LIMITS AMOUNT OF STOCK
ALLOWED BUT $4,000, 900
Committee Appointed to Investigate
Matter Of life Insurance in New
Jersey Makes a Report Embodyins
a Number of Recommendations.

Trenton, y. J. March 6-Many i'm
portant recommendations for the re-
gulation of life insurance companies
in New Jersey are included in the
report of the select committee of the
senate appointed to investigate the
subject of life insurance in the state,
made public today.
By far the greater part of the re-
port is devoted TO the Prudential in
surance company of America. Princi-
pal among the recommendations is
one that a bill be enacted limiting the
amount of capital stock which any
life insurance company may have TO
50 000, 900 and the dividends which
may be paid thereon from future earn
ings to 10 per cent upon the stock;
and providing that upon the dissolu-
ton of the company the stockholders
of the company shall have out OF the
ultimate distribution of assets not
more than 81 for one of the face value
of their shares.
The report says that the balance
and surplus of 125.000.0o0 now held
by the Prudential, was all contribut-
ed by and in ethics all belongs to the
policy holders, after fair deduction
for the expenses of operation and
just return to the promoters of the
enterprise"
while the vested rights of the
stock holders of the Prudential COM
pany must be recognized and main
tanned. we cannot, contemplate with
out some solicitude the continuous roll
ling up of an enormous surplus by this
company, taken from millions OF con-
tributors, for whom the company is
the trustee if this surplus is to be
considered the property of few
stockholders whose rewards obtained
under the companys charter have al
ready been so great.

TWO LADS SWALLOWED
UP BY QUICK SAND
Attempt to Remove Horse from the
Death Trap and They are Lost
bodies Not Found.

Morgantown, w. Va, March 1.-TWO
boys were drowned here this afternoon
in a decidedly peculiar manner and
their bodies have not up to a late
hour this evening, been recovered.
The boys, Walter Cotteral, aged ten,
and his brother George, were crossing
Hope Greek on the back of horse.
The animal sank in bed of quick
sand and the boys, not understanding
the difficulty, jumped of and endeav-
ored to assist the horse out. The
young fellows were soon entangled in
the deadly sands, and before their
father could row out to their assist
ance they had been drawn down I'M
der the water and drowned.
All efforts to recover the bodies, up
to this time have failed, and it is
doubtful if they ever will be.

RECEPTION DISAPPOINTING
Not as Many Legislators as Had Been
Expected Went to Vice Pres-
dents Home.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 6.-Neith-
err branch of the legislature was in
session tonight owing to the fact that
they were rendered a reception by
Vice President Fairbanks. Although
there was a large attendance of rep
resentatives and senators, together
with state officials, the number paying
their respects to the vice-president
was not as large as had been expected.
The explanation is given that owing
to close confinement during the past
several days to duties of state the law
makers found it necessary to return
to their homes SO that they could
give their attention to private affairs,
which had been neglected.

BIG SHR|NKAGE IN STOCKS
MARKET STILL PANlCKY
Well Defined Impression on the Street
that Hartman and His Associates
Are Really Responsible for the Elk
listing Conditions.

New York. March 6.-While there
has been some slight change late to-
day in the panicky conditions which
prevailed all of yesterday, many OF
those watching the stock market IN
sist that the end is not yet and that
the weakness manifested is even more
ominouS today.
While opinions differ as to the rea-
son for the vast shrinkage OF values
these since December are said to be
more than $4,000, 600, 000-there is
well defined impression in the street
that when the bottom is reached, II.
H. Hartman and his associates Will
be found. For the past week Har-
riman has been in Washington. Mean
while there has been Significant llq-
uidation of certain stocks, notably
those of the Hill lines.
Conservative estimates fix the de-
probation in values during the last
four months of Great Northern stocks
at upwards of $200,O00,00O, while
Northern Pacific is said to have run
second with a shrinkage amounting
to nearly $14OOO0,O0O. This, despite
the fact that Hill has made desperate
personal efforts to stem the tide.
At the same time 1T is signlhcant
that the Hartman stocks-Un1on
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Illinois Cen
trail. Baltimore & Ohio and others
have also been caught and raped
about as hard as the others.
Americans closed unusually weak
on the London market with selling
along the entire list. Every lndica
ton late this afternoon points to fur
Their trouble tomorrow.

SHE QU|VERS WITH
ANGUISH AND SOBS
(Continued from Page One)

Der, a day or two before his brother
Josiah's wedding.
During the time your son Harry
was at home, did you notice anything
unntural about his condition." asked
Mr.. Delmas.
81 certainly did, replied Mrs.
Thaw.
"Win you please describe what took
placer"
THAT day, when he first came to
the door. there was a look of absent
mindedness on his face, despairing
look 1t struck me at the time.
Mrs. Thaw's two sons, other than
the defendant, Edward and Josiah,

mothers testimony. They seemed
much affected by it.
did the impression of a change in
your son grow on your asked Mr..
Delmas.
"Yes, he seemed to have lost all in
terest in everything. His room was
next to mine. Often in the night
from his room heard smothered sobs.
Sometimes when l was awake late at
night / would see lights under his
door. and often found him sitting up at
3 or 4 o'clock in the morning.
In arguing on an objection by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. Mr.. Delmas
said he would invoke the rule OF the
law that Thaw being insane in 1908,
continued insane in 1904.
IF that assumption is sound, SAID
the district attorney, there is no rea-
son to believe this defendant is not
insane today, and it becomes the duty
of the court to suspend the trial.
Mr.. Jerome said he was not suggest
ing the appointment of a commission
in lunacy at this time, but was ad
vancing the point as an argument on
the question as to whether Mrs. ThaW
should be allowed to repeat all con
versations with her son.
Justice Fitzgerald overruled Mr.. Je
rome's objection to Mrs. Thaw'S tell
ing conversations with her son In
1904. He said the question of the ap
pointment of a lunacy commission was
not before the court.
Mrs. Thaw proceeded: He told me

| Mr. Jerome objected to the repeti
ton of the story until Mr.. Delmas stat
ed that the time at which it was told
was covered by the testimony of the
alienists as a period when Thaw was

"He told me the story said Mrs
Thaw. "but not definitely. He SAID

and he never could be happy. That

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
seems to be suffering because OF a
Jack of knowledge of the true scope
of it's work. The great possibilities
of it's work, and its value to a COM
munity are not understood and COLI
sequently not appreciated by a great
many of the people of this city. The
fact that the association in its finan-
cial canvass in cities where the asso-
citation has already been established
mas such remarkable success in rais-
ing funds should be in evidence to peo-
pie of good judgment that the associa-
ton is worth all the money put into
it.
The Impression seems to prevail in
Richmond in the minds of a few peo-
pie that the Young Mems Christian
Association is a genteel loafing place,
which, if true, with its wholesome
surroundings, its absence of unsesmly
stories and language, would be puch
better than the ordinary places where
boys and men sometimes congregate.
This impression is entirely false and
only prevails in the minds of people
who have rot taken the trouble to In
vestigate the methods and work OF the
association The whole atmosphere
and the import of the association is
against idleness in any sense of the
word.

Wo, m in Hogs

The hog is more infected with intestinal worms
than any other domestic animal These worms
are created by impure accumulations along the In
festival and generally produced by poorly di
gested food
The nature OF the hog and his manner Of eating
renders him more susceptible of intestinal worms
than any other animal Under the present domes-
ticated conditions he is not allowed the use Of his
natural instincts to obtain the necessary elements
that would destroy these intestinal parasites. Be-
ing shut up pen he is not allowed to follow the
dictates Of nature. The hog that is wormy can
neither grow thrive for the reason that the
worms destroy all the nutrition furnished In the
food. Liquid Koal put in the drinking water In
the proportion of quart to the barrel and given
them twice a week will destroy all intestinal
worms and keep them free from their formation
and multiplication. 1t strengthens the appetite
and tones up the system.
