Several sensational inc. dents developed at the session of the i a i committee on life Insurance investigation to-day. The first was when George W. Perkins, vice president of the Life Insurance Company and member of the i of J. P.

It was stated definitely by Mr. Wlnthrop, subject, however, to correction at any time, that there Is no record on the Equltable's books of syndicate profits having been received in two cases whtch were mentioned at the hearing before the committee on Wednesday. Mr.

Wlnthrop at that time said that the society would look the matter up, and his report to-day was the result 6f the investigation by the Equitable management. The missing profits amount to S68.514, Of this amount, should have been received by the society as its profits In the St. Louis and San Francisco bond syndicate of 1895. This check was sent to the society by the Mercantile Trust Company, through which the Equitable had received its participation. The remainder of the missing J68.000 was in two checks sent by the Mercantile Trust Company to the Equitable In the St.

Louis and Iron Mountain syndicate of 1897. One check was for $21,906, and the other for $22,695. Mr. Winthrop assured the committee that the new management would Investigate thks matter most rigidly, and would at once have the checks looked up in the Mercantile Trust Company to ascertain who Indorsed them. Agreement to Pay Pension.

Interesting facts in regard to the agreement which the Equitable entered into to pay Mrs. H. B. Hyde, widow of the founder of the society, $25,000 a year as a pension after Mr. Hyde's death, and also about the pension of $18,000 a year which Mrs.

James W. Alexander was to get in the event of her husband's death, were brought to light today. It was shown that these agreements were entered into as far back as 1SSS, and that at the same time arrangements were made for the pensions Henry B. Hyde had his salary increased from $50,000 to $75,000. The increase in the president's salary and the provision for an annuity to his widow were made according to the special minutes of the finance committee in lieu of commissions u-hich Mr.

Hyde was entitled to receive on premiums and surplus. "What the nature of the society's obligation was to pay Mr. Hyde a commission on premiums and the surplus was not disclosed to-day, but it is known that this matter will "receive most searching attention of the committee. James H. Hyde, in a statement issued by him when the Equitable controversy was at its height, denied emphatically that his father had ever received any money from the society for this sort of thing.

It would appear also from the minutes of the finance committee meeting that James W. Alexander also was in a position to collect commissions on the society's surplus. The minutes say that the agreement between the society and the elder Hyde for commissions was signed "many years ago," the minute itself dating back to 1888. Bonuses Paid to Agents. Another sensation was sprung later in the day, when Vice President Thomas A.

Buckner, of the New York Life Insurance Company, detailed the advances made to agents, and Which were carried in the report to the State superintendent of Insurance as "commuting renewal premiums It was brought out as a matter of tact that these advances were loans, but were not carried as such. Mr. Buckner testified that advances were made to sometimes as inducements to leave other companies and enter the employ of the New York Life. A situation of conflict in Buffalo in 1901 between the Equitable and the New York Life was brought out, when, in order to get agents of the Equitable away from that company, liberal advances and liberal contracts were made by the New York Life. Mr.

Buckner testified that these advances to agents in the Buffalo branch of the New York Life in 1902 alone exceeded by $48,000 the amount really earned by these agents. Later, Mr. Buckner acknowledged this was most extravagant, and said in 1903 the amount was cut down by half, and by half the remaining amount in 1904. A copy of a contract and a confidential letter to David H. Desbecker, of Buffalo, one of the agents in question, showing the i held out for him to enter the of the New York Life, was read.

The confidential letter, or sup- a contract, reads as follows: i to agi ecment with this com- I of date i and subject to all ita terras and conditions, it Is agreed that If the and paid for by between this December 31, 1903, term excepted, equals $400.000. you will be entitled to a bonus of iu cash HI you i and pay in a t'me you will be entitled to ai additional bonus of SI.000 in cash If the a equals $800.000, i be en- i to and be pa'd a still further bum of $1.000 in cash: and if the amount equals Sl.OOO.00'0, you i be i to an additional making a. total that e-ient of $4,000. Now, the New York Life Insuianoe Company is so sanguine a you i i i latt'ir a it agrees that bonus 'shall not be lets a SJ.OO on the business written by you tcLween i date and December 31, 1903, irreapecl Ive of the amount and in addition to any other source or compensation your that 43500 15 to be a- ailable as herein $2 000 iu i Pijh when ou fcigti the contract and fie a i i will be due absolutely as a bonus on December 31. 1903.

It shall also be a matter of contract between and the a a should, in any year, i or exceed $100,000. all a i a business (term insurance excepted), you will be i to a commission of 5 per cent on a i paid on the i and years' In- a in addition to tne rates specified In sect i 20 of that agreement To a i i a business i the Xew L.ffe I a Company, it is a un- i derstood a ou i have a working balance to i of for the first 3 ear of a Said S1.5CO is a a i a to ou in cash not i SCO a This Jl.oOJ is i an advance, and Is to be charged to your account. It is further understood and agreed thai this S1.5QO is to relate to only one year of your contract and your bonuses to extend up only to the time mentioned.

And it is furthet agreed In the contract that this term shall not affect the terms of your other branch office contract with the company. This is the contract under which Mr. Pesbecker, with a. number of other agents, entered the employ of the New York Life in Buffalo. Hughes and Perkins Clash.

During the examination of Mr. Perkins to moneys handled for the Nylic fund by him as trustee, Mr. Hughes endeavored to learn what amount the company paid into that fund. In analyzing the parts of salarl.es and bonuses that the members cf Nylic paid In, Mr. Perkins and Mr.

Hughes came near a clash. Perkins objected to It going on the records 'that the agents paid into the a certain amount of their salaries under contract. Mr. Hughes said, "Well, we have the contracts in evidence, and we need not take. any more time over that." 'You are trying to get away from something, Mr.

Hughes," said Mr. Perkins. "There were bonuses also in the contract." "I'm not trying to get away from anything, and if you will please answer my questions, we'll get along much faster," retorted Mr. Hughes. SHRITTKAGE IN AS'SETS.

OPPOSE FEDERAL COMtTROL.

Senator Bulkeley (Sentiment of Hartford Insurance Interests. Hartford, Sept. to Federal supervision of life insurance companies was expressed at a meeting of the insurance interests of Hartford to-day, but formal action on the matter was deterred until a memorial can be prepared. The meeting was held to consider a letter sent to the insurance companies by Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, in relation to proposed government supervision of Insurance companies. At the meeting United States Senator Morgan G.

Bulkeley, president of the Aetna Insurance Company, was one of the chief speakers. He said that all Interests were agreed that government supervision would be economical and would the companies a lot of trouble. But they did not all agree on the advisability of such a course. He believed that the government has all the business on hand that It can attend to. A limited degree of supervision would not meet the situation.

R. F. HARVEY'S SONS, Result of Investigation of Western -Life Indemnity Company Affairs. Ohica.g-0, 'Sept. 28 --Inspector Lucius Pfotits, of the State insurance department, 'has finished his inspection of the books an'd accounts uf the Western IJfe Bretton "Woods, N.

Sept. closing session to-night of the National Convention of State Insurance Commissioners' was regarded as the most important of the meeting. A number of delegates desired to employ strong language in resolutions dealing with the reported irregularities in the affairs of several life insurance companies, but the more radical commissioners were outvoted, and the convention adopted resolutions along conservative lines. Commissioners Vandiver, of Missouri, and McGibney, of Louisiana, had recommended that strong action be taken as the result of recent developments in New York. A special committee of five appointed to consider the subject spent the day in drafting the report.

The resolutions, which the committee laid before the convention, were adopted after a discussion. They follow, in part: "Life insurance companies generally, as well as those now under investigation, are conceded to be in sound financial condition, and the committee would particularly impress upon policy holders the fact that, notwithstanding the evils and the reprehensible conduct, the solvency of the companies has not been questioned. Recent official investigations of certain life insurance companies have disclosed transactions and practices in their management startling and surpris ing because of such a reprehensible, it not criminal, character, and they are of such character as to call for some expression the convention. "This committee recommends the adoption of a resolution to the effect that it Is the sense of this convention that the reprehensible transactions and practices indulged in by life insuranc? companies herein referred to should and do receive the severe condemnation of this convention, and that the members of. the dbnven-' tion will, to the extent of their power and jurisdiction, aid in tjie promotion of, laws and department regulations that will tend to prevent and punish extravagance and mismanagement in the operation of life insurance companies.

"The committee recommends that a special committee be directed to make an Investigation, and report to the next convention its conclusion, and also to make a formal report, designed to provide for an annua! accounting of dividends by the companies." Mr. Vandiver thought that the resolutions were not strong enough, and he proposed a substitute, which severely criticised the officers of several companies. It was lost, however, by a vote of 27 to 3. The resolutions proposed by the committee were then adopted by unanimous vote. The following officers were elected: President, J.

N. Berry, Michigan; vice president, Theron Upson, Connecticut; secretary, John J. Brinckerhoff, Illinois. Executive committee, Thomas S. Drake, District of Columbia; Frederick L.

Cutting, Massachusetts; J. F. Carroll, Iowa; Roau B. Folk. Tennessee, and A.

I. Vorys, Ohio. The convention adjourned to meet at Washington, D. in 1906. Thomas B.

Drake, superintendent of insurance, who is now attending the annual meeting of State insurance commissioners in Bretton Woods, N. yesterday telegraphed to Commissioner Macfarlaiid that the meeting of that body would be heHl in Washington in 19G5. The matter was informally talked over between Mr. Drake and Commiss oner Macfarland before the superintendent left for thf convention, and the Commissioner expressed a desire that the convention should come here if its members should find it to their liking: to select the Capital as a place of meeting. Mr.

Drake received no formal instructions to invite the body to this city, but carried a verbaV message from the Commissioners that it would be pleasiva; to personally if Washington was chcsen for the next convention AGREE AS TO MOROCCO Franco-German Accord Duly Signed in Paris.

Prom the New York Tribune. Col. J. J. Hayes, chairman of the Vicksburg, citizens' committee of public health, his written the following letter to Mr.

Richard A. MeCurdy, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company in acknowledgment of a contribution to the fund being raised to fight yellow fever in Vicksburg and vicinity: Citizens' Committee of Public Health- Col. J. J. Hayes, chairman; S.

N. Collier, secretary. Vicksburg, Sept. 23, 1905. Ml 1 Richard A.

MeCurdy, President ol the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, New York City, Dear Sir--Your highly valued favor of the Sth instant was duly received and in behalf of our committee I des.re to tender you our sincere thanks for your prompt response to our request for aid. Your reply was all the more acceptable for the reason that several other large life insurance companies declined to aid us, on the ground that they did not feel, authorized to use the society's funds for such a purpose. It is hard for us to understand how any ccmpany can fail to take the same view of the matter which you do. Our association is an organization of business men here who are undertaking to flght the yellow fever under the direction of the Marine Hospital Service It is not a charitable organization in any sense, but rather a commercial body, and it seems to us that no one is more largely interested than life insurance companies in the fight we are making; the loss of the smahest policy holder would cast any life company I much mere a the subscription tor which we ask. We can coiiceivo of no investment that a life company could make which would yield such large returns.

While it might be argued that a life company would establish a precedent by con- th-butlng to a flght of this kind at ont. Place and be, in a measure, obliged to respond to similar requests, we think that, as a business investment, the company could do nothing which would advance its Interests and those of its policy holders so much as to contribute to stamping out an epidemic of yellow fever in eveiy community where it has a policy holder. We beg again to thank you for your letters and contribution. We are glad to report that the fever Is making very slow progress here, and we have eVery encouragement to think that we shall be able to hold In cheek by the vigorous measures which are being carried out under the directions of the Marine Hospital Service. Yours very truly, 4.

J. RELIEVES TEHTSION IN EUROPE Questions Respecting Morocco's Future to Be Submitted to Conference Are Restricted to Exact Limits and France's Special Interests Are Conciliatory Attitude. Paris, Sept. Rouvier and Prince von Radoliii, the German Ambassador, at noon to-day signed the Franco- German accord concerning the Moroccan conference, thus definitely terminating the difficult negotiations. The official text of the accord says: "The negotiations between France ami Germany concerning the programme for the conference on Moroccan affairs has successfully terminated.

Accord is reached upon a programme comprising the organization of the police, the regulation and repression of contraband arms; financial reforms, consisting principally of the organization of a state bank, and also the best means of collecting duties, the creation of new means of revenue, and the determination of principles destir.ed to safeguard the economic liberty of Morocco," The agreement then makes a special of the frontier region between Algiers and Morocco, where the maintenance of police will be regulated directly between France and the Sultan without submission to the conference. The regulation of contraband in the same region also remains for France to determine with the Sultan. The two governments unite in asking that Spain accept Algeciras as the place for the conference. Upon the question of the recent German loan to Morocco, it is agreed that French bankers shall participate with the Germans, and there is to be a similar participation of French firms In building the harbor works at Tangier if a French company offers terms equal to those of the German contractors. Ends Suspense of Months.

The accord arouses the keenest satisfaction here, not only on account of Morocco, but chiefly because it terminates the suspense of months, which threatened to disturb the peace of Europe. Both the foreign office and the German Embassy were equally gratified to close the controversy. The accord is Interpreted as a compromise, In which each side secures advantages. Chancellor von Buelow's proposition to submit the Moroccan questions to a. conference is finally realized, and M.

Rouvier has carried his point of keeping France's special interests i the conference and restricting the remaining question within exact limits. The diplomats consider the result highly advantageous in removing obstacles to a rapprochement between. France and Germany. Commenting on this view the semi-official Temps this evening says: "France does not want an alliance outside of that with Russia, but she is none the less ready to welcome closer relations with other nations. Germany's conciliatory attitude and fln.al concession of a number of contested points is attributed to desire to- promote a better feeling with France and Russia, thus counteracting on the Continent the advantages which Great Britain gains through her new alliance "with Japan." CLEARS TlHE SUEZ CANAL.

Ninety Tons of Dynamite Exploded in Sunken British Steamer. Port Said, Egypt, Sept. wreck of the British steamer Chatham, with her cargo of ninety tons of dynamite and biasing gelatin, was blown up this morning by mines distributed around and inside her hull. These were fired by an olectric current from Raselech, about live miles away. A huge column of water, sand, and chip's wreckage was thrown 2,000 feet in the air, and in falling destroyed 600 feet of the east bank of the canal.

Divers immediately commenced removing the debris. The canal population in the vicinity of i scene of the explosion left early in the morning for the seashore, closing the banks and stores, which were guarded by police. TOO SOON FOR SUBMARINES.

T. Cable, representing the' Holland Submarine Torpedo-boat Company, arrived here yesterday oh the Korea. He went to Japan some months ago to superintend the work of placing'seven submarine boats in working order, and completed the task at the navy yard of Yokoska, near Yokohama, the latter part of June. Mr. Cable said that none ot these vessels was engaged in the battle of the Sea of Japan.

St. Petersburg, Sept. Wltte arrived here at 8:25 a. m. to-day, and was accorded a very hearty reception by a large crowd of officials and others.

In a brief speech, replying to a welcoming address, M. Wltte showed clearly that he was deeply touched by the welcome with which he was received. When he left St. Petersburg in July a small delegation of officials accompanied him to the station to bid him fare-well. There was no public demonstration whatever.

Today there were seven or eight times as many officials despite the, for Russia, very early hour of the train's arrival, and a very enthusiastic crowd of 5,000 or 6,000 people. The crowd had collected near where M. Wltte would descend from the train, and when he appeared they broke out into long and loud cheers, to which M. Wltte bowed acknowledgment. The spokesman then advanced and read the address of welcome, all In the mean- white standing bareheaded.

The address read: "You have accomplished your difficult task, and the nation is grateful to you. You have given the credit for your success to "Emperor Nicholas, President Roosevelt, Emperor William of Germany, and to the press. You have forgotten only' yourself. We, however, fully appreciate your services to your country. The tree you planted at the Washington homestead at Mount Vernon will serve as a.

token of the union between the two nations. You have done much. 1 "For yourself and for those who are absent, we will once more shout a hearty hurrah!" When the cheer had died way, M. Witte, who seemed deeply moved by the sincerity of the welcome, advanced a few steps and delivered his reply. He said: "I -was so little prepared for this kind reception that I must ask your pardon for the incoherence of my words.

I have performed my duty well, because I have fitrictly obeyed his majesty's Instructions, because circumtances favored me, because the world Is weary of this bloody war, because all classes of American society from President Roosevelt down were in sympathy with my and your cause, because I was true to my country and her and our interests." The Russo-Japanese treaty will be signed i the first days of next week. M. Witte will be received at Peterhof and give the Emperor a report on the conference, but the treaty itself will be taken to Peterhof by Count Lamsdorf, whose counter-signature will complete the execution of the instrument. Reports ascribing- to M. Wltte an important misciion to Germany are declared in an inspired article In the B.USS to-day to be destitute of foundation.

"It would have been strange," the paper says, "hai M. Witte traversed Germany and not gone to se" Emperor William and the German fctatesmen, particularly in view of the fact that he was a signatory of the treaty of peace ending a war In which Germany had steadfastly observed a benevolent attitude toward Russia."

TESTIMONY OF ITS MANAGER Transported Insurgent Troops by Bail, He Explains, Because Government Troops Bad 'Received 'Similar Transportation--Furnished Supplies as a Personal Act and to Avoid Trouble. New York, Sept. Bermudez Asphalt Company's railroad transported revolutionary troops in Venezuela during the Matos rebellion in 1901, Its steamer Viking carried revolutionary supplies, and the company's acting' superintendent on more than one occasion g-ave the revolutionists food and supplies.

Testimony to this effect was grlven today by John Perry, who was acting superintendent for the company in 1901, In the suit brought by the Venezuelan government to recover $11,000,000 from the asphalt company because of the company's alleged participation in this revolution. Perry declared, however, that the revolutionary troops were transported only because similar transportation had been accorded the government troops; that the supplies and arms carried on the were smuggled on board by individuals without the company's consent; and that his contributions of food and supplies to the revolutionists was entirely a personal act, and was done to avoid the trouble a refusal would have caused. Jeffs Aided' ren. Matos. Perry said he had been appointed acting superintendent to succeed Supt.

UNREST GROWS IN HUNGARY Proposed Torchlight Procession May Lead to Rioting. Austrians Almost Unanimously for the Crown--Police Prevent Disorder by Dispersing Socialists.
