SHOWING IN THE SHIPBUILDING CASE ve of Corpora t lea Treat Com. "fhe Voted to Bay Factories ,d o Wlthoot Knowlasj What He Bsaikt. - 'ft .;'.'' ' NEW YORK. Oct. 15-When the ship building Investigation was begun today Frederick Seward, formerly one of the di rectors of the United States Shipbuilding company and an employe of the Corpora tion Trust company, was called to the Gt.ind. He became a director of the ship building company In 1902, at the request of Mr. Dcmlng of Alexander ft Green. The witness could not sy why Dcmlng wanted him to act. The witness ssld he acted as on Incorporator for from fifty to seventy five companies, while lie was employed by the Corporation Trust company. He had act-d as director of ten of the fifteen com panlfs. Mr. t'termyer examined Mr. Seward at length as to the circumstances attending the issue to lilm of a temporary certifi cate of stock, upon which lie qualified as director. The purpose of the extended showing as to the acts of the so-called "dummy" di rectorate formed In New Jersey when the shipbuilding company was 11 rut organized has not yet been disclosed, but It is snid that the bonilholdfra of the receiver may attack the legality of the acts of the first board. These acts Include the Increase of the capital stock and the acquirement of the constituent companies. The witness sa-id that lie personally paid nothing for his share of stock, and he did not know if anyone else had paid for it. He under stood, however, that the share of stock be longed to him.' He endorsed the share of stock In blank and surrendered It to one of the employes of the Corporation Trust company, receiving no pay. He did not know what became of It. I'rocrecflags Were nictated. In answer to Mr. Utermeyer. Mr. Stew ard testified that he understood a "dummy' director to be a "temporary" director and throughout the examination the witness insisted, on referring to himself as a "tem porary" director. There was a sharp wranglo between counsel occasioned by the witness handing Mr. Guthrie his sub poena in order to chow that he was one of the complainants witnesses. Mr. T'ter moyer protested that Mr. Guthrie had no right to take .the paper, and Mr. Guthrie Insisted that the record show the character of the paper given him. The witness said he had seen Mr. Demlng of Alexander Green several times while acting as direc tor, but could not recall any of their con versation. He was given the minutes of the first directors' meeting before the meet ing was held. The minutes were a resume of what was to be done. They Included nJI of the documents and resolutions ready to be passed. The proceedings were put through without change. The witness said that he and his co-directors voted for the acceptance of the offer contained In th minutes. . Seward said be had never heard of John W. Toung before that meeting. He also paid that lie did not at that time know the business of the Hyde Windlass com pany. Aside from the papers he knew nothing of the Canada company. He ac cepted the papers that were submitted to him because they came from reliable persons. , He did not know of the firm of Moore & Sons and did not know whether he had voted to acquire their plant while he was acting as director of the shipbuilding company. The witness said he had placed no valuation on the plants separately. He said he had. however, placed a val uation on the whole group of yards and Mr. Ctermeyer asked him how he could value the whole If he had not valued the plants. The witness said he had tsken the the report of the accountants on th vol uatlon. Voted aa He Was Told. Mr. Seward was continued on the stand when the hearing went on In the afternoon and Mr ftermeyer sought to show that he voted as a director simply as he was told by the attorneys of the corporation and that he had possessed no knowledge as to the value of the 'several properties which he voted to purchsse. The witness would not admit that he had blindly fol lowed Instructions while a director and Insisted that he had acted as his own judgment dictated, accepting the assurance of persons In whom he had faith when he voted to buy the property which the com pany acauired. When the witness passed to the other side for cross-examination Mr. Guthrie handed him the minute books of the stock holders and the directors, and the wit ness, reading from them, recited the sev eral elections snd changes af officers made by the company and then the books, with a copy of the original proposal made by John W. Toung.' were offered In evidence. Redirect examination of Seward brought out th fact that for his services as director for the shipbuilding company he had been paid the sum of 130. Iter, when Mr. Vn termyer asked him If be would have voted the same If it had been proposed to issue tlTl.OilO.Ooa worth of securities. Instead of $71. OUO.000. the witness refused to answer. Mr. Guthrie had objected to the question aa Im material and in the end it was agreed to certify the question to the court after coun sel had exchsnged sarcaam on th subject. Did Nat Pay for Shares. Horace S. Oould of the Corporation Trust company, who said that he had acted as in corporator for lou or more companies, was the uext witness. He had two shares of stock in the shipbuilding company, but did not pay for them himself. He said that he had no personal Interest In the company and that he had probably had the two aharea of stock long enough to endorse them and hand them back to the Corporation Trust company. Kenneth McLaren, secretary of the Cor poration Trust company, was the next wit ness of the day. He said that his corpora tion had five directors, but could only name three of them. He was sure, however that neither Max Pam nor Charles M. Schwab had any Interest in the concern. He was one of the incorporators of the shipbuilding company, but could not tell who had asked him to become an incorporator. He had two shares of stock, but did not pay for them and had no pecuniary Interest In the ship building company. The hearing went over until next Wed nesday. October a. and Lewis Nixon will take th stand. He was sworn st the close of the bearing today, but did not giv any testimony. Threes h Sleep! ag Car ervleo. CHICAGO.

SMALL NUMBER REGISTER Unusually Liglt Turnout All Over City n Tint Day. APATHY GREATEST AMONG DEMOCRATS Retora no Kot Compare at All with IBat Tear, hat Clreamataarea Warrant Mara of Fall lag oar. The registration of voters yesterday, so far as shown by Incomplete returns, was remarkably small as compared with that of the first registration day of last year. This is not surprising, however, when the com parative circumstances are taken Into con sideration. Last year the fight was fierce on certain nominees and a state congres sional election was In progress besides, ao that both great parties and even the minor onts were doing their utmost to get out a heavy vote. This year only one state officer, a supreme court Judge, is to be elected, the other contests bring within the county. The weather, too, during the greater portion of the day yesterday was unfavorable. Aa will be seen from the Incomplete figures below the falling off Is greater among the democrats than republicans. The "no answer" column, it will be ob served. Is very small, while the populists and socialists arc almost out of the running. The light registration Is confined to no particular ward, but Is general throughout the city. FIRST WARD. No District. Rep. Dcm. Soc Pop. Ans. Tot. First : SB .. .. 10 H2 Second iS 17 .. ..
