Good buildings deserve
this better Sire insurance
with lower costs
Mr. Good-Building Owner: Why arc you called
upon to stand extra epst when your building is
well kept and perhaps practically fire proof? Isn't
it because the company you're insured with accepts
all classes of risks? .... You deserve a belter fire
insurance, a lower cost policy, which gives you full
benefit of the safety of your building.
Upon this basic belief the
General Insurance Company
of America
has founded its principle of insuring gooe risks only!
Good risks suffer fewer losses. That's why GENERAL
of AMERICA can cut down your insurance costs.
GENERAL participating policies have never paid
less than 20 dividends to their holders.
GENERAL SESSION
KANSAH CITY, May
Guided by leaders who measure
their service by decades, represen
tatives of I 5.000,000 persons affili
ated with the Methodist Episcopal
church today devoted themselves
to perfection of their quadrennial
general conference at the first of a
month of dally sessions here.
With 870 delegates from 37
countries present, Mishop Joseph
F. It. Try, of rhlladelphia, for the
third time was accorded the honor
of presiding at the In It iul session
of a general conference.
Reviewing the work before the
conference, liishop Herry forecast
the treatment of world problems
and administrative issues with the
church, which would place the
present assembly un, record as be
ing "constructive and conservative."
"Old you cash all of them?" !
"I do not think so." 1
Were there any coupons on the
bonds you delivered to your coin-'
patty the other day?"
"Yes sir. Those due in the fu
ture, i
' My recollection is that the books '
of the Hyva corporation did not ,
show any 'A per cent bonds," he:
said. 1
Well, they purchased boms
eight million dollars of them, so
there should have been a record." j
Sinclair said he personally de- I
llvered the 2t0.000 in bonds to j
Hays for use In extinguishing tho
republlean party debt in l'JliS. j
1 1-; udded that he got them '
from a vault In his house. j
It developed that Sinclair put'
all of tho Ulackmcr bonds In
this vault. I
"I wish you would tellUs about
the transaction with Mr. llays,
Sc nn t or Vn lsh sai d .
"To tho best of my recollec
tion. Colonel Hays camo to mo
and united for lL'ttO.000. I don't
recall whether he said tho na
tional committee, but anyhow for
the purpose of wiping out tho re
publican debt. He said ho would
like it as a loan and would col
lect tho money and return It to
me. '
"Was thero any more to tho
transaction '!"
"Yes, some time afterwards.
Mr. llays returned tho securities,
to me. I forget Just the amount,
but I think It was all except !
75 000. 1 nhlnk he told me that
IS5.000 of the securities were his(
own. La t er , I re m e m he r, I gave j
back to Mr. llays or somebody
for Mr. Hays the $85,000 so that;
my total contribution was $100,-!
000. if my figures are correct." j
"You aro a republican In poli
tics?" j
"Just a moment senator; I have
been a republican, but I don't
know now what politics I havo." ,
"What was the inducement to
give that amount?"
"Thero was no Inducement."
"Hut Mr. llays told us that no
one el.o gave anything approxi
mating what you did. M r. An
drew Melton, reputed to bo the
third richest man fn tho world,
gave only one-third of the amount,
you did,"
"I can only say that Mr. Mcl-
Ion was more sensible than 1
was,"
"Htill we don't get at tho rea
son for you being ho liberal,"
Senator Walsh observed.
"There was no reason. I may
have been very foolish; I think I
was."
"Old you give any securities
to Mr. Hays at the time he gave
yuu the $85,000?"
"I don't think so. I think he
had sonio securities-of mine, wo
had been friends a long time."
"Tell us about those."
. "You want mo to tell you about
M r. 1 lays' personal transactions V"
"I want you to tell about any
transactions you had with Mr.
Hays."
"1 think Mr. Hays had lost some
money In the stock market. I
think it was $100,000 and I loaned
him the amount. I think he sent
them to his broker to be used as
margin. '
