His proffer Of another witness was all
that prevented steps being taken to-
ward his indictment.
When Mr.. McCurdy would not Of
fer any information himself Mr.
Hughes started on another line of in
quiry Later in the day Chairman
Armstrong explained that since the
information desired by the committee
could be obtained by another course, IL
was agreeable to the committee to let
Mr.. McCurdy place himself in the posi-
ton he did. Had he, however, been
directed to answer and knowing the
information desired and then refused
Mr. Armstrong said. steps would have
been taken to indict him for mis-
| Idemeanor which is the offense of
witness refusing to answer questions
before a legislative committee while
! the legislature is not in session. II
the legislature was in session refusal
to answer would have constituted con-
tempt.
! Mr. McCurdy, also during an effort
to induce him to answer questions as
to reduction of dividends, launched
/ forth in a protest as to the manner IN
which the investigation was being con-
Quoted He said that committee was
going beyond the scope intended when
lit was appointed by the Legislature,
and that the investigation had assum-
ed the proportions of an inquisition.
He was asked by Senator Armstrong
how he would conduct the investiga-
ton and was told if he had any bet
ter method the committee would be
glad to know it. McCuldy thought that
putting a witness under oath made
him feel he was on the rack.
He said his answers were publish
=
like an attempt to ruin him.
4 After taking up the questions of the
reduction of dividends, Mr.. Hughes
read a long list of policy numbers with
the amounts of the face of the policy
what had been paid and the dividends
received by the policy holders. Asked
what he had to say to these, Mr.. Nc
4. Curdy said Figures don't lie, but
liars can figure" He then hastily eX-
planned that he meant that facetiously
and that he would be glad to verify
the figures. The only explanation fol
a specific instance Of a reduction oi
dividends Mr. McCurdy gave was thai
. he supposed the policy holders had {
, reduced rate policy.
The legal expenses were again re-
CURED to, and a number Of voucher:
, for the payment of various sums were
read. 1t was brought out that William
, Barnes, ST.. of Albany, had appeared
before the committees in Albany las
winter and had received $1,000 from
. the New York Life Insurance company
as we'll as the same amount from thC
Mutual Life Insurance company. Latel
1t was brought out in a letter to Mr.
NcCurdy from VIM. Barnes, Jr., tha
Mr.. Barnes, ST., was under an annua
retainer to the Mutual Life Insurance
company.
In the course of the examination Mr.
Hughes said that McCurdy had sub
mitted figures to Justify an increas,
in salaries of officers and others OF
account OF the great prosperity of the
company. He now wanted to know
why the dividends had been reduced
on the policies. McCurdy again 'de.
clined to answer" or refused to bt
drawn into a controversy on every
question

A WAVE OF DISORDER
1t is Rowing From Moscow in All Di-
rectiOns.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-The strike
at Moscow has given an impetus to the
new wave of strikes and disorders
which is sweeping over the country
and which promises a repetition of the
period of stress that prevailed in jan
uary and February last, though it is
hoped, on a less serious scale. Beside
the tumult in st. Petersburg and Mos
COW, strikes and disorders inspired by
the events in the latter place are re-
ported from Saratoff, Kieff, Kazan,
Kharkoff and other cities, while the
strike movement has again broken out
in Moscow.
Dispatches from EkaterinOdar, I<u-
ban and Tiflis report troubles in the
Caucasus, which however, have no con-
nection with the Russian movement. a
large part of the working people seem
to be inspired by a spirit of unrest.
The movement is largely political, and
is engineered by the social democratic
and social revolutionary parties, many
of the leaders of which deplore the out
break at this time, as it will interfere
with the campaign of the parties dur
ing the elections for the dOuma. They
say, however, that it was necessary to
take advantage of the outbreak at Mos
COW even though they were not fully
prepared.
Today is the name day of the young
heir to the throne, Grand Duke Alexis
Nikolavitch, and will be celebrated as
a big holiday. Students and workmen
here are preparing demonstrations and
the customary illuminations in the
evening may be omitted because they
would encourage the formation of the
crowds in the streets AID parks.

OF RECORDS
Suggested by Former Colorado Cow
ernOr.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct 11.-An at
tack on the professional conduct OF
former Governor q. ). Thomas, OF COL
orado, an attorney in the noted Port
land mining suits for stocks and div
idends to the value Of S1,00O.0 900, is
contained in an affidavit by J. r. Bis
choff, of Colorado Springs, which has
just been filed here. BischOn charges
in effect that Mr.. Thomas suggested
the Alteration of the Portland Gold
Mining company's records in order 10
prevent James Doyle, the plaintim in
the case, from receiving 1000 shares
that the books showed were his prop
erty.
In the trial of the Portland suit, last
spring, BischOff was a witness for jas
F. Burns, the defendant. having prev
iously served as private secretary 10
Burns, and also as the bOOkkeeper Of
the company. He now states that he
had a conversation with Burns and
Thomas over the 2.OoO shares.
Thomas is quoted as saying This
is embarrassing for Us, and I viii never
be satisfied until the stOck-ledger Is
rewritten" Bischoff claims that
Thomas intimated TO him that he was
the only man competent TO re-write
the ledger, as the original was in his
handwriting.

6; total to date, 1886; deaths, 1; total
to date. 435; new foci, 2; cases under
treatment, 125; cases discharged, 2,775.
Further evidence that the marine
hospital authorities believe the eXtinc-
tion of yellow fever in New Orleans
to be a matter of only a short time
was given today when it was annOunc-
ed that no further patients would be
received for treatment in the emer-
gency hospital. There were in the hos
pital today only twenty-three under
treatment and when these have been
discharged as cured, it would be fin
ally closed.
The services of eleven acting assist
ant surgeons recruited from the ranks
of prominent physicians were dispens-
ed with today. FOrty-One officers are
still engaged in the fight, sixteen of
them of the marine hospital service

Which Life Insurance Companies
Will Have to Run.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 17.-Life insur-
ance companies seeking to enter
Texas after this year Will have to an .
swer numerous and largely personal
questions before a permit is granted
them. The Texas state authorities are
now working on the form of these ad-
ditional questions and they will be

mits now outstanding will expire.

deal or money operation of company
large or small, and will also require
promises of quarterly statements under
oath and provide for a personal inves-
tigation from time to time at the dis

Lehigh Railroad Will Make New Issue
Of Stock For Purchase.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 1.-THE
board OF directors of the Lehigh Valley
company tomorrow will act on the
contamination of the purchase of the
Coke Bros. & Co.'S anthracite prop
critics. To pay for these mines the
company must raise money, and it is
likely that an issue of about $4,000
600 of stock viii be made, present
holders to be entitled to subscribe te
one share of new stock for every two
shares now held. The capitalization of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
is S40,00O,0OO of common stock. For
several weeks there has been good
buying OF the stock, and the price has
advanced to around S75 a share.

said, have progressed so far that all
that is required is the sanction Of the
details by the Lehigh directors. The
output of the anthracite coal by Coke
Bros. & Co. is a little over 1900, 600
