Last Monday the President directed
Mr.. Palmer to send to him his resigna-

to take any further action in the
cases of Oscar j. Ricketts,, foreman
of printing, and l.. G. Hay, a division
foreman in the government printing
office whose resignation Mr.. Palmer
had requested.
In direct disobedience of the Presi-

Hay that the time which they might
have in which to answer his charges

aggregate to an amount never before

less than it would have been with ia

THE NEW YORK LIFE
Searching Inquiry Made
Into Its Affairs.
Thomas Lawson May be Asked to
Testify. Clerks Sign Notes for Mil
lions TO be Used by the
Company.
Company.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Sept S.-Today's ses-
sion of the legislative life insurance
investigating committee was devoted
exclusively to the affairs of the New
York Life Insurance Company. Be-
ginning with the salaries paid to the
officers. which it was shown had been
largely increased the line of inquiry
extended through all the details of
the company's participating in va
rious underwriting syndicates for rail-
road securities, the New York Lies
connection with trust companies, and
finally near the close of the day de-
veloped the fact that it was not an
unusual thing for clerks or messengers
in the employ Of the company, with
salaries as low as $500 a year to sign
notes for millions of dollars to be used
by the company in relieving it's books
of undesirable securities.
An interesting feature of the day
was the statement that Thomas w.
Lawson may be summoned as
a witness. The committees chair
man. State Senator Armstrong, said
if the information Mr.. Lawson is sup
posed to hold could not be secured
from other sources the Boston finan-
cicr would be asked to testify.
Officers of the New York Life Com
pany testified today that on one occa-
sion it. became necessary for the COM
pany to sell certain securities in or
der to satisfy the Prussian govern
ment. Two clerks signed notes aggre-
eating $2,335, 900 and on the books
the securities appeared as sold to these
parties, although they really had been
turned over to the New York Trust
Company as security for the loan
made on the notes of the two insur-
ance companies employees.
The participation of the New York
Life to the amount of $3,00O,000 in
the syndicate that handled bonds of
the Atlantic Coast Line was taken up
John Claflin, member of Finance COM
mittee. explained he could not remem-
Der details of the transaction.
The managers of the Atlantic Coast
Line were issuing $10,000,000 bonds
to leading banks of. New York and
the New York Life at "a less IL per
cent; and later at % less IL per cent;
The Finance committee of the n. Y.
Life authorized the treasurer to take
$2,000,000 of these bonds. The col
lateral of the Atlantic Caost Line was
Louisville and Nashville stCDk. On
this deal, Mr. Claflin said, the New
York Life made a profit. He said
eff the New York Llfe were to dis
pose of it's holdings carefully and
slowly as an individual would, | have
no doubt that all such holdings could
be sold at a price equal to that for
which they were purchased"
1t was declared that since 1899 the
New York Life Insurance Company
had not been connected with trust
companies. but subsequently, it was
admitted that the stock Of the New
York Trust Company is now held for
the New York Life by a committee
of trustees.

YOU'VE NO JURISDICTION.
That Is What the Armour Lines Tell
tho Interstate Commerce
Commission.
the Associated Press

Washington, Sept. S.-The Armour
Car Lines today filed with the Inter
State Commerce Commission a denial
that the commission has any jurisdic-
ton over its refrigeration charges,
taking a position identical with that
of the Santa Fe refrigerator dispatch
that it is not common. carrier and
is not the agent of a railroad. Sepa-
rate answers are filed concerning the
relations of the refrigerator line with
each of the railroads mentioned i'll
the inquiry instituted by the Inter-
State Commerce Commission. These
include the Southern Pacific, st.
Louis and San Francisco; Central of
Georgia, Southern; Atlantic Coast Line
and Seaboard Air Line, and Kansas
City Southern, most of which have
filed denials of secret understandings
with refrigerator car lines.
Contracts with the railroads named
are made a part of the replies and
therein it is shown that the Armour
lines are in no way connected and
have nothing to do with the trans
portation of commodities or the rates
charged and collected by the raillbad
companies.
