HINTS AT FEDERAL SUPERVISION.
Hughes Warns Witness That Missing Volume Must Be Produced-De- tails of Advances to Agents
 Caused Sensation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-George W
 Perkins, partner of J. P. Morgan S
 Co. and vice president of the New
 York Life Insurance company, detieG
 the legislative insurance committed
 when he declared he would not pro
 duce a certain book belonging to J. F
 Morgan & Co.
 He had testified that there was a memorandum of the famous nayiga. 1 tion bond transaction in 1903 between Perkins and Perkins whereby $SOO,OOO worth of securities were kept out of the New York Life's report to the state superintendent of insurance.
 You will please produce that book, MT. Perkins" said Attorney Hughes.
 You have copy of that memoran- dunn. Mir Hughes" snapped the young financier.
 You will bring that book here," de clared the attorney.
 "I'll bring copy of the memoran- dum."
 'T shall have to demand the produc- tion of that book" And Hughes glow cred angrily.
 You are talking about J. P. Morgan & Co. now. We'll, take this matter up later"
 The passage at arms ended with a warning by Mir. Hughes that the book would have to be produced.
 In the course of his testimony Mir. Perkins, questioned about the differ ence in the statement of profits from securities" in the Massachusetts report of the company and of met profits from securities" in the New York re- port, said:
 'When we get national supervision we won't have these conflicts between the different states"
 Mir. Perkins also testified to a num- Der of transactions in which he repre- sented Morgan & Go. as seller and the New York Life Insurance company as the purchaser.
 Another sensation was sprung later when Vice President Thomas A. Buck ner of the New York Life Insurance company detailed the advances made to agents and which were carried in the report to the state superintendent of insurance as committing renewal premiums" It was brought out as matter of fact that these advances were loans, but were not carried as such. Mir. Buckner testified that ad- vances were made to agents sometimes as Inducements to leave other compa nies and enter the employ of the New York Life.
 A situation of conflict in Buffalo in 1901 between the Equitable and the New York Life was brought out, and in order to get agents of the Equitable away from that company liberal ad- | vances and liberal contracts were made by the New York Life. Mir. | Buckner testified that these advances to agents in the Buffalo branch of the | New York Life in 1902 alone exceeded | by $4S,000 the amount really earned by | these agents. Later Mir. Buckner ac- knowledged this was most extravagant I and said in 1903 this was cut down by half and by still another half in 1904.

Fatal Row With Vim. p. Hall Shows.

During the performance given at
Bloomfield Wednesday of last week by
the VIM. p. Hall shows, Charles Junkin,
colored man, rushing to the assistance
of boy who was being i'll treated by a
member of the circus aggregation, was
shot in the left shoulder by Snowman
and as he fell second Snowman struck
him over the head with an iron bar.
His life is slowly ebbing away at hos
pital in Bloomfield. The Centerville
Daily Citizen says:
The trouble stal ted at the close of the
afternoon performance given by the
Hall circus at Bloomfield A party of
young men, residents Of Bloomfield. and
the country nearby, visited one Of the
side shows, where some Of them got
into an alteration with two of the en-
ployes. The latter attempted to put
the young men out of the tent, to which
the latter objected, claiming that they
had bought tickets and wished to see
the performance. A free-for-all fight
resulted, during which Alva Swift and
Will Becky, two Of the young men, We're
knocked down and beaten by showmen.
The fighting continued in front of the
tent, where Charles Lakewood, a spec
ial policeman, attempted to restore
order. He was struck by one of the
circus men and quite badly though not
seriously injured.
Junkin was standing nearby when the
trouble started and seeing the officer
and the other Bloomfield men were in
need OF help he attempted to take their
part. One of the circus employees rush
ed at him and fired revolver, the bull
let making flesh wound in Junsin's
shoulder. Though only slightly hurt he
fell and before he could defend himself
a second Snowman beat him over the
head with heavy iron bar, fracturing
the skull and inficting fatal injuries.
By this time crowd had collected al
the scene Of the fight and the circus
employees took to flight to save them
selves from arrest. Sheriff Wilkinson
was summoned and after search Of the
cars on the side tracks near the depo
he found the man who is accused o
having beaten Junkin with the iron bar
This prisoner was taken to the Jail ant
locked up. The man who did the shoot
ing can not be found but the officer
have description Of him and hope t
bring about his arrest soon.

ers and the circus management keeps no
record of the names of this class of en-
ployes.
The man for whom the officers are
hunting and who is accused of shooting
Junkin, is described as being nearly six
feet tall, weight about 200 pounds; wears
short medium brown mustache, small
straw hat, black trousers and no coat.
Junkin is known to every resident of
Bloomfield. He is unmarried about SO
years old and has good reputation as a
peacable and honest citizen.

Biz Payment of Pensions

During the fiscal year OF the govern
ment which ended June 30, the Des
Moines pension agency disbursed 81
87O.444.46 to the old soldiers or their
widows and army nurses. The pension
ers in Iowa alone received So,173, lS4.47,
and those in Nebraska $2,021, 3OO.4O. The
Des Moines pension agency also PAID
$675, 964.59 to pensioners in other states
and territories. There are now 54,7lO
pensioners on the rolls of the Des
Moines Office, which is in charge K. T.
Clarkson. This is a net gain of thirty
seven for the year, according to the re-
port which has just been completed.
There are eighteen pension agencies in
the United States and the Des Moines
Office now ranks about sixth in the
amount of payments to pensioners.
In addition to the civil war veterans,
who constitute nearly four-tifths OF the
pension-roll of the Des Moines office,
there are 1870 survivors of the Mexican
war, fourteen survivors of Indian wars,
and nineteen widows of the war of 1872
still drawing pensions from the govern
ment. The Spanish-American war has
placed 1913 invalid pensioners on the
roll of the Des Moines Office and 1ol
widows of veterans of the recent war
also draw pensions from this office. The
records of the Des Moines' agency also
show 40 army nurses drawing pensions.
During the last year there were added
to the roll Of the Des Moines agency
pensioners as follows: By original GER
tifcate, 2,10G; restoration certificates,
Is; renewal certificates, 116. On the
other hand, the loss by death was 1,S44,
and from other causes, 143; leaving a
net increase of only 81 pensioners. The
number given increased rate of pensions
during the year was $3.50.

will be of interest to the pensioners to
know that the quarterly payments at
this agency are made by rates; that is,
the vouchers when taken from the mail
are classified by rates and each rate ar
ranged alphabetically for charging the
payments on the rolls. This results in
the earlier payments Of the four lower
rates. In this way better time is made
for the entire payment and the largest
number accommodated first. Pensioners
receiving rates of which there are COM
paratively few on the roll, and those to
whom first payments under new certif-
Gates are due, are not reached until lat

Gently exhibited an amount of sense
and heroism that few older people
would be capable Of. She and her
father were alone one day in their home
and Mr.. hartmann was cutting wood.
His AK Slipped and he severed an artery
in his foot. His daughter had learned
how to apply a tourniquet at school,
but Mr.. Barkmann was so fleshy that
she could not twist bandage tight
enough to stop the flow Of blood. The
patient could give her no help, as he
had tainted, but she thought of another
plan and quickly executed it. Cutting
off the shoe and stocking and trousers
to the knee, she set the foot into a
twelve-gallon stone jar on about three
inches Of flour. Then she filled the jar
with flour and pressed it down with a
stick Of firewood. The bleeding stopped
at once, for the blood could not pene-
trate the flour. 1t was four hours
before doctor could be secured.
When he arrived he said that Mr.. Bart
mann would have bled to death in a
short time if it had not been for his
daughters presence Of mind.

Scientific turkey Raising.

Only recently has science turned its atten
ton to The Thanksgiving bird, but already Il
has accomplished some wonderful things in
the culture and improvement of that admir-
able fowl. which, 10 the opinion Of many has
a better claim than the badheaded eagle to
figure as the national emblem, says the Boston
Herald.
On Fishers Island, opposite New London,
and not far distant, IS the greatest and most
successful turkey farm in TIE World. the
island, one might say, is an artificial wider
ness of 1000 acres, scientifically managed.
Over this area thousands Of the birds roam in
a condition so close to that Of nature thai
thought domestieated variety they are prac
tically wild. No shelters Of any kind are
provided for them; The hen turkeys build their
nests in the open, and, while plenty OF corn
is supplied. 1t Is scattered about in all sorts of
places aud even buried under leaves in order
that the birds may be obliged 10 hustle for
their provender.
These turkeys attain gigantic size, some
times reaching a weight of nearly fifty pounds.
In the market al Thanksgiving time they reach
10 cents pound more than ordinary turkeys,
owing to their remarkably delicious flavor
They are so hardy that nothing short Of a
Ratchet will kill them. 10 winter they roost
out on fence rails and tree branches, and,
though often their heads are actually frozen
under their wings, their health does not suffer
in the least The delieacy Of constitution

hard to rear, does not bother the birds Of
