cedent upset last night when resolu.
tions praising President Roosevelt for
his tact and statesmanshipi in bringing
about a settlement of the Russo
japanese war were adopted amid en-
thusiastic cheers at. the democra attic

The resolutions created a ensation.
They spoke of the presidents "remark-

Japanese Debt Increased.

TOXIC, Oct. 5.-ln passing the peace
treaty yesterday the privy council has
clearly impressed upon the anti-peace
agitators the impossi bility of refusal
to ratify it.
Former Foreign Minister Okuma,
leader of the progressive party, before
the associated chambers of commerce
today, referring to the sudden expan.
sion of Japan's finances, said that
when the withdrawal of troops is com.
pleted she will 6nd herself confronted
with debt of 81, $50, 600, 900, the inter.
est on which alone will be $75, 900, 600,
or nearly twice the revenue OF the
country 10 years ago. The percapita
OF taxation before the war was 81.
Now it is S6. The percapita share in
the natioual debt before the war was
S.. It is now $25.
Count Okuma, however, is not pes.
simistic. He spoke eloquently of the
necessity OF the business men redoub-
ling their energies in the development
OF productive works of all kinds and
thus securing victories in peace as
we'll as in war.

rest followed an investig alton by the

ed In the bank Of which he was presi.

huntley Irrigation Project More Difficult,
Than They Estimated.

BILLINGS, Oct. 8.-The bidders on the
government project for an irrig alton
canal on the Grow reserv alton seem to
be affected with consider able instabili.
ty of purpose. When the government
opened the bids on June % at the office
OF Chief Engineer Savage in this city,
Nick Hughes OF Butte submitted the
lowest bid and was awarded the con.
tract. On going over the ground again
Mr.. Hughes decided that he would lose
money on his contract, and followed
this decision by forfeiting his d 900
check and paying to the federal officers
the difference between his bid aud the
next highest. This is the requirement
which every recinding bidder must
fulfill. Grifiths 4 McDermott, Chi
cago firm, whose bid was next highest,
announced that they were too busy to
take up the contract and also forfeited
their Sl, 600 check and paid over the
difference between their bid and the
next highest. AT present the work
seems in . fair way to be carried on
by the next highest bidders, who are,
first division, Cotton Bros, of Oak
land. Cal. This division comprises
about two miles of the canal.
Second division, consisting Of near.
ly eight miles, w. D. Lowell, of Min.
neapolis. Mr.. Lowell has the contract
for the structures along the entire ca.
nal and 10 preparing to begin work on
that branch of the property.
Third division, consisting of about
IL miles of main canal and six miles
of laterals, to Callahan Bros. and
Phelan 4 Shirley of ON aha.
H. N. Savage stated today that he
had no inform alton as to whether the
last set Of ontractors to whom the
work was awarded would stick to their
bids or not. 1t Is necessary that the
work should begin as soon as posi-.
ble in order that the provisions Of the
a., by which that portion of the Grow
reserv alton on which the proposed
canal is to be located may be thrown
open for settlement within four years
from the time of the passage thereof.

BIG INSURANCE GRAFT.
Relatives of Officials Received Enormous
Sums as Commissions

New YORK, Oct. 5.-That the as
founding total Of more than 81, 600, 900
has been paid as commissions by the
Mutual Life to two members of the
family of Richard A. McCurdy, presi.
dent of the company, and the promise
OF District Attorney Jerome that the
insurance question will certainly be
submitted to an extraordinary grand
jury, were the sensational develop.
ments today.
It was brought out by testimony be-
fore the legislative insurance commit.
tee that Robert H. McCurdy, has re.
ceived as high as commissions on for.
eign business 81, , ,163, 1929 and on domes.
tic business s541, 1852, and that Louis
A. Theibud, son.in.law of Rich ard A..
McCurdy, has had an aggregate OF
1920, lib in commissions from the com.
pany. 1t was also brought out that
Robert H. McCurdy expected his in.
come this year would be about sllO, 900.
Previous to this testimony, w. F..
Thummel, an attorney for the Mutu al
Life Insurance company testified that
he had paid to the chairman of the re-
publican congressional campaign COM
mittee the sum of O., 500 In cash as a
campaign contribution.
Mr.. Jerome, in announcing in court
that the ais will be submitted to
an extraordinary grand jury said the
inquiry by the legislative committee
had shown "greater moral obliquity
and moral obtuseness on the part OF
the persons implicated than did the
shocking revelations in regard to the
Equita BILE Life.''

PAID ENORMOUS SALARIES.
Insurance Investigation Results In Ex-
posure Of Gigantic Graft.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Robert Nc.
Curdy, general man ager OF the Mutual
Life company, was again a witness
today in the insurance investigation.
He went on the stand Immediately af.
ter Cornelius c. White, an auditor Of
the New York Life. had left it, after
making correction in his testimony
relative to the $4,000 payments to
Andrew Hamilton in 1904.
In today's testimony sens ationa de.
velopments were brought out when
Mr.. Hughes demanded the payroll of
the executive officers of the company.
This was produced and showed the
salaries OF these officers since 1877.
For the year 1904 President McCurdy
received $3.50, 900: two vice presidents
were paid $50, 600 each, u second vice
president Sl7 900, the third vice pre.i-
dent $40, 900, and the genera! manager
S25, 900, who this year will receive
$50, 900, and the treasurer $50 600.
Robert McCurdy said he never knew
the salary Of his father until today
when he heard it read in the commit
tee room. He thought. however, that
there should b. no limit to the salary
ot such positions, because they should
be In accord ance with the accumula.
tiOns Of the company.
When asked If it was amy benefit to
the policy holders to increase the
presidents salary, Mr.. McCurdy said
he thought the trustees had considered
II go when they increased the presi-
dents salary. No increase, however,
had ever been considered when he was
present at the trustees meeting.
OEarlier in the day, when Mr.. Nc.
Curdy was on the stand, Mr.. Hughes
tried to bring out why G. H. Ray.
mond & Co. and the partners in that
firm received larger emoluments from
the business than any other agency.
MIR. McCurday said he did not know
what Mr.. Thebaud received from the
business, aud had never talked to him
about his personal affairs. He said /,
was "a large reward for large
achievement, aud that all business
of large magnitude were built on tn at
principle.

CHICAGO. Oct. 6.-Expert testimony
on the subject Of freight rates was Civ

nected with the freight departments Of
q number Of western roads, was on the
witness stand and was questioned at
length by counsel regarding his opin.
ion of the reasonableness Of the rates
on cattle. dressed meat and packing
house products.
"1n my opinion the present rates on
livestock from Missouri river points
and southern Minnesota to Chicago
are too high," he said. 1.-THE rates
on livestock should be lower than on
dressed meat and packing house prod.
ucts from these points. Even with
equal rates on these commodities, the
livestock interests would be discrimi.
mated against. The present schedules
are unfair to Chicago. They give an
advantage to the St. Paul and Mis-.

also that the fair has pleased the peo.
pie, and that Is another source of
qualification. It is evident that the
enormous attendance could not have
been rolled up unless the fair had re.
ceived FREQ uent testimonials from early
visitors.
It is evident now that the fair will
be In point Of attendance and in every
other respect, the most successful ex-
position ever held. Comparison with
the records made At the Trans. Missis.
sippi exposion at Omaha, an exposi.
tton OF about the same magnitude as
that now drawing to close, and which
has been generally conceded to have
been the most successful OF all fairs,
show that this exposition will outdo
the showing made by the eastern en-.

markable when the statement is made
that Omaha had population Of l3,.

there reside within q similar radius
