Four Companies Investigated.

BY far the greater part of the report
is devoted to the Prudential Insurance
company of America, the largest of the
four companies under investigation.
Principal among the recommendations IS
that a bill be enacted limiting the amount
of capital stock which may be PAID
thereon from future earnings SO long as
the company continues to conduct the
participating life insurance business to
10 per cent on the stock and providing
that on the dissolution of the company
the stockholders of the company shall
have out of the ultimate dist, button
of assets not more than two dollars for
one of the face value of their shares
This bill provides, however, that where
accommodations are greater than that
amount already have taken place (as
claimed In the case of the PrudentiaD,
the stockholders shall not be deprived of
their rights thereto.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-03-07
Recommendations.

Among other recommendations were:
Provisions for the appointment by the
governor of three directors of every stock
line insurance company those directors
to be persons having no interest in the
stock of the corporation; limiting the
amount of stock which any insurance
company may hold in any other company
to 10 per cent of the whole; providing
that no life insurance company shall in
vest more than two per cent of its own
assets in the stock Of any other corpora
tion1s restricting child insurance; requir-
ing more detailed statements of the at
fairs of insurance companies; requiring
the examination of insurance companies
at least once in three years, prohibiting
contributions to political campaign COM
mittees that after January |, 1908, no
domestic company shall write both par
ticipating and non-pa participating policies.
The committee report that on the
whole 1t found that the companies I'M
der investigation have been carefully adj
minlstered their funds generally well in
vested, and the salaries of their officers
not so high as to require restrictive leg
iSlation.

Beau Hnummel..

Brummel went to prison for debt, but came out again to resume his fop- perles. His friends made him small allowance of f120 per annum, equal at Caen to G3O0, but he could not bet.ex- pected to live on such a pittance. When he. had not francs in the world he would order boot polish at 6 francs; a bottle from Paris and call the tradesman who supplied it. "a scoundreP' for venturing to, ask for his money. In the end, his intellect gave way. He lost his memory and much of his little mind. He grew sloyenly and careless, yet to the last chung to his eau de cologne and some other lu1uries. Finally, his mind all gone. he was removed. to a charity. hospital being now reduced to the utmost i'm poverishment and content to change bis linen once a month, instead of three times day, as of old. Here he died under the care of sisters of charity on March 30, 184O., Thus. ended the striking career of perhaps the, most worthless fop whom history records, his death being fitting. terminal tion to his useless life. ,< .n

Hersey's paper ..on ''Ths Sunday school of to-morrow''' made people sit, up and take notice. and would have caused a warm discussion had there been time. Mr. Wolfe's address portrayed the natural method of the teaching of Jesus. The music was all appropriate, and the special sing CTS inspired the convention. The Congregational church entertained the convention, but g general spirit of helpfulness. and fellowship was shown in and around the village, and de. nominational lines were not very vis- ible. It ought always to be so. Let us hope tho sentiment will spread throughout the association. The fol- lowing officers were elected: Presi. dent, John R. Palkhurst; vioe-presi- dent, William H.

TENTS BEING ERECTED IN
PARK FOR STREET FAIR

A gang OF prisoners from the peni-
tentiary have been busy at the Depot
Park today preparing for the street
fair. to be given there Thursday and
Friday evenings for the benefit OF the
Civic Improvement League. An eight
foot woven wire fence Is being erected
around the park and the tents for the
various shows and attractions are be-
ing put up. BY Wednesday night the
park will have undergone a complete
Transformation in appearance and will
hardly be recognized even by those IA
miliar with the surroundings. The
magnitude of the street fair can best
be appreciated by going down to the
park and watching the preparations
that are being made for it. The acre
or so OF canvas ought to convince the
most skeptical that 1t Is going to be
about the biggest amusement aggrega-
ton ever seen in Canon City.

explained that if he did not see the
federation leaders often 1t was because
he was lying low to avoid capture for
previous crimes. This Globeville in
quiry developed more shocking crime.
At this Denver suburb there was dia-
bolical plot-Orchard swora it was in
spired by Max Malich (the defense
claimed that Orchard was the author)
to dynamite a boarding house where
$50 non-union men lived, and in prepa-
ration for the murder en- bloc Orchard,
Adams and a man named Joe Mahalick
broke into two magazines and stole 900
pounds of dynamite which they tugged
home at night and buried in their cell
lar. The crime was abandoned because
Haywood forbade him to have anything
to do with it.
Carrying out the lines of testimony
tending to show that Orchard, regard
less of the great hold which it is pre-
sumed he had on the federation lead
ers, was frequently without funds, the
defense showed that from late in 1908
until the middle of 1904 Orchard con-
tinually drew strike relief at Cripple
Creek and then dramatically invited
Orchard to explain the inconsistency to
the jury. Orchard replied that Hay
wood. Meyer, Parker and Davis all ad-
vised him to continue drawing relief
because if he displayed money he
would excite suspicion.
The examination next covered a re-
view of the earlier attempt on the life
of Governor Peabody and the making
of the bombs to kill him, and the plots
against judges Gabbert and Goddard
with an effort everywhere to cast doubt
on the testimony of the witness. Orch
ard told dramatically of the first at
tempt to assassinate Peabody-an
early-morning drive through the snow
to place the bomb, and an extended
wait and the unexpected appearance of
two coal wagons, that, coming from
an alleyway. were driven across the
trigger string at the moment Peabody
was crossing the mine field.
In five minutes yesterday Orchard
since he began his testimony.
1t was then the defense, in a rough
shod digression, asking him If he had
not deserted his Cripple Creek wife,
stripping her of every nickel she had.
and leaving her in poverty that COM
PEELED the sale of her washtubs to buy
bread. Orchards lips quivered and
with tears near he falteringly denied
that he had done so and said that the
federation leaders had promised to
care for her in his absence.
