apparently gathered With good deal Of
care. According to the announ cement Of
the editors, circulars were sent to each OF
the men whose names appear asking for .
veri6oation, and the lists were also sent to
the different insurano e companies for oorreo-
ton. The editor who cent the circular to
Senator Depew is spretty certain that the
Senator verified the amount opposite his
name.
The statement OF the Equitable authority
that no insurance Is carried by the Senator In
the society In which he has been a member
Of the governing board for so many years

what company or companies might be

Another man who conferred with the
subcommittee yesterday was Eugene A.
Philbin. former District Attorney OF New
