MARX REACHED
BY PRUDENTIAL

The following statement compiled
from the annual report Of the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company. showing an
enormous increase in business during
,ls0s, was mailed today 10 members OF
the field staff The statement was COM
pleted yesterday and is now on its way
to the proper authorities.
Following is the summary made by
former United. States Senator John w.
Dryden, president of the company, ad-
dressed to the staff:
Without waiting for all the figures
being compiled for our annual state
ment, | take great pleasure at this
time in announcing the general results
for the past year, and in so doing to
assure each and all of you of my ap-
probation of the splendid deeds which
made such wonderful achievements
possible.
During 1909 the total amount of paid
for business reached the enormous fig
ure of over $500, ,000-in round fig
ures 1858, 100000 industrial and $l41,000-
100 ordinary. This means an Unprec-
edented increase in insurance In force
IN each department, the aggregate of
s25O,o0O.OO0 being the largest in the his
tory of the Prudential.
Claims were paid during the year
aggregating $15012.5ls.07 - Industrial
s1o,75l, 1889 and ordinary s4,260, 799.6s.
Endowments. annuities, dividends and
surrendered policies bring the total
amount paid to policyholders during
the year to $50 1893, ,4OO.26
These are stupendous figures They
tell. the story, more forcibly than 1
can in words, of the potency of our
loyal, intelligent and industrious work
ing force, unequaled in any organiza-
tion in the world, and also of the in
creased prestige of the great Pruden-
tial.
with every man keenly alive to the
brighter opportunities ahead of him for
greater earnings. we may safely look
for continued growth and progress all
along the line

Ballinger's Accuser Declares He
Was Advised Publicity Would

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--Louis r.
CLAWS continued his testimony today
before the joint congressional COM
nittee inquiring into the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy. He declared
among other things, that Ballinger on
one occasion instructed him not to puf-
sue an investigation against Repre-
sentative McLachlan. of California,
who held q claim in the ,rGeen group
of coal lands in Alaska He quoted
Ballinger as saying there had been too
much of the sort of thing in the past.
The witness gave further details of
his work in connection with the fraud
cases and said he had once thought of
from the service in order to
give out the facts to the press, but was
advised not to do that as it would
make too much of scandal at the be-
ginning of President Tafts adminlstra-
ton
The morning session had not pro-
ceeded very far when Senator Nelson
clashed with the witness, who had in
timated that attempts had been made
to hinder him in the investigation Of
the Alaska cases during the period
from October, 1905, and, March, 1909.
I'm any OF your talks with Land
Commissioner Dennet or others was

SEEK WRIT TO REVIEW
PRUDENTIAL TAX RULING.

City Attorney Herbert Boggs ap-
peared before Chief Justice Gummere
in the Supreme Court circuit today and,
in line with previously determined
action of the city authorities, applied
for a writ of certiorari reviewing the
action of the State Board of Assess
iment and Equalization of Taxes in the
Prudential Insurance Company's case
in which an assessment on the $4,000
600 special reserve fund of the company
was levied by the city. The matter was
appealed to the State Board, which up
held the company's appeal, and it is
from the decision of that board that
the certiorari proceedings are now in
stituted.
There was no argument over the mat
ter, Mr.. Boggs simply stating that it
had been determined to take the mat
ter into the courts and the Chief JUS
tice remarking:
This is a case where certiorari ought
to~1ie.
Mr. Boggs then presented the af-
ndavits in the case and the court told
him that it would be argued during
the February term
Edward D. Dufiield legal representa-
tive of the company, was not present.
