INSURANCE TRIALS
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES IN
MUTUAL LIFE CASE.
President McCurdy on Witness Stand
HE Refused to Answer Some Cues
tions and Was Jeered by Spectators
Policy Holders Complain Of Low
Dividends, but Salaries Increase.

New York, Oct 18.-Testimony in
the insurance investigation, which was
resumed Tuesday after a weeks adj
journment of the legislative commit
tee, was most exciting throughout the
day, and only the repeated threats
of Senator Armstrong, chairman OF
the committee, to clear the room, pre-
vented violent demonstrations Of dis
appreciation toward witness, who was
Richard A. McCurdy, president OF the
Mutual Life Insurance company. AS
it was, however, there were jeers at
several periods of the days testimony
that temporarily interrupted the test1-
mony. These came when Mr.. Hughes,
counsel for the committee. asked a
question that Mr.. McCurdy was re-
luctant to answer or evaded, and were
made by the crowd that stood at the
back of the room, which long ago
proved inadequate to accommodate the
counsel and witnesses and the crowd
of spectators.
Mr. Hughes read a complaint made
by a prominent lawyer, well known to
lMr. McCurdy. The lawyer, in long
letter, described the falling off in divi
dends of his own and 25 other policies
The figures given in the letter indi
Gated that the dividends began de
creasing in 1886, going down in his
case from SIG in that year to $2.75 IL
1904. Mr.. Hughes stated that before
1885 the theory of high surplus was
not put in operation and up to tha
date policy holders were paid reason
able dividends, but under the surplus
theory dividends decreased.
Have you any comment to maxi
upon the lawyers letter." asked MI
Hughes. 81 have no doubt the state
ments in the letter can be successful
| ly controverted or properly explaine'
lby persons in the employ Of the com
pany conversant with the facts" wa
the reply.
Said Mr.. Hughes: 81 will ask you
the excess of interest from which div
dends are paid to policy holders
not now less than in former years?
"If it is said so in our official literatur
it must be So"
"But the interest earned was not
much reduced as to affect your sa
Iary?" IT don think that question
pertinent"
81 think it is very pertinent" sal
Mr.. Hughes. 81 did not fix my salar

About 1t.
New York, Oct. 19.-President
Roosevelt has promised immediate at
tention to a subject laid before him IN
connection with the use of his photo
graph for trade purposes. 1t appears
that in every five so pound cases of
certain brand of tobacco, there is a
photograph of President Roosevelt, the
other four containing the pictures OF
King Edward, the mikado, Emperor
William and the car. Great indigna-
ton was caused among members of the
cigar trade in the United States. Mr..
Diffley, president of the Cigar Dealers
association of the United States, wrote
a letter to President Roosevelt, in
which he said:
81 wish to protest against the use
of your picture in this manner. Oul
members consider it an insult to you.'
Secretary Loeb replied: "Your letter
of the 5th instant has been received
and on behalf of the president thanh
you for calling attention to the matter
on which you wrote. The subject II

Mrs. Stoops Shoots in Vain-Assailant
Kills Himself.

community was Mortified by one of the
most shocking tragedies ever occurring
within its limits. ]. A. Armitage, arm
ed with rife and revolver, gained ad-
mittance to the house of J. o. Stoops
and shot and killed Mrs. Stops, who
saw his approach, and with her child
rem had taken refuge in the second
story of her house. AS he started to
ascend the stairs, Mrs. Stops, who
was at the head, called upon him to
halt. Armitage continued his ascent,
and Mrs. Stops opened fire, emptying
her revolver, one ball taking effect in
|Armitage's forehead, inflicting scalp
wound. Armitage dropped his rifle
and drew a pistol, and selling his VIC
tim with one hand, held the revolver
to her breast and pulled the trigger
She fell dead.
Then Armitage, though bleeding pro.
fusely from the scalp wound, made his
exit through the window, leaving a
trail Of blood, which marked his way
to his own house, not over 100 feet
away. There he fired shot into his
own head that ended his life.

Near the head Of Black River VAL
ley, In Windsor County, Vermont, ten
miles from the nearest railway station
at Ludlow, lies the hamlet OF Plym-
outh Union. What the population lives
on is a question difficult to answer.
Fortunately, 1t costs very little to i've
there. A majority Of the population
are in one way or another supported
by Civil War pensions. A ida! wave
Of patriotism must have swept through
this section Of Vermont In the early
sixties.
The most interesting inhabitant OF
Plymouth Union Is Aunt Esther
Damon, the last on the roll Of Federal
pensioners az widow of soldier OF

born In Plymouth township, not far

Of August, 1914. She was one OF
family of eight or nine, born to her-
itage Of poverty. Her father Is remem'
bered az q stirring" man, who began
life with nothing, married premature
ly, and worked hard to provide for his
family. In cutting timber to build
them house he was killed by the fall
Of a tree. His widow was LETT with
out resources and found It impossible
to hold her family together. One BY
one they were ''bound out" to service
and were never reunited. At tender
age Esther was thus put to work and
remembers this period chiefly 40 ono
of neglect and illtreatment.
By one kind Of work or another
mostly domestic service, she made
shift to live, and finally drifted tt
Tyson, which then had a charcoal
blast furnace and was something OF {
center of activity. She Is said to hav'
taught a district school for one or tws

very limited, and teaching could no

He was quite willing to entertain her
with stories OF the war;, but these do
not seem to compensate for the added
She tnsisted that Damon's children
should make some provision for him.
This led to misunderstandings ana
family quarrels, and they finally took
the old man 10 q farm In New Hamp-
shire. TO which the young wife refused
to 70.
No separation other than that de-
scribsd was sought or desired. Damon
never ceased to crave his wifes com
panionship; she, in turn, while unwih-
ing to be a dependent upon the Damon
family, spared enough OF her meager
earnings to keep him clothed, and IN
other ways to provide for his comfort
In some way Damon got money to
make q trip 10 Boston to visit some
friends, and from this outing he never
returned He died on the Journey,
which was probably too much for his
failing strength, but whether In going
to or coming from Boston il not clear.
| After the death Of her husband,
which in the circumstances cannot
have been very keen bereavement,
Mrs. Damon realized that she had
other duties than self-interest alone
suggested. Her mother was then old
and poor and friendless. Esther took
her and cared for her to the end OF her
life. To enable her to do this she
leased little farm near Reading, VI,
and worked 1t a. we'll a. she could
with the help Of hired man.
/ After her mothers death she did not
feel equal to continuing this profltless
and unsatisfactory enterprise, and re-
turned to Plymouth Union to take up
her residence with an old resident Of
that place, q Mrs. Snow. who had q
house, but no income. In that house
she has lived for the past sixteen
