LIFE INSURANCE CASH
AIDED REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN

Vice President of New York Life In
surance Company Testifies That
He Gave Money to Help Republican
Party.
New York, Sept. 16.-George w. Per
kins, member of the firm of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co.. and first vice president of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, was the star witness at yester-
days session of the special legislative
committee probing life insurance COM
panies' methods, and his testimony
was replete with revelations in the de-
velopments of finance as applied by in
surance companies.
The climax of the day came when
Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry of s4S.706 in a ledger, marked
ordered paid by the president"
The check was made out payable to
j. p Morgan & Co., and Mr.. Perkins
frankly stated it was contribution to
the national Republican committee.
and had been paid to Cornelius N.
Bliss. Mr.. Perkins said:
This payment was made after very

considered an ordinary contribution to
cause we felt that the assets of the
New York Life would be jeopardized
by Democratic success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and in 1896.
This bomb caused murmur of con-
versation about the room, which had
become packed with spectators. Stand
ing room was at a premium, and every
one bent forward to catch the testi-
mony.
Pursuing the inquiry further, Mr..
Hughes brought out that this expendi-
ture was never brought to the atten-
tion of the finance committee, the wit
ness terming 1t a purely executive ac-
tion." 1t was charged against cash on
the books of the Hanover bank office,
or financial department.
Mr.. Perkins here interposed: 'T
would like to make one statement. The
fact that the check is drawn to ]. p.
Morgan & Co. has no significance.
paid out the money and it was merely
because of convenience of repay
ment that the check was made pay
able to ]. p. Morgan & Co."
What other contributions to polit-
ical campaign funds have been made
by the New York Life?"
"None to my knowledge"
Senator Armstrong queried about
the $4S.000 check to the campaign
fund. He asked: "Were you in a po-
sition to know of other campaign con-
tributions?"
81 don't know: that is question
that ought to be looked into. All CAM
paign contributions should be given
the widest publicity. They ought to be
publicly known, and there ought to be
a law passed to that effect"

a 12-oz. package it is because he has

at Seattle.


Seattle, Wash, Sept. 16.-The ninety
sixth annual meeting of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions of the Congregational Church
opened here Thursday.
Treasurer Frank II. Wiggin read the
report of the treasury department as
follows:
The total receipts for the year end
ing Aug. 31st were $752,149 Not in
cluded in this amount, because given
for a specified purpose, was the gift OF
$55,000 from John ID. Rockefeller in
part payment of pledge of 100000
for educational work for institutions
allied with the board. Treated in the
same way was gift of $1,000 from Mr..
frank Vanderpool for a new building
in connection with st. Poul's Insti-
tute at Tarsus. If these two sums
were added, the total amount from
the receipts would be $S12,149.
The total disbursements, including
the gift of Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Vanderpool were s905, 5,939, and the ex-
cess of expenditures above receipts
was $153,7 ,790, which added to the debt
of the previous year of $22,737, makes
debt carried over to the account of
the new year of s176.527.
The cost of maintaining the work
abroad has been materially increased,
the necessity for part of the increase
being unavoidable. as it could not be
foreseen.
The amount of conditional gifts re-
ceived was $34,730. the conditional gift
fund, now amounting to $49l,7l3, n
growth of S29,430. The twentieth cen
tury fund now amounts to s136,17S.
and unpaid pledges are in hand which
will swell it to about $144 900.

HONEST PHYSICIAN.
Works with Himself First.

1t is a mistake to assume that ply
sicians are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use
of drugs as possible and by the use
of correct food and drink. A physi-
clan writes from Calf. to tell how he
made a well man of himself with
Natures remedy:

oped. with pains in the cardiac region,

Tea.
THE tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned, and l quit it also. and
tried to use milk for my table bev-
erage. This l was compelled however
to abandon speedily, for, while it re-
lieved the nervousness somewhat, it
brought on constipation. Then by
happy inspiration l was led to try tto
Postum Food Coffee. This was some
months ago and l still use it. l am
no longer nervous, nor do I suffer
from the pains about the heart, while

PACKING HOUSE SALE
TRUST TO BUY DENVER PLANTS
Reported Negotiations for Purchase of
Denver Stockyards and Packing
House Plants.


Denver, Sept. 1S.-Denver is to be
the great packing and distributing
point for the entire Western country,
If persistent report is confirmed.
This report connects the names of the
big combination known as the packing
trust with the purchase of the two
Denver packing plants and the Denver
stock yards. Stockholders of the
Denver plants deny that they have
been sold, but that is not final, because
1t is customary for business men while
conducting negotiations of the magni-
tude of this one, to keep their own
council. The deal If concluded in
wolves more than a million dollars and
will make Denver the big stock center
of the West
The Combination known as the pack
ing trust is composed of the Nelson
Morris Company, the Armour Com
pany, Swift & Company, and Swartz-
child & Sulzberger. They have es-
tablished large plants at Chicago,
Omaha. Kansas City and st. Joseph.
1t is known that for good many years
they have been considering the advisa-
bility of getting a foothold in Denver,
because of the advantage offered as
a shipping point. At present the COM
panies ship stock the 500 miles be-
tween here and Missouri river points,
slaughter it and then ship the meat
back. They are thus compelled to
maintain double cold storage plants
as well as meeting the freight each
way.
Denver has two large packing es-
tablisments. The oldest is the Colo
RADIO Packing Company. established
some fifteen years ago, which has
gradually been growing until it has a
plant of considerable capacity. The
size of plant is estimated by its stor-
age capacity. This plant has ca
pacity of 300 cattle and 1900 hogs and
perhaps half as many sheep per day.
A conservative estimate puts the value
of the plant, with buildings and stock
on hand at $750,O0O. The large stock
holders are Henry Gebhard, Dennis
Sullivan, Alfred Buffers. j. A. Thatcher
and other local capitalists.
Several years ago the Western Pack
ing Company came into the field, or
ganized and built new from the ground
up. 1t was created by Colorado men
who thought they saw n field for an in
dependent company at this point.
They built a modern plant at a cost of
$75O,OO0 which has since increased.
Among those who put in their money
were Charles Boettcher, Col. d. C.
Dodge. Charles j. Hughes, Jr., and
others. That their judgment was cor
rect is proved by the fact that the
plant has made money.
The Western Packing Company has
capacity of 1000 hogs, 5000 cattle
and 1000 sheep. slaughtered and
stored per day. The plant consists
of two large buildings for slaughter
ing, cold storage plant five stories
in height. an expensive ice plant, fer
tilizing house, etc.
