Fails In Endeaver te Be Fut
In Penitentiary.
NEW YORK, July 20. —After an lo
terview with Justice White of the
United States supreme court at Narra:
geusett Pier, R. 1, Louls A. Goundain,
the former alleged lottery agent who is
trying te be readmitted to the Jollet
(IiL} penitentiary, from which he was
recently released by a pardon, deciding
that his effort to get his petition filed
with the supreme oourt of the United
States was uscless, left Narragausett
Pler and has returned to New York.
GQourdain requested Judge White to
order the clerk of the supreme court jo
scoept bis petition for readmission to
the penitentinry, but the justice inform-
od him that the clerk was perfectly
right in his refusal to recelve the peti-
tiem without a special order of the
eourt.
and his visitor was a pleasant one, n<
Justice White was formerly acquainted
with Gourdain's father and Louth came
from La Fourche parish, louisiana.
After a friendly talk of personal mat-
ters Gourdain introduced the subject
of his errand, saying that he had pre
sented at the office of the clerk of the
supreme court in Washington a petition
asking for his return to the penitentiary
and the clerk bad declined to receive it
n the ground that there must be an
order of court.
ix the. petition, Gourdain explained,
he had set forth that during bis trial he
had given his word that if convicted he
would not appeal from the sentence,
but iu seme mysterious way as attor
ney had jutervened and Lad secured a
pardos for Goundalu, which the latter
at the sarnext solicitation of his wife
bad accepted by signing the required
bond.
Afterward, Goundain explained, he
repented of his action, as he cotisidered
bis bamor involved because of his prom.
ise made in court prier to his conviec-
tion, and be therefore desired to be
returned te the penitentiary.
With voluntary imprisontwent in the
Joliet penitentiary as his one alm and
object in life, Gourdain was fnduced to
remain at liberty and to sit down to an
elaborate breakfast In bis sumptuous
apartments at the Hotel Savoy.
As be belped himself to raspberries
be sighed dejectedly at the crue! fate
that denied him prison fare and ut
tered solemn vows that as Justice
White of the United States supreme
court would not reinstate him as a
convict he would go back to Joliet and
at once begin the building of a prison
of his own, where he could serve out
he sentence of four years and six
months imposed upon him by United
States Judge Landis of Chicago and of
which he was deprived through the
treachery of bis lawyer.

A rival te the Louisiana state lottery.
His system was simplicity Itself, Gour-

“The receipts,” be explained com-
lagsntly, “were anywhere from $800,-
to §1.500,000 a menth. As I paid
my agents 25 per cent commission and
the state lottery only pald theirs 10
per cent, | naturslly sold more tickets
than the state lottery Ald. I didn't
have to pay amything for advertising
the winning numbers, the state lottery
publishing theirs for me, and I also
paved the expense of the drawings,
“When I first started 1 offered to pay
ihe state a bonus of $40,000 a year, just

refused, so 1 spent the $40,000 for
lawyers and detectives and went on

PRUDENTIAL PUT UP FOR CAMPAIGNS
Management of Company Judged It
Was te Interest of Stockholders
te Fay Contributions Fer
Politieal Purposes.
NEWARK, N. J. July 20 -Benator
Jom ¥. Dryden, president of the Pru-
dential Insurance company, was the
first witness to testify before the state
seuate insurance |nvestigation commit-
tee. He gave the Listory of the Pru-
dential company and told bow be had
been turned down by Governor Hofl-
wan of New York when be tried to get
A charter in that state before coming
to New Jersey because the business he
proposed te do was to be other than
straight line insurance.
Under the original charter In New
Jersey, Senator Dryden said, the mem-
bers had the right to votes, but they
had not exercised that right.
“Were they Informed of their right
or given uotice of meetings?’ asked
Senator Minturn, a member of the
committee.
“That was not necessary.”
Speaking on the matter of the big
surplus of the company, Senator Dry-
den said that from 1807 up to the pres
ent time they had turned over $8300,
000 to the policy holders while they
really were not bound to turn over a
cent,
The witness was questioned about
his salary of $85000 a year and the
large salaries of other officers of the
company and was asked whether he
did not think that these salaries tend.
od toward extravagance. His reply
was: - ’
“Abllity commands price, and every
big enterprise iu the country Is look-
ing for men who can achieve.”
Senator Dryden was examined along
the lines of his statements before the
Armstrong committee In New York
and some of his assertions were gone
Into wore fully than on that occasion.
He sald that the Prudential company
hind contributed $6,000 to the Repub-
lican national committee in 1868 and
io 1900 had contributed $10,000 and
that the larger amount was donated
again in 1004.
“Senator, do you think It was right
to give the policy holders’ money
away for campaign purposes?’ asked
State Senator Minturn.
“The policy holders never had & ceat
of interest in that money. It belonged
to the sharehelders,” replied the wit-
ness.
“How do you discriminate? You tes
tified that the surplus belonged to the
policy holders and not to the stock:
holders.”
“What was applied to the credit of
the policy holders was voted to them
by the directors,” sald Senator Dry-
den.
“And you considered the act of giv-
lug that money to the Republican com-
mittee justifiable?”
“The management of the company Is
charged with the respousibility of the
company, and If In the judgment of the
directors conditions are likely te be
brought about that would tend te de-
stroy the company's assets or lmpair
them It Is the duty of the management
to protect It.”
Senator Dryden was the enly wit
ness, but during the time he was on
the stand Colonel A. R. Kuser became
a sort of informal witness and told of
the formation and fnanclug of the
South Jersey Gas and Electrie com-
pany, of which the Prudential holds
some $8,000,000 bonds. Colonel Kuser's
statements were to show that the of-
flcers of the Prudential company did
not personally benefit by the transac
tion. Senator Dryden was also asked
about this and said be was positive
that neither himself nor any officer or
director beoeSited persomally by the
transaction.
