Banta, cashier of the New York Life 'nsurance com pany, testified that about the begin ping of 11 Edmund D. Randolph, treasurer of the company, opened the vaults of the company, removed New York city stock valued at $700,000 and put a check of the Central National bank for $700,000 ln its place. Mr Banta sald he helped to open the vaults at the order of Mr. Randolph and that he supposed Mr. Randolph acted for the fluauce committee. Tle stock was kept out for a few days and was then returned and the check withdrawn The transaction was not recorded on the books of the company so far as Mr. Banta knew, The effect of the operation would be that any one hav- ing that stock would have $700,000 worth of untaxable property at the end of the year. Mr, Banta did not know who received the stock. Mr. Randolph is expected to be called to the stand shortly. . George W. Perkins, vice president of the New York Life Insurance company aud member of the firm of J. PP. Morgnn & Co, bankers, described to the com- mittee the transaction which resulted in his receipt of $40,193 from Kidder, Peabody & Co. of Boston as half the profits of the sale of $2.000,000 worth of bonds of the Mexican Central Rall road company. Milton M. Mattison, a bookkeeper of the New York Life Insurance company, had previously testified that $030,000 of the life jusur- ALCe company’s money was used in the transaction and that Mr Perkias got the profit. Mr Perkins said that he went into the transaction for the Nylic fund, which [3s owned by the agents of the New York Life Insurance com- pany, and that Le invested the profits for that fund The life Insurance com pany, he sald, profited to the extent of 5 per cent interest on the loan of $430, 000. He stated that the company had no right to the $40,163 profits Mr. Perkins sald also that J, P. Mor. gan & Co. had taken up uotes of Ap drew Hamilton and E. E. McCall, for merly justice of the New York state supreme court, amounting to $36.310 at the request of President John A McCall of the New York Life Insur ance compaoy, aud that the amount with Interest was paid to Andrew Hamilton by the New York Life In- surance company from the proceeds of a syndicate ino United Btates Steel cor poration stock. President John A. McCall told the committee that he had told the Central National bank and E. E. McCall that Hamilton was good for $50.000 and that they bad theu taken Hamil on's notes. President McCall sald the New York Life Insurance company owed Hamilton the $50,310 aud took the syu- dicate profits to pay him The result was that the payment did not appear on the books of the company. The rea- son was that he wanted to keep Ham- iltou's expenses down. Much evidence was given both by Mr. Perkins and President McCall about the New York Security and Trust company's participation in the United States Steel corporation syndl cate to the extent of $3,250,000, having the deposits of the New York Life In- surance company for about that amount. The New York [Life Insur ance company got T8 per cent of the profits, and Mr. Perkins contended that it was a safe and profitable ven- ture.
