Simultaneous with the order a Letter
was received at headquarters from
Mark Twain himself
1t is letter Of mingled wit, clever
ness and sarcasm, and 1t is said u be
a classic in itself. In this letter the
author of Tom Sawyer" and Huckle-

of the library authorities IN placing
the ban of restriction upon these two

lection. Friday afternoon al 2.3O O'Clock
was finally fixed by Justice Greenbaum
for the hearing of the legal arguments
on the question.
The warrant for Mr.. Perkins arrest
was applied for yesterday by District
Attorney jerome. Magistrate Moss would
not act, however, until affidavits were
filed in the case. These were presented
to him today. They We're signed by Gar
vim f. kingley, vice president Of the
New York Life; Edmund ID. Randolph.
treasurer Of the company, and by Thomas
"A. Buckner. also a vice president.
Mr.. Perkins counsel admitted to Justice
Greenbaum that Mr.. Perkins had advanc-
request of the late John A. Mccall. pres
idcnt of the New York Life. He was af-
terward reimbursed through the action of
the company's finance committee. 1t WAS
contended that Mr.. Mccall had executive
authority to order the payment and that
if any crime was committed il was par
ticipated in by every member of the fl
nance committee present when the mat
ter was acted upon.
Despite the action of Mr.. Jerome in
applying for warrant for Mr.. Perkins
and thus taking the matter to the high
er courts of the state, Judge O'Sullivan
in the court of special sessions today
again addressed the grand jury which is
considering insurance matters and in
structed them that it was their duty I"
continue the investigation to the end. He
told the grand jurors it was within their
Il
ney subpoena witnesses to be examined
before them in any matter that they may
have under consideration. Robert A.
Granniss and Walter r. Gillette, as vice
presidents and trustees, and Elbrdge IT.
Gerry as trustee of the Mutual Life In
surance Co. today rendered their resigna-
tions at a meeting of the board of trustees
of that company. They were accepted. A
report of the Truesdale investigating
committee was received and ordered
printed, but no other action was taken
on it.
The affidavits on which Magistrate Moss
acted in issuing the warrant for Mr.. Per-
kins' arrest were forwarded to the SUI
preme court tonight on n writ of cert TO-
rari. The statements sworn to by Vice
ItSiutHt NlIlSSiey gives SbIie Ol tlle ut-
