Field has tnaititained 'and eritlcired

There can be only one construction to
fllaee on sueh 'financing and that is 'that
ae operaiinB; expenses nave Deen Dur
dened with excessive costs."
In defending the practise McLean
Mid: ? If, Instead of carrying our
dwn -insurance, "we insured with an in-,
uraae'e company and paid to that com
pany in premiums the amount we ha've
credited to our own - insurance fund,
tint company would hove earned the
entire amount of our insurance fund
ia Dremiuran and would hv ntl.t It
out imdiviJenris to its atockholder'ta
stead bf to the stockholders of ih Inter-Island.
Ou Aanm Any Lou
"We have sufficient nswt to as
sume' any loss to our vessels. If our
stockholder choose to assumo the
risk they should bave the right to par-'
tfeipate in ,the profits of that insur
ance. "If the Inter-Island accumulates in
the Insurance fund more than is neces
sary to take care of the risk on tha
steamers it is up to the directors of the
OXmip'any and it is their right to dis
pose of the extra accumulations in this
fund for the' benefit of the stockhold
er." .Another point that stood dearly out
Of " the mate of technicalities was
Field 's criticism of the company's clas
sification bf accounts. His report
stoWs that one bf four accounts into
which the company's expenses are kept
in a Sundries Account and of several
sub-divisions of this account is one
headed Sundry Kxpenset. Into this ac
count, declared Field, Sundries Account
-Sundry Expenses, during the three
and a half years ending Junei30, 191(T,
was charged $087,038.11.
Would Segregate Account
Field recommends that the account be
segregated into several, accounts. Most
of the charges to it, he declared yester
dsy, are abitrary charges and should
be classified Under their separate heads.
McLean's dofenne was that extension
of the segregation eould go on endless
ly and Only cluttered up the books.
Field again pointed out that the com
pany should have actual sums set aside
in cash or negotiable instruments to
represent the various reserve or fety
funds such a depreciation or insurance.
McLean answered with bit explanation
that the sum in surplus at all time
represented these reserves. ,
Field then presented figures to show
that on June 30, 1900, the company 'a
cash surplus was wiped, out entirely
when the balance id surplus, $148,.
800.85, was appropriated for part of a
stock dividend. At the tame time the
balance on the books in th insurance
fund was 140,58 1.45. In addition
Field declared on December 31, 1915,
the company bad but 000,000 of liquid
assets, not sufficient to cover tha
amount In the books as balance in the
reaerv fund. Field said:
Field's Objections
"My objection to leaving fund for
reserves in 'surplus is that they might
be paid out in cunt dividends or used
for other, purpose such as stock divid
ends as- la the ease of the 1909 stock
dividend. The company would then
have to go out and borrow in ease qf
a sudden eutastrophe or other emer
gency. ' '
Asked what he would have done in
1!H9, when cash surplus was wiped out
and a sudden call was made on the in
surance fund, McLean replied that
probably the company would have bor
rowed the money for. the emergency.
He maintains, however, that this is not
necessary, as the other assets of the
eom pa ay cover the safety fund, bal
ance and protect them as well as an
aotual "earmarked" reserve would.

NEW YORK, November 22It it
possible that t small boy- now being'
educated In the United States will lay
claim to' the succession of th throne
bf Austrla Hungary, for hit mother baa
long claimed that she is th child Of
the late . Crown Prince Rudolph and
Marie Vetsera, those two young lever
who 'were found dead together in the
hunting lodge al Mtyerlihg. .'.
That there -were any offspring a a
remit of . the romantic union between
Ffaat Jbtef fa only tog and Maria Vet
era' has been denied time and again in
Vienna, in official Circles, but the Aotj
trtan capital has always rung With ru
Islors. S . Mts. Alma Vstscra Hayne, a beauti
ful jonng Austrian, who first cam to
this side of tha water soma dxteen
years ago, assert that the i the ehild
f the tragic love affair, and her hus
band, from whom sh is now divorced,
aid several years ago that he believed
the was the "truest Of all the Hap-,
burgs."
- She returned to this country in June,
'1914, with her little son, who i named
Rudolph, after the prince whom Mrs.
'Hayne claims a her father. At that
time Mrs. Hayne told friends that She
had abandoned the title of "Princess
Vetsera," and that she expected to
abandon Pari and London for many
years, jA -order that her boy eould be
educated in America.
May Press Aon'a Claim
; "1 don't want to live on (he other
sido any more," she said reeehtTy.
"There are too many unhappy memo
ries associated with it. I haVe built a
house now near New York, -where 1
have a teal home."
But since the aitsassination of 'the
former heir apparent, the 4 Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, and his consort and
the death bf the aged ruler, whom she
claims is her grandfather, it is prob
able that Mr, Hnyne will change her
mind.
. The aged Emperor had been dying
by. inches for months, so it is freely
suld in Vienna.. Optimistic reports of
his condition were issued sit frequent
intervals by the chamberlain at the
Imperial HofbUtg, where he lay ill, but
the common people sitting on the park
benches in the Bfadtwfeldchen, in Buda
pest, and the Wurstel Prater, in Vien
na, have been surmising for the past
ten yearn -what will happen whet Franx
Joeef dies.
One . particular reason why Mrs.
Hayne will perhaps change her atti
tude is because it has always been
Fraa. Josef himself who preserved
Such a stern opposition to any irregu
larity in the Hapsburjr succession.
After Rudolph was. found dead more-
than twenty-nine year ago, the late
Emperor offered ' the tuecession to bis
brother, Carl Ludwigr Who declined.
The honor passed to C'rl Lud wig's
ton,' Franz Ferdinand, Whb was kiHed
in I9M; but when Fran Ferdinand
contracted a mdreanatie i marriaee the
Rmperor made 'him renoiinc all right
for bis. possible beirs.
This illustrates the unyielding posi
tion of the bead of the nicturesaue
Dual Monarchy. It might be, however,
that with the old ruler death Mrs..
ttayne would feel freer to push the
claim .of her son.
Her Own Career Romantic
She herself has had a rather roman
tic time of it. Hbe wa married in
1907, in Toronto, to a stockbroker
named George Osborne Hayne, , but
about three .years later .One "Justin B.
Macdougall, son of a 'Cahhtlifc.it Cobalt
capitalist, was mentioned in a. com
plaint Hayne filed With bit wife' law
yer, James B. Egan, pf 94 Wll, Street,
this city. This difficulty, however,
was adjusted, for Macdougall's father
had his son arrested in Chicago, in No
vember, 0tl, while Justin ws hurry
ing east to marry Mr.: Hayne. The
young man vra put in an asylum, and
Hayne read about 1.' in the newspapers
and went around to the Hotel Carlton
to effect a rooonciliatroa with' his wife.
In January, 1914, Mr. Hayne ap
I wared before a special matter, Francis
Child Jr., in Newark, and charged her
husband with desertion.' She said he
had left her id the. Windsor Hotel, in
Montreal, with her son Rudolph and an
unpaid bill of 000. Then, he said,
sba began to paint miniatures; but she
nevor heard from her husband again,
except tnnt at i:6ristma, 1912, he
sent his son letters and present." The
master recommended a divorce.
Mr. Hayne is small ;and slender,
wnn very wiae. ana heavy-lidded blue
eye, a rather Urge but nulling mouth
and plenty of blond hair.

WASHINGTON, November 1!5 Renr
Admiral MrUownn, paymaster-general
of the N'avy. di'i'lnrva thnt the high
cost of living in the Navy and the
high wngea ntihore are Combining to
ut down the enlistments in L'ucle
Ham's service on the high sens.
"The pnvmnster yesterday "told the
naval alTairs committee of the house,
which has beeii in session here for the
past few days, tlist the chief difficulty
in securing men, in his opinion, has
boen the fact thnt the pay they re
ceive will not permit them to send to
their wives, aistors and mothers the
money which they eould do were they
emnloved in jobs naliore.
."The American bluejacket Is the
biggest-hearted man in the world,"
said the renr-ndmirni, "and when he
finds it impossible to send to hi wife,
his sister or his mother the amount of
money that he could were he employed
in a civilian job on shore, he balks. I
hope, however, to see the recruiting of
the Navy reach 25,000 men a year, or
morea by 1918."
A letter from Surgeon-Oenernl Brni
sted was rend nt the meeting of tbe
committee, in which the Navy man de
clared that the American tar is the
best fed and best rlothed in the world;
better far than in the Kuropean navies.
