MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE co.
 FIRST INVESTIGATION
Completed by Superintendent Hotch- .
 kiss-What the Examiner Finds.

New York, April 1.-The first in . .yestigation of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company undertaken by the state insurance department since Governor Hughes uncovered the scandals of 1905, has been completed by Super intendent Hotchkiss and it is stated that the report Ion the whole is com piimentary to the company. The ex- aminers find that the company has compiled. in the main. with the insur- ance law as amended by the Arm strong committee"
 The following facts were brought out by the examinations:
 O-The efforts of the new man agement to recover $3.000,000 from the late President Richard A. McCurdy and his associates of the old manage ment. resulted in a net outgo to the McCurdys of $237,349 more than the company received from them. (2)-Since the Armstrong law went into effect the mutual expenses of maintenance and administration have dropped from s15.72o,eo1 in 1904. the tfgation, to $7,451,1s6 in 1908. while the volume of business remained about the same.
 (3)-As late as 1906, agents of the company were still active campaign CTS in the interests of directors seek ing re- election, although the report does not charge that this was done at the instigation of the directors them selves, or with their connivance. For these electioneering services, agents of the company received in 1908 $16S,35l of the policyholders' moneys.
 (4)-So late as 1908 payments to agents aggregating $354.144. which do not appear on the books of the com pany as bonuses for getting new bus mess but are nevertheless believed by the department to be such, paid in vio- lation of the Armstrong law, were traced to the Boston office.
 The returns to policyholders have been increased correspondingly. The dividends paid in 1904 amounted to $2,674,206 and in 1908 to ss.311,255.
 The report explains, however that one reason for this significant in- crease lies in the fact that many de- ferred dividend policies matured in the years 1907-0S.

 As regards thin decision, the report of the secretary of the mission, Miss Alice w. Cogswe1l, in the annual etate- ment portended this outcome when it said: "It rests with the public to de- eide whether we shall be enabled to continue to lend a helping hand over hard places to those who need it, or to give small measure Of regular help to the old and fndrm, which two lines of effort seem to be the special function of this branch of the United Work ers."

During the past year there has been a great reduction in the cost of running the City Mission department, but it was being operated in conflict with the town and at an expense which had re- quired the use of invested funds.
