LONDON, Dec. Il.-When the case Of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York against ID. C.. Haldeman and the
North British and Mercantile Insurance
Company was resumed to-day Mr.. Duncan,
foreign manager Of the Mutual. was cross
examined by Rufus lsaacs, X. e.. He
stated that he saw the following cablegram
from Alfred Harmsworth lord North
cliffe) on December 8 last year;
Am insured in the Mutual for ESP 900.
Therefore | do not desire TO injure the
company. But unless assurance is given
in a week that a known and practical man
will be elected president shall join and
lead the immense body of the dissatisfied
and handle the matter in all my papers"
In reply Haldeman, in London, received
a cablegram reading;
Have received cablegram from HARMS
worth. You are expected TO keep him
quiet"
Mr.. Isaacs read a letter from Haldeman
10 Duncan urging him to send Informal
ton that he might satisfy the British policy
holders, and saying;
IF Peabody is appointed president and
il in close touch with the Morgans we are
laying ourselves open to were criticism
here. II the company il 10 go outside it
would be better TO choose a man like ChOate,
a man whom everybody knows and re-
spects. To appoint IN outsider who ia
not an insurance man, who is unknown out
side of America, and who is even remotely
connected with the Morgans, that is court
ing disaster. | was delighted to be told by
Juilliard that he was not connected with
the Morgans and that it is absolutely I'M
true that Ryan and Stillman are getting
any control. But this is not confirmed by
the New York papers, and l arm greatly
anxious
Duncan, on further cross-examination,
admitted that he had not sent Haldeman
information at the time he was pressing
for it. The reason he did not was that the
investigation was still going on and that
he was astonished at the testimony.
In the course OF a long cross-examination
Duncan stated that Haldeman in Deem
Der sent him a letter of which he enclosed
three copies, asking him to give them to
three members Of the T~ruesdale commit
tee. Those members were Truesdale, Attn
gan and Stuyvesant Fish. Witness sent
the letter to the agency committee and not
10 the Truesdale committee, because Trues-
dale was a member of both. The other
members OF the Truesdale committee never
saw that letter at all.
Mr.. Isaac pressed the witness az TO why
he did not inform Haldeman that he had
not delivered the letter as asked to the
Truesdale committee. Witness replied that
he did not tax his orders from Haldeman.
and he sent it to the agency committee
because he thought that was the proper
body to deal with il.
Mr.. Isaacs said that as a man of honor
Haldeman was entitled to suppose that
the letter went where he had asked that
it should be sent.
Witness declined TO accept this view
in a business matter.

LONDON, Dec. l1.-If the Suffragettes
who were recently imprisoned In Holloway
Jail for creating disturbances achieved
nothing else, they can at least boast of
having won a gorgeous feed at the Savoy
Hotel, where their admirers held a dinner
in their honor tonight h menu was
elaborate. The dishes were perfectly served,
but a woman is a woman. even il she is a
~Suffragette, and there was the usual femi-
nine unpunctuality in arriving, which
delayed the dinner thirty-fve minutes.
This tended 20 spoil the triumphs of the
Savoy's chef, but the released prisoners
and their supporters were too radiantly
happy in their best frocks and iewelry to
be daunted by mere spoiled dishes. A male
reporter, arriving in the reception room
punctually, was seized by the first woman
who saw him and compelled to admire
the visible beauties of the ladies who a
managed to get there on time.
Now aren't there some you could easily
fall in love with" she exclaimed gushingly.
The mans reply was too obvious to need
repetition.
With the exception Of a sprinkling Of
strong minded, desperately earnest femin-
lists the company we're as gay and as
gorgeously apparrelled and bejewelled
as any in a West End drawing room, and the
consciousness Of their charms was Just as
apparent. The president, the learned po-
litical economist, Mrs. Fawcett, whom the
POSTMASTER described as Madam, the
Chairman sparkled with rubies and dia-
monds.
In the course OF her speech she declared
the s~uffragettes had done nothing sensa-
tional, adding that she understood the
newspaper men at their meetings grumbled
at this, saying that if the women would
only stand on their heads they would have
something to write about. She thought
the result OF the agitation could be summed
I'D In the words OF a lady who said to her:
Il was lukewarm before. Now am boil
ing. What car / do?"
Elizabeth Robins toasted the ex-prisoners
in an excellent speech, the kernel of which
was that it was better that the world should
he shocked than stand still. The parlia-
mentary vote, she said, was the working
mans best weapon, and 50 per cent. Of the
women Of Great Britain we're working
women. They had looked at the world long
enough from mans viewpoint, A soft, low
