Sept. 15 - Inquiry of the special legislative esmimittee on In surance In aklermanic chambers confined to a farther investigation into the affairs of the Mutual Life lusur ance company, (hitef Inguisitor Hughes having calles] at the Frederick Cromwell, the fre that « pany, who had testimony follow el by buckle Bros, was ontsel of ml given consider was Hiet already Ar Cromwell N.

The In surance company, be said, could not afford to tnke an entire Issue, and the rallroads would got do business direct | unless the underwriting concern would take the entire issue Other witnesses showed that unless the issue of securities was to be very small the insurance company could not take the lot It wine even shown that when the Mutual wanted to go direct to the lllinols Central road for its securities, Presi dent Stuyvesant Fish told the insur ance men plainly that the railroad could not sell to the lnsurance cow pany direct because the railroad com | panies always needed the assistance of the bankers to float big loans. It was the testimony of all the members of the finance committee that the syn. | dicate method of bpylug securities was pot only the most profitable, but the only practical way - Each member of the finance commit- | tee sald that he had never been In a syndicate which had sold securities to the Mutual, but that they had been In syndicates of which the Mutual was one of the participants. It was ex. plained that the reason why the Mu- tual bad to deposit many miilions at 2 per cent was that it hadn't the ma- chinery for lending money at retall. The finance committeemen testified that the insurance company did not have the machinery to put out a lot of small loans on mortgages from Seattle to Atlanta, but that the trust company was io a position to make a specialty of that kind of business. Mr. Cromwell testified that the rea- son why the Mutual kept an average | of §7.000000 on deposit with the Na- tional Bank of Commerce from Jan 8, 1005, to June 6, 1005, was merely that | it was necessary for the insurance company to store up big sums in swine bank to offset large syndicate pay | ments and also that even wilen po large payments were to be met and | even when call money was 3 and 4 per cent it was more profitable Io the! long run to let the bank handle a lump sum of many millions, for which! it paid the Mutual 2 per cent flat, than it would be for the insurance com- pany fo try to peddle out the millions | in many small call Joans, Mr. Cromwell denied emphatically | that it was because the Insurapce com- pany controlled the bank that it kept ou deposit in the bank unnecessarily large sums merely for the purpose of letting the bank make a big profit by | getting a jot of Insurance money much | cheaper than the market rate Intnes Irs san let hoon mse men committee halt three and a why spent wien railroads iso was only per cent explained company entire alice, Nizon's Condition Alarming.
