New Century Club News

A social and musical afternoon
was enjoyed by large attendance
OF Newark and Middletown ladies.
The club room was filled to over
flowing. In spite of the good after
noon, many ladies had to be stand
ing. The reciprocity committee, in
charge of the exchange of pro-
grams, had invited the Middletown
club ladies to be our guests for the
afternoon. None of the Newark
club members knew what the pro-
gram would be, and it proved a
delightful surprise to all. The Mid
dletown club came in a body of
thirty. Their program for the after
noon consisted of piano recital
by Miss Watkins, one of their men,
bers. Miss Watkins aroused a great
deal of admiration and enthusiasm
by playing, for almost a full hour
classical selections without the
help of notes. Her program opened
with selections from Schumann
and Beethoven, then followed others
from Chopin and Litz. She con-
cluded with three delightful selec-
tlons from Mcdowell.
Following the music a social
hour was enjoyed by all. The hos
pltallty committee added a great
deal to the pleasure of that social
hour by some dainty refreshments.
Next weeks program will be a
talk by Mrs. Mitchell.

$559,383 PAID IN LICENSE
Company Sends Fees to Com
missioner Ekern.

Madison.-Henry F. Tyrell, for the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, Milwaukee, gave to Insur-
ance Commissioner Ekern a check
for 559,3S3.1S in payment for IL
cense fees for the company for the
year The payment was made under
duress, the insurance company
threatening to withhold the license
of the company unless the fees were
paid
This procedure was the same as in
the last four years, during which the
company has paid the fees under pro-
test. Based on the report made by
the tax commission in 1911, the COM
panys taxes would be for the present
year about 100000
At each session an attempt has bee
made to have the state do the com
pany justice in this matter, but the
legislature always turned a deaf ear
to the plea TO put in operation the
scientific method urged by the tax
commission in its report, or another
plan proposed for gradual reduc-
ton to a reasonable amount. These
attempts have always failed, as the
large expenditures voted by the legis-
lature led to their holding on to
every cent available.

Ex-Head of Rock Island Says
Others Fared Likewise.
WOULDN'T OWN ROAD NOW
Tells Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Of Dual Pay and Bonus
Upholds "MiIlion-Doilar"
Salaries.

Washington, March IAN annual
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, the
same amount for serving simultaDe-
ously as chairman of the executive
committee of the Frisco system and a
guarantee of 100000 additional con-
stituted the compensation pledged to
l.. F. Loree when he left the presi-
dency Of the Baltimore & Ohio road
to join the Rock Island forces. He
held the new places ten months In
1904 and then was asked by Daniel G..
Reid to resign.
Complying, he received in settle
ment of his agreement with Mr.. Leeds
$450,00O in Rock Island railway bonds.
Mr.. Loree testified to this effect on
Friday at the interstate commerce
commissions investigation of the
Rock Islands financial affairs during
the ReidLeeds-Moo control from
1901 to 1914.
Criticizing payment to c. H. Venner
Of $250,000. J. w. Folk, counsel for the
commission, brought out the fact that
Rock Island people did not like this
transaction. r. A. Jackson, then gen.
eral counsel for the Rock Island, sent
this telegram to Robert Mather, presi-
dent:
United States circuit court at
Springfield, H., has just committed
Venner to Jail for six months and fined
him $1,000"
Mr.. Mather sent this answer to
Jackson: Message received. Couldn't
we intervene and ask the court to
send Jim Ham with him?"
James Hamilton Lewis, now United
States senator for Illinois, was counsel
for Venner in his suit against the
Rock Island
Another witness was Mr.. Reid him
self, who defended the big salaries"
paid to Rock Island officials, declared
that he would not now accept as a
gift the control of any western or
southwestern railroad and that when
he and his associates took over the
Rock Island it had a surplus" of
$S,00O,00O, but no railroad" being
merely a streak OF rust" He said
also a man capable of operating an
80O0-mile railway was worth $1,000
900 year
The commerce commission itself
was held responsible for the financial
troubles of the Rock Island railroad
by Mr.. Reid, who contended the trouble
was not caused by the taking over
of bad securities or by payment Of
heavy salaries and bills. but by the
rulings Of the commission, which pre-
vented advances In rates to meet
higher wages and costs OF improve
ments.
r. A. Jackson, general counsel for
the Rock Island from 1902 to 1910, also
told the commission he had been asked
to resign by Mr.. Reid and had no
knowledge of why. While he had no
agreement. he had received 100000.
C. II. Warren. assistant to President
Leeds in 1904, said he had been in.
duced to go to the Rock Island under
an agreement that he receive stock
worth a minimum Of $150,000 at the
end Of two years. When he left the
company because the situation be-
came unsatisfactory" he was given
$4,000 cash and New Jersey holding
company stock having a face value Of
$205,0O0.
Mr.. Reid said what the railroads
needed was more rates, more tariffs
and less legislation"
