The speakers were Professor Hugo R.
Meyer of the University of Chicago and
Hon. John B. Daish, president of the
American Shippers' association, Pro-
fessor Meyer opposed the proposition
and Mr. Daish spoke for a law along
the lines proposed by Judge Grosscup
of Chicago.
Professor Meyer spoke in part as
follows:
"The proposal to clothe a federal
commission with the power to fix a
rate is dangerous because the com-
mission would use the power in such
a way as to precipitate the conflicts
between sectional interests and clase
interests. It is revolutionary because
the commission would use that power
fcr the purpose of curtailing that
freedom to trade over and throughout
the entire territory of the United States
that it was the purpose of our great
forefather® to establish and guarantee
when they established the United
States. It is revolutionary because it
would make the Interstate commerce
commission a little deputy congress
clothed with the power to make and
unmake the. policy of our nation in
matters most important as well as in
matters of the conflict of sectional in-
terests and class interests.”

New York, Nov. 17,—With the end
of the mornig session today Senator
Armstrong’s- committee on insurance
investigation finished a week that for
strenuousness and importance has been
eclipsed by no one week since the in-
vestigation was inaugurated.
Besides being the week in which
the most sessions have been held, the
witnesses have been the most import-
ant, including "big guns” in the finan-
cial world as in business. Early in
the week James Hazen Hyde was ex-
amined and made charges against E.
H. Harriman and former Governor
Odell, who successively appeared and
denied Mr. Hyde’s statements, and Mr.
Hyde, being recalled, affirmed his tes-
timony. Then Senator Chauncey M.
Depew was heard, and when the ses-
sion opened today it was expected that
before the day was over Senator Platt
would be called. He is wanted to
testify as to the collection of contribu-
tions to political campaign funds by
the insurance companies, Mr. Odell
having testified that Senator Platt col-
lected all such money up to last year.
It is now expected that the senator
will be heard early next week, pos-
sibly on Tuesday, when the sessions
will be resumed.
Frank B. Jordan, son of the former
comptroller of the Equitable, who at
a previous session said he did not
know where his father was or whether
either-his father or mother was living,
was called again today and said he
had received a letter from his mother,
who was in Canada, since he first tes-
tified, but heard nothing of his father.
He could say nothing as to the amount
of fire insurance business he had done
for the Equitable or why he got it.
but is to supply the information.
Later Samuel B. McCurdy, assistant
registrar and not related to the Mc-
Curdys of the Mutual Life, said he
had charge of the vouchers for legal
service. From him was gleaned a
story of trouble in California in 1887
when the insurance commissioner of
that state demanded an examination.
Thousands of dollars were spent by
the Equitable in this matter as ac-
counted by Mr. McCurdy, and he justi-
fied the expenditure on the ground
that it would nave cost the Equitable
about $49,000 had no defense been
made, hence the expenditure for coun-
sel. He seemed to think the demands
of the California commissioners were
exorbitant.
Senator Depew was called to give
any information he might possess as
to the number of vouchers for legal
services, but his knowledge was rather
limited and many of the expenditures
and signers of these vouchers he had
never heard of.
One voucher to John A. Nichols for
legal services was accompanied by p
letter to Senator Depew, referring to
"our friend who comes once a year”
and "your rambunctious friend up the
river.”
The senator said he knew Nichols
had been retained at different times
by the Equitable, but he did not know
in what connection. Mr. Nichols, he
said, was once quarantine commis-
sioner and used to be active in politics.
