BIG INSURANCE LOBBY.
Companies Combined to Influence Leg.
icIation

New York. When the lcgisla-
tive committee on insurance inves-
tigation adjourned yesterday until
next Wednesday, it concluded week
in which greater progress had been
made than in any week since the in
vestigation was begun. The testimony
has been replete with sensations and
that taken yesterday was no excep-
tion to the rule.
1t was during the afternoon session
when Alfred w. Maine, an associate
auditor of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society. was called TO the stand,
that it was disclosed that the Equitable
Life, the Mutual Life ana the New
York Life companies had formed Il
pool to look after legislation before
the various state legislatures.
Andrew II. Hamilton, to whom Presi-
dent Mccall of the New York Life paid
several checks. the purpose of which
the counsel for the committee, MIR.
Hughes, has not yet brought TO light,
was one of the chief members of the
legal staff of these companies and was
employed and received money for ser
vices from the Equitable.
Mr.. Maine told of the division oi the
ilton in conjunction with Z. l.. Short
and +. NJ. Thummell.
Witness presented vouchers for
moneys paid by his company to Mir,
Hamilton, and these showed that in
eight years, from 1895 TO 1908. SG5.-
$50 was paid to Mr.. Hamilton for legal
services.
Mr.. Maine could not give any de-
tails of the duties performed by Mr..
Hamilton nor of the committees he
appeared before, beyond the fact that
Mr.. Hamilton looked after Legislative
matters for all three companies in the
states west of Ohio.
Witness told Of an agreement
whereby special counsel was employed
by one company in its territory and
the expense was shared by all. He
was asked if campaign contributions
came under his observation, and he
replied that they did not. He never
heard of money being paid to influence
legislators.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 2d.-(Spe-
cial. There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of |. n. Whipkey of Rheuma-
tism. She was a great sufferer for
Ave or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to
improve almost at once and now she
is cured and can run and play as other
children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life"
Dodds Kidney Pills have proved
that rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
Guently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

dominant factors being the extension
