TRANSACTIONS SECRET.
candy" HamiltCn Refuses % Tell
What He Did With Money Of the
New York Life.

Andrew Hamilton, the legislative
agent for the New York Life Insur,
ance company, who, according to testi-
mony, has been entrusted with hun
dreds of thousands of dollars by the
company, and has not accounted for
$235 900, has been heard from by the
legislative insurance investigating
committee, but has declined to make
an accounting.
A statement by Mr. Hamilton was
read before the committee Wednes-
day. 1t was presented by Secretary
John G. Mccall of the New York Life,
who went to Paris to secure an &C
counting from Hamilton. In his state
ment MIR. Hamilton says that he is
unable to produce any books or &C
counts because he undertook the legis.
lative matters for the life insurance
companies with the express under
standing that he was to make no ac-
counting. Absolute secrecy was nee
essary in retaining assistants, there
fore no checks were used in making
payments.
Mr.. Hamilton went into an exhaust
i've explanation of the reason for or
ganizing this confidential service, as
he characterized it, covering his meth
DDS of work, and citing a number of
legislative bills in which he had been
interested. A list OF expenses from
1899 to 1904 was appended to the
statement. The sum of S235,OOO I'M
accounted for, he says, would be
greatly reduced by the running ac-
count still unsettled and open and as
matter of good faith pending
settlement, he offers to deposit $780,
600 with the company.
Secretary Mccall was questioned by
Attorney Hughes as to what further
light he could throw on the statement
of Mr.. Hamilton, but he said he could
give no information. He had asked
AIr. Hamilton for full statement and
relied on his honesty to explain every
thing. He did insist that Mr.. Hamil-
ton produce checks or check books,
but Mr.. Hamilton had none.
When Mr.. Mccall was excused, Hen
ry D. Appleton Of the state insurance
department, was called. He complet
ed his testimony begun last week and
during the examination was told that
MIR. Morgan, former president Of the
Bankers Life Insurance company, had
testified that Mr. Appleton had said it
would cost the Bankers Life $4,000
to reincorporate. Mr. Appleton some
what heatedly said: "If Mr.. Morgan
said that he is liar" He was called
to order by Chairman Armstrong.

CASH SCOOPED
BY RUSS SAGE
Money Wizard Of Wall Street
Loans $6,OOO,OOO at 100 Per Cent.
CALL MONEY WAS HIGH
5reat Scramble by Brokers IN New
York for the Wherewlth to Settle
Accounts With Banks.

After having reached ITO per cent
on the New York stock exchange and
1875 per cent on privately arranged
loans, the rate for call money late
Thursday afternoon fell to 6 per cent.
Just before the close it advanced
again and closed 10 bid, offered at
20.
AS the money rate fell the stock
market advanced, approximately the
highest prices of the day were reach
ed at the close. The stock market,
except for an early decline in indus
trials, was fairly steady throughout
the money tension.
The advance in the interest rate
was sensationally rapid. From $50
there was a quick advance to rs, p0
and then 100 per cent. When 100 pier
cent was touched all records since NE
.cember, 1899, were broken. In that
year 1856 Per cent was paid for Cau
loans. After lending at 100 Thurs
day, there wsre loans at 80 per cent.
The 80 per cent quotation did not la t
long, and at II o'clock 10 per cent
was paid for funds, and shortly after
wards a loan of 100000 at 125 per
cent was reported.
Russell Sage, through his reprosen-
tative, was reported to have loaned
$6,0O0,000 at 80 to 100 per cent. More
than the usual discrimination was
shown by the banks in the collateral
accepted by them for loans. The
rate for GO and 90-day loans Thurs
day was per cent and a commits
.sion," making such loans really equiv
alent to 9 per cent. By 1 o'clock the
demand for money seemed to have
been largely supplied and money was
lent at 60 per cent, falling later to 20
per cent. From 20 per cent there was
a further drop to 6 per cent ana at
: 2:!5 o'clock the quoted rate was to
10 per cent President Hepburn OF
the Chase National bank said, in al
interview:
The enormous volume of business
which obtains throughout the country
is making a strong demand upon the
banking power and naturally has ma
temally advanced the rates of interest
3The foreign exchange credit which
the country would normally have isl
much curtailed by the shortage Of
cars, which prevents the rapid mar.
keting abroad of cotton and grain,
and also. by the concerted withhold
ing of cotton for higher prices.
Normally, we would anticipate such
exchange by our credit abroad, but
Europe has troubles CT its own. Hence,
we are called upon to finance our
great volume Of business practically
with our own resources. 1t is unfor
tunate that at such a time and under
such circumstances that prices OF list
ed securities should be persistently
advanced day by day. 1t has add
ed to the money strain and is pri-
marily responsible for the high rates
of interest.
"Stocks Gf worthy would have
found higher level in a normal MAN.
ner without creating an unusual strain
and without causing conditions fraught
with possible danger"

AN)THER COURTMARTIAL.
HAIRS Of Cadet Kimbrough Arraigned
IF Trial at Annapolis Naval
Academy,

Ccurtmartial proceedings against
Midshipman Trenmore Coffin, Jr., a
member of the third class, on the
charge of hazing Midshipman Jerdone
r kimbrough of the fourth class be-
gan ut the naval academy, Annapolis,
Md, Thursday.
Mishipman George Hewlett Of the
third class was the first witness. The
witness testified that he had looked
In the door of room SO in Bancroft
hall on the evening OF december IL,
and that he had seen Kin brough stan
ding on his head and Coffin and Kim.
brough's roommate in thu room with
him, Witness said that he left the vi.
cinity, of room SO and remained away
about five minutes. When he return
ed KImbrough was still On his head
and Coffin was the only cher person
IN tho room.
The. witness was asked o illustrate
what standing on the lead" meant.
He put his head on the floor and
'aised his feet few inches from the
ground in series of jumps. The eX-
erclsej apparently put much strain on
the legs and arms, and was hard on
the head. Kimbrough also exhibited
this Performance to the court later.
MldBhipman Kimbrough was the
t--44 \ !. E,c,t
he was unable to identity Coffin as
the man who had hazed him. the
rule, It appears, is that no lower class
man must look at an upper class man
under such circumstances, and this
was 50 rtgidly observed In the pres
emf case that Kimbrough could not
say that Coffin had hazed him He
ted, however, how he had been hazed
by being compelled to, stand on his
head
He had been hazed, he said, until
he gave out entirely. Then the mid
shipman who was doing the hazing
threw water over him and compelled
him to go on again. He brought the
relation up to the point where he lost
consciousness.
He had gained consciousness, he
said in the naval academy hospital.
Lieutenant Commander Charles B.
McVey, Jr., was the last witness dur
ing the morning session. He is at
tached to the department OF discipline
at the academy and is a member Of
the board Of investigation now going
into the subject of hazing at the acad.
envy. The witness during his testi-
mony said that he had learned q
great deal about hazing during the
last few weeks.
He discovered that Midshipman
Hewlett had looked into the room and
seen the hazing of Kimbrough. He
informed Hewlett that unless he told
the name of the midshipman he would
either be reported for disobeying or
ders or be called before the board
of investigation in the morning, and
compelled to testify.
Hewlett was allowed time to make
Up his mind. and in the meantime
Coffin sought an interview with the
witness. At this point the counsel
for the accused objected to the 'tes-
timony after an alleged confession
= asked the court to be allowed to
iRterrogate the witness. This the
court permitted, but took a recess at
this point.
Upon reassembling the court admit
ted, the testimony OF Lieutenant Com.
IL nder McVey as to Collins c9nfos-
sion.
1ofin, the witness said, admitted
that he had stood Kimbrough on his
heal for about ten minutes.
