cts and dig up $14S,O0o, the amount
contributed to the political campaign
funds in 1896, 1900 and 1904. This is
one of the first fruits of Andrew Ham
ilton's attack on the trustees in his Al.
bany speech. 1t was planned original
ly by the trustees to hold the estate Of
John A. Mccall responsible for all of
the political contributions and to bring
legal actions against it to obtain re.
Endorsements. This plan was aban-
doned after a conference at which it
was decided that the trustees were cog
infant Of the political contributions,
and therefore responsible.

HAMILTON uses
BITTER LANGUAGE
HEAD OF INSURANCE LOBBY AP-
PEARS BEFORE LEGIsLA-
TIVE COMMITTEES.
His Coming Unexpected and Creates
Sensation-Declares Trustees of
New York Life Were All Aware Of
His Actions.

Albany, N. Y, March 16.-Andrew
Hamilton appeared before the insur-
ance investigating committee Thursday
afternoon and broke the silence which
he has maintained, except for his state
ment brought from Paris by John c.
Mccall, ever since his name was first
mentioned in the investigation in con-
nection with the great sums of money
shown to have been paid to him dur
ing the past ten years on account OF
his legal and legislative work for the
New York Life and other insurance
companies.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-03-23


ing the past ten years on account of
his legal and legislative work for the
New York Life and other insurance
companies.
Creates Sensation.
1t would be difficult to eXaggerate
the sensation produced by his unex-
pected appearance and by the speech
which he made, or the intensely dra-
matte character of the whole episode.
His face flushed and his voice trem-
bling with passion, his arms appraised
and his fists clinched, Judge Hamilton
poured forth a flood Of denunciation
and invective upon the members of the
board of trustees of the New York Life
Insurance company, several of whom
were present, designating them "curs
and traitors"
Displays Emotion.
The only name he mentioned was
that of the late President Mccall, in
the reference to whom and to whose
death he displayed marked emotion.
He spoke of Mr.. Mccall as victim, as
nNlh5 uCCh Gu viii lHC
the only one, the dead man, killed,
that they drove to his grave and de-
serted" and declared that the memory
of this man had appealed to him ''to
come down here and just say something
for him and just word for myself"
All Had knowledge.
He declared unequivocally that every
payment to himself by the New York
Life was made with the knowledge and
approval of the trustees, especially of
the finance and auditing committees.
He pointed out that If there had been
anything the matter with his vouchers
for these payments, it was their duty
to bring him to book for it. He declared
again and again that the payments were
proper and legitimate, and that he had
no apology to make for himself or for
President Mccall.
This was the ostenslble purpose of
Judge Hamilton's appearance before
the committee-to advocate the pend
ing bill of the committee which would
legislate the present boards of direc-
tors out of Office and provide for 4
complete reorganization in November
next.

The San Jose scale is at work in MANY
orchards in Michigan and can soon
destroy any fruit tree. 1t can be con-
trolled by spraying. Last year the
potato crop of Michigan was reduced
one-third by blight and rot. This is a
fungous disease and can be held in check
by Bordeaux mixture at an expense of
two to four dollars per acre. Potato
scab can also be prevented.
The black rot and mildew of the grape

Dymond Served Previous Term.

tiles that Clifford Dymond, the young
man who was found guilty of bur-
glary at the last session of the su-
perior court, served a term for a
similar offense in the Oregon peni-
Tertiary. 1t is little doubtful that
George Dymond will be made to
serve the cumulative sentence of
life, as is the law in cases where
it is fact that two terms have
been previously served in any states
prison. In this case Dymond served
one sentence at Walla Walla for rob-
berry, but the other term was serv-
ed in military prison as the SEN
tence of a court martial. The Dy-
mond brothers, Black Mustache, Jim

SOCIALISTS INFLUENCE.

E. M. Thurber of New York, one
Of the speakers at the Trans Missis-
sipi Congress, made the following
sensible comments on Socialism,
Its Influence Upon Business and the
Development of Our Country"
'The present tendency toward
combination is simply reaction
from extreme competition. Steam,
electricity and machinery so in
creased the activities of production
and distribution that the power Of
competition was enormously en-
HANGED and this has forced cooper
alton to regulate and control it
within reasonable limits. Wherever
unlimited power exists there is dan
ger of tyranny, and there may be
combinations both of labor and
capital which are unreasonable and
which should be controlled and reg
ulated in the interests Of the public,
but thus far the danger is on the
side of unlimited competition rather
than in unlimited combination. Or
ganization has not abolished COM
petition; it has only lifted COMPETE
tion to a higher plane.
1.-THE lot of the trusts is not en-
