INSURANCE QUIZ
IS RESUMED TODAY
Emory McClintock, Actuary Of
the Mutual Life, Before
the Committee
WHY DIVIDENDS DECREASED
Tho Witness Was Expected But Failed
to Show Why the Poiicyholders'
Dividends Were Decreased While
Executive Officers Salaries Were
Increased.

New York. Oct. "a. Emory Nc
Clintock, actuary of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, was the first witt
ness today before the insurance inves-
tigating committee. It was expected
he would explain why the dividends
OF the company had decreased while
the salary OF President McCurdy was
being increased to $150,0OO a year. Nc
Clintock supported the statement made
on the stand by John A. Mccall. presi-
dent Of the New York Life as to the
causes leading to many failures during
the early days OF insurance in this
state. The companies failed, he said,
because they had nothing to support
them but current premiums.
Three big companies the Mutual,
Equitable, and New York Life, witness
said. were able to comply with the
rules Of the state insurance depart
ment by reason of having sufficient
reserves He thought the reserve re-
quirements Of the New York law as 1t
stood, prevented the formation Of many
new companies. The law, he Thought,
was defective in giving no leeway for
the expense of procuring new business.
McClintock said he favored having no
law governing the reserve, but such
supervision as would verify the state-
ments made public.
Mr.. McKeen, Of counsel to the COM
mittee, who has made a study of the
technical points of life insurance, con-
Quoted the examination Of McChntock,
a witness said he had been actuary Of
various companies since 1868. He be-
came actuary Of the Mutual Life IN
1889. He was president OF the Actuar-
ial Society of America from 1895 TO
1897, and has been a fellow Of the in-
stitute of actuaries Of Great BNttan
since 1874.
Publicity he said, was the best law,
and he thought the public could look
after itself in the way of it's protection
In these matters.
In reply to questions why policies
progressively drew less dividends as
they grew older, McClintock said the
rate Of interest Thirty years ago was
6h percent, which was distributed to
polfcyholders. Interest has been
diminish ing each year since then and
today the company is giving credit for
and one-tenth percent. The policy
holder, however, only gets what Is
above four per cent

ALICE IN WILD RIDE.
Presidents Daughter on Harriman's
Fast Train,

San Francisco Oct. 24.-The Harri-
man special, with Miss Roosevelt and
the members of her party as guests, be-
sides number of railroad men, is now
we'll on it's way to New York, In an
effort to smash all records for the jour-
ney. The Union Pacific for the first
time in its history, spiked down the
switches-to avoid accident.
The steamer Siberia, although de-
tlayed by hard winds and rough weath-
er, arrived at II o'clock yesterday NOR
ming, having beaten the Korea's rec
minutes.
The members of the Hartman and
Roosevelt parties had their baggage
examined on the steamer as soon as the
doctors released them from quarantine.
The customs officers would have pass
ed the personal effects of Miss Roose-
velt, but she refused to permit it and
at her request the trunks and bags
were examined" Eight boxes con-
tanning presents and curios she bought
in the orient were shipped in bond to
New York by express. During the GUS
toms examination Miss Roosevelt con-
sented to an interview and submitted
gracefully to newspaper photograph
ers. She looked the picture of health
in gray travelling dress and three
cornered hat trimmed in red.
Sultan Did Not Propose.
"Please deny for me-" she said, "that
the sultan of Sulu proposed to me and
also that silly story that dived into
the tank on the Corea."
Miss Roosevelt said that she had
most delightful trip, but that none Of
the startling stories circulated thru
out the country regarding her We're
true. She also denied having received
all the expensive presents with which
ru1nor says she was deluged.
"All the presents that / received
were merely inexpensive mementoes Of
the trip such as any girl travelling in
strange countries would receive" said
the presidents daughter. There really
was nothing so remarkable about my
trip and can not understand why so
much fuss was made about it. I had
an exceptionally good time and enjoye
every moment that l was away. The
only thing that regret is that so many
nonsensical stories were circulated re-
garding me-"
