HOME LIFE CELEBRATES
Fiftieth Anniversary Marked by
Festive Dinner.

A half century of successful business
was celebrated by the Home Life Ins1Ir-
ance Company by a dinner at the Hotel
Plaza last night George E Ide, the presi-
dent, was the toastmaster, and besides the
directors. officials and office and field STATS
OF the company there were a number Of
guest. including William H. Hotchkiss,
superintendent Of insurance; r. G. Ogden,
Darwin p. Kingsley. Charles A Peabody.
r V Lindabury, Otto T. Barnard. ex-
Senator John c. Spooner. ex-senator J. F.
Dryden. Melville E. Stone, Lloyd c. Girls
com. p T. Murphy, the Rev DR. l. Mason
Clarke and the Rev. Thomas r Slicer-
William H Hotchkiss, State Superintend-
ent OF Insurance. was engaged at Albany
with a hearing on insurance matters, but
managed to reach the hotel late and in
his short address commended the Home
Life for its record and for having escaped
without scar from the searching inquiry
Of the insurance investigation
Supervision that supervises Is necessary,
not only as a safeguard. but TO insure
confidence In the companies" he said.
THE only alternative is the appointment
OF q representative Of the state on each
board Of directors, and I hope that will
not be made necessary. Cooperation be-
tween the Insurance Department and the
companies to inspire confidence on the part
Of the public and protect the interests OF
the policyholders Will insure lasting bene-
it's TO both the companies and the state
". NJ. Kingsley proved an optimist, and
deprecated the publication Of so much
about graft charges in Albany and Pitts
burg. insurance scandals, high cost or HV-
ing and the eruptions Of Mount Etna.
Patrick Francis Murphy gave as an ex-
crse for his presence that he was OF the
plastic material of which policyholders are
made. Life insurance companies. he had
always considered, had no soul to speak or,
hut were a mere aggregation of majestic
buildings, invisible directors and that dia-
boIicaI institution that nobody understood,
the yearly balance sheet. ''As the indis-
cretion OF one woman makes more noise
than the virtue OF a thousand. so the one
poIfcvhoIder who dies after only one pay
ment makes more noise than the thou
sands who patiently pay their premiums
year after year said Mr.. Murphy
President Ide, in his address, remarked
that he hoped the IS per cent Of honest
business in insurance would not be made
TO suffer for the per cent that committed
irregularities, and expressed the hope that
= change would be made i'll the regulation
limiting the amount of business a company
could do.

STRANGE BERLIN ACOUSTICS
Sound of Kisses Magnified There,
SAYS Arthur Nevin. Home.

Arthur Nevin, the American composer,
said yesterday. when he arrived here on
board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, that
attending an opening night OF ones own
opera at Berlin, when one was an Ameri-
can. was not SO pleasant for the Aerican
as listening to an opera by g German COM
poser. He said he might be preJudiced in
favor Of his own music and might have
biased views about "Poia," his opera, when
critically compared 20 some operas of Ger
man origin. But so far as being present on
the opening night was concerned, he
doubted II he could bring himself to hoping
for the honor of undergoing such a rush OF
feeling second time.
He said il was awful to feel that way
The applause for some OF the music of
"Poia' was so strong, he said, that he was
induced to go before the curtain. He was
sorry, because right away there were Misses.
He said he had heard Kisses when others
were the object, and had always renem-
bered the sound ss comparatively subdued
in tone. In the Berlin Opera House, he
says, Kisses sound like steam whistles.
When he woke up it was morning, and he
looked at the newspapers. The critics
were all hissing. too. He couldn't account
for 1t at first, because ne did not see how
the opera alone could produce so much evil
dencs OF personal abuse Of its composer,
and then he learned it was rumored
that the Crown Prince was financially
backing the work. Mr.. Nevin, who is q.
brother OF the late Ethelbert Nevin, and
eight years his Junior, said he did not know
the Crown Prince. Probably the fact that
his was the first opera by an American ever
accepted by the Berlin Royal Opera had
had something to do with the trouble, he
said.
'Poia" vas given for four performances
and then withdrawn. Mr.. Nevin said he
could not tell whether the opera would be
produced here soon. He is working on an
other opera, 10 be named Twilight that
will also be American in theme.

SPOKANE. Wash, Jan. 2O-"Guilty
of murder in the first degree This
is the verdict of the jury at Colville,
Wash. in the case of James f. Logan,
alias Frederick Jahns, accused of muir
dering Mrs Agnes Janson. his house
keeper, the night of October rs last.
and with cremating the body
The case was given to the jury this
afternoon on instructions from the
court and an address by the prosecut-
ing attorney. Counsel for Logan did
not address the jury
AS Logan heard the verdict read by
the clerk he fell into his seat, eying
the Jurors closely. Then suddenly a
smile spread over his face. on being
taken back to jail Logan rushed up
stairs for word with George Hilton,
his nephew. who was also arrested in
connection with the crime. In reply
to Hilton. Logan said:
1T was murder in the first degree"
AS Logan entered the steel tank
other prisoners sang out: What is it,
old man?" and again he returned the
answer: Murder in first degree.
After the jail doors clanked securely
behind Logan the jailer again walked
around to the outside cell door and
asked: rs everything all right The
prisoner answered cheerfully: Don't
this look like it?' and the officers were
amazed to see him dancing jig.
Sheriff Graham placed a double
guard over Logan's cell and will
continue the guard till Logan is taken
away 1t is the sheriffs belief that
the prisoner has dangerous confeder-
ates.
The jury took two ballots, the first
being 10 for conviction and 2 for ac-
auittal. The second ballot was unani-
nous for the verdict of guilty.

completed plans for two large wharves
in the north for the accommodation of
its freight and passenger traffic.
This is the first intimat ation that such
a move was contemplated There has
been no official announcement from the
company.
The Siberia, Mongolia and Manchuria
are mentioned specifically as the ves-
sells likely to play part in the new
arrangement. A dispatch received last
