NOTED CASE UP AGAIN
Question Whether Perkins Was
Particeps Crinlnis in a Theft
To Be Decided.
HAsREACHED THE FINAL COURT
Lawyers Arguing Whether Contri-
button of Insurance Funds to
Politics Is a Crime.

Albany, n. T., Dec. 1.-The Grim
inal charge against George w. Fer
kins as vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company, in con
nection with the payment of S4S,TO2 to
the Republican national committee in
the campaign of 1904, Is UP before the
court Of appeals. Grand larceny in
the first degree is the charge made by
District Attorney Jerome against Per
kins. who Is a member of the firm Of
J. P. Morgan q Co. 1t was shown
before the Armstrong insurance COM
mittee a year ago that Perkins paid
the money out Of his own funds and
was afterwards reimbursed with in
terest out of the funds of the New
York Life Insurance company by order
of President Mccall.
What the State Contends.
The experimentation Of the supreme
court has decided that Jerome's charge
will not hold, and it is an appeal from
this decision which is now being heard.
Wallace MacFarlane, Of New York, Of
counsel for District Attorney Jerome,
made the argument for the people,
I'VE shall contend" said MacFarlane,
that Perkins was what would gen
orally be called an accessory before the
fnct to what would generally be called
an embezzlement Of the funds of the
New York Life Insrance company"
Wasn't in the Line CT Business.
Concluding his argument MacFar-
lane said: obviously, the business of
the New York Life Insurance company
was insurance. Certainly nothing could
be more unconnected with its lawful
corporate business than to engage in
political campaigns and expend the
! funds which it held for the benefit Of
its poHcyholders in promoting the cleo
ton to political office of the candi-
dates favored by two Of the principal
officers of the company"
How the Other Side Talks
Ex-Justice William n. Cohen de
clared that the essential elements OF
embezzlement were lacking. In this
contention he urged that subscrip
ton which a corporation might have
made to the San Francisco relief fund
or which a bank might make to 6
church, might be classed as something
outside Of the business of the corpora
ton, and therefore a contribution
which the stockholders in the cor
poration might recover from the on
GERS making it. Such a contribution
however, would not allow any basis
for a criminal action against these of
ficers.
Campaign Contributions Moral.
Touching on the subject of the con
tribution Judge Cohen said: "a cam
pnign subscription is per Sc q mora
act, and in the absence of affirmative
evidence that a particular subscrip
ton is animated by an immoral pur
pose there can be nopresumption base
upon the character of the act whicl
will lead to the inference that it is no
within the implied powers of the com
pany."

The Tbeoter
"Parsifal" October 2S.

Perhaps the greatest compliment
ever maid an author and at the same
time the sinoerest tribute ever be-
slowed upon work of genius was
given by the late Queen victoria
when that august lady travelled all the
way from Windsor castle In England
TO the little town of Baireuth, Bavaria,
to witness Wagner's grand spectacle
of "Parsifal."
1t had long been the custom of
England's .royalty to issue com
mand" for such performances as they
wished to see, when those receiving
the command" were only too pleas
ed to "obey" and appear at Windsor
for the pleasure of those command
ing" There was always ample re-
ward given in return-but it was the
honor that was coveted.
Wagner had ordained that during
| his life, "Parsifal' should not be seen
outside of the specially constructed
opera house for that purpose in Bal
reuth. Queen Victoria knew that her
command would be of no avail in this
instance. When in London on one OF
his concert tours. Wagner had receiv-
ed one Of these commands" men,
toned and had appeared at Windsor.
The great queen had personally met
the great genius.
Since the death of her royal hus-
band Prince Consort, Victoria had
never set her foot within the wall!
of theater, but the sorrowing lady
could not resist the desire to witness
so beautiful a spectacle as "Parsifal.'
The queen travelled incognita. None
outside OF her own immediate atten
dants knew of the intended journey
: except the cabinet ministers who mus
always be apprised of such happen
a ings. None knew of 1t in Baireuu
but Wagner.
