New York, Sept 21-The probing of
the methods of life insurance compan-
les was resumed to-day by the legisla-
tive investigating committee. Before
the days proceedings were begun,
Charles E. Hughes, counsel to the COM
mittee, said he believed that facts of
more Importance and greater interest
than any developed thus far still re-
mained TO be brought out. I'VE have
not yet reached the meat of this in
quiry," said Mr. Hughes; 'in fact we
have only started it, ~.
The first witness to-day was John
F. McCullagh Of Albany, who is en-
ployed by Andrew A. Hamilton. The
checks for 100000 given by the New
York Life Insurance company to Mr.
Hamilton bore McCullagh's name as
endorser but the witness said he knew
nothing about the checks except what
he had read In the newspapers. He
did not know whether Mr. Hamilton
appeared before legislative commit
tees nor did he know anything about
his employers account in the New
York State National Bank of Albany.
He did not know of any other account
of Mr. Hamilton's In Albany, but knew
he was elected a director of the Al
bany Trust company about year
ago. The witness said he did not
known where Mr. Hamilton's books
were nor would he known where to
find any of his employers cancelled
checks. Mr. McCullagh said further
that he knew nothing whatever about
the 100000 paid to Hamilton and
concerning which Mr. Mccall, presi-
dent Of the New York Life Insurance
company, was examined yesterday.
George W. Perkins, vlce-president
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, and partner In the banking
firm of ]. Pierpont, Morgan & com
pany. was the next witness. He was
asked to produce the check for $780,
600 given TO ]. p. Morgan & company
by the New York Life Insurance COM
pany for $4,000 Of bonds of the
Navigation syndicate. These bonds
were sold by the New York Life In
surance company TO ]. p. Morgan &
company at the close of the calendar
year, December 81. 1901, and bought
back on the next business day, Janu-
ary 2, 1902. The check was offered
as evidence. An accompanying check
for S266, Mr. Perkins said he did not
known about but would look it up
| The check OF J. p. Morgan and com.
pany for $4,000 In payment for the
bonds also was asked for.
Mr. Perkins then presented a state
ment Of the New York Life Insurance
company's joint accounts from 1s91
| to 1905.

SMASHED 200 CROSSES.
vandals at Work in a Catholic Gene
terry at Escanaba.

Escanaba, Mich, Sept 21-Follow-
ing raids upon Catholic cemeteries in
Oconto, Oconto Falls, Peshtigo, Lena,
Gillett, Green Valley and Birch Creek,
in which monuments valued at several
thousand dollars were broken, gang
of three men entered st Joseph's and
st Anne's Catholic cemeteries here
Tuesday night and completely demol-
ished crosses on over two hundred
monuments and caused damage estl-
mated at $4,000. Every marble cross
in the cemetery is either broken or
dislodged. while the wooden crosses
are pulled up and piled In heaps IN
different parts of the cemetery.
Following the reports of damage
done in Catholic cemeteries at difer-
ent points last week 1t was feared that
the cemeteries here would be visited
and for several nights watchers were
on guard. Tuesday night, owing to a
misunderstanding among the guards,
no watch was kept. and the members
of the gang evidently learned that fact
and carried out their work. For the
first time an inkling as to the object
Of the gang has been secured. ON d
piece Of wrapping paper was written
a warning to Catholics not to attack
"America's policy of religious liberty.

THE RED HATS RULED OUT.
Baggage Examiners at This Port VIII
Hereafter Wear Gray Fedoras.

Washington, Sept 21.-The baggage
examiners attached to the office of the
appraiser of the port of New York have
protested against wearing red hats,
and Assistant Secretary Reynolds Of
the treasury has revoked the order re-
quiring them to do so. The order was
issued several months ago, TO become
effective on May !.
The baggage inspectors at the docks
when examining trunks and finding
that they contain what appears to be
dutIable merchandise above the value
of the 500 allowed by law, are In the
habit OF calling an examiner for the
purpose of having the value Of the ar
ticles appraised. There are compara-
lively few appraisers, and as haste Is
necessary the inspectors have some
times caused delay and annoyance to
passengers by their inability TO find an
appraiser instantly. Ii was decided to
have the appraisers wear red hats in
order that they might be conspicuous
around the docks, thus relieving the in
spectors from the necessity of hunting
for them.
Although the order was 10 90 into
effect on May i, II was suspended for
the time being on account OF the ap-
proach Of hot weather, and the officers
were allowed TO wear straw hats. On
September /. however. the straw hats
were ordered out Of commission and
the red headgear ordered in. The APP
praisers wore the new hats two days
and then a strong protest was lodged
with Appraiser Whitehead. They told
him that red was the badge OF an
archy and that a free American citizen
should not be required TO wear IL. They
also reminded him that the porters at
the Grand Central and Baltimore and
Ohio stations wore red caps, and that
they did not care TO be classed as por-
ters or servants.
Appraiser Whitehead forwarded the
protest to Washington, and after con
sidering the matter with Secretary
Shaw the order was amended yester-
day by Assistant Secretary Reynolds
Instead Of the red hats the assistant
appraisers will be required 20 wear
gray fedoras. which, although not as
conspicuous as red. are deemed suf-
ficient for purposes OF quick identifea-
ton on the crowded wharves.
