CAREFUL ABOUT BAGGAGE
NEW SYSTEM is ADOPTED
Most Every Person in Its Employ
Check a Piece Of Baggage Before
it is Accepted.

Since the adjustment OF the freight
service out of Richmond the Dayton
and Western has inaugurated a new
system of checking baggage. In
stead of the piece of baggage pre-
scented for transportation carrying the
usual check, still additional pains
will be taken to protect the company
against loss, in that new slips have
been filed with the Richmond ticket
agent, which will require thorough
description of the ticket. the name of
the checker, the name of the conduc-
tor and number of his car on which
the baggage is carried. The agent
will be required to keep one slip
while one will be given to the con-
ductor which has to be filed by him
in the general offices. The step is
taken to avoid trouble, as the handling
of baggage on the interurbans has
grown to large proportions since the
recent ruling of the officials which
done away with the twenty-five cent
charge for handling such.

indianapolis. Ind. Feb, A, (Spl.)-
Even more interesting tnan the es-
tablished fact that the officers of the
State Life Insurance company paid
out money to their policy holders for
Legislative purposes"-the hiring of
lobbyists, etc.-during the time the
bill for the legal reserve act was
pending, is the intimation that back
in the closing years of the COS they
made false affidavits to the auditor of
state in regard to the compensation
received by them.
This intimation was voiced at the
oral inquiry now being conducted by
the state into the affairs of the in
surance company. 1t has been shown
that in 1898 and again in 1899 the
sum of $4,000 was paid to each of the
three officers of the company-A. NJ.
Sweeney, president; Samuel Quinn,
vice-president and w. s. wynn, sec
retary-in addition to the amounts re-
ceived by these men as officers and
directors.
The annual statements filed at the
office of auditor of state for 1898 and
1899 show that the additional sums
of 81 900 pad the officers in eacn OF
those years appear in the item salar-
les and other compensations OF the
office employees" instead of where it
might be expected in the item sal
arioc OIL Z Of Of
ficers." This fact was dwelt upon
with emphasis by James w. Noel,
special counsel conducting the exam
nation for the state.
Salaries Went up by Leaps.
In the course of the quest -Oning 1t
was established that the salaries of
the officers jumped by leaps and
bounds from $4,000 in 1896, the first
year that the company paid salaries,
to $4,000 in 1905. The compensa-
ton of Charles F. Coffin was increas-
ed it was shown, from 81 800 in 1898,
to $4,000 in 1905. During most of
these years Mr.. Sweeney was drawing
salaries as president, treasurer, direc-
tor, executive committeeman and Of
flee employee; Mr.. Quinn was being
pdlu LOT dCIlnS dS N1Ce-pIeSlueut, sup
erintendent of agents. director, execu-
tive committeeman and Office employe
and Mr.. Wynn was drawing salaries
as secretary, actuary director, execu-
tive committeeman and Office en-
ploye.
The testimony developed the fact
that since August 1, 1905, j. f. Matson
mas been drawing 500 month from
the company. Mr.. Howe, who was
questioned in regard to this, did not
know Mr.. Matson nor what services
he did for the company to require
compensation. The order for the 800
a month had been made, he thought,
by Mr. Quinn. The amounts had been
charged to agents salaries" Mr..
Howe did not think however, that Mr..
Matson was an agent. He said no
business had been written by Matson
to his knowledge. 1t was developed
afterward that Matson is the publish
er of "MaAon's Monthly an insur-
ance publication, but no light was
thrown on the expenditure made TO
him.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.

little child who was with him; the
