HAYES
Again."
New York, March 15.—The World
today says: Before his departure for
his home in Albany yesterday ^Andrew
Hamilton, former legislative agent of
the New York Life Insurance Com-
pany, settled upon his line of defense'
in the legal actions ordered against
him for restitution and accounting of
sums aggregating nearly $1,000,000.
Hamilton's defense challenges the
accuracy of the Fowler investigating
committee, which held the lateBohn A.
McCall and Hamilton alone responsi-
ble for the $1,347,000 paid to the form-
er legislative agent out of the funds of
the policy holders.
Summarized, Hamilton’s defense la
sb follows:
First—That every payment made to
him except the $59,310 taken from the
profits of the United States Steel Syn-
dicate and the $144,500 drawn from
the Paris office was known by, report-
ed to and passed upon by the auditing
committee of the New York Life.
Second—That every political contri-
bution made was first discussed by
the finance committee of the company
and then directed to be paid. No
entry of the political contribution*
was made In the minute books' of the
finance committee, the transactions
being secret as far as the regular rec-
ords of the company are concerned.
Hamilton’s contention that all the
payments made to him -with the iW
exceptionis above noted were reported
to snd passed upon by the auditing
committee Is borne out by the bylaws
of the company defining the duties
of that committee.
Hamilton’s contention is that If John
A. McCall was morally, legally and fi-
nancially responsible for the com-
pany's moneys psid to Hamilton, every
member of the auditing committee
who pased noon the payments is equal-
ly responsible and should be so held
by the Fowler investigating committee,
which directed that suits of recovery
should be brought against Hamilton
and McCalh only. \
He also contends thjit if John A. Mc-
Call or his estate Is responsible for
the political contributions made by
the New York Life, every member of
the finance committee who sanctioned
them Is equally responsible, and that
In addition to ordering suits for recov-
ery against the McCall estate, the
Fowler committee should order similar
actions against responsible members
of the finance committee.
A year ago when the contribution of
$48,000 was made by the New York
Life to the Republican National Cam-
paign Committee which was working
for the election of Theodore Roosevelt,
the finance committee was composed
of the following: Alexander E. Orr,
who Is now president of the companv;
John dlaflln. George W. Perkins, John
A. McCall, ex-officio: Edmund D. Ran-
dolph, treasurer of the company; John*
S. Kennedy, Woodbury Langdon, and
G. A, Morrison.

Chicago, IU., March 15.—A dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington, D.
PC., says:

time virtually admitted that his col-
league, Senator Depew, is 111 and un-

TERRITORY SCHOOLS.
All of the Tribal Institutions Have
Been Reopened.
Muskogee, I. T., March 15.—Every
national boarding school in the five
nations is running now and the
schools are entirely recovered from
the disorganization resulting from
the dismissals that were caused be-
cause the act of Congress continuing
tribal governments was not passed
until after tbe time for discontinuing
the schools. Superintendent Benedict
alro stated that the day schools hgve
all been reopened where teachers bad
quit except in such places as lack of
attendance would not Justify putting
In new teachers. There are very few
such schools. Notice is received ev-
ery day or two that a teacher has
quit, but Mr. Benedict has enough
teachers to All all such places and
they are immediately sent out. The
reorganization of the school system
has been accomplished with greater
ease and less loss of time than was
thought possible.

and Valuable Proeeee.

says:
“After experiments in his chemical
laboratory which have been kept up
diligently for over a year, Prof. G. W.
Cavanaugh of Cornell has discovered
a process whereby he is able to extract
the material from the watery part of
milk. He has demonstrated, It is said,
that It soon will be possible to distri-
bute pure milk In powdered form,
needing only the addition of water to
return It to Its natural form. The
professor says, his discovery eventual-
ly will reduce the price of milk.

PREPARING FOR STRIKE.
New York Dealers Are Filling Their
Yards to Capacity.
New York, March 15.—New Indica-
tions were shown yesterday that the
coal dealers, though there is no cer-
tainty as to whether there will be a
hard coal strike, are preparing for
emergencies In this city. The mem-
bers of the Retail Coal Dealers’ Asso-
ciation, It. was learned, have begun to
lay in anthracite to the full capacity
of their yards. Henry Brennlck, pres-
ident of this association, said last
night:
“Most of the members of our organ-
"-ismj
strike, though it would be Impossible
for us to predict at present whether
there will be a strike or not. We pre-
fer to take chances in paying 50 cents
more a ton for coal now, even if there
Is no strike and the customary reduc-
tion takes place on April 1, rather
than risk paying much higher prices
if there Is a strike."
An effort to hold themselves free
from blame by their patrons in case
of a strike has been made by the
members of the Coal Merchants' As-
sociation through circulars advising
their patrons ot the stand they take.
The circulars contain the following:
"Whether there will be a strike In
the coal fields, no man knows. The
best Informed In tbe trade anticipate
trouble. If there would be a strike,
prices will probably be higher; If
there should be no strike prices will
probably be lower, beginning April L
We do not feel that We should take
the responsibility of advising you
what to do."
Independent operators, their sales
agents and brokers admitted yester-
day that the prices of all kinds of
coal, where they fell below the circu-
lar rates of the companies, have been
raised to company rates.
