METHODS OF INSURANCE MEN
New York Life Company Made Big Do

nation 10 Cam paIgu Fund.
Vice President George W. Perkins Of
the New York Life gave the Armstrong
legislative committee sensational in
side data concerning the company's
financial methods at Thursdays ses-
sion. He frankly admitted that an
entry of $4s, 702 in a ledger marked
ordered paid by the president" rep
resented contribution to the Repub-
liean campaign fund last year. He
added that similar donations were
made in 1900 and 1896. He acknowl-
edged that his expenditure never was
brought to the attention of the finance
committee, but was a purely execu-
tive action determined upon because
it was considered for the best inter-
ests of the policy holders Other
astonishing methods of insurance We're
laid bare by the New York state in
vestigation.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany demanded an investigation as
soon as the wrong6oing of the Equita-
Gle began to be aired. In compliance
with this request the legislative COM
mittee begun to probe into its affairs.
What it has brought out is not a bit
pleasing to its officers and is disquiet-
ing to those carrying policies with the
company. 1t is not as bad as the
Equitable, but it is serious enough.
Looseness and extravaganza are be-
Inn ri ho 10 Of hn
ident, John A. Mccall has been adj
vanced from $4,000 to 100000 i'll a
few years, and without substantial
reason. His pay was put up to this
princely figure because that of the
president of the Equitable was raised
to these figures, not that he was worth
it. In other ways the money of the
insured has been going for purposes
never intended by the articles of asSo-
citation and which in no way contrib
uted to the strsngth of the company.
The life insurance officials now I'M
der fire in New York are trying to JUS
tify their bond floating syndicates by
showing that if they did make money
for themselves they made more money
for the policykolders whose funds they
used. In many cases these bond-hoat-
ing operations were profitable to ali
concerned. However, it is questionable
whether the same amount of money,
invested without syndicate aid, would
not have brought as large returns.
Furthermore, if there were profits,
how about the losses? Here are some
of the more conspicuous losses that
have come to light during the present
investigation:
The officials of one company took it
into partnership with them for $3,S75,-
900 in a flotation of securities Of the
New Orleans street railway system.
The street railways went into re
ceivership, and the company charged
off a loss of $326,O00 of its policy
holders money The officials of this
and another great company took them
into partnership for 100000 and
$1,500,O0O, respectively, in the f1ota-
ton of a trusts securities. The latter
company already has charged UP a
loss of 100000. The other has sold
$4,000 of it's holdings at a loss of
$4,000, and the sale of the remainder
at present prices would result IN a
further loss of $4,000. And the end

One to Appear in Cloth of Silver, 9th


One to Appear in Cloth of Silver, Other
in Gold Tissue.
Already two lovely sisters in Phil
adelphia, one a blonde, the other a
brunette, know just what they will ap-
pear in at certain great ball next
winter
The blonde will be in cloth of silver
The brunette will wear gold tissue
These materials are quite similar.
Both are tissues of the most exquisite
quality.
The blonde, who is exquisitely fair,
will have no color at all about her
silver hardly counting as such. There
will be little shimmery real lace and
quantities of tulle which will be felt by
admirlng eyes rather than seen. Her
only ornaments will be diamonds,
which will leave her golden hair and
her pansy eyes without rivals The
dress viii be a trailing princess, SUI
perbly plain, a mere simmer of moon
light and dainty enough for a fairy.
As for the other of golden tissue. it
will be much daintier than it sounds.
There's no copper in the color. It is
| more the clear, cool Guinea gold color.
and indeed, it is perfectly refined and
not at all loud, heavy or showy-looking.
1t, too, will be made in the princess
style, with the bodice lightly, almost
loosely, draped. With the exception
of this drapery the entire dress will
be plain, flowing superbly from the
| figure.
In this its wearer will be a dark
eyed queen. Her Jewels will be tur-
quoises set in diamonds. Just how
superb the turquoise are with the gold
you can't think And the diamonds
give the necessary sparkle. Gold It's
sue is, indeed, among our loveliest
| fabrics, and compared with the heavy,
clumsy, old-time cloth Of gold it seems
like tulle, so dainty are the cobwebby
threads woven.
