MUTUAL TO QUIT FRANCE.
Step Forced by New Law Compelling In.
yestment OF Reserves In French Securities.

Step Forced by New Law Compelling In.
yestment or Reserves In French Securities.
The Mutual Life Insurance Company
has decided to discontinue writing new
business in France because OF the new law
in that country which oompels American
companies to invest the amount OF their
reserves in French securities. To comply
with the law the Mutual would ave to send
about 1925 900, 900 to France INC that, it has
been decided, would entail too great a loss
in interest on investments. On money in
vested in French securities the company
would derive an income of only 8 per cent,
or perhaps less, while it's American invest
ments pay 4 or ~ per cent. The amount
of insurance which the Mutual Life has
outstanding in France is estimated at more
than $50, 900, 600.
The law which Ia responsible for the
Mutual's withdrawal was passed a little
over a year ago.. The question arose at
once whether it was retroactive. If it
was not the American companies were
perfectly willing to go on and meet the new
requirements. The Counoil Of State handed
down a decree only a few weeks ago hold
ing that the law Is retroactive.
The New York Life and the Equitable,
both OF which do a large business in France,
haven't decided definitely what attitude
they will take. The New York Life, if it
complies with the law, will have to put up
between SIS, 900, 900 and $40, 900, 900. The
reserve on the E~quitable's policies In France
amounts to about $1l 900 900, but that COM
pany has O very large amount invested in
rea! estate in Paris, and 30 is in a much
stronger position with reference to the new
requirements than either Of the other COM
panies.
The business OF most Of the American
companies in France has been very profit
able, having been obtained at q relatively
low cost. The enactment OF the present
law has always been regarded by American
insurance men "a the eliminating effort on
the part OF the French companies to impair
the business OF American companies in
France. Most OF the French companies are
stock corporations Offering only straight
life policies and dividing h earnings up
among the stockholders. The American
companies when they entered the field
offered participating policies, and conse-
have the law enacted were made several
years, ago and the American companies car
RED on a campaign against 1t. 1t was in
the interest Of this campaign that James
Hazen Hyde gave his noted dinner to Jules
Cambon, the FrenchAmbassador at Sherry's
n the winter OF 1908. .
Vice-president McClintock Of the Mutual
Is in France now, and Paul Morton, presi-
dent Of the Equitable, is on his way there to
look into the situation. Tn Mutual, Life
will undoubtedly maintain Offices in France
to look after the interests OF the present
French ~policyholders,

$6,OOOOF HERLONG
OHIO WIDOW HAS ROBERT GIL
MORE LOCKED UP.

He Helped Her Lose OF, 800 on the Races
and Then, She Says, Helped Himself TO
n Roll Twice AZ Large at the Track on
Suburban Day and Lost Her There.
Mrs. Laura Bunert, an Ohio widow with
sporting instincts, took a suite at the
Hotel Cadillac some six weeks ago. She
had not been there long before she ran into
a youth named Robert Gilmore, whom
she had met some time before at Lexington.
Ky. Mrs. Bunert says that she got into
the habit OF entrusting her young friend
with none to bet on the races. Last
night he was locked up in Police Head
quarters charged with getting away with
5000 Of Mrs. Bunert's cash.
Gilmore is said to have we'll to do rela-
tives in st. Louis and Mrs. Bunert started
for that city a few days ago when she found
it impossible to lay hands on the young
man here. Before leaving she told Detec-
tives Bonnoil and Petrosino a story which
they incorporated into their complaint
against Gilmore when they took him to
Headquarters last night. The story runs
thus:
Gilmore, who gives his present address
as The Whitney" Gravesend, impressed
Mrs. Bunert strongly because OF his evil
dent knowledge OF racing. He has dark
curly hair and a flowing mustache.
Mrs. Bunert's husband left her money,
mainly in Ohio oil lands.
Gilmore gave her some racing advice,
she says, which opened her eyes, and she
decided. to let him manipulate her cash
account. Within three weeks she found
herself 81, 800 to the bad. All she had left
in her bank account here was IS, 900, and this
she resolved to hang on to-.
But Gilmore persuaded her that he had
something good for the Suburban, run a
week ago Thursday, Cedarstrome, a 90 to l
shot. His protestations Of inside knowl-
edge" concerning Cedarstrome's chances
persuaded Mrs. Bunert, by her own story
to draw out her IS 900 with the intention OF
going to the track to see the race.
Gilmore called on her Thursday morning,
and she showed him, she says, the IS 900 in
her satchel. She had occasion to leave
him alone for a few moments and when
she came back, as the detectives recount her
demonstrated, but Gilmore assured her that
1t was all right; he had secreted the money
about his person because her satchel looked
too tempting for piokpockets. He took
stand seats. He left her to place a small
bet on the first race and she has not seen
him since.
She reported her troubles to Police Head
quarters and Bonnoil and Petrosino got
Gilmore at Sh%eepshead Bay yesterday
afternoon. He denied at first that he was
Gilmore, but when confronted with a pho
tograph given to the detectives by Mrs.
Bunert he made admissions which. brought
about his immediate arrest.
Mrs. Bunert, being temporarily hard up,
left the Cadillac to board with a friend, but,
bent On finding Gilmore, she raised enough
money a few daysago to pay her fare to st.
Louis, where, she says, Gilmore's father
is the owner Of a chain Of quick lunch res
taurants. She does not complain about
the loss of the first 81, 800, only of the 5000
which she char ges him with stealing.

his testimony when the Coroner arrived.
