European Policy Holders.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The Washing
ton Life Insurance company. the Ger
mania Life Insurance company and the
Bankers Life Insurance company d.
vided the attention of the legislative
insurance investigating committees
session here John Tatlock, president
of the Washington Life, declared that
personally he favored a distribution of
earnings every five years. The witness
took occasion to say that Thomas F.
Ryan never sold the Washington Life
any securities and that he never infiu-
enced or suggested TO the finance board
what securities to buy. Mr.. Tatlock
said he thought insurance companies
should be run by men in touch with
Wall street because of their knowledge
of the security market. He also ia
vored the idea of insurance companies
specializing in securities.
Cornelius Doremus president of the
Germania Life, was called to the stand
and said that about one-third of his
company's business was done in Eu-
rope, principally in Germany, and that
this business in many respects is bet
ter than any done in America. He de-
cared it to be more stable, there being
fewer lapses, while the cost is great
deal less than in America. The med
ical direction is also better in Germa-
ny, he said. lie characterized the
American ways of doing business as
wild methods"
The only contributions of a legisla-
tive character paid by this company
were $500 to a fund having for its OBJ
iect the defeat of the mortgage tax
law and $3.50 to further the passage OF
the lien bin in Albany in 1904 No
campaign contributions had ever been
made. This company, like the Home
Life, keeps an individual account Of
every policy holder so that the earnings
may be learned at a glance Of the
books The salary of the president is
$4,000
When the Bankers Life was taken
up Richard Morgan, a director and
former president Of the company, was
called. He detailed the formation Of
the company and its changes from a
fraternal order to an assessment order
and then into an old line company.
This is the company of which Presi-
dent H. 7. Townsley of the Life Assoc
citation of America formerly was gen
eral manager. Mr. Morgan said that
Mr.. Townsley was dismissed from the
company in 1897
e. L. Baylies. who collected the fund

TO REDEEM FOOTBALL.
Princeton Announces Changes yaces-
sary to Safeguard Game.

PRINCETON, ~ j., Dee. 2f.--Presi.
dent Woodrow Wilson and the faculty
committee on outdoor sports of Prince.
ton university have announced tbs
principal changes in the methods OF
playing and conducting football which
Princeton believes to be essential for
the proper reformation of the game.
They will urge very earnestly on all
suitable occasions the following:
First.-That in the playing of the
game all interference be abolished
Second-That all coaching by men
who are paid in any way. directly or
indirectly, or who receive their ex-
penses or any part of them be done
away with.
Third.-That the number of intercol-
leglate contests be materially decreas-
ed and the length Of the season for
such contests be correspondingly short
ened.
The first suggestion is for the pur-
pose of abolishing all mass plays and
Of restoring the original open game.
The second suggestion is designed to
place the game upon a purely amateur
footing and TO restore to the players
themselves the initiative, of which in
recent years they have been deprived.
The object of the third suggestion is to
decrease the amount of time and ener-
gy which the players are now obliged
to devote to the game. The committee
has introduced Princeton's representa-
tive upon the rules committee, J. b.
Fine, to urge upon that committee the
acceptance OF the first suggestion.
