The Arrest of Perkins.

Mr.. Jerome and Judge O'Sullivan are
working at cross purposes in the insur-
ance investigation. Sullivan. of course,
is directing the grand jury inquiry, while
Mr.. Jerome has started proceedings be-
fore a magistrate.
George w Perkins, formerly vice-pres-
ident of the New York Life, who testified
before the Armstrong committee that he
paid to the republican national commit
tee $4,000 for his company is the defend
ant selected by Mr. Jerome for his test
case. The arrest of Perkins was purely
technical. He got out a writ of habeas
corpus and was at once released In GUS
tody of his counsel The case will reach
the appellate division of the supreme
court within a week. Perkins puts the
blame. II there is any, for his act, on
poor John A. Mccall. He says the late
president directed him to make the pay
ment out of his own funds and re-
imbursed him out of the company's treas
ury. Later the finance committee APP
proved the contribution. If he is guilty.
Perkins contends. that each member of
that committee is in the same predica-
ment.

Ask ninety men out of a hundred II IL
Is a crime for the officers of an insurance
company to contribute the companys
money to a political campaign fund with
out the consent of the policy holders and
his answer will be Yes" Consequently
when District Attorney Jerome told the
grand Jury which Is investigating the in
surance cases that such contributions
we're not a crime unless evil intent was
proved 1t created a stir here and, in fact
all over the country. for the interest in
insurance affairs at present is world wide.
The question is plainly this
I'm making out of the funds of the
company contributions to the political eX-
pense of the republican presidential cam
paign did the officers of the insurance
companies commit the crime of larceny?
Or was the feloniops intent to take money
from the company that belonged to the
policy holders absent from the act?"
Judge O'Sullivan, who takes issue with
District Attorney Jerome, says that CON
tributing to political party Is not nee
essarily a crime; in fact II may be so
free from the faint of crime to be not
only plainly honest, but eminently patri-
otc" But he tells the grand jury that
1t must answer for itself this question:
IF corporate funds were diverted from
the rightful owner and given away with
out the slightest expectation of profit or
financial return. was any person deprived
of his property"
IF you find that they did take with
the intent to deprive and defraud you
find felonious intent and the crime de-
fired as larceny" he said
Mr.. Jerome contends that 1t cannot be
established that the money was taken
with felonious intent
If the grand jury indicts the insurance
officers an interesting question will be
raised. VIII it be possible to get a jury
to try the cases? There will be ground
to exclude republicans because of the
fear that party bias would lead them to
take a patriotic view OF contributions
made to their party. Democrats might
be excluded On the ground that they
would be prejudced because the contri-
buttons were made to the republican cam
paign fund. 1t is evident that there is
trouble ahead.

Nek York. March .-(Special)--Her-
bert IS. Hadley, Mssouri's quiet young
attoney-general, has tanned the Standard
Oil thst A little more than year ago
Mr.. tadley started out to prove that the
threeoil companies doing business in Mis-
souriEthe Waters-Pierce company, the
Republic company and the Standard Oil
of Inliana-were controlled by the Stand
ard oil company of New Jersey, the par
ent corporation, and were operated from
% Broadway this city. He brought his
aetion(u Missouri's antitrust laws.
Which Mr.. Hadley first called the Off
GERS oh the trust to the witness stand
they were defiant lot They refused
to answer any questions concerning the
stock ownership of the concerns in ques-
ton. Then followed a long fight in the
courts 1t was a tedious process, but at
last the trust officials were whipped into
submission. In. II. Rogers went on the
stand at the hearing In this city and
admitted thu ownership by the Standard
oil of its nominal competitors. He did
1t reluctantly and with ill-grace But he
had to answer The courts of Missouri
had ruled that he must and he knew that
If he refused again the courts of this
state would sustain the Missouri decision.
In addition to Mr. Rogers admissions
as to ownership Mr.. Hadley has In ms
possession copies of documents to show
that the oil business in his state Is actu-
ally directed by the trust. The case IS
now almost ready for the courts. With
verdict against the trust, the company
may be made to suffer any one or the
following penalties:
II. Conhscation of all property within
the boundaries of Missouri.
80 Custer from the state.
49, Restricted custer that is, limita-
ton of its charter to do business within
the state
"a. Fine of any amount the courts may
deem it proper to assesS."
The most striking point in the victory
of young Mr.. Hadley is that he proceeded
calmly. Boosting and vituperation had
no part in his campaign. He has held TO
his purpose despite the sneering of II. H..
Rogers and others and in the end brought
down a half dozen of the Standard Oi's
brightest men. Mr. Hadley has done
much to prove that an energetic and sin
cere public servant armed with the law
is more than match for the directors
of the most powerful representative or
organized wealth in the world. 1t Is a
safe prediction that the country will hear
more of Hadley.

What Liquozone Is

The virtues of Liquozone are de-
rived solely from gases, by a process
requiring large apparatus. and from
s to IA days time. No alcohol, no
narcotics are in it. Chemists of the
highest class direct the making. The
result is to obtain from these harm
less gases a powerful tonic-germicide.
The great value of Liquozone lies in
the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet
harmless to you. Germs are of veg
etable origin; and this gas-made prod
ucf. when absorbed by them, stops
their activities. We publish an offer
of 81 900 for a disease germ that 1t
cannot kill But to the body Liquo.
zone is exhilarating, vitalizing purify
ing. 1t is helpful in the extreme.
That is it's main distinction. Com
mon germicides are poisons when
taken internally That is why medi
cine proves so nearly helpless in a
germ disease. Liquozune Is a tonic.

Can any one suppose that we would
spend so much to give Liquozone away,
were it not a remarkable remedy? Would
we buy the first bottle, and give it to
you, II the results were doubtful?
You want those results: you want TO be
we'll And perhaps you have tried other
ways unsuccessfully. The reason may be
that your trouble is due to germs and
common remedies cannot destroy them.
Please learn what others know. Let us
show you what Liquozone can do.
