cd that buildings on streets sixty feet

sress known as Il. r. le10 was urged.
This measure Is an amendment TO the
Panama Exposition bill for the protection

bition here by foreigners

NEW INSURANCE PROBE
Carmody Acts in Case of Store
Benefit Society.

Attorney General Carmody has de
termined 10 begin proceedings for the
dissolution OF the charter of the mutual
benefit society attached to the store OF
Kessner & Co. prior to the dissolution OF
the firm. in order that the employees may
get the money which they had contributed
10 the fund.
Complaints have been received at the
Office OF the State Insurance Department
regarding the disposition OF the funds not
only OF this association. but also OF those
which had been organized By the employees
~ the firm OF Simpson Crawford ant
the Fourteenth Street Store. The funds
Of the last named had been deposited in
the private bank maintained by Henry
siegel & Co.
The Insurance Department determined
10 make an investigation OF the conduct
and method Of management OF the various
mutual aid associations maintained by the
several department stores OF the city.
The work was assigned 10 MIR. Conway,
chief examiner. by Deputy Superintendent
Hoey. who inquired into the method OF
collecting dues and assessments. II was
found that the associations in all the
stores were doing a philanthroplc work
Of great scope and merit and at mini
mum OF cost to the persons concerned in
them. These associations have been aid
ed by the firms. and their work supple
mented frequently at the expense OF the
nrms
some criticism il made. however. OF tho
manner OF investing the funds in certain
cases which have been mixed with the
accounts Of the arm.

planned Of the heavy feeling IN his head.
Il am confident that II he can be
reached in any way it will be through a
newspaper I only hope that some one
will read about him or recognize him
from a photograph
