Milwaukee, April 16 —The most sensational of the examination of the Northwestera Mutual Life Insur- ance,Company by the spectal Lagis- lative Investigating Committee was the production of documentary ev!- dence tending to show that Mrs. Henry L. Palmer, wile of the prest!- dent of the company, was @ frequent investor in loans on policies of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, and that on one of these loans, at least, negotiated in 1899, but which wae still running in 1905, she obtained an interest rate of 8 per cent. During a part of the time Mrs. Palmer was obtaining this interest rate, policy loans were being made by the company itself at an interest rate of 6 per ceat. The records of the company for its election of 1904 were produced, showing that a majority of the per- sons who voted proxies were not policy holders of the Northwestern Mutual Life InsuranceCompany, and that thus the rather strange situa- tion was created of non-policy-hold- ers in the company, actually electing the officers who controlled the com- pany business.

Trenton—Because the doctor at- tending Mrs. James E. McLaughlin at the birth of a girl remarked “It’s a fine chap,” the grandmother, who carried the child to the Sacred Heart church to be baptized, had the youngsternamed James Edward Me- Laughlin, jr. The mistake was not discovered until the grandmother arrived home with the baby. As she was passing it back to the mother, she said: “Here is James Edward, jr!” The mother screamed, saying: “Oh, mother, it’s a girl.” The child was taken back to the church to be rechristened, but the Rev.§Father McKean, who baptized the bady, said that as the first bap- tism had been performed according to the rules of the church he could nelther baptize the child again nor change the name. The child may assume a name sults able to hersex untilehe is old enough to be confirmed, when she may take a confirmation name to place before her baptismal name. Little James, by act of legislature, may have the Christian name chang- ed. It is believed the father will have this done, embodying in the act authority for the changing of the records of the charch and the return of the baptismal certificate. Pend- ing the legal procedure necessary to correct the error, the child will be called Hazel.
