Given for Politics.

New York, Oct. 2.-The facts oh.
tanned by the legislative investigating
committee relating to payments of
money by the New York Life Insur-
ance company to the republican cam.
paign fund have aroused Attorney Cen
eral Mayer to action, according to in.
formation received. He has ordered
John A. Mccall, president of the New
York Life company, to restore the mon
ey to the company's treasury. II he
does not, suit will be entered against
him to compel restitution. This state
ment was made by one of the five in.
surance commissioners now here from
western and southern states. These
commissioners. stirred by the testi-
mony given by the New York Life Of
ficials as to the appropriation of the
policy holders money for campaign
purposes, decided after correspondence
among themselves to come to New
York and discover whether there are
sufficient grounds to GUST the New York
Life from its privileges in their states.
The state commissioners referred to
are R. E. Folk of Tennessee, H. j.
Trewitt of Kentucky, Zeno M. Host of
Wisconsin, Thomas v. O'Brien of Min.
uesota, and G. c. Pierce Of Nebraska.
They met at the Hoffman house Friday
and decided to take up at once the in
vestigation of the New York Life. In
the evening they called upon President
Mccall and told him of their inten-
lions. The commissioners expressed
surprise to President Mccall over his
confession that the New York Life had
used its policy holders money for cam
paign contributions, but Mr.. Mccall
only smiled.
I'VE intend" said one of the commits.
sioners to him, Ito go thoroughly into
this line of investigation, in the hope
that we will be able to trace all the
money paid out in this manner
'"The books will show where every
cent Of our money has gone," said Mr..
Mccall.
