SEW YORK LIFE GAVE $150,000. Contributed That Ameunt te Hepub- licans the Last Three Years-Bliss Got $45,000 10 Ald Election of Heesevelr, NEW YORK, Sept. 10. -Admitting that in the last three elections the New York Life Insurance company had con- tributed to the Republican national campaign fund nearly $150.00, George W. Perkins, partuer In the firm of J P. Morgan & Co. and vice president of the New York Life lusurance co told the members of the legislative lu vestigating committee in the breath that a law preveuting such con tributions should be enactinl Mr. Perkins’ admissions, followed up by his important suggestion, impressed the committee greatly. After the wit- ness had been excused and the session adjourned until Wednesday the © mittee went into executive session to consider Mr. Perkins’ remarks The most important revelations produced concerning the methods of conducted by insurance conrpanies in this city have been forthooming siuce the committee began its lnguiyy It was Assewblyman Rogers who caused Mr. Perkins to give his opinion regarding the curbing of contributions to campalgu funds. His question was as follows “Is It your view, Mr. Perkins, that contributions to political organizations should be prohibited?” “It most certainly Is my view ™ the answer, “and | thiuk it a pernicious practice that has grown up in that re gard. | think that you gentlemen could do nothing better—among other things which have occurred to me than to en act a law to meet that condition. “l believe that any institution thus paring out mouey should make out a schedule to show what it pays that money out for. | believe that in a coun try like ours that a situation will arise such as arose in the McKinley cam paign, and If we are to contribute 10 cents, 23 cents, 50 cents or $1 of the money of cach policy holder to protect his interests I think when it is done that it should be generally known that it {s done. I think there ought to be a law on that point. It is a Lobby of mine. I think the best way to control these companies Is by the greatest pub city.” “That is what | am trying to get at,” sald Mr. Hughes. “Now, If wo had a law of that na- ture,” Mr. Perkins continued, “I be Heve that It would be justified and that every policy bolder would Indorse It.” “You do not think It safe to leave that to the self restraint of the com- panies themselves?’ “I would put it io a Jdiffercut way. | think It best to leave It to the judg ment of the officers themselves. Now, Mr. Jobo A. McCall Is the best demon stration. He is a Democrat. In the Gret campaign in whieh he was presi dent of the New York Life he did not centribute, because there was nothing at lssue, but when it came to the Meo Kinley campaign he did contribute, al though a Democrat, and he voted for MoKinley. He contributed his own money and the company’s money, be cause he believed there was great peril which threatened the assets of the pol fey holders.” My. Perkins sald positively that all uipauy, ae Hn business was eity contributed to campaign funds at every national election. He sald that eontridbutions made by the company be represents had been In three lots of about $50,000 each The two cam- paign funds of President McKinley | #ot two contributions of $30,000 each, and the Roosevelt and Fairbanks cam- the company. Mr. Perkins sald that the conmtribu- tion had been authorised by Jobn A. personally pald the Roosevelt countribu- tion to Cornelius N. Bliss. The exact sum paid last year was $48,702 50. Mr. Perkius' citation on the witness stand of the affairs of Lis company was at all times interesting. He was continually standing up and eitting fown, showing nervousness and at sther times eagerness to let himself be heard all over the room Evening Papers Consolidate.
