that the worthy old document "the

duty to keep his hands off the affairs

GERMANY'S BEEF QUESTION
Butchers Want Free Cattle and Farm
ers Ask Protection Prices Are
Out of Sight.

Berlin, Sept S.--The price of cat
tie on the foot today is 14A cents per
pound aviordupois and live hogs IA
cents per pound. 1t is these prices
that caused the master butchers of Ger
many to petition the government to adj
nit live animals free of duty. The
agitation against the meat exclusion
act has now gone on for two years
with increasing force as the prices of
meat have gone up slowly and stead
lily regardless of the leSsening of con-
sumption per head and the country's
population increasing three quarters of
a million annually.
The farmers SO far have been unable
to correspondingly increase the number
of food animals raised. They affirm
through the agricultural conventions,
lanlords' associations and the Agrar-
ian party press that Germany can and
will, and in fact does, produce a suf-
ficiency Of meat; that encouragement
of the farmers is necessary to
symmetrical economic system, and
that to admit animals and meat free
of duty now would ruin the farmers.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

A writer in New York fashion
magazine pleads for the good old
days when simplicity reigned and
blanket9took the place of trousers
and boiled shirt He is one Of
those fellows who think that a
Greek costume means true happi-
ness. Every little while somebody
starts crusade to force men into
X lee breeches, or smalls, which
would be pretty tough on our bow
legged men. What nonsense. The
good old days are a myth. The
Greeks looked as sloppy as a reserv-
alton Indian, and the fashions of
the so-called good old days were
generally founded on the fool ideas
of some crack Drained monarch. At
one time the most fashionable collar
was CALLED ID 'Isbeau," or the Isa-
bella. There is a story connected
with that. Isabella, daughter of
Philiph H., vowed not to change
her linen until Ostend was taken.
The siege lasted three years which
was rather tough on the lady, and
the linen became very dingy. But
it gave rise to this fashionable color.
The fashion of wearing the hair
short became the correct thing be-
cause Francis I. had to have his
hair cropped owing to wound.
The decollette gown was first worn
10y Isabella of Bavaria who had
neck and shoulders that we're worth
going to see. She was so proud. of
them that she had to parade them.
In the time of Charles V. short and
tight trousers became so much the
rage that the government of France
banished them 10y edict Never
sigh for the good old days. Modern
times are saner, healthier and bet
ter in every way. We are, slaves
of fashion, but our slavery is mixed
with common sense, which is good
for us all.

EQUITABLE STOCK is HIGH
Regain Bought the Hyde Block at
$4,000 Share.

William Alexander, brother of the
ex-president of the Equitable Life, tes-
titled that the naturalization of the
Equitable had been prevented by the
suit brought by Francis e. Lord a
stakeholder. On the subject of former
Drices of Equitable stock Alexander
said it had sold at $1,000 a share fif-
teen years ago Recently Marcellus
Hartley Dodge had told him he had
purchased four shares at more than
$4,000 each. The Hyde stock was sold
to Ryan at approximately $1,000 a
share.
Questions regarding the relation of
the Mutual Life Insurance company to
the Guarantee Trust company were
asked of Frederick Cromwell, treas
urer of the Mutual. He said that
every member of the finance commit
tee of the Mutual, with the possible
exception of Granniss, was a stock
holder in this trust company. Crom-
we'll quoted transaction in which the
Mutual had purchased several millions
Of Cuban bonds, while the Guarantee
Trust company had bought $1,OOO,O0O
worth. Asked why the Mutual did
not purchase all the bonds itself Crom-
well replied that the insurance COM
pany did not wish to assume all the
responsibility of possible loss.
Frederick Cromwell, was recalled.
He explained that in a syndicate in
which the Mutual Life was concerned
the insurance company got all the
profit. If any member of the finance
committee went into it privately it was
through some banking house and not
through the Mutual. Mr.. Cromwell
explained that on all the stock the
Mutual held it had profit of So ,OO0.-
600. and that its trust company stock
formed a very large proportion of this.
"Would it be fair to assume that
syndicate transactions are gotten up
for the benefit of the managers?" the
witness was asked. without any
question" he replied.
.You don't think that after using
your best judgment on investments
for the Mutual Life, in syndicate trans
actions, there is any improperly in
your making money out of the same
transactions" NO"
Cromwell said he was a member of
the syndicate which handled the Jap
anese bonds. The Mutual was buying
bonds from the syndicate, and in the
transaction in which Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., acted as promoters, he acknowl-
edged having bought fifty bonds him
self and as far as he knew other
members of the finance committee of
the Mutual Life bought individual
holdings and received individually
their share of the profit made by sell
ing the bonds to the Mutual.
