CASUALTY MEN
Conllnn-d from Tate One
assets the premiums due to It on so-
count of outstanding Insurance.
ltandftll goes on to swear that thesa
applications ifor fictitious Insuranco were
Issued each yflnr of th company's exlstenco
except In 1009 and 19tJ, "and various
amounts of this fictitious Insurance wero
Isfltted In different years, sufnclent to make
total unpaid premiums of from H76,000 to
I3B0.000."
Tho names for these policies, nandsll
says In tho nrlldnvit, came, nt the direction
of Byrnes, from telephone directories of
o'utsldo cities or from Dun's or Urndstreel's.
Huppleo's nflldavlt Is principally an In
dorsement of that to which Ilandall swears.
Bander's nflldavlt declares that In 1916
Mershon drew J2605.60 for traveling ex
penses, and Byrnes drew J4060, although
each traveled very little, according to the
declaration. Ho mentions that on January
11, 1910, Byrties drew B00 for traveling
expenses, but cannot remomber that Byrnes
took any trip for the company during
that month. Ho also says ho knew of the
nctltlous Insuranco policies, nnd mentions
the flforgo W. Dollavon Company, which
he wild bought tho Union Casualty stock
nnd then sold It to the public nt an In
crcaso In price. Tho officers of both com
panies wero tho same, ho says.
imtN'EH HAItOASTIC
Mr. Byrnes wan naked for an explana
tion of thesa nllldnvlts against him nnd tho
men formerly associated with him In the
management of tho Tnlon Casualty. Ho
took tho view that any ono damned by
Wood was famous and mild:
I have felt that something good was
going to happen. T always wanted to
bo n candidate for high ofllco nnd now
that Mr. Wood has seen fit to bring my
name Into his troubles, undoubtedly
both Senator Penroso and Oovernor
Brumbaugh will resign so that I might
liavo my cholco of cither olllco.
Mr. Mor.dion referred nil questions to Mr.
ByrnoB.
Insuranco rommlssloner O'Nell In In Phil
adelphia buttressing his position In the de
veloping ftrnndn! with such facts as ho
needs In this part of tho State.
Next Monday In the Hurrlshunc courts
his plea for tho appointment of n receiver
for tho Pension Mutual Life Insuranco
Company will bo answered. Wednesday his
pica' for a rccolvor for tho Union Casualty
, Company will bo answered.
It Is expected that the former will go
through without contest. Thorn Is no such
certainty about mo union i nsuniiy won.
,pany, however. From ns much as can bo
learned Lyndon D. Wood and his "ns
tsocla'tes' ns ho bo frequently calls his
HuVirdlnntcs. wnnt to keep that. According
'td'Commlssloncr O'N'cll, thcro Is not much

palrcd almost $1,000,000 and tho reserve
$130,000.
A BITTER CONTEST
Tho Union Casualty fight Is going to ba
bitter, though.
Tho Commissioner, was asked It he was
going through with the Insurance Investiga
tion to tho end, and ho answered: "I don't
see anything thnt can stop me." Ho went
on to any that ho would glvo Mr. Wood n
fill! opportunity to make under oath Ills
charges that tha Htato Insuranco Depart
ment was crobked. This was In nnswer
to nn Invitation to commont on Mr. Wood's
latest statement, which goos Into detnll
about cxamlnorn of his department doing
things they should not havo done. Tho
burden of Mr. Wood's complalntB Is all
beforo Mr.' O'Noll took ofllco, and Mr.
O'Nell said ho had no knowledge of what
happened beforo July. 191C. His namo Is
mentioned In tho latest Btntemcnt by Mr.
Wood, who says ho told tha Insuranco
Commissioner about tho conduct of tho
examiners. It was then that both sides
wero brought to Harrlsburg and mado
charges which led Mr. O'Nell to assert they
all ought to bo In jail.
It Is likely that onco Mr. O'Nell gots
Into this Insuranco Investigation and ho
cannot until tho receivership proceedings
are under way that Pennsylvania will see
a procession of her prominent Bons, former
omcolmlclcra ami sucn, parauing to me wit
ness Btnnd.
PROMINENT WITNESSES
Mr. O'Nell Intends to havo Former At
torney General John C. Boll nnswer qucs
tlotiH ns to why tho receivership proceed
Ings wore not begun two years ago, as re
quested, nnd ex-Insurance Commissioner
Charles Johnson will probably bo a witness,
also ex-Governor Stone, who, ns a member
of Stono & Stone, was legal adviser of tho
Pension Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Commissioner O Nells only uneasiness
thus far In tho Insuranco situation Is
fear that the people of tho Statu will get
tho Idea that ho Is posing as a crusader.
In all fairness to Mr. O'Nell. It should bo
said he Is doing exactly what ho thinks Is
his duty nnd has no particular regard for
the way it Is put before the public, bo far
na no is concerned.
Mr. Wood's statements In the last
twenty-four hours Include an appeal di
rected to Oovornor Brumbaugh asking him
to stop tho campaign of abuse which ho
says tha Insuranco department Is directing
against him and his companies.
Tho Governor has told tho Rvkninq
Lkpobr that ho considers this while matter
In Mr. O'Ncll'H province nnd that he wont
Interfcro at least not yet.

tory of tho school, founded elKhty-tliree
years ago, u man uiitsldo tho sect Is hclnr;
considered for Iho presidency. Two men
that havo been mentioned aro:
Dll FUKOKItlC PAl.MKlt, nssoclata
professor of physics nt Haverford.
DH. ItlCIIAHD MOTT OUMMBtlB,
associate professor of I-nUn.
Tho silBKoatlon that tho board of man
agers should not stay within tho Society
of Krlonds In choosing a president camo
from tho retiring president, Doctor Sharp
less, himself. It Is reported on tho campus
thnt ho broiicht up tho iiuestlon for two
reasons:
Ho thinks tho tlmo has rume when an
outsider would be accepted as president,
and, second, ho wants to rIvo to tho board
of managers nn opportunity to appoint
Doctor Palmer.
Doctor Palmer Is a general campus
favorlto nnd his appointment would bo en
thusiastically greeted by thu boys, accord
Inpr to opinions given a reporter by many
of them.
Doctor I'nlmer Is distantly related to the
pioneer woman educator, Allco freeman
I'nlmer, famous president of Wollesley
Collcgo.
Doctor Itlchard Mott CJummero Is nlso a
popular member of tho faculty. Ho has
boen Identified with Hnverford C'ollego life

.Society.
Students nnd faculty members nllko ad
mit there aro n number of outsiders' names
on the list of possible presidents for Haver
ford College. The list according to faculty
members coiitnln.i about ten namcH.
Thcro may be nn oven moro radical
departure In the naming of n president who
la not In academic work at all. Thcro has
been soma agitation, nccordlnif to Informa
tion secured nt Haverford Collcgo, that tho
now president may bo a business man,
chosen directly from the business world.

DEFENDED BY GRAYSON
Wharton Dean's Usefulness Not
Affected by Duties With
Engineering Firm '
Theodore J. Grayson, lecturer In finance
nt tho Wharton School, University of Penn
sylvania, has coma to the defense, of Dr.
William McCletlan, dean of tho school. In
an answer to charges made before the City
Club, of Cleveland. In an address by Mor
ris Llewellyn Cooke, ex-dlrector of the
Department of Public Works. In a. written
statement. Professor Orayson point out
that Doctor McClellon Is engaged In "ad
ministrative work," does no teaching, nnd
that, therefore, his being s. consulting mem
ber of nn engineering firm cannot effect the
subjeots taught at tho Wharton School.
"To Insinuate that Doctor McClettan'a es
timate of the fair value of tho Philadelphia
Ktectrla Company's property Is moro than
$20,000,000 too high," he says, "Is ab
solutely unfair becnuse tho settlement made
ivas In the nature of a compromise In the
Interest of expediency and to save further
litigation."
Dean McCrea, Doctor McClellan's prede
cessor, Professor drnyson says, did not
resign "on account of tho shabby way
In which tho board of trustees dismissed
Scott Nearlng." Doctor McCrea, he as
serts, resigned because he was offered a
belter-paying position nt Columbia Uni
versity. The circular recently Issued to tha pro
fessors of the 'Wharton School concern
ing the amount of time spent by each
member of the faculty In outside activi
ties, he says, did not cmanato from Doctor
McClcllan, but yas tho result of an an
tloti taken moro than a month ago by
tho board of deans.
"I know positively," Professor Orayson
says, "that there is no deslro or Intention
on tho part of Dcnn McClcllan or any one
also to limit the outside activities of tho
Wharton School staff In the' Interest of nny
publlu utility or sot of public utilities."
Mr. Cooko Is not In Philadelphia now.
