INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Former Governor OdelI of New York
on the Witness Stand.

Former Governor OdelI of New York
on the Witness Stand
New York, Nov. 16.-B. B. Odell,
Jr., former governor of New York.
and at present chairman of the state
Republican committee, was the first
witness before the insurance inves-
tigating committee today He was
asked whether there was any politi-
cal influence or pressure brought to
bear upon the Mercantile Trust Co.
directly or indirectly to induce a set
tlement
There was not" said Odel.
will you state, Governor said
Attorney Hughes whether you had
any information with regard to the
introduction of bill in the state SEN
ate for the purpose of repeating the
charter of he Mercantile Trust Com
pany?"
Il knew of it at the time"
"Who advised you of it?''
Il knew of it before it's introduc-
tion''
From whom did you get your in
formation?"
"Ob, various people as to the pro-
priety of Introducing such a meas
ure''
Did you suggest its introduction?
NO"
Did you object to it's introduction?
Il saw NO objection to it,
What was the ground for that ac
tion of APPROVAL" -
Simply because the scandal incl
dent to the ship building trust was
uppermost in the peoples minds, and
it was claimed that the Mercantile
Trust Company was behind fifteen |
or sixteen corporations, every one
of which had become insolvent, and |
thought it was time such matters |
in the state of New York should be |
stopped"
Odell denied that he ever threaten |
ed any retaliatory measures against |
The Mercantile Trust Company or any |
)ne else if his claim was not settled. |
The witness was asked if later he |
changed his mind about the proprie |
in the legislature. He replied, yes |
sir The fact that the base calumny |
which Mr.. Hyde uttered here had |
been circulated in the papers led me
to call ON Senator Amblerin and say |
TO him that, desirable as l believed |
the legislation, I feared that my un-
fortunate connection with the ship |
building matter was of such a charac-
ter that it would be better for him
to drop this legislation
Odell said he wrote a letter at the
request of Mr. Mcintyre, former 4th
vice president OF the Equitable in be-
halle of Hyde's candidacy for thet
French ambassadorship, but this had
nothing to do with the Ship-building
The letter was written
before the settlement
Odell said that the bill was intend
ed for securing an investigation of
the Mercantile Trust Company. At the
time he had no suit pending against
the Mercantile Trust Company. When
the bill was Introduced, the witness
said, he had every dollar of his hold
ings in the ship-building company.
Later these holdings were sold at
auction, as he felt that the governor
should not have any direct or indi-
rect interest in a matter before the
legislature. His holdings cost him
s164,17f, and sold for $43,6S7.

lives were kneeling at prayer when
the fire reached them. Within the

TO REACH THE POLE.
A Portland Comment on the Peary Lee
ture in That City.

The following editorial from the Port
land Press will be especially interest
ing to local people as r"ary is to lee

Wednesday evening, May 10:
Those who We're so fortunate as to
attend Commander Pearys illustrated
lecture at City hall Wednesday eve

the first to set foot on the north poe

Ineligible account Of how he proposes
to get there. To reach the point whore
there are no points OF compass but all
ways are south has been the ambition
of Arctic explorers Cor centuries, but 50
far all attempts have been in vain on
account of the difficulties of travel in
the regions Of eternal ice and snow.

the same reason that Peary did.
But now the American explorer Is
going back to make another attempt

any previous expedition. He has ship
built particularly for the work and en-
bcdying all the ideas of construction
and equipment suggested by his own
long experience in the Arctic and by the

he counts on forcing his way through
the ice and farther north than has been
practicable heretofore. and that is a
great and perhaps vital point. Every
mile farther north with the ship, which
is the base OF operation. is worth many
miles on foot. Then he has the

their Illinois home to greet their long
lost daughter and sister.
Fearing to lose her prestige. should
it become known that her family was
