The Chicago Tribune of October 20,
publishes the following:
NEW YORK, October 22.-Now that
each of the three big life insurance
companies has had a turn on the in
quisitorial spit, it is expected that
counsel for the Armstrong committee
soon will direct attention to the lesser
corporations.
The Prudential, owned and operated
in New Jersey may in a measure es-
cape the deep probings of Inquisitor
Hughes, yet, as it has many policy
holders in New York state, it is likely
that President Dryden, who also is
United States Senator, may see the
advsability of being frank with the
committee.
The Prudential is not a mutual con-
Germ, but a stock company with $1,000
900 capital. The total amount of cash
paid in for this stock was $91 900. The
rest was distributed in the form Of
bonuses and profits. As in the Equit-
able, the policy holders have no rights
of participation.
Originally the Prudential stock was
scattered in small lots among num-
Der of New Jersey people. Today
1899 $50 of the $2,0O00OO is owned by
the Fidelity Trust Company of Newark
which i'm turn is owned and controlled
by the Prudential company and trio
of families. This scheme of each own
ing the other is the most remarkable
example of financiering the insurance
world yet has offered.
The Prudential Insurance Company
was organized by Mr.. Dryden in 1876
to do an industrial insurance business
and issue small policies on weekly pay
ment premiums. 1t was modelled after
the Prudential Company of London,
which has an enormous number of
policy holders.
Mr.. Dryden's company today has
more than 100000 policies outstanding
mostly held by poor people, who con-
tribute from % cents a week upward
The company also has a department of
regular insurance like those of the New
York companies, but these policies
number only $4,000, as compared with
8, 966 ,673 Industrial policies.
Three great corporations of Newark
are so linked together that their rela-
lions are an amazing tangle. Yet the
life blood of them all is the stream of
20 cents a week contributions from the
5,966,679 poor policy holders of the Pru-
Dental, who pour in their savings from
every part of the United States,
These corporations are the Pruden-
tial, the Fidelity Trust Company,
through which financial operations are
transacted, and the Public Service cor
poration, backed by Prudential funds
which has absorbed nearly all Of the
street railways gas, electric, and wa
! ter companies of New. There is a
fourth adjunct, the Union National
bank of Newark, which gets insurance
funds on deposit and makes large pro-
fits from regular banking favors of the
corporation trio.
The Prudential Insurance Company
owns $3.50 900 of the Fidelity Trust
! company's 81 100000 stock and $6,4S3 900
of the Public Service corporation Sc
curities. Likewise 1T holds collateral
for loans on $4,000, 900 more of the Pub
lie Service corporation securities, maxi
ing a total of s94S5,OOO of that COM
pany's bonds and stock in the vaults
Likewise, the Prudential owns $3.50 ,00C
of the Union National banks 81 500, 600
capital stock and has loaned $4,000 on
$685. par value Of the stock.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-10

The Fidelity Trust company owns
1898, $50 of the Prudentnal's $2,OOO0OO
capital stock and $4,77O,77O of the Pub
lie Service corporation stocks and
bonds. The holdings of the trust COM
pany in the Union National Bank and
the holdings of the bank in the other
companies do not appear in the re-
ports
The total amount of collateral loans
of the Prudential on December 81 last
was $5655,1OO secured by $7,O37, 200 in
par value stocks and bonds of various
kinds. Nearly one-half of the securi-
ties so held are those of underlying
companies composing the Public Service
corporation, and loans made upon
them, with other securities of lesser
amount grouped with them, aggregate
SO, 4S5, 100. With the additional loans
upon the Union National bank stock it
becomes evident that two-thirds of the
total collateral loans made by the Pru-
Dental are secured chiefly by the
stocks and bonds of its own subsidiary
and allied corporations.
The most amazing part of this inter-
woven tangle of finance is the recipro-
cal ownership of the insurance COM
pany and trust company which, des-
pite court injunctiOns has been car
ried out in spirit if not in complete
transfer. The game was begun in
1902. At that time the insurance COM
pany had a relatively small holding in
the trust company stock and the lat
ter had none of the insurance stock.
Ta(ra TOW,
families held the controlling interest
in both. The game was to sell out
one to the other reap the profits, and
still maintain their absolute control.
Thereupon the following plan was
proposed: The trust company should
double its capital stock and the insur-
ance company should purchase a large
block of new stock at SIS per share
the sum so to be expended being nearly
$6,0O0000. With the money so receiv-
ed the trio in the controlling trust COM
pany would purchase from themselves
most of the insurance company stock
which they held, thus landing $6,OOO,0OO
of the policy holders money in their
own pockets.
This still would leave them in prac-
teal control of the trust company and,
through it, the insurance company al
though having sold out their holdings
i'm the latter. 1t was a neatly devised
scheme, evading the fundamental law
that no insurance company can buy in
its own capital stock with policy hold
ers' money. In one of the suits brought
by the indignant policy holders, Presi-
dent Dryden explained that the move
was intended to keep the stock out of
the hands of spectators. This ex-
PLANTATION satisfied the court and the
suits were dismissed.
The personality of the coterie of men
who now control New Jersey and their
sudden rise. to wealth rivals in interest
the revelations recently made concern
ing the McCurdy and Mccall families
of New York. The New Jersey mag
mates have risen more quickly and
seized more objects for their profits.
They extort tribute in many ways
from the average man of family liv-
ing in Newark, Jersey City, Paterson
and many northern cities of the state
The cent fare for street car ride
goes to them, for they own all the trac-
ton lines; the monthly gas bill and the
annual water tax goes into Their
