A LETTER FROM C. C, HINE, EDITOR OF THE “INSURANCE MONITOR,” THE OLDEST INSU- RANCE JOURNAL IX THE COUNTRY. OFFics oF IxsURAXCE Moxtror, No, 187 BRoaDWway, New Yorx, Jan. 6, 1886. Henry €. Robinson, Esq., Director Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Har(ford. Conn. DeEAR SrR: The correspondence between Messra. Greene and Batterson, published yes- terday and to-day, and the important interests to which it is collateral, induce me to write to you and to the other Directors of the Connecti- cut Mutual. I am advised by those who think they know, that I miscalenlate your power in the premises, that Mr. Greene holds the prox- fes, and Instead of being your servant ts really the opposite; but I will take the chances of error in that statement and say what I think I ought, at a venture. Thave criticised the Connecticut Mutual, and shall continue to criticise it, because the facts of its recent history furnish evidence which Is conclusive to my mind of the incompetency of its management and the falseness of 1ts publi statements. I will confine myself to those two points in this communication, Of my own personal knowledge I state that you are carrying in your real estate schedule Properties to which you have no title—not one or two, but multiplied examples where defective title at the outset, misdescription, orother cloud has uitimated in making that schedule false in numerous and important particulars, To @ much greater extent it fs false in the absurd over-valuations which {t contains, Under the cover of “Cost Value” properties are entered at the aggregated amounts of the original loan, plus defaulted interest and cost of foreclosure, which are not now and never were worth a respectable fraction of the sums they represent. Several of these present the appear ance of barefaced swindles upon the company, never having produced a single payment of interest; parties having apparently unloaded undesirable property on you and pocketed your money! if you choose to visit me at my office, | bringing a copy of your schedule of real estate, I will point out chapter, verse, and line. at least $2,000,000, and I believe I have the facts in my possession which will be conclusive 1p that direction to any person who will care- fully examine them. I shall pubiisb them In due time. Further detait is unnecessary here, but ample details are available to you if yo! choose to acquire them. Tu regard to the inefficiency of the present management, one needs only to examine the statistical history of the compan, in the annual reports to ascertain that. It is not very many years since the Connecticut ‘Mutual stood at the head not only of American companies but of the companies ot the world. It was doing 9 larger business and enjoying a larger preinium Income and a wider popularity than the Mutual Life of New York, and wasa great company before the Equitabie was born, und the way was clear for {t to maintain tha supremacy and retain to Hartford a lead in lite Insarance even more notable than has beea maintained there in fire. Instead of that, more than $30,000,000 of risks have run off your books in excess of what has gone on since Mr. Greene became Seeretary, and four years after that date a decadence began which bis continued ever since and throughout bis entire Presidency without a break,and the very year he became Secretary your premium receipts | began to fall off, and from that day to th there has never been a year in which they equaled the premiums of the year preceding, and they were, at the date of the last published report, $3,134,362 less than they were four- teens years before, in 1870, when he be came Assistant Secretary. These are merely couple of broad underlying facts. I need not go into details, of which there are many,all discreditable to the company and condemna- tory of the management, In my opialon Mr. Greene has been a blight upon the company from the day he entered its doors. I regard him asa mischievous crank, who wields a nim- Die pen and is tmpelled by an imperial vanity to Uhe commission of ucts ‘njurious to the com- pany which employs him, and controlled by an equally imperial obliquity which involves him In the neglect of obvious duties, and my plain exhortation to you ts to sit down on him —promptly and heavily threatening to precipitate a conflict. which must inevitably result Injurlously to your company, and which cau serve no other pur- pose than to afford him an opportunity to pos- ture as @ high moral reformer, while he im- putes unélean motives and unrighteous acts to his superiors in the business. I, therefore, asa policy holder of twenty-two years’ standing, beg to call your attention to what seems to me to be your Very plain and Imminent duty It is more than thirty years since my connec- tion with Hartford insurance companies began, and you are at liberty to show this letter toany of the older members of the profession in Hart- ford—as we are personally strangers—and ascer- tain their opinion as to my reliability, and whether I would be itkely to utter such a letter as this without probable ample reasons tor #0 doing. Itake the liberty of further remarking that itmay pay you to follow these matters up. It is possible that I am a truer and more consist- ent friend of the company than some who stand in closer relations to it,and that I may atthe present juncture be ina position todo ita genuine service. Yours respe@tiully, C. C. Arse. P.S.—Ihad not, at the time of dictating the above, discovered Mr. Greene's second letter. He appears to have already “precipitated!” Contrary to my originai design, shall give this letter to the public, as Ithink hts game of cut- tle fish has been played long enouzh, and people should Know something of tne true record of the charlatan who is hunbugging them, befog- ging the truths of life insurance, wasting the money that he fs paid to protect, and bringing contempt upon an honorable and useful call- ing.

Speciat Dispatch to TAR EVEXINo Stam. CoL.UMBvS, O., Jan. 7.—It was discovered, late Inst night, that the senate journal had been changed after the adjournment of that body yesterday. In therules as adopted yesterday re- garding the rights of members to their seats cer- tain courses had tobe pursued. By interlineations 1m lead pencil these provisions were changed by “motions” being added after “resolutions, which changed all the protective features of the minority, In the Senate this morning the re- publicans made an effort to have the Journal corrected, but this was voted down by astrict party vote. The changes were made by Clerk Vallandingham, who, under the new rales, is greater man than the President of the Senate himself. The democrats held another very spirited caucus last night,at which an attempt was made to nominate a United States Senator, but it was finally decided to take no action in that direction until after the republicans had made their nomination and the comtuittee on privi- leges_and elections had made thelr report on the Cineinnat! election cases. In the Senate the democrats are in the major. ity, and the gag rule is very rigidly adhered to by the previous question being moved, Investigators Who Didn't Investigate. ‘The democratic members of the committee on privileges and elections have just returned from Cincinnati and are very bitter over the action of the majority of the committee in rushing through the investigation without In- Vestlgatlng. They claim that the whole thing was a farce, and that no attention was paid to Mr. Cole's resolution, which was attached to that or Mr. Brown, which read, “And each of the members now holding seats in this house from Hamilton county shall have the privilege of appearing before the cominittee on privileges and elections, and produce such testimony a3 may sustain their rights to such seats under this resolution.” It is elaimed that not one of the members or their attorneys were permitted to appear before the committes, although summoned todo so.
