Contributions to Campaign Fund.

George w. Perkins, member of the
firm Of j. P. Morgan & Co. and first
vice president of the New York Life
Insurance company, was the principal
witness before the special legisla
tive committee which is probing
life insurance companies and his tes
timony was replete with revelations
In the development of finance as ap
piled by insurance companies
The climax of the day came when
Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry of $4S,702 in ledger marked
ordered paid by the president"
Mr.. Randolph, the treasurer of the
New York Life company, who had
been on the stand earlier in the day,
had been sharply questioned as to the
purport Of this entry, but he was un.
able to explain It. He thought no one
but the president could. Mr.. Perkins
had been called to testify as to some
other transactions and after the recess
he was asked to produce the check. II
was made out payable to ]. p. Morgan
& Co. and Mr.. Perkins frankly stated
1t was a contribution to the national
Republican campaign committee. and
had been paid TO Cornelius N. Bliss.
Mr.. Perkins said:
This payment was made after
very careful deliberation. 1t must not
be considered an ordinary contrlCu.
ton to the campaign fund 1t was
paid because we felt the assets of the
New York Life Insurance company
would be jeopardized by Democratic
success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and In 1896. AS an
illustration, witness said the first con.
tribution made was In 1896 by Presi.
dent Mccall, who is Democrat. HE
contributed to the Mckinley campaign
fund and voted for Mckinley because
he felt 1t was in the best interests Of
the policy holders of his company"

see, we has enough O the water without
goin' to bother WI it when we are
ashore" a man said to me only the
other day. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard His hands were too
numbed to be of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water. In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
fee after seals, when all Of a sudden it
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father, seeing it from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, Selling a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body

alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.
