DEWITT J. SELIGMAN.
Il was by his work as attorney for the
Armstrong committee Of the New York
Legislature, which investigated the BUSH
ness methods Of the large life insurance
companies. that Mr.. Hughes came to be
best known. Before that he bad been
counsel for the Stevens Assembly COMMITTEES,
which investigated the charges made by
gas companies. His work there put him
forward as the man for the insurance in
~vestigation. The work with this committee
put him in touch with Senator Alfred Page,
Hho got to know the calibre Of Mr.. Hughes.
In the nego tiations carried on with Mr..
Hughes to induce him to become the noml-
nee Of the party senator Page acted for
Herbert Parsons and in behalf OF President
Roosevelt.
The insurance Investigations were begun
in September, 1905, practically a year be-
tore the nomination for the ~Governorship.
They came to an end in January, last.
officially, after Mr.. Hughes, backed by
public opinion, had caused many things
to be made public that the insurance COM
panies considered II necessary to keep
secret. The many events Of the insurance
investigation are still fresh in the public
mind, the effects having not " yet ceased.
Persons who had the interests OF the COM
munity at heart said that Mr.. Hughes had
done a great good by his work. After the
sessions Of the committee Mr.. Hughes
employed practically all his time in drafting
the new laws OF insurance company reRl-
lation which grew out Of the Investigation.
For his services as ~inquisitor in the insur-
ance matters Mr.. Hughes received only
$4,000.
Mr.. Hughes was fairly worn out with
the work. He was eager 70 take q trip
TO Europe for rest, but he decided 10 re-
main in this country until the legislation,
which he rad had the chief part In framing,
known as the Armstrong laws, had become
part OF the statutes OF the State.
In the meantime he was besieged with
offers n become oounse for various COM
panies into whose Affairs he had delVed
but made him a proposition TO act for them.
These offers he refused. In April last
President Roosevelt caused his appoint
ment as one Of the special counsel OF the
Department Of Justice 20 ascertain whether
prosecutions against Interstate coal carry
ing roads snould be begun under the anti
trust and anti-rebate laws. At the time
Of the appointment Mr.. Hughes went TO
Washington and met the President, who
thanked him for agreeing TO accept the
appointment Since then Mr.. Hughes has
been engaged, together with Alexander
Simpson, Jr., OF Philadelphia, in the work
with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
IL was not until July that Mr.. Hughes
was able TO get away 20 Europe: He sailed
on July . 70 visit Norway, Sweden and
Switzerland in company with his son,
Charles Z. Hughes, Jr. u had besn said
since January that Mr.. Hughes would be

Magistrate Sweetser Couldn't.
When Capt. Schlottman OF the Tenderloin
police station raided an alleged poolroom
known as Fox's at 100 West T~hirty-frst
street on September 5 he was confident
he had a good case against the three men
arrested, as two OF his men had been in the
place several times. The prisoners, John
Morris, William Burton and Tom Mock
were, however, discharged the next day
in the Jefferson Market police court. Magis-
trate Sweetser said there wasn't enough
evidence to held them.
Capt. Schlottman went down to see Com
missioner Bingham about the matter,
confident that he had sufficient evidence
to convict the prisoners. The Commits
sioner was interested and took the matter
to District Attorney jerome, with the re-
suit that the detectives in the case were
summoned before the Grand Jury.
Judge Foster Of General Sessions issued
yesterday bench warrants for the three
men. They were served yesterday. The
prisoners were arraigned before Judge
Foster, who held them In 81 900 bail each.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2o.--Text Book OF
Labor's Political Demands" is the title
Of a do cument just issued by authority
OF the executive council Of the American
Federation OF Labor. Labor's grievances
ire gone into in great detail and a brief
history is given OF the efforts made to secure
the passage OF certain bills before Congress.
One Of the striking declarations is that the
right Of petition has been denied to Gov
m employees by order of President
Roosevelt. On this point the text book
says:
Recently the President issued an order
f~orbidding any and all Government en-
ployees upon The pain Of instant dismissal
from the Government service to petition
Congress for any redress OF grievances
or for any improvement in their condition.
Thus the constitutional right of citizens TO
petition must be surrendered by the Gov

obtain or retain his employment"
