NEWPORT r. T.. December IA hahn
finished message, sent Just before the bats
teries are supposed to have become ex.
hausted came here by wireless from tho
Nantucket lightship early today, asking for
help from anywhere" The message was
timed am and was as follows:
Nantucket Shoals lightship In distress,
Send help from anywhere"
Here the message broke OF.
The United States gunboat Hist left here
for the lightship at am. today
The wind Is west northwest and moders
ate. The sea is subsidiug
AS the lightships design includes water,
tight compartments. intended to save neY
In just such stress as she is now in, the
lighthouse officials declare that there VIII
be little difficulty on the part of her crew
IN keeping her afoai until aid can reach
her. The lighthouse tender Azalea. which
left New Bedford at 30 clock last night
should reach the vicinity of the Hghtshlp
during this forenoon.
When wireless messag were received at
the naval torpedo station here YESTERDAY
from the iightshp reporting that she had
sprung leak and that the water was
steadily gaining the officials prepared TO
send help. The gunboat Hist was ordered
to proceed to the scene, but as she was
ABOUT TO start Il defect III her steering gear
was discovered, which made It necessary
for her to have repairs made immediately
Word then was sent TO New Bedford,
where the ligh thouse tender Azalea was iyt
ing, and that vessel was dispatched 10 me

Gunboat Off for Rescue.
Early today the steering gear of the Hist
again was in proper shape and al clocn
she left the naval training station under
orders TO make the best possible speed ia
the lightship.
The distance she will have to cover La
about ninety-seven miles.
The leak in the Hghtship's hull, while not
definitely located, according to the latest
messages was apparently just above the
fire room plates. So rapidly did the water
come in, although the pumps were kept
constantly at work, that late yesterday aftS
erroon the fire room was flooded and the
fires had been extinguishsd. Wireless con>p
munication then ceased, and II was sub
posed that nothing further would be hear&
directly from the vessel, as the dynamo0
probably had given out. Early today. howb
ever, came the brief apparently unfinished,
message, again asking for aid. This time 1t
Is thought the wireless system must have
become completely crippled.
The wind shifted to northwest late yesters
day and this had the effect of causing the
great seas to moderate sensbly, so that less
anxiety was felt here this forenoon for tha
lghtship's safety.
On board the lightship are Capt. Jorgens
son of Dennis. Mass commanding; TWO ems
gineers, three naval electricians. operating
the wireless apparatus and eight seamen.

Commissions.

NEW YORK, December 11-An fnvcsti-
cation of tho affairs of the Home Life In
surance Company of New York was taken
up by the Legislative insurance investigat-
Ing committee today. TIE first witness
called was George e Ide president of that
company
personally he carried no life insurance
he said, but he thought some Of the officials
OF his company may have received commits
sions on their own policies. He was asked
by Charles f. Hughes, counsel for the COM
mtttee. to furnish list OF them
Mr.. Ide said his company is paying a pen
sion of Sl,oo0 year to clerk who was
employed since the foundation of the com
pany and is now unable to work
Mr.. ide described the financial operation
of mis- company, and said it makes invest
ments in stocks and bonds through one
hrm Of brokers' and pays them the regu-
lar commission of one-eighth of l per cent
The surplus of his company has been
held at about 81, H., 600 for twenty years,
because he regards that as sufficient and
ne felt that policyholders are entitled to
the accommodations their policies
Mr.. Hughes said all but IL per cent OF
the company's business is on deferred div
idend policies. Mr. Ide said the dividends
are paid annually to policies so stipulating.
out on others the accommodations are ap-
portoned to each policy each year. The
present amount of that accumulation is
81 ,290 coo
A policy holder who requests It is told
what amount of dividends is credited to his
policy each year. Mr. Ide described in de-
tau MS company's method of finding and
credittng these dividends
An Annual Expose.
Mr.. lde said this practice of making an
annual statement is IAN annual expose,
Of tie conduct of the companys business,
and is embarrassing to him. Assemblyman
Cox by questions ELECTED from Mr. Ide that
this is salutary check on the payment of
the high commissions for new business. and
makes 1t difficult to secure new business
as compared to other companies which do
not make this annual expose.
Mr. Hughes read and questioned the wit
ness about a circular which Mr.. Ide had
issued recently in which he said the de-
ferred dividends plan causes the accumu-
ataon of a bdg surplus which, In hhs opin-
DIN. leads to lax and extravagant condt-
ton OF business because the company Is not
compelled to account to the policy holder
until Ids policy natures. Mr.. Ide said his
company has met that condition by making
dts annual accounting to the policy holders
