USED $4,000 FUND
Testimony in Insurance invcstiga-
ton DisclOses Some Shady Deal
ings.


New York, March 21.-Out of the
mass of promising generalities which
has characterized the fire insurance
inquiry started in New York on Fri
day last, there cropped up today tes-
timony that three foreign re-insur-
ance companies had paid handsomely
to have the so-called Grady re-insur-
ance bill passed by the Legislature
at Albany in 1904. The bill was passed
and is still law, Notwithstanding
that it was opposed by domestic COM
panies, who subscribed $4,000 for the
purpose and placed it in the hands
the late George p. Sheldon, one-time
president of the Phoenix Fire Insur-
ance Company of Brooklyn. y
These incidents were described on
the stand by e. II. A. Correa, vice.
president of the Home Fire Insurance
Company. Just how the fund raised
to combat the measure was spent,
was not made clear, except that Mr..
Sheldon used it in employing coun-
sci for travelling expenses and "for
entertainment in going to Albany"
But New Yorks state capital was
not the only point of interest to the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
according to the testimony of today.
There were intimations of an organiz-
ed system of influencing legislation
throughout the country
1t was even suggested that the work
of the insurane men extended to Con-
gress. William II. Hotchkiss, State
superintendent of insurance talked on
this point during the examination OF
Correa. He introduced in evidence d
bill for $4,000 allowed by the Nation
al Board of Fire Underwriters, OF
which Correa was a member. This
bill was presented by Ernest Rhoades
'for services rendered in connection
with the repeal of the stamp act" The
bill was dated July 16, 1908, but it
was not shown in what capacity
ieHOduto dStSu
The law in question was one passed
by Congress at the time of the Span
ish American war, requiring tax
among other things, upon fire insur-
ance policies.
Correas testimony relating to the
Grady bill came out through the read
ing by Mr. Hotchkiss of a letter writ
ten by the witness to a friend in
1904.
Pressed for details concerning the
passage of the measure, Correa was
unable to say how much had been eX-
pended by the foreign companies, but
he said: Possibly $4,000" He was
sure, however, that this was paid to
lawyers and not to legislatures.
1.-TWO of these reinsurance compan-
les wanted to dominate things at Al
bany, and they succeeded, said the
witness. "They were the Munich Re-
insurance Company and the Prussia
Reinsurance Company. The Munich
! Company made no bones about it, ad-
hitting that it was spending money
to have the bill passed"
The largest amount mentioned &c
far in the inquiry was developed
through the testimony of Col. A. H
! Wray, manager of the Commercial
Union Assurance Company, Ltd, OF
| London, and a member of the Nation.
al Board of Fire Underwriters. He said
that the late George p. Sheldon had
collected $1,000 from him, as a part o.
a fund of $4,000 which was to be uset
to oppose hostile legislation chiefly
in the west.

Elizabeth Smith, arrested as the re-
suit of the confession of Ray Lam
pere to Rev. E. A. Schell, now presi-
dent of the Iowa Wesleyan Univer-
sity, was released today on a 500
bond. The negress, who was impli-
Gated by the confession in the muir
der of Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
family, denied all the charges made by
Lampere. The grand jury will be IN
session next week when, it is said,
there will be a resumption of the in
vestigation into the Guinness case.
The Truelson confession may play
an important part in the case. This
confession was may in May, 1909. by
Jules Truelson, of New York. now
serving a term for forgery in the
Texas State prison, and it was In
vestigated by Albert F. Shutter. then
sheriff of La Porte county. Truei-

told much about the case. For time
the officers were inclined to believe
he was an accomplice. but later 1t
was concluded he was romancer and
told the story in order TO be taken
from Texas and brought to La Porte.

Fat Reduction

When buttermilk and gymnastics
were the only known cures for over
fairness many people preferred to
stay fat-dreading the remedy worse

become very safe and pleasant az
fair. You can eat and drink and be
merry and lazy and still lose 10 to
is ounces of useless fat daily. Folks
with double chins and stout abdomens
can lose them in a month and yet not
strain. bother or deny themselves a
single blessed thing. It does not cost
much, either-any druggist will nix
you up-and there is no waiting; re-

Demurrer in Grace Case Ar
gued Before Judge Barham.
HUSBAND DRIVEN AWAY
Mrs. Mamie 3. Grace Says She Had
Her Son Eject Allen G. Grace from
House Because He Abused Her and
Kicked Furniture 10 Pieces.

A divorce case which promises
some interesting developments was
taken up before Judge Barham In the
Corporation Court yesterday morning.
The case is that OF Allen G. Grace
against his wife, Mrs. Mamie Is.
Grace, for an absolute divorce ana
division OF property On the ground
that the defendant drove the plaintiff
away from his home and in unlaw-
|, fully holding title to the property.
Attorneys Z. s. Robinson and j.
Winston Read, counsel for Mrs.
Grace, entered demurrer 10 the form
of the plaintiffs bill and questioning
the right of the division of the prop
erty in such a suit. Judge Barham
PENDANT as TO the right to decide on
the division OF the property in this
suit, but sustained the demurrer TO
the form of the bill. The plaintiff
will now have TO file an amended
bill before the trial begins.
Charges Cruel Treatment.
Mrs. Grace has not yet filed her
answer to the bill Of the complainant,
but il is understood that she VIII
claim cruel and inhuman treatment
both to herself and her children by
q former marriage as well as non-
support. She says rer husband did no
work and that she was forced TO pro-
vide for him.
The trouble between the husband
and wife that terminated in the d.
vorce suit occurred several months
ago. Mrs. Grace claims that her hus-
band came home in a drunken condi-'
ton and that he abused her, struck
one of her children and. ended up by
kicking some of the furniture 10
pieces.
Prior to this time, Mrs. Grace had
sent to West Virginia for her grown
son 10 come here and protect her. The
son was home on the day in question
and he elected Grace from the house.
Wife Opposes Suit.
Mrs. Grace is opposing the divorce
suit on the ground that she is en-
titled to a divorce and that the plain
tiff IS not. She d,D les that she has
abandoned her husband and that she
compelled him TO leave home without
justification.
The property involved in the suit Is
a house and some lots on Twenty
fifth street between Jefferson and
Madison avenues as well as three
cows. Mrs. Grace claims that she
bought the cows ont of her own
funds and since the separation she
has sold them. She further claims
that she purchased the house and lots
from the Old Dominion Land Com
pany out of her funds and that her
husband does not own any interest In
it whatsoever.
