Premiums Have Increased: For Fire, $13,638,768.27; for Marine, $1,116,723.13. Hartford, Conn., March 30.—The need of careful attention to the matier of the annual fire waste and the question of the insurance commissioner being given authority to conduct the liquida- tion of insolvent domestic Insurance corporations are subjects of discussion in the forty-fifth annual report of the insurance commissioner covering the operations of fire and marine insur- ance companies doing business in_the state during the year 1303 and which has just been submitted 1o the gov- ermor by Insurance Commissioner Theodore H. MacDonald. In regard to the liquidation of imsurance corpora- tions, the commissioner says: “There are at present no insurance companies of this state in the hands of a receiver. In connection with such procedure I desire to recommend for our consideration that the insurance commissioner have authority to con- duct the liquidation of insolvent do- ‘mestic insurance corporations. This is a matter of vital importance and in- terest to the policyholders of this state. The insurance commissioner should also be able to apply to the court for an order to direct any insurance com pany to show cause why the commis- terests of all policyholdens whenever it becomes known to him that the cor— poration in question has transferred or attempted to transfer through rein- surance or otherwise practically its en- tire property or business, without the approvail of this office.” In regard to the fire waste, the re- port says that “the general subject of conflagration hazard should continue to receive the careful consideration not only of officials but also of citizens and licensed agents and brokers who han- dle the business of fire insurance in this state. It js hoped that the com- panies and authorities will co-operate in promoting more rigid inspection of property and more substantial build- ing codes. There were 154 companies doing business in the state in the period cov- ered by the report, of which number twenty-two were Connecticut compa- The premiume received during 1909 show an increase of $18,638,768.27 for fire and an increase of $1,116,723.60 for marine.

Walters former president of se- lect council, 'who is mow director of public health and charities, was in- dicted today as the alleged recipient of $1,000 in money, and fifteen other former selectmen were chargad in the grand jury’s report today as having received amounts from $500 to 3250. The indictments make a total grand jury within two weeks, and there are more to come, District Attorney William §. Blakeley says. To this end | the Inquisitorial body had before it today thirty more officials, directors and employes of the six banks alleged to have pald money to obtain an ordi- nance naming them as city depositor- ies. There were also four local ex- press agents before the grand jury, which is seeking to trace $45,000 which was sent or taken to New York to be passed over there to ex-Councilman Charles Stewart. T. H. Given, president of the Farm- ers’ Deposit National bank, and Pres- ident Emil Winter of the Working- men’s Savings bank, were among those who testifidd briefly. The progress of the grand jury in its efforts to rea: the men higher up was still undisclose: today, but it is declared that progress is being made and that the naming of more important men is certain fo come soon. The indictment of sixteen former selectmen today was based upon the confession of Stewart that he dis- tributed to these sixteen men $12,000 to buy their votes in favor of the bank ordinances. The grand jury will be in session again tomorrow. John F. Klein, whose confession started the entire expose, went off meckly to the Western penitentiary today to serve a three and a hal® years' sentence. 4 NAUGATUCK PRIEST'S BEQUESTS Will of Rev. J.

PRICE TWO CENTS Insurance Probe ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CORRUP- TION AT ALBANY. HOW CHARTERS WERE OBTAINED Members of Senate Given Stock for Securing Charter—41cCall and Buck- ley Among Those Who Profited. New York March 30.—A new name was brought into the fire insurance investigation today, and another strik- ing example was given of the speed with which aceelerated leg- isiation went h the mills at Albany when the wheels were well- Ereased. Superintendent Hotchkiss gave out | tonight the and birth of the American e Guarantee company, which ‘became the In- ternational Banking & Trust Co. on 100 shares of which (par value $15,000) William H. Buckley, formerly legislia- tive agent for fire Insurance compa- nies at Albany, was able to borrow $13,000 from ~the Phenix Insurance company (fice) of Brooklyn. The parent company, the American Bond and Mortgage company, was pro- moted by Stewart Browne, a private banker of New York city, and was incorporated in 1899 by five inconspic- uous persons of whom little is known | save that one of them was a clerk in the office of Edward McCall, brother of the late president of the New York Life Insurance company, and mow a justice of the supreme court. They were Ensign O. Beale, Daniel E. Lynch, John Farrell, ‘William S. Waddy and Jehn H. McCrahon. How Charter Bill Was Introduced. ‘The blll of incorporation was intro- duced in the legislature by Senator Loufs F. Goodell, who represented Or- ange county from 1899 to 1906. The books ef the compeny show:that Sen- ator Goodell ived 100 shares from Stewart Browne and they are recorded as paid for in full. Senmator Goodell said over the telephone tonight: “Yes, I remember that I had 100 shares. I got rid of them damn quick.” He said he could not recall why he introduced the bill or remember the charter. “T suppose” he said, “that some of my friends from New York or Port Jer- vis must have asked me to. The- Power Conferred. Yet this charter was an_extraordi- nary document. It conferred on the company power to do almost anything from conducting a pawn shop to es- tablishing a storage warehouse. This was the bill introduced by Sen- ator Goodell, It went into the com- mittee on rules, stayed there one day, was reported favorably and was ad. vanced rapidly from the first and sec. ond readings to the third. In the mean- time its progress in the assembly was equally rapid, nofseless and smooth, and in the closing days of the sesaion it became a law, The charter was so wvaluable taat when the company was later reorgan- ized by Browne into the International Banking & Trust Co., the powerful North American Trust company ag- quired it and when that In turn was absorbed By the present Trust Com- pany of America, of which Oakicigh ‘Thorne is now president, it became in turn a prize asset. “I remember the charter well,” sald Browne tonight over the telephone, “it was a remarkably good charter.” Buckley and McCall Profited. Senator ‘Goodsell was not the only one who had a chance to profit. Will- iam H. Buckley was _allotted 100 shares as was Justice McCall, then a practicing lawyer. The _company’ books also show that on May 15. 189" McCali received $2.000 and on June 19, 1899, $13,000 for legal fees—making a total of $15.060, equal to the par value of his 100 shares, which, aceo: ing to records, he paid for, as did also Buciley. Elijah R Kenmedy. another of the legislative agents of the insurance men at Albany, who was on the stand at the opening of the investigation has ‘been called to appear when the inquiry is resumed tomorrow. Among others ‘who have been summoned are John B. Lungen, vice president of the Trave! ers Insurance company of Hartford, who is_expected to tell something about the four payments aggregating lSZl.lM made by his company to Buck- ey. WILL CURTAIL POLICE GRAFT. Mayor Gaynor's Restricting Powers of New York Police. New York, March 30.—Mayor Gay- nor’s letter last night, practically fo: Didding the police to make arrests for liquor law violations, and placing that duty with _the state excise department and the district attorney’s office, will gostail potice. sra, it tx_ generally thought, but doudt ' is some quarters of the effect the new order will have on Sunday eelling. It might_cut out blackmail, but will ¥ keep the side doors clomed > The mayor. fearing that his motives were misinterpreted. jet it be known today that by cal¥ing off the police he was not ng a more liberal Sun- day, but rather expected the law enforced with a “dryer” if not a Sunday as 2 result. District Attorney Whitman guarded in what he had to say. “T want to co-operate with the may- or,” he said, “and I shall co all I can to assist. The new system ought to diminjsh the blackmail said to exis but it throws a good deal of work o this office.’ Next Sunday’s developments are awaited with interest by laymen, cler- gy and lawyers. GLOVER WILL CASE. Judge of Probate Forbids Evidence Regarding the Murder. Cambridge, Mass., March 30.—A halt the probate investigating in the murder of Clarence P.

For several weeks much of the evi- dence which would naturally come out in the eriminal courts has been intro- duced. Today, Seymour Glover. the only brother favored in the will, was asked questions reflecting upon his own record. Judge McIntyre then sharply cen- sured the attorneys who are trying to break the will and ordered that mno more_evidence be introduced regard- ing the murder. He did, earlier in the day. permit the introduction as ex- hibits of the revolver and bullets which killed Glover. James J.
