NSURANCE COMBINE
Morgan Believed to Be Planning
Giant Combine.
CAPITALIZED AT $1,700,000,000
Saving In Present Scattered Control
Would Result Question of Pol
icies Not Quits Clear.
New York, Dec. 4. The amalgama-
ion of the "big three" life insurance
companies the Equitable Life, New
lork Litre ana Mutual .Lite is possible
as the result of the purchase of con
trol ox the Equitable by J. nerpont
Morrau & (Jo.
ouch a consolidation was seriously
considered several years ago, before the
upheaval in the Equitable which made
so many radical changes in the insur
ance busiuess. These changes have
greatly increased the probability of an
amalgamation and have removed many
of the conditions which then made it
impossible. The advantages are said
to be many and important and the ob
jections are not insurmountable..
irom a hnancial standpoint the con
solidation would be highly desirable for
those in control, as it would put assets
of si,7U0,uuu,uu0 under the direction oi
a single group of financiers and would
result in a material saying in the pres
out distributed control!
Mr. Morgan, if he were to dominate
the consolidated companies, would have
the handling and investment of an an
nual income of $Z75,uuu,uuu. The aver
age cash in bank of the three compa
nies is now $25,000,000.
There are eeveral great railroad sys
tems in which the combined holdings
of the three companies would be $50,
000,000 and over, with all that it im
plies in influonoe. Of New York Cen
tral bonds alone -the three hold $45,
000,000, to say nothing of other lines
that are part of the New York Cen
tral system. In Pennsylvania bonds
the three hold $38,000,000.- Even Mr,
Morgan's steel trust is dwarfed by the
possibilities oi this combine.
GALE SINKS FREIGHT SHIP.
Six Men Go Down With British Baric
Off Cape Flattery.
.Portland, Dec. 4. Six Jives were
claimed for toll by the rock-bound
shores of Cape Flattery when the
British bark Matterhorn foundered in
a heavy sea, 70 miles off Umatilla reef
lightship, November 27.
.Leaving the vessel during the heavy
gule that prevailed, the first .officer's
boat was dashed to pieces, and the
mate, steward and four of the sailors
wore drowned.
Captain Salter and second mate and
25 ot the crew launched a large life
boat, and after battling with the storm
tor 27 hours, and enduring great -bard-
ships, succeeded in reaching ' Umatilla
lightship.
Crazed by exposure, one sailor
jumped overboard when approaching
the lightship, and was rescued with
difficulty by his comrades.
On buturday, November 27, the day
on which the luatterhorn foundered,
one of the fiercest storms which has
been experienced in years swept the
entire Pacific coast between Northern
California and Alaska.
At North Head the wind registered
as high as 84 miles an hour, and it blew
with even greater velocity at Tatoosh
Island. Vessels a day behind the Mat
terhorn and Howard D. Troop were
bar-bound at Astoria for several days.
and vessels outside hovered around the
lightship, unable to get' in.
.During the same gale which wreciced
the Matterhorn, the steamer Areo went
ashore off Tillamook bar, November 2(5,
wnon nve lives were lost.
Tn charge of Captain Salter the Mat
terhorn crossed out over the Columbia
River bar at 10:20 a. m. November 20,
She was in company with the British
ship Howard D. Troop, and at that
time the Portland waterfront figured
out a race between the two vessels on
the voyage around the Horn. The Mat
terhorn carried 105,021 bushels of bar
ley and was bound for Ipswich, direct.
The cargo was dispatched by Balfour,
Guthrie & Co. She carried a master
two mates and 29 men.
The Matterhorn was a four-masted
iron bark and was built at Greenock
in 1882, and was owned by C. E. De-
Wolf & Co. She was classed in Lloyds
as iuo A-i.
Plot to Kidnap Three Foiled.
St. Louis, Dec. 4. Four men were
arrested in Collinsville, 111., today
charged with participating in a plot
to Kidnap the three young children of
L. V. Lumaghi, an ex-mayor of the
town. They are held under bonds of
$4,000. Lumaghi received "black
hand" letters demanding $6,000 on
pain of losing his children. Under ad
vice of the police he put this amount
in stage money in the designated place
and early today an Italian was caught
at the spot. He confessed and impli
cated four others, three of whom were
apprehended.
Two Girls Bide Under Train.
Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 4. Two little
girls, Agnes smith and Annie Luecke,
both 13 years old,- who escaped from
the industrial school here on the night
of November 29, made a 40-mile trip
to Jefferson Junction dinging to the
rods underneath a passenger coach, and
then walked ten miles across the conn
try in an attempt to outwit oincers
tbey knew would be seeking them. Both
are sick from their hazardous escapade
and the smith girl, is not expected
