"Were you in a position to know of other campaign contributionsT' "I don't know; that Is a question that ought to be looked Into. In all the cam palgn contributions, I believe that tho fullest publicity should be attached. They ought to be publicly known, and there ought to be a law passed to that effect" "If the president out of his own execu tive authority, without reference to the finance committee, pays out such large sums as these, how do they ever come before the officers of the company T' "1 have said the finance committee has no authority over the agency accounts and general expenses. I think there should be a broadening of this author ity." Mr. Perkins was then asked about the checks for ISSffXi and $45,00!) made payable to Andrew Hamilton, March 9. 1$M. He could not tell whether they had to do with some annex account on the acquisi tion of the Worth-street property: neither could he say why payment for property In New Tork shouHd be made to a man living In Albany. Acting for Both Parties. Assemblyman Rogers then expressed his desire to ask a few questions about the sale of bonds on December 31 to J. P. Morgan & Co. and the repurchase on January 2. " "Now. Mr. Perkins, you acted in the transaction for the life Insurance com pany and also for J. P. Morgan & Co.?" "I completed, the transaction for J. P. Morgan & Co. Decause that house was the only place where I could realize a fair sum for tho bonds at that time. We lost nothing in that transaction, and we mado nothing, but in financial transactions It Is Just us important not to make a loss as to show a profit" Mr. Rogers Has there been any other case in which you have acted for both the New York Life and J. P. Morgan & Co. at the same time? "1 recall no other transaction." When asked how he divided his loyalty between the New York Life and his banking Arm, Mr. Perkins said he did his duty. "I want to say," continued Mr. Porklns. "right here that since I havo been with J. P. Morgan & Co. during these last four yoars that company has marKeteti more securities than the New York Life, the Equitable and the Mutual have ac cumulated in the last GO years. Competi tion Is no longer the life of trade; It is cooporation." "Now, how about the $805,000 sale and repurchase." said Mr. Hughes, breaking In on Mr. Perkins; "you had the goods la your vaults at one time?" "Yes." "And then you got rid of them, for what purpose?" "Because it was a good business invest ment" "In other syndicate transactions you furnished the money?" "We did." ""VVho conducts the joint accounts on behalf of the New York Life?" "I do; all of them." Bondbuylng on Joint Account "In regard to tho Boston bonds, you bought them to sell at a profit and to divide It up with tho partners In the syn dicate?" "Not at all. We bought them as a good Investment. We go Into these affairs to get possession of the bonds, and we may hold them for years before sale. I am very proud of this Joint account. I orig inated It; I conduct It It Is an arrange ment to get bonds at cost prices." "Is the loss divided in these Joint ac counts?" "Yes; but we reserve the right to with draw our securities. The other man has no right to our share of the profits." As to these Joint accounts Mr. Perkins said: "When we desire a certain security we go to a firm and tell them if they will take half of a quantity of bonds we will take the other half. These people some times say: We would like to do busi ness, but It Is Inconvenient at this, time; we have not the money.' As we are look ing to loan money, we say: 'If you will bo responsible for your share, we will loan you the money and withdraw our bonds and carry the rest at bond Interest on Joint account' Mr. Perkins was asked as to a number of temporary loans that appeared on the .books, but he would not testify without the details and data, which he will fur nish at a later session. Adjournment was taken today at 4 o'clock, to enable members of the com mlttee to return to their homes. There will be no session until Wednesday. Profits on Joint Account. At the morning session, Edmund D. Randolph, treasurer of the New York Life Insurance Company, was again called to the stand. He presented a statement of the profits realized from the operations -of the New York Life Insurance Company's joint accounts. It showed profits of JS93.541 in 10 years. A book of the financial transactions in non-ledger assets of the New York Life Insurance Company, kept at its Hanover Bank ofllce, was also gone over. Checks for 100.000 were found In the accounts of that office. These were paid to Mr. Hamilton, who, Mr. Randolph said, was connected with the law de partment These payments were made on order of the President without any action whatever by the finance com' mlttee, and Mr. Randolph said he knew nothing whatever about them. On December 30, another instance of checks ordered paid by the president to the amount of $48,702 was found, and Mr. Randolph says he knew of no one but the president who could tell what those items were for. In relation to the statement of the profits, presented earlier, Mr. Ran dolph referred Mr. Hughes to Mr. Perkins, who has charge of that part of the financial operations. Mr. Perkins was sent for at this stage of the proceedings. Takes Share of Profits. The affairs of the Mutual Life Insur ance Company were again taken up when August D. Jullllard. a trustee and member of the finance committee. was called, iir. juiiuara is a stock holder In the Guaranty Trust Com pany. United States Mortgage & Trust Company. Morrlstown Trust Company. Fifth Avenue Trust Company and the Na- tlonal Bank of America. He said he Individually participated In syndicates for the purchase of bonds, but that his per sonal participations were in no way In fluenced by the fact that the Mutual Life Insurance Company was also a partici pator therein. In one of the bond syndicates Mr. Jul! Hard participated, but withdrew no bonds. He put up no money, but shared in the profits. In the United States and Mexico bond syndicate. Mr. Jullllard was inter ested. The Mutual Life Insurance Conv pany took $4,009,000 In bonds, and the mem bers of the syndicate, while putting up no money, shared in the distribution of prof its. "In these the Mutual bought bonds in tho open market and so contributed to the profits of the syndicate" "Were all the other members of the finance committee in that?" was asked. N Individually. I can't tell whether they were or not." declared the witness. Perkins' Business Career. Mr. Perkins then took the stand. He presented his original contract with the New York Life, which was a letter from his father in 1572 offering him a position as clerk. It was dated Pittsburg, March 27, 1S72, and said In part: I have obtained a situation for you with the New York Life to act for the present as my clerk at a salary of 23 per month, com mencing Anrll 1. 1ST 2. Its continuance will depend upon your Improvement In spelling and writing, which will need to be very rapid. Also upon your care to attend to everything given you to do promptly with out making any blunders or mistakes, and if In every respect you are honest, truthful and faithful In your duties It will lead eventu ally to some better posiuon. Mr. Beers hopes that you will prove to be the coming man of the company. I will Instruct you about your duties in detail when I reach Chicago. Mr. Perkins went on: "I want to say I was 16 years old when the letter was written. I wanted to leave school and go to work at once. I have tried to live up to the injunctions in this letter." Mr. Perkins said ho succeeded to the first vice-presidency in 1903, with a salary of $25,000. Before he entered the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. he drew a salary of $75,000 from the New York Life, but it was reduced upon entering this firm. Ills Dual Position. Mr. Perkins entered with great de tail upon the manner of his becoming a partner In the Morgan house, and also his relations to the New York Life. He declared that profits accru ing to him on bonds sold to the New York Life by J. P. Morgan & Co. he turned back to tho Insurance company by his personal check. Mr. Perkins was asked If W. S. Fanshaw & Co. purchased bonds of J. P. Morgan & Co. "They do." was the Teply. "Does the New York Life buy of W. S- Fanshaw?" 'They do; but what's your point?" the witness demanded. "Do you want to know If there is any underground method whereby I get a profit In se curities sold to the New York Lifer "That's It" said Mr. Hughes. "Well, there's nothing of the kind done." Mr. Perkins replied. 'Will you tell us. Mr. Perkins, what exactly are the relations of the New York Life and J. P. Morgan & Co. Do you personally profit by these rela tions?" Mr. Perkins aroso and said: "We have been very successful In develop ing our agency work. Our business was increasing and the organization pretty well completed. We made an estimate as to what the figures would reach, and we found that in 12 years it would reach 51.000.000.000. It was a startling proposition, and It becamo evident that we ought to have banking facilities. We wanted a man conver sant with the work. I was selected .after discussion of the work. We wanted to connect the man who was to be Insured with the people who were to Invest their money. At this time Mr. Morgan made me a flattering offer. "I could not see my way clear to leave the New York Life, and I de clined the offer. As a result of that declination. I had my salary raised to $75,600 a year. While that was large, it was not moro than what I refused from Mr. Morgan. Finally one day the proposition was' made to me to occupy the dual position I now occupy with both concerns. The arrangements I made were that my salary should be reduced in the New York Life, and that my efforts should be directed fo rward the banking business." ARMISTICE BEGINS TODAY Xo Soldiers Allowed In Neutral Zone Between Armies. GUNSHU PASS. Manchuria, Sept 14 (Thursday). Owing to the variance be tween time In Russia and Japan, and also the fact that the exact spot for the meeting of the Russian and Japanese rep resentatives had not been defined, Major Gcneral Ovanovsky, representing General Llnlcvltch, was the last to arrive yester day morning at the place for the armis tice conference.
