JUDGE MAKES NEW RULING
Decides Donations for Political Pur-
poses by Life Insurance Of
hciaIs IL Larceny.

NEW YORK, March eff the grand jury
which is investigating some Of the condi-
tions developed by the recent legislative in
vestigation reaches the conclusion that con-
tributions of insurance company funds \
political campaign committees were ~ -
with intent to dorpive or to defF ,c
true owner of his property, It ms find
that larceny was committed. This opinion
was expressed today by Justice O'Sulllvan
In the court of general sessions in answer
to presentment submitted to him by the
grand Jurors. Judge OSullivan added that
II is not within the province of the court
to say whether or not there was intent.
That is a question which the Jurors must
determine for themselves from the facts
and circumstances In the case lie charged
the jury to make a thorough investigation
into all the fact and TO place the response
bility for such crimes ii they ind that
crimes were committed.
This opinion Is in effect directly opposite
to one upon the same subject which was
given by District Attorney Jerome several
days ago. Mr.. Jerome in his brief, which
was submitted to Justice O'Sullivan, held
that there was no ground for prosecution OF
any insurance official i'm connection with
the campaign contributions, taking the
ground that no intention to defraud had
been shown Judge O'Sullvan agreed with
the contention Of the district attorney that
intent must have been present to constitute
the crime of larceny but declares the ques-
ton Of whether or not there was intent
is yet 10 be determined.
Mr. Jerome was in court today and when
Judge OSullivan had delivered his opinion
the district attorney asked the grand jury
to remain as he desired to address them
upon the subject He declared that Judge
O'Sullivan had misconstrued the subject
which he had considered and that IL the
court held to its opinion it would he the
duty of tho grand jury oreturn indict-
mcnts against George w Perkins. former
vice president Of the New York Life In.
surance company, for larceny, and George
h. Corteyou. chairman, and Cornelius y
Bliss, treasurer Of the republican natioan
committee, as receivers of stolen goods. Mr.
Jerome Informed Judge OSullivan that II
he would sit as a magistrate he would sub.
NIT affidavts to the acts committed by
George w. Perkins and would ask for d
warrant for his arrest eli added that il
event OF such warrant being issued a wri
of habeas corpus would follow and that tn,
cause would be taken to the highest courts
where the district attorney would retail
Alton b. Parker as special counsel. Judg,
OSullvan declined to grant the warran
giving as his reason that the question a
issue should be passed upon by tho granC

from Albany to Schenectady. Upon
his retirement from congress he re-
moved to New York and entered Wall

By disposing of these investments as

CONCERN

Eilers Piano House sell over so per
cent OF the pianos and organs on Pa
cific coast. Local branch house busy
institution.

ity realize the magnitude Of the noted
Eilers Piano House. This company is
incorporated with a paid up capital Of
$250,000 and operates in all the Pacific
coast states. In every city where they
are repre- scented they are recognized as
the leading dealers. The principal
stores are located in San Francisco,
Seattle, Boise and Lewiston.
There Is not another Arm in the west
that buy and sell nearly as many pi-
amos each year. For this reason the
eastern factories all want their BUSH
ness. and Eilers Piano House has
practically a choice OF the leading
makes Of pianos. Included in the some
80 makes which they handle are found
such time honored pianos as the
Chickering & Sons. Weber. Hazelton,
Steck, Kimball, Pease, Story & Clark

no more substantial institution than
the local branch store Of Eilers Piano
House. From this store the Eilers
Company supply the entire Northern
Idaho country and a part Of Eastern
Washington. Over thousand instru-
ments have already been sold from
this store. Prices and terms at the
local house are the same as in Port
land or San Francisco. and a large
well assorted stock is always on ex-
hibition.

Wore Ten Dollar Clothss.

Mr.. Sage's great reputation was that
or an economizer. He often declared
that ten dollars was enough for any
man to pay for a suit of clothes and
that a 50-cent straw hat should be
worn at least two seasons. And he rea
Hgiously practiced what he preached.
He never smoked, and his only stimu-
liant in recent years was a thimbleful
of whisky just before retiring. He had
but one great hobby-to own and
drive fast roadsters. When his wife
and physician persuaded him, after
his serious illness in 1905, to gradually
relinquish the active management of
his business, ne could be seen every
afternoon, save Sunday, driving be-
hind a handsome pair of horses in
Central Park. The past few years he
resided on Fifth avenue opposite st.
Patrick's cathedral. Previous to that
he had lived for many years in an or
binary brown stone front mansion on
the avenue just above Forty second
street.
For years Mr.. Sage's office looked
out into Trinity churchyard, at the
corner of Broadway and Rector street.
After the attempt to blow him to
pieces with dynamite In this office some
fifteen years ago, Mr.. Sage removed
his office to No. "a Nassau street.
Up to the time when he was fast
approaching his ninetieth year Mr..
Sage kept in the harness. All the
stores told about his taking no vaca-
ton. having no days off," working on
holidays as on business days, were
true.
