MUTUAL LIFE CORRUPTION DEEP
AS THAT OF new YORK LIFE

New York, Oct 10.-Walter r. Gill
le,te, vice president OF he Mutual
Lie Insurance comp pnY, ;C|ifiel oe-
fore the insurance investigating COM
mittee today that the Mutual cOmpa-
ny contributed $4,000 to the republi-
can national campaign fund in 1904.
Wee President Gillette also stated
that the Mutual company contributed
$4,000 to the republican committee
in 1900 and $4,000 in 1896. He justi-
fled these contributions on the same
ground as President Mccall of the
New York Life company, saying that
the st. Louis platform of the demo-
cratic party and the free silver issue
were a menace to the policy holders.
Gillette said he authorized these eX-
penditures after consultation with the
president, the other vice presidents
and some members of the board Of
trustees Of the Mutual company. The
campaign contributions, he said, came
from the fund controlled by the com
mittee on expenditures.
Mr. Gillette further testified that
the Mutual company paid S72,S6l last
year for luncheons for its clerical
force in this city. This was at the
rate Of almost $3.50 a day.
From the testimony ELECTED today,
1t appears that there is no limit 10 the
money which the Mutuals commit
tee on expenditures may authorize TO
be paid out. General Solicitor Gil
lette admitted that he could get $685.

INDIAN SUFFERS Loss
OF THREE FINGERS

Late yesterday afternoon an Indian
from the Santo Domingo pueblo, was
the victim of a painful accident, which
resulted in the loss of three fingers
on his right hand. The Indian was ex-
pelimenting with a loaded rifle car
fridge which he had found while loaf
ing around the Indian market on North
First street, and while hammering the
cartridge it suddenly exploded, with
the above results.
He was taken to the Indian school
by Superintendent Allen, where DR..
Keck, the school physician, found it
necessary to amputate three fingers
on the injured hand, as they were
frightfully lacerated. The Indian stood
the operation without murmur and
was around town today. He thinks
the lesson was very dear one.
