LIFE INSURANCE MEN GLAD
New Law Means Healthy Growth,
Says President Kingsley.

The life insurance companies. particu-
larly the larger ones, hailed Governor
Hughes's approval on Saturday Of the
Allen bill with delight.
The bill abolishes the limitation of $150-
ooooo laid upon the yearly business OF the
companies by the Armstrong laws.
In attaching his signature to the bill
Governor Hughes acted wisely" said Dar-
win F. Kingsley. president OF the New York
Life insurance Company, yesterday. Sec
ton 96 as f. stood could not be defended
even by those who would limit mems legiti-
mate activities. The law Disseminated
frankly in favor Of companies of other
states and with equal certainty in favor
of one company In this state.
These conditions are eliminated by the
amendments. and while the principle OF
limiting output-after fixing COSTS still re-
tained, the limitations apply impartially to
all except Industrial business.
The new law does not eliminate any pro-
visions which aim at safety or equity or
economy Or publicity. The state simply re-
lakes her strangle hold on the throat OF
this company. and applies a lighter grip to
the throats of all companies alike. / hope
and believe that reasonable and healthrul
growth will be possible under the law as 1t
now stands

GRESSER CORRECTS DENTON
Didn't Know About Phillips
Vouchers-Grand Jury Busy.

Lawrence Gresser, President Of Queens
came out in point blank statement yester-
day contradicting the evidence given by
his old friend and political associate Alfred
e. Denton. municipal justice. who was on"
OF the witnesses before Raymond Fosdick.
Commissioner of Accounts.
THE story that Judge Denton. who was
then acting as Commissioner of Public
lar five Phillips vouchers is false" Presi-
dent Gresser sayg. During that month /
signed the whole series. from 1,162 to 1,201
and from 1,246 IS t,345, making a total OF
14s vouchers for the month and total ex-
penditure of from $4,000 to $4,000 all III
small amounts. Il would have been phys
ical impossibility t. examine al! the details
OF the work, and had to depend on the re-
ports of my subordinates."
For several hours yesterday the Queens
County Grand Jury considered the evidence
against Matthew J. Goldner, who served as
Superintendent OF Sewers under former
Borough President Cassidy, and who had
two indictments returned against him
charging grand larceny. 1t was declared
last evening that the finding of the grand
jury was satisfactory to the prosecution.
which is taken to mean that Goldner has
been reindicted.
The recent report by Commissioner Fos-
dick, which set forth that former Under
Sheriff John M. Phillips of Queens had
worked through a number of irregular con-
tracts for repairing culverts, amounting In
all to about 5000. will be made the next
subject of inquiry.

standing Receiver Certificates.

Frederick W. Whitridge, receiver OF the
Third Avenue Railway system. announced
yesterday that he had paid on $5UVU OF
the g. 300 900 receivers certificates outstaho-
ing and that he expected to pay on an
other $500, 900 shortly.
From the proceeds of the S,0Oo.000 OF re-
ceiver's certificates originally issued *'oU'
600 went for the payment of back frAnchlse
taxes and the remainder for new cars
buildings and other betterments. as well as
the establishment Of a beneficiary assocla-
ton for the employees.
In speaking Of the improvements maze
since he took charge as receiver MI "hit
ridge said yesterday:
when I took charge three years ago
there was not much to the railroao-a
pile of junk. 1 should say.
I'VE bought an entire equipment OF ne"
cars. whipped our power houses into snaps
and erected many new buildings. besides
buying needed supplies Of every descrip-
ton. The result has been a great I'M
provenent in the earnings OF the raiiroao,
which is proved by our ability to pay on
e half million OF receivers certincates'
We must have money In the bank to 90
this, which Is a substantial fact quite clear
to any one"
Mr.. Whitridge added that he was not
going to spend any more money on better
ments and that he would leave the re-
pairing of the tracks to the new manage
ment. This work, he said. would cost about
81 900. 900. but, all things considered, the sys-
tenn was now in first class shape. and II
the reorganization plan went into effect
first class railroad would fall into the
hands OF the new operators.

~ will decree separation for the term
Of one year, the plaintiff to have the use

S. a week for the support of the child. Tine
mother may have the custody of the child,
but only upon condition that the father be
allowed to see the child at all reasonable
times as long as he conducts himself in q
reasonable manner
Saying that the charges were trivial. and
in some cases ridiculous, the justice con-
tinued:
IF these parties will only make an effort
for their own sakes and the sake Of their
child there is no reason why they cannot
live together. But to accomplish this they
must move away from their present home.
and the wife must give up her relatives and
the husband must give up his relatives and
theatrical associates, and they must en-

GIVES RESPITE TO CLEANERS
Borough President McAneny Relents
Until Women Get Other Jobs.

Borough President McAneny has sus-
pended the order for the dismissal of forty
four women. who, witt: eighteen men, were
to be dropped from the force employed to
clean the buildings owned by the city. The
Borough President says the reorganization
of the bureaus general methods will con-
tinue He believes. however, that the aver
age taxpayer will be willing TO give these
women chance to work throughout the
summer, or at least until such time as
those who have appealed in their behalf
can provide them with other work, as most
of them have extreme difficulty in earning
a living
The annual cost square foot for clean
ing city offices in Manhattan has been 81
cents; in Brooklyn 20 cents. while in pri-
vate buildings. where the work is said to
be more effectively done, 1t amounted to
nine cents. Under such circumstances. with
a yearly loss of $4,000 to the city, Mr.. Nc
Aneny said he had determined that the
force must be reduced, and the suspension
is merely to give the women time to get
other work.

WATER POWER BILL KILLED

Albany, June Ex-Governor Hughes has
vetoed the bill OF Assemblyman WhltneS
designed to facilitate the making OF I'M

the provisions of tho statute relating 10
river improvements Tho Governor in a
memorandum made public to-day declares
that tho provision made by the bill for

such plan. and in what 1t does proFioe Is
plainly unsatisfactory
After pointing out the Objectionable feat
ures of tho bill the Governor says the Ian
Suage of the measure means that. what
aver the actual benefit may be. the state
shall not be permitted 10 obtain larger
annual return than per cent. and this is
provided with respect to period perhaps
arty years hence He adds:
The bill admits the principle that there
should be a return to the state upon tne

there appears to be no justification Tor the
Limitation provided for in the bill.
II the state is to make assessments annu-
ally for benefits derived from the water
power development, 1t is plain that these
BENEFITS should be determined justly ana
that the assessment should be fixed fairy
with respect TO them. This BIZ proIlues
no adequate machinery for these purposes.
but simply imposes now an arbitrary iin21-
tation with respect to what may be falr In
