their duty to bring him to book for it.
He declared again and again that the
payments were proper and legitimate
and that he had no apology to make
for himself of for President Mccall.
| One Of his interesting statements was
that in spite of reports to the contrary,
the so-called Paris account" was re-
ported and approved by the auditing
committee.
The great crowd that filled the as
| sembly chamber as soon as Judge
Hamilton's presence became known
broke out in a roar of laughter after
his reference to the enthusiasm with
which he said his victories for the
| New York Life were received by the
officials of the company. "They would
come and pat me on the back" he
said, with a bitter sneer, these men
who would not know me now; they
would come and pat me on the back
and say, you did it.
A storm of applause followed his
reference to the yellow dog" as "a
dog of courage and loyalty" 1t broke
out again when he concluded:
But the ours who stood around this
funeral that has occurred, the ours.
who knew of the transactions and
shook in their shoes-are the real
ours, and that is the reason that
come to you to say that the great in
terests of two billion of dollars of life
insurance and four hundred million
dollars of assets can never be safely
entrusted to the hands and administra-
tion of lot of curs.'
This was the ostensible purpose of
Judge Hamilton's appearance, to ad-
vocate the pending bill which would.
legislate the present boards of direc--
tors out of office and provide for a.
complete reorganization in November
His appearance was totally unexpec-
ted by the committee and he declared
both in his speech and to friends be-
fore and after it that it was almost
so to himself; that it was only at
luncheon today that the impulse
seized him to appear and have his say
in favor of the bill, with word for
President Mccall and himself
He arrived unannounced shortly
after o'clock, sat far back in the
room and for time was recognized
only by one or two newspaper men.
The silence was intense as he passed
down the aisle to begin his speech.
Among those who sat near were the
following New York Life trustees:
Rufus S. Weeks, vice president and
actuary; T. A. Buckner, vice presi-
dent; D. H. Kingsley, vice president;

One of the most successful launch

of A. G. Brown & Sons about 1890
o'clock Saturday morning when the
handsome tug w. J. Daley, owned
by John ID. Daley, of New York city,
was launched amid the blowing of
whistles and waving of flags.
Miss Mamie Daley, a daughter of
the owner, was the sponsor and in
a very fitting name christened her
with a bottle of champagne as she
glided gracefully into the water.
This boat is a sister to the Arthur
Kill, owned by the Arthur Kill Tow

eighty feet long.

Refreshments were served at the
yard, after which she was towned to

MIR. FuLLER's MOTHER DEAD.
Short Sketch of Her Life-An Earn
est Christian Worker.
MlRM a nm WHRNlRM IN

est Christian worker.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller, widow of
Jesse Fuller and mother of Jesse
Fuller, terminal agent for the p. r.
r. here, died Monday at her home,
1877 Avenue ID, Bayonne, in her nine
tieth year. Her death, while expect
ed, brought deep sorrow among her
wide circle of admiring and loving
friends, and sincere regret was ex-
pressed on every hand. With re
markable Christian fortitude the old
lady awaited the call from the Mas
ter, ready to respond. The funeral
was held from his late residence on
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Fuller was born
November "a, 1916, and had thus
nearly attained her ninetieth birth
day. She was the tenth child of
Peter Bartine. Mrs. Fuller's father
was the son of the original m of
Hanover Square, New York city.
When old Peter Bartine lived in what
was then New Amsterdam, Hanover
Square was a fertile field, which was
daily titled by the husky farmer, who
lived the life of a gentleman and de-
voted himself to horticulture, the
main feature of which was the rails
ing of turnips. Many kindly tales
are told of the old gentleman.
Mrs. Fuller was a kindly, quaint
old lady, who retained control of her
faculties UP to the time of her death.
She maintained to an extraordinary
degree the buoyant spirit of youth
and her remarkable activity and
keenness of wit was a constant Won
der to her many friends. She always
remained true to the traditions of her
bringing up that her home alone was
her kingdom and her happiness. I'm
til the last few years she was socially
a prominent figure in Bayonne and
there are many residents who recall
the pleasure 1t was to meet at the
local teas and receptions this sweet
faced, lovely old lady with gracious
manners and a bright word for every
| one. Her genial nature won her
many warm friends and nothing gave
her greater pleasure than to have the
young folks come and visit her. She
always took a kindly interest in them
and. impaired many a word of good
advice.
1t was a great pleasure to her to
say that she had Witnessed all the
great puTduSS Ill NEW lOIh Clty hum
the celebration of the opening of the
canal in 1924 up to the Dewey pa
rade at the close of the Spanish-Am-
eriean war in 1899, which she was
prevented from seeing at the last
moment because of a threatened at
tack of pneumonia.
Her "reminiscences of old New York
were always interesting and enabled
those who listened to her to realize
the wonderful changes within the
span of a single life.
Mrs. Fuller was an earnest Chris
tian and she looked forward to death
with a placid resignation. She used
to remark that her children wanted
her to live always, but that was i'm
possible and that when her time
came she would welcome death with
open arms. Since last Christmas she
had been confined TO her bed. calmly
awaiting death, for which she earn
estly prayed as q welcome relief to
the worn out body.
