ing Greeting.
New York, Nov. 30.--Senator Arm
strong, chairman Of the committee ap-
pointed by the New York legislature to
investigate life insurance, has issued
Thanksgiving greeting topolicy hold
ers advising them not to let their pol
icies lapse. The address follows:
Il am asked for a brief message to
policyholders on the eve Of our adj
sjournment for the month and am glad
to make this suggestion: Do not allow
your policies to lapse on. account Of
anything revealed by this investiga-
tion. ss
Policyholders are in q better posi-
tion now than before the investigation
began and their position ought steadily
to improve as our inquiry proceeds.
THE legislation that we will recon-
mend will safeguard and strengthen
the interests of policy olders, but
those who suffer their policies to lapse
Will lose the benefit on what has been
already done as we'll as what we hope
to accomplish.
No sacrifice now ought Ito be made
by policyholders and patience and
courage for q short time vet will not
sSnly prevent loss but enable this COM
;mittee tosrender the best service to the
greatest number.

"THAT LITTLE SWEDE.

1t is always pleasure to be able to
chronicle the success of a play when
such success is gained by legitimate

"That Little Swwede. That it has
achieved one OF the season 8 real bona

hearty endorsement of both press and

a peculiar wit and happy invention.
The humorous situations are crowded
up on each other with a profusion of

pany has paid hundreds of thousands
of dollars charged to legal expenses.
has been located in Paris. John G
Mccall, secretary of the New York
Life and son of President Mccall,
testified to this effect during the day
before the insurance investigating
committee and said it was his inten.
tion to sail next Saturday to see Ham.
ilton and induce him to return or If not
to give an accounting for the money
received by him from the New York
Life.
Mr.. Hughes, counsel to the commit.
tee, asked Mr.. Mccall to get an order
from Hamilton to his agents here to
surrender Hamilton's papers and Mr..
Mccall promised to do so.
United States Appraiser Charles P.
NcClelland was the first witness Of
the day before the committee. Mr..
McClelland served in the general as
sembly and was successfully q mem.
ber of the insurance committee of both
houses. He said he had been doing
business for the Mutual Life company
since 1890 until 1903. Mr.. McClelland
was first questioned regarding his re.
lations with A. G. Fields, who main
| tanned house at Albany for the Mu.
tua1 Life company. He knew Fields
for years, he said, and they were close
friends. He said he did not know that
Fields used influence to place men on
the insurance committee.
McClelland knew before 1890 that
Fields went to Albany to represent the
Mutual Life. but did not know what
he did there. He supposed he was in
Albany in the same capacity as repre-.
sentatives of other corporations. In
the winter of 1903 McClelland said he
lived with Fields at the Mutuals
house at Albany upon Fields invita-
tion. The impropriety Of It never oc-
Cured to him.

Survivors Pass Fearful Night.
The night on the Mataafa was .
fearful one to the living men. to say
nothing of the terrible torture that
must have fallen to the lot of those
who died. Tucked In warm beds in
hotels members of the crew tell of
what they underwent. Charles Byrne,
Henry Saunders and Herbert Emigh
made the trip in the afternoon from
the rear Of the boat forward across the
slippery deck, over which great waves
rolled and tried to break their hold.
Four tried it, fireman, name un-
known, being another, but he failed
and retraced his steps, now being num-
bered among the lost. This fireman
was three times washed over the side.
but held his grip on the rope railing
and climbed back, only to be defeated
In the end. The three that made the
trip and who owe their lives to their
courage would rush forward after each
wave and then throw themselves on
the deck and hang on as another roller
came. AS they reached the forward
part their comrades there dragged
them upon the deck.
The poor fellows on the stern end Of
the boat had little protection. In the
lee Of the enginehouse they could find
no shelter, for the waves covered the
deck to the height of the rail. They
finally climbed up under the shelter of
the big smokestack, but wet as they
were and with the biting cold they
could not long stand the exposure and
were last seen slipping down the ven
tilators, apparently to find protection,
but in all probability going to q death
by drowning.
The fifteen men forward first took
shelter in the wheelmen's cabin, but
the water soon drove them out and
they then went to the captains cabin.
The waves drove in the windows and
doors and all night long they danced
about in the little cabin trying to keep
warm. Their danger from the ele-
ments outside was passed, but the fight
against the cold was bitter one.

and the blockade was raised in the
afternoon.
Word was received here on Monday
afternoon that the Great Northern de-
pot at Granville had burned to the
ground on that day and tnat the
building and contents were complete

was severed by the fire but little of
the particulars could he learned at
that time.
Trains could be seen in all direc-
tions Wednesday to the east of us, to
the west of us and to the south Of us,
but they had hard work of it to reach
here. The snow, accompanied by
the wind Of Tie day before, had piled
up in such drifts as to be- almost i'm
passable, and, as usual in such cases,
the railroads get the worst of it.

ten wagons loaded with wheat and
drawn by traction engine. The
wagons contained an average of
eighty bushels each or about eight

The Mouse river farmers are not the

they do them all up in a bunch and
they will put string around them
if you want them to.
The Great Northern freight engine
broke down Monday morning between
here and Mohall, and an engine was
sen up from Minot to take it out.
The engine was too light to draw the
train and they had to cut it up into
sections and bring it down to the sid

was about three o clock in the after
noon before the passenger got through.
