SHOULD BE INELIGIBLE.
HamiItOn's Recommendation as to ln-
 surance Trustees.

surance Trustees
 Albany, N. r., March 1S.-Judge An drew Hamilton said tonight that he expected to go to New York tomorrow to remain two or three days He would not say what were his intentions as to his visit or whether he would see any member of the Fowler committee which has been Investigating the in- ternaI affairs of the New York Life Company.
 Friends of Judge Hamilton here ex- press doubt as to his going before the committee. questioning the proprlety or his submitting himself to men whom he has characterized as he did the New York Life trustees in his speech before the Legislative committee last week.
 Judge Hamilton tonight expressed the opinion that when the bills pro- posed by the Armstrong committee arc reported they should contain a pre- vision that no trustee legislated out of office next November as recommended by the committee shall be eligible Tor reelection until full year has elapsed.
 aThe propriety of this Is obvious D said Judge Hamilton. and l believe g demand for it is coming to head. You know we have adopted from the English common law the precaution that no sheriff can be reelected until a term of service has elapsed. The theory is. and 1t applies equally to d trustee of life insurance company that the sheriff exercises such an im- mense power that he could at Will command his reelection. So with these trustees-they are in position which would enable them by favoring one and prosecuting another. to command proxies to secure their reelection, IT fhev should see fit
 ''This should be prevented by mak- ing their reelection Illegal. note that some of these gentlemen in New York say they do not know me. It certainly seems strange that any man should be in q position to spend very large sums of the money of which they are the legal guardians during long term of years and yet be totally un- known to them.'

his majesty takes the deepest interest.
IL is now practically decided that the

by the new. curator, Hugh Baker. The
spurious paintings were housed in a
building which cost $100. 90. and were
heavily insured, one faxed "Old Mas
ter" which was insured for $500, being
Of less value than its frame.
Sir William Holburne, who gave the
collection TO the city, was a retired
naval officer. with plenty OF money. and
a mania for collecting pictures. and no
discrimination. He is said 10 have
