By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2s-George w
Perkins, member of the firm of j. P
Morgan & Co., and formerly vice pres
ident of the New York Life Insurance
company, was technically placed under
arrest today in the proceedings which
District Attorney Jerome has begun to
test the legality of political contribu-
tions by insurance companies.
The warrant was issued upon in
formation presented to Police Magis-
trate Moss and the allegation upon
which it was based was the transfer of
S4S, 702 of the funds of the insurance
company to Cornelius N. Bliss treas
urer of the Republican national COM
mittee in 1901.
1t is charged that Mr.. Perkins re-
ceived the money from the insurance
company and paid it over to Mr.. Bliss.
Immediately upon his arrest, Mr. Per-
kins. through mis- counsel, Lewis A.
Delafield, secured writ of habeas
corpus from Justice Greenbaum of the
supreme court by which Mr.. Perkins
was released from custody and the case
was taken directly to the supreme
court Argument on this writ was adj
journed until Friday next.

Mr. Perkins was taken into custody
while in the office of his attorney by
detectives from the office of District
Attorney Jerome. He did not appear
before Police Magistrate Moss. who
had issued the warrant, but went di-
rectly before Justice Greenbaum.
There the district attorney recited
the legal steps that had been taken but
old not go into the charges against
Mr.. Perkins. Mr.. Delafield. however.
declared that the offense charged
against Mr.. Perkins was purely techni-
cal and asked for a postponement of
the case.
He said that the payment by Mr.. Per-
kins had been authorized by John A.
Mccall, former president of the New
York Life.
The arrest of Mr.. Perkins and the
subsequent issuance of the writ of
habeas corpus will have the effect of
having the highest courts of the state
pass upon the legality of campaign
contributions by insurance companies,

Judge Trask in department of the
superior court to grant her an inter-
locutory decree of divorce from Newton
Brown, her husband who at present is

ital difficulties to tell the court, but
foremost in her complaint she set
forth the allegation that her husband,
Newton Brown, former deputy sheriff

tone Swenson, a Los Angeles architect,
three years ago.
Swenson was one of the best known
contractors in the west and many of
the big buildings of Los Angeles and
San Francisco were built by him. He
built the Third street tunnel in Los
Angeles.

sessed of valuable Information regard
ing certain wealthy mines in Mexico
and he sent small party into the wilds
of Sonora state to make good the claims
for him. One of his men was Newt
November of 1902.
A month later Swenson started for
Mexico and was met at the border by
Brown and the two started for the
mountains, accompanied by guide.
Rifle Victim
Three days after their departure for
the hills report was received from a
native that Swenson had been killed by
the accidental discharge of one of the
rifles.

Angeles organized an investigating
committee and with a number of attor-
neys they went to Sonora state aid
probed into the affair.
Through evidence furnished by the
guide it was learned that Swenson and
Brown had engaged in fight in the
mountains and that while struggling
a revolver had been discharged and
SWenson was killed.
Brown was tried on a charge of in
voluntary homicide and was sentenced
to sixteen months Imprisonment in
Mexican Jail.
Browns sixteen months incarcera-
ton was contained in the time set forth
by his wife in the desertion clause, and
the case was continued for further
hearing, as it was necessary to prove
