Miss Haley Objected.

When the report came up for adop-
ton Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago
objected to the approval of the plan.
She charged that the report was a
plan to turn over to a corporation not
yet formed the rights and property of
the association. President Maxwell
ruled her out of order. Miss Haley
appealed to the meeting from the pres
ident's ruling, but failed to have her
appeal sustained. She then announced
she had power of attorney from a
large number of the members and
would make a fight in the courts
against the plan. The report was
adopted. but Miss Haley continued to
speak, and the meeting was in an up
roar when some one moved to adjourn

FIX THE ROADWAYS.
Attention called to west Tenth Avenue
and Stagnant Pond.

West Tenth avenue is about as dis
graceful a piece of street condition or
roadway as could exist and be open to
traffic.
Week after week people travel this
roadway daily and wonder where the
money goes We pay for street purposes.
There are some places as bad IN
other directions
The street railway track on the west
end of that thor0ughfare is about bad
enough to warrant the city in stopping
traffic till the track is fixed The pub
lie roadway is in frightful condition.
1t is dangerous for vehicles and per-
sons in them.
The stagnant pond on West Sixth
street which the State Journal has
called repeated attention to the past
summer and which is passed daily by
people driving to the beautiful State
Hospital grounds is still a menace to
health and an offense to the eye and
nose.
Councilman Swendson is after the
authorities on both these matters as
shown by the following letters he has
sent to executive officials:
WANT WORK DONE
Mr.. James Ramsey, Street Commits
sioner, City:
Dear Sir-Referring to our recent
conversation, concerning the rough
condition of the dirt roadway of West
Tenth street beg to further confirm
3 y
that time. As I stated to you, Mr..
Frank p MacLennan, proprietor of
the State Journal, and one of our
! large taxpayers, called special atten-
ton to this street. Tenth street is
heavily Travelled and its condition is
very bad, from the end of the paving
to the city limits. I beg therefore, to
D further confirm my verbal request, by
now asking, as chairman of the cOun-
/ ell committee on streets and walks,
! that you do some work on this part OF
such street and keep it in good con-
ditiOn. I beg to assure you that, if
/ in any way [ can help you in this
matter, shall be glad to do so.
/ Yours very truly,
S A SWENDSON.

B. Hogeboom, City Physician, To-

Dear Sir beg to hereby confirm
/ conversation of recent date with Mr..
! PattisOn of your office, concerning
pond of stagnant water, near the
/ southeast corner of the state insane
/ asylum grounds, on West Sixth street.
\ My attention was called to this mat
/ ter by Mr. F. P MacLennan, pro-
prietOr of the State Journal, and one
/ of our heavy taxpayers. OF course,
I this pond is outside of the city, but it
I is within the five mile limit and I un-
! derstand within the jurisdiction of

in the interest of the health and well
/ fare Of the people, that you make
/ every effort possible for the abate-
ment of this nuisance and unsightly
thing

ARREST FOR PERJURY.
Looms Up in Connection With Life
Insurance Investigation.

New York.Oct. 20.-The possibility OF
an arrest for perjury in the evidence
given before the legislative insurance
investigating committee, increased the
interest in tOday's session OF that COM
nfttee. Expectation of an arrest grew
out of the action of the committee yes
terday when Assistant District Attorney
Rand at the conclusion of the testimony
of George J. Plunkitt declared he did
not sign a voucher for S9Ol for legal
expenses, to which his name was at
tached. The voucher had been paid by
the Mutual Life Insurance company.
This evidence was followed by testl-
mOny showing that other vouchers for
legal expenses had been used to collect
funds from the Mutual Life insurance
company for the maintenance Of house
at Albany. where the Mutual Life In
surance cOmpany's agent was chartered
and where members of the legislative
insurance committee We're entertained
Further disclosures in this line were
anticipated today.
When the hearing was resumed to-
day Richard A. McCurdy. president of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
was recalled to resume his testimony
as to the connection Of the Mutual
Life Insurance company with the trust
companies which were being investi-
gated when the committee adjourned
yesterday. A list of bonds and stocks
owned by the Mutual Life Insurance
company, June 80, 1905, was present
ed for Identification and then the re-
lations of the Mutual Life Insurance
company with the United States Mort
gage and Trust company were taken
UP.
The Mutual Life Insurance company
was interested in the original acqui-
sitiOn of the charter of this company
Mr.. McCurdy said, but not exclusively
because it was DESTROYS to have other
corporate interests interested.
The daily transactions Of the company
were not influenced by the Mutual Life
Insurance company, although the MAORI
ty of it's directors were representing the
insurance company. The Mutual Life In
surance company was glad to take The
debentures of the United States Mortgage
and Trust company against its mortgages
because there was really no risk in them
with the MutuaIs large deposits. Witness
did not think that the insurance com
pan1es were led into purely speculative
transactions because of connections with
subsidiary companies. The Mutual Life
had substantial participation in the
Brooklyn Wharf &c Warehouse company
and had it not some interest in the Uni
ted states Mortgage and Trust company
would never have had an opportunity tC
invest In it. The Brooklyn Wharf anC
Warehouse company went into the hands
of a receiver Other securities in which
the Mutual invested by reason of its con.
nection with the United States MOrtgag,
and Trust company were those of tht
