MOTHER HOME i'll,
FATHER SEARCHES
FOR MISSING BOY
James Burke, of Midtown,
Mass, Reaches Newark in
Weary Hunt for Son.

A grieving mother, calling for her
erring son, has sent her husband, James
Burke, of Midtown, Mass, all over the
East looking for his 20-year-old son.
John. who left home before Christmas
last year. Burke reached Newark to-
day, having heard that his boy was sent
to Jail here as a cocaine victim,
With the approach of the holidays.
Mrs. Burke has been longing for her
sons return, n at last became pros
trated. Her husband, leaving his seven
younger children with her, has been
tramping New York footsore and weary,
using his scanty savings to find his sor,
and restore happiness TO his home.
Burke came to the office Of THE
EVENING STAR today and asked for
aid in finding his boy.
II was sent here to you, and his
mother will bless you if you help me
find him." said Burke, with tears in his
eyes.
His little store of money is almost ex-
hausted. He has been to Blackwell's
SiNAAt "btiN t4io " N%o III III
New York as q vagrant. He learned
that he came to this city ard under
stood that he was arrested in the CO.
caine crusade here last summer. At
h Cour House the prosecutors or the
sheriff's men did not recognize his pie
turc, nor did the police remember hay-
ing arrested him.. The father is not
discouraged, and will keep up the
search here for a day or so, and will
visit the ~penitentiary.
A year ago the elder Burke objected
to the boy staying out late at night and
keeping bad company, and after an ar
gument on December II the boy left the
house and, with two other companions,
came to New York. The father spent
his vacation walking the streets of New
York, and when he returned discour-
aged his wife was heartsick. In this
second search, the anxious father is
making every penny of his little horde
go as far as possible.
The boy is five foot seven, has sandy
hair, blue eyes and regular features.

tax burden should be laid upon the
business, practically to penalize thrift
in its most desirable form. is evidence
that we are as yet far from having
made government a science and the
protection of the most deserving ele-
ment of society a serious matter Of
government concern
Continuing, Mr.. Dryden said:
Legislatures in time will realize the
serious implication of the words Of
Chief Justice Marshall, that the power
to tax involves the power to destroy,
and that overtaxation of life insurance
interests must unquestionably be fol-
lowed by serious consequences to the
people as a whole. The position the
companies take is, l think. not oppo-
sition to taxation as such, but to over

crease in the rate as the result or new

said. was a present menace to life In
surance companies.
The Prudentials president said nc
was well aware of the practical dl1ncui-
ties which confront life insurance com
panies in obtaining radical reforms In
taxation. but his main object has beer
to urge serious consideration OF the
subject upon the administrative ofncers
of life insurance companies and upon
earnest and impartial students OF in
%surance methods and their results, blu
most of all upon the vast body OF
American po~licyholders who carry a
needless burden of expense from which
it is the duty of the State, as far as
possible. practically to relieve them.
"If the German empire" said Mr.
Dryden. with its vast burden of mill
tary, colonial and other expenditure
far In excess of ours, r&frains from
taxing its life insurance policyholder'
more thar a quarter of i per cent. O

economic or political justification TO

times as much) upon the premium in

panies."

EXECUTIVES DISCUSS
PUBLIC SERVICE BILL
Conference in Albany Expected
to Show Results in Message
to Jersey Legislature.

After a five-hour lesson on The Sub
DUNG of a Legislature" by that ia
nous professor, Charles e. Hughes, of
Albany, Governor J. Franklin Fort was
busy at his East Orange home today
preparing for the North Carolina hunt
ing trip on which he starts tomorrow.
Governor Fort was told all about the
successful handling of unruly Senates
and Assemblies, the net result being
that the cure is a special session. The
infection of the special session on the
New York Legislature brought about
the adoption OF the bills killing racing
and establishing the public service COM
mission.
1t WIS in the public service legisla-
ton that Governor Fort was mostly
Interested. He expects to essay the
role of ringmaster with a high-spirit1d
Legislature next month, and the prin-
cipal stunt will be the enactment OF a
public utilities law along the lines lie
has already, mapped out. AS each
member of the Legislature has an in
dividual idea of his own about the con-
troll of public service corporations, Gov
ernor Fort sought advice from a past
master in the art of public service leg
islation.
Conference Lasts Five Hours.
Governor Fort spent five hours with
Governor Hughes at the executive nan
sion in Albany. Besides discussing
joint legislation by the TWO States thsy
spoke at length on what Governor
Hughes had accomplished and how he
did IL.
The two executives made preliminary
outlines to each other of their forth
coming annual messages. Governor
Hughes Is already at work on his.
Governor Fort has written several
paragraphs on his, but it was for hints
and material for the utilities commits
sion paragraph that he went to Albany.
Governor Fort starts for North Car
DINA tomorrow to spend two weeks
hunting on the great Mackay estate
there. He will be accompanied there
by DIR. o. G. Bogardus, of Keyport,
the former sheriff of Monmouth county.
They will probably meet there Chief
Justice Gummere, who accompanied
his invalid wife to North Carolina a
week ago. The three are said to have
planned a hunting campaign.
VIII Work While Away.
During his leisure in North Car
DINA the. Governor expects to sketch
out several important features of his
message to the Legislature, drawing on
the notes he made while with Governor
Hughes.
Governor Fort declined to say any
thing to-day concerning his visit with
Governor Hughes except that it was an
informal chat and that they did discuss
legislation.
