the corpse at his own expense, and
the two clergymen, who were on the
scaffold on Friday when Hoch was
hanged, vainly tried to ind a burial

\ The authorities Of Waldheim GEM
etery refused to allow Hoch to be
buried there, as did the officials of
Forest Home cemetery and those of
st. Lucas cemetery.
Cemetery after cemetery was asked
by telephone to permit the burial Of
Hoch. but all of them refused, say
ing that the owners of cemetery lots
objected to the interment of murder
ers.
II was not expected that objection
would be offered at Waldheim, as in
that cemetery, Spies, Parson, Engel,
and Fischer, the executed anarchists,
are buried but the officers of the
Waldheim cemetery were adamant.
They declared that the burial of the
anarchists had brought unpleasant
notoriety.
After repeated efforts to secure a
final resting place for the body OF
Hoch in one of the city cemeteries,
the two clergymen finally despaired
and shortly before noon the body
was inferred In the potter's field ad-

REFORMS FOR
( INSURANCE
Long Expected Report of the
4 New York Committee
Has Been Filed.
END OF THE INVESTIGATION
Stills Are Laid Before the Legislature
Embed ing the Reforms Which
the Committee Feels Should Be
Made.

New York, Feb. 23.-The report
OF the joint committee of the senate
and the assembly of the state of New
York, appointed to Investigate the
affairs Of the life insurance compan-
les, covers printed pamphlet of 312
pages.
There are fifteen companies organ
tied under the laws OF New York is
suing level premium policies and in
single instance only the committee
departed from the policy of limiting
b its investigation to companies organ
lied under the laws of New York.
This company was the Prudential
Life Insurance company Of New Jer-
sey.
The matters demanding the consid-
grafton of the legislature for the pur-
pose of remedying existing evils and
Of establishing more securely the
business of life insurance in this state
are grouped under the following
heads:
Organization Of life insurance
corporations.
2.-Control, or the rights of policy
holders in the election of directors.
3.-Retirement Of stock.
/4-Investment including syndicate
rArticipations.
F5.-Limitation of new BUSINESS.
6.-Political contributions.
Lobbying.
Stimulation of expenses.
9.-valuation of policies.
10.-Rebates.
11.-Surrender values.
2.-Ascertainment and distribution
Of surplus.
13.-Remedies of policy holders, or
right to resort to the courts.
14.-Forms of policies.
15.-Publicity and state super
vision.
16.-Penalties.
The committee recommends that
Article III of the insurance law be
so amended as to permit the forma'
ton without capital stock to transact
the business of life insurance and for
such other purposes as are authoriz'
ed to be connected Herewith in the
case Of stock corporations; provided
at least 500 persons have subscribed
to become members therein in the ag
gregate amount of at least S1,000,000
to be insured upon their lives and
shall have each paid in one full an
nual premium in cash upon the in
surance subscribed for, and provided
further that it shall make the same
deposits with the superintendent OF
insurance that are required of stock
corporations formed for similar pur
poses.
Contributions by insurance cor
porations for political purposes
should be strictly forbidden. The
committee recommends the passage
of an unequivoeal and drastic mea
sure to remedy this evil. Not only
should 1t be expressly prohibited and
treated as a waste of corporate mon
eys, but any officer, director or agent
making authorizing or consenting tc
any such contribution should be gull
ty of a misdemeanor and the pro
hibition should be extended to all
corporate contributions of this char
acter Nothing disclosed by the in
$estigation deserves more serious at
tention than the systematic efforts
of the large insurance companies to
control large part of the legisla.
ton of the state.
Enormous sums have been ex.
pended in surreptitious manner.
Irregular accounts have been kept to
conceal the payments for which prop
er vouchers have not been required.
