MCALL ISSUES DEFENCE.
Speaks, Through Son, for Himself
and Andrezc Hamilton.

John A Mccall. ex-president Of the New-York
Life Insurance Company. sent from what may
be his deathbed last night defence of his own
work in the company and of his relations with
Andrew Hamilton. The statement was made
late yesterday afternoon his son. John c. Nc
Call, and others gathered in the death chamber
and was passed on by Mr.. Mccall TO a group
of reporters in the lobby of the Laurel House
an hour or later.
IF it's Gods will I'm ready 70 60 Mr. Nc
Call told his son. I've lived a clean life I've
lived my life I saw it. No man. woman or
child can say that ever wronged them"
This the family note made public
Pressed to- make known whether his father
made any reference to Hamilton. young Mr..
Mccall said:
My father has the greatest love and conf
dence for Mr. Hamilton. There was nothing
wrong In Mr.. Hamitons relations with my
father or the company. So great is his trust in
Mr.. Hamilton that if he were TO make his will
to-day he would name him one of the execu-
tors.
1T was on my suggestion that went abroad
to see Mr.. Hamilton Father agreed with me.
I brought back report, as you already know.
and though father was quite i'll at the time. that
report rallied him very much He got brighter
and kept so for several days"
What are the facts in the current rumors
regarding your fathers great wealth." he was
asked
My father is not a wealthy man. was the
reply. AT least he has no fabulous wealth.
He drew a big salary. but lived up to 1t. Be-
sides. he paid s25.OO0 a year for premiums on
his life to the New-York Life Insurance Com
pany. Here let me add something: When my
father offered TO make restitution for certain
discrepancies in Mr. Hamilton's account he did
that against the protest of the board Of trustees
of the company. They protested against his
going on the stand to make such an Offer
rs it true" Mr.. Mccall was asked. that your
fathers Ill health was hastened somewhat by
the Hamilton AFFAIR.""
Absolutely no." replied Mr. Mccall with great
vigor.
Mr.. Mccall said late last night. also. that his
father would not recover. He said the entire
family except his mother realized the serious
ness oe his condition, and would not be surprised
at his death at any moment. Mrs. Mccall, how
ever, is not acquainted with the alarming condt-
ton of her husband and she still confidently
hopes that he may survive his present troubles
The attending physicians have decided that
the patient is suffering from acute liver COM
plaint but of what peculiar kind they not
yet certain. DR.. Lindley said he would probably
outlive the night. but that there was little hope
of ultimate recovery.
Father Richard Crane of ST. MichaePs. West
End N J., Mr.. McCalTs pastor. called last night
and remained with the dying man for nearly an
hour.
There is no immediate danger" Father Crane
said. He is not unconscious, is his intel
lect impaired. I believe he will keep his mind
intact to the end, come when IL will
Young Mr.. Mccall also denied ruInors that
his fathers mind had been impaired

PRESIDENT AND RATES.
WANTS LAW FAIR TO ALL.
Not Committed to Any Particular
Measure-Tie7o of 4ppeal to Courts.

Washington. Feb. 14-lIembers Of Congress
who have spoken with President Roosevelt
lately on the subject of railroad rate legsla-
ton assert that his attitude on the important
subject has by no means undergone any recent
change in regard to the provisions OF the bill
he wishes placed on the statute books.
The speech made by Senator Lodge. OF Massa-
chusetts. which many construed as an emana-
ton from the White House. was the expression
solely of Mr.. Lodges personal views. He did
not intend to convey the impression that he was
speaking ''for the President when he made GER
tain remarks about the proper kind OF rate
control. and, while the President himself has
not taken the trouble TO disavow Senator Lodge
.as his spokesman. he has certainly not given
any one authority TO believe that the Massa-
chusetts Senator was expressing bis views. The
mere fact that the President and Mr.. Lodge
are warm personal friends. II Is held, should
not give all Mr. Lodges uttersnces on the floor
the character OF oracular Presidential pronounce
ments
In regard to the bill which the President pre-
fers, those who have conferred with him within
the last day or two say that he likes the Hep
burn measure better than any thus far intro
duced. But, at the same time. if better one
were drawn the President would feel free TO
accept It as a more complets expression OF his
views. 1t is understood that Senator Knox, ot
Pennsylvania, is preparing an amendment To
the Dolliver bill which, he believes, viii carry
out the Presidents ideas. but he has not yet
brought the text 10 the White House.
AS the President has said ever since the be-
ginning Of the session Of Congress. he has not
made up his mind 1rrevocably on any individual
measure or any hard and fast provision IN the
proposed bill To say. therefore. that he has
declared himself "for this bill or against that
is misstatement OF facts. The President wants
a law that Is fair to the railroads and at the
same time will give the shippers, large and
small full justice.
Regarding the much mOoted question OF ap-
peal the President IT Is understood. wishes that
the bill shall provide that the Interstate Com
merce Commissions rate shall stand until passed
on by the federal courts. The only cause for
an appeal that ought to be provided for In the
bill would if the Presidents ideas prevail, be
the estimate Of a rate which IN the long run
| would amount to confscation of railroad prop
erty The President is believed to be opposed
| TO the suggestion advanced by some Of the bill
/ makers that whenever an appeal Is brought the
old rate shall stand until adjudicated. the rail-
road in the mean time paying into court the diff
| ference between the commission made schedule
| and the old rate. The President is also said to
| be opposed 10 placing the final decision in the
| hands OF a jury, believing that federal Judges
will handle the cases with greater fairness, both
10 the corporations and the public
