ALBiNY INSURANCE WITNESS.
Grand bury Hears n Clerk Prom the staff
Department and Others.

Several witnesses were examined yester
day Ivy the special Grand Jury that !" In
~vestIgating insurance cases. They wert
George H.. Trumpler, a bookkeoper In tho
cashiers department Of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company; Thomas y. Bahan
n clerk in the State Insurance Department
Alfred Mackay, a notary formerly employed
by the Mutual; Samuel I. Hall, an assistant
actuary In the Mutual, and Edward l.
V~redenburg, a ~bookkeeper in the auditors
department Of the Mutual.
10 was said that these witnesses were
called to identify certain documents which
have been brought in as evidence against
officers Of the Mutual. From the fact
that an employee Of the State Insurance
Department was called it was guessed that
District Attorney Jerome might be looking
into the filing Of false reports
The Grand Jury then adjourned unit
Monday. Congressman Babcock OF Wis
consn will be a witness next week.
President Charles A. Peabody of the
Mutual, when asked yesterday what he
thought of District Attorney Jerome's
action In granting immunity TO six or sever
persons so that he may indict one of the
company's former officers, said:
when | read the a%ccounts in he news
papers this morning / thought Of the old
fable of how the mountain labored and
brought forth a mousse
Mr., Peabody added, however, that he
had absolutely no intention of criticising
the District Attorneys office.
Mr.. Peabody said that he had no idea who
the Governor was b took the Mutual
LIES money but wanted it understood
afterward that he was to do no lobbying.
1t was a matter Of common knowledge
In the Mutual building, Mr.. Peabody said,
side States dropped in frequently in the
old days with all sorts of demands. They
had the right to demand an examination
into the o%ompany's affairs at a cost of from
$40, 900 to $50, 700 to the company, and Mr..
Peabody said he couldn't help feeling a
little BIZ charitable toward former officers
Of the Mutual if they compromised with
these men. 1t was probably a saving to
the policyholders, for often it was a case OF
submitting to enormous expenses for an
examination which would result In no
good or paying a small sum TO the COM
no such demands now.
Mr. Peabody said that the latest news
received by the company from London
was to the effect that the attempt Of D. c.
Haldeman to twist" the Mutual policy
holders into the North British had turned
body said, Is holding it's own nowi in England,
and he expects that 1t will be plain sailing
from now on.
In France the situation for American
companies looks more doubtful. President
Peabody expects that the present admins
tration will compel the American COM
panies not only to invest In France a sum
sufficient as q reserve on it's new policies,
but that they will make the law retro
active, II this is done, it will be a question
with the Mutual whether 1t will not he
better to withdraw from France. To
comply with such a ruling would necessitate
the investment by the Mutual OF about
$25, 900 900 in France.

these in which he can proclaim his men,

WILL GAVE CHURCH TOO MUCH.
Excess Given Back TO the Widow by Exec
utOrs After Litigation.

Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum de-
cided yesterday that the compromise ar
rangement made by the executors Of the
will Of George Lafayette Russell, who died
In March, 1904, with the ~testator's widow
is valid. Under it she will get an additional
s52, 600, while the rest, about SIP 900, will
GO 70 the Duane Methodist Episcopal Church,
save for a few thousand dollars left to other
charities.
Mrs. Russell opposed the probate OF her
husbands will on the ground that he had
left more than half Of his property to char
table or religious institutions, which is for
hidden by law when a man leaves a widow ar
children, Considerable litigation followed
which resulted in the compromise by which
she gets two-thirds Of the excess over the
half Of his estate, which Russell bequeatbed
to the Duane church. The widow also has
a life interest in certain securities owned
by Mr.. Russell, which revert to the church
on her death.

1t is inoonoeivable that II 1t had been
understood Alright only forty out OF more
than IL, 900 private automobile owners in
this town would have been willing to lend
their cars and chauffeurs to give the orphans
Of the city an outing to Coney Island. Only
forty responded to the invitation Of the
New York Motor Club for the excursion on
Wednesday.
The rich and well to do people Of this
city are not mean. The sight Of the hum
dreds Of little ones in tears because they
we're left behind would nave moved to pity
any automobile owner with a heart, quite
as much as the spectacle of a car filed with
children bubbling over with joy must have
been q sufficient reward to those who did
contribute the use Of their machines. Hun
dreds Of cars were idle on Wednesday
whose owners would gladly have placed
them at the disposal of the committee had
the circumstances been known. Nc more
appealing procession has recently moved
through this city, with the exception Of the
return Of the emaciated veterans from the
Spanish war, than those orphans on their
way to Coney Island.
Why not nave another such outing and
take all the orphans9 At least, when the
next excursion comes let the appeal for
the use Of private automobiles be made in
40 direct a manner that there will be hum
dreds in line. And why would it not be q
good way in which to display the fine char
table spirit that lies in every mans breast,
II from time to time a systematic plan were
adopted whereby citizens owning auto
mobiles might give an outing to cripples

not owing TO the delightful presence OF the Ma

how closely the modern costume In summer Of

The sarse and choice are practically the same as
the gracefully hanging skin and soinky" little

British was the official declaration yester-
day Of the chairman Of the health commit
tee and the medical officer Of the port
Of Liverpool that they had watched i'm
ported timed meat most carefully and
examined samples every year, which had
all proved good; and that the English con-
sumers of the meat need not be much

HARBURGER KILLED roo NAVY.
Hospital Transfers to Bellevue Not 60
Deadly as He Suspected.

Coroner julius Hamburger, speaking yes
terday at a public hearing held by the
Aldermen's Committee on Public Build.
ings on a proposed ordinance to prohibit
the removal of moribund patients from
general hospitals to Bellevue, was as pictur-
esque in language and gesture as he Is in
his W court or at a Tenth district political
meeting. Five thousand persons were
'butchered and murdered every year,
he declared, by being conveyed from one
hospital to another. They de- he cried,
because they are transferred from the
other hospitals to Bellevue, but they would
live il they were treated in the hospital
In which they are received. Out of 1900
removals last year 5000 died, and they
died because Of the long journey they had
to take in the ambulance. They were
butohered and murdered by these superin.
tendents who transfer dying patients to
Bellevue because they want to keep down
the death rate Of their own hospitals. So
recently as last week l would have COM
mitted one superintendent to the Tombs
but for the fact that the hearing on the
ordinance was pending and did not want
to prejudice the case
Asked by one Of the committees what
meaning he intended to convey by the Use
OF the term Abutchered and murdered
he shouted in reply Il mean that these
superintendent kill 5000 patients a year
by transferring them to Bellevue, and
when one of these patients dies because Of
the transfer these superintendent are
accessories to the crime"
Several of the hospital superintendent
of the city objected to the passage Of the
ordinance. They contended in general
that it was impracticable, as had been
shown in the hearings in Albany on a bill
which had been thrown out by the Legs;
lature. II the ordinance was passed
the private hospitals would be compelled
to TAX in cases of contagious diseases
and other cases which could not be dealt
with. AS one speaker put it:
This ordinance provides that an am.
bulance shall take patients to the nearest
hospital, where treatment shall be given,
Suppose the nearest hospital was the Ma
ternity Hospital, Of what use would 1t he
to take a case OF delirium tremens there
1t was also stated that the general hos
pitfalls never refused admission to patients
unless their wards were full.
DR.. s. t. r. Armstrong Of Bellevue stated
that of about IL, 900 admissions al Bellevue
since the beginning of the year only one
death had taken place within a short time
after admission. That one case was a trans,
fer case and was the only case which could
come under the scope Of Harburgcr's state
ment.

Harlem Bad Bows.

To THE EDITOR OF THR SUN-sir: The police
authorities seem strangely indifferent to tho acts
and conduct Of the street arabs in Harlem. Gangs
OF boys whose ages run from eight to sixteen
monopOlize the streets and make day ard night
hideous with di>cordant yens. profane language
and ning OF explosives.
They arc vicious and destructive. They don't
hesitate TO break street Lamps or window panes In
priy.tu houses, upset ash cans, chalk houses over
with disgusting pictures and equally had writing,
The average New York street boy is a law unto
himself. The police allow Linn 10 do what no
pleases. Taxpayers and otheis have no rights

CAPITAL CASES ON

 ING CRIMES.
Sidney Davis, a Negro. Got Twenty Years in the Penitentiary Yester- day. 4 Second Jury Was
 Drawn.

After a trial lasting throughout all most an entire day. Sydney Davis, a
 negro. last evening, was convicted for
 killing Tom Shaver. of murder in the second degree. and sentenced to twen- ty years in the penitentiary. Eotwith- standing that the evidence against the prisoner was almost wholly circum-
 stantial in nature. the jury remained
 out barely fifty-five minutes. the only point of the difference, apparently, be-
 ing the severity of the sentence. During the progress of the trial. the
 rooms of the criminaI division of the city court were crowded. Several
 hundred. mostly negroes, sat silently
 through the long hours of the after noon, and remained until after the verdict had been announced. The crime for whici- Davis was con- victed, was committed in Montgomery County, sixteen miles from the city. last June. At that time Davis killed Shaver with a shot from gun.

Davis was the only person whose testimony was taken who was an actual witness of the affair.
 
 forth by the counsel for the accused man. It was claimed in his behalf, that Shaver had threatened his life. When placed on the stand, Davis de- clared that when he fired the fatal shot. Shaver was approaching him. and reacI ing for a pistol or knife in his hip rocket.
 For the prosecution, evidence was brought out to show that there had been bad blood between the men, and thIt Davis had threatened the man whose life he took. Trouble over the wife of Davis was placed in evidence as the cause of the crime. Davis was charged with murder in the first de- gree.
 The fury which convicted Davis was composed of the following. D. A. Castleberry, foreman; George Lenzer. c. c. McGehee. w. E. Guy, B. C. Battle, lV. B. Murray. Thomas J. Higgs, J. c. Johnson, D. L.

 A. B. Parker went to the Scott Street Station as a pipemen and with ms ao- dition to this force. assistant wagon driver Ed Gissendaner was promoted to the position of driver of the nose wagon to succeed O. L. McDaniel.
 A. J. Dosier was assigned to the Madison Avenue Station as ladder men. and J n. spigner went to the same station as . pipeman.
 The engine horses in use at the west End station are those which were be- ing used to the police patrol wagon at night In the future. the police de- partment will experiment with using one pair of horses to the patrol wagon for both day and night work
 The West End station has two large gray horses to pull the hose wagon. Both of these horses were bought by the city about a year ago. One of them has been pulling the Five Points engine. while the other has been at the pas ture for some time on account of tenn porary disablement from the service
