POLICEMAN SERIOUSLY HURT
His Team Struck by Trolley Car in
AIIingtOwn Last Night,

Frank D. Cook, a patrolman belong
ing to station No. 8, met with a painful
accident in Allingtown last night. AS a
result he lies in the New Haven hospi-
tai with all the ribs on his left side and
his shoulder broken. 1t is feared that
he has sustained internal injuries also.
The circumstances of the accident
are not clearly known. The trolleymen
who discovered him lying beside the
tracks say they do not know how the
accident took place. Another story has
it that Cook and companion named
Mayo, a mason contractor Of this city,
hired team of the Palmer stables on
Crown street last evening to go driv-
ing. They went to Ailingtown and that
while out there were struck by a troll
ley car. The horse was killed. Mayo,
as far as could be learned, was not
hurt. The accident took place about 8
o'clock.
A sad circumstance is that Cook had
been off duty for some time because of
sickness, and last evening was his first
venture out of doors for some time. He
lost his wife short time ago, and this,
too, adds to the weight of sorrow which
falls on his family. He lives at the cor
ner of Frank and West streets.

HILL Defends himself
BEFORE BAR COMMITTEE
HIS RELATIONS As COUNSEL FOR
TIE EQUITABLE LIFE
COMPANY.

ReasOnnbleness of His $4,000 a Year
Retainer-His Counsel Submits the
Case without Argument-Never
Questioned That as Senator He Had
the Right to Practice Before the
Court iof Any State-Law Makes No
Provision Against It.
New York, May 1.-THE sub-commit-
tee of the grievance committee of the
New Yorw State Bar association, which
was appointed at the request of former
Senator David B. Hill to investigate his
relations as counsel to the Equitable
Life Assurance society, met here to-
day, heard Mr.. Hill in his own behalf,
took the testimony of prominent attor-
neys as to the standing of Mr., Hill in
the legal profession, as to the reason
ableness of his $4,000 a year retainer
from the Equitable, and adjourned.
Mr.. Hills counsel, Charles A. Collin,
submitted the case without argument.
Professor e, w. Huffcut, dean of Cor
nell University Law school and chair
man Of the sub committee, then an
nounced that he and his associates
would consider the testimony, and sub
nit a report to the grievance committee
at the earliest moment possible.
During the course Of his testimony
to-day Mr.. Hill said:
Il never questioned that as senator l
had the right to practice in the courts
of any state Of the United States. The
law makes no provision against it, ex-
cept that a congressman shall not prac-
tice before the government depart
ments. l was employed by the state
attorney general to try a case against
the United States in 1892, when l was
a senator, and have tried numerous
other cases while l represented New
York state in the senate"
Who was superintendent of insur-
ance when you were GOVERNOR he was
asked by Henry Galbraith Ward, cuon-
sci to the committee.
John A. Mccall was superintendent
of insurance when l went in. He re-
signed shortly afterWard 10 take q po-
sition as manager Of the Equitable. l
appointed Robert A. Maxwell as his
successor. He served some years, when
l appointed James E. Pierce to succeed
him.
Was Mr.. Pierce superintendent Of
insurance afterwards, while you were
conranI for E0uifahlnp'
Il want to explain. Please do not
put this down. l just want this ex-
planation to be given without going on
the record, as l do not want to drag
in any names. At the time Mr.. Max
well resigned he and l had slight
falling out. At that time the senate
was heavily republican, and | had to
have my appointment of superintendent
of insurance confirmed. Mr.. Pierce was
democrat with many republican
friends in the senate. l felt sure that
this appointment would be confirmed,
so I appointed him, for that reason
morethan anything else"
AT the afternoon session former Gov
ernor Frank S. Black, General Benja-
min F. Tracy, former Judge John F.
Dillon, Delaney Nicoll and others tes-
titled before the committee that they
had known Mr.. Hill for many years,
that he ranked among the first men of
his profession and that the $4,000 yearly
retainer paid him by the Equitable was
a reasonable compensation for the ad-
vice and counsel he gave.
