STATEMENT OF M'CURDY,
Purpose of Mutual Life Not to Declare
Dividends to Premium Payers.

New York, Oct 10.-On the witness
stand at the insurance investigation
this afternoon Richard A. McCurdy,
president of the Mutual Life, made the
startling assertion that in his opinion
the Mutual Life Insurance company
should be conducted as an eleemosy-
nary institution and that the question
of paying dividends to policy holders
should not be considered as of any
great importance.
McCurdy declared the real purpose
of life insurance of late years had
been obscured by this striving to make
dividends for the policy holders. 1t
was while Hughes was trying to show
that the expenses incurred by the Nut.
.ual in getting new business were
larger han they should have been that
McCurdy made the ABOVE statement

GEN. WILLIAMS VIEWS.
In His Annual Report He Urges Young
Officers.


In his annual report to the secre-
tary of war, Brlgadier General Con-
slant Williams, commanding the De-
partment of the Columbia, expresses
decided views about the inexpediency
of retaining in the service officers who,
by reason of age, mental condition or
physical ailments are unable to endure
the hardest field service and intelli-
gently direct their troops. He would
have no captain over the age of 40
years, and he suggests rigid physical,
mental and technical examination for
every officer before he shall be placed
in command of a regiment. A cor
rollary of this project is a plan for
the compulsory retirement of officers
to insure the accession to high com
mands of men young enough for active
field work.
General Williams also urges more
liberal treatment Of officers in the mat
ter Of expenses. He thinks they should
not be obliged to pay for the heating
and lighting of headquarters, and that
they should be furnished their mounts
at the governments expense.
He also suggests an improved form
of officers mess and the strengthening
of the seacoast fortifications on the
north Pacific coast. In Alaska, he be-
lieves Fort Davis, near Nome, might
be proftably abandoned, and Fort
Michael reservation should be consid-
erably reduced in size retaining only
so much land as is necessary for mill
tary purposes. He recommends the
establishment of a rifle range at Van
couver barracks and at American lake.
Like every general commanding the
great military divisions and depart
ments who have yet been heard from
on the subject, and only one remains
to report this year, General Williams
urges the restoration of the army can
teen.

CITY PROFITS BY RUM.
Los Angeles Asked to Participate in
Saloon Earnings.

AS the result of formal PROPOSE
ton submitted in writing to the city of
Los Angeles there is a possibility that
the "Gothenburg saloon system" may
be installed in that city, supplanting
the present private ownership of the
200 saloons there. The proposition
came from 25 of the leading business
men of the city, among the number
being several possessing personal for
tunes of millions. 1t is proposed by
these men as company to pay to LAe
city the sum of $4,000 per annum for
the 200 saloon licenses now in opera
ton in the city, and to reduce the to-
tai number Of saloons from 200 to %.
The company offers to acquire the fur
niture and fixtures and good will of
saloons from the present proprietors
at an appraised valuation. After the
license tax has been paid the stock
holders of the company, under the pro-
posed plan, would be entitled to per
cent dividends from the receipts of the
business on the total amount of their
Investment, the remainder of the prof
it's from the operation OF the 25 sa-
looms TO revert to the city treasury.
