INSURANCE MAN

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-District At
torney Jerome tonight made public the
first report prepared by him on request
of Governor Higgins concerning the
conduct of the business Of life insur-
ance in this State. The report is q
document of some 1900 words and is
addressed to the Governor. to whom a
copy was mailed today. 1t deals with
the affairs of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. In a later report, the
District Attorney says. he will consider
the business methods Of the New York
Life Insurance Company
Epitomized, the conclusions of the
District Attorney, based on an exhaust
i've study of the facts and the legal
points involved are that there is no
State law under which insurance OFF,
Gals can be proceeded against cfimi-
nalIy for acts now or formerly in COM
mon practice, some of which were made
public during the recent legislative in
curry, except in the cases of two off,
GERS of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, against whom specific charges of
forgery and larceny have been filed.
Mr. Jerome points out that while il is
in the power OF the Insurance Commits
sfoner of New York to obtain law
covering the alleged evils of insurance,
the cases under discussion do not come
within the provisions Of any statute
now existing.

BULGER'S OPINION
Of AUTOMOBILES

United States Local Inspector John
K. Bulger does not believe that gaso-
line automobiles should be allowed on
crowded passenger ferry boats. unless
under the most stringent regulations
He said yesterday IN an interview.
Replying to the allegation that am
non- oppressive. T have to say that I
recognize the automobile has come TO
stay, and that its use is every day
growing more indispensable. / have
no hostility TO automobiles; nor do
assume 20 assail in any way the inter-
ests Of the owners of same But I do
contend that the transportation of such
vehicles upon crowded passenger ferry
steamers. with their tanks containing
gasoline or other like fuel is unwfse
and dangerous. An explosion of such
fuel under the circumstances would be
fraught with almost certain danger of
panic and Injury to the passengers in
the Immediate vicinity on board. as
also the danger OF fire to the steamer
with probable great loss of life which
would follow
The Federal statEte requires that
all fire in automobiles shall be ex-
tinguished Immediately after entering
the vessel and shall not be relfShted
until Immediately before leaving the
vessel The owners of passenger steam
vessels have the right 10 refuse to
transport such automobiles altogether
