The grand dukes of Russia are no
worse than the Rockelellers, the

and the dozen or more men Of that

dukes are accused of shaping the
administration Of the laws and
controlling the public utilities oil
Russia; and, conceding that they
are guilty of all that is charged, they
are still but poor prototypes of the
Rockefeller class of meE in this
country. Wealth is the product Of
labor, and nations wealth is the
product Of its millions of laborers.
and when few men scheme till

yesterday was even more complete

no break has been manifested in the

New York, Nov. II. - Ex-Governor
Odell and United States Senator De-
pew, as witnesses before the Arm
strong legislative insurance investiga-
ton committee, denied parts of the tes-
timony of James HaZen Hyde in which
their names We're used. Odell in the
course Of his testimony called Hyde's
statements base calumny" and when
he was asked whether he directly or In
directly had made threats to have the
charter of the Mercantile Trust COM
pany revoked his face flushed and
striking the arm of the witness chair
with his fist, he eNclaimed: "There is
no truth in that statement so help me
God"
No Political Pressure.
Odell was the first witness of the
day. He said no political pressure was
brought to bear in the settlement of
his suit against the Mercantile Trust
company, and that 1t was settled the
same as suits brought by others. He
that his claim was a just one, and that
any court would have awarded him
more than he received in the settle
ment. He knew of the Introduction of
the Amber bill, which it is said might
have affected the Mercantile Trust
company's charter, and while he did
not suggest its introduction he saw nc
objection to it.
Did Not Threaten Retaliation.
Odell denied that he ever made q
statement to Il. II. Hartman or any
one else that retaliatory measures
would be taken against the Mercantile
Trust company. The witness said ht
and Hartman We're personal friends
but that they had no business rela
lions. He wrote letter on behalf Of
Hyde's candidacy for the post of am
bassador to France. This was at thu
request of William II. Mcintyre, ont
of the vice presidents of the Equitabl,
Life Assurance society.

possible to make such an appointment.

Some time ago Mr.. Stead, the
noted English author, wrote what at
the time was considered an extremely
visionary story Of war between
France and Germany, which pro-
crossed up to the actual shock OF
battle. when it was brought to a
dramatic standstill by the refusal OF
the men of both armies to fire upon
each other. According to the story

In view Of the socialists inter

MUTUAL LIFE RErRENcHEs
McCurdy Asks Cut in His Salary Of
90 Per Cent.

McCurdy Asks Cut in His Salary of
90 Per Cent.
New York, Nov. 17.-At a special
meeting of the board of trustees of the
Mutual Life Insurance company in this
city, at which preliminary report of
the recently appointed special investi-
eating committee was submitted,
President Richard A. McCurdy caused
a stir by announcing that at his own
request his salary had been cut in half
from $4,000 to $75 600 year. This
action was taken at meeting of the
finance committee, and McCurdy said
was the first step i'll reducing the ex-
penses Of the company.
Salaries Of the other executive Off
GERS of the company also have been
reduced, the saving amounting in all
to between $4,000 and 100000 per
annum. McCurdys statement to the
directors preceded the submission Of
the investigating committees first re-
port. This committee, which was
named to examine into the affairs of
the company, made significant re-
quest for broadening Of its powers,
and recommended changes in practices
by the company (which on their very
face are loose, unseund and open to
criticism"
The committee recommended that
pending its further inquiry the exccu.
tive officers adopt Immediately a policy
OF retrenchment. The preliminary re.
port was adopted, together with the
resolution increasing the powers of the
committee in continuing its investiga.
tions. The directors ordered that full
publicity be given to the report, as
well as to the statement made by
President McCurdy.
President McCurdy, in his address
to the trustees, outlined a policy of
retrenchment the executive officers had
decided upon. He declared lie did not
know what was contained in the report
of the special investigating committee
and lie did not desire to forestall any.
thing the committee might do, for lie
would abide by It's decision.

an instant but opened such fire up
on the mob that it melted down like

Punishmnt,,

PUNISHMENT IS, or at least always
should be, administered for two
objects, the protection of society
and the reformation Of wrongdoers.
1t should never be inflicted for ven
geance. Juries convict when they
are reasonably we'll satisfied of the
guilt of the accused, and it is their
duty to do SO, but it does not follow
that all such verdicts are free from
doubt and uncertainty. And this is
especially true, when the verdict is
based in part upon the testimony.
of an .saccomplice, or a pretended
accomplice, whose want of character
is admitted. This much is said in
justification Of the well known ten
dency Of our Supreme Court to grant
new trials in criminal cases.
That court takes into consideration
the fact, that the defendent has sat
for days and sometimes for weeks
duringthe trial in the District Court
the object of obloquy and suspicion,
has felt the blow inflicted by the
jury's verdict, has suffered during the
long months Of uncertainty which
have interviewed between the perfect
ing of the appeal and the final deter
mination in the appellatecourt, and
then the judges add to all this the
possible innocence Of the defendent.
That is the condition the Court has
to deal with and it is not singular
that it sometimes searches for tech
nical excuses upon which to base a
reversal.
The man who prosecutes an app
peal to the court of last resort to
save himself and his family from
the disgrace OF a term in the pen
itentiary, will be very apt to be a
better man the remainder Of his
life, if punishment in states prison
is not inflicted. AT that stage OF
the prosecution at least half of the
object Of the Jaw has been accom-
plished. Thereafter, if the de-
PENDANT escapes the disgrace Of a
term in the penitentiary, it is quite
safe to say that he will strive very
hard to avoid everything which may
again place him in jeopardy. There
after he certainly has a better chance
in the world than the unfortunate
individual whose pride and self re
spect and opportunity of earning al
honest living have been strucl
down by the state as a punishment
for crime committed.
From an ethical standpoint ther,
is but one other question for con
sideration. Has the punishment
been sufficient to prevent others. a
far as punishment can, from tn
commission of olfenses similar t
the one with which the defendent i
charged? That opens a wide doc
for speculation. 1t is claimed tina
just as many sheep were stolen ii
England when the law imposed
death penalty for that crime, a
there wereafter the law was changed
and the punishment reduced to
small fine or few days mail.
When everything is considered
the Supreme Court is fully justified
in being more inclined to grant re
versals in criminal than in civil cases
