FULLY. EULOGIZES JOHN WC4LL.
The Senator Says Insurance bill VIII Pass
as IL Stands, Except SectlOi 9S.

rs IL Stands, Except SectlOi 9s.
ELMIRA, n. Y, March Ex-senator Tully
addressed the Current Topic Club here to-
night on the life insurance investigation, de-
scribing the scope Of the Armstrong COM
mittee and it's origin. He defended Gov.
Higgins for sincerity in delaying the legisla-
tive investigation until after the Hendricks
report on the Equitable. Eulogizing the
late John Mccall. he said
HE was the ablest insurance man who
came before US. His knowledge was mar
v~ellous, and at all times was he ready to
answer frankly questions propounded. AT
a private hearing he gave us information
which aided us in clearing up the mysteries
Of the system. He told us he appreciated
that our efforts would rid insurance cor
porations OF a pernicious evil, He made a
clean breast OF it and am sure was sincere.
As to Andrew Hamilton, who now has the
centre Of the stage. / hope he will keep
right On talking. He is shedding much new
light on the system"
The Senator said that although tremen-
dous influence for changes in the proposed
bill is being brought to bear by insurance
officers, including Paul Morton, the bill
will go through as 1t now stands, with the
exception of Section 9s, relating to com
%pensation of agents, which will be altered
in favor Of the agents.

Judge O'Sullivan positively.
Then Judge O'Sullivan dismissed the
Grand Jury. There was quite a stir in the
court, which Judge O'Sullivan Immediately
adjourned, although it was early in the
afternoon.
William Rand, Jr., counsel for the officers
Of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany indicted for forgery and larceny,
appeared before Judge O'Sullivan in
General Sessions yesterday and made
a motion to inspect the minutes of the
Grand Jury. He said he understood that
illegal evidence had been introduced and
his clients had no means OF knowing the
evidence against them, as there had been
no hearing before a Magistrate. He also
raised the point hat Lawyer Joseph, who
was counsel for the Mutual, had also acted
as counsel for the officers, and that it was
a question whether he could divulge in-
formation between counsel and client.
District Attorney Jerome opposed Mr..
Rand, who was formerly his chief of staff
He said that the officers, Frederick A: Burn
ham, George Bumham, DR., and George
D. Eldridge, had a chance to be heard,
but declined. Judge O'Sullivan reserved
decision until April 3.

KILEY is STILL IN HIDING.
SUPPOSED TO BE WITH FRIENDS
IN OR NEAR THIS CITY.

Belief Thai He VIII Disappear From This
vicinity for Good-Distrfet Attorney
Clarke Is Convinced That He Has
No jurisdiction In the Bfsamy Case.
The whereabouts Of Thomas w. Kiley;
the banker and hardware merchant Of
Brooklyn, who went into hiding on Wednes-
day afternoon directly after the story
of his career as a bigamist and his con-
fession of the same we're made public, still
remained undiscovered yesterday. OF the
many persons who might naturally be
supposed to know something Of the missing
mans whereabouts, not a single one would
admit any knowledge OF them. Nor have
the detectives who were detailed to find
him been able to trace him after his
departure from the North, Side Bank
in Williamsburg early Wednesday. His
letter sent to the cashier of the bank
on Thursday, rendering his resignation
as president, showed that he was alive
on that day, and not at q remote distance
from the bank. Very few persons now
entertain the suspicion that the astonish-
ing disclosures Of his double life had driven
him to suicide, and it is generally believed
that he is in hiding not far from the city,
celebrating with some close friends as
TO his future course. 1t is the impression
of one of his most intimate friends that he
VIII vino up MS business aualTB as rapidly
as possible and disappear from Brooklyn
for good.
The supposition that he was in conceal
ment at the house of Mrs. Colt, wife No. 2,
at 2i8 Brooklyn avenue was dispelled yes
terday by the emphatic statement both OF
Mrs Colt herself and her SON., Henry Colt
to the contrary. Mrs. Colt said
Il want it understood plainly that Mr..
Kiley is not here, He is not here and l do
not know where he is. Nor do we care to
know where he is. We are not interested
in him one way or the other"
Nothing in reference to Mr.. Kiley could be
learned at the Jefferson avenue house,
where he lived with wife No. and her two
sons. The latter said they knew nothing
whatever about their unole's movements.
1t was reported yesterday that Mrs.
Colt had retained a lawyer to bring suit for
the ennulment Of her marriage to Kiley.
District Attorney Clarke said last night
that he was convinced he had no iuris-
diction in the case, and il any prosecution
be instituted in Indiana, where the crime
was committed. Should the Indiana au-
thorities decide to prosecute, Mr.. Clarke
will cooperate by having Kiley arrested
and held to await ~extradition.
1t was discovered yesterday that Kiley
made some important real estate transfers
within the past twelve years which NAV
be declared void, as he described himself
as a bachelor.
The directors Of the North Side Bank
will meet this morning to act on Eiley's
resignation.

statements made by DR.. Frank E. Shaw

so far as it is concerned. 1t has a new
Governor and new leader of whom it
may we'll feel proud. All that the
American has said of him is true. We
have not eulogized him for campaign
purposes. He is an unusually strong
man, and unless he is great disap-
pointment he will make a Governor
worthy of the best traditions Of the
state.
We congratulate him, we congratu-
late the party, and the state, on the re-
suit of the election We are proud to
have had some hand in it, for we feel
that we have done the state some SER
vice. We desire to commend and to
congratulate the Democratic weekly
press of the state which rendered valu-
able service in behalf of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Patterson, as we
know, feels profoundly grateful to il
for its excellent work. - Nashville

PAYING EARTHQUAKE LOSSES.
Only Al Insurance Companies Paid in Full,
Promptly.

Only Al Insurance Companies Paid in Full,
Promptly.
The Chamber of Commerce of San
Francisco has not yet completed its
investigation iEto the insurance situa-
tion there, bnt enough is known now
to mske classification of the fire in
surance companies with respect to pay
ment and non payment OF losses due to
fires from the earthquake.
Interest in the settlement of these
losses is widespread and inquiries upon
the subject have been pouring into the
newspaper Offices, banks and business
houses there for months. Sufficient
evi ence is now at hand to supply
partial estimate of the companies which
held risks in San Francisco, but the
Chamber of Commerce prefers to wait
until the whole investigation is COM
plete before making any statement.
II is known, however, that. but forty
one companies out of the entire list
have paid their losses with anything
like promptness.
At the top Of the roll Of merit put the
Liverpool & London & Globe. They
asked for no concessions whatever from
the policy-holders and they even de-
clined to ask for per cent off for cash,
which the claimants would have been
glad to pay. The only criticism made
was by some of the insurance agents,
who thought that this company was en-
tirely too generous, Some of the other
dollar for dollar companies did the
same thing at times, but with the Liv.
erpool & London & Globe full amount
payments were made in every instance.
A close follower Of its example was the
California, California company.
This worthy com pany is represented
by R. G.. Hunter, of this city, and il
has assets 10 the United States of m ore
than $4,000, 900. Parties desiring in
surance johnson City will make nc
mistake to place it with R. @. Hunter.

A Sweeping Victory.

Returns show that it was COM
plete victory. Patterson is elected
governor by decisive majority, while
Hannah and Avent are elected railroad
commissioners. Every Democratic can
didate for congress of whom there was
any hope of election, has been elected; /;
the legislature is overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic; the legislative ticket in David
son county is elected by handsome
majority, in spite of its enemies with
knives; Patterson carries Davidson by
over 1900, and Hamilton county, the
home of Evans, gives Patterson ma
jority and elects a Democratic delega-
tion to the legislature. 1t was Dem
ocratic field day. The voters had made
up their minds what to do, and they
did it.
The fight which Mr. Patterson made
for the nomination; the convention
which nominated him; the campaign
he has made, and the election which
has made him governor, all have a sig
nificance, more than ordinary mean
ing. 1t means new day for Democ-
racy-a revivification and revitalizing
of the party, a renewal of its strength
and vigor, higher standard of meas
urement for men. If Gov. Patterson s
administration is what it promises to
be, no weakliDg can afford to follow
him, and the party will not be satisfied
with weskling.
As the smoke Of battle lifts, it is
seen that not only Republican dead lie
on the field. There are men who have
made profitable their professions Of
Democracy, who in resentment OF the
peoples conduct deserted the party in
its hour of need. These ingrates will
not be forge item. The party as awhole
is united and stronger than in many
years. When genuine Democrats and
real men engage in honest rivalry
however fierce, they learn principle
of party government which makes then
more valuable in the field of homes
contention and frmer friends i'll {

There is vast difference between these
and the professed Democrat who wheI
priced loose from the office deserts th'
party. The Democrat who is Demo
crat only as long as he is permitted t.
remain at the feed-trough is of no valu'
to the party. 1t is of this class tba

which bitterly resent criticism or dis

Malcom r. Patterson.

In August, 1905, Mr.. Patterson au-
nounced his candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor. At
that time he was practically unknown
to the voters Of Tennessee outside of
his own congressional district. He had
not attended a state convention in
eight years and had probably never
made political speech outside the con-
fines of the Tenth district. In an
nouncing his candidacy for the nomi.
nation, he boldly promulgated his plat.
form, net hesitating to criticise in the
severest terms policies inaugurated by
his party in the state
The story of the contest for the nom.
nation which eliminated in the storm
lest political gathering ever known in
Tennessee is familiar history. Mr..
Patterson made probably larger num-
ber of speeches than any candidate
who ever ran for governor, frequently
making as many as half dozen in
single county.
After disposiDg of the contested couD.
ties, the convention nominated Mr..
Patterson by acclamation. On Sept.
II he opened his campaign as the nom.

son mot the situation boldly and cour-
ageously, He exposed the frauds and
Hypocrisy of the Republican party aud
the record of its nominee. With con-
vincing elCquence he appealed to Dem
ocrats to stand by the party that had
done so much for the state. Never
once did he apologize for or retract a
single statement.
A unique feature of Patterson's elec
ton to the governorship is the fact that
his father came near being made the
party nominee for that Office in 1890,
which nominated John p. Buchanan.

was Bnchanan's nearest competitor. II
is also fact worthy of notice that Mr..
