rington. pastor of st. Peters Episco-
pal Church, Essex Fells, who was

He was arraigned before Magistrate

Criminal Court yesterday on tech
nical charge Of attempted suicide and

enough evidence to hold the man on
an attempted suicide charge.
In statement to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dickerson yesterday

he attempted suicide. The only thing
he remembers, he told Magistrate
McQuade, was ringing bell to sum
mon aid.

NOT TAX-DODG|NG,
SAYS PRU'S HEAD

Forrest f. Dryden. president of the
Prudential Company, today issued
lengthy statement in reference to
House bill 81, introduced on Monday
night by Assemblyman Rowe, of Es-
sex. He says in part:
THE Prudential in fighting this bill
is not tax-dodging. The company is
already the largest taxpayer in the
city of Newark on both real and per-
sonal property with the result that
the taxes paid by it range from so
per cent. to 295 per cent higher per
thousand of its assets than those
paid by the other great insurance
companies of America. 1t should be
remembered that the policyholders in
terested in this fund have already
been heavily taxed, first, through the
premium tax of the State of New
Jersey; second, through the surplus
tax of the State of New Jersey prior
to apportionment; and, third, by the
surplus tax of the city of Newark
prior to apportionment.
IF this particular fund under dis
cussion belonged to the company it
would unhestatingly pay taxes there
on, as it does on it's other property.
But this particular fund is not the
Prudentials it is the policyholders'.
In the view of the company munich
pality ought not to seek to secure
local improvements by taxing funds
of this character, but should meet
such obligations by taxing its own
citizens, to which taxation the COM
pany has cheerfully contributed its
heavy quota.
1T is universally recognized that
policyholders in a life insurance
company by paying premiums are
voluntarily imposing upon themselves
a tax in order to provide protection
for those dependent upon them. In
this way Woodworking home-loving
people put themselves beyond the
need of State or other relief To tax
these funds would, therefore, be to
place a tax upon a tax, and If this
bill be enacted into law New Jersey
will be in the unique position of i'm
posing an additional burden upon the
citizens who by their thrift and fore
sight nave safeguarded their depend
ents and protected the State"

NEW YORK, Jan. 22-Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William Ellis
Corey. former president of the United
States Steel Corporation, were the
chief witnesses called today to tes-
tify at the resumption of the govern
ment hearings looking 10 the d'ssolu-
ton of the so-called steel trust.
Mr. Roosevelt consented TO be ex-
aminkd in his editorial offices: Mr..
Corey was summoned to appear be-
fore the commissioner IN an office
building downtown.
The hearing started shortly after II
o clock Colonel Roosevelt was asked
but one question by counsel for the
government, namely, whether state
ments contained in letter which he
wrote to Attorney General Bonaparte
concerning the T. C. and Ideal were
true. The colonel replied in the af-
firmative
R. Y. Lindabury, of Newark, n. j.,
counsel for the Steel Corporation,
then took up the cross-examination.
Mr.. Roosevelt testified that he was
aware that the government had I'M
dertaken an investigation of the Steel
Corporation before the 7. c. and l..
was taken over.
They reported to me unfavorably
in regard to the Standard OIL, but
favorably in regard to the Steel Cor
poration," he said
Colonel Is Bored.
This is less interesting than the
kimono strike remarked Colonel
Roosevelt during a lull while counsel
discussed the admission of docu-
mentary evidence.

led by Messrs. Fricll and Gary con-
corning the acquisition of the r. c..

Colonel Roosevelt emphatically.
Judge Jacob NJ. Dickinson, counsel
for the government, then took up
the coloners redirect examination.
In sanctioning the T. C. and l. deal
the witness said he had two things
in mind One" he explained" was
the relief it would give to the en-
tire country, not only New York,

Did you know at the time that
the United States Steel Corporation
was engaged in the fixing of prices
of steel through joint action of COM
peting companies which 1t con

Il mad 10 such knowledge" re-
piled the witness.
Judge Dickinson asked If the col

poration had participated in a steel
rail pool and whether it monopolized
the tin-plate industry.
II had no knowledge of the things
you mention he said.

ACTION DEFERRED ON
RECEIVER APPLICATION
Vice-chanceIIor Will Consider
Reid Case in May.

Vice-ehancellor Howell in Chan
Gerry today deferred until May the
application of John L. Reid to have
a receiver appointed for the Standard
Regulator Company, manufacturers
of heating plants, who have the con-
tract for the new heating plant in
the Newark Normal School ad have
installed the one in the Cleveland
School Reid is a stakeholder in the
company and now has suit for the
recovery of $4,000 pending in the
Union County Circuit Court against
the concern.
1t was the vice-chancellor's opinion
that the settlement of the suit in the
Essex Court would have material
bearing on the company's Financial
position. It's claim was that 1t
needed no receiver as it has enough
surplus to carry on its business, but
not to pay off the notes. A verdict
in Reds favor in this case would
make the company insolvent, the
vice chancellor held.

penknife, and the bluecoat behind him

Antonio caught Vizzio in front of

breast beneath the shoulder Vizzio
sank to the road and pulled Antonio
with him, fighting like a wildcat.
The pursuing policemen hurdled both
and then dragged them apart.
Vizzio, weak from the loss of blood,
was sent to the City Hospital. where
he is in a serious condition. Antonio
was taken to st. Barnabas's and,
after his wounds were dressed, to the
First precinct police station, where
a charge of assault and battery was
made against him.

SHIP TRUST PROBE
ON POOLING PACT
Witness Shows Written Agree
ment Between Royal Mail and
Hamburg American Lines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-More
testimony intended to show pooling
and rate fixing among Atlantic
steamship lines was given to the
House shipping trust investigating
committee today by Christian j..
Beck, freight traffic manager of the
Hamburg American lines operating
to the United States. He described
the practices of the lines between
New York and Cuba as independent
but careful not to underquote rates. y
Beck produced a pooling and rate
agreement between the Hamburg
American and the Royal Mail Steam
Packet line in the United States
trade between Jamaica, Central
America and South America. A "tac-
1t understanding" that rates should
not be cut existed, he said, between
his company and the United Fruit
line. There had been an increase
of about 10 per cent. in rates to
Jamaica in the last year, he said.
The agreement appeared to show
that the pooling applied not only to
Jamaica ports, but TO the Panama
canal zone.
The Royal Mail bound itself not to
extend its service to Haytian ports
and Santa Martha as far as sailing
to and from New York was con-
cerned, ''except in case of war with
the Dutch line" The Hamburg
American line bound itself not to call
at Trinidad and Grenada, excepting
with cruising steamers. If the
steamers of the Royal Mail We're re-
quired to call at Port Limon, 1t was
agreed the two companies should
meet to endeavor to prevent interfer-
ence.

BANK WINS IN
ED|SON|A CASE
Referee Adams Finds Claim
VaIid-Decision an lnpor-
tant One.

In an order handed down today by
Referee Adams the total claims OF
the National Nassau Bank, of New
York, against the bankrupt Edisonis
Company, of this city, are declared
valid.
The decision was handed down fol-
lowing a hearing on the validity of a
note for $4,000 made by the Edisonia
Company in favor of the New York
bank. Receiver Long contended that
the note was not secured and should
not be admitted as a legal claim.
In his opinion Referee Adams de-
clared that though the note may not
be secured individually. it was Sc
cured by the surplus collateral held
by the bank In excess of past debts,
or debts made and secured after the
note in question was made.
The order declares that the Ma
tional Nassau Bank. of New York,
holds leases pledged with it as Sc
curity for all of the Indebtedness OF
the bankrupt, and directs that AN
the overplus, if any, after satisfying
the obligations, should revert to the
receiver.
Referee Adams bases his decision
on the agreement made by the bank
and the bankrupts at the time the
loans were consummated. The agree
ment says that securities pledged
shall be applicable in like manner to
secure payment of future or past
claims.
This decision is regarded as of UNI
usual Importance because of the fact
hat large parts of the claims OF more
than twenty banking houses nave
been contested on the same grounds
as the $4,000 note.
