SALARY PASSING
Epidemic of Reductions Strikes
American Financial World.
STEEL COMBINE SETS PACE,
Farrell Given $50,000 as President as
Against ,$100,000 Received by Corey.
Equitable Life to Shave Morton's
$80,C00 to Prevailing Insurance Sti
pend of $50,000.
There appears to be an epidemic of
lowering the big salaries of the In
dustrial and financial world these days.
The steel trust showed Its symptoms,
and now comes further evidence In
the Equitable Life Assurance society's
intention to pay its president 50,000
Instead of 580,000.
Tho death of I'aul Morton, president
f tho Equitable, has furnished op
portunity for the reduction. It was
said the trustees probably will Insist
n the lower salary when electing his
successor on tho theory that $30,000
would bo sufficient to command the
services, of the ablest man In the life
insurance business. Those who took
this view pointed to the fact that
Charles A. Peabody, president of (tie
Mutual Life Insurance company, wiw
drawing only $50,000 n year,
Corey's Pay Cut In Half.
This followed the news that the sal
ary of James A. Farrell, new president
f tho United States Steel corporation,
would .be $50,000 n year instead of
$100,000, which had been paid to W. E.
Corey, tho retiring president. Those
who know say that $50,000 hereafter
will be about tho maximum pay of
eorporatlon officers iu the United
States.
When Morton assumed the presiden
cy of the Equitable in 1005 the salary
f the president was $100,000 a year.
That amount hod been paid for years
to James W. Alexander, and It was
supposed that Morton would receive
the same amount. Because of the pub
lic agitation respecting the high cost
of insurance management In the Unit
ed States and the unpleasant disclo
sures attending the Armstrong investi
gation In 1903, however, he asked that
his salary bo cut 20 per cent, in order
that he might nsk other officers In the
Equitable to accept similar reductions.
With the possible exception of the
presidents of one or two banks and
trust companies, there Is not a finan
cial institution in Wall street whl h
reimburses its president at a higher
salary than $50,000 a year. One trust
eompauy. In addition to paying a $30.
COO salary, gives tho president n hand
Bomo bonus at tho year end.
Investigation Shaved Salaries.
Thero has been an extraordinary
change in corporation manageme
since the days of the insuraueo invest i
gatlon In 1003, when IUehnrd A. M
Curdy, testifying before tho Armstvonjr
committee, told how ho had been pleas
antly surprised one day on hearing
that tho salaries committee of the Mu
tual Life had, without any suggestion
from him, raised his salary from $100.
000 a year to $150,000. McCurdy ad
mitted that ho- was pleased at this no
tion, but that he had received the In
formation as a matter of course ami
only felt honored because ho would re
ceive tho highest salary paid to the
president of any life Insurance com
pany in tho United States.
The salary of McCurdy probably will
stand out for all time as tho maximum
paid to any insurance president in the
world.
Outside of Now York city a $50.00')
salary, In the words of a Wall street
man discussing the subject, "looks n.i
big ns n bouse." With tho exception
of one or two bank presidents in Chi
cago, no bank officer in the west re
ceives more than $35,000 n year.
FISHING DANGEROUS CALLING
Outranks All Others For Last Year
Say Insurance Men.
Insurance agents have figured on;
tho most dangerous occupation for the
year Just passed. It isn't working l-i
a powder mill or dynamlto factory, as
many supposo, or railronding. It la
shown that tho highest percentage of
fatality Is found among tho fishermen
along the New England coast, where
12 per cent of the -total number em
ployed go to their death every year.
Tho mortality among railway work
era is about 8 per cent Tho number
of deaths duo to accidents of occupa
tion among all wage earners is be
tween 30,000 and 35,000. The non
fatal accidents exceed 2,000,000.

The Humor of Morgan.
J. Pierpont Morgan is gifted with a
great deal more of humor than is gen
erally known. Nut long ago while In
London ho was introduced to a woman
who made some pretentions to peerage.
"Pardon me," said tho woman haughti
ly. "To which Morgan' do you belong?"
"Oh, we are nn Independent branch,"
replied Mr. Morgan slyly, "but wo date
back to tho Norman kings." "Ah, then
you have a coat of arras!" Mr. Mor
gan dug down into his pocket and
brought forth a shining American twen
ty dollar gold piece. "This," he said,
"is our coat of arms. A few other
families have adopted the samo em
blem. But," he continued confidential
ly, "wo nre gathering them in as fast
as possible."

THE REALM
Rich Jewel Effects.
It is doubtful If thero has ever been
season in which such nttentlon has
been given to harmony of effects. Usu
ally precious stones have appeared In
gold settings regardless of what ef
fect they would creato with tho fasti
ionnble gowns, but this season sil
ver Jewelry has been designed to har
monize with tho dull and artistic tones
of the modish costume, which is usual
ly trimmed with dark metallic lace.
Ancient nnd odd designs copied from
original Bohemian ornaments nnd aluo
from the barbaric Russian models nre
important features of a costume this
wjnter and give tho dash of originality
that makes n gown so fascinating.
Stones that are not counted among
tho expensive jewels often have a
brilliancy of color that makes them
extremely effective as a decorative

motif, especially when mounted In sil
ver. This is particularly notlceahlo
when they are formed into hatpins,
When worn in a fur or velvet hat they
are very effective. It is a fad this sea
son to have hatpin, brooch nnd bolt
buckle to match in stones and setting.
Tho eastern and barbaric color ef
fects have been developed in bead
work, and the metallzed nets this sea
son and often an entire blouse are
made of brilliant net, which in turn H
covered with a lattice-like effect of
beadwork in the richest colors. A rich
design is shown in the sketch. It U
quite new nnd illustrates the use of
beads, braid and jewels. It is (level
oped in crepe do chine, nnd the lower
part of tho bodice and tho sleeves aro
incrusted .with beads nnd braid. Tho
neck Is trimmed with narrow gold
braid and crystal jewels.
SPRING STYLES IN
SEPARATE SKIRTS
Hew Models Fit Tightly Over
Hips and Flare at Bottom.
While the new models In separate
skirts are not actually wide, they are
much fuller than the skirts that have
been worn during tho past season.
The fit is still smooth nt tho top, but
thero Is a decided flare about tho feet
which the majority of women will fully
appreciate, for few wear the extremely
narrow skirts gracefully.
Plaited separate skirts are not uo-
tieeahlo among tho new spring models.
The two main features are a smooth
straight up and down effect and a de
cided flare about the feet either by
means of cut or tho addition of n
flounce. Tho latter may bo circular,
gathered or plaited, depending entire
ly upon the kind of material to ho de
veloped. Clack only Is seen in tho
more expensive materials. These aro
broadcloth and the finer serges. In the
cheaper grades tho skirts come In gray,
brown and navy blue as well as black.
In tho separate skirts of tweed mix
tures of tan and brown prevail.
Among tho newest styles oue that
will bo exceedingly popular because of
Its good Hues Is cut on the circular or
der, but with seams Instead of tho bias
over tho hips.
This makes the model practical for
all around wear, because there can bo
no sagging. The average circular skirt
of walking length Invariably sags, but
the seams over the hips In this new
model prevent drooping. The back is
in habit style, with a welt seam. The
seams over tho hips aro welt also.
The closing Is a little to the left side
front and is made by a row of buttons
passed under cords.
Tho pattern for this skirt is In three
pieces only and Is a design that might,
taslly be copied at home from a short
length of material.
The Wheel Motif.
Ilugo filigree and jeweled wheel mo
tifs now ornnment gowns. They are
made of bid gold filigree like fret
work, incrusted with giant sapphires
and imitation stones nnd linked to
gether with heavy chains of beads and
gold flllgreo balls.
