JUDGE WILLING
TO ACT AS UMPIRE
INSURANCE CONTROVERSY MAY
BE SETTLED OUT OF
COURT.

Chicago, Oct, 5,-Acting as umpire
and not as United States Judge, Judge
Kohlsaat may settle the controversy
over the reinsuring and transferring OF
the Western Life Indemnity company,
which for the past week has been oc-
cupying the attention of several
judges and state insurance officials.
At the conclusion of the arguments be-
fore Judge Kohlsaat yesterday, on the
proposition of the issuance >of a re-
straining order against the transfer;
the appointment Of receiver and a gen.
eral accounting from the officials, the
court suggested that the warning at
torneys ''get together" and see il the
entire matter could not be settled out
of court. The attorneys representing
both sides to the controversy ex-
pressed a willingness to accept the
suggestion and the hearing was ad-
journed until next Tuesday with the
understanding that the lawyers inter-
ested would by that time have agreed
upon some form of settlement out or
court, which they would present to
him.

Vienna, Oct. 5-A disorderly scene
occurred in the lower house of parlia-

pension of the sitting amid general up
roar. While Baron Won Sternberg
was speaking during debate on the
governments declaration of policy he
was continually and badgeringly inter-
rupted by DR.. Wolff, pan-German lead
er. Sternberg appealed to Wolff to
desist but the latter persisted. Final
ly Sternberg lost his temper and threw
a water glass at Wolff, striking him on
the chest. A great uproar followed
and the president of the house called
Sternberg to order. The German
members were not satisfied with this
and demanded that Sternberg
apologize. This he refused to do and
the president being unable to restore
order declared the sitting suspended.
In the afternoon Sternberg apollo
gized but at the same time insisted he
acted in self defence. An uproar fol-
lowed and the sitting was again adj
journed.

so TESTIFIES MCCALL BEFORE
INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE.
WHERE ARE THE CHECKS?
Neil r. ToWner Says That Cancelled
Drafts From Albany Trust Com
pany Had Disappeared From Desk
of Judge Hamilton-No Record of
Campaign Contributions.

New York, Oct. 5.-That John R..
Hegeman, president of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company, borrowed
$4,000 from the New York Life In
surance company at ~ per cent. in
terest, a rate below the market rate,
was brought out in the insurance in
vestigation last week. Yesterday
President Mccall of the New York
Life testified that he in turn Dor
rowed $4,000 from the Metropolitan
at the same rate This was in Janu-
airy, 1903 The loan was renewed
in January, 1904, and ran until March,
1905, when the rate was advanced to
2 per cent. at which rate it is still
running.
Mccall testified that he was a di-
rector of the Metropolitan Life but
not stakeholder. The fact OF his
being a director, Mccall continued,
Gid not deter him from procuring a
loan at as low rate of interest as
possible. when it was to his interest
to do So.
A sensation was caused when Neil
F. Towner of Albany was called to
the stand and disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of the can
celed checks of Judge Hamilton OF
Albany. Towner testified that he
was associated with Hamilton in the
practice of law in Albany. The
Hamilton account was under investi-
cation and Mccall had been excused
while Towner took the stand.
Cancelled Checks Disappeared.
Towner testified that he had taken
some cancelled checks from the AL
bany Trust company early in Septem-
Der and had thrown them into a
drawer in Hamilton's desk. When
he went to get them last week, in
response to a subpoena from the
committee, they were gone. He had
no knowledge, he declared, of where
they could have gone or who could
have taken them.
Mccall, resuming, was asked about
the deposit to the credit of Judge
Hamilton of $162,O41 September 1,
1905. Mccall said that the New
York Life had paid Hamilton no mon
ey, but suggested that part of it
might have come from the state con-
trol1er's office by reason of assign
ment of tax moneys which would
come to The. judge by reason of his
securing the REPEAL of the: tax law
which relieved the New York Life
from the payment of the taxes Ham
ilton was to have one-third of the
amount that would be a rebate to the
company, a sum of $272,O00 netting
Hamilton about 100000.
Edwin F. Devlin, real estate manag-
er for the New York Life, testified
that the company acquired by fore

Money Making a Bane.

Rev. Henry Stauffer OF Milwaukee
said that nothing can be gained by
taking an hysterical view of the dis
couraging situation in eVangelistic
work. He said pastors were mainly
responsible and that they ought to
have the highest degree of efficiency.
He demanded that there be an awak-
ening of people to the fact that the
church is in danger of losing its space
to selfishness and money-making. He
advocated evangelism by pastors,
bible study by them, and campaigns
in fall and winter for evangelistic
purposes.
Rev. I. L. Cory of the committee on
reform work said that the year has
been remarkable in reforms. He
praised President Roosevelt for his
example of moral heroism," and
added that Hanly of Indiana, Weaver
of Philadelphia, McGovern of Milwau-
kee, and others have heard the sounu
and are bestirring themselves. The

Mccall, during his testimony. yes
terday said that there was no record
on the books Of the New York Life
of the $15O000 paid the republican
national committee for contributions
to the presidential campaigns. While
he had no personal knowledge that
the money was,paid, he assumed that
it was, becauseshe had told the treas
urer to make these payments Nc
Call also made the startling asser-
ton that three-quarters of the bills
affecting the life insurance companies
were in the nature of blackmail. The
officers of the companies were wor-
ried at the beginning of each year,
he said, by the proposal of laws that
would hamper their companies, and
these officers really trembled at
what they would have to endure the
first six months of each year.

He also added that while there has
