ON THE RACK
Hughes in Insurance Inquiry Asks Point
ed Questions as to the Rates
Change in Assess
rsanfc

New York, Nov. pa Gerald r. Brown
head Of the bond and mortgage depart
ment Of the Equitable, was on the
stand again yesterday before the legisla-
tive insurance committee to tell OF the
expenses incurred in keeping the socie-
TVS building clean and In order. Brown
said that twenty eight men were EN-
ployed by the society, which paid out
St,2s0 d month for their services, and
forty-six women were employed and
We're paid 1923 each month. The wit
mes said that the building could not be
kept clean for any less money than was
expended for the purpose Brown was
excused.
George y. Eldridge, vice president and
actuary of the Mutual Reserve Life In
surance company, was the next witness.
Mr.. Eldridge said the company was
founded in 1881 for the pupose OF doing
a post norton assessment insurance
business. Until 1902, the witness said,
the company made no definite promise
as to the amount it would pay on poll
cies. After that definite face value
form Of policy was issued.
Mr.. Eldridge admitted that in 1895
the company, in order to meet its obli-
cations, was compelled to raise the rate
Of assessment to one half the difference
of the age at the time the policy was
taken out, and the attained age. Fall
ing behiug again, the company increas-
ed the assessment TO that Of the at
tanned age
TO illustrate,v said Mr.. Hughes, sif
a man took out q policy in 1892 at the
age Of twenty-five years, he paid at
the rate of ST thousand and in 1895,
when the rate was increased to one
half the difference between the age at
the time of the policy was taken and
the attained age, he paid SLIP thou
sand, and in 1898, when the assessment
rate was increased To that Of the attain
ed age, he paid s1.4s thousand. Now
what authority did you have for MAX
ing the increase in the assessment
Eldridge gazed at the policy form and
finally said: II find here the words,
that the dues shall be fixed according
to the table hereto attached
rs that your authorityfp
"Yes.n
Mr.. Hughes did not pursue this line
OF inquiry further, but more win be

HE ACCUSES
BURTON
Former President Of Fraudu-
lent Concerns Tells Of
TALK WITH SENATOR
Deal with Post Office Department :
introduced as the Man who Had
Prevented Issuance of Fraud
Order, Witness Declares.

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov 24.-The first
witness yesterday in the trial OF United
States Senator Burton of Kansas, charg-
ed with using his influence before the
postoffice department as paid attor-
ney for corporation, was Hector G.
McRea, former comptroller of the Rialto
Grain & Securities Company. He testi-
fed that he was introduced to Senator
Burton in the Office of Vice President
Mahaney Of the Rialto company March
20, 1908, and was told by Mahaney that
the senator had severed his connection
with the company.
Witness said Mahaney told him Sena-
tor Burton had been paid to date, and
that, as everything had been cleaned up
in the postoifice department, the senator
felt he was not earning his fees.
Mr.. McRea testified that Senator Bur.
ton had made the following statement
in his presence:
Before leaving Washington, | (Sena-
tor Burton) visited the department, and
there learned that there were no COM
plants against the Rialto company
The government introduced Charles
NJ. Brooks, former president of the CONS
pany which was the predecessor of the
Rialto company, and former president
of the National Securities Company.
Brooks testified that at conference
between Senator Burton, A. K. H. Kas-
tor and himself, Senator Burton was
first introduced BY Kastor, who said
the senator was willing to represent the
National company, Brooks said he did
not see how the senator could be of any
use to him.
s.Kastor replied continued the wit
ness, Here is the man (pointing to
Burton) who defeated your fight against
Maj. Dennis, president of the Rialto
company, by preventing the issue Of a
fraud order by the postotiice department
Il replied that IN that case il might
be well to employ Senator Burton, as
Kastor assured me that all speculative
companies in st. Louis were under in
vestigation and that trouble might be
made for me.
There was some general discussion
between myself and Senator Burton as
to terms and other matters, but no de-
finite arrangement was reached
The government brought out the fact
that Brooks is now awaiting decision
of the court Of appeals Of conducting a
scheme to defraud in Connection with the
National Securities Company.
The government asked permission to
introduce one additional witness upon
his arrival in the city, and with this
exception, Col. Dyer announced that the
prosecution had completed its case.
Atty. Lehman objected, but Judge
Van de Vanter ruled that if the witness
was on hand at the reconvening of
court at 2 p. m, he could be heard, but
at that hour the defence should begin.

Hole in 1t.

Hardwick, Nov. 24.--Sometime dur.
ling the night Tuesday, burglars gained
entrance into the station at Greensboro
Bend by breaking a light of glass in the

ed open and about $500 in change, AMI
two mileage books taken. Their atten-
ton was then given the American Elk
press company's safe, which is small,
and this was carried out of back door
which they unbolted from the inside.
The safe was loaded on to a hand-car
secured in the section house near by.
The burglary was discovered by Agent
Judd when he arrived at the station at
$50 Wednesday morning and inyestiga-
ton followed. After considerable search
the ear and safe were found early in the
forenoon along side the railroad, about
two miles this side Of the Bend, near
John Hancock's farm. a hole was broken
into the top Of the safe, apparently with
the same bar used at the station, but
no booty was obtained The agent had
taken the cash home with him the night
before. American Express money order
books and other papers in the safe were
found intact

II is also stated that the firm has a
weekly pay roll Of above $4,000 and
that in the event Of the inability OF the
firm to meet this the employees, who are
Jail skilled artisans, would quit work and

A LONELY OLD AGE.
Aged so Years, She Is in House of Cor.
rection.

Rutland, Nov. "a. Mrs. Mary Todd,
age so years, who was sentenced to the
house of correction last March, after
having been declared guilty of the crime
Of destroying, by fire, the farmhouse and
two barns of Bella Churchill of Chitten-
den, spends each day and night in her
cell, sewing or reading, and keeps aloof
from the other women prisoners. She
evidently does not care to associate with
them, but takes her meals at the same
time rs the others.
There is nothing about the appearance
of this prisoner to indicate the criminal.
She might easily be taken in any other
place, for some venerable woman OF
wealth and refinement, with sweet face
and sunny smile, who had lived her
three score and ten, and awaited the APP
preaching sunset in the evening of life,
to lay down her work forever, with no
misgivings or regrets.
A bit Of homely pathos is interviewer
with her lonely existence, from day to
day, in her tiny cell Since the death
of her husband she has become forloru
and disconsolate. Her desire to live is
probably surpassed by her greater inclin-
alton to put aside all earthly toll and
lying down, pass into that sleep which
knows not the awakening here below
Her Christmas and Thanksgiving OBJ
servances are likely to be sad and cheer
less, unless some one, moved to compass
sion, resolves to do some little thing

spond to the melody Of "A little act OF
