ANDY" HAMILTON
 IS FOUND DEAD Insurance Companies Counsel in Charge of Legislative
 Lobby Dies at .
 Albany. TESTIFIED AT INQUIRY Made Sensational Speech Before Arm- Ctx,-
TESTIFIED AT INQUIRY
Made Sensational Speech Before Arm- strong Committee Denounc- ing New York Life
 Directors.

Albany. N Y, March 1-Andrew Hamilton, formerly counsel to the New York Life and other insurance com panles and in charge for many years Of insurance litigation and legislative matters in all parts of this country and Canada, was found dead in bed this morning at his home in this city. Yes terday he was apparently in normal health, although he has been failing to some extent ever since the death or Mrs. Hamilton last July. An autopsy this afternoon disclosed an acute dila- ton of the heart which must have caused practically instantaneous death during the night.
 Judge Hamilton, so-called, because ne was twice elected judge of the Al pany city court, was widely known from connection of his name with dis closures regarding political and leglsla- tive matters during the insurance in vestigation of 1905, He was abroad a, the time but returned while the Arm strong committees bills were still be- fore the legislature and made a sensa- tional speech before the committee. He vehemently denounced by name the di. rectors of the New Tory Life, who he said, evaded responsibility which be- longed to them for acts which had been criticized, and let the stigma rest es. pecally upon himself and upon Presi. dent John A. Mccall, whose then re- cent death he attributed largely to the acts of these directors.
 Judge Hamilton was born in Ians- ingburg, now part of Troy, April 29 1854. He was formerly district attor- ney of Albany county and clerk of tht state court of claims. During the pas ten or fifteen years he was known as an authority upon corporation and in. surance law. His most celebrated case which brought him into confdentia connection with the New York Life was that in which the court of app paals sustained his contention that the pen. sion contract of that company with ex, President William H. Beers, providine for life pension of s37,5O0 a year was invalid and against public policy He was the guiding figure in important litigation for the New York Life ant other companies in many other states and in Europe.
 Judge Hamilton is survived by hi. aged mother and three daughters.

Cut in Salaries of Officials, High and Low, Reaches from Himself Down to Salaried Elm
 ployes.
SAVES s1o;o0O A MONTH
Every Man in Steam, Electric and Marine Service Receiv- ing Over $2,000 Reduced 10Per Cent; Those Get
 ting s2,00 Down to
 $1,200, Five.

The retrenchment policy which President Mellen of the Consolidated road inaugurated some time ago has taken on new vigor. Having reduced the working forces of his steam, cleo tric and marine charges he now tackles the salaries of the heads of de- nartments and also some of the higher employees earning good salaries, By to-day all those affected will have in their hands an official notification of the cut over the presidents own sig nature
 The notice states that owing to the continued falling off in business the company has found it necessary to take still further steps to bring about a reduction in expense. Therefore, 1t goes on, notice is hereby given that after April 1 there will be a reduction in salaries now paid upon weekly monthly or yearly basis
 The reduction vii be as follows: Ten per cent. upon salaries in excess of S2,000 per annum, but no salary in this class to be reduced below S2,000; five per cent upon all salaries in ex- cess of s1,200 and .up to s2,000 no salary in this class to be reduced be- dow $1,200.
 The notice finally states that 1t is the intention of the management to restore the present scale of salaries when conditions, in it's opinion, justl- fy. The lowest salaries will be the first to be, restored and the highest the last.
 The reduction affects all the vice presidents and President Mellen him self: also general managers in the trolley service. It is stated officially that the order will not affect the loco motive engineers who work on a mile age basis, nor the men in the shops who work by piece.
 Owing to the doubt as to the legal ownership of trolley lines in Massa- chusetts the reduction, it is said, does not affect that state, but only Connec- ticut, Rhode Island and New York, It is authoritatively stated that by this cut alone the company will save S1O,000 a month. President Mellens own is declared to amount to over $5,000
 It was rumored last night again that Mir Mellen having cut salaries would turn his attention to wages and that even trolleymen would have to suffer with the rest. This was from an official source emphatically denied It was declared that no wage reduc- tions had been contemplated despite the emergency action of the teleg- raphers, engineers, conductors, train men and firemen in pooling their is sues to resist such a step by the road
