FRANCE men anxious. Jlcccnt Decree of Council of State Cripples American Companies. It possible to obtain some modiflcaapr of decree recently promulgated by the Council of State of the French government, stitch makes It necessary for American life infCrance rance companies to replace the securities held Its French policies by French (and it is conceded here that such modification can scarcely be hoped for now), many of the American companies may withdraw from France. It may be stated with some positive' that the officers of the Mutual Life had determined that it would be necessary to -with- Crfcxv if the law was not moduVd and was jnfcfie retroactive. parvin P.

Kinpsley. vice-president of the New Tcrk 1-lie. Eaia yesterday that to withdraw France meant a practical withdrawal from is Europe, far as his company was concerned. What course they will pursue Is yet be determined. Only recently the Mutual Reftrve withdrew from England because its business there was not considered profitable, and ft will probably adopt the same course In France, as the new law makes the business there jrjch less The companies cannot the same Income from the French securities (MB Fimilar investments in this country.

The Equitable already has Invested considerable money in French real estate, and would cot have to make many more Investments in that ccur.try to comply with the French law. v. view of that fact, the Equitable may remain in France. The companies are viewing with consldertlile this tendency to make it mere difllcsjt for the American life insurance tiens to do business in Europe, and if other countries should make laws similar to the French law the European business might be pjven altogether. They are finding it hard ccoupb to get new foreign business as it is, on of the Insurance scandals.

The New Tork Life has been doing all Its European business from Its office in Paris. vbere TViliiara E. Incersoll. one of the second vk-e-rresideiits. is in charge.

He has been exerting Ws best endeavors to obtain a modification cf the French law. but the news that has published in the "Official Journal" would teem to indicate that further protest would be be useless. Vice-Presideat Emery McClintock, of the Bstttal. who palled for Europe in May. would have form direct to Paris fern the purpose of extrtlr.g his influence toward modification of the law had he not 'been obliged to stop in London en account of thfc attack against the engbamered by D.

C. Haldeman. Accordfcf to his last known plan, he was to be In Paris en Wednesday. There seems little that lie can do now, however. But the officials he.re not take up a consideration of their final WJon.

until Mr. McClintock has reported from Paris. The rates of the Mutual In France are all based on the income they have been able to obtain by investing the premiums in this country. To write insurance there on the basis of the income to be obtained from French securities -would make it necessary to raise the premiums. If this is done, the company could rot hope to compete successfully with French companies, and might as well drop the business entirely.

The latest figures obtainable show that on Jinuary 1, 1005. the four America companies coirig the largest foreign business had 432,979 foreign policies, representing $1,057.300.163 in- Their premiums paid on foreign business in preceding twelve months was 547.0i9.940. Vice-President Kingsley. of the New York Life, said yesterday: What the New York Life will do under sew law is as yet undetermined. The question tt issue is a very important one.

Our company has been In France and In the greater part cf Europe for upward of thirty years. Its tmslaess is long and soundly established in BtastSaSy every country of Europe, with general bfadquarters in Paris. Its Income through the Pan? office Is now $18,000,000 a year. This, by represents a great life insurance cc Tipany. Moreover, our business there Is profitable, the mortality is good, and our organization is serving useful purpose.

from France means practically to withdraw from Europe. This, as I have already said, is a very grave question. Under cur bylaws no portion of the company's securities fan be deposited with any witho-jt approval of the board of trustees. In due conrae finance committee of the company recommend to the board what in their Judgment is the proper course to pursue. I attempt now to forecast what It will It fair to say.

however, that as we five years In which to make the deposit by the French law, and as our Income throuph the Paris office at the present time 1" a year, it might never be for us to end either money or securities over there order to comply with the law. Ar.y notion that, to comply with the law. we feoold have to send over money which the premiums of American policyholders a mistake. It should not be forgotten that have large tame of money Invested here trhleh re-present premiums paid by French polfcvhoidf-rs, and if the reserves on French busi- tes have to be lodged with the French govern Beat these reserves will only represent an investment of premiums paid by the Frenchmen.

No. 105 East 23d OuJy and STREET XO PLAYGROUND. Inspector Cross Issues Order A feetig Brooklyn and Queens.

Acting on the Instructions of his superiors. Inspector Cross yesterday sent an order to the police inspectors and captains in Brooklyn and Queens telling them that vehicular traffic had the right of way in the city's streets, and children were no longer to be permitted to play in the roadways. The inspector, in his order, shows that most of the accidents are due to young children running in front of or into vehicles, the drivers of which are unable to stop In time. In contrast to Inspector Cross's order is the presentment of the May grand Jury of King's County, which charged that the- railroad companies were responsible for the increasing number of accidents, because of their hiring men who were Incapable, and whom the company overworked and underpaid. Eighteen fatal trolley accidents have occurred in Brooklyn during the last seven weeks.

Only 6even of these were children, while eleven were acUilts. Inspector Cross's order is in part as follows: The public streets and roadways are- Intended lor vehicle traffic and not for playgrounds for the children. Notwithstanding this fact, children are permitted through the necriect or indifference of their parents or guardians xn play in the streets and roadways, with the result that they are often seriously or fatally injured through no fault whatever of tho drivers of the vehicles. One of the most important duties of the police Is to protect life, and it is incumbent upon them to use their best efforts to warn and prevent children from playing in the streets. This is a very Important matter, and many serious and perhaps fatal accidents car! be averted if thf- police and children and parents act concertedly and intelligently in carrying out the orders herein contained.

SHANGHAIED BOYS FLEE. jump from Standard Oil Probably Drowned. Hoping to escape an enforced voyage to rhlna In the Standard Oil bark Arrow, two leaped from the vessel, anchored off early yesterday morning and fine was probably drowned. The boys were John and William Loudenberg, of Brooklyn, who, according to John, the rescued one, were impelled by their father to sign on as members of the Arrow's crew. George Andrews, a boatman at Stapleton, saw John Loud en berg drifting with the tide to the Hook, and heard him calling for help.

He rowed out and pulled him into the boat. The boy was barely able to keep afloat, and became unconscious as soon as Andrews had him In the bottom of his skiff. When revived, on Ehore. Loudenberg said he 11 In Brooklyn, but declined to give the number of his home, or tell where his father could be found. He said the Arrow was short of men.

and his father helped fill the vacancy by forcing him and his brother to sign. "I don't know anything about the sea. and did not want to go to China," he said. "This morning my brother Bill and I decided to beat the game and swim ashore. It seemed an easy halfmile swim to Stapleton, but a strong tide caught us and carried us beyond where we wanted to land.

I don't know where Bill went; I suppose he got ashore somewhere. The Arrow loaded case oil at Bayonne, and was moored off Stapleton for three days waiting fur a breeze to put to sea. There was some talk of getting under way to-night if the fog cleared, and Bill and I decided to get away this morning." John Loudenberg is nineteen years old. His brother William, who Is two years younger, was probably carried out to sea and drowned. John's condition was thought too serious last night to let him know that his brother had not been found.

The rescued boy paid that he and his brother had been led aboard the bark by a trick, and after their father had arranged with the captain to take them to China they protested, but the tain refused to let them go ashore. TWENTY-SIX HOESES KILLED. Woman Risks Life to Save Pony Stables Destroyed. horses were burned to death In a fire early yesterday which threatened to destroy an entire block in West 111 th street. It began in the stable of James F.

Ryan, at No. 545 to 549 West 111 th street. The Ore spread with great rapidity and the two adjoining buildings were destroyed. Great excitement prevailed in the neighborhood. Two large apartment houses are only a short distance from the scene, and the occupaj nurrljdly left their names, fearing that the flames -would reach the buildings.

Twenty-five of the thirty horses in Ryan's stable were destroyed. Joseph H. Cody, whose stable adjoined that of Ryan's, lost only one of his seven horses. His daughter, Miss Lucy Cody, risked her life to lead a Shetland pony out of the burning building. She also helped to get out the other five horses.

60-62 West 23d Street. SAXITY OF MRS. WILLIAMS in Supreme Court Jurisdiction May Be Recommitted. Two decisions as to the mer.tal condition of Mrs. Ellen B.

Williams, arrested some three months ago for threatening the partners of J. P. Morgan, have been filed in the Supreme Court. Justice Dugro. who released Mrs.

Williams on Wednesday on a writ of habeas corpus, in his decision, denied any intention of passing upon her sanity, and said that the question was left to Justice Greenbaum. Justice Greenbaum. in passing upon the sanity of Mrs. Williams, said: In view ot her previous acts, I am of the opinion that the interests of Mrs. Williams and of community require that sha be committed unless arrangements satisfactory to the court are made to place her in the custody of relatives or cotnmtt- conformably to the provisions of Section 62 of the Insanity law.

After Mrs. Williams had been discharged her counsel applied to Justice Greenbaum to dismiss the proceedings to determine her sanity. The justice said: Notwithstanding the allejced Incompetent was temporarily committed to a upon her consent nnd that of her counsel, solely for her own welfare, it appears that a writ of habeas corpus was procured upon the ground that she was unlawfully detained. It appearing upon the hearing that Mrs. Williams no longer consented to be restrained, one of ray brother Justices, who issued the writ, relieved the petitioner of the restraint.

The learned j'-slice before whom the habeas proceeding was had, and with whom I have conferred, disclaims that he acted under Section 73. and tie has authorized me to say that he expressly stated he disposed of the matter that the question of Mrs. Wllliams's sanity was to disposed of in the proceeding before me. 1 see no rea- SOH tor dismissing 'lie proceedings. Justice Greenbaum says that James Nealis was appointed to take the testimony for the convenience of the counsel and the court.

Mr. Nealls has written that testimony and submitted It to the court. Tlie justice said: I'i'on the wishes of Mrs. Williams'a counsel I nominated a disinterested expert to examine the patient. The report of the city's physician, that of the expert selected by counsel, and the one appointed by the court all that Mrs.

Williams Is not sane, that she is a victim of paranoia, and that it is important that her movements be carefully observed and that gome competent person have general supervision of her movements and conduct. If Mrs. Williams Is found within the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of this state she can arrested and either committed to an asylum or a committee of her person and affairs can be appointed to have supervision of her. It is rot known where Mrs. Williams is at present, but It is believed she has been removed from the Jurisdiction of the court.

This play, which shows the widely discussed English playwright at his best, is one of most striking originality and has never been presented here. It is full of "Shawisms" and provides an abundance of opportunity for magnificent scenic effects. It Is strongly tinged with ail tie irony and that have maie Shaw the VOgUC among present day dramatists.

Mr. Robertson will appear as and Miss Elliott ns Cleopatra. Both these notable characters in Mr. Shaw's dramatic, work differ materially from the Caesar and Cleopatra of history. They are sketched In a lisrht vein of comedy, with all the, delicate wit of which Mr.
