MIN’'ESOTA i LIFE INSURANGE PROBE JOINT LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGA- TION NOW UNDER WAY IN NEW YORK CITY. { BLACK APPEARS FOR THE EQUITAB.LE FORMER GOVERNOR SAYS COM- PANY WILL NOT SEEK TO RETARD INQUIRY. New York, Sept. 7.—Former Gov- ernor Frank S. Black appeared as counsel for the Equitable Life Assur- ance society before the joint legis- lative committee when the committee commenced its investigation of life in- surance conditions in this state, Be- fore the hearing opened Mr. Black saidy **We have nothing to conceal and no We seek no legal technicalities to evade answering any questions. We will aid in every way the progress of the inquiry.” Paul D. Cravath was present in the interests of Thomas F. Ryan and W. C. Gulliver attended as counsel for James Hazen Hyde. Senator Armstrong, in outlining the purposes of the investigation, said: “Our object will not be to pumishi anybody for wrongdoing in the past, but to get at all of the salient features of the modern insurance business so| as to suggest to the next legislature an adequate law that will not only protect the policyholders in all life insurance companies, but will like- wise protect the insurance company management from abuse at the hands of designing persons. Should Be Mutual in Fact. “As most insurance companies are mutual in theory we shall endeavor to pass a law that will compel them to be mutual in fact. Then the officers of the company will always be work- ing for the interest of the potlicyhold- | ers instead of working for themselves by the formation of subsidiary com- panies to divide the profits of the main companies.” A large numrber of the present insurance laws are good. It will be our aim to make them bet-| ter.” Several of the officers of the New York Life Insurance company who had been subpoenaed appeared before the committee and also several offi- cers who were not summoned. With them-came the company’s books cover- ing the business of the past ten years. Vice President Perkins said that no legal counsel was present to representl the company and that needed. James M. Beck represented the Mu- tual Life Insurance company of New York, Lawyers Frank R. Lawrence and Frank H. Platt the Mutual Re- serve Life Insurance company and, Richard V. Lindaberry the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company. Robert A. Grannis, first vice presi- dent of the Mutual Life Insurance company, was called as the first wit- ness. none was e SR OF REUNION MAIN EVENT BIG PARADE OF VETERANS AT THE GRAND ARMY ENCAMP- ¥ MENT AT DENVER. Denver, Sept. 7.—The main event of the Grand Army encampment, speak- ing from the viewpoint of the rank and file, was the grand parade, which occurred during the day. To the vet- eran the privilege of again treading in step with comrades of the bivouac of ’61 is one for which no hardship seems too great to undergo. Many who marched the two miles were ex- hausted whén the end was reached and many others, weakened by age, fell cut of the line long before the journey was completed. These totter- ing old veterans, regretting their in- ability to remain in the parade and giving every evidence of their feel- ings, would be cared for by the per- sons nearest at hand, led to a-place where they could rest and recover from their exhaustion. It was a com- mon sight to see a gray haired old soldier sitting on the curbing gazirg| wistfully at his more sturdy com- rades as they passed him by. 4 The ovation given the marchers was. unstinted. The streets were packed with people and the windows d roofs of the buildings along the e of march swarmed with humanity. The cheering was continuous and the | grizzled old warriors were kept busy bowing acknowledgments and raising their hats in courteous salute. SITUATION IS Yellow Fever Reports Generally Fa- vorable in Character. New Orleans Sept. 7.—With the ex- ception of Laks Province and Tatul- lah, near each other in Northern Lou- isiana, yellow fever reports both from city and csuntry appear favorable in character.. Locally there are many evidences to prove the mosquito the- ory, most conspicuous of which is the fact that in the list of new cases for the preceding twenty-four hours there is not a single one from the original area of infection, the forty-four squares in which the fever first appeared, though there are hundreds of non- immunes in the district. Superhuman work in the matter of disinfection and the eradication of mosquitoes has been done in this section and while the infection has 4% bheen entirely wiped out a day’'s freedod from new cases indicates that the disease has been shorn of much of its power. Only seven new casesgvere reported for the eighteen hours &nding at noon. The deaths for the same period num- ber five, the effect of cooler weather. IMPROVING. lowa Postoffige Robbed. Cartersville, Ia., Sept. 7.—The post- office at this place, located in the gen- eral store of J. M. Suter & €o., was burglarized during the night. One hundred and fifty dollars in money and’ about a dollar’s worth of stamps was taken. The money was in the safe and it was unlocked. The bur- glars smashed the tills inside of the sate and got away with the booty without being discovered. CARRIED CREW CF NINETEEN STEAMER 10SCO PROBABLY LOST IN RECUNT SEVERE STORM ON LAKE SUPERIOR. Pequaming, Mich.,, Sept. 7.—The steamer Iosco of Cleveland, which had the unfortunate schooner Olive Jeanette in tow 'during the destruc- tive storm Sunday, will probably be | added to the gradually growing list of ships which foundered on Lake Su- perior during that great gale. The }losco was commanded by Captain | Nelson Gonyaw and carried a crew of nineteen men. The loss of the crew of the Iosco will bring the total of to thirty-nine. The Iosco and Jeanette, laden with iron ore, left Duluth last Thursday ‘bound for Lake Erie. They were caught in the storm when half way down ILake Superior and apparently turned back in the hope of gaining shelter among the islands east of | Kewennaw peninsula. Just where the .Iosco broke loose from her tow may never be known, but as no steamer was in sight when the Jeanette went {down it is Dbelieved the Iosco found- dered much earlier in the day. NOVEL INJUNCTION DISSOLVED, Coroner’s Jury to Continue Inquest on Murdered Woman. Appleten, Wis.,, Sept. T7.—Judge Goodland of the circuit court has dis- solved the injunction issued by Judge Gritfin, at Crandon, on the afiidavit of J. A. Walsh, to restrain the coroner’s jury from continuing the inquest .on the body of Mrs. Walsh, who was shot and fatally wounded on the night of Aug. 22. Vr. Walsh is district attor- ney and is wife was prominent in the social life of Crandon. Mr. Walsh, in his aflidavit, claimed to have knowl- edge that a verdict would be returned which would work great harm and damage to him and that the coroner’s jury as a body and the jurymen in- dividually had discussed the testimony in a manner prejudicial to him. He asked that the inquest be adjourned until Sept. 15. - BOLT HITS BIG CROWD. One Person Dead and a Score Seri- ously Injured. Richfield, Utah, Sept. 7.—Atlas Bean was killed, Dwight Bean perhaps fa- tally injured and a score of others most seriously hurt by a bolt of light- ning which struck in the center of a crowd of 1,200 persons who were watching the horse races at the. Rich- field fair. More than 200 persons were thrown to the ground and most of them were insensible for several seccnds. Horses tied to hitching posts nearby broke loose and stampeded in all directions. Several of the persons injured were knocked down by runaway horses, but their injuries:are not serious. P - London, Sept. 7.—The attitude of labor towards Joseph Chamberlain’s fiscal policy was emphatically attested by a vote at the day’s session of the Trades Union congress, which is hold- ing its annual meeting at Hanley. By a vote representing 1,253,000 members against 26,000 the congress declared for free trade, asserting that “any. de- parture therefrom would be detri- mental to the interests of the working classes, upon whom the burden of protection would press the most heay- ily.” MANY JEWS ARE SLAIN RIOTERS AT KISHINEFF ATTACK SHOPS, KILLING AND WOUND- ING THE INMATES. DISORDERS CONTINUE IN CAUCASIA | those who lost their lives in the storm ! INCENDIARY FIRES RAGING AT BAKU AND OTHER TOWNS IN THE VICINITY. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—Private ad- vices from Kishineff say that street fighting coptinues there. Roughs are sacking . ti® Jewish shops, killing or wounding many of the inmates. It is said that over a score of soldiers have been killed. The Jewish self-defense committee is active in organizing re- sistance to the trcops. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—Private ad- vices from Baku, Caucasia, say that the “Black Town” district of that city is still burning and also the works at Balakhan, Eibicbat, Nomani and Sa- bunto. The losses amount to millions of roubles. Baku is overhung with dense clouds of smoke and the flames of burning buildings illuminated the city all night long. It is alleged that the disorders were started by Armenians who, disguised as soldiers, fired on Russians and Tar- tars. The Persian consul was asked to act as a pacificator, but he replied that conciliation was impossible with the Armenians, who had killed 200 Persian subjects. Tiflis, Caucasia, Sept. 7.—A dispatch from Elizabethpol says that all of the inhabitants of the Armenian village of Makend, in the district of Zangesursk, have been massacred by Tartar no- mads. Other villages of the district are surrounded by Tartars and the governor is urgently sending for rein- forcements. CHOLERA ™ AREA WIDENING NUMBER OF CASES REPORTED FROM TOWNS ALONG THE RIVER ODER. » ¢ Berlin, Sept. 7—An official bulletin just issued says that thirteen new cases of cholera and two deaths were reported during the twenty-four hours ending at noon, making the total ninety cases and twenty-six deaths. The infected area was sensibly widened during the day. The river Oder has become tainted. Three cases have been reported from the administrative distvict of Frankfort- on-the-Oder in three small places {along that stream. Hamburg, Sept. 7.—A case of chol- era, the third up to date, was found during the day in the heart of the { business and hotel districts here. STILL AWAITING ANSWER. French Government Prepared to Move Against Morocco. Paris, Sept. 7.—The government still awaits word from Fez regarding the sultan’s answer to the French ulti- matum to Morocco, the time limit of which expired Tuesday. It is the firm intention of the ministers to en- force redress without reference to out- side influences. Unofficial intimations have been received that Germany does not sympathize with a2 French mili- tary demonstration against Morocco, as likely to complicate the general Moroetcan question on the eve of the conference. Nevertheless, there is a positive determination here to keep the redress of the outrage in the ar- rest of the Algerian citizen, Bouzian, lLentirely separate from the general question of Morocco and to pursue the question of redress to the end. ‘Whether both military and naval dem- onstrations will be made awaits the final word from Fez. But both branch- es of the service are prepared for eventualities. The ineffectual result of the demonstration of the American squadron at Tangier to secure the re- lease of Ion Perdicaris when he was held a prisoner by Raisuli inclines the authorities here to favor a military movement, striking into the interior instead of at the coast. ¥ TOURISTS QUITTING THE CITY.
