Mew York's Fire Insurance In

Insurance Affair.
LARGE SUMS WERE USED
Testimony Shows That Board of Un

Money for Legislation II-
I legal Bill Passed.
NEW YORK, March IS. With every
indication that further astonishing rev
elations would be forthcoming, the In
quiry beg-un yesterday into the meth
ods employed in influencing legislation
at Albany affecting fire insurance com
panies was resumed by Superintend
ent of Insurance Motchklss here today.
There was general expectation that
the Inquiry might rival . that of the
Armstrong Investigation of life lnsur
nce affairs in l06-6.
Kennedy Handled Sack.
Testimony already has been pre
sented to show that the New York
Board of Kire Underwriters, composed
of officers of lire insurance companies
doing business in New York, spent con
siderable sums for legislative purposes,
Mid for many years the legislative
representative of the insurance com
panies had been Elijah It. Kennedy, an
elderly and wealthy Brooklyn man.
It was brought out that during the
3 901 session t the legislature, the one
during which the Allds-Conger affair
developed, the Insurance companies had
a bill prepared providing that their re
insurance funds be considered liabili
ties and consequently not subject to
taxation, contrary to a decision of the
Court of Appeals under the law as it
bad stood. The hill panned but was not
signed by Governor Odell until Just
before the expiration of the 30 days'
period following, legislative adjourn
ment. Valuable "Presents" IMsbursed.
Other testimony was given to the ef-f-c.
that about 15000 had been dis
bursed as presents to various persons
with political influence to get the bill
through the Legislature. Including to00
to George W. Aldridge of Rochester,
member of the Republican state com
mittee, and that a contribution of f 5000
had been made to the Republican stato
committee from funds In Mr. Kennedy's
hands; also that Governor Odell was
opposed to the bill and had decided to
veto it, but. according to Mr. Ken
nedy's testimony, had,

Kennedy, reversed his

of his worth and you took his word for
it, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did, at that time," the wit
ness replied.
Mr. Ralston said some of the notes
were Interest-bearing, but that none
of them had ever paid interest during
his connection with the bank. He
sold his stock to Moore for an advance
of ten cents on the dollar. He said
this price was asked because," at that
time, he and Morris had declared a
surplus of $10,000. and, figuring on this
surplus, he thought his stock was
worth ten points more. Moore then
paid him the difference and his note
was taken out of the bank and Moore's
I deposited for the stock.
Ralston Wealth Told.
One of the jurors asked Mr. Ralston
if he were really worth the amount of.
the note at that time. The witness
answered that- he. was worth ten times,
that amount then. Mr. Fulton wanted
to know If he were still worth that
amount.
"I am worth 40 times that amount
now," he replied.
Mr. Ralston testified that the bank
had never paid any dividends but that
it had made money by lending its
funds and that this money was taken
to create the $10,000 surplus.
Owing to demands on Judge Bro
naugh by the Juvenile Court the Moore
trial was not resumed In the afternoon,
the case being continued until Monday
morning.

fact that the bank was in trouble, re
plied that he had learned of it August
an, the day before the bank closed. In
mme way through the officials, he said,
the tellers and clerks had gleaned the
information and discussed it during the
day.
Mr. Moore, Schultz testified, had been
about the bank the entire day busily en
gaged in hi duties, and all the di
rectors of the bank were seen there at
S o'clock and went into the directors'
room to hold a meeting, he presumed.
"o Interest Paid.
A. T. Smith was called next. He
said he had owned $5000 worth of stock
In the bank, had paid for It with his
note, on which he had not paid any in
terest, and that when he sold his in
terest he merely received his note in
return. He said he had not seen any
stock certificates. Mr. Smith testified
that he had been connected with the
bank for more than a year and had
attended one meeting of the directors,
at which Moore was present.
Mr. Ralston, the last witness called,
had not completed his testimony when
the court adjourned for the day. He
will be placed on the stand again on
Monday morning. He is at present the
president of the American Bank and
Trust Company. He said he and Morris
had organized the Oregon Savings
Bank in 1904, each giving his note for
$25,000, and each depositing $3500 in
cash. C. A. Devins had subscribed for
$24,500. and a Mr. Lancaster for $25,
000. The stock was never delivered.
The certificates were written out, he
said, but were never torn out of the
stock. They were to be held there until
the notes were paid, he said. In a
short time, he testified", he. and Morris
reorganized the bank by returning
Devins and Lancaster their notes for
$49,500.
Some of the stock was then sold to
A. T. Smith, Ralston's father, and a
man named Sweeney. Smith and Ral
ston, Sr., gave notes for their stock,
while Sweeney, not haying cash, trans
ferred a brick building in Oswego.
This left $20,900. Mr. Ralston testi
fied, which had not been taken, so he
deposited his note for that amount to
make a showing for the bank. Then,
lie said, he instructed Morris to sell
the stock, payments to be credited on
liis note. Walter H. Moore bought
$5000 worth of stock four morrths after
the bank was opened, and later bought
stock valued at $10,000. He gave his
note for both these purchases.
Notes Not Secured.
At this point in Mr. Ralston's testi
mony one of the jurors asked the
banker If any of these notes were se
cured. "No. they were not." he replied. "All
of the men who were in the bank
were wealthy men and worth ten times
the amounts of their notes."
Was Cooper Morris a wealthy man?"
Mr. Fitzgerald asked the witness.
"He told me he wa' the witness re
plied. "And you took his word for it,
didn't youT' asked Mr. Fitzgerald.
"He made a statement to me that
he owned $52,000 worth of property,"
replied Mr. Ralston.
"Did you ever make any investiga
tion to ascertain the truth of this?"
asked Mr. Fitzgerald.
"No. I did not." was the reply.
"Then you let him have this $25,000
worth of stock on bis own statements
HOW BOY CAUGHT COOK
SEVEXTKKX-YEAR-OLD TALKED
NORTH POLE TO "CRAIG.
What Happened on Steamer Osiris
Between Montevideo and Valdivia
Told In Lad's Letter Home.
. NEW YORK. March . 17- Toun?
Daniel C. Riker. aped 17 years, the son
of C. B. Riker. a New York druj? dealer,
was one of the fellow passengers of r.
Frederick A. Cook when the famous
Arctice explorer was t rave ling along1
the South American Coast without the
mustache under the alias of F. Craigr.
The boy was the travel in fir companion
of F- L. UpJoHn, who dispersed, the
mystery of Cook's long disappearance
by cabling: that Craig was Cook.
In the following letter just received
by the elder Riker here is the story
of how suspicions were aroused and
Dr. Cook's identity established, told in
young Riker own words:
On Board the S. P. Osiris. CoaPt of Chile.
Feb. 11. 1910 My Dear Home Folks: We
are now nearly at the end of our voyage
frorri Buenos Aires to Valdivia. a small
town In Chile.
I have to tell you a Very Interesting story:
When we boarded this boat In Montevideo,
we were surprised to see two Americans
on board, so we asked the steward to please
put ua In with some people that could' speak
En j?lih at the dining-room tablet
We were, therefore, placed next to thesa
Americans, a man and his wife. The
natural tendency when meeting new peo
ple is to find out where they lived, their
occupation, etc On asking these two Amer
icans different question of that nature, wo
found that they liked to change the story,
and by their peculiar actions we began to
thix.k that something was wrong some
where. Mr. Upjohn talked it over with
me and we wondered who the man was.
We had learned from their conversation
many things to arouse our suspicion that
they had mysteriously . shipped from the
United States. i
They would not tell us exactly what date
they left New York or on what boat they
sailed. His wife once made a break, and
called him Fred, and then another timet she
called him doctor, and the name on the list
was down as Mr. F. Craig. Mr. Upjohn
came up from his cabin yesterday, and
said to me. "I know now who be ts; he's
rr. Frederick Cook, who has skipped from
New York. He cut off his beard and was
down under an assumed name."
Today we said something about the North
Pole, and I never saw a fellow get nervous
prostration before. I thought he was go
ing to faint. He began talking about some
thing else and would not take his eyes off
the table, while his wife got as red as a
beet, and also tried -to change the subject
We then said, "Let's get them after din
ner and try to get their pictures to see
what happens.' We did get them and we
said that wc wanted to have the pictures
of all the people at our table. They said:
"Oh, no; we are not dressed well enouKh."
He said that he would go to his stateroom
and put on another suit, and we could then
take his picture.
We knew that If he did that he wouldn't
show up again, so I snapped his picture
as he was arguing whether he should go
and change his 'clothes or not. Afterward
we got them all together In a group and
he tried to stand behind the others and
pulled his hat over his eyes; she was look
ing at some one behind her. I then made
out that I took the picture, but 1 didn't.
I waited until they started to separate,
and then I got their pictures, both together,
looking right at the camera.
Mr. Upjohn has knowu Cook before, and
he says that he looked exactly like, only
he hasn't any mustache or beard like when
he knew him; they are now, wise that we
know who they are. and they are all packed
up and I think they will get off at Val
divia, and try to lose themselves so that
nobody on the boat will know where they
are going.
If by any chance this man Is not Cook,
he Is a crook that has escaped, I have
altogether four photos of him, so I will be
able to determine, when I get home. If It Is
really Cook.
We get off at Valdivia tomorrow morning
and go to Conoepclon. Your loving son,
a DANIEL. C. RIKER,
P. S. we went ashore at Valdivia oday
and found some magazines In a hotel with
a lot of pictures of Cook In it. We are now
positive that Mr. Craig Is really Mr. Cook.
Mr. Upjohn telegraphed the news and signed
his name to it,, so you probably read about
It in the papers. If it had not been for us,
he would never have been known. I have
played many games of double soiltalre and
checkers with Cook and I can say that I
have beatenjilm nine times out of ten I
am sending you one of his signed wine cards.
MINERS VOTE TO COMBINE
Western Bodjr Will Join American
Federation of Labor.
DENVER, March 19. Preliminary re
turns on the vote being taken by the
unions of the Western Federation of
Miners on the proposition to affiliate
with the American Federation of La
bor, indicated that the issue would car
ry by a substantial majority. At head
quarters here It was announced yester
day that the votes of the Montana
unions, which strongly oppose the prop
osition, haye not yet been received,' but
that, whichever way they vote, the re
sult cannot be changed.
The matter has been fought out year
ly at the annual conventions of the
Federation, and only last year were its
supporters able to secure indorsement
of their resolution to send a committee
to confer with officials of the United
Mine Workers of America. This con
ference was held at the recent annual
convention of the Eastern miners' or
ganization. ,
If the Federation vote is in favor of
affiliation, a department of mining will
be formed within the American Fede
ration of labor, with the Eastern min
ers" organization controlling the miners,
and the Western organization in charge
of the metalliferous field.
50 MEN TO SCRUTINIZE
Document to Be Investigated Des
pite Protest, Result to Be Void
If Hearing- Denies Right' to
Examine Xames.
CHICAGO, March 19. (Special.) Cru
saders against the existence of the saloon
In Chicago were brought to a halt today
when the Board, of Election Commission
ers decided to investigate the legality of
the petition through which It had been
expected the voters would be given a.
chance on April 5, to pass on the ques
tion. "Shall the city become anti-saloon
territory?"
With Its- order for a checking of the
namt on the petition with the poll
books of the city, following a formal pro
test against the petition filed late yester
day afternoon by the United Societies, the
Board also decided to hear arguments J
.uonaay morning as to tne regularity or
the proceedings to investigate the names.
This apparently contradictory' conclusion
wan in the interest of time, it being the
understanding that if the Board finally
decides it has no right to, examine the
names, then the work already done In
that direction will be of no force or
effect.
This second phase of the Commissioners'
ruling was a concession to the anti-saloon
advocates, who, through their attorneys,
requested to be allowed a little time in
which to outline their defense concerning
the attack-made by tile United Societies.
Attorneys for the Anti-Saloon League
were told they would forfeit none of their
rights by consenting that a start on the
investigation be made at, once.
Following the action of the Board,
Chief Clerk John C. Cannon said he
would set 25 teams.' of at least "two men
each, at work on the petition this after
noon and by working in three shifts of
eight hours hoped to have the task com
pleted sometime next Tuesday. That will
give the Commissioners time in which to
pas, on the findings, and still be able to
send the "copy" for the Spring election
ballots to the printer Wednesday.
BOGUS" PICTURE IS .REAL
Artist, 7 2, Identifies Alleged "Fake"
Canvas as Genuine.
NEW YORK, March 19. F. Hopkin
son Smith, painter and author, was
the chief witness yesterday in the suit
brought by William T. Evans against
William Clausen, an art dealer, to re
cover 13600 for two pictures Evans
bought from Clausen as genuine
"Homer Martins," and which experts
have pronounced bogus. Homer Mar
tin was one or the early American
landscape painters.
Mr. Smith said he is 72 years old,
and some of his pictures had been
hung in the Paris salon. He is very
positive in his testimony and -pronounced
the pictures involved In the
Evans suit as unquestionably genuine.
"The way the color here is shoved
ahead of the brush," he continued, tak
ing the painting, "Normandie Bride"
In hand, "is characteristic of Homer
Martin. Again in this picture, he has
let the paint dry 10 or 20 hours in
places and gone over it again, dragging
the brush along the surface. No man
living could imitate that."
Jir. Smith said he had known Martin
intimately and that he had seen hiro
paint the very picture In question from
a sketch.
FOREIGN WOMEN IMPROVE
Mrs. Fairbanks, After World Tour,
Says Weaker Sex Forge Ahead.
NEW YORK. March 19. Mrs. Charles
W. Fairbanks, wife of the ex-Vice
President of the United States, jusi
back with her husband from their
round-the-world trip, declared in an in
terview given out here today that she
found In every country which she vis
ited a Wonderful awakening among
women.
"The change is most notable in China
and Japan," said Mrs. Fairbanks. "The
Chinese women are forging rapidly to
the front and it won't be long before
they are heard from in alliance with
the women of other countries.
"The Japanese . women are by no
means cumberers of the ground. The
lower classes do everything that men
do, working beside them in the fields,
carrying bricks and mortar and assist
ing in all the labors of the stronger sex.
I was particularly Impressed by the
Empress of Japan. She wears European
dress and not only that, but all the
ladies of the court were gowned , in

Leavenworth. Kan., March 19.
Frederick Taylor Faulkner, of Ken

of stealing 15000 of legation funds.
Old King Coffee knocks subjects out
tolerably flat at times, and there Is
no possible doubt of what did it. a
Michigan woman gives her experience:
"I used to have liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took' medicine
which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in a while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. It
seemed as though every time I took a
breath- I would die. No one could suf
fer more and live.
"Finally I got down so sick with ca
tarrh of the stomach that I could not
turn over in bed, and my stomach did
not digest even milk. The doctor
finally told me that if 1 did not give tip
drinking coffee I would surely die,
but I felt I could not give it 'up.
"However, Husband brought home a
package of Postum and it was -made
strictly according to directions. It was
the only thing that would stay on my
stomach, and I soon got so I liked it
very much.
"Gradually I began to get better, and
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now I am in perfect condi
tion, and I am. convinced that the
whole cause of my trouble was coffee
drinking, and my getting better was
due to leaving off coffee and taking
Postuni.
"A short time ago I tasted some
coffeeand found, to my astonishment,
that I did not care anything about it.
I never have to take medicine any
more. I hope you will use this letter
for the benefit of those suffering from
the poisonous effects of coffee."
