THE REoRoANIzED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge OF
the company's affairs and has begun
the work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers Of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance COM
| pany should be managed by life in
| surance men. The new president Is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than
quarter of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service. each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe, is one Of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval In life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted In great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $4,000, 600, 900 insurance on
its books when the life insurance In
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50, 100000 a year (which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $4,000 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board. as 1t places at the head Of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

PRESIDENT SPENDS BUT
LITTLE IN TRAVELLING

HOW much do the presidents travel
III ing expenses amount to? This
question interested the country last
=. session when, upon the enforcement
of the anti-pass legislation, the rail
roads were prohibited from continuing
the old practice of furnishing the pres
ident a private car or a special train
when he desires to leave Washington.
1t was roughly estimated that the
president could get along on $4,000 a
year as travelling expenses, and con-
gress appropriated that amount as an
experiment. The president recently
left Washington for his summer home
at Oyster Bay, and the close of the
present fiscal year will find him there.
1t Is found that when allowance is
made to cover the expense of the Sec
ond trip which the president made to
the jamestown exposition and of the
trip to Oyster Bay fully $4,000 will be

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

William F. Davis, who, according to
Harry Orchard, was q leader In sever
nj Of the mine crimes In Idaho, was
put on the stand by the Haywood de-
Tense and denied Orchards state
ments. His testimony was weakened
somewhat by Senator Borah's severe
REORGANIZATION.
The first direct testimony in the de-
Tense of William ID. Haywood was
chiefly directed toward showing that
Harry Orchard, blaming Frank Steun-
enberg for, the loss of his interest In
the Hercules mine, had threatened to
have revenge by killing him, and that
the conduct Of Orchard and X. G. Ster-
ling, both before the Independence
explosion, when they were frequently
seen together. and afterwards, when
Sterling called of the bloodhound that
was following Orchards trail. justified
the inference that the mine owners in
spired the crime.
In an address that occupied two SEES
sions of the district court at Boise,
Idaho, Clarence barrow, of Chicago,
outlined to the jury the defense OF
William ID. Haywood to the charge
that no murdered former Gov. Steun-
enberg. In broad description, 1t Is to
be a denial of every material count In
che testimony of Orchard, with show
ing that Orchard killed Steunenberg
because of private grudge borne by
the loss of rich share in the great
Hercules mine, and explanations OF
the independent circumstances that
tend to connect three co-defendants
with Orchards life and operations.
When the state closed its case
against William ID. Haywood. charged
with the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg, the defense made an unsuccess-
full attempt to secure from the court
an order directing the jury to acquit
the prisoner. Judge Woods ruling
requires the defense to meet with EVIL
dence the case that the state has pre-
scented.
