Scott's Quarrel With Equitable in Australia Will Not Stay Settled. SAYS MOTIVE IS REVENGE HIM Sidelight on How Evidence IsPro duccd in Insurance Inquiry. Fiske Defends Child Iilfo Insurance System. CONFEKENCK ON" INSURANCE. WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Thorna E. Dra. the -Superintendent of In surance of the District of Columbia, has iwued a circular letter to the Governor. Attorneys-General and In buranre Commissioners of all the states and territories, inviting them to attend a conference to consider questions relating to insurance, at Chicago on Thursday.. February 1. at 10 A. M. This action follows several conferences on insurance matters which have recently been held In New York and Washington and an Inter view with President Roosevelt last Saturday. NEW YORK, Dec. 14. During the Insur ance investigation today, Edward W. Scott, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance Society, made an earnest apjcal to Chairman Armstrong of the investigating committee to exclude from the- hearing certain statements bearing on his relations with the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of -which he was for merly Australian agent. Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee, had asked Mr. Scott whether the Equitable had not a claim of $100,000 against him. Mr. Scott at first declared there was no such claim against him, and then Mr. Hughes presented letters that passed be tween Mr. Scott and President Alexander on that subject In 1901, In which Mr. Alex ander asked Mr. Scott to make a formal admission in writing that his accounts with the Society, showing: balances of $37,333 due the Society, were accurate. In one letter Mr. Alexander wrote that "Mr. Scott had accepted the accounts. Mr. Scott's letter to Mr. .Alexander proposed a conference, but made no admissions as to the acceptance of the accounts. Only Brought Up in Spite. When these letters had been read Mr. Scott made an earnest plea to the com mittee to rule that this subject was for eign to the Investigation. He declared that he had been pursued by enemies for several years: that In 1900 he caused the arrest and Indictment of a man who had engaged with the Equitable to deliver to It records stolen from the Provident Sav ings Life Assurance Society: that a trait orous bookkeeper who was in league with this man was dismissed from the Provi dent Society's employ, and that It was in connection with these matters that his (Mr. Scott's) relations with the Equitable were reported to the committee and in a spirit of xei'cngc Though Mr. Hughes did not uncover just what tho Equitable Society's claim against Mr. Scott was based on, he brought out from Mr. Scott the statement that such a claim was made and that Mr. Scott refused to settle It. Another Incident In the testimony of Mr. Scott was his statement that when he bought control of the Provident Sav ings Life Assurance Society's stock, he used 525,000 which had been lent by that t-ompany to two of its agents in order to enable them to buy 100 shares of its stock. They did not buy the stock, and Mr. Scott said he took over the loan and delivered to the Society a promise to turn over to it 100 shares of its stock when he got them. It Is now held by a trust com pany to whom-ho still owes 550,000, which he borrowed to buy it. Secrets of Child Insurance. Haley Flskc. president of the Metropol itan Life Insurance Company, asserted that lapses cause no serious loss to the Insured, as the average amount paid on lapsed industrial policies In 1900 was only 72 cents, for which the insured received protection for more than ten weeks. Tho total loss to the company In lapses In ""MO. Mr. Fiske said, was J1.O7O.O0O. the number of policies canceled was 675,392, and tho average loss to tho company was J1.S6 on a policy. Mr. Hughes examined the method by which tho company arrived at these fig ures. Mr. Flskc said that more than 16.000 agents loft the employ of the Metropolitan Comprfny In 1901. It had about 11.000 at the beginning, and about the same num ber at the end of the year. Mr. Hughes went into an exhaustive ex amination of the items composing the cost of setting new business in 1904. in order to compare It with the loss estimated on new business in that year. Child Insurance was taken up. Mr. Fiske recited the efforts of various states to regulate it. Colorado, he said, has prohibited It. He averred that the charge that industrial insurance is child insur ance almost exclusively Is untrue; that It covers entire families in a great many instanccs, and that in all these years no instance of child-murder for Insurance has been reported. He said the amount of a. death claim to be paid on a chi.s death Is -limited, and that infant Insur ance does not lapse so readily as among adults. Expenses of Provident Savings. Mr. Scott next testified. He said his company has retained Andrew Hamilton only in legal cases as previously described. Mr. Scott was examined only .concerning his purchases of the stock of the society and how he raised the money. Mr. Hughes read a statement labeled 'The Campaign Expenses of the Provi dent Savings Life Assurance Company. showing the payment of $2000 to J. Otis Wardwell. of Boston, for appearing before legislative committees, and of $650 to Re publican National and state committees. Mr. Scott said that Walter C. Wright, a Baltimore actuary, was employed by the Tennessee Insurance Department in 1901 to examine the Provident Society, and that In 1902 the company employed him for several services and has paid him $2500 to $3000.

LET LAYMEN RUN BUSINESS Radical Change In Management or Catholic Parish Property. CHICAGO. Dec H. Changes of a far reaching nature In the administration of the temporal affairs of the Roman Cath olic Church were made by the Synod of the Archdiocese of Chicago, hell here to day. The purely temporal matters of every parish will be administered here after by a beard o troatees caasposed. at seven laymen and the 'priest of the par ish, who shall be the chairman of the board. ' Under this agreement -the church gives official recognition to the laymen and does away with the old policy, which places the entire burden of temporal and spirit ual administration under the priests of the parishes. The enactment extending that power to lay members Is a part of Archbishop Quigley's aggressive policy and follows closely the recommendations made by the third plenary council of Baltimore.
