- '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.

dent for ltearlert of
Dwty.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The president,
upon the recommendation of the attorney
general, has removed Marshal Fred A.
Field of the district of Vermont for derelic
tion of duty In permitting the escape at
Providence, R. I., of three Chinamen en
trusted him for deportation.
The prisoners, who escaped with eleven
others, wer under sentence of deporta
tion and wer conducted to Providence, R.
I., on th evenlnr .of June and placed
on board a steamer at that point some time
prior to that time. At t o'clock the mar
shal left the boat and returned to Boston,
leaving the prisoner In charge of Ms son,
who was acting aa .deputy, to, accom
pany the prisonera to Sar Francisco.
before leaving them the marshal Informed
his eon thst two men on the boat, whom he
claims had been pointed out to him as
proper persons, but whom he had never
seen before, might assist him if necessary
and that be might leave the prisoners In
their charge while he went to supper.
The deputy did so and upon his return
from supper found thst the two men and
the three prisoners bad escaped. The mar
shal claimed these two men had been
pointed out by the agent of the railroad
company with whom the government had
arranged for their trip across the continent.
The agent positively denies this state
ment and without passing upon the ques
tion of veracity raised by this denial, the
attorney general was of the opinion that
upon the marshal's own story he was
guilty of culpable negligence as to call for
bis Immediate removal In the Interests of
tha service.

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.
