cral occasions two members Of the in
lived at the house with Mr.. Fields. Mr..
Carpenter leased the houses and paid
for the servants and supplies with
money furnished him by the Mutual
Life. He did not know whether these
members of the insurance committee
ever shared in the expense, the never
received any money from them, but he
said they might have paid Mr.. Fields.
No account was kept of these expendi-
lures and the money was all received
on vouchers calling for disbursements
for legal expenses. a house has been
maintained for a period of about 10
years in Albany under these conditions
but not always on the same street.
Later in the day. when Mr.. McCurdy
was recalled, the president said he did
not know that the Mutual LIES funds
had been maintaining this house, all
though he did know that Mr.. Fields
had rented a house to escape the risk
Of illness in hotels. He was assured
Mr.. Fields paid $500 rent. Mr.. Car
renter said the entire expense Of run
ming the house had been about $4,000.
An attempt was made by Mr.. Hughes,
toudy, 10 get trace OF InOmaS ID. Jordan.
former controller of the Equitable Life
Frank 3. Jordan was called under sub
poena and he said he saw his father last,
on Labor day. He did not know then that
he was going away, and did not know
where he was now. Under persistent ques-
tioning by Mr. Hughes, young Jordan said
no mail was forwarded to his father and
that he did not know whether his father
or his mother were living or dead
FGSar w. RiEerS clerk for l.. W.
Lawrence u Co, was called. He was
shown the Plunllitt voucher and said he
was of the opinion that the signature on
the voucher and that written by Plunkitt
on the stand We're identical. He could not
recognize either of them definitely as the
signature Of Plunkitt. A voucher drawn
in December, 1902 for s16s7.50 and signed
by Rogers was charged to legal services
of the Mutual Life, but Rogers could not
remember the circums .ances of a trans
action so far back. He acknowledged that
it bore his signature and he must have
received the money. but for what 1t was
disbursed he could not remember. The
checks for which both Plunkitts and
Rogers vouchers were signed were or
dored to be produced and they will be
presented at a later session of the COM
mttee
Toward the close of the days session,
Mr.. McCurdy was being jnterroGated on
the trust companies Of the Mutual Life Is
connected and the subsidiary companies
Of the Mutual Life and was still on the
stand when adjournment was taken.

FAN River. Mass, oct. 1S.-Thc cot

whole, have not reached Il final de-
cision as to which plan they prefer
that of the Manufacturers Association,
or the one followed by NJ. C. ID. Borden,
owner of the Fail River Iron Works,
who, today, announced that wages
would be restored on Monday, next to

The officers Of the Textile Unions
are in New York attending the annual
convention of the United Textile
Workers of America and there is no
one here authorized to speak for the
unions. Dispatches from New York
Indicate that President John Golden
and the other officers of the Textile
Workers are not enthusiastic over the
announcement tl lilc pfOlll -SildflllS
plan. President Golden does not think
the operatives will be wholly satisfied
with the plan. but so far as can be
learned it will go into effect next week
although a request will probably be
made b. the Textile Council for a con-
ference with the manufacturers. The
council has no authority to accept the
offer OF the association and it is pos
sible that the entire matter will be
laid before the various unions for an
expression of opinion.
1t is thought that no meeting of the
council can be arranged before Satur-
day, unless it is held in New York.
The operatives individually are con-
sidering the Notwithstanding proposition
and many are of the opinion that its
value cannot be determined until it is
tried. Most Of them appear to favor
IA full restoration and have a profit
sharing arrangement agreed upon at
conferences between their representa-
tives and the manufacturers. Follow
ing tn six months strike of 1904-05, the
mill hands are in no position to stop
work, and in any event a general
strike is not anticipated.
