TO TEST PUBLICITY Law.
Big Insurance Companies Getting Ready
to Fight II 20 the Last Ditch.

The indications are that the two big
mutual life companies. the New York and
the Mutual, don't intend to let up on their
fight against making their lists Of policy
holders public, even though the Armstrong
committee bill. which provides for such
publicity, has been enacted into law, Some
Of the important agents Of the companies
are going to carry the new law into the
courts and test its constitutionality. 1t is
understood that they will have the sup
port Of the companies. IL they are not, in
fact, representing the companies In the
matter.
1t Ia said that they will ask within a few
days for an injunction against the provision
Of the law relating to the policyholder
lists. The Law requires hat at least two
copies Of the list in each company shall ne
filed with the State Superintendent Of
Insurance not later than June Is. The
agents will contend that the law Is per-
n~icious, that these liste, 80 far as they in
clude the names of the policyholders in
tically an asset to them and that to throw
them open to the public would be tanta-
mount TO robbing them OF the results Of
their labors. It would, In one sense, they
argue, be depriving them Of a property

sary he carried up to the highest court
in the State by the agents. Before the
| Armstrong committee bills were passed the
Appellate Division handed down a decision
quashing an action brought to compel
the New York Life to make public it's list.
This provision for publicity of policy
holders was fought harder than any other
by the Mutual and New York Life. New
York Life officers worked openly in the
lobby at Albany and succeeded in getting
an amendment through the Senate emas-
culating the bill, but such tremendous
pressure was brought to bear on the Senate

20 EMBALWED BEFORE AUTOPSY
CorOner's Doctor Experiments on His Own
Hook OF Corpscs in His Hands.

Coroner's Physician Edward T. Weston
who In one Of the medical witnesses fol
Albert T. Patrick on Patrick's motion for
a new trial, isn't having a pleasant time
with District Attorney Jerome these days,
The examination Of DIR. Weston was con
tinued yesterday before Recorder Goh.
DR.. Weston has testified that he made
about twenty experiments on cadavers to
find out what effect embalming fluid had
on the lungs. He was questioned yesterday
about three Of the experiments he made.
He said that he made the experiments
at the Morgue and that they were made
on bodies in which the cases had been re-
ported to the Coroner's office. 1t was his
official duty as a Coroner's Physician to
investigate those cases.
In no instance could he remember the
name or cause OF death. He said he had
made a report which was filed in the Coro-
ner's office, He, had used the embalming
fluid before he had determined the cause
OF death. He admitted that the fluid
would destroy post-mortem evidences Of
congestion Of the lungs in many cases.
In each case, he said, he found congestion
cf the lungs and in at least one case there
was external evidence Of 1t.
DR.. Weston said that the experiments
were made in September, 1904. Mr.. Jerome,
who seemed surprised at the statements
OF DR.. Weston, told Assistant District
Attorney Caravan to get from the Coroner's
Office the records covered by the period In
which the experiments were made. MIR.
Caravan got them. Mr.. Jerome asked DR..
Weston to pick out the cases. There we're
eighteen. and DR., Weston picked out four
cases which he said he had handled. These
were all deaths from fractured skulls in
which no autopsies were made, 80 they
evidently weren't the cases that DR.. Weston
had experimental in. DR.. Weston in
sisted that he fled a report in every case,
and that the records should be in the Cor
oner's office. Mr.. Jerome said he would
make another investigation and all the
cases that DR., Weston a y he experimental
on will be looked up, II was brought out
that DR.. Weston had no authorization to
make h experiments,
But why, as a public official asked Mr.,
Jerome. destroy evidence Of the cause Of
death by using this embalming fluid2"
-oh, 7 didn't destroy IT," said DR., Weston,
The examination win he continued this
morning.

BLACKWELL'S ISLAND a PARK,
Suggests the Grand Jury. and House OF
Detention No Longer q Police Prison.

In a presentment made by the Grand
Jury yesterday it was recommended that
the House OF Detention be taken out OF
the control Of the Police Department and
put under the jurisdiction of the Depart
ment Of Charities. A suggestion OF Com
wells Island be turned into a park was
favorably reported. The idea is to move
the prisons TO islands further north.
The Grand Jury praised the manage
ment of the boys reformatory on Hart's
Island. They learned that a large number
Of the boys were cigarette smokers. They
found the Tombs clean and we'll handled.
Recorder Goff said that he thought It
would be a good idea TO take the House
Of Detention out Of the hands OF the police,
Witnesses detained there might be wit
nesses against policemen. 1t will require
legislation to make the change.

Cooleemee is in North Carolina, and thus far it hasn't figured largely in the Society news. But this isn't because there is no Society in Cooleemee, There is Society there, and it is up to date. It has Society weddings just as any Society town does. One of them was pulled off the other night, and the So- ciety reporter of the Cooleemee Banner laid himself out on it. This was the re- suit; Miss Jennie Jones and Bob Hem ry were married at the Jones mansion last night. The bride is the daughter of our constable, Jones' who made a good officer, and will undoubtedly be re-elecetd next spring. He offers a fine horse for sale in another column. The groom runs Q grocery store on Main street, and is a good patron of , our advertising columns, and has a good line of bargains this week.

eooD rEAE FOR CLEAN ELECTION

GOOD TEAR FOR CLEAN ELECTION
 Although we don't believe that there has been in Connecticut for long time much 'iIlegitimate" use of money in elections, the movement to have none of it in the coming election is cheering. And if there were danger that there would be much tainted money floating around, this year would be an especial Iy good year for both parties to join in averting the danger. The Republicans don't need to use money illegitimately to get all the votes they will want, an5 the Democrats couldn't possibly raise enough money to get the votes they will want. So there ought 10 be no dif- fculty in agreeing to have clean elec- ton and keeping the agreement.
