DIVIDENDS ESTIMATED, NOT CANTED
Distribution of Profits to Policy
holders Depend I boo J aug
ment of Aetaary, Say
Mr. McCllntock.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-More startling than
the testimony before the legislative com
mit te Investigating the methods of the In
surance companies to-day was the an
nouncement by President Richard, A. Mc-
Curdy of the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany that a meeting of the board of trustees
of his company had been appointed to In
vestigate the company and Its methods.
The members of the committee are:
William H. Truesdale, Effingham B. Morris
John W. Auchincloss, ail prominent In the
financial and business world. This ac
tion was taken at a meeting of the board
to-day and waa a result of the Insurance
Investigation. The matter waa brought be
fore the board by Mr. McCurdy and the
committee, will begin work at once.
Eqnltable Net Receipts Increase.
A still more important development was
the statement issued to-day by President
Morton of the Equitable Life showing that
the receipts of that company for the nine
months of this year exceeded th expendi
tures by flrt.723.lH7, an increase of over
$500,000 compared with the same period last
year. Receipts from premiums on policies
for the third quarter this year were over
$1,000,000 less than 1904. The expenses of
the third quarter of thla year were $839,918
eM tnan laBt yar but for the flrBt ilx
months there was an Increase over last
year of $414,943.
After an entire day given over to exami
nation of Emory McCllntock, actuary of
the Mutual Life company, and to the read
ing of column after column of figures, the
legislative committee adjourned until No
vember 8, the day after the municipal elec
tions. This extended adjournment was taken to
enable the commltttee who are candidates
for re-election to, the assembly to meet
their constituencies and conduct their
campaigns.
McCllatock oa Dividends. .
The testimony of Mr. McCllntock was of
technical nature. A number of his ex
planations brought out the fact that his
Ideas were In many respects at variance
with the established methods of Insurance
companies, and that of his own company
In particular. This was especially apparent
when the subject of deferred dividend poli
cies were being Inquired Into. He said
the word "deferred" waa ambiguous and
misleading, as it implied that dividends
were accumulating or were paid at the end
of each year. The company, he said, re
served the right when It wrote a policy
to say what amount should be apportioned
at the end of each dividend period.
Mr. McCllntock also aaid he was strongly
in favor of limiting the amount of business
a 'company should write. He said an at
tempt had been made to come to an agree
ment with the New York Life and the
Equitable to limit the amount of business
done by each company to $1,000,000,000. This
was finally Increased to $1,600,000,000, but
James H. Hyde of th Equitable first de
clined to enter the agreement and then
George W. Perkins of the New York Life
objected. Mr. Hyde's reason waa his am
bition to make the Equitable the largest
Insurance company In the world. Mr. Mc-
Cllntock thought a law limiting the amount !
.
of business would be a good thing and felt
sure the Mutual Life would tender. Its sup
port to such legislation. -
These views are contrary to those ex
pressed by President. McCdrdy of the
Mutual when he was on the stand. Mr.
McCurdy did not think that any company's
business should be limited even at the point
when that business failed to be profitable to
the company. '
Mr, McCllntock also thought that a law
compelling the declaration of dividends at
stated periods would be unwise;
Dividend Are Estimated.
As to the method of computing the divi
dends that should- be paid on a policy he
said the apportionment was made upon his
Judgment. It was not a matter of accurate
calculation, out was oasea on me experi-
ence of previous years. The Interest esrned
by the company or the increase in the mar
ket valuation of the securities held by the
company, Mr, McCllntock said, were not
taken Into 'consideration in apportioning
these dividends. He said that in 1903, when
tho dividends were reduced, the market
value of tha company'a securities had de-
creased. In 1904, however, the securities
ros in vaiue so mm o.wu.uw. ioi oy me
decrease the year before, were regained
and $1,000,000 In addition. The dividends were
not Increased for 1904, yet they were not
cut. He wax still on the stand at adjourn
ment. '
Ilttl'R ANCE QlEsTIO IS PRESENTED
Connectleat Board of Trade Heara
Report from Its Committee.
HARTFORD. Conn., Oct. 36. At ?i meet
ing of the State Board of Trade held here
today the report of the committee of under
writers on the proposed federal supervision
of Insurance was presented.
The report says that the occasion for
present action on the matter is due to a
letter upon the subject from Senator Dry
den, asking for expressions of opinion and
answers to his inquiries.
The report says that it is conceded that
federal supervision of Insurance run be
accomplished In but one way, namely, by
a constitutional law declaring Insurance to
b commerce; and also, that If Insurance
is not commerce, congress has not xwer
proposed regulation of power rests oti these
pruuuBiiiuiia
The report continues:
It is sought to establish federal control
of Insurance and to tak the chances on
the constitutional quemtlons. through a bill

FLURRY ON C0T70N MARKET
Government Report on Cotton binned
Crentea Considerable Excitement
la New York.
NEW YORK. Oct. a.-The report of the
census bureau Issued today giving the
amount of cotton ginned to October It aa
4 40,7 bales, against .417.S91 bales to the
same date last year, caused sensational
fluctuations In the late session of today's
cotton market. Before the report waa Is
sued the market had been very nervous
and unsettled owing to rumors that the
report would show fully $.000,000 bales
ginned and prices Just before the report
wss Isvved showed a net los of about
1S'20 points, with January selling at 10.S3C.
THE V A 1.1 10 Of CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How I sefal It Is
la Preserving Heajtk and Reaaly.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest alid most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a rertiedy that the more you
take of It the better; It is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and im
purities always present in the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables; '
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
furthtr acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic
. It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably : the best charcoal
and the most for the money la In Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges.'. They are composed of
the finest powdered willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form,
of, rather, in the form of large, pleasant
tasting losenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey. .
The dally use of these losenges will soon
tell In a much Improved Condition of th
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
it is that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on th contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: advls
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients
suffering from gas In the stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; I
also believe the - liver Is greatly benefited
by th dally use of, them, they cost but
26 cent a box at drug stores, and although
In some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charodal In
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges' thaa In any of
tbo ordinary charcoal tablets."
Inside of ten minutes after the figures
were published January shot up $7 points
to 10.70c, and eve it with th highest point
of yesterday morning. The market was
feverishly excited 'with aborts active buy
ers and longs taking on fresh lines on
small crop theories.' Of! th bulge leading
bears became very aggtesslve, however,
and the market reacted almost as rapidly
a It had advanced."
NEW ORLEANS, Oct.' 25.-Wben the re
port of the census bureau' Was read show
ing how muoh cotton hall -been ginned up
to October 18 pMres shot tip 4483 points
higher than the lowest- 6f the day, or as
much as $3.16 per bale' "December, at 1:10
p. m., was 10. fce; January, 1.0.74c, 44 points
higher, and March. 1030, 63 points higher.
The report effectually controverted the
false report sent out earlier in the day.

neighbors. He declared that he did not
bellev a millionaire waa a hostile element
In ft community necessarily, nor a persAn
to be always used as a horrible example
for th youth of the country. The fact
that a man possessed a million does not
necessarily mean that he has lived ft life
of crime, and he believed that a man could
accumulate any number of millions honestly
because we have s'uch instruments ready
at hand to make It possible In this day and
age. .:.
.Mr. Sherman took the position that ther
was nothing hurtful In ft corporation In
Itself. There were gootl and bad corpora
tions, just as there are good and bad men.
He deplored the sectional animosity that
the west displayed toward the east be
cause of the disclosures of corporation ras
cality In Wall street. New York, and
La Salle street, Chlcagd. He said that
the west had sold the east about as many
shares' of mining stock as . the east had
disposed of watered stock In corporations.
The only difference was that the eastern
people "didn't holler when they got hit.
They 'kept quiet. It hurt just as bad aa
you felt, but It was internal," he said. Just
because one man In a community Is ft horse
thief is no reason for calling every resi
dent a thief, and just because there was
one lawless corporation In a town gave no
cause for calling them all law breakers.
Do Not Destroy Corporation.
The apeaker insisted that we ought not
to destroy the corporation. Simply reduce
Ik to a law-obeying basis. Railroads ar
necessary agencies. Every shipper Is en
titled to an equa' opportunity. The roads
ought to be open to every man on equal
terms. He did not bellev much in legis
lative control. State legislatures, he said,
were the weakest branch, of government
and the least to be trusted and he had
been ten' years ft member of one. Control
bit therii was Ineffective. . They responded
to ground swells, but their energies were
spasmodic. Courts were created to settle
all differences, and they can settle this
question. Carriers must submit the ques
tion of reasonable rates and rebates to
shippers. He was against government
ownership. .
' He said that his way would be not to de
stroy these monopolies, but to treat them
as' monopolies,. They are the development
of, .competition,, of the . operation of the
laws of nature, and Can't be crushed out,
fta maHy deWiand." "
"I think they will become more and more
monopolies. I ' believe that the railroads
wlir get still closer together and control
be more and more centralised. I look upon
this as Inevitable, and I think they should
be so treated. Let the government treat
them as monopolies. There is no socialism
there. Regulative monopoly must be the
metfiod of the future. . Compel them to
furnish service at reasonable rates or fix
a" maximum of' charges, just aa you do
fpr your municipal monopolies. ' This is not
socialism,; but one of the purposes of gov
ernment.'' This afternoon Chancellor Andrews spoke
on what better knowledge of agriculture
and It application had done for Nebraska.
. Wattles oa Loan.
O. W, Wattles of Omaha spoke on "Safe
Loans." His address was delivered at the
morning session. , He said in part:
The greatest problem which any banker
has to solve Is how to make safe loans,
Bliow me a bank where the loans are clean
and good and I will show you a successful .
Institution. The losses on bad loans during ;
the last business depression will teach a
I .... V. 1 1A.AM . t V. l.mn,.m . V, I
ture. Perhaps the greatest losses came to j
tne city Dana inrougn loans secureu ai
rectly or indirectly on city real estate.
Other serious losses were made by granting
excessive loans to new and untried buai
nees ventures, which did not have sufficient
capital behind them.. In their anxiety for
business banks granted to customers what
was known as "lines of credits," which
means that banks agreed to loan certain 1
amounts to business men, which they could ;
invest In their business as capital, and I
which they would not be called upon to pay
back for an indefinite period. This fruitful
source of loss Is still practiced by some
banks, but must be discarded by the banker
of the future, who must loan his depositors'
money for the temporary needs of business
only, and never to a borrower who must go
out of business to pay it back. There are
many business men in th west today who
are doing too much business on their capital
invested, and what they need is more paid
up capital stock, not mora borrowed money.
No Gueaslna; Now.
But how is the banker to know the finan
cial conditions of his customers? He may
have been able to guess fairly accurately
in the past, but we have passed tt6 sge
of guesswork, and he must in the future
act only on knowledge. A business man
who will not dlBcloaa to his banker an
accurate statement In writing of his finan
cial condition will not be able to borrow
of the auccessful banker of the future.
An honest man Is never offended when
requested to show his hooks to the. banker
and to furnish him with all necesstry In
formation from which he can act with
knowledge. A business man has no right
to expect his bank to take a business
chance. A banker has no right. Wal or
n oral, to knowingly take chances with his
depositors' funds. The banker of th
future will require borrowers to maintain
balances which will Justify their loans. He
will require collateral In all caa-s where
the condition of the borrower Joes not
warrant credit without, or where the bor
rower is acting as trustee or custodian
for others snd borrows for tha btmellt of
his clients or customers. Among ih latter
may be classed banks and bankers who
borrow for the temporary demands of their
depositors. He will assist the borrower
and the borrower will anslai himself by se
curing such chanres in the laws of tha
stat aa will make It possible to plrdee
grain and other rarm products aa security
for loins, for all our people mus .oon learn
that the better h security and Hie more
strlntrent the collection law, the lower the
rate of interest will be. Perhaos I he best
security for loans In Nebraska is grain
and other food products. These commodi
ties ran always be sold for cssh, but as
yet eur laws ar imperfect in th manner
of pledging the products. .
