in Salaries of Diplomats
and Consuls.
By Wt W. Jermane.
Washington, Dec. 7.Increases in sal
aries of diplomatic and consular officers,

will, if congress approves them, add ma
terially to the compensation of several
men from the northwest now in service
abroad.

is one of the recommendations. In
torder to make the representatives to

ble addition of $2,500 for the colonel.

PUBLIC APPRECIATION CAUSES
ENORMOUS PRINTING ORDER.
Chicago, Dec. 7.(Special.)Charles
W. Snivel, representing the United
States Printing company of Cincinnati,
Ohio, is in the city today and states
that he has recently closed a contract
with the Anheuser-Busch Brewing com
pany for 250,000,000 Budweiser beer
labels. This is the largest quantity of
labels ever bought at any one time by
any one buyer and yet it 'represents but
a portion of the total .quantity required
by that company during the ensuing
year. The great and growing public ap
preciation' of a fine product is responsi
ble for this tremendous order.

Wisconsin Assembly to Consider
Measure for Investigation of
Public Service Corporations.
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis., Dec. 7.The real ses
sion of the legislature will come to
night, when a loint resolution will be
presented, providing for a joint commit
tee to investigate insurance and public
service corporations, this being in ac
cordance with the recommendation of
Governor La Follette.
The investigation is to be more sweep
ing than that conducted in New York.
It is proposed that the committee shall
investigate the methods' of doing busi
ness, examine and investigate into all
expenditures in all matters, especially
those relating to legislative and muni
cipal lobbyists, contributions to politi
cal candidates, expenses of officers and
employees, the nature and condition of
investments .and the manner in which
funds, securities and assets are being,
guarded. Under the resolution,-books^
papers and documents must be pre
sented for investigation.
Provision is made for the committee's
right to secure legal services and to re-
f,or1906,thel
to governor on or before Nov.
al facts found and testimony
given. It is predicted the resolution
will be rushed thru the assembly, but in
the senate, it will be warmly discussed.
Oapitol Bill Reported.
The senate bill for a $5,000,000 capitol
was reported for concurrence and a bill
was introduced providing for the elec
tion of election clerks in April and per
mitting counties, with a two-thirds ma
jority vote of county boards, to raise
the bridge tax to $2,000,000. The meas
ure also seeks the re-enactment of the
old bridge law of 1903.
The Dunn pocket ballot law, passed
last winter, was reported for repeal by
the committee on privileges and elec
tions.
Assemblyman Miller today presented
a resolution asking Governor La" Fol
lette to resign either the governorship
or the senatorship at once. It was
tabled amid much hilarity on a motion
from Assemblyman Andrew of Superior.
Fight for Governorship.
All eyes are now on the repub
lican gubernatorial nomination. Aspi
rants for this office are no long
er cloaking their ambitions. Wil
liam D. Connor, who has been de
tained at home by illness in his fam
ily, has arrived and from now on his
campaign for higher political honors
will be vigorously pressed. That he
will be a candidate for governor is now
publicly announced by his friends.
Freed from the fear of La Follette's
wrath, capitol employees are openly
working for Davidson, while' the Len
root committee is working in the as
sembly for support for the speaker in
his candidacv.
A joint resolution is being prepared
to provide for the legislative investi
gation of railroads and insurance com
panies in accordance with the gov
ernor's message.
Wprk
for Special Committee.
The special committee for investigat
ing will probably consist of fifteen per
sons, ten members of the assembly and
five members of the senate. Senator
Frear ma be chairman. It will be
directed to continue in session after the
adjournment of the legislatures Its
powers are to be generaT'sfrid'strong.
it is cu) open secret that the so
called eleveertrh.-fl.por league'will be one
of tne first institutions to' come under
the searchlight, and it is claimed by
those who have paid attention to the
matter that the Wisconsin insurance
companies will also be quizzed.
TJie eleventh-floor league, as it is
known, was a publicity bureau, from
which campaign articles were sent to
papers in. the state, in the state cam
paign in 1902. No such bureau was
maintained 1904.

WESTERN WORLD
Root Will Visit Brazil to Show
South America Uncle Sam's
Attitude.
Journal Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 7.There is a
world of politics in Secretary Boot's
determination to visit Brazil next sum
mer. Its result, it is hoped, will be a
hemisphere solidified against European
aggression.
As revealed yesterday by an official
acquainted with the reasons underlying
the secretary's decision, he proposes by
his trip:
HrstTo show the people of Brazil
and other South American republics that
the United States does not assume the
role of protector, Taut considers that the
states of the new world should enjoy ab
solute equality with each other.
SecondTo demonstrate that the
United States thinks enough of their
friendship and good will to welcome at
tentions such as one nation of Europe
shows to another.
To Remove Suspicion.
ThirdBy personal explanation to
remove the suspicion that territorial ag
grandizement is the secret mainspring
of the policy of the United States.
FourthFrom this demonstration of
friendship and good will and acknowl
edgment of equality to obtain a recog
nition of the obligations as well as the
benefits which the Monroe doctrine im
poses upon the Latin-American states
and to insure their cordial support of it.
In other words, to have an' unwritten al
liance of the states of the western
hemisphere, the purpose of which shall
be the enforcement of the Monroe doc
trine against the world.
The people of the country generally
are only beginning to realize the grow
ing importance of South America, but
exporters and officials have a keeWer ap
preciation of the value, commercially
and politically, of that section of the
world. They have had an opportunity
to study the development of such coun
tries as Brazil, Argentina and Chile,
the}- see the wonderful strides those
states have made, and they anticipate
a great future for them. They also
have come in contact with the activity
of the trading nations of EuropeGer
many, Great Britain and Italy.
To Checkmate Europe.
Exporters believe the United States
should not permit European goods to ob
tain such a firm foothold that they can
not bo shaken loose. Officials hold the
United States should not allow Europe
to acquire a preponderating influence in
the southern republics so they could be
turned against us and serve as a balance
of power.
It is these considerations which have
made Secretary Boot conclude it is
worth while to pay court to South
America. He will go to Rio deY
Janei
ro, the capitol of Brazil, when the Pan
American congress is in sessiotoC

Senate Passes Tillman Resolution
Asking Shaw for Light
on Query.
Washington, Dec. 7.The senate to
day passed a resolution of Senator Till
man calling on the secretary of the.
treasury for information as to whether
reports of examiners show whether or
not national banks make contributions
to political campaigns.
When Mr. Tillman called up his reso
lution he called attention to the recom
mendation made by the president in his
Annual message or 1904 and 1905 for,
the enactment of a law for protection,
against bribery and corruption in con
nection with elections. He quoted with
especial emphasis the president's re
marks concerning campaign, contribu
tions by corporations.
"Our chief executive has takei\ a
very progressive stand to secure purity
in elections,'' he said, and added,
"every good American will say 'well
done.'and look for progress along that
line.*'
He also quoted statements by Secre
tary Boot and Perry Belmont of New
York of the same tenor as the presi
dent's remarks, saying that he would
be impartial as between political par
ties.
He conceded that the secretary might
not have the facts wanted, but he
thought he ought to have. Incidentally,
Mr. Tillman said that he had been in
formed that the controller of the cur
rency has been investigating the sub
ject of bank contributions, with the
view of instituting legal proceedings.
At 2:18 p.m. the senate adjourned
until Monday.
Senator Allison, chairman of the re
publican caucus of the senate, today
announced the personnel of the commit
tee to fill vacancies on committees as

scriptions, they should come volun
tarily, so that all of the funds may be
in hand for the purpose for which they
are contributed.
"Denver is better suppled with
hotel facilities than our city, and yet
30j000 people were cared for there in
private homes. We can do better than
that here and will have no difficulty in
taking care of all who come.
"The grand parade is still the great
event of the encampment. At Denver
22,000 men were in line, and as they
marched slowly, three hours and- a haft
were required for the line to pass. In
addition to this parade, other events
may be introduced, and should be here
so that there will be something going
on every day and night of the encamp
ment.
Essential Requirements.
"With the entertainment of the G.
A. B. there 'are almost innumerable de
tails to be looked after, but as I view,
it now, the following are the most' es
sential requirements of a successful en
campment
"FirstGood depot facilities so that
trains may arrive and unload without
delay. In this respect our five depots
are better than one would be, and yet
it may be wise to irranpe for unload
ing some trains before they reach
depot, in case it becomes necessary to
do so.
SecondPlenty pf special officers,
guides and information booths.
"ThirdAmple baggageroonuat each
depot, so that visitors may no be de
layed in obtaining such oaggage as
they may have checked.
"FourthAmple room and a suffi
cient number or clerks to avoid delay
or tedious standing in line to secure
the validation of railroad tickets.
"FifthPlenty of sleeping accom
modations and eating places, with quick
service and without advance in price.
"Other things are necessary, but_if
these five conditions ate properly met,
the Minneapolis encampment will be
better than any of its predecessors and
will reflect lasting credit on our city."
FRENCH CHURCH
BILL IS PASSED
Long Fought Measure Separating
Church and State Becomes
a Law.
Paris, Dec. 7.The senate has adopt
ed the bill for the separation of church
and state by a vote of 181 against 102.
The vote was announced yesterday,
amid enthusiastic scenes and cries of
"Long Live the Republic," and "Long
Live Liberty."
Former Premier Combes particiDated
in the debate, contending that the
measure assured neutrality of religion,
moral liberation and social pacification.
This is the final parliamentary stage
of the bill, which will be promulgated
in the Official Journal today, when it
will become effective immediately.
The council of state will devote three
months to the framing of the adminis
trative details of the .new regime.
The action of the Vatican regarding
the new law has not yet been definite^
ly announced.
The public worship budget of 1906
will be reduced from $8,400,000 to near
ly $6,800,000 consequent on the grad
ual diminution of the salaries paid by
the state to the clergy.
The fundamental principles of the
bill insure entire liberty of conscience
respecting religion, with restrictions
wheh are intended to preserve public
order. The bill sweeps away a system
which dates from -1801, when the fa
mous concordat was signed by Pius
VII.. and Napoleon. This gave religion
a governmental status, the churches be
ing government property, with a clergy
paid by the state, and the entire church
administration being under the direc
tion of a member of the president's
cabinet. The new system abolishes all
laws and regulations under the con
cordat and terminates the authority of
the concordat itself.

DEPEI^PERKINS,
MXAIfeMUSI GO
Senator's" Resignation to Be
Sought and Insurance Men
to Be Retired.
Now York, Dec. 7.The trustees of
the New York,. Life now realize that
public opinion' demands the retirement
of John* A. McCall as president. Some
of the trustees have asked John Claflin
to take the presidency. Mr, Claflin, it
is understood, has declined because of
the pressure of other business. Other
available men are being sought by those
of the trustees who believe Mr. McCall
must go. Mr. McCall himself declares
he has no intention of getting out:
hasn't been asked to get out and that
the policyholders want nim to stay. He
admits that Perkins is going to retire.
Seeks Depew's Head.
Chauncey M. Depew will be asked to
resign his seat in the United States sen
ate. A resolution demanding that he
Jftoe. owing to his connection with
the life insurance scandals, will be in
troduced on the first day of the ap
proaching session of the New York,
legislature. If no one else offers it,
Senator Brackett of Saratoga, who,
more than any other man in the legis
lature, contributed to bringing about
the investigation of insurance compa
nies, will present it.
It is believed, however', that Senator
Depew, responding to powerful influ
ences of political and business char
acter, will drap out of the senate be
fore ho is asked to do so. It is said
upon reliable authority that the Van
derbilts will urge the senator to retire
from pohtrcs and devote his time to
the railroad business.
Why He Should Quit.
Senator Brackett, in making known
today his determination to force the
retirement of Senator Depew, said:
"J have seen Mr. Depew's state
ment thai he has no thought of resign*
ing, his position as United States sen
ator and knows of no, .reason, legal or
emotional why he should do so. And
yet I believe that Ife-will. It is im
possible .to fight- th stars in -their
courses," and the ^ogit-ojf present events
is inexorable.
With no wish to^ifepike at a man who
is down, and so" pjtfetfully down as is
Senator Depew, I bqfj.Sv that he" must
and will resign, an*d* that very soon.
The republican party .must purge itself
from vai insurance' situation
unsparing hand, must-
do it so completenahwit
ly that no oiie gaif dpubt the cleanness
of the result when*reached.''
Bequeathed Premiums.
The first witness! to appear before the
insurance investigation committee today
was William A. Butts, paymaster of the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company
of this city. Mr. Hughes, counsel for
the committee, asked him for an ac
count of the payments made by the com
pany to Mrs. Harper^heir of the estate
of former President Edward B. Harper,
as commissioWs on premiums which Mr.
Harper bequeathed to his estate and to
be paid after his death. The witness
was temporarily excused and J. M. Hy
land, bookkeeper of the Mutual Beserye,
was called -and identified entries in the
books of the company showing pay
ments of..$6001 each-to Mr?.. Harper in
1895 and 1896.- Some of them were

William A. Butts, the paymaster,
then went on the stand. He said he
gave $8,000 to President F. A. Burn
ham from the contingent fund in 1896.
Witness did not- know what the presi
dent did- with the money.
George D. Eldredge, vice president
of the Mutual Reserve company, was
called and asked if he had not pre
viously testified tb.at the total amount
paid to Mrs. Harper was $48,609 and
to the Harper family $35,000. The
witness said he did not intend to have
given such testimony. He was asked
why he had not opposed such payments
as having been made under an illegal
contract, as the company had once con
tended in a suit brought by one of the
heirs. He said he understood the
courts decided it was legal in the pre
vious suit. Mr. Hughes said the point
was never adjudicated, as the compa
ays answer alleging illegality was
withdrawn. Witness said he did not
know why the $8,000 was paid to Presi
dent Burnham.
Beating the Policyholder.
A small insurance company, the Se
curity Mutual Life association of Bing.
hamton, N. Y., was investigated yos
terday by the Armstrong committee
and it developed that the game of beat
ing the Dolicyholders out of their
money which had been played on such
a magnificent scale in th6 great insur
ance corporations, is not unknown to
the officers of the smaller concern. It
was shown:
That the Binghamton company was
started on the proverbial "shoestring*'
1886 for a number of years its of
ficers worked faithfully and industri
ously to build it up, and in 1893, when
it had been fairly launched upon a
prosperous career, the officers devised
a peculiar scheme to get a good share
of the prosperity.
Milked the Life Company.
It being purely a mutual company,
with every dollar in its treasury^ sup
posedly belonging to the policyholders,
the men in control formed the Agency
& Investment company, a stock corpor
ation, which has since very successfully
"milked" the insurance company.
The Agency and Investment compa
ny guaranteed to make' good any deficit
in the funds of the Life company, and)
for this the Life company made a con
tract by which it was agreed perpetu
ally to pay the Agency company per
cent annually on ail premiums. The
Agency company did hot collect these
premiums and did nothing whatever
except to pay nominally the salary of
the president of the Life company..
Twelve per Cent Dividends.
This 5 per cent arrangement threat
ened to throw over such considerable
sums of the policyholders' money, to
the Agency company that it was
deemed best to modify the contract.
The new contract requires the Life com
pany to pay annually to the Agency
company a sum sufficient to enable the
latter to nay 1% per cent dividends
yearly 1ro the owners of its stock.
All of the officers of the Life com
pany own stock in the Agency company,
which is capitalized at $175,000. The
12 per cent dividends deprive the poli
cyholders of $19,000 yearly.
"&?*?$ Politicians and Pulls.
In addition to the officers of the life
company, the stockholders in the agency
company al number of up-state
grtitjcians.include
O&oi tbese.is George W.
upn, former chairman ot the. republi
can state committee altti now state rail-
road commissioner. He owns $6,006' of
the agency company's stock.
Tho the fact was not brought out at
the hearing, it was said the life com
pany was allowed to (io business without
depositing the usual $200,000 with the
state insurance department. To ac
complish this it is declared the politic
ians behind the company had a bill put
thru the legislature, which exempted
this company from that requirement of
the law.
Paid to State Clerk.
President Charles M. Turner of the
Security Mutual was recalled today. In
the course of his testimony he said that
his company had paid $1,000 a year to
D. H. Keef er, a clerk in the New York
state insurance department, to perform
some duties as actuary of the Security
Mutual. "It did not occur to" me,
said Mr. Turner, "that this conflicted
with Mr. Keefer's duties to the insur
ance departments'
