Closing a week every day of which
fias produced a sensation that has
stirred the country, the special legis
lative committee Investigating Insur
ance companies adjourned until Tues
day of this week. The sessions here
after will bo held Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. ThiB change was made
because Friday is registration day In

mittee desired to be present in their

when Mr. Hughes demanded the pay
roll of the executive officers of the
Mutual Life company. This was
produced and Bhowed the salaries of
these officers sjnee 1877. For the year
1904 President McCurdy received $150,
000 j two vice presidents were paid
$50,000 each; a second vice president
J17.C00, the third vice president $10,
000 and the general manager $25,000,
who this year will receive $30,000, and
the treasurer $50,000.
Big Loans at Low Interest
That John R. Hegeman, president of

pany, borrowed $50,000 from the New

tho Insurance investigation, and Pres
ident John A. McCall of the New
York Life testified that he In turn
borrowed $75,000 from the Metropoli
tan at the same rate. This was la
January, 1903, tho loan was renewel
in January, 1904, and ran until March,
1905, when the rate of Interest was ad
vanced to 2 per cent, at which rate it
is still running.
Good Thing For McCurdy Family.
That a total of $2,600,000 has been
paid as commissions by the Mutual

bers of the family of Richard A. Mc

tho. promise of District Attorney Jer
ome that the Insurance scandals cer
tainly will be submitted later to an

tional developments in the insurance
situation.

TRIPLE OLNEYTRAGEDY.
Authorities Are No Nearer a
Solution of the Mystery,
Condition of Mrs. Ingerlck Consider
ably Improved Two Murderec
Brothers Buried Yesterday Sister
of Murdered Girl Assists In Worklnf
Up a Clue Laborer Detained.
Middletown, Oct. 10. To all ap
pearances the authorities are still com
pletely baffled In their efforts to solve
the mystery of the triple tragedy al
the Olney farm last Friday. It Is no
proposed to take blood bounds to the
rescue In the hope that it is not yet
too late for them to pick up the trail
of the assassin. The experiment wli:
be made as soon as the hounds can
be obtained from the Napanoch Re
formatory; but as thousands of per
sons have visited the farm and
scoured all the surrounding country II
is felt that the chances of success are
remote.
- The condition ot Mrs. Ingerlck lm
proved considerably and District At
torney Rogers had a long conversation
with her, with what results he de
clined to say, although It was hinted
that he had obtained information that
toon would lead to arrests. Daniel
Davis and his wife, who were brought
to police headquarters Sunday were
discharged from custody, the police
being satisfied that they could throw
no light on the mystery.
The murdered brothers, Willis and
Fred Olney, were buried yesterday
Lulu Ingerlck, the sister of the mur
dered girl, was taken In an automobile
last night to Howells, five miles from
here, apparently to assist in working
up a newly discovered clue.
Martin Cuddeback, a laborer, em
ployed on Horace Beake's farm near
the Olney place, was brought hers
from Port Jervls and detained at
police headquarters. He told the po
lice he heard several shots followed by
groans on the day of the murders
and said he made no effort to discover
what he had heard because he was
afraid.

Medical school and who Is secretary

dence that these nations have been
much afflicted with consumption."

ONCE WEALTHY NOW A PAUPER.
Jefferson P. Raplee Was Business As
soclate of Jay Gould and Com
modore Vanderbilt.
New York, Oct. 10. Jefferson P.
Raplee, once a wealthy New York
banker and business associate of Jay
Gould, Commodore Vanderbilt and
John P. Blair, was sent to the poor .
house here yesterday.
Raplee was one of the best known
men along Broadway In his day. His
father, who was Judge Raplee of Yates
county, N. Y., left him a large fortune'
In 1856 he opened a banking house al
137 Broadway which was capitalized
at $200,000, and did a yearly business
of $500,000, wMch "was a large sum al
that time.
Since 1807, when this bank made an
assignment after some unfortunate
speculation, Mr. Raplee's fortune, al
though Invested In a new banking ven
ture, steadily diminished. Three years
ago he closed his last offices at 136
Liberty street and began to live on
the remnants of his former wealth.
Ho was unmarried.
Mr. Raplee, carrying a dress sull
case, entered tho office of the super
lntendent of the outdoor poor, who is
an old acquaintance of the banker
and who greeted him, saying:
"What can I do for you, Jefferson ?"
"I have only one friend left," said
Mr. Raplee, "but he won't help me anj
more and I've got to live."
The superintendent had the specia!
messenger escort the former bankel
to the Farm colony at Staten Island
where he will be given some light em
ployment for the remainder of hli
l!le.

brand nnd John B. Fine of Princeton
and Walter Camp and Mr. Owsley ol
Yale, the athletic advisers of the re
spectlve colleges named. The presl
dent desired to consider with them
particularly the morale of the game oi
football with a view to eliminating
much of Its brutality if possible. It
Is hoped by the president that with

ties and the athletic advisers the rules
cf the game may be so amended as
practically to do away with many ol
the brutalities which make the game
objectionable to many peoplo.
