New York, Oct. 12.-The sessions of
the insurance investigating committee
were terminated for the week at the
adjournment yesterday because of the
death of S. Fred Nixon, speaker OF the
assembly of the legislature of New
York, at his home in Westfeid.
The testimony yesterday did not
elicit any information of a sensational
nature beyond what had been discount
ed in the testimony of previous wit
nesses. The feature was the presence
as witnesses of the executive officers
of the Mutual Life Insurance company
These were President Richard A. Nc
Curdy and Vice Presidents Granniss
and Gillette.
Money for Campaign Purposes.
While it had been limited last week
that some expenditures charged to
legal expenses might have been con-
tributions to campaign committees, 1t
was announced definitely by DR.. Gil
lette that the Mutual Life Insurance
company contributed $4,000 to the Re-
publican national committee last fall,
that in 1900 $4,000 was contributed,
and in 1896 $4,000 was given for cam
paign purposes.
DR. Gillette testified that he paid
these amounts personally in cash, and
later in the day Mr.. McCurdy said that
while he knew campaign contributions
had been made he did not know the
amounts.
An interesting statement was made
by Robert Olyphant when he was on
the stand early in the day. Mr.. Oily
plant is chairman of expenditures
and he could not tell what the $4,000
items drawn to his order were for be-
yond that they
Were for Legal Expenses.
He said the company maintained
confidential fund for expenditures for
which no voucher was taken and no re-
ceipt was received. These payments
were made upon the assurance OF an
executive officer that "they were all
right
In taking up a detailed list of the
company's expenses DR.. Gillette said
that the company last year paid $72,-
900 for luncheons for the employees. 1t
is a custom for the company to furnish
their clerks with luncheon. This is at
the rate of about $3.50 day.
When Mr.. Grimmins was called he
assumed the entire responsibility for
the terms of the contracts with c. H.
Raymond & Co., by which that firm
made such large profits. When the
method of the expenditure of the S25,-
coo items was inquired into MI.
Granniss admitted that the general So
licitor could get $4,000 any time he
wanted it without disclosing for what
purpose he wanted it and without rem
dering any account of it. He further
said he never knew where cent OF
the money spent by the general solic-
itor went

PRAIRIE FIRES RAGE.
South Dakota Farmers Wheat and
HaV Burned

Hay Burned.
Miller, S. D., Oct. 10.-By prairie
fire twenty-five miles southwest of
here, G. w. Collins lost 500 bushels of
wheat and lot of hay. Considerable
grazing land was burned over. The
lack of help during the season caused
many firebreaks to be abandoned and
neglected. They are now a mass of
weeds, and with the big growth of
grass and vegetation on the ground
everywhere there is great danger this
fall of destructive fires. Fires are set
by railway engines, by threshing en-
gines and by travellers who stop and
cook a meal on the prairie roadside.
