PF|STER HONEST ALL COMPANIES IN
Equitable Not Only One New
York Legislature intends
to investigate.
OTHER OFFICERS SUMMONED
Payment of Depew Loan Will Not Pre-
vent Transaction from Being
Scrutinized.

New York, Sept. 2.-It is learned that
subpOenas to appear before the legis-
lative insurance commission have been
served on nearly all the officers of the
Equitable, New York Life, Mutual, Met
ropolitan. and Mutual Reserve.
This is merely beginning. Forty
insurance companies are doing busi-
ness in this state, and, according to
the statement of one of the investi-
eating committee, all of them probably
will be called before the committee
before the inquiry is ended. Thus far
no attempt has been made to evade
the process servers.
Seek Light ON Blind Lonn.
The committee pursuing the inquiry
does not intend to take up the exam
inatiOn of each company separately.
Rather witnesses will be called from
all or most of the companies from time
to time to testify regarding certain
general subjects. The idea that the
committee is going to deal with gen.
eral conditions to the exclusion of all
inquiry into personal transactions is, il
is declared, entirely without founda-
ton.
The s6S5, 900 blind loan account. sup
posed to have been used in paying lob
bying fees. campaign contributions,
and other improper expenditures, will,
II is asserted, be looked into thorough
ly, and the men to whom the payments
were made will be summoned to the
stand. Senator Armstrong. chairman
of the committee, has told persons
close to him that if necessary Cornelius
n. Bliss and B. b. Odell, Jr, will be
subpoenaed before the committee to
tell what they know about this loan
account.
Delve In Depew LOan.
Several members of the committee
gave it as their opinion that the pay
ment of the Depew loan by no means
removed the transaction from the field
of inquiry, and that this matter will be
taken up by the committee along with
the senator's $4,000 a year retainer
fee and the question of his insurance
policies. which are said to aggregate
100000, and all carried in companies
other than the Equitable.
