INSURANCE GRAFT
STIRS NEW YORK

New York, March 22.-With every
indication that further astonishing
revelations would be forthcoming, the
inquiry begun yesterday into the meth
DDS employed In influencing legislation
at Albany affecting fire insurance com
panies was resumed by Superintendent
of Insurance Hotchkiss today.
If a bombshell had been dropped
into the state legislative camp the
shock could have hardly ben more
sudden or In a way more startling in
its effect than was the explosion at the
first session of the hearing. There was
absolutely no warning that anything
was about to develop and the revela-
tions that Immediately began to crop
out took everybody by surprise.
Today there was general expectation
that the inquiry might rival that Of
the Armstrong investigation Of life in
surance affairs In 1905-06.
Bribery Of Legislators.
Testimony already has been pre-.
Board Of Fire Underwriters composed
of officers of fire insurance companies
doing business in New York, spent
considerable sums for legislative pur-
poses and hat for many years the
legislative representative Of the insur-
ance companies had been Elijah II.
Kennedy, an elderly and wealthy
Brooklyn man.
1t was brought out that during the
1901 legislative session Of the legisla-
ture, the one during which the Aids
Conger affair developed, the insurance
companies had a bill prepared provid-
ing that their reinsurance funds be
considered liabilities and consequently
not subject to taxation, contrary to a
decision of the court OF appeals under
the law as it had stood. The bill passed
but was not signed by Governor Odell
until just before the expiration of the
30-day period following legislative ad-
iournment.
