national convention of insurane COM
missioners yesterday.
Insurance supervisors Of 81 States,
representatives of life insurance COM
panies, and John F. Slack, examiner for

ton, attended the meeting.
The purpose of the conference, Gar
field w. Brown, Minnesota State COM
missioner and president of the conven-
ton said, was to discuss the need for
uniformity of insurance restrictions
which are in effect in many States.

looked this angle in granting Mooney
trial April 26 on heretofore unused
murder indictment growing out of the
bombing, in which 10 persons were
killed and 40 injured O'Gara quoted
legal authorities to back up his stand.
Judge Ward said he was familiar with
the authorities quoted, but set April Is

MISS KANE REVEALS
.POSNER RELATIONS
"Boop-a-D -Doop" Singer Says
Bankrupt Concerns Head
Gave Her Presents.
BY the Associated Press.

=
NEW YORK. April 8.-Helen, Kane,
the 'boop-a-doop" singer, testified she
had been "very friendly" with Murray
A. Posner, head of the bankrupt Bond
Dress Co., on the witness stand yester-
day in the suit Of the irving Trust
Co. to recover $4,000 which it alleges
was paid to her as a preferred creditor.
The Irving Trust Co., as trustee for
the dress company, claims Miss Kane
gave Posner the money to invest in his
business, while Miss Kane's contention
Is that she gave it to him to invest
In Liberty bonds.
Miss Kane wiped away a few tears
and spoke almost inaudibly as counsel
for the trust company questioned her
regarding her relations with PoSner.
She admitted she went out with him
frequently, almost every day and
that she received very substantial
gifts" from him. She admitted she was
married at the time.
She was unable to explain why in
April, 1880, Posner paid her $500 di-
rectly by check, but two months later
concealed similar payment of 5000
to retire loan, through third party
because he did not want the banks
to think he was giving money to an
actress"
"But 1t was public property ana
every one knew that Posner and you
were friends and that you were out al
most every night and day?" asked I.
Gainsberg, counsel for Irving Trust.
"Yes," replied Miss Kane.
"And you made no secret Of the
jewels he gave you and you would say
gave me that?'"
"Yes," she answered.
Previously, on direct examination,
she said she gave Posner large sums
of money to invest in bonds. Later
they quarreled over his use Of the
money and, she testified, she got 1t
back only after pressure was brought
to bear on him.
