SIX PIGEONS FOR AUTO.
George Burghart Trades His HorseIess
vehicle for Fowls.

! Six pigeons which are on exhibition at
the Kansas State Poultry show were
traded off to George Burghart for an
automobile. The pigeons are valued at
over $50 a piece. This seems a whole
lot to pay for pigeon. But there are
other pigeons, quite a number in fact
which are valued at every bit as high a
figure and some slightly in excess.

MONEY DID IT.
How Bills Objectionable to Insurance
Companies Were Killed.

Philadelphia, Jan. Samuel r.
Shipley, retiring president -0f-the
Provident Life & Trust company Of
Philadelphia. in speal zihg today of the
rumOrs emanating from New York.
about the maner in which the affairs
of the Provident company have been
conducted, admitted that the company
had employed counsel to have un-
favorable bills killed.
Mr.. Shipley said. ''The PrOvident
Life & Trust company paid last year
to Marlin p. 0mstead. one of the lead
ers of the Harrisburg bar and United
states congressman, $500 for using
his influence to have two uufaVOrable
insurance bills buried in committees.
1T also has paid for a number of years
a salary of $4,000 outside of his regu-
lar commissions to William NJ. Scott,
one of its agents, for staying in Harris
burg while the Legislature has been in
session, looking out for Bills that might
affect the company and having them
killed.
Last year two bills came up in the
legislature which we recognized as I'M
favorable to the interests of our com
pany. one concerned the right of
policy holders to vote and the other
bill declared that insurance companies
should not be permitted to invest their
funds i'm the stock or bonds of any cor
poratiou whose stock or bonds might
be held by another officer of insurance
company.
AtlE DlAA vas tFGllAiiEdl QIaWH up
so I thought it best to have a lawyer
look after this bill.
II went to Mr.. Olmstead and told
him about IT. ] said, You have infiu-
ence with the legislators and I thought
you might be able to convince them
these bills are unfair
MIR. Olmstead said, you wish to re-
tain me them and L told him I did.
Nothing more was said until the leg
islature adjourned In the meantime
the bills died i'm committee. Mr. Ohm
stead sent me his bill for $500. The
company paid it and that ended the
matter"
Mr.. Shipley declared this action was
taken solely for the benefit of the pol
icyholders in the ProVident company
and that not cent of money had been
paid to legislators.
Mr.. Olmstead and Mr.. Scott are gen.
flemen Of the highest integrity he
said. at was known to them that this
company would rot tolerate the nay
ment of single S. bin to a legislator
and I am sure that what they did was
entirely above board and legitimate"
