AVOIDS ILL FEELING BY
CLOSING TICKET INCIDENT
Salt Lake Route Officially Ends Affair
Relating to Excursionists to
Mormon City

Mormon City
So far as the Salt Lake is concerned,
the incident of certain members of the
chamber of commerce excursion scalp
ing their tickets is said to be a closed
one.
And if the Clark road is willing to
let the question drop it is said the
chamber of commerce officials will
heave a sigh of relief and do likewise.
The truth is that there were several
of the tickets of the most prominent
members of the excursion party which
rightfully or wrongfully, so far as the
original holders are concerned, fell into
the hands of scalpers.
An investigation could not fail to
bring out much i'll feeling and mis-
understanding without perhaps attain
ing any satisfactory results, so it has
been decided to let the incident die a
natural death.
1T do not know the name of single
Individual who sold his ticket or per-
mitted it to get into scalper's hands,
said Ferd K. Rule, treasurer Of the
Salt Lake road, land 1 hope I shall not
be permitted to get such information"

Lake excursion counted as a personal
friend, and I have no disposition to
instigate an investigation to find out
whether or not that friendship was

Woodbridge Divorce Case Continued.
Patient III, Says Attorney, and
the Court Answers Him
Facetlously
ANOTHER WITNESS MISSING

The absence OF an aged witness, who
through her ailments was unable to
Journey from San Jose to Los Angeles,
caused a postponement of the Wood
bridge divorce case which came up for
hearing before Judge Trask yesterday.
The parties to the action are members
Of we'll known families Of Southern
California and the defendant in the
suit, s. M. woodbridge, has been the
director of a large fertilizing concern
for many years.
The attorney for the plaintiff asked
a continuance in the proceedings yes
terday, saying that his chief witness
was ill and unable to come. Il can
get a doctors certificate to that ef-
feet" said the attorney.
Eyes, 1 suppose you can," responded
Judge Trask. "It seems that anybody
who wants a doctors certificate can
get one. L do not mean to say anything
against the physicians because in their
minds everyone has something the mat
ter with them. 1t is their business to
think people are sick. However, will
grant a continuance in the case"
In her suit for divorce, Mrs. Edith
woodbridge charges her husband with
cruelty. She alleges her husband struck
her whenever he took the notion into
his head and that as preliminary to
his blows he often used bad language
in referring to her.

States of the Union. Much of the pro-
posed insurance legislation in various
States he characterized as matchmaking
attempts. 1t was brought out:
/. That since 1900 the New York Life
has paid TO Judge" Hamilton S4tG,-
927O2 for legislative purposes, and has
also paid to others large sums for SIM
liar work, bringing the total OF such eX-
penditures up to 5000. 12I.O2.
.. That in addition to these payments
to Hamilton, President Mccall expects
him to render bills for his services dur
ing the present year which will aggre-
gate about $165. 600.
g. That, besides these payments to
Judge" Hamilton and in addition to the
S235, 900 paid him in 1903, ostenslbly on
account of real estate deals and for
which he has rendered no account to the
New York Life, he was also paid $lo,-
600 in June, 1904 for which he has
rendered no account. The total OF the
sums given him, so far as is known, for
which he has rendered no account now
stands at $4,000.
f. That John 4. MyCall. who is 4 di-
rector Of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, borrowed $4,000 from that
institution at 1 y per cent interest. On
July / last, shortly before the appoint
mcnt by the Legislature of the insur-
ance investigating committee, the inter-
est rate on this loan was increased to
215 per cent, at which it still stands,
the loan being unpaid.
). That John r. Hegeman, president
of the Metropolitan Life, in addition to
borrowing $4,000 from the New York
Life at 1 Y per cent, also, it was init
mated, borrowed money from his own
company, the Metropolitan Life.
6. That the New York Life encour-
ages its agents to get new business on
the deferred dividend plan by paying
them 60 per cent commission OF the
first years premiums and only 40 per
cent commission on annual dividend poll
cies. This. in face of the fact admit
ted by the chief actuary of the New
York Life that it is easier for an agent
to get new business on the deferred divi-
dend system than on the plans for which
the smaller commission is paid.
Z. That the cost to the company OF
getting new business on the deferred
dividend plan is so excessive that III
1903 the New York Life had to borrow
from its surplus accumulations over 81
100000 to pay the expenses of business
which in premiums yielded only in that
year about $3,40O.000.
S. That, although diligent search has
been made during the past two weeks,
no record whatever has been found on
the New York Life of anyone of the
three $4,000 payments to the Repub-
lican national campaign committee.
8. That four relatives of President
Mccall, all of them employed by the
New York Life at large salaries. live in
an apartment house at 40 West Seventy
second street, owned by the company, at
rentals which yield the policy holders
onl1 $40 per cent on an Investment
of 1908, 900, the cost of the property.
10. That President Mccall admits
there should be limitation to the bust
ness which a life insurance company
may roll up and that the legislative COM
mittee should give that subject serious
attention.

An unusual feature Of American for

customs revenues. notwithstanding the
large increase in imports. Dutiable mer-
chandise imported reached a value Of
$600,0 .23S. an increase of SG3, ia, 1O1

excess of the duties collected in 1904.
Reciprocity with Cuba reducing the du-
