New York, Oct. 10.-Walter r. GIL
Iette, vice president Of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, testified before
the legislative insurance investigating
committee that the Mutual Life fnsur-
ance company contributed $4,000 to
the Republican national committees
campaign fund In the last election in
1904.
Vice President Gillette also stated
that the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany contributed $4,000 to the Re-
publican national committee in 1909
and $4,000 in 1895.
He justified these contributions on
the same ground as did President John
A. Mccall of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, saying that the St.
Louis platform Of the Democratic party
and the free silver issue were menace
to the policyholders. DR.. Gillette said
he authorized these expenditures after
consultation with the president, vice
presidents and some members of the
board Of trustees Of the Mutual Life
Insurance company. The campaign
contributions, DR.. Gillette said, came
from the fund controlled by the COM
mittee on expenditures.
DR.. Gillette also testified that the
Mutual Life paid $72,S61 last year for
luncheons for its clerical force in this
city. This was at the rate of almost
$2so . day.
DR.. Gillette said the legal expenses
Ct the Mutual Life for 1904 were re-
ported ut $4,000. while those Of the
New York Life Insurance company
were $17i,ooo and those Of the Bquita-
BILE $2e4,00o. DIR. Gillette said he never
inquired into the reason Of the Mutual
Lies legal expenses being 20 much
greater than the two other companies.

GENERAL LEW
WALLACE is DEAD.
WAS VETERAN OF TWO WARS
AND THE WELL KNOWN AL
THOR OF "sEN HUR.n

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Feb. 1G.
General Lew Wallace, author, for.
mer American minister TO Turkey,
and veteran of the Mexican and civil
wars, died at his home in this city
last night, aged IS years.
The health Of General Wallace
has been waning for several years,
and for months it has been generally
known that his vigorous constitution
could not much longer withstand the
raYRges of wasting disease.
For more than year he has been
unable to properly assimilate food,
and this, together with his extreme
age, made more difficult his fight
against death. At no time has he
ever confessed his belief that the end
was near, and his rugged constitution
and remarkable vitality have been re.
sponsible for prolonglng his life.
