Some Of the organizations and indi-

campaign are now going to work for
an amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States outlawing the to-
bacco Industry. Nicotine Next" Is
their motto. but the fact that tobacco
does not have to bear the burden OF
low and law dofying resorts which
weighed down King Alcohol is likely
to make this task harder than was

John R. Heggeman,
Life Insurance
President, Dies
Head of Metropolitan Com
pany Was Figure in 1905
Inquiry; Ill 2 Years, but
Active Until 2 Months Ago

MAMARONICK, N. Y, April G.
John Rogers Hegeman, president of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
since October, 1891, died to-day at his
home at Orienta Point. He had been
i'll for two years Although his phvsi-
clan had advised him two years ago to
retire from business, Mr.. Hegeman
occasionally visited his office to handle
important matters until about two
months ago. AT that time his physician
told hlm that his condition was such
that he ought not to leave his home.
Although the life insurance scandal
OF 1908 centred about other companies
than the Metropolitan in its more spec
tacular phases, the brunt of the Grim
mai actions resulting fell upon Mr..
Hegeman. Ten indictments were re-
Seven of them charged him with
forgery in the third degree in that
certain transactions were omitted from
the books of the company Three
charged him with perjury in making
false statements to the State Banking
Department.
The directors of the Metropolitan
stood by the president of their com
pany He retained their confidence and
eventually all the indictments were
dismissed.
Mr., Hegeman was born in Brooklyn.
April IS, 1874. He became an &C
countant for the Manhattan Life In
surance Company in 1866. In June.
four years later he was made secretary
OF the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. He became vice-president
of the company four months later.
The New York home Of Mr.. Hegeman
was at 10 Madison Avenue. He was
married in 1870 to Miss Evelyn Lyon,
Of Brooklyn. She died October "a
1914. A son, John r. Hegeman. ir.'
survives Mr. Hegeman, and was with
him when he died
ME- Hegeman was a director of the
Metropolitan Bank, the National Surety
Company and q trustee of the Hamilton
Trust Company of Brooklyn and the
Union Dime Savings Bank He was q
member of the New England Society
and the Holland Society.
FOR thirty years he had spent much
of his time at his country home here.
and he took an active part in the life
OF the community. He was a director
of the First National Bank of this
place and member of the Mamaroneck
Building and Loan Association, the
Mamaroneck Hook and Ladder Com
pany and several other organizations.
Two months ago while his illness
confined Mr. Hegeman to his bed, the
hook and ladder company was called
to his estate to fight a fire in his
garage. Despite the efforts of the fire
men the garage and a barn were de-
stroyed and for time it was feared
that Mr.. Hegeman would have to be
carried to safer place than his home.
Funeral services will be held Wednes-
day morning at the Salem Baptist
Church, New Rochelle, of which The

held to his refusal to come to Temple
EmanuEl He came to organize Free
Synagogue.
He gave to the effort ali of his Won
derfully dynamic enthusiasm, with the
result that the Free Synagogue, from
the start, occupied an important place
in the regious activities of the city.
1t is pulpit that attracts Jews and
Gentiles alike. 1t is an ethical culture
centre that knows few racial or sec
tartan inhibitions.
At the time Of Rabbi Wise's decision
to decline the pulpit of Temple Emanu-
Ell he was preaching in the Congrega-
ton Beth Israel in Portland, Ore. His
ministry there had followed a brilliant
service in New York. When he an
city the Portland congregation offered
to elect him as rabbi for life and to
compensate him with one of the largest
stipends ever offered to a minister OF
religion. But Rabbi Wise insisted that
there was larger opportunity IN New
York, although he was coming to work
that was purely experimental and that
required tremendous faith in his own
powers of accomplishment
Announces Purpose
DR.. Wise announced his decision
with this statement:
"My purpose will be to preach that
the religion of Israel is not Pales-
tinan sect nor an Asatic creed, but
religion with vital message. We
will not innovate, but will conserve the
vital things in the religion of Israel
The movement will be free within and
without. There will be no class dis
tinctions and no pew system. The
pulpit will be free and unmuzzled
true to the genius Of Judaism. Finally
the movement will stand for progress
sive Judaism, unclaimed by the tradi-
tions of the past and not in bondage
save to truth and righteousness"
Ever since coming to this city DR.
Wise has lived up to his announced
programme.
Endowed by nature with voice OF
remarkable volume and most unusual
carrying qualities, he has always been
an eloquent preacher. By many he has
been regarded as the most eloquent OF
the present day rabbs. Some go so fan
as to say that he has never had peer
in eloquence in this country.
He speaks with marked intensity and
with great assurance. To his auditors
it never seems as If he is on debatable
ground. He speaks as one having the
duCHOTlJV OIL dDSOlutc certainty.
His pulpit mannerisms are few. He
depends for his oratorcal effects upon
the volume of his voice and his keen
sense of dramatic values. His sem
tences are short, crisp and to the
point. There are no equivocations.
At first he condemned the efforts
making toward national preparedness
But as the issues of the war began to
stand out in bold relief DR.. Wise soon
aligned himself with what it has be-
come the custom to call the forces of
righteousness"
He coined the expression "Assassin-
aucracy" to define the system of gov
ernments in the Teuton empires and in
Turkey. He used this expression with
telling effect and at a great meeting of
the League to Enforce Peace, held in
Philadelphia IL 1918, he brought the
audience to its feet as he dwelt upon
the word.
DR.. Wise early gave specifications
for his programme OF pulpit freedom.
He attacked evil in high places and in
