New York, Oct. 1.-THE testimony
in the insurance investigation today
was most exciting throughout the en-
tire day and only the repeated threats
OF Chairman Armstrong, of the commit
tee, to clear the room, prevented a VIC
lent demonstration OF disapprObation
of a witness. who was Richard A. Nc
Curdy. president of the Mutual Life
Insurance Co. As it was, however,
there were jeers at several periods of
the days testimony that temporarily
interrupted the testimony. These
came when Mr.. Hughes, counsel for
the committee, asked questions which
Mr.. McCurdy was reluctant to answer
or which he evaded, and were made by
a crowd that stood at the back Of the
loom, which long ago proved made
quate to accommodate the crowds.
Where this important investigation
is going to lead, or where it will end
has caused no small amount of cOnjec-
ture and doubtless, in some quarters,
anxiety. With the many meats that
have been taken up and dropped be-
fore being followed to their ends, in
order that some new lead may be
taken up. ana with additional features

EmcIfIng features DeUeL0b.

that are disclosed with almost every
days hearing the interest grows more
intense.
In Mr.. McCurdy's testimony today
a feature entirely new was disclosed
and this was that the Mutual Life In.
surance Company employed a literary
bureau to send out to the press of the
country news matter that was OF Dene
fit to the company.
A striking feature Of the testimony
was the refusal of Mr.. McCurdy to an
swer certain questions as to the rea-
son for reducing dividends on policies
as the business increased and assets
piled up. To all questions on this
matter witness said he was not forti-
fed with the information required:
that these were matters for the ac-
tuary to testify about; and when
pressed for his opinion refused to dis
cuss the question. Mr.. McCurdy's
demeanor was so insistent and at
times so defiant that the spectators
bent forward to catch every word and
stood on tiptpe expecting every mo-
.ment to hear him directed by counsel
to answer the question.
Mr. McCurdy said the committee was
going beyond the scope intended when
1t was appointed by the legislature.

We are now busily engaged on the con-
