For the Money.
New York City.-The Fowler Inves-
tigating Committee of the New York
Life Insurance Company made its first
report to the company's Trustees. The
committee says that grand total Of
81, 347, 1924 New York Life Insurance
Company money went into or through
the hands of Andrew Hamilton from
the beginning Of his service in 1892
down to the end Of 1905. The report
is a special one, preliminary to the re-
ports that are to be made on other
phases Of the past management Of the
New York Life. The investigators
spared neither detail nor language in
the criticism of the way in which the
New York Life's Bureau of Legisla-
tom has been conducted
The report, however, went beyond

ton of suits to determine the legality
Of payments amounting to $1,074,-
U480. and the Trustees of the COM
pany without dissent adopted the re-
port and its recommendations. The
1886, 900 that ex-President John A. Nc
Call paid back when he resigned, and
$37 ,60761 of Hamilton's salary and
expenses from 1892 to 1905, which is
not questioned, make up the balance of
the grand Hamilton total. OF this
amount payments aggregating $743,-
1875 were traced on the books of the
company, and payments Of 1904, 1877. 20
were dug up from various sources and
did not appear on the books at all ex-
cept in various bookkeeping totals,
which indicated nothing of their true
purpose.
: Since the report received the prompt
and unanimous endorsement Of the
Board Of Directors, that recommends
ton now has the force of an order, and
it means that suits must be immedl-
ately instituted to test the accountable
ity not only of Judge Andrew Ham
ilton, but also of John A. Mccall and
of George w. Perkins, the company's
late President and Vice President. re-
Spectively
In addition to the large sums which
Charles 3. Hughes inquistion showed
never had been properly accounted for
the Fowler committee has added a
brand new chapter from the eompanys
Paris office, where it has found en-
tered under the head of Policy Fee
Account remittances of $4,000 to
John A. Mccall and of $134, 500 to An
drew Hamilton since the year 1900.
Neither in the home office nor in the
Paris branch has the Fowler commit
tee been able to discover any clew to
indicate why these sums were drawn
or for what purpose they were ex-
pended
Throughout, the report discredits ex-
plantations previously made by Mccall
and Hamilton. Money which Mccall
testified was paid to Hamilton on BUSH
ness of the company was, according
to the report, used in many instances
by Hamilton personally One such in
stance is the payment of Sill, 1904 on
June 6, 1904, to Hamilton by Mccall
for the alleged purpose Of meeting
State taxes Hamilton actually used
only $3.50, 1900, leaving a balance of
$4,000, which he never returned nor
accounted for.

being of an economical turn of mind
has discovered further that calendars

1906.
AS rule, of course, a calendar is
only of use eleven years later, and leap
year upsets this calculation pretty Of

lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and
grown-ups can play with their wits and
see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
box containing $1,000 gold piece
10 people will each win one box con-

800 people will each win box con-

A few rules are necessary for abso-

plural can be used, as for instance
''graper and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape- Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words In alphabetical
classes. all those beginning with A to,
together and those beginning with E to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A, f.
and other columns ~ I'LL in later as new
words come to you. for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con.
testants will tie with others. In such
cases prize Identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each Each
one will be requested TO send with the
list OF words plainly written letter

of annoyance, for 1t used to drown
folk on the beach and the servants
wouldn't pass under 1t at night. Any
thing dead that happened to be float

just there and roost in that particu-
