Aldrirh, senir ;nator from Rhode Island, owns more than 300 shares of stock In the United States Rubber Company, according to the New York World. The World's story Is based on a view of the stock books of the rubber company, obtained by a World reporter, who purchased one share of the stock in order that he might be entitled to examine the list of shareholders. Although protesting against doing so. Secretary Morris, of the rubber company, showed him the stcck books At the top of one page was written the name of Nelw n W. Aldrlch. The entry, the World r-ys. shows Aldrlch owned 840 shares of the first pre ferred stock. The date of the entry was July 18, 1910. "Is that the date the stock was pur chased T asked the reporter. "Oh, no," Norrls is reported to have replied. "That Is merely the date it was transferred from the old ledger. He has owned it for some time." The names of four other Aldrlches, It Is reported, appeared In the list of shareholders, the World says- . The Investigation of the stock books was made following the an swer some time ago of Smutor Aid- rich to charges by Bunator lirlwtow, of Kansas, that Aldrlch profited di rectly by the Increase in rubber schedules in the recontly adopted tar iff bill. . . Aldrlch, In a letter to Congressman McKlnley, chairman of the congres sional campaign committee, said that neither he nor any momber of his family had ny pecuniary Interest as to whether the duties on manufac tures of rubber were SO, 8& or 300 per cent. The United States Rubber Com pany, sometimes known as the Man ufacturing rubber trust, controls the biggest rubber factories In the coun- connn-tion with the Inter-Continental Rubber Company, which Aldrlch ex plained, was an Importing-concern.
