New YOrk's Governor Recommends
. Legislative Probe.
SENT A SPECIAL MESSAGE

Albany, N. Y, July 21.-There will
life insurance business as carried on
In this state, both by New York state
corporations and by those Of other
states doing business within this state.
This investigation will be made by
special joint committee with ample
powers, of which the chairman will be
Senator William w. Armstrong, of
Rochester, Republican. The other SEN
ators on the committee will be William
J. Tully, Of Corning, Republican. and
Daniel J. Riordan, of New York city,
Democrat
The institution of the committee fol-
lowed hard upon message of Gov
crnor Higgins to the legislature, which
came as complete surprise. The
message was received in the senate
after the conclusion of the Hooker
case. Its effect may be described as
sensational.
In calling the attention of the legis-
lature to the insurance matter, the gov
ernor says:
"The unfortunate scandals recently
made public by the internal discussions
in the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety and by the investigation of its
affairs by the superintendent of insur-
anco, have aroused feeling of intense
alarm in the breasts of thousands OF
our citizens, who have invested their
money in policies of life insurance, and
thousands of non-residents who have
been taught to respect the New York
companies as safe and secure.
while the business of life insurance.
as at present conducted, is subject to
state supervision and regulation, for
the purpose of guaranteeing the SOL
vency and the fulfilment of contracts
on the part of the companies, it is evil
dent that evils and abuses may exist
under our law; that earnings which
| should be credited to the policy holders
may be diverted to other purposes;
! that expenses OF operation may be ex-
travagant ard wasteful; that unwise
investments may be legally made, and
trustees may deal directly with the
trust funds for their personal advan-
tage. That such a condition OF affairs
can exist reflects discredit upon the
! state.
THE state owes a duty to policy
| holders and beneficiaries beyond that
| of comparing assets with liabilities and
| permitting the companies to justify
! their existence by the exhibition of a
satisfactory balance sheet and the
prompt payment OF losses. Invest
ments must be restricted, trustees must
| be held to a stricter accountability and
; the policyholders must be given more
| effective share in the government of
| the companies"

In his address at the Joint meeting
OF the Virginia and North Carolina
Press Associations at Asheville Pres
ident Warner, of the North Carolina
Association expressed the opinion
that human life is held entirely too
cheap in North Carolina. This is
true OF other States, and we are glad
to see press associations taking cog
nizance OF it. The press can perform
no higher service to society than to
create state of public opinion which
will not only compel jurors to find
verdicts in accordance with the law
and evidence, but will make murder
Odious and put the brand of Cain on
the brow of every murderer of high
or low degree.-Philadelphia Ameri-

The Southern Railway manage
ment is very anxious to complete the
double tracking of its main line
North of Charlotte. Two shifts are
on the work, so that it is kept going
both day and night. The public's in

begin to compare with the satisfac-
ton that the double track will be to

SO long the amount Of traffic that it
does on certain parts of it's main

The first circus of the season has
come and gone and If those to follow
give as good satisfaction as did Coll
mar Bros. yesterday, those who visit
the tented exhibitions this year will
have been we'll pleased. Everything
around Gollmar Bros show is new.
The costumes of the performers gilt
ter with freshness that's seldom seen,
The tiger dens and wagons are fixed
up in the finest shape. The perform
ance is far above the average. The
performers secured by the Gollmars
are of the best, and many of the acts
are new and exclusive to this circus.
There is another noticeable feature
and that is the absence of anything
that is offensive. The performers are
ladies and gentlemen, and one can go
with safety from fakirs and short
change men. The two performances
yesterday drew big crowds and not
word other than praise was heard.

Passengers and Crew Of Disabled
Steamer Forced to Eat Shark
to Save Lives.

New York, Aug. 23.-After facing
starvation and death for lack Of water
and mutiny among the Chinese crew
almost constantly, and being driven at
one time to the extremity Of eating the
flesh Of sharks, which, although it made
them Ill, was the means Of saving their
lives, eight passengers on the long
overdue steamer Athos reached New
York Tuesday.
On board the disabled vessel,
which was lowed in by the steamer
Altai, We're the bones Of ,half-eaten
sharks and cargo Of rotten bananas,
from the odors Of which the passen-
gers suffered almost as much as from
the lack of water and food.
The Athos left Port Antonio. ia
maica, July 80, and should have ar
rived six days later. Instead, how
ever, an accident happened to the
steamer every day until she finally be-
came absolutely helpless. Then a pass
ing steamer towed her to port. Her
crew of 18 Cinnamon were rent by.mu-
TIMES, first over the dearth Of to-
bacco and then over lack of rice.
A negro helper was stabbed during
one of the fights Of the hungry crew,
but the officers and passengers were
not seriously menaced.
At one time the only water to be,had
was ocean brine, which had been
boiled and condensed. One swallow
day to each person was all that t:hia
process furnished.
