Albany, n. Y, March 1b.--Judge An

night Of the report that his defense OF
his actions in connection with the New
York Life Insurance company would
be that the contribution of the COM
pany TO the Republican national COM
mittee In 1904 was duly passed upon
by the finance committee, said:

Judge Hamilton said that upon his
return 10 the city from New York yes
terday he found that on Monday morn
ing, after he had left for New York,
there was received at his Office a CON-
munication from the Fowler committee

ANDY HAM|LT0N'S
LINE OF DEFENSE.
Every Payment to Him Passed
Upon by New York Life Audit
ing Committee.
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
First Discussed by Finance Committee
OF Company aud Then Ordered
Paid.

New York, March l5.--The world
today says.
Before his departure for his home
In Albany yesterday Andrew Hamilton,
former legislative agent Of the New
York Life Insurance COMPANY settled
upon his line Of defense in the legal
actions ordered against him for restl-
tuition and accounting Of sums aggre-
eating nearly 100000.
"Hamilton's defense challenges tho
accuracy Of the Fowler investigation
committee which held the late John A.
Mccall and Hamilton alone response,
Bile for the s1,3i7,000 paid to the for
mer legislative agent out Of the funds
of the policyholders.
summarized, Hamilton's defense Is
as follows
First--That every payment made
to him except the S59,3l0 taken from
the profits OF the United States steel
syndicate and the Sl44, 500 drawn from
the Paris office was known BY. report
ed to and passed upon by the auditing
committee of the New York Life
Second-That every political con,
tribution made was first discussed 10y
the finance committee Of the company
and then directed to be- paid. No en-
Try of the political contributions was
made Ia the minute books 0f the
finance committee, the transactions be-
ing secret as far Ar the regular re-
cords OF the company are concerned
"Hamiltons contention that all tho
payments made to him with the two
exceptions above noted were reported
TO and passed upon by the auditins
committee is borne out by the bylaws
OF the company defining the duties
OF that committee.
"Hamiltons contention is that II
John A. Mccall was morally, legally
and financially responsible for the
company's moneys paid TO Hamilton,
every member of the auditing COM
mittee who passed upon the payments
IS equally responsible and should be
so held by the Fowler investigating
committee, which directed that suits
Tor recovery should be brought against
Hamilton and Mccall only
he also contends that II John A.
mccall or his estate Is responsible for
the political contributions made by the
New YORK, every member Of the finance
committee who sanctioned them Is
equally responsible and that In addi-
ton To ordering suits for recovery
against the Mccall estate, the Fowler
committee should order similar actions
against the responsible members OF tho
finance committee.
"A year ago when the contribution
of $4,000 was made by the New York
Life to the Republican national cam.
paign committee. which was working
for the election OF Theodore Roosevelt,
the finance committee was composed OF
the follving; Alexander r.. Orr, who
IS now president Of the company; John
G. Clafiin, George W. Perkins, John a.
Mccall, ex-oificio Edmund y. Ran
dolph, treasurer Of the company; John
), Kennedy, Woodbury. Langdon and
6. A. Morrison"

Concerning this section, Mr.. Tiliman

MANY WORK|NGMEN
TO SUPPLY NEEDS
OF THE BUILDERS
Story Of Scarcity
of TOilerS is
Denied.

In denial of the complaints Of build
ers and contractors of the scarcity of
mechanics and laborers. a representa-
tive Of State Labor Commissioner Stat
ford announced to the general commit
tee yesterday that q bureau OF regis
tration and employment had been
opened at the Hearst Grammar School.
He added that the bureau could fur
nish applicants with 1000 men within
six hours after notification.
Further he said that in employing
men In this way contractors and other
employers would be assured that they
were giving work to San Franciscans
who had suffered through the recent
catastrophe. He wished to make par
ticular note OF this, for the reason that
he had knowledge that idle men are
now coming into the city from the in
terror and displacing those who should
have the first call upon the considera-
tion OF capital. Many such had ap-
piled to his bureau for registration,
but had been refused. because 1t was
the desire Of Commissioner Stafford
that those citizens of the city who
were now dependent upon the relief
committee for subsistence should first
be provided for. He asked that each
member Of the committee of fifty use
his endeavors with contractors to en-
ploy needed help through this agency,
and that any attempt to induce men
to labor for less than the wages pre-
vailing before the fire be frowned
upon.
Judge Henshaw stated the sense of
the meeting In resolution to the ef-
feet that wages shall prevail as before
the catastrophe; secondly, that the
sufferers by the catastrophe be given
first choice in matters Of employment
and that for that purpose contractors
and other employers be asked to ap-
ply first to the State bureau at the
Hearst Grammar School; thirdly, that
this matter be given the widest pub
licity. The motion was adopted with
applause.

pearance OF Miss Bertha Muenter, sis
ter of Professor Erich Muenter, who
is charged with having poisoned his
wife, was solved last night when re-
porters located the young woman at

brothers whereabouts said Miss
Muenter. I am seeking him through
advertisements in the papers and in
every possible way that holds hope
of success. l am firmly OF my first
opinion that he is innocent of this
horrible accusation against him, and
believe if he can be found he can clear
himself OF the charge.
my visit to his former home In
Cambridge revealed nothing to indi-
cate bis guilt. His acquaintances
there repudiate the suggestion that
he could have killed his wife. Their
confidence In his innocence comes
from knowledge Of his home life and
the love he had for his wife and fam

Through a friend Miss Muenter
said she had engaged an attorney and
an expert chemist in Chicago, who
would represent him In any develop

"The inability of the police to 10

her desire to avoid notoriety. Instead
of returning to her home she went tc
