INSURANCE COMMITTEE
HAS PLENTY OF FIGURES
EXAMINATION OF HEGEM4AN OF
METROPOLITAN WILL BE CON-
TINUED NEXT WEEK.

New York. Nov. 10.-Closing the
sessions of the week today the Arm
strong committee of insurance investi-
CATION has behind II mass of de-
tails and figures which, while of APP
parently little interest to the laity Is of
inestimable value to the committee.
The greater part of the work has been
devoted to the Metropolitan Life In
surance company, the examinations OF
President Hegemah and James NJ.
Craig, the actuary of the company,
being of most technical character.
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
Joseph Howard. Jr., writer who has
been employed by the Mutual Life, was
called to the stand. lie Identified
vouchers that he had signed for money
received by writing advertisements aud
reading notices for the Mutual Life.
Mr.. Howard afforded much amuse-
ment 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 witness
stand OF Charles Smith who also does
writing for the Mutual Life and re-
ceives $4,000 a year for II.
Mr.. Howard said he had been EN-
ployed thirty or forty years by the
Mutual Life. but the vouchers went
back only TO 1899.
There were ten of these vouchers,
aggregatlng $i6.625. Mr.. Howard de-
MED that he had ever sent any dis
patches by wire. and was very stren-
uous In his assertion that he had never
written line about Insurance for any
paper on which he was employed.
