New Insurance RttaChe Brought to inc Surface By Yes
 terddy'S Investigation
His Business Is To AIIaY Inflammation Caused By Newspaper Stories. One Official Thinks inc Fewer InSur-
 dnCe Laws, inc Better

Smith, a newspaper man was the wit ness. He is employed by the mutual life insurance company, at q salary of $S 900, to do a large number of things, but a month ago was placed in charge of sending out these reports. MT. Smith had vised a number of vouchers for the payment of this work, and those aggregated $11, ,OOO, with more bills to come in.
 He thought the amount to date would reach $lOO0O. MT. Smith wrote these reports and submitted them to Allan FoTman, who owns a telegraph ic news bureau, and $1 a line was paid by the Mutual Life for the service. Clippings from various papers about the country were shown to the witness and identified as the dispatches he wrote and sent to MT. Forman. These were sent to about one hundred pa pers. but MT. Smith did not know whether the papers were paid for in serting them. In one dispatch he wrote that MT. McCurdy's attitude on the stand made a distinctly favorable i'm pressiOn, and for this he had to pay g. a line. This, he said. was worth it.
 Following MT. Smith Walter SulIi- van, who has charge of the magazine advertising department, was called. He said the Mutual advertised in twelve magazines last year at a cost of $42,- coo. Advertising in insurance papers cost about $30,OOO more, but he could not tell whether the remainder of the account of S32S,7S7, the amount charg- ed up to advertising last year, was spent.
 Earlier in the day. Emory McClin- tock, actuary of the Mutual Life. was on the stand. The entire early session of the day before recess was given over to his explanations of technical insurance. MT. McClintock practically advocated no laws for the insurance companies, except a certain supervis- ion to give the reports publicity. He thought the public could take care of
Arizona republican., 1905-10-25

themselves, and that publicity was the best law. Asked how far this view was shared m official circles, he thought he was somewhat of a missionary along that line. MT. McClintock was to have been on the stand in the af- ternoon session, but during recess he was seized with Q slight attack of vertigo, to which he is subject.
 John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, was examined, and when the adjourn ment was taken this afternoon his testimony was unfinished. While lack ing the startling features of the testi- mony of some of the other life insur- ance presidents who have testified, MT. Hogeman's remarks and explanations were none the les interesting, especial ly his statement that $S76, 900 was gtv- en to the industrial policyholders of his company last year without any ob- ligation whatever. MT. Hegeman fur ther said that in eight years his com pany had voluntarily given to policy holders $S,CO0,0cO. This was in extend ed insurance, mortuary dividends and Iiberalized policies during epidemics, floods and fires.
 It was brought out that, while the company carried collateral loans throughout the year, none appeared in the anual report on December 31. This was explained by the witness, who said that all collateral loans were transfer red on the first day of the year to Nermile and company, bankers, under an agreement, and were bought back again in January. This was done. ac- cOrding to the witness, to avoid the horde of applications for call loans from the Wall street district. MT. Hegeman did not encourage the call loan busi- ness from this section, because it en- tailed keeping a ticker in his office and he would not have one there He further did not want his company known as a loaning company.
 The large loans at such a low il- 59 tst as one and one-half per cent, especially the one to President John A. Mccall, of the New York Life Insur- ance company, was taken up, and MT. Hegeman spoke strongly of his friend ship for Mccall, who he said was clos CT than any other man to him in the insurance business, outside of his i'm mediate associates. Mir. Mccall had rendered him valuable service that was of benefit to the company, and person. ally he thought the company could af- ford, and would have been justified. in paying MT. Mccall the few hundreds of dollars the loans amounted to. The Butcher, a director of the company, who also carried a. large lean with the company at a low interest.

WHITES IT
 REAL HEAD
The Confirmation of
 an Earlier Report
He Will Be an Active Premier and nOf a Mere FigUrehedd.

St. Petersburg, Oct 24-The an- nouncement made in these dispatches yesterday that Count Witte would shortly assume active direction of the government as premier and head of a irresponsible cabinet now seems to be fully confirmed. It can be stated posi- lively that the emperor has rendered the position of premier of the cabinet about to be formed to the count, who, however, guarded ais acceptance with certain conditions which were placed before his majesty in the form of a written memorandum Count Witte is said to have informed the emperor, in his usual fearless manner, that he could accept the position only on the condition that he would be a real pre- mier with a working cabinet, and not the mere figurehead of an irresponsible body.
 According to a persistent report, the emperor actually appointed Count Witte as premier after accepting ais stipulatiOns. This report is premature but it can be said that his majesty has undoubtedly cOnfided to the count the task of drawing up, according to his ideas, a project for a responsible min isterial cabinet the consideration of which was being tediOusly dragged out in special conference. It can also be said that. following the advice of Count Witte, the powers of the new douma will be extended along western lines and the franchises brOadened. The reform will be accompanied by the practical freedom of the press and of meeting, in order to meet, at least par tially the popular demands.
 Count Witte insisted that only in this way could the country be tranquilized and the emperor apparently needed the warning

THE PRESIDENT AT TUsKEeEE.

Tuskegee. Ala, Oct. 24.-President Roosevelt reached the grounds of the Tuskegee Industrial institute after a brief stop in the town of Tuskegee where he was received by the mayor and other distinguished citizens of Ala bama. Great crowds of white and black people flocked to the institute to hear the presidents speech this morning. The president was received by Booker T. Washington, principal and the members of the faculty and the board of trustees. The institute was decorated and the stand in front of the college buildings where he reviewed the educational and industrial parade.
 There were 15OO students in line and sixty-one floats representing various phases of the work of the industrial departments of the school The presi- dent was introduced by MT. Washing ton in a few welI-chOsen sentences. He spoke at some length to the students impressing upon them the responsibiI- ities to their own race as well as cit izens of the United States.

States greeted as he has been greeted today, on his right and on his left hand as the guard of honor the veterans of the civil war, the men who wore the blue, the men who wore the gray, unit ed forever
 After the presidents speech. ex- Governor Jos. F. Johnston spoke in be- half of Camp Hardee, United Confeder- ate Veterans and presented to the president several young ladies, de- scendants of confederate soldiers and sponsors and maids of honor, who pre- sented to the president a badge from the camp.
 "We do this ito express to you our respect for the president of the United States said the governor. "Our cOnfi- dence in the courage, unsectiOnal pat riotism and generous impulses of The odore Roosevelt and in appreciation of your many kindnesses to confederate veterans. and especially for the un sought honor recently conferred upon the members of the camp.
 "We present this to you sir, because we believe you came nearer standing for the ideals that have inspired our lives than any president that we have had since the war. Had we been born north of Mason and DiXons line, MT. President many of us in the war be- tween the states might have followed the flag of our fathers, the stars and stripes but we are sure that had you been born twenty years earlier and in Georgia where you should have been born, that you would have been a gal lant leader of a brigade under Forest Or Stuart"

Cunningham. while making an examination of the Bank of Pittsburg, found @ discrepancy between the reports made to the comptroller of currency by the Bank of Pittsburg, and Enterprise National Bank of Ale gheny. which led to closing of the lat ter institution.
 Acting Attorney Hoyt has directed United States District Attorney John
 M. Denkle to make thorough fnvestiga-
 tiOn into the affair of the Enterprise National Bank with a view to criminal
 proceedings if the evidence warrants such a course.
 MT. Hoyt's order means that all pa peTs and other evidence in the posses
 sion of the bank examiner will be turn ed over at once to United States Dis
 trict Attorney Denkle and that from now on the legal representatives of the federal government will have charge
