FIGURES OF METROPOLITAN
Armstrong Committee Again Exam
ines President HeEemhn and
Actunry Craig.

NEW YORK Nov. 1O-Ciosing the ses-
sions OF the week today the Armstrong
committee Of insurance investigation has
behind It mass of details and figures
which, of apparent little interest to the
lalty, is of inestimable value TO the COM
mittee. The greater part Of the week has
been devoted 70 the Metropolitan Life In
surance company. the expressions Of Presi-
dent Hegeman and James NJ. Craig, the
actuary of the company. being Of a most
techri ical nature. When adjournment was
taken today the committee had not finished
the examination Of President Hegeman, and
he will be called again next week.
Just before the hour Of adjournment
today Mr.. Hegeman was excused and Joe
Howard, jr a writer who has been EN-
ployed by the Mutual Life, was called to
the stand. He identified vouchers that he
had signed for money received for writing
advertisements and reading notices for the
Mutual Life. Mr.. Howard afforded much
amusement by his declaration that his only
regret was that he could not sign more of
these vouchers. His only complaint was
that he was not paid enough for his work.
This too was the complaint On the wit
ness stand Of Charles Smith who also
does writing for the Mutual Life and re-
ceives 5000 a year for It.
Mr.. Howard said he had been employed
thirty or forty years by the Mutual Life,
but the vouchers went back only ID 1899.
There were ten OF these vouchers aEgrc-
eating H9l25. Mr. Howard denied that he
/ had ever sent any dispatches by wire and
Z was very strenuous In his assertion that
| he had never written n line about insulr
ance for any paper on which he was EN-
ployed characterizing II as dirty trick. -
William Barnes, sr., formerly Of Albany
who now resides at Nantucket. appeared
before the commission at his own request
and was tho first witness Of the day. Mr.
Barnes name appeared on the invcstiga-
! ton several weeks ago, when vouchers
were produced for legal service. Mr. Barnes
/ explained his connection with the insurance
/ companies. answered the questions put tc
/ him and when his examination had been
concluded asked to be allowed to make a
4 statement. He was given the privilege and
/ had proceeded but a little way when Inc
was stopped by Senator Armstrong be
/ cause Mr.. Barnes statement was an argu-
| ment in defense of insurance along the
/ lines brought out I'm the investigation.

CABINET CRISIS IN FRANCE
Ministry Now Dependent Upon Frnc-
tions of Divergent Groups
for Support.

PARIS, Nov. 10-The Rouvier ministry
met with its first check today when NJ.
Berteaux. minister Of war, peremptorily-
withdrew from the ministerial branches
during an angry debate in the Chamber Of
Deputies and thereafter announced his res
ignaton. For time the entire cabinet
hung in the balance and Premier Rouvier
announced the resolution of himself and
colleagues to give up power unless they
were supported by a substantial majority.
After debate of exceptional violence a
motion favorable to the ministry prevailed
by n vote of 80 TO 147. However, the min-
.sterial majorfszis made K rSbf fractions
OF divergent groups and the future of the
cabinet remains in doubt.
After the session the premier went to the
Elysee palace and requested President Lou
bet TO call a special cabinet council tomor-
row at which NJ. Berteauxs successor will
be decided upon and at which also it is
possible further rearrangement Of the cabl-
net will be considered. NJ. Ettienne. now
minister of the interior, is mentioned as
the most probable successor to NJ. Ber-
teaux NJ. Thomson. minister OF marine,
succeeding NJ. Ettienne. Generals LangIois
and Brun are also mentioned for the war
portfolio, but the socialists threaten not to
support the ministry If a general be chosen
head of the war Office.
NJ. Bertcaux in an interview this evening
said his resignation was not intended tc
embarrass the ministry but that he was
unable to tolerate the humiliating position
OF the ministry in being dependent upon
the opposition groups in the chamber. The
crisis does not involve any important issue
but results from the breaking up of groups
on which the ministry has heretofore re,
