Insurance Commissioner of
Texas Discusses Revelations
Reckless and Shameless
Prostitution of Trust.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 14.=Insurance
Commissioner Clay, who has just re-
turned from New York where he at

ernor Lanham at Austin this after
noon. In part he says:
II do not believe the necessity ex-
lists at present for revoking the per-
rnits to do business in Texas Of the
Mutual, the Equitable and the. New
York Life Insurance companies, as I
am led to believe each Is fully solvent.
However, have no means of know
ing what the investigation may yet re-
veal The disclosures are most as
founding and reveal a shameless ana
prodigal exploitation OF funds. It ap-
pears that the administration has been
one of personal gain and reckless and
shameless prostitution of the trust re-
posed in the officers. I would recon-
mend that the policy holders be
warned and every effort made to
bring them to a proper appreciation
of their responsibility.
s'These companies are mutual: all
their assets belong to the policy hold
ers and they should bring all pressure

been so outrageously and shamelessly
dissipated.

During the recent meeting Of the kan

Wichita the question of establishing an
orphans home, which has been under

for the home.
The famous Dewey property at
Eureka Lake, near Manhattan. was Of

place. The other proposition came from

notoriety-craving spirit. Men Of com.
mon sense know that. except within

Beethoven was a far greater when five
