PRESIDENT OF THE MUTUAL LIFE
PROBABLY WILL BE NEXT ON
THE RACK.
BIG SENSATION EVERY DAY
WEEK OF STARTLING DlscLoS
URES THAT HAS STIRRED
THE COUNTRY.

New York, Oct. S.-Closing a week,
every day Of which has produced a
sensation that has stirred the country,
the special legislative committee in
vestigatlng the methods OF insurance
companies adjourned yesterday until
Tuesday of next week.
While other weeks of the hearing
have had sensations, no previous week
has had a sensation every day as the
one that was concluded with yester-
days session. 1t was expected the
president of the Mutual Life would be
called to the stand yesterday, but by
a misunderstanding President Nc
Curdy had left the Office of the Mutual
Life before he was called for, and it
is expected that he will be the first
witness on Tuesday.
Salaries Are Immense.
In yesterdays testimony the SEN
sational development was when Mr..
Hughes demanded the pay roll Of the
officers of the company. This was pro-
duced and showed the salaries of these
officers since 1887. For the year 1904
President McCmdy received $150,000;
two vice presidents were paid $4,000
each. a second vice president $11,500,
the third vice president 100000, and
the general manager $4,000, who this
year will receive 100000, and the treas
urer $4,000
Robert McCurdy said he never knew
the salary of his father until yester-
day, when he heard it read in the COM
mittee room. He thought, however.
that there should be no limit to the
salary OF such positions, because they
should be in accordance with the ac-
cumulations of the company.
Great Work; Great Rewards.
Earlier in the day, when Mr.. McCur.
dy was on the stand Mr.. Hughes tried
to bring out why c. H. Raymond and
the partners in his firm received larger
emoluments from the company than
any other agents in the business. Mr..
McCurdy said he did not know what
Mr.. Thebaud received from the bust
ness and that he had never talked
with him about his personal affairs.
He said it was large reward for
large achievements" and that all bust
nesses of large magnitude were built
up on that principle.
During Mr.. McCurdy's testimony IT,
was brought out that George Ray
mond, brother of Charles H. Ray
mond, was the general agent for New
Jersey, that Howard Lewis, the gen.
eral agent for Northern New York
with an Office in Albany.
Was Cousin
of either the vice president, Mr.. Grall-
Miss, or Mrs. Granniss, that DR.. E. j.

tual Life, married sister of the pres
ident of the company, and that d.
Stnyvesant Pilot, an inspector of risks,
is a cousin of Louis Thebaud. son-in-
law of President McCurdy, and part
ner of the Raymond firm. G. w. White,
a secretary of the company, whom Mr..
McCurdy was asked about, was no
relative of any officer of the company,
but Mr.. McCurdy said that "Mrs.
White was niece of Mrs. Granniss.
wife OF Vice President Granniss."
He knew none of the salaries of
these officers.
