The legislative career of the chairman has
been notable. A man Of somewhat independent
and original character, Senator Armstrong has
shown himself many occasions q ready. re-
sourceful and dangerous opponent.
In the matter of legislation his record is clean.
He voted according to the standards that have
been generally believed 10 be correct upon all
the important matters that were considered last
year The predominant characteristic Of Sena-
tor Armstrong is his energy and force. and his
selection was due to this, together with certain
degree Of conservatism that would prevent any
dangerous radical recommendations.

ond Republican member of the Insurance In
vestigating Commission. is serving his first term

Governor Higgins. Commenting on Governor
Higgins's message at his country home. in Nor
wood-ave.. tonight. President Mccall said;
AS far the New York Life is concerned we
believe the action taken by the Governor and
legislature is most commendable 1t will clear
the air and set at rest many misgivings growing
out OF the Equitabl trouble.
! sure that every other executive officer
OF the several New-York State life insurance
companies would express themselves as have
In relation 10 this matter. The policyhoders are
entitled 20 know all about the companies that
accept their premiums and promise in return
faithful custodianship of trust funds
The investigation will be helpful, for example
in amending and revamping the insurance la ws
They are legaIized inconsistencies, and a group
of contradictions have been manufactured To
meet the exigenc!es Of particular years and
cases.
Governor Higgins is entitled to the commenda-
ton of the policy holders and the companies
Superintendent Hendricks and his deputies
have done all within their power to obtain
honorable management of the companies but
the power of the Superintendent is as | know
from my experience In the Insurance De-
partment, quite limited in obtaining the actual
punishment OF offenders

Would Not Let Him Investigate.

Syracuse July 2O.-Francis Hendricks, Super
intendent of Insurance. said this afternoon that
he favored the appointment of legislative COM
mittee to investigate the affairs Of the Equita-
BILE and other big life insurance companies.
"I told Governor Higgins said Mr.. Hen
dricks that I would welcome legislative in
vestigation. II ! had to examine the Equitable
and the other three big companies-the New
York Life the Mutual Life and the Metropolitan
Life-it would be impossible for me to do so and
report by the next session of the legislature.
1.-The power OF the Superintendent to the
calling Of witnesses is limited. being confined
to members of the boards and officers Of the
companies and the amount of work ahead Is so
appalling that could not accomplish it with my
limited powers and the assistance at my COM
mand. In the Equitable after spending two
months, there were about ninety schedules COW
ering more than five hundred transactions that
were not gone into for want of time
"It seemed to be imperative duty to exam
Inc all of the great companies and investigate
their management. and to do 1t In time to re-
order that legislation on the subject may be
passed for the protection of policyholders"
What effect will the appointment Of a legis-
lative committee have your investigation of
the Equitable?" Mr.. Hendritk ks was asked
Il shall continue the Investigation as to SOL
vency. while the legislative committee can do

LOAN NOT ON THE BOOKS.
Continued from FIRST page.

Mr. Deming said that the loan had been run
ming from five to six years 1t had varied in
amount from 100000 70 $400OO0. and once had
gone to $6S5000 When asked If the account
though it stood In the names of the trustees
was not really a claim against the Equitable
he replied:
al have always considered the Equitable So
cety responsible for it,"
He asked to be excused from discussing the
loan in any way yesterday. Finally, after ne
learned that Mr.. Judson had announced that
no record of the account existed. he held con-
sultation with his brother. C. C. Deming. of
Alexander & Green, and said that by advice
of counsel he would say nothing about the
loan.
MR.. MORTON LIKES INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Morton seemed pleased with the prospec-
tive legislative Investigation He issued the
following statement:
do not object at all to an official investiga-
tion Of the life insurance companies of the State.
The more complete and searching the legislative
investigation is the better it will suit me- and
the better ii will be for the Equitable. We hope
that the proposed investigation of all New York
insurance companies will be as exhaustive as
l propose to make the investigation of the af-
fairs Of the Equitable which began over q
month ago by chartered accountants. No half
hearted investiga tion will restore the confidence
Of the public in the life insurance business.
So far as the Equitable society is concerned, 1t
is my intention that the policyholders, the trus-
tees, the new directors and the chairman of the
board shall know the exact condition Of Its
affairs from top to bottom.
William Day, who was appointed by Mr. Nor
ton to take Mr.. Jordans place, began his work
yesterday. He will begin at once an inspection
of the society's books, hoping to find some solu-
ton of the loan mystery" Mr.. Morton said
that he could not tell yet what Mr.. Day had dis
covered
Ex-Justice D. Cady Herrick called on Mr.. Nor
ton yesterday morning. and had long talk with
him. Both refused to say what had been dis
eussed 1t is believed that Mr.. Herrick consulted
with Mr.. Morton about the stock retirement
scheme proposed by Mr.. Westinghouse. and the
responsibilities of the directors in the reorgan-
Izaton Of the society.
Alexander & Colby, whose senior member, H.
NJ. Alexander. is a of ex-President Alex
ander longer attorneys for the Equitable
Assurance Society, it learned yesterday.
For several years they have handled about all
the litigation growing out of the purely insur-
ance transactions OF the society. Their fees
yearly ran well up into the thousands
Attorney General Mayer was still busy yes
terday on his preparations for the suits against
the Equitable directors. He cannot predict just
when the complaints will be ready for service.
