Officials Of Metropolitan Life
Got Easy Loans from the
Company.

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Nore exlla-
sures of shameful Insurance granting
came TO light when the Legislative In
%vestigating committee placed John II,
1eselnan. apresident OF the Metropolis
tan Life Insurance company. ON the
griddleJ and made him tell about his
borrowings from his own corporation.
how he got large sums Of money from
his wv cash box ut abSu.tily low rates
Of interest and how these loans were
temporarily restored ut the first Of
each year, so that Il good showing
would be made in the company's an
nual report.
1t was shown that other officials of
the Metropolitan had followed their
presidents lead in this method of easy
graft. and openings were made for fur
Their probing by Charles Il. Hughes at
a future session of the Investigation.
President Hegemm told the Arm
strong committee that in the last eight
years the Metropolitan Life had voiun-
tarily given $S.0C0.000 to policy holders
who had no claims on the surplus.
President Hegeman looks the most
picturesque man in the insurance game.
C%ontrasted With John AZ Mccall, with
whom lie is on record as having traded
notes. lie makes Il remarkable figure.
Mccall is sleek, well groomed and
pink. Hegeman is long haired. gray
and swarthy.
Tall and massive. like McCurdy of
the Mutual, he lacks the distinguished
appearance of the great head of Il
clan.
His big head is adorned with long
bent locks of iron gray that hang be-
low his coat collar.
His is a figure that is rarely seen in
the financial district. even though he
is a man who considers Il 100000
loan a mere bagatelle.
