PRESIDENT OF BIG INSURANCE
COMPANY FACES SERIOUS
ACCUSATION
SURPLUS funds DIVERTED
STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
OFFICIALS WE'RE NOT
CRITICAL

New York, Dec. 6-The Phoenix
Insurance company OF Brooklyn, is
under investigation for irregularities,
which it is believed has impaired its
surplus at least 81 900, 900 and result
ed in conditions which Superintendent
Hotchkiss OF the state insurance de-
partment laid before the district at
torney today for possible criminal &C.
ton. 1t is charged that the president.
George p. Sheldon, has overdrawn his
salary, unloaded doubtful securities on
the company, and used the company's
assets as collateral to secure his OWE
personal speculative accounts.
In a formal statement tonight Sup
erintendent Hotchkiss says he does
not believe the capital of the company
a,,ts impaired, and thus far there is nc
evidence that it's securities are not in
tact, but adds the investigation is I'M
completed.
Sheldon has been president of the
Phoenix since 1887. 1t is charged that
the annual report of the company tc
the insurance department during a.
least the last ten years and probably
longer, was false in more than on,
particular.
Hotchkiss says the Phoenix, which
Is a fire insurance company, has lot
been examined for nearly twenty-five
years.
The insurance department alleges
questionable securities originally sold
to the company by Sheldon haze an
nually passed through wash sales"
and thus been concealed. Speculative
accounts were maintained by Sheldon,
according to Hotchkiss, in at least
one brokerage house, by assets OF
the Phoenix used as collateral for op-
erations, and it is charged the presi-
dents salary is paid to OctoDer,
1910.
During the last seventeen years it

King, a Chicago newspaper re-
porter, who died in poverty:
Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes,
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air
Quick as fash tits gone,
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but song,
All, we'll, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights.
Nothing to quench but thirst.
Nothing to have but what we've
got,
Thus through life we're cursed.
Nothing to strike but gait;
Everything moves that goes.
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever withstand these woes.
