This decision of the legislative commit- tee and its counsel became known this week. That Superintendent of Imsurance Hendricks will be called to the stand in the next few days is now a certainty. Employes of his department will also be called. A possible, if not probable, result of this will be to extend the investigation over into 1906 by a renewal of authority to this committee by the incoming Legis- lature or by the appointment of a new committee, with most of its members chosen from the present. There still remain the Prudential of Newark, the Aetna ¢f Hartford and half & dozen more of the larger companies to be examined, as well as a host of HER HUNTERS Without Having Seen the Disabled Ship Roanoke MAY BE GOING NORTH Captain of San Gabriel Re- ports Seeing Steamer 200 Miles - Beyond Eureka The shipping world is beginning to worry about the steamship Roanoke. It was reported on Thursday that she had passed Point Arena in tow of the tug Defiance, and it was expected that early yesterday morning would see her safely in this port. It must have been some other vessel that passed Point Arena, for yesterday morning the tug Defiance re- turned ‘to port alone. Captain James re- ported -that he had beem unable to find the disabled steamer. Then came a telegram from Eureka. The steamer San Gabriel had arrived thers and Captain Green of that vessel reported having passed a steamer that he took to pe the Roancke at 8 o‘clock p. m. on Wednesday about six miles west of Northwest Seal Rock. The Roanoke, if it was she, was steering northwest. It Captain Green saw the Roanoke she was then about 200 miles north of Eureka, and the supposition is that she was mak- ing her way back to Astoria, having found too much opposition in the way of head winds to reach this port before her provisions gave out. The Roancke, in command of Captain Dunham, left Astoria Noyember 2 for this port by way of Eureka. She had on board about eighty passengers, As she started to cross the Humboldt River bar on Mon- day afternoon a wave smashed her rudder and the ebb tide carried the helpless steamer off shore. She hoisted signals of distress and the tug Ranger was sent from Eureka to her assistance. The Ranger returned to Eureka the next day, reporting that she had steod by the Ro- smaller oncs, and the many fraternal or- ganizations of an indurance character. anoke all night, that a jury rudder had We Cure Men For 12 Until Janvary 1st We Will Treat Any Single Un- complicated Ailment Under Absolute Guarantee No Pay Unless Cured In view of there being so affiicted with oprivate chronic d_physicians without to make a soecial offer to chargs nly £ of our regular fee for curing those who are ~ now undergolng treatment elsewhers and are dissatisfied, provided they come to us before January 1. 18¢6.

On Wednesday morning the President Granniss, it is understood, has been Smith's sponsor in the Mutual, but his support of the company’s ‘literary agent” has been withdrawn. 3 Andrew C. Fields, formerly head of the supply department of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, who maintained a house at Albany during several sessions of the State Legislature, {s no longer connected with that company. Frederick Cromwell, the temporary president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, to-day announced that W. S. Sullivan, formerly in the advertising department of the Mu- tual, has been appointed head of the sup- ply department. It is understood that Fields will not return to bé examined by the insurance investigating committes Following the resignation of Justice Rufus W. Peckham, the resignatioms of several other Mutual Life trustees are looked for this month. Further drastic recommendations are expected soon from the Mutual Life's house-cleaning committee affecting con- ditions thus far untouched, but of far- reaching Importance. ~ It is considered entirely unlikely that District Attorney Jerome will interfere in the affairs of any insurangce company this year. It was reported yestarday that certain trustees of the Mutual Life, incensed at the attempt of certain finance committeemen to block the work of the Truesdale house-cleaning committes, would ask Jerome to lay certain facts before the Grand Jury. Ex-President McCurdy of the Mutual Life, #t was reported last night, is con- sidering leaving Morristown, N. J., for a trio south and may nét be able to reappear before the legislative insurance committee. ALBANY, N.

It is a case of walit and hope, with an extra hepe that the walting will not be for long.
