Free seeds are one of the last Of the

Many of the seeds sent out are never

and when the committee heard Mr.. CAL

to do away with the distribution OF
seeds.
The annual seed distribution has been
one of the most NeXatious problems OF

CANDY" RETURNS.
Famous Legislative Agent" Arrives
from Europe Under Assumed
Nave

New York, March 8.-Andrew Ha,nil.
ton returned to New York yesterday on
The steamer Deutschland, on which he
was registered under the name of w.
Milton. Mr.. Hamilton was at the head
of the legislative bureau Of the New
York Life Insurance company and had
charge OF the legislative work Of sew
eral Of the large companies.
Explaining his return to the United
States, Mr.. Hamilton. said:
Il had heard something about GRIM
inal proceedings and here I am"
Mr.. Hamilton's connection with the
New York Life was mentioned at
length in a recent report of h Fowler
committee. and 1t was urged that he
should return to New York. John r.
Mccall. shortly before his death. sold
his long branch home in order to return
to the New York Life moneys which
1t was alleged he had given to Hamil-
ton without proper vouchers. Mr.. Nc
Call maintained both during the insur-
ance investigation and after he re-
signed h presidency Of the company
that he would trust Andrew Hamilton
with every penny he had.
F.! Commenting today upon Mr. Nc
Calls death, MI. Hamilton said hat
he gave the former president Of the
New York Life vouchers for all ex-
of these vouchers Mr.. Mccall would
have given a certificate Of indisput-
able character. He said that he reg
istered under an assumed name on the
Deutschland in order to have his return
voyage free from annoyance.
II hay something to say" he said,
but not much. I know practically
nothing as to the nature of the Fowler
report. 1t will be time enough for me
to talk about 1t when l have become
familiar with 1t.
What I suppose you want to know
is why 1 have returned. Well, L heard
something about criminal proceedings
and here 1 am. This signifies that
though my health is far from re-estab-
lished, I am ready to accept any chal-
lenge implied by such proceedings. AS
to my health, let me add that there is
no necessity for any resort to fiction.
I'm fortunate to be alive after all that
has happened. But I'm not SO fortu-
nate otherwise.
I'm especially unfortunate in the
death of Mr.. Mccall, and / might say
almost as much concerning the more
removal OF Lyman Short, chief
counsel for the Mutual, to say nothing
of the incapacitating of Mr.. Alexander.
To some who have gone I could have

they would Eay or do.
