INSURANCE AGENTS PROTEST.
CONDENN ARMSTRONG REPORT
AT THEIR ANNUAL DINNER.

Say the Agency Departments VIII BE Put
Out Of business n Recommendations
Become Law-Thclr side Not Heard
Conservative Talk by a Morton.
The annual dinner Of the Life Under
writers Association at the Hotel Savoy
last night resolved itself into a spirited
protest meeting against the recommends
tions of the Armstrong insurance COM
mittee. More than 200 of the most PROM
inent life insurance agents in this city at
tended.
Speakers from the agency ranks COM
D aimed bitterly that no opportunity had
been afforded them by the Armstrong COM
mittee to present their side Of Reinsurance
situation. They complained that an effort
was being made to l~egislate them out OF a
livelihood. They appealed in the name
of God to the press to give them a square
deal.
Reference to the committees recon-
mendations affecting agents we're greeted
several times with boots M jeers. Presi-
dent Paul Morton Of the Equitable Life,
President Peabody of the Mutual and
several other officers of New York COM
panies were present, but their remarks in
regard to the legislative committees recon-
mendations were conservative.
T. Reid Fell, the newly elected president
OF the association, was toastmaster. Among
others at the speakers table, besides Mr..
Morton and Mr.. Peabody, were John Tat
lock, president of the Washington Life
Insurance Company; Gage E, Tarbell,
vioe-president OF the Equitable Life; Emory
MoClintock, actuary Of the Mutua! Life,
and the Rev. DIR. Robert Mackenzie.
j.. Carlton Ward. the retiring president,
said tina the life insurance companies have
been the victims Of a band OF political
grafters who have fed on trust funds" In
surance agents, he said, wanted no crooks,
charlatans or shysters' in their company.
In his opinion the Legislature was about to
construct an insurance automaton. why
not turn attention next to the missionary
field and construct an automatic missionary
to convert the heather in Central Africa?
William @. johnson proposed q silent
toast to James w. Alexander and John A.
Mccall. He referred to neither by name,
but it was perfectly we'll understood whom
he meant. They were men who had done
something to build up the life insurance
business. One lay sick and helpless on his
bed and the other had passed before a
Judge whose decision may be more just
than that rendered here below" No ref
erence was made to Richard A. McCurdy.
Charles j. Edwards, one OF the most
prominent general agents, predicted that
If the Armstrong committee recommended
lions are adopted every agency organiza-
ton of every life insurance company in
this State will be destroyed. He described

THAT WAS A 60 MILE GALE,
With Gusts at Intervals Fit TO Break Your
Neck-Erra attic storm.

The peculiar architectural hooks and COR
ners of the town gave the stranger within
our gulches yesterday the impression that
we manufacture whirlwinds, tornadoes and
other assortments of wild airs here
abouts. 1t was not so much the ferceness
Of the blast that was responsible for the
minor staggering offshoots as its persistency
1t was all day long a gale from the north
west, and for three hours in the late after
noon it blew steadily at the rate of sixty
miles an hour.
This sort Of a gale, after it ricochets in
chimneylike ravines on several corners,
becomes SO queer Inc improper that only
skirts that nave leaden anchors will stay
down. The result was that all craft with
full sail had a hard time making the wind
ward mark, displaying other marks. mean
while, that no gentleman would stop to look
at.
It was a very freakish wind and mighty
strong at certain corners. Frederick s.
Brooks of Detroit, a guest at the Neither
land was bowled over just after he left the
hotel and broke his leg. He was carried
back into the hotel and attended by a'physi-
clan. Bernard Smith, a truck driver, who
was passing Waverley place and Tenth
street started to lift a blanket from his
horses, when a gust caught the blanket
and him and swept him into the street.
He fell on his head and his skull was frac-
tured. Many windows at corners where
the wind was strongest were shatter ed by
heavy puffs.
The cause OF the disturbance was the
unusual conduct Of a Pacific bred storm
that dipped down into Arkansas on Mon
day morning and then. regardless OF prece-
dents established 10y the Weather Bureau,
ran up again. into Missouri. Kentucky,
across Virginia and into the Atlantic. The
thing expected Of il was that IL should
nave piped out TO sea by way OF the st.
Lawrence Valley. AS It passed Of. il
dragged down a temperature of IL degrees
and the wild Northwestern that upset Things
and folks in this neighborhood.

Park-ResCuer Gets PneumOnia.
Max Mayer, a dealer In window shades

are prohibited from walking on the lake
owing to the unsafe condition Of the loo.
The guards, who are supposed 10 be sta

golf house nearby. They didn't see Mayer
walk out on the ice and they were only
aroused by his cries after he had broken
through and was struggling in the centre
of the lake, where the water 10 twenty feet

Henry Turgis, superintendent Of the golf
links, together with an assistant, William
Bolang, set out to rescue Mayer. They
couldn't get nearer than twenty feet from
him, as the ice was cracking even where
they lay on their stomachs. They finally
secured O rope and threw It to Mayer. who
had gone down twice. He was too weak

lassoed Mayer just as he was sinking again.
Then the two rescuers attempted to
pull Mayer out, but his body caught

arrived.
Planks were carried from a nearby shanty
Jand Bolang attempted to reach the uncon-
scious man. In doing so he also broke
through the ice. Bolang's dip however,
solved the problem Of rescuing Mayer. for
he crushed the ice for some distance around
and showed the unconscious man up on the
hard surface 30 tina t the rescuers could
gdrag him to safety.
Bolang, although badly chilled and numb
had strength enough to grasp the rope
thrown to him later, and was dragged out.
/ An ambulance was summoned from the
Fordham Hospital and DR.. Heinz, the sur
geon who responded, said that Mayer was
in very bad shape. He was taken unoon-
Iscious to the hospital and some time later
revived. His condition was still critical

Bolang refused to go to the hospital and
bpreferred to remain in the mems quarters
in the park. He became very Ill last night

pie of the east, hundred and fifty thousand people had been attracted to the Portland exposition from east O. the Mississippi. Every one of these who had gone back or of those that had remained in the west had sent word back of the cham and wonder of the gread west. An organization had grown ont of this for the education of Americans of the delights of travel in their own country, and this propaganda was still going on with motto of See Europe if you must, but see America first" And all this had made it easy for the creation ofa great exposition in the northwest within four years follow ing the Lewis and Clark enterprise, and one larger and more complete in itself and greater ia its aims than that eX- position.
 No single event in the west had been followed by more permanent good to that country than the Portland expo sition in attracting permanent popu- lation and large capital for the devel- opment of the resources of all the northwest and every part of the northwest, including Alaska had shared iu proportion-Portland no more than other cities and sections.
 h the proposed exposition at Seattle, Alaska would serve as the hub round which all the rest revolved. It would get the benefit of all the advertising which had already begun. He did not doubt that of all the crowds attracted to the exposition ten Ter cent would continue their journey to Alaska. Alaska, be said, was not asked to con- tribute anything but the exhibit Seattle would do all the rest.
