New York, Oct. 10. The sensatlonsi
development of the life-.lnsurance In
vestlgatlon this morning was the In
formation conveyed to the legislative
committee In response to their subpoena
that George W. Perkins, member of the
firm of J. P. Morgan ft Co.. aad - vlce
president of the New York Life Insur
ance" company, had fled to Europe, pre
sumably to avoid giving- further evi
dence! to : the oo remittee. . Inquisitor
Hughes stated that he' was by no means
through questioning! Mr. Perkins, and his
departure lias -complicated matters. It
..Is thought that J. Pterpont Morgan will
now be called, upon- to explain the "Joint"
, transactiona of his firm with the New
York Life at the point that Mr. Perkins
. left off. . . ,' I' - . '
Members of the legislative commute
were very milch surprised to. learn of
the flight, and announce that they will
take the same stand towards him tbst
they have taken towards Mr. Hyde, of
the Equitable, and practically exile him
from New York unless he obeys the
committee's subpoena. ' . '

- Robert Oltphant, trustee of the Mu
tual Life .Insuranoe -company, was . the
first witness examined by the commit'
tee this morning. He was qulssed re
garding the legal expenses and the cam-'
paign contributions mads by his com
pany. He. said that all ' corporations
maintained a "confidential legal fund"1
which was used, to Influence legislation.
Ollphant said that as chairman ha had
aathorlty to draw money on his vouch
ers for legal expenses. He sdmltted
that he did not know why the money
was not paid direct to the general so
licitor for - disbursement, . but .. went
tnrougn secret channels.
Ollphant said. In response to questions
by Attorney Hughes, that eight pay
ments of I2S.000 each, or a- total of
1300,000, had been made to hint as
cValrman of legal expenses. ; He said
thai he turned over each payment to
officers of the company, and that he did
not consider that It was Ms duty to
know Its speclllo uses) . He frankly ad
mitted that he did not know what be
came of the money, but he supposed that
some of It went to the Republican cam
paign fund, because he had not heard
of contributions coming from any other
fund, and he had beard that such con
tributions had been made, . , .

Robert A. Orannls, vice-president of

had never heard of campaign oontribu.

lobbyist for the New York Life. He
couldn't recall whether he had ever con
ferred with the New York Life represen
tatives regarding legislation -anywhere
In this country, and said thst Thummel
looked after legislation, but he couldn't
recall-ever having given him Instruc
tions. Mr. Gillette, another vice-president of
the Mutual,' was called. ' He was shown
vouchers for 116.000 each bearing his
signature arid said tbey were for "legal
expenses." ,
.-Hughes asked: "What are legsl ex
penses?" j ,
Ulllette said; "The general solicitor
told me the money was to be used for
'legal expenses.' "
. Hughes persisted and Gillette said he
wasn't told the specific purpose. 1
Gillette's attention was' called to the
fast thst the ."legal expenses" of ths,
Mutual last year were t3f, 000, New I
lork Life $171,000 and the-Equitable
1304.006. He was asked to explain why

v. .(Joarsal Special grrvlca.)
Washington, Oct. -10. Enough confer
snces have been held by President Roose
velt with the cabinet and other Influ
ential advisers to make reasonably clear
the legislative program of the adminis
tration for the coming session of con
gress. 'No emphasis will be put on the

It Is ' Impossible to make the public
think of two questions of such magni
tude as tariff revision snd railroad rate
regulation at the aame time, and 'to at
tempt legislation of - the kind desired
along both lines will be to scatter en
ergies and Invite defeat The only In

Since last' year the president's ' views
on : the railroad rate question , have "as
sumed definite shape, so that his friends
will go Into the contest with the defi

What Caused the Falling Off in
Earnings.
" r j ' ' . .
Portland,. Or., Oct I. To the Edi
tor of The Journal In view of the di
rect Interest tnousands of policy-holders
in this state have In life Insurance
companies and the conduct of their af
fairs. lr may not be out of place to
present certain facts and suggestions.
It must ever be borne' In mind that
a great point has always been made of
their mutuality, the policy-holders con
trol, the high standing of the boards of
directors and the distribution or all
earnings, ' save ' aUfflclent to ' Insure
their mutuality, the policy-holders'' con
crete example Is sometimes more, ef
fective to make a point clear than a
cofuraiTof argument
-- On Aprir -a. lso, the then .agent' or
the New York Life Insurance company
residing at Portland submitted to me s
proposition for life insurance on. a 1S-
annuaV-payment plan. This proposition
was presented In writing and at the
time I was advised the estimates were
very conservative. The plan proposed
was for a policy for 15.000 with options
at the end of the period as follows:.
Cash surrender value IS.C37.I0 or -a
paid up policy oV-M.400 or dividend pay
able in cash of $1,467.(0 and a paid up
policy for $5,000.
A Bsmsrkable DUfereaee.
I accepted the proposition and a pol
icy was Issued May t, 180, maturing
May , 1S06. . Under date of November
24, 1004. I was advised by ths company
that on the maturity of the policy the
cash ' surrender value would be IJ.ISS
or a paid up policy for t.8S or a cash
dividend of tll.H and a paid up policy
for $6,000. . . .'
Upon asking for an explanation I was
advised, under dats of January S. 106,
that -the statement was only an .esti
mate (which Is true), that Interest had
declined since the policy was written,
thus affecting earnings snd that The
policy constitutes the entire contract
No agent has power tn behalf
of the company to make or modify the
contract in any respect"
raads Are Trass Pmada. .
The choice made by me Is of no In
terest to any one save myself, but the
results are, and I Imagine every policy
holder In this company will remember
the circulars and pamphlets mailed
them this spring, and the assurances
made therein. Since then the search
light has been turned on the New York
Life Insuranoe company and the testi
mony of Its own officials shows a most
astounding condition and affords ample
explanation as to why earnings fell off
and the estimate was not met The
funds In their hands are trust funds,
pure and simple snd do not belong to
them, but represent the savings of hun
dreds of thousands of people and should
be ' handled for the , oeneflt of the
cestui qui (rustents. This much the
law enjoins. " .
Bnslsess Is Simple.
Between the- salaries, expenses, per
centages, allowances, legislative expen
ditures, syndicate 'operations. Joint ac
counts, subsidiary companies and po
litical contributions. Is It any wonder
earnings fell off? The business of ah
Insurance company, particularly a mu
tual one, reduced to Its last analysis, la
simple. Tie mortuary tables, vital
statistics, ths experience of years of
dealing with hundreds of thousands of
policy-holders enable the actuaries to
determine to a nicety, the amount of
money needed to pay policies as death
occurs; In other words, to determine the
cost of Insurance.
In a mutual company the theory is to

; Toledo, Ohio, Oct 10. The ' annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Wa

o'clock this morning. , The meeting Is
of unusual importance, as It will prac
tically decide the battle between Joseph
Ramaey, Jr., the suspended president
of the . Wabash railroad and George J.
Gould, over the control of the railroad.
Railroad men and financial men In all
parts of the , country- are looking for
ward with great Interest to the battle.
Ramsey formally protested the' elec
tion of Gould aa chairman on the ground
that Gould was . also chairman of the
Missouri Pacific board.- A -recess was
taken to permit - the bondholders - to
caucus. ' . ' - "-, :
, The bondholders announced that they
would take advantage of the privilege
accorded by the Ohio law and take alx
directors, allowing the stockholders six
the 12 to elect a chairman. -
The roll of stockholders wss called te

tested as fast as the. proxies were an
nounced, and his protests were . filed
without comment -This fight. It Is an
nounced by Ramsey' attorneys. Is pre
liminary to a conteat In the courts to
oust the board of directors' and air the
inttrnal affairs of the company. Gould
anticipates a long'battlel . ,
' Ramsey announced that he would use
the cumulative system of voting prox
ies. As a stockholder, he would vote one
sixth of the stock for himself, assuring
himself a plica on 'the board of direc

In the early' part- of the summer the
directors of the-Ws bash railroad held a
meeting and- granted Mr. Ramaey leave

matter was then laid over to be decided
by the meeting of the stockholders.
