HOME LIFE COMPANY PRoBED.
President George E. Tde Before Insur-
ance Committee.

New York, Dec. 12.--An investigation
of the affairs OF the Home Life Insurance
company Of New York was taken up
by the investigating committee yester-
day. The first witness called was George
T.. Idle, president Of that company. Mr..
Idle said that personally be carried no
insurance, but he thought some OF the
officials Of his company may have re-
ceived commissions ON their own policies.
He was asked by Charles Z. Hughes,
counsel for tho committee, to furnish
list OF them. Mr.. Idle said his COM
pany is paying pension OF $1,000 a
year to clerk who was employed since
the foundation Of the company and is
now unable to work.
Mr. Idle said his company made invest
ments iii stocks and bonds through one
firm Of brokers, paying them the regular
commission Of X per cent. The surplus
OF his company had been held at about
$i,125,000 for twenty years, because he
regarded that az sufficient, and he felt
that policyholders were entitled to the
accumulations ON their policies. Mr..
Hughes said all but eleven per cent of
the company's business il on deferred
utfiueHus poilcIes. MI lue salu tDe
dividends were paid annually TO poli-
cies so STIMULATING, but on others the
aceumulations were apportioned to each
policy each year. The present amount
OF that accumulation is $1,000 ,0O0. Mr..
Hughes read a circular which Mr.. Idle
had issued recently, in which lie said
the deferred dividends plans causes the
accumulation of q big surplus, which,
in his opinion, leads to extravagant con-
duct of business, because the company
Is not compelled to account to the policy
holders until his policy natures, Mr..
Idle said his company had met that con-
dition by making its annual accounting
to the policyholders.

KEEP oUARRIEs BUSY.
Receiver Appeals to Court in the Mil.
ford Case.


Boston, Dee. 12.-As counsel for the
receiver, Ralph A. Stewart, Charles F.
Choate, Jr., appeared before Judge Colt
in the United States circuit court yester-
day and asked for authority, unless
some means is devised before Friday, to
raise the necessary money for the con-
tinuation of operations at the Milford
pink granite quarries, where between 900
and 1000 men are employed
The receiver has endeavored to bring
about some agreement between the par
ties that sufficient money might be adj
vanced to pay the running expenses and
thereby hold the valuable contract for
furnishing the granite for the Pennsyl-
yania railroad terminal Ia New York.
The court took no action on this or
other requests for instructions made by
the receiver in a report filed yesterday
morning, putting the whole matter over
until Friday.
The situation that confronts the re-
ceiver, according to the statements of
his counsel and to his report, is this:
When he took control Of the corporation
he found that it was wholly without
funds or quicl. assets with which to pay
the laborers, buy supplies and continue
the business. Under authority Of the
court $4,000 was raised on receivers
certificates, but the receiver has been
unable to raise the second $4,000 au-
thorized by the court. OF the S25, 900
there remains only about 81 900, and on
Friday there il due in wages substan-
TALLY $4,000 for the week ending Dec.
I.< .xln ~ f. eb.
then and the men discharged there
would be due at that time about $685. 900
in wages.
There is money due from the Norcross
Brothers company, Mr.. Choate said, but
they refuse to pay, so that they may
have the money in case work Is stopped,
as an offset for the damage they would
receive.
The position of the Norcross Brothers
company, as stated by Frank Buckley
S. Smith of counsel for the company
is:
"The Norcross company is minority
stakeholder and contractor to a very
considerable extent. The stone quarried
at Milford is absolutely unique. II the
contract is broken we must replace all
the stone we have taken from Milford
with other stone. Today that would en-
tail loss Of 100000. | have proposed
to form new corporation and lease the
powers of the receiver, but have not
met with much encouragement"
Asked by Judge Colt as to the cause
Of the difficulties Of the company, Mr..
Choate said that it appeared to have
tried to do TOO large business ON its
capitalization.
The receirership proceedings were
brought about two weeks ago by the
Franklin Trust company, which holds
a mortgage for S35o,000 securing an
issue Of bonds.

RECIPROCITY WANTED.
Illinois Manufacturers Association I
Take Action.

Chicago, Dec. H. Some alarming con-
ditions which are rapidly driving large
states to Canada are to be considered
within few days by the Illinois Man
ufacturers' association. Reports lust
gathered show that 1872 of the leading
concerns Of the country have been oblie.
ed, chiefly on account Of tariff restric-
tions, to establish branch plants in Can
ada, Fifteen Of these industries have
headquarters iii Chicago.
The resulting loss financially is osti-
mated at upwards Of $50,000000 of
which amount Chicago is represented in
the statistics to have suffered large
proportion.
The agitation which the Illinois Man
ufacturers' Association are about to
start is expected to assume the form
shortly Of a national appeal to Congress.
The remedy most in favor locally and
throughout the country provides FOR reel
procity legislation which will permit of
the freer exchange Of American ana ca
madam manufactured products. II Ii
likely that Congress win be asked dur
ing the present session to take some
steps.
