Joel G.

Van CUo, actuary ot tne Equitable Life Assurance Society, read a paper at the opening session of the annual meet tng of the Actuarial Society of America In aries should never vleld to th nnin which may be brought against them by-Presidents or Vice Presidents, or Superintendents of Agencies, to get up some form of policy that will "beat the other fellows." when those "other fellows" are already Issuing as liberal contracU as any company can afford to issue. Mr. Van Cise continues: There Is another great and growing evil which menaces the prosperity of all companies to some extent, and which In my judgment all Actuaries should unite In an effort to remedy, and that the practice of twisting' business from one company to another. This method of obtaining so-called new business not only largely increases the percentages of expenses and death losses, but also brings discredit to some extent upon the whole business bf life assurance. J'This talk of the evils connected with the changing of policies leada me to say that the men who spend their time laboring to accomplish such changes do not generally belong to the highest class of soliciting agents, and this also leads to the suggestion that Actuaries should use their Influence and lend their assistance In elevating the standard adopted In the selection.

of solicitors." The annual election of the society resulted as follows: President Thomas B. Macaulay: First Vice-President Oscar B. Ireland; Second Vice-President Israel Plerson; Secretary John Tatlock, Treasurer John B. Lunger. A.

A. Welch and John K. Gore were elected members of the council, and about twenty members of the society were appointed delegates to the Third International Congress of Actuaries to be held In Paris next month. The concluding session ot the meeting will be held to-day and the annual dinner at the Metropolitan Club to-night. Will P1Y BILL FOR TROOPS Westchester Rncfs It Must Honor Gen.

Roe's Claim for iW6000V Burddit to Pall on Taxpayers Next Yaar Try to Collect tho Amount from New York City. Vrams PLAINS. N. May Westchester County Board of Supervisors to-day ordered the pajrmant of the bills presented for the expenses of the troops that were called out on the requisition, of Sheriff Moiloy to protevt the property at the Cornell Dam during the The Judiciary Commute reported the county was liable for the payment of the bills as certified by Major Gen. Roe.

as the Military Code left the county no dls-' cretion In the matter. Whether the charges were considered, -or-were In fact, exorbitant, they could not be altered If the commanding officer reported them correct and called for their payment. The bill In this case for the military alone amounts to mooa ySome of the 8upenrtsors thought It unreasonable that the cdunty must pay bills charged at exorbitant rates. The Supervisors' said the troop were. called to the county in an emergency for service at an out-of-the-way plaoe, and the charge were, perhaps, above the market price, but the articlea had to be had and at almost any prices naked.

Supervisor Halght thought a single company of militia could have maintained order, and prevented any destruction of property. The County Treasurer was directed to pay the bUia, and he wUI have to raise the money on a certificate of Indebtedness, and put the whole amount Into the next Spring tax levy, which will raise the taxes about 12 per cent, next year. It was proposed to Issue bonds 'or the amount, maturing In different years, and so making luraskr for the taxpayers, but the law says that the sum must be placed In the next tax levy. It was decldad to have the Judiciary Committee draft an act for presentation to the providing that th City York reimburse the County of estchester for protecting Its property, on which the cltv refuses to pay any taxes, and which is of no use or benefit to the County of Westchester.

Bronx, of $371.33. In their report th Commissioners of Accounts say that when their subordinates examined the moneys In Spear's possession he signed a statement to the effect that he had $101.17 on hand. The examination disclosed the fact that $58.00. which should have been turned into the City Treasury, had been withheld; that $75 had been retained from Jurors' fees, and that the remainder belonged to litigants, who msde deposits that were not returned. The total amount which should have been on hand was $502.50, leaving a deficit ot $371.83.

The matter was reported to the Mayor, and a duplicate copy of the report was also sent to the District Attorney. Mr. Spear said that if any expert accountant could show the shortage claimed he would give a salary ($250) to any charitable Institution designated. LUNCHEON ON A NEW SHIP.

Roberts Addresses Bankers at Richmond, Va. THE GREAT SUCCESS ACHIEVED No Counterpart to It In tho History tho World Impregnable Position of This Country. RICHMOND, May Two Months Under th Kew rinanctal Law was the subject ef aa address by ElUs H. Robert. Trsesurer of th United State, bf or the Virginia Bankers' Association to-day.

He explained the details of the law and Us results so far at considerable length, point. Ing out that nowhar In th history of the world could a counterpart be found for th success achieved tinder the new law. He eald In part: "The act ot March 14. 1900, marks a new: era tn our finances and our currency. This -law makes a unique rate of Interest 00 Government bonds, and so streets th earn- tags of capital ta all us.

it give parity to all our currency. On th fac of an our money, paper and coin, white and yellow; on all our bonds, all wag, an trad, all banking, all business. It brands deep and sur. to read of all aoen for all tisn, the pledge of gold. Tb lowest rate of Interest borne by th bonds ot any foreign nation la 2 per cent, on British consols.

This to run until 1900. and then tsbsSH -per cent. On only a part of th debt of Germany, Franc, and Russia Is the rate as low as 3 per cent. Denmark borrows at the same rat. Austria pays no less than 4 per cent, and Italy no less than A v.

The average bank rate for money In the European centres In the year ending Jan -last was 3.8 per cent. In Amsterdam. 2.7 in Paris. 3.17 tn London, and 4.W tn Hamburg 1 and Berlin, la th year ending ta June last the average for call money tn New Tork waa 2.86 to.S.85, and tor prim paper S.34 to 4.20. At tb market price, during March last, our 4 per cent, bonds of IOCS earned to the Investor sn average of 2.149 per cent, a year, th fours of V.Xfl earned per the three earned 1.CU3.

and th fives only For April, on th am basis, the average earnings were: For the tours of lSfcS, 2.244 per fours ot 1907. X.W1; threes, L7S8: fives, 1.452. The contrast with foreign loans Is most -marked. The German 84 per pents. sell at tM4 to 97 and the as at lo gifts, so that their earnings to the buyer ar mor than the Interest stated.

The premium on British, consols Is about 1 per snd on th. French rente 1 per or a slight frao-V tlon more. The latest allotment ot British -Treasury bills was at tttUSd. for thre months and PtLSd. for twelve months.

Thus money is cheaper with us than anywhere else among men. For volume Issued within a given period, as well as for the low rate of interest, the new twos stand unique in the financial -history of our country and of the world. We shall fall to give full weight to this fact It we do not note that no concession in any form is granted on this loan. Th sol coat is one-fifteenth of 1 per to cover printing snd distribution. What thla means we see In -the price put by Britain on Its latest war loan-4tA4 on bonds bearing 2 per cent.

Nor is thla quite all. Our con-suls of 1900, before the bonds com from the printer, sell as high ss 107. and to-day command 10U. Teu can cite no parallel te this record. The first effect of this loan IS to release to this date for business S2T.O-J3.877 to meet the present worth of the old securities exchanged.

This money hss actually been paid out by the Trasury within two months. The profit to the Government on tbea transactions is S4.887.ua4. Should the new bonds be taken to the total of S400.000.Usi on an average date of settlement of Jun 1 th profit will be Th total money released on that volume of bonds wtli be S40.ouo.00u. This outgo, whatever It may be, la a natural return ot money to the channels of burin. "The results sre possible, this fruit ripens before us.

because by the act of March 14, 1U00, the practice of the Government in paying Its debts snd keeping lis currency at a parity Is written in th statutes. Not by statutes alone, however. haa gold become the master element la our currency. For three years, snore than ever before has the yellow metsl been thrusting Itself Into our markets, our vaults, into the pockets of the people. It means a great deal that In each of th paat four months gold has gone into our -currency at an average of Sa.74O.O0O a month over a year.

The tide -Is rising rather than fallin. and a. growing hare comes from our own mines. More than a third of the product of the world tenches our coffers and enriches ment add people.
