Mead, who been working out a plan for augmenting the city water supply, has written that he will be In the, city on Thursday night to consult the trustee relative to the report he submitted some time ago. (From the New York World, Bent. 25, 1606. The World printed on Saturday an editorial on Equitable corruption which discussed a part of the testimony relating to the New York Life.

Thomas A. Buckner, a vice president of that company, immediately pre pared a bulletin tq agents, which waa being distributed yesterday. He. in closes a copy of The World's editorial. duly credited, with his replies to tne several, points'.

In a note to hla agents Mr. Buckner "Use the points given you herein and tha editorial in question to show your Intending prospects Just how the real situation stands. The sending of this article and the comments thereon are hot to be taken as a reflection upon the newspaper named. This paper doubtlSBs has a much knowledge of the subject of Insurance as any other. Granted, however, that it endeavored to' state its opinions based upon its knowledge ot the facts, nevertheless this Incident is an Illustration, Valuable to you in the of Just bow much rubbish there la in newspaper discussions on the subject ot Ufa insurance." Mr.

Buckner quotes from The World editorial this: "The diversion of the interest receipts from investments to meet the expenses of management would, aa The World has repeatedly stated, have caused Insolvency had not the flood ot new premiums been kept up." Replying, he says: "Statement! like thfs by a newspaper which is recognised as an intelligent Journal are surprjslng. There has been In company no 'diversion of Interest receipts from Investments to meet the expenses of Not, a penny of Interest receipts has been spent for management expenses in connection, with the ot business. Agents' commissions, ex AmlnaUon and Inspection fees, as well as tha other costs at securing and handling' new policies, all coma out of the first year premiums." Again quoting from The World: "Last year the New York Life's actual expenilrft of management exceeded its interest receipts." Buckner: There is jUBt about as much connection between the expenses' of management of a life Insurance company and its interest receipts as there is between a company's expenses ot management and its death claims. The ex penses, of management have nothing whatever to do with Interest Interest receipts come from the'asseta ot the: Company, which have absolutely nothing to. do with the new business being written for current year.
