NO HOTEL

While from tine to time there has
been a rumor current to the effect
that Mrs. Francis Hubbard is to
lease her property on the corner Of
High and State street 10 Seattle par
ties, they who will erect upon it Il
80 room hotel, nothing definite
along that direction had today been
accomplished despite an announce
ment to the contrary.
The rumor that has been preva-
lent that there have been negotia-
tions along that line seems to have
more or less of a foundation, but as
to whether those negotiations will
develop into lease of the property
for a period of years, and the con-
struction upon it of modern hotel
remains yet to be seen Just who
the parties are if any, who have
been or are now negotiating along
those lines could not be learned-n
fact nothing authentic could be
learned other than that negotiations
had been under way and that so far
they had not been consumated ani
that it is a matter of uncertainty rs
to whether they would be.

Big Scandal Predicted.

New York, March 19.-Men who
are responsible for the present in
vestigation concerning the expendi
lures of the New York Insurance
underwriters at Albany TO influence
legislation favorable to the insur-
ance corporations, declared today
that there soon will be revelations
of wholesale bribery, and corruption,
which will make previous disclos-
ures appear as mere flea bites"
They assert that the disclosures
will be made before the investiga-
ton now under way has advanced
much farther.
William H. Hotchkiss, Superinten-
dent of the State Insurance Depart
ment, said that he expects to prove
that the fire insurance companies IN
New York state have been bled for
years by corrupt legislators.
He said that this practice was fol-
lowed not only in New York but in
other state legislatures as well.
Hotchkiss stated that the usual
way to compel the insurance com
panies to pay for protection from
the yellow pup" fund, was to intro
duce strike" bills against them,
and then compel the payment of
vast sums to prevent their passage.
He said that men prominent IN
state and national politics had know
ledge of this.
IF they did not assist, at least
they refrained from interfering,

Mrs. James Miller was an invalid.
She was unable to leave her burning

New York, March IS.-C. L. Case.
former chairman of the Laws COM
mittee of the New York Board of
Underwriters, gave some sensational
testimony as to expenditures today
when superintendent of insurance
Hotchkiss resumed the inquiry into
the dealings of various life insur-
ance companies with the New York
state legislators to influence legisla-
ton in their favor.
Case declared that certain firms
of lawyers were employed by the
New York underwriters to examine
all pending legislation in connection
with insurance matters.
According to Case. attorneys
Sherman and Sterling, of New York
city, presented a bill of $17,5O0 for
such work. The bill was paid This
was in 1905. case explained He
stated further that the attorneys re-
ported on every bill, affecting the
insurance companies which came be-
fore the legislature that year.
One of the bills, Case said, was
endorsed and paid on the represent
tation that the sum was expended in
opposing inimical insurance legis-
alton, and for work done by legis-
.ative committees"
Case failed to explain why money
should be paid for the work of legis-
ative committees.
Case suffered q sudden lapse OF
memory when superintendent Hotch-
kiss expressed a wish to learn whv
the same attorneys received SIS, 900
for work done in 1906 along the
same lines. He said that he could
not recollect what the work was.
The bill in question was offered as
evidence. but it shed no more light
on the question as it was not item
lzed.
After Case was excused, E. r.
Kennedy was recalled to the stand.
Kennedy identified the original Of
bill introduced in the legislature
by e. NJ. Lewis, during the session
of 1901. for removing the tax from
The reinsurance reserve.
The bill contained corrections
made by Kennedy. These correa-

which was finally passed and became
law.
Taking up the matter of an ex-
penditure of $13,311 by Kennedy in
1901, Superintendent Hotchkiss
asked Kennedy what he did with the
remainder after he had turned over
$4,000 to the Republican state com
mttee.
Kennedy flushed and said: Il do
not recollect."
Doesn't II strike you as strange
, hat you cannot recall to whom you
paid money since you testified pre-
v'ously that this was the only tran
saction of this character in when
you were involved?" asked Hotch-
kiss.
Why no. it does not seem at all
strange TO me-" replied Kennedy
steadily.
lie then continued by saying that
he had refreshed his memory over
night and now recalled that he had
paid George w. Aldridge a thousand
dollars instead of $500 as he had
stated yesterday. when the investi.
cation started.
Other than this correction. Ken
nedy's memory was poor. and he as
serted that he could not recollect
the names Of others whom he paid
out of the sum.
Hotchkiss then read message
from Aldrldge to Kennedy which
had been sent from Albany In 1901
The message read: "187 stricken
