government an immense sllm-it. has
been estimated by some as high as
100000 annually. Many government
officials prepare rough drafts of reports
which they send to the big printery
with requests for a proof. The proof
is corrected, revised and in many cases
half rewritten. When returned to the
printing office the changes in the copy
are so many that the whole thing is
reset in type. Sometimes this process
is repeated two or three times. One
remedy suggested for this state Of af-
fairs is that there shall be an editing
in each of the executive de-
partments. whose duty it will be to
see to it that copy furnished the gov

that it will not have to be corrected in
proof so much that the type will have

MORE SENSATIONS TODAY
Treasurer of the Mutual Life Tells
How He Made Profit for Himself
of $26,371 by the company's syndi-
cate Bond operations--New York
Life Transactions Barred.

New York, Sept. 13.--At this after
noon's session of the legislative insur-
ance investigation committee, Freder
ick Cromwell, treasurer Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, testified he
had made a personal profit of $26,371
during the past five years from syndi-
cate operations In which he personally
and the Mutual Life had participated.
New York, Sept. 13.-Frederick H.
Shipman, assistant treasurer of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
was the first witness before the leg
islative insurance investigation COM
mittee today. How could the New
York Life" asked Mr.. Hughes, coun-
sci for the committee, ''retire the To-
ronto, Hamilton and Buffalo bonds
bought them while in the syndicate
at 91?" Because the market price in
the opinion of C. NJ Gibbs, treasurer
at the time, was then 80, we credited
a profit of $44.9S6 to profit and loans."
Shipnan said the company raised the
price from 81 to 80, but that the pro-
fit had never been realized, and the
company holds the bonds at the pre-
sent time. The company In this case
did not return the bonds, as is GUS
tomary, to syndicate managers, but
took them themselves and credited on
the books as profit, which in fact had
not been made.
In reply to questions concerning sew
eral point accounts created in order to
invest in railroad bonds with an agree
ment for an, equal division OF the prof
its, Shipman said the only way he
could explain why the company
bought and sold bonds on the same
day was that the company held bonds
and wished to sell them. Therefore, it
named a fair price and transferred
them to the joint account. He said it
was fair to say the company enters
into an agreement with others, provides
the money for the purchase of the
bonds, then gives the members of the
syndicate profits of the sale. The
New York Life, he said, pays half Of
the profits to bankers to get them to
handle the syndicates, believing it adj
visable to do SO in order to get the
business.

A ROOSEVELT ROAST

The President Denies Alleged Inter.
view in Paris Paper and Then Takes
skinning Knife to the Lying Corr
respondent.
Oyster Bay, Sept. 13.-President
Roosevelt has denounced as a fabrica-
tion, and as wholly without foundation
in truth, the report of an Interview
with. him regarding terms of peace
between Russia and Japan, published
TODAY in Petit Parisien, of Paris, and
cabled to America and published here
this morning. AS soon as the purport-
ed Interview was called to his atten-
ton the president directed Secretary
Loeb to send to the correspondent of
Petit Parisien, who was received at
Sycamore HILL, the following telegram:
"Oysrer Bay, N. Y.-Gaston Rich
ard, Hotel Lafayette, New York: The
President directs me to say to you
that the alleged Interview with him
published in this mornings papers is
not only an absolute fabrication, wholly
without basis of truth, but that your
conduct in obtaining permission to see
him under false pretenses is thorough :
ly dishonorable. When you came to
see the president you informed him
you were the grandson of Marshal
Augerau; that you had been fat the
battle Of Mukden with the Russian
army. and with the Japanese army
afterwards; that you understood thor
oughly you could have no interview
Of any kind, and that you simply
wished to pay respect to him. Under
these circumstances the president re-
ceived you and listened to your ac-
count of your experiences with the
Japanese and Russians, and spoke to
YOU also of the deeds Of Marshal Au-
gereau and Of the Napoleons and
other generals. The. president had no
conversation with you about the terms
of peace and your account of your all
legged interview with him is fabrica-
ton from beginning to end, without
any foundation in fact and both your
untruthfu,ness and your obtaining
permission to see him under false pre-
lenses the president considers simply
dishonorable.
