Any estimate Of the loss the postal
department sustains on account of
the service is unreliable. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate it because no
one can tell what proportion of the
increase of revenue in large cities is
directly chargeable to the establish
ment of rural free delivery routes
from these city Offices. The depart
ment admits that there is such an
increase. Statistics show that fully
70 per cent of the mail delivered in
the country originated in the cities.
The rural routes create new business
and to an extent the city post office
gets credit for the increase in
revenue.
The postal establishment has made
but one careful study of the effect of
rural free delivery on a county. The
study was made in Carroll county,
Maryland, the first county in the
United States in which complete

NO USE FOR MR. MORGAN.
Insurance Committee VIII Not Gail
Him or DR.. CoIbg.

The legislative insurance committee has nj
| intention or calling J. Pierpont Morgan to the
witness Stand. and it is improbable that Balm.
bridge Colby will be asked to testify. George
| W Perkins, however, will be recalled to the wit
/ ness stand. probably next week.
| In fat contradiction of the printed reports
! this was the substance of a statement made
| to Tribune reporter yesterday by interests
! closely identified with the committee.
! The committee, it is said, is at present of the
opinion that Mr.. Morgan had no concern what
| ever with the New-York Life's 100000 profit on
| United States Steel. and paid by Mr.. Morgan's
| firm to Judge" Hamilton. 1t believes that Mr..
| Perkinss testimony will elucidate this point.
Mr.. Perkins is expected also to explain the S40,
600 turned to him a loan made by the
New York Life TO Boston firm
In statement made last night Mr.. Perkins
declared that the transactions referred to had
been perfectly proper.
AS to Mr.. Colby, the committee it is said has
up to date, no wish intention to ventiate
further the e-Harriman-O Odell question Of
veracity, or to ask testimony of Mr. Colby in
voving, it would, probably. the calling to the
witness stand of cloud of shipbuilding wit
nesses.
Such Investigation it is considered, would
exceed the proper scope Of and consume the al
ready much limited time remaining to the
mttee.
In this connection, the reports printed in yes
terdays newspapers that process servers have
been seeking Mr.. Colby. and seeking in vain.
dismissed as absurd by those in position to
know the facts of the case. At Mr.. Colby's Of
fee it was stated without reserve that the
mittee had made attempt to communicate
with Mr.. Colby, who has been absent in the
West but in close touch with his office Mr.
Colby, 1t was added would doubtless be glad to
appear before the committee whenever il might
suggest.
Mr.. Perkins's statement was follows:
The transactions referred to before the legis-
lative insurance Investigating committee to-day
were perfectly proper If the natural
course Of the investigation does not make this
clear am sure the committee will give
opportunity offer further testimony in the
case.
President McCurdy's appointment of Julien T.

ton that Mr. McCurdy purposes to fight TO re-

preaching a crisis, the trustees being divided on
several important questions.
It is said that Thomas Cowan is not to be re-
moved from the Equitable's payroll as the re-
suit of his testimony before the legislative COM
mittee. None the less. it would not surprise
many to see another shake-up in the Equitable
following the close of the legislative investiga-
ton.

brought forward nothing to prove the compile

/ AS to the question of the surplus Mr.. Inter
J myer contended it was matter in which the
Attorney General had no concern

ete directors and the question of ownership

ne request of the Superintendent of Insurance
ne s6ld' was necessary before the Attorney
eiIeIa a al could act in the case of the surplus,
according to the insurance la " of the State and
@ TINS request had not been made Then he urged
that the directors acts complained of had not
an taken place when the defendants were in
once Moreover, the Attorney General could not
ask ne argued, for the division of the surplus,
"hen no poncyholder's request for this was be-
fore the court.
MR.. MAYER REPLIES FOR PEOPLE.
Attorney General Mayer, replying for the peo-
pie, denied that each complaint was a separate
cause of action. They must be taken together,
he said. as examples of the way in which the
society lost money. The argument of the Attor-
ney General briefly ran over the various
pialnts against the defendants, with the idea
OF showing they were Of a nature to give tho
court Jurisdiction
The leases of the safe deposit companies were
alleged to be insufficient; there was no need to
state what loss the Equitable had suffered there
Dy In bringing up the loans and deposits made
with these companies, the allegation of
fraud, and that was serious enough. With re-
gard to the S6S5,000 loan he said:
me complaint does not necessarily mean
any any money should be paid back but it does
auege gross misconduct and urge that several
oIlcers should be suspended or removed If neces-
He argued that the court had power to con-
slder the ownership of the surplus, for the
complaint alleged the directors had failed to do
tnelr outy, in that they had not divided the
pIus among the policyholders every five years,
according to the charter, and the question as to
Whether any of it belonged to the representa-
tlYes of deceased polcyholders must come up.
John G. Milburn, counsel for E. H Hartman
ana John Jacob Astor, replying to the Attorney
General declared that it seemed that Mr.. Mayer
did not so much want action in law
action in equity or an investigation such as is
going on in that other building, rather than any
law proceedings we are used to here
He maintained that the Attorney General had
no standing which any director or policyholder
had not, and he could not proceed under bill
OF complaint that was not legally bill of COM
plant.

RICH MARINE TO SERVE OUT TIME
Australian with Millions Reports for Duty
at Brooklyn Navy Yard.

marine worth millions is, to say the least
a rarity in the corps, and when David North.
whose right name is David Beale son and heir
of rich Australian of that name, reported for
duty at the Brooklyn Navy Yard barracks last
night after fortyeght hours liberty his COM
rades pressed around him. asking all sorts of
question: to his future movements now that
he had been discovered by his rich father To
all of these he is said to have replied that he
had intention of quitting the service until
any intention of trying to have the young man
discharged it is said.
o. C. Beale is wealthy manufacturer of
Sydney, N. S. w. His David, the eldest of
eight, away to sea with a companion three
years ago. The two worked before the mast in
sailing vessel which came to New-York.
Both young men obtained employment on
shore but it was too dull for BeaIe, who was
born traveller and fond of adventure. So about
two months ago While in the West he enlisted
in the United States Marine Corps, hoping to
be sent to Panama His father and mother ar
rived in New-York few days ago, found their
sons companion with whom he left his home,
and through him they were able to trace their
son to the navy yard, where he duty
under his adopted name-David North.
Captain Albertus Catlin. U. S. NJ. c., said
yesterday that he knew nothing about the case
further than the fact that young North had
obtained leave to his parents, but that he
would have to report for duty the expiration
of that leave which was at $50 o'clock last
night. 1t is understood that the President has
issued order that the discharge of persons
enlisted in the United States navy cannot be
purchased, heretofore, it is likely that
young North will serve his time.
Mr. and Mrs Beale left the Hotel ST. Denis
early yesterday for Washington.

Again, in the of the Andrew Hamilton
payment, no record of it was made in the books
OF the company.
Among the other facts brought out at v,ester
days hearing that the Equitable Trust
Company was paying 100000 in rent for space
worth at least 100000 in the Equitable Building
at No. 120 Broadway. aud that the rental of the
Mercantile Safe Deposit Company was also in
adequate. Gerald r. Brown who testified 70
this. also furnished significant details relating
to the part the Equitable had In the King model
tenement houses The Equitable bought the
land sold ii to E. II. King, together with a loan
of enough money to build the houses and then
took them back for just what the company had
put up-S3,100.000
Pressed by Mr.. Hughes Mr. Brown indicated
that he thought Mr.. Kings profit must have
come in the building contracts, Mr.. Hughes
characterized this as "a where the Equta-
Die put up ali the money and King took all the
pront This was transaction CARRIED on un-
der the direction of Henry B. Hyde.
Mr.. Brown also testified to two interesting
facts regarding the monopoly of fire insurance
In the Equitable The first was that Frank B.
Jordan. son of Thomas D. Jordan, got all the
commissions. amounting to about $4,000 year
and second, that all business possible was di-
Verted to the Continental. The first of these
methods was explained as due to Henry B.
Hyde, the second to his Mr.. Hyde was a
director of the Continental.
Francis w. Jackson, auditor of the Equitable
admitted that the various yellow dog" funds
were unknown to him until the publication in
the press of the details of these funds He tes-
titled also that he regarded the old building of
the Equitable in Paris entirely adequate, and
accordingly need for the new one, which
cost the policyholders $3.100,000
Gerald R. Brown subsequently testified that
like Gage E. Tarbell, he had proffted by the
commissions on his policy, but he only
ceived so per cent of the commission Of the first
year, with renewals. Mr.. Tarbell got every
thing in sight. Mr.. Brown also explained that
he received his favor before the law against
batting enacted.
The committee did not sit yesterday afternoon,
but Senator Riordan and Assemblyman Prem
tice went to the house of George H. Squire, at
No 21 East 76th-st, to finish the taking of his
deposition. This will be spread upon the records
Monday morning when the committee reassen-
bles. William NJ Wins and District Attorney
Jerome were present during the session, but
agreed that curiosity brought them.
