the Galveston force, although his long
career in the service of the city has not
been continuous. Many years ago he
entered the department as a patrolman
and served for several years, having been
advanced to sergeant. He resigned and
after an absence of some years returned
to his first love and re-enlisted in the
service and was promoted until he ranked
as deputy chief, which office he held for
a while under the first term of the Wal-
ter Jones administration. He again!
severed his connection with the force and
re-entered the service three years ago
and has served faithfully up to the pres-
ent time'. Mr. Lynch proposes spending
the declining years in peace and comfort
as a private citizen and retires with the
best wishes of his associates on the force.

New York, Jan. 1.—According to a -re-
port printed today the legislative insur-
ance investigating committee has already
decided on some of the things which it
will recommend in its report to the legis-
lature. One is that the contribution of
life insurance moneys for political pur-
poses shall be a misdemeanor on the
par,t of the officers.
Another recommendation will be for a
bill which will require full publicity on
the part of the companies in the matter
of payments made for supervising legis-
lation.
The committee will also ask for a rad-
ical change in the laws governing the
state insurance department. What these
changes will be the committee itself has
not yet been determined definitely.

an offer from Speyer & Co. to head the

him to discuss tne subject.
“I am going to stay in this country,”
he said, “being a pretty busy man as it
Is with the Cleveland Street Railway and
the Mohawk Valley companies. Mr.

made shortly by Speyer & C Co. naming
the new chairman of the board.”

New York, Jan. 1.—The will of Charles
T. Yerkes will be read to his family to-
morrow afternoon. Clarence S. Knight
of Chicago, who was Mr. Yearkes? legal
adviser, and who drew th@ will, arrived
here jesterday. Mr. Knight would not
discuss the general provisions of the will,
but said:
“Mr. Yerkes has left his houses at
5th avenue and 68th street, with their im-
mensely valuable contents, so that the
Metropolitan Museum of Art will control
the property. The pictures and other ob-
jects, however, will remain where they
are, the museum having the control and
direction, and the collection will be called
the ‘ Yerkes collection.”
'—Mr. Knight though the value of the
houses ana their contents had not been
underestimated. It is believed that they
are worth nearly $5,000,000.
Mr. Knight was asked if there was any
talk of the will being contested. He said:
“I am sure there will be no. litigation.
Just at this time I cannot say anything
further, but I don’t apprehend any
trouble of that sort.”
Mr. Knight went directly to the Yerkes
home at 864 5th avenue. He had a long
talk with Mrs. Yerkes and Charles E.
Yerkes, in which it was decided that the
will should be read tomorrow afternoon
rather than this afternoon. Details of the
funeral, which will take place a little
after nocn today, were settled. The
services will be strictly private. Only the
members of the Yerkes family, Mr.
Knight and a few New York friends will
be present.
It is known that no one save. Mr.
Knight is acquainted with the provisions
of the will or as to how much property is
disposed of by it.
It was said yesterday that in making
his will Mr. Yerkes endeavored to dis-
pose of his property so that lawsuits
would be unlikely. . It is believed by Mr.
Yerkes’ friends in this city that there are
in addition to the bequest to the Metro-
politan Museum of Art, bequests to hos-
pitals and charitable institutions. Mrs.
Yerkes will receive a bequest equal at
least to her dowry rights.
A lawyer who was conversant with Mr.
Yerkes’ affairs expressed the view yester-
day that the value of Mr. Yerke’s estate
would fall short of $15,000,000.
There was at least a partial reconcilia-
tion between Charles T. Yerkes and his
wife aobut two weeks ago, Mr. Knight
said yesterday.
“Two weeks ago, before Mr. Yerkes
died,” said Mr. Knight, “Mrs. Yerkes vis-
ited him at the Waldorf Astoria. She
kissed him and they had a short conver-
sation. She did npt repeat the visit, be-
cause after that Mr. Yerkes was uncon-
scious most of the time.”
Mr Knight was present when the rec-
• onciliation took place, he said.

His Resignation From New York Life
Accepted by the Trustees.
By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 1.—It was made
known last night on excellent authority
that John A. McCall resigned on Satur-
day the presidency of the New York Life
Insurance company, says today’s Times,
and that his resignation was reluctantly
accepted by the trustees of the company.
Official announcement of‘the resignation
had been planned by the trustees to be
made next Tuesday, when the annual
statement of the. company takes place.
Mr. McCall, at his home last night,
would not reply to a request that he con-
firm the report of his resignation.
Most of the trustees of the New York
Life were spending New Year’s out of
town. None of those who could be reached
would talk about McCall or the com-
pany’s affairs.
Mr. McCall’s resignation, according to
the information which reached the Times,
was presented to a full meeting of the
trustees, held in the office of the com-
pany Saturday morning. The resignation
was in writing.
In his letter Mr. McCall said that after
long and careful consideration he had felt
it best to take such a step. In the months
during which the insurance controversy
had affected the New York Life, he said,
his peace of mind had suffered from con-
tinuous misunderstanding and misrepre-
sentation of his actions and distortion of
facts and misquotation of his utterances
by the newspapers. He was not in good
health now, and he felt that it would be
best for himself and for the company if
he resigned the presidency.
Protests were made by several of the
trustees against receiving his resignation
and there was evidently a desire on the
part of the trustees that McCall should
still retain the presidency desipte the de-
mands from outside the company for his
It was made plain to the
trustees, however, that Mr. McCall would
abide by his resignation, and it was then
accepted, with appropriate expressions of
regret.
All of the trustees were pledged to se
crecy until Tuesday next, when the an-
nual financial statement of the company
will be made public. This statement is
known to be even more favorable to, the
company than might be expected.
John Claflin, the dry goods merchant,
who is a trustee of the New York Life,
has frequently been spoken of as Mr. Mc-
Call’s successor, but it is by no means
certain that Mr. Claflin will accept the
office.
Mr. McCall, it is understood, intends to

St. Petersburg, Jan. 1.—The policy to re-
press the revolutionists continues with a
vengeance. Their announcement that
they proposed to carry on a guerilla war-
fare until the general revolt is prepared
has stimulated the government to re-
doubled energy.
A band of Terrorists is known to be at
work here and last night there were
wholesale searches for suspects.
City prisons are so overcrowded that
hundreds have been removed to the
Schulusselburg fortress and to the for-
tress of St. Peter and St. Paul.
The government spies were at work
among the workmen and revolutionary
societies, with instructions to give warn,
ing of meetings, which were immediately
surrounded, the members searched for
arms and the ringleaders taken into cus-
tody.
Nevertheless the Workmen’s council and
executive committee of social revolution
ists are managing to evade arrest and
meeting each day at different places in
the outskirts of the city.
Patrols are understood to have orders
not to spare bullets if they are attacked
by persons using bombs or revolvers.

Chicago, Ill., Jan. 1.—Never was a New
Year received with such a deluge of liba-
tions as greeted 1906 in Chicago last night.
Every down town restaurant was
crowded to the last available corner and
at 12 o’clock more than 20,000 persons, by
actual count, drank to Father Time.
Probably twice 20,000 people, unable to
get into the already filled restaurants,
strolled about the down town streets,
blowing horns, ringing cow bells and
shouting. A slight improvement in the
amount of noise was noted in one quarter.
Fewer whistles were blown, the decrease
being appreciable in the down town
quarter of the city.
A still more marked improvement was
noted in the decrease in the number of
revolvers fired. Practically none were
discharged down town and few in the
residence sections. In most of the cafes
and restaurants, which, by virtue of price
and patronage, are socially exclusive,
only wines were served, and in two or
three of the most exclusive small for-
tunes represented the incoming tables.
The 1 o’clock closing law was remem-
bered, but only in jest. The restaurants,
as a rule, were closed as early as 9 o’clock
to all except the holders of tickets to the
tables reserved months in advance, but
to those lucky persons th/ bar knew no
closing. The restauranceurs rigidly en-
forced the exclusion of the common pub-
lic, not even the police being admitted
after 1 a. m. As for the police, there was
a general inclination to wink at the in-
fraction of the law on the one night of
the year when the town makes such an
earnest effort to be happy.
