Affairs of Home Life Company Taken
Up by Committee.

New York, Dec. 12.-An investiga-
ton of the affairs of the Home Life
Insurance company of New York was
taken up by the legislative insurance
Investigating committee during the
day. The first witness called was
George e. Ide, president of that COM
pany. Mr.. Ide said personally he
carried no life insurance, but he
thought some of the officials of his
company may have received commits
sions on their own policies. He was
asked by Charles E. Hughes. counsel
for the committee, to furnish list of
them. Mr.. Ide said his company is
paying a pension Of $1,000 year to a
clerk who was employed since the
foundation Of the company and is now
unable to work.
Mr. Ide described the financial op-
Grafton of his company and said it
makes investments in stocks and
bonds through one firm of brokers'
and pays them the regular commits
sion of one-eighth of 1 per cent. The
surplus of his company has been held
at about slips 900 for twenty years,
because he regards that as sufficient
and he felt that policyholders are en-
titled to the accumulations on their
policies.
