INSURANCE SENSATION
PRESIDENTS WIFE MIXED UP IN
SPECULATION.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. April 13.--The most
sensational feature of today's examination
of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company by the special legislative investf-
eating committee was the production of
documentary evidence tending to show that
Mrs. Henry L. Palmer, wife of the president
Of the company. was frequent investor in
loans on policies of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, and that on
one of these loans negotiated in 1889. but
still running in 1905. she obtained per cent
interest.
During portion of the time Mrs. Palmer
was obtaining this interest rate policy Ioaus
were being made by the company Itself at
per cent. An admission by President
Palmer. showing how firmly the officers OF
the company controlled It's elections. was
to the effect that all nominations for trus-
tees made by the agents association were
passed upon by the board of trustees be-
fore the election.
Trustees who were UP for reelection were
present at the meetings where their own
qualifications were passed upon. AS mat
ter OF fact. however, Mr.. Palmer declared,
no nomination of the agents of trustee
had ever been rejected.

Price Of Structural Steel.

Additional testimony regarding the price
Of ship structural steel in the domestic and
foreign markets was given by Francis T.
Bowles Of the Fore River Ship Building
Company. Mr.. Bowles said that English
steel delivered In English shipyards was
from Is to 20 per cent cheaper than Eng
lish steel delivered In American yards, and
that there was no difference In this country
between the price OF English and American
steal.
Many reasons were recited by Mr.. Bowles
why the United States should. adopt some
policy which would rehabilitate it's merchant
marine. At present 1t was depending on
English and German ships to carry its COM
inerce. In case Of war between these two
nations this commerce would be left with
out means of transportation. IN case Of war
between the United States and a foreign
nation this same situation would result, and
the United States would be at still greater
disadvantage by not having merchantmen
to press into the service az auxfharies.
The navy today. he said. had not men
enough to man fits ships. Whenever a new
ship was put in commission 1t was manned
by placing out of commission some older
ship.
AS a pure matter OF business and as
practical insurance to our foreign trade the
government should aid its merchant marine.

When the House committee on merchant
marine and fisheries met today TO continue
the hearings on the ship subsidy bill II lis
tened first to a letter from Albert Winsor,
president of the Boston Steamship Com
pany, which operates five steamships be-
tween the Pacific coast and Japan. Mr..
Winsor informed the committee that IN
less the subsidy bill is passed these ships
will be put out of commission and the
route abandoned. AS 1t Is, he said. the
company Is operating at loss. being in
direct competition with three British ships
operating from Vancouver and receiving a
subsidy of s291 COO 1t is also in direct
competition with three Japanese ships re-
ceiving subsidies of $4,000 per annum.
The amount the Boston ships receive Is
$1,000 for carrying the mails The let

is passed the line will be enlarged

them In salute. Then, sheathing them
again, they rode forward In silence and
soon were lost to sight.
Little did Rosamund guess how diff.
ferent they would appear when they
three met again. Indeed, she scarcely

Oh, she was great. Gold was hers,
