ASK FOR HAMILTON.
INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR De.
MAND LAWYERS RETURN
.- FROM EUROPE.

President Mccall Informs Committee
That He Will Personally Reimburse
the New York Life the Sum Of $685..
600 Paid to Hamilton on His Per
sonal Receipts if the Latter Fails
to Do So by Dec. 81.
New York, Nov. 14.-John A. Mccall,
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, was called before the
Armstrong committee of insurance in
vestigation during the day and perem-
torily ordered by the committee to de-
mand the return from Europe to this
country of Andrew Hamilton, the law
ger who has had charge of legislative
matters for the New York Life. Mr..
Mccall was further ordered to demand
an accounting from Hamilton of the
moneys expended by him and of the
balance which he owes the New York
Life. Mr.. Mccall denied that it was
the policy of his company to have Mr..
Hamilton remain abroad until after
this investigation had been concluded
and said that on the contrary he would
return.
Mr.. Mccall, replying to Mr.. Hughes,
counsel for the committee, said he had
called the attention of the board of
trustees of the company to his testi-
mony before the committee relative to
Hamilton and gave Mr.. Hughes copy
Of his statement which said that if
Hamilton did not return to the New
York Life the sum OF $235000 by Dec.
81 he would himself pay it to the COM
pany. Mr.. Mccall said Mr.. Hamilton
vas either in Paris or Nauheim.
Interesting Line Of Inquiry.
Another interesting line of examina-
dcn was opened just before the ad-
journment for the day when John Nc.
Guinness, an employee of the Equitable
Life, was called. He produced letter
books and memoranda which Mr..
Hughes read and was in the midst of
the reading when adjournment was
taken. These we're instructions from
former Comptroller Thomas D. Jordan
Of the Equitable Life to A. G. Fields
relative TO the killing or assisting the
passage OF every bill introduced into
the Legislature that would affect OF

company or any OF it's officers.
Other witnesses were John R. Hege-
man, president Of the Metropolitan
Life, and Vice President Fiske, who
were interrogated along the line of
agents salaries, legal expenses of the
company, real estate holdings and the
methods Of acquiring properties and
the fact was brought out that the fire

Smith has run the hundred in even
time and the 22O one-fifth better than
;22. At wellington Duffey will meet
webster and Anderson, two more good
men, but neither have records better
than 10 LIS.
An Old sprInter
Among the men entered in the Olyni-
pic games, but who did not compete,
was w. Il. Mcpherson Of Auckland, New
Zealand. This man is one of the best
men in the sprinting line who ever
wore a shoe, and who may race against
Duffey. McPherson Is today pretty
old man, but he has q good sprint left,
having won races at Auckland last
summer. In 1891 Mcpherson made a
worlds record for the hundred on
grass at Auckland, and year later
Hempton of Christchurch, New zea-
land, also ran the hundred in record
time, but over a cinder path.
Englishmen and their descendants do
not stop running as soon as they reach
25 years of age, but keep 1t up. A
good example Of this, besides that of
Mcpherson, is seen in Stanley Rowley
Of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Rowley and Duffey met in a number
of races in England last summer, and
1t was at the suggestion of Rowley,
seconded by e. $. Marks. secretary
treasurer of the A. A. U. Of Australia,
that Duffey consented to make the
trip. OF all the Americans who have
competed abroad none has won as
much favor as Duffey.
This tour will probably mark the
close of Duffey's career on the cinder
path, and he will, by Easter, have
competed in every English-speaking
country on the globe, with the possible
exception of South Africa.

COE BREAKS THE
SHOT PUT RECORD
PECULIAR METHOD OF RALPH
ROSES RIVAL
Close Student of the Athletic Game
Is Finally Rewarded by Sue
eess-Competed in
England

Aft ar five years of careful training
and competition, Wesley w. Coe of
Somerville, Mass, has realized his am
bition to hold the worlds record for
putting the sixteen-pound shot.
At Melrose, Mass in an open handi-
cap athletic meeting under sanction of
the A. A. u, Coe put the shot 40 feet
17s inches, smashing the best records
ever recorded.
Coe first came to the front when a
student at a private school in Maasa-
chusetts, when he won the interschol-
astic championship. He had a habit,
in competition, of qualifying for the
finals, and after his opponents had put
the shot Coe had the distance neces-
sary for him to put the shot to win
measured out and then he placed a
piece of paper exactly on the spot that
he would have to put the shot to win
Nine cases out of ten Coe would wir
the event, and the shot would alight
exactly on the paper.
Ooe's Development
In 1901 Coe went to Oxford univer-
sity, England, to study, and while
there twice won the Oxford Cambridge
championship for the shot-put and
hammer throws, and his record of AZ
feet 51a inches for putting the shot re-
mains as an Oxford Cambridge record
Then In 1901 and 1902 Coe won the
English championship with puts of Al
feet 5ls inches and AZ feet, respectively
Upon his return to America in 1870:
he decided to give up competitive
athletics, but the game had too strong
a hold on him and he did not. In 1870;
ne won the New England champion,
ship, and on July 4, 1904, put the sho
4S feet inches at the New England
A. A. U. championships, thereby es-
tablishing a new worlds record, but
the record was not allowed, owing t,
a technicality. Coe then entered anC
competed in the Olympic games, being
defeated by Ralph Rose. who put tn,
shot 4S feet 7 inches, while Goes bes
put was AZ feet inches. Again at thu

ARTHUR DUFFEY
DEFENDS TITLE
AMERICAN HANDICAPPED BY
FOREIGN METHODS
Has Not Had Opportunity to Become
acknowledgements Tour
Marks His First Public
Appearance

According to the dispatches that
have recently reached America from
Australia, Arthur Duffey has at last
won a race. Because Duffey has been
unsuccessful in four out Of FIVE starts
1t does not mean that Duffey as a
drawing card, or Duffey as a crack
sprinter, has lost his usefulness. Far
from It.
Athletics in Australia are similar to
those found in England, Ireland and
Scotland. The races are all run on
turf, and as the turf course is not as
good in Australia as 1t Is in England.
visiting athletes fare badly until they
become accustomed to cross-country
sprinting.
The first race that Duffey contested
In, the 1O0-yard championship Of Vic
toria, the former champion was de-
feated in the slow time of 10 2-5. He
then started in the 75-yard handicap,
and, being on scratch, was defeated in
the phenomenal time of :07 2-5, win
ming second place.
Duffey had not been off shipboard a
week before he ran his first race. In
other words he still retained his sea
legs, and all the sprintlng he got was
the short work performed on shipboard
while sailing from England to Aus
tralia. Then Dutfey could not have
won the 75-yard dash, for in order to
do so he would have been compelled
to break the worlds record of :07 3-5
