 Commenting today upon MT. McCalfs death. Hamilton said that he gave for mer president of the New York Life vouchers for all expenditures and that q to any and all of these vouchers Mr Mccall would have given certificate of iiudisputahle character, He said that he registered under an assumed name on fhe Deutschland in order to have his return voyage free rom an noyance
 T have something to say,r he said, but not much. know practically noth- ing as to the nature of the Fowler re- port. It will be time enough for me to tsIk about 1t when l have become familiar with it.
 What suppose you want to know is why I have returned. We'll, heard something about criminal proceedings. and here I am. This signifies that though my health is far from re-estab- lished, am ready to accept any ehal- lenge implied by such proceedings. As to my health. let mo add that there is no necessity for any resort to hc- tion. am fortunate to be alive after all that has happened, but am not so fortunate otherwise
 q am especially unfortunate in the death of MT. Mccall, and might say alrooaf as much concerning the more recent removal Of Lyman Short, chief counsel of the Mutual, to say nothing of the incapacitating of MT. Alexap' der. To some who have gone I could have looked with no mtsgivings as to what they would say or do.
 "As to what others have said ans done during my absence-and, l might allude to those who live in glass hous- es--I will say nothing"
 "You have come back to face the music?" he was asked
 "Yes. discordant or otherwise"
