Peaches are Safe Thus Far.

Many people had begun to believe
the peach crop in Southern Michi-
gan had been damaged by the severe
weather of the past few days, but
growers of this choice fruit near
Benton Harbor say there is no cause
for alarm. The orchards of this Sec
tion have as yet suffered no damage
from the cold, and the buds went
into the winter in such good condi-
ton that no harm is anticipated, and

lent crop.

M'CURDY WAS DEFIANT
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE

New York, Oct I8.-The testimony
yesterday afternoon by Richard A. Nc
Curdy of the Mutual Life Insurance

the repeated threats OF Senator Arm
Armstrong, chairman OF the commit
tee, to clear the room prevented yio-s
lent demonstrations Of disapprobation
of the witness. who was Richard A.
| McCurdy, president OF the Mutual Life
| Insurance Co. Il
As it was, however, there were jeers
at severalperiods of the days testimony
| that temporarily interrupted the testi-
| mony. These came when Mr.. Hughes.
the counsel for the committee asked
questions that McCurdy was reluctant
to answer, or evaded, and were made
by the crowd that stood at the back of
the room, which long ago proved in
adequate to accommodate the counsel,
and witnesses summoned and the
crowds OF spectators that increases.

fore they have been followedEto their
ends, in order that some new lead may
be taken up, and with the additional
features that are disclosed with almost
every days hearing, the interest grows
more intense. '.f r. T..
In Mr. McCurdy's testimony a fea-
ture entirely new was disclosed and this
was that the Mutual. Life Insurance

ter in the day Chairman Armstrong ex-
planned that since the information de-
