WISCONSIN DAY FILLS GROUNDS OF
THE STATE FAIR IN Mil WAUKEE

Milwaukee, Sept. 14.-Wisconsin
day at the state fair yesterday opened
bright and cool and greater crowds
than ever swarmed to the big park.
The cars from both directions brought
in early hosts, those from Waukesha
being as crowded as those from down
town. The people came earlier than
on any previous day of the fair
BY noon the sun had come out in all
its warmth and the crowds Of people
were more comfortable. They be
came corresponiingly more lively and
with the airs of Liberati's band on
the plaza and of Dana's Military band
of La Crosse in the grand stand and
the Footyille band at the stock judg'
ing pavilion reused them to dancing
fever
There was a steady stream of people
through all the gates, and the fair
officials stated the crowd aggregated
no less than 10000 people for the day.

tors were treated to genuine city

excitement Of the run was enjoyed
nevertheless and an attempt was
made to have the fire laddies repeat
the performance for the benefit Of
those who had not come up in time
to witness It.

DEFENDS DEALS
WITH SYNDICATES
TREASURER OF MUTUAL SAYS
THEY ARE NECESSARY.
MADE MUCH ON THE SIDE
officer of Big Life insurance Company
Frankly Confesses That He Real
ICED Personal Profits of $26,371 in
Five Years-Declares Poiicyhold-
ers Are The Gamers.

New York, Sept. IA vigorous de
Tense of syndicates and their opera
tons in connection with the insurance
business and a frank statement of per,
sonal profits gained through heir op-
erations, made by Frederick Crom-
well, treasurer of the Mutual Life In
surance company, was the feature of
yesterdays session of the legislative
committee probing the methods of the
life insurance companies of this state
Defense of the syndicates was made
by Cromwell soon after he was called
to the stand and in an address in
which he explained the operations of
the syndicates.
When he became treasurer of the
Mutual Life Insurance company the
total assets were $500, 1000. 600, now tn
transactions of his department exceed
100,000,000 per annum. It is impos-
sible to buy advantageously large
blocks of securities, except as they
are floated by syndicates, he said, and
we have to go into them to get our in
yestments and get them in sufficient
size and at ground floor" prices. We
could not make our investments with
out syndicates and we are partners in
every syndicate into which we go.
The cOmpany's assets are now over
$3.50, 900 and while it has 800, 000,
600 invested il bonds and mortgages,
it is constantly under the necessity of
finding additional investments for ac-
cumulations of funds.
The acknowledgement of personal
profits was made in a tabulated state
ment presented to the committee after
the recess. 1t showed that Cromwell
had made a personal profit of S-6,371
from syndicate operations during the
last five years. in which he Individual
ly and the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany has participated. When prob
ing a transaction in Pennsylvania
railroad 31a convertihles. in which
Cromwell had no personal profit, the
witness stated that the Mutual Life's
holdings in the Pennsylvania railroad
was S5,000,000. It was also stated
that the 100000 pounds sterling sub
scription to the Japanese loan was
shared by the United States Mortgage
Trust company, and the Guarantee
Trust company, because the Mutual
Life had put men in the directorate
of these companies to look after its
| own interests.
"Ths result of our connection with
these companies" said Cromwell, 'is
that in IA years we have made
through them a profit of $4,000, 600
for our policyholders If we had not
these institutions we should have to
turn the Mutual Life into a banking
institution as wei as a life insurance
company This we could not do
This being the state of the case, it
is natural that we should help these
subsidiary institutions to make mon,
ey and should throw opportunities on
their way. Th~ men we put in them
are not there for their own profit.
They never get dollar out of the Mu-
tual unfairly, and every cent they
make through these trust companies

RAILROADS SAY
THEY ARE INJURED
ASK REDUCTION OF TAX RATE
AND ASSESSMENT.
GENERAL PROPERTY LOW
I. A, Polleys, Tax Commissioner of
the Omaha Road, Says That at
Least 100000 600 Should Be Added
to Valuation of General Property
Of the State
MAdison. Sentenlher La.

&FAAhiSOLls DNRl0HAhEI ! I.
Arguing that the assessment of the
property of the railroad corporations
in Wisconsin, as announced prelimin.
arily by the state tax commission, is
toe high, and that the assessment OF
the general property of the state il
too low; that the resultant rate OF
taxation is too high ami that the roads
are worked a great hardship by reason
OF this application of the I'D yalorem
law for the taxation OF railroad
property, tax commissioners OF lead
ing railroad corporations appeared
yesterday before the state tax com,
mission ana objected to the pre,min-
airy figures being made permanent
until great railroad-favoring changes
had been made.
Most of the arguments were In gen
eral terms, but I. A. Polleys of ST.
Paul, tax commissioner of the Omaha
road, presented some figures. He
said that the assessment of the prop,
erty of the Omaha system in Wiscon'
sin should be reduced at least $1,000,
600. 1t is $24,5O0.OO0 in the prelimin-
AIRY announcement. He also declared
that the assessment of the genera
property of the state should be in.
creased at least $1O0,000,000. The
result of this would be to lower the
rate of general property taxation,
which average rate is applied TO the
railroad ass essment, and it would also
reduce the amount of railroad prop
erty assessment, to which the pro
posed reduced rate of taxation would
be applied in computing the railroad
taxes.
Besides Mr.. Polleys, Frank p. Gran
don, tax commissioner of the North
western road, whose headquarters are
in Chicago, made an argument
Others speaking during the afternoon
were A. S. Dudley of Milwaukee, tan
commissioner of the Milwaukee road,
and Louis Hanitsch, chief engineer OF
the Northern Pacific.
Their arguments were generally to
the effect that their assessment was
too high, that the general property
assessment of the state was too low
and that the average rate and their
share of taxes were therefore much
larger than proper under the law.
They laid some emphasis upon the
assessment of the franchise values OF
the roads. Directing to including these
Imaginary" values. Some portions
of the hearing seemed to Indicate that
the representatives were endeayor'
ing to ascertain the methods of the
tax commission and perhaps get the
material to be used in the litigation
now being brought by the roads to
knock out the ad valorem railroad
taxation law enacted by the legisla
ture of 1908. Members of the state
railroad rate commission listened to
the arguments, as well as Attorney
General Sturdevant, who is represent
ing the state in the railroad litiga-
ton.

Peaceful Dissolution of the Scandi-

Lon ,on, Sept. 14.-Dispatches from
Chcistiania represent the situation he
tween Norway and Sweden as serious,
owing to the determined attitude of
the Swedish commissioners. Dis
patches from Stockholm. however, are
less pessimistic and express hope that
q m0dus viyendi will be arranged.
Much interest has been aroused by the
presence in London during the last
few days of Fritjof Nansen, the Arctic
explorer, who in February last, was
considered TO be a likely candidate
for the premiership of Norway and
who since the dissolution of the union
has been spoken of as the probable
first minister of Norway to Great
Britain. According TO a dispatch to
the Telegraph from Gothenburg,
Sweden, it is believed that Norway will
accept the Swedish terms and that
Sweden will agree to an arbitration
