Take Public Into Confidence.

Mr. Mccall was recalled and offered in
evidence a resolution adopted by the board
of trustees of the New York Life Insurance
Company on October IS last. 1t stated that
the board had learned from the testimony
before the legislative investigating commit
Tee that executive officers of the company
lad expended large sums annually to OPP
pose legislation believed to he against the
interests of the policy holders. and that for
these sums no vouchers nor receipts were
issued. and that the payments We're never
brought before the board of trustees. 1T
was therefore resolved by the board that
such opposition to legislation should be
open and public, so as to place them above
criticism, and that regular vouchers and
receipts should be issued for such payments,
setting forth in detail the services rem
dered.
Moreover, a special committee of the
board should report to the board whatever
was done each month in this respect, and
a public report should be made to- the state
in the proclamation, setting forth what leg
islation in what states had been opposed,
where services had been retained. and what
had been performed by them. Mr. Mccall
said there was no intention of making this
resolution retroactive, and that nothing was
said about getting account for the money
paid to Andrew c. Hamilton.

Syndicate Participations.

Mr.. Hegeman then resumed the stand
and the statement of his syndicate partici-
pations was read. 1t covered a period OF
ten years and witness said the syndicate
had netted him about $4,000. This amount
is exclusive of $4,000 he paid into the
treasury of the company in May or June,
1909.
Tnis payment was made after consulting
counsel, when the Euilabte trouble was in
the public eye last spring. Witness said
he did this, not because he had done any
thing wrong, but he did not want to have
any one feel that ne was taking advantage
of che company or his connection with II.
Mr.. Hcgvman said the $lj,teJ he Fad TO

might be claimed it had made through the
participation of the Metropolitan Life IN

Willard u. Edminster, a fire insurance
broker. testified that his partner IS Silas B.

John a. Mccall, president of the New
York Life Insurance Company, was then
called and asked if he had any knowledge
of the Whereabouts Of Andrew Hamilton,
who has represented the New York Life In
sIIrance Company before the legislature al

Hamilton was at Paris or Nauhelm. lie

Accounting of the Moneys.

Mr.. Hughes said that the committee is de-
sirous of having an accounting of the mon
eys which have been dishursed without any
vouchers and to know for what the money
has been used, and asked Mr. Mccall to take
steps to have such an accounting and to
instruct Mr. Hamilton TO return to this
country if be is in physical condition TO do

form Nj Hamilton of the wish of the COM
mittee but he could not control him.
