New York, Sept. 13.-Frederick II. Ship
man, assistant treasurer fer the last three
wears OF the New York Life Insurance
company, was the first witness before the
legislative life insurance committee to-
day.
He was examined on syndicate account.
The Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo ac-
counts were first taken up and the ac-
counts were zone into in detail.
How could the New York Life" Mr..
Hughes, counsel TO the committee asked,
''retire Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo
bonds from the syndicate at 20 when IL
had been bought by them while in the
syndicate at 9l7'
Because the market price in the opin-
ION or G. NJ. Gibbs. the treasurer at the
time was 90. We credited profit 81, $3.50 TO
lproht 10 loss"
Mr.. Shipman I'm reply to further aues-
lions said the company raised the price
from n to 80 but hat profit had new
er been released and the company holds
the bonds at the present time.

Mr.. Hughes. did not return bonds as Is
customary TO the syndicate managers, but
took them themselves and credited on the
booksa profit. which in fact had not been
tmade?'
Yes"
Next Mr.. Hughes turned TO the joint
nccount Of Goldman. Sachs and Company
and tho New York Life I'm 1899.
The account was created In order to

How can you explain that on July Is.
nSss. you buy and sell $50 bonds on the
say. according 10 your statement asked
Dir. Hughes.
The only wa I can explain g." Mr..
Shipman replied. Ifs hat the New York
Life held these bonds and wished 10 sell
them. Therefore II named n fair price
and transferred them 10 a joint account"
Now don't YOU see the purchase Is
not for the syndicate but for the New
Iork Life Insurance company?"
II can't say. II Is six years ago"
is II fair 20 say hat the New York
lIife enters into an agreement with others
or provides the money for the purchase OF
nhe bonds. and then gives the member.
OF the syndicate the profits OF the saie?'
Yes"
Does II mean that the New York Life
pays one-half profits 90 bankers 10 get
them 20 handle the syndlcates?"
"Yes. i think Il Is sometimes advisable

WELCOMED BY CHINESE.
Lidziapudzu. Manchuria, Sept. ID
Whatever may be the feelings of the
Russian or Japanese soldiers regarding
the conclusion of peace one man well
comes It unreservedly and with beaming
smiles. This man Is the Chinaman on
whose land the war was fought for nearly
two months. Today the roads around
here are filled with happy, smiling China
men and women, old and young, who. oc-
cupying clumsy carts, loaded with their
household goods. are proceeding in long
lines back TO their old homes.
The Chinese greet the Russian soldiers
with the one word peace" which Is re-
peated over and over again. Many OF
their homes have been devastated, but
Notwithstanding this they express their
Joy at getting back 10 peaceful and in
dustrious occupations.
Furthering the game of neutrality TO
each side, which the Chinese have been
obliged 10 play for so many months. has
been a hard one and peace has brought
relief from this strain. 1t is no exag-
geration TO say that the Chinese are now
the happiest people in Manchuria.
1t is reported here that the Japanese
have disbanded the Chinese bandit or
ganization with which thy operated dur
ing the war.
