HamiIton'S Tax Rakeon.

On October IS, 1904, the court of appeals
handed down a decision under which the
New York Life Insurance company was
allowed a tax credit of S272 703. This could
not be drawn in cash, but portions of il
were assigned to nine other companies for
$50, 1856
That sum was collected by or for Hamil-
ton" reports the committee, "and has been
retained by him without any entry thereof
in the books of the company"
The committee sets forth that this was
explained by the fact that Mr.. Mccall
had made an arrangement that Hamilton
was TO have one-third of the tax savings
under the legal proceeding This arrange
ment the committee characterizes as inn
provident and suggests that Hamilton
should he called upon to establish his legal
right to retain the SaO,3Ss.
Your committee having been informed
that Hamilton was physically able Ia
travel. has exerted every effort TO induce
him to return to make a full disclosure
Of his transactions, but without success
Your committee recommends that the
law department he instructed to commence
appropriate legal proceedings to carry into
effect the findings and conclusions of this

The committee states In beginning its re-
port that it has made. with the
loyal and efficient aid of the COM
pany's officers, thorough and exhaustive
examinations Of the relations with Alexan-
der Hamilton and of payments of money
to him. For none of these payments. the
committee states is there any receipt or
voucher than that given by Hamilton, and
there is no evidence from which the COM
mittee or the officers OF the company can
state to whom or on what occasion, or for
what specific purpose, the sums received
by Hamilton were paid out by him. The
average annual sum OF $1,000 was paid to
Hamilton from the years 1896 TO 1905 In
elusive Whether this was an unreasonable
excessive sum the committee has no means
OF determining. The generalities OF Ham
iltons Paris statement furnish no aid in
forming a conclusion on the subject. 1t Is
a fact, the report continues, that measures
OF legislation are proposed every year In
various states, which, II enacted, would be
Injurious and oppressive to life insurance
companies and their policy holders. The
expense Of obtaining information about
these measures and OF employing counsel
or insurance experts to oppose them, or
secure proper amendments, is obviously
necessary and legitimate expenditure. 1t
may be that the great bulk of the sum an
nually disbursed by Hamilton was used for
these legitimate purposes. The committee
has no Information that any of IT was put
to illegitimate uses. But the fact that there
is no information In the records of the COM
pany showing to whom the money was paid
nor for what purpose, the report declares.
condones the methods and system which
have been in vogue during the last ten
years For every dollar paid out there
should be a voucher showing to whom II
was paid and for what purpose.

ments I'm irregular
Manner.

mittee appointed by the trustees of the
New York life Insurance company TO
Investigate the AFFAIRS of the company to-
day made a partial report OF its labors
to the directors. This report deals only
with the relations of Andrew Hamilton,
the legislative agent. with the company
and is a severe arraignment OF his methods.
John A. Mccall, late president Of the
New York Life also comes in for a share
Of the committees criticism. He is blamed
for his methods in connection with the
bureau of taxation and legislation during
the last ten years. and for allowing Hamil-
ton to pay out vast sums without proper
accounting. Special attention is called to
remttances of $4,000 to Mccall in London
and S134,5OO to Hamilton in Paris in 1900
The purposes of these remittances. the
committee says it has been unable to
ascertain, and recommends that proceed
ings be instituted against Hamilton and
Mccall for an accounting or repayment
The committee adds on this point that
application has been made to Mr.. Mccall
for information regarding the transactions
but that It is informed by Mr.. McCall's
family that his physical and nervous condi-
ton is such that the subject cannot DO
taken up at present. AS to Mr.. Hamilton's
health, which has been represented as being
bad, the committee says It has been in
formed that he was physically able to
travel and has exerted every effort to
induce him to return to make a full dis
closure of his payments, disbursements and
transactions, but without success.

want Money Refunded.

The committee also holds both Mccall
and Hamilton responsible for $4,000 ad-
vanced to Hamilton to pay the state tax
and which the committee declares was used
by Hamilton for his own purposes. The
committee is advised that both are liable
for this sum. The committee maintains
also that It is a matter for legal adjudica-
ton as to whether George w. Perkins of
the firm of J. p. Morgan & Co. is not
liable for the payments of Hamilton's notes
for $3.50 Mr.. Perkins paid this account,
the committee holds, out of the New York
Life Insurance company's share of profits
in its participation in a United States Steel
corporation syndicate. The committee holds
also that the payment of these notes by
the company was unwarranted. II is only
just to Mr.. Perkins to say. the report
adds, that he acted in the matter in entire
good faith, that he derived no benefit from
the transaction and that his liability, if
any. is a technical one.
The committee recommends that the law
department of the company institute APP
propriate legal proceedings to carry into
effect the findings and conclusions of this
report.
The report is signed by T. P. Fowler.

Death OF Johnnie C. Morris.

On Monday, the oath of September,
the angel of death Visited the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Morris, at Clear Pond,
and took on it's wings the spirit Of their
middle son Johnnie. He was taken with
hemorrhage on Sunday and lived just
twenty-fv hours. All that loving hands
and medical skill could do was done, but
the Father knew best and took him for
his own. He was just entering the
broad pathway which opens to manhood,
being nearly seventeen years old, which
makes it extremely sad; but then, his
mission here was spent, and we hope
that his sorrowing ones will clearly dis
ceru that he works in so many mysteri-
ous ways. he was not member of any
church, but had given himself to God,
and died praying the prayers that Christ
ians utter.
He was still school boy and the exer-
cises at Clear Pond school were sus-
pended two days while his body lay in
state. He leaves father, mother, three
sisters and four brothers to mourn bis
death.
His remains we're inferred at Bethesda
Baptist cemetery on Wednesday morn
