Paris, Dec. 16.--John c. Mccall Of John
A Mccall, president OF the New York Life In
surance Company. who came to Paris for the
purpose of having Andrew Hamilton, the former
confidential legislative representative Of the in
surance companies at Albany, accompany him
back to New York. sailed alone to-day on the
French Line steamer La Lorraine from Havre.
Mr. Mccall took with him Mr.. Hamiltons report
concerning his connection with the insurance
companys affairs.
The following statement was furnished from
an authoritative source:
Mr.. Mccall found upon his arrival here that
Mr.. Hamilton was under the care OF DR.. Riviere,
a famous specialist. Mr.. Mccall delayed his
departure at Mr. Hamilton's request in order to
see if the treatment would enable Mr.. Hamilton
TO return. but the doctor finally stated that the
trip Mr.. Hamilton contemplated and his return
a serious Illness. Therefore absolute rest for
several months VIII be necessary
In lien of his return Mr.. Hamilton has pre-
pared and sent full and explicit statement COW
ering his connection with the affairs of the
Insurance company.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hamilton's response
TO the legislative committee goes over the entire
ground covered In the investigation. Both Mr.
Mccall and Mr.. Hamilton declined TO go into
details OF the report, on the ground OF courtesy
to the committees

Resolution IN House for InDestiga-
ton of Hazing.

Washington, Dec. 16-Ofacers at the Naval Acad-
envy are criticised for wnking at hazing in reso-
luton introduced by Representative Pearre, of
Maryland Charges made against the authori-
ties at the Academy, as follows:
appeared be fairly well ascertained from the
testimony given before the martial (the Mer-
wether court marIiaD that the practice of tagging
hazlng and fighting was common at said insttu-
ton, and that the same was Winked at and con-
nived at by the officers Of the said institution
whose duty ii is to maintain discipline among the
nidshipnen and to train and perfect them for SER
vice as officers of the navy and to protect such
midshipmen in their health and life, and that the
failure to maintain discipline lay the door
OF said institution than upon the midshipmen at
tending there.
After reviewing the Meriwether case and the re-
cent hazing of Midshipman Kimbrough, the resoIu-
ton provides for 6 complete investigation by the
Committee on Naval Affairs and recommendations
by that committee to how the institution may be
SO reconstructed and changed to prevent "disas-
trous and disgraceful occurrences
The resolution urges that the responsibility for
recent happenings at Annapolis be fixed definitely
and that the committee make recommendations
which may lay the blame where it belongs, 80
that hereafter the result may end with the mere
ulsmlsslng OF promising young from the in
sttuton, but bring to book and visit proper PENAL
ties upon, the trained officers IN charge of such

Democratic Congressman Preparing
to Mcke One.
rrrom 1ns Trleu1e nu1eau.l


Washington. Dec 16.-The War Department
authorities learn of an intention on the part of
certain Democratic Congressman to renew the
attack on the army retired list. Facts and
figures have been gathered by these critics for
the evident purpose OF creating prejudice in
Congress and gaining a certain kind of applause
from the public Il win probably be urged that
there have been too many additions TO the re-
tired list Of the army especially in the higher
grades
The War Department authorities are in q
position to fall back on the law which authorized
reward Of officers of the Civil War service by
advancing each one grade. In appointments of
general officers care has been taken to select
such men as wsre entitled TO special considera-
ton on account of their service and record and
IL the contemplated attacks should come up in
the present session they are likely to be ade-
quately answered by Congressman. who will
urge that the reward bestowed by the admins
tration army officers has been deserved by
individual achievements.
There is, however, certains fame attached to
attacks on the army retired list 1t has never
amounted to anything in the past, and is not
expected to obtain anything more than passing

companies seems to be spreading through the
country since the investigation of the old line
companies began in this city insurance eX-
merits here have heard of at least fourteen new
compan!es which have taken active steps TO-
ward organization. while the number stin IN
the process of being talked up is several
times that.
New-york naturally leads the list in the
number of its new companies. for here the
interest in the investigation is most acute
Among the companies recently chartered by the
State are the Buffalo Life Insurance Company,
the Columbia Life Insurance Company OF New
York City, the Liberty Life Assurance Com
pany of Newly City. the Peoples Life
Insurance Company Of America and the Trae
ers' Union Life Insurance Company, all with
a capital stock of 100000.

United States Annuity and Life Insurance Com
pany, of Chicago, with an authorized capital OF
$500, 900, and the American Mutual Life 1nsur-
ance Company, also of Chicago. with an author
ICED capital of s50O.oOO with a provision for a
surplus of 100 per cent of the capital

going into a company to be known as the Lamar
Mutual Life Insurance Company.
'"There are several reasons for the format1on
of these new companies" said an insurance ex-
pert yesterday. There is no doubt that the dis
closures brought out by the Investigations IN
this city have caused thousands of poncyholders
to give up their insurance. They are looking
about now for some cheaper form of insurance
firmly convinced that they have been dreadfnlly
overcharged in the past The new companies
are all quoting the lowest possible premium
rates and are taking many of the dtssat1shed
policyholders Of the older companies. Their
progress or lack OF it will be watched with
interest by the insurance world, but there is
prevetling opinion that conservative manage
men will give them an excellent chance.
