THf NEW YORK LIFE'S
 FINANCIAL JUGGLERY
Its Relation with United States Steel
 and Morgan 9 Co.

New York, Nov. 24.-Startling developments were brought out at todays session of the Armstrong committee on insurance investigation in the course of the inquiry by MT. Hughes, counsel to the committee into the syndicate transactions participated in by the New York Life Insurance company. The most important witness was Milton A. Madison, bookkeeper of the New York Life company, dur ing whose examination it was brought out that in the case of the United States Steel corporation syndicate, the managers of which were J. P. Morgan and company, there appeared in one instance profit due the New York Life of SS7,1S7, from which was de- ducted no reason being given, the sum of $59,310, paid to Andrew Hamilton, wno has been described in the course of the investigation as "the insurance legislative generalissimo."
 It appeared from records produced by Mr. Hughes that an account of J. P Morgan and company with Hamil ton, showed that iE December 1901, that firm had advanced to Hamilton the sum of s56, ,720; that on october 1, 1902, this amount, amounted with interest to $59,310 and that it was then cancelled by the entry of that amount to Hamil- tons credit. The entry of this amount in the accounts of the New York Life reads "as per cancelled statement and arranged with MT. G. w. Perkins,"
 It was also developed that participa- tion in the syndicate of the N. Y. Life was effected through the New York Security and Trust company, by which one fourth of the profits of the former company were retained. Pressed by MT. Hughes to tell whether he knew of any other instance of money due to the New York Life being paid to a third party, as in the Hamilton case, MT. Madison recalled the payment in 1904 of $40,000 to George w. Perkins, representing the profit on a loan of $930,00 to the Boston firm of Kidder, Peabody and company. The profit, the witness said, came in the form of a check on the First National bank which he cashed, giving the money to MT. Perkins What the latter did with it the witness did not know. No entry of transaction was made on the books of the New York Life.
 Other witnesses during the day were George T. Wilson fourth vice president of the Equitable; Francis w. Jackson, auditor and Gerald Brown, in charge of the bond department of the Equit- able.

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 24-A des- perate attempt to escape from the state penitentiary was made by four convicts this afternoon, resulting in a terrific battle with weapons and nitro glycerine at the prison gate, a running fight through the streets of Jefferson City and the final capture of the four convicts. two of whom were shot and wounded. Two prison officers were shot dead and a third seriously wounded.
 The dead:
 JOHN CLAY, gate keeper.

Hall, Yardmaster Porter Calvin and five prison guards departed this morning for Fort Leav- enworth, Kas., on a special train con vcying seventy-one federal prisoners, who were being transferred from the Missouri state penitentiary to the government prison at Fort Leaven- worth. It is believed that this fact had much to do with the outbreak to- day, as it is surmised the convicts had counted largely on Warden Halls ab-

ed by shooting, rushed out to ascertain the cause. Women screamed and fled precipitately, while a majority of the men seized weapons and joined the prison officials in pursuit.
 A desperate fear gave speed to the convicts and they outran their pur- suers. Near the Missouri Railway station, they came upon a wagon be- ing driven by Orville Lane. Jumping into this wagon they held the driver to act as shield. One convict dashed the horses into a run. The wild ride was of short duration, however, as an other posse consisting Of the city po- lice augmented by citizens, appeared in front of them, and seeing that fur ther flight was cut off, they stopped the horses and made a desperate stand
 Lane was thrown into the bottom of the wagon and crouching over him, shielding themselves to the best possi- ble advantage behind the sides of the vehicle, the convicts opened fire. back to back, on their pursuers, while the prison officials shouted to them to surrender or they would be shot dead. Their only reply was volley from their revolvers. Then followed a des- perate street battle. A posse of men jumped behind a tree and shot with telling effect, splintering the wagon and finally putting a bullet through one of the convicts who fell to the ground. Thereupon, seeing that death was inevitable and further resistence useless, the convicts surrendered. It was found that the convicts Waugh and Blake were suffering from bullet wounds. Driver Orville Lane and Convicts Ryan and Raymond were un- injured.
 The convicts were immediately talk en back to the prison where their wounds were given medical attention
 while the uninjured were placed in solitary confinement in dungeon cells The convict Harry Waugh, from St Louis, was sentenced for thirty five years for first degree robbery. Waugh was a member of the Morris -Rosenau gang, with which three detectives fought terrific battle on Chestnut street in St. Louis. One detective was 1 shot dead and two other detectives
 died later in hospital from their wounds. Rosenau, one of the leaders
 was shot dead, and Morris, the other ] leader, died subsequently from his wounds. Waugh was badly beaten uI
 and after recovery was convicted and i sentenced to the penitentiary.
