Trenton, n. J., March 6-Many i'm
portant recommendations for the reg
ulation of life insurance companies in
New Jersey are included in the report
of the select committee of the senate
appointed last year. to investigate the
subject of life insurance in the state

recommendations the committee has
drawn freely from the report of the
committee of 10 which was submitted
at the conference on uniform insur-
ance legislation last December. The
committee of 15 was appointed at a
general and insurance commissioners
at Chicago, February /, 1906.
BY far the greater part of the re-
port is devoted to the Prudential In
largest of the four companies under
investigation. Principal among the
recommendations is one that a bill be
enacted limiting the amount of capt.
tai stock which any life insurance
company may have TO two million dol
lars and the dividends which may be
paid thereon from future earnings SO
long as the company continues to con-
duct the participating life insurance
business, to 10 per cent upon the
stock; and providing that upon the
dissolution of the company the stock
holders of the company shall have, out
of the ultimate distribution of assets,
not more than two dollars for one of
the face value OF their shares This
bill provides. however, that where ac-
cumulatfons greater than that amount
already have taken place Gas claimed
in the case of the Prudentia) the
stockholders shall not be deprived of
their rights thereto.
The report contains an extended re-
view of the Prudential from the time
of its organization in 1873 under the
name of the widows and Orphans
Friendly society with a share capital
of $4,000. until the present when. as

SCHMlTZ CONVERTED.
President Roosevelt Showed Frisco
Mayor the Light.

San Francisco. March 6--The Examiner
publishes an interview today with Mayor
Eugene Schmitz of this city. held at Los

companied by the local school board on
their way home from Washington In
this interview Mayor Schnitz is reported
to have said.
The results of my conference with
President Roosevelt were successful even
beyond expectations. Although I went 10
Washington to confer with the president
about admitting the japanese into the
public schools. 1 found my views were
not altogether right, and when the matter
was presented to me in a light that I had
not before considered, I could see that
there was some reason for the attitude
of the head of the nation.
Il found out that President Roosevelt
was strongly in favor of admitting them
and OF course he is in a position to know
what is really best
Il feel that the wholesale immigration of
orfenta to this county would be detrf-
mental to the work of the people and I
am not in favor of letting down the frnrni-
grafton bars. But as far as letting them
go to school, 1 have come to the conclu-
sion that they have some right to get an
education"

port by the other members of the com
nittee
Both reports summarize the evidence
at considerable length, and the minority
report says:
We condemn the practice of appoint
ing newspaper men without skill or
competence to make examinations of in
Surnce companies.
I'VE also believe that the practice of
employing newspaper reporters or men
having any other business which occu-
pies large part of their time. in any
of the state offices is to be condemned
and ought not to be done for the reason
that such employees can not faithfully
serve their papers or perform other pri-
vate labors and at the same time per-
form their proper labors for the state.
We also believe that public office Is
public trust, and in no case should
be considered a private snap, and there
fore the practice of employing more
help in any state office than is absolute
" necessary for the work of such office
is not to be countenanced, even though
the law should permit such employ
ment.'
