The day before he gave his testi-
mony, 1t was easy enough-or the
everyday man thought il was-to
understand the style in which Mr..
Mccall lives. TO be president of a
big life insurance company meant,
after the Hyde revelations, to have
stray million lying forgotten in
the change pocket OF every coat.

fortune is reduced to say s250.OO0 or

John Augustine Mccall was born
in Albany, March 2, 1S49. He began
work as a clerk for the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, or
Albany, at very small salary.
Later he was employed by the New
York State insurance department,
and by and by became an examiner.
Grover Cleveland, while governor Of
New York, appointed him State sup
erintendent of insurance. David B.
Hill offered him the same place, but
he declined and accepted the posi-
ton of comptroller for the Equitable
Lie Assurance society. OuDSeQuent-
ly he became president OF the New
York Life Insurance Company.
Mr.. Mccall is a member Of the
Metropolitan, the Manhattan, the
City, the New York Athletic, the
Catholic and the National Arts
clubs. He has entertained on lib
eral and most hospitable scale at the
Metropolitan Club, where he has
given dinners to insurance commits

other dignitaries At some Of these
dinners letters have been read from

were invited and who expressed re-
