angle. find that fewer companies
are failing.
The complete report for May,
just issued, discloses that the
number of insolvencies was the
lowest for any month in the last
four years. The figure OF 1909
compares with 2758 defaults for
May 1892, the highest num-
Der ever recorded for that particu-
lar month.

Higher Levels Of Compensation
For Service-connected
Ills Provided

Washington. June 6.-lP,-Presi.
dent Roosevelt Tuesday signed ar
executive order fixing new and higher
levels of compensation for service
connected disabilities of veterans
than was originally proposed in the
tentative regulations issued unde,

The regulations provide for an av-
erage reduction in service connected
cases of approximately Is per cent.
No service connected disability viii

The modified regulations apply
both to World war veterans and tt
Spanish war veterans with direct
connected disabilities while with an
expenditionary force in line OF duty.
The following announcement was
made at the white house:
Important changes were made
Tuesday by the president in regula-
lions having to do with compensation
allowances for veterans Of the Worlc
war and the Spanish American War
These changes were approved by tn.
president by an executive order which
he signed.
Reduces Previous Cuts
1.-THE object Of the changes made
was to reduce the severity of cuts Or
iginally proposed under the so-called
economy bill passed by the congress
to maintain the credit OF the United
States.
THE new regulations set forth In
the executive order were made posi-

Want Authority to Press Inquiry
Into Morgan Partners
Income Taxes

Washington, June 6.-(P>-The SEN
ate committee investigating J. P. Nor
gan and company decided Tuesday to
ask additional power to inquire into
stock transactions of the firm part
ners affecting their income tax re-
turns.
In a two-hour closed session it was
agreed not at present to go into the
income tax matters being pressed by
Ferdinand Pecora. committee counsel.
The committee adopted resolution
to go ahead with other phases Of the
inquiry while subcommittee drafts
a proposal enlarging its powers, to be
presented to the senate.
The resolution was offered by Sem
ator Glass Dem, Va, and Chairman
Fletcher said it was supported by Pc
cora.
The counsel for the inquiry has
sought especially to bring out income
tax reducing transactions carried
through by Thomas S. Lamont, Will
liam Ewing and Harold Stanley of the
Morgan partnership.
The resolution expressed the
sense" of the committee that it
should inquire into stock transactions
affecting the taxing powers Of the
government.
In its tWo-hour executive meeting,
the banking committee approved this
resolution by Glass (Dem., Va:
1T is the sense of this committee
that it should inquire into the prac-
tees of buying and selling securities
as such practices may affect the tax
ing powers Of the government; but in
asmuch as the legal rights Of the
committee to proceed along this line
Of inquiry is challenged, the commit
tee should proceed Immediately with
railroad, public utility and other
phases of the investigations and the
SUBJ committee charged with the in
vestigation be directed to report a
resolution charging the powers Of the
committee as soon as possible in such
manner as may be deemed necessary
to enable it to inquire into the above
practices"
The argument over what to do last
ed two hours, at the end of which the
resolution was passed by two-to-one
vote.
The investigating group then re-
turned to questioning Of O. P. Van
Sweringen on how he and his brother,
M. j., knit together their wide rail
intersts-and the part taken by the
Morgan bank.
