SCHOOL PROBERS
BARE MYSTERIOUS
INSURANCE DEALS
City's Former Educa.
ton Board Officials drilled
by Senate Commission.
Especial to the Newark start

ATLANTIC CITY, June 24.-Tax-
payers here are today very much sur
prised by the recent revelations of the
senatorial commission for school in
v~estigation, especially last nights dis
closures concerning insurance rolicy
transactions.
Testimony showing that former mem
bers of the Atlantic City School Board
carried alleged grating operations to
the extent of cancelling insurance
policies on school buildings, issuing
new policies carrying three years in
surance just before they were ousted
from office created the sensation.
Under the grilling former President
c. J.. Adams admitted that thousands
of dollars worth of insurance had been
cancelled n replaced %5t before the
political shakeup last January when
he and two associates were retired
from the board.
Testimony that showed school insur-
ance to have been divided between the
Adams company and that of A. II.
Phillips, whose representative, Arthur
Wright. was also a member of the
board, was brought out.
II understand that for nineteen years
past while you were a member of the
School Board you placed insurance on
the schools?" asked j. p. Murray, legal
adviser of the commission. Did you
receive any commission when you
placed this insurance on the schools?'
queried the probers.
Yes replied Adams.
Il notice from school minutes of 1904
onward that the insurance business
divided between your company and
that of the A. H.. Phillips Company. Is
that a fact?" asked Counsel Murray.
1.-The board ordered the action re-
turned Adams, This inquiry was made
by the investigators following charges
made by President Samuel Hastings
Kelley, of the present board. that
Adams and Wright met in a side room
and divided the insurance business of
the schools.
You and Mr.. Wright heard some
where in December. 1909, that you were
to cease to be members of the board,
did you not?" questioned the lawyer.
Yes" admitted Adams.
why did you and Mr.. Wright then
cancel fire insurance policies and issue
new ones?" asked the prober.
becduSe oi d Ieuuclion v idleS, I'LL
swered Adams, who afterward ad-
mitted that the lowering of rates might
been c-onsummated by a rebate of
premiums paid to the end of the life of
the policies. -
President Frelinghuysen. and chair
man of the commission, who is himself
a big insurance man, demanded to
know If the cancellation and reinsurance
of policies did not result in collection
of extra premiums by Adams n
Wright, and the witness admitted the
truth of the allegations, but stuck to
his former statement that the change
had been made because of the securing
of new and lower rates.

"Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served, the flavor OF the
PURGE of pea, the seasoning of the hsh
and entree, and finally reached de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
"Where did you get those leaves?'
he demanded.
"Why, they were lying on bush

whirlpool of some of the attributes

prejudices Of ordinary visitors she
went to the river as to trout stream.
Frequently in summer time she
went to wade in the river from near
Prospect point with no thought OF
danger and to slake her thirst, great

gathered in the park. This was
about 1860
But she had an imitator in the per
