12 MUST ENTERTAIN THE VISITORS Appeal to Raleigh Folks by Chamber of Commerce. DUTY TO THE GUESTS Thousands of People Will be in Ral eigh at the Fair, and the Co-Op eration of All the Raleigh Folks is Earnestly In vited. The city of Raleigh will have a duty to perform Fair Week —an obliga tion to humanity for humanity’s take. That obligation is to provide shelter and food for the immense crowds which will certainly he within our gates at that time. Reports from every section of the State indi cate that we shall have the largest crowd ever brought together at any time or at any place within the borders of out Commonwealth. The attractions have been offered by our State Fair authorities and our citizens have co-operated with them at all times with a view to making the State Fair the one annual gathering for citizens front every section of the State of all occupations, to meet to gether on a common plane and in hearty good will as a great holiday oc casion. During the past good citizens from a distance have criticised our lack of accommodation and have claimed that apparently no determined or ef fective efforts were made to provide shelter for those who have come here on this occasion. In this respect our reputation for hospitality and kind heartedness has been severely criti cised from one end of the State to the other. We. who can retire to our coi*n for table homes after a tiresome day, should not forget the stranger within our gates who is seeking a resting place. The Chamber of Commerce has un dertaken through a special commit tee to make an organized and syste matic effort to make as comfortably as possible every citizen who shall ap ply to it for accommodation. The Board of Aldermen, recognizing the importance-of the matter, Ims appro priated necessary funds asked for by this committee to canvass the city thoroughly in order to secure accu rate information as to the number that can be entertained in our private homes, and, also to, maintain a free information bureau for (he purpose ot, intelligently assigning homes to those making application. Every ef fort will be made to have all available halls open and supplied with tem porary sleeping equipment, but it ap pears now that it will be necessary for • everal thousand visitors to be enter tained in our private residences. This should be done, not as a matter of charity noi as a money-making en terprise. but as a duty we owe the guests within our city. Our people as a whole must co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce and with the Board of Aldermen in their efforts to do this for the city's upbuilding and good reputation.. The responsibility is fixed, how shall we meet it}? r Appeal by Chamber of Commerce. Tlie following is the call issued by the Chamber of Commerce: To the Citizens of Raleigh: Th. Chamber of Commerce, com posed of more than two hundred of your representative professional and business men, lias assumed the re sponsibility of making a systematic and determined effort to care for the great crowds that are expected dur ing Fair Week. The Hoard of Al dermen. the Retail Merchants’ Asso ciation and the Capital Club are all heartily co-operating with the Cham ber of Commerce in this undertaking. Every indication points to a crowd unprecedented in the history of our State. It is reported that large num bers of women and children, repre senting the leading families of our State, are expecting to come. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to haw every available hall and va cant space that is at all suitable for such purpose, equipped as temporary sleeping apartments, hut it is esti mated thqt all of this space will be in sufficient and we must appeal to you to open your '.homes* and assist in caring for these people, as we re alize the inadequacy of our hotel and boarding house ■ accommodations. The chamber will - maintain a free information bureau in rooms furnish ed by the Capital Club in charge of a competent manager with Intelligent assistants and a corps of messengers with a view to assigning visitors to homes with system and intelligence. We ask you only to co-operate with us to your fullest capacity and that you will keep in close touch with this bureau and that you will make your charges as reasonable as conditions will allow. We are not asking that this be done as a matter of charity, as these peo ple will expect to pay for their en teitainment and would feel more at j AtSvIDQ to Young fjr* [ If you are a husband, and as such soon expect I • to become a father, take heed.

The committee will start one or more canvassers next week for the purpose of securing information from every home within the city which might be able to participate in this work. We urge you to make some sacrifices, if necessary, and to give the canvassers the information desired promptly, as we are pressed for time and money in completing this work. It would facilitate matters if you will kindly consider the question before the canvasser reaches your home and drop a postal card at once to me at the Citizens’ National Bank, stating how many you will entertain, giving your street and number, or to Mr. Chares J. Parker, chairman of the committee, telephone number and in dicating whether or not you will fur in.sh lodging only or breakfast, sup per and lodging—visitors will get their lunch elsewhere. We expect to be taxed to our utmost capacity and urge that you co-operate to your fullest ability in this matter. We ask this for the good name of our city, which, dur ing the past, has suffered along this line. Confident of your hearty co-opera tion, I would urge your prompt at tention, which will greatly facilitate the work in hand. (Signed) JOS. G. BROWN, President Chamber of Commerce.

Father of Bertha Howell Seeks $20,- 000. Declaring Bernard Seduced and Debauched Her. and That He is an Adept in Seducing Women. The expected suit of H. C. Howell against Claude Bernard, whom lie charges with the seduction and de bauching of his minor daughter, Bertha Howell, was started yesterday. The attorneys for Mr. llowell are Messrs. Argo & .Shaffer, and the amount of damages claimed by Mr. Howell for the wrong and injury and loss of services of his minor child an. $20,000. The answer to the complaint filed yesterday must be in before the close of the court which convenes here this week, and tin* trial of the case will come in October. In the complaint it is set forth that Howell is a citizen of Raleigh, married and with children, and that the suit is brought because of the wrong doin' his minor daughter. Bertha, by Claude-Bernard on the 23rd of May, 1905; that Bernard is a resident of Raleigh, is married anu lias several children, some of the latter having about arrived at years of maturity, and that Bernard is judged to be a man of about forty -years of age. Continuing the complaint sets forth: 3. That the defendant, on or about the 23rd day- of May, 1905, the de fendant, pretending to be unmarried, and a marriageable man, by artifice, deception and misrepresentation in duced the said minor child, the daugh ter of the plaintiff, Bertha Howell, to accompany him to ride in the country, where they, as the defendant said to the said minor child would obtain nice refreshments, and have a nice drive; that trusting to the truthfulness, sin cerity and honesty of purpose of the defendant, the said daughter of the plaintiff, being young and inexperi enced, and the defendant much older than she was, and an adept, as the plaintiff is informed and believed, in seducing and debauching women, con sented to accompany the defendant as he had requested. But the said minor child, without any knowledge as to the secret purpose of the defendant, and without her consent, was carried by the. said defendant to an assigna tion house on the outskirts of the east ern portion of the city of Raleigh un der pretence that lemonade and other refreshments were sold there; and that the defendant, then by threats of ex posure of the sai.l minor child then and there seduced and debauched, and carnally knew her. 4. That the ‘said defendant by the means and artifice and threats afore said, at the time and place aforesaid, the said minor child and daughter of the plaintiff did debauch and carn ally know. 5. That the said minor daughter of the plaintiff at the time of the wrong and injury aforesaid lived in the home of and resided with the plaintiff, her father, and was and is unmarried. 6. That by the seduction, debauch ing and carnally knowing of the said daughter of the plaintiff by the de fendant as aforesaid, the plaintiff has lost the services of his said minor child, that he has been greatly grieved and distressed and has suffered in tensely in mind and body; and furth er the peace and happiness of his home have been destroyed and his family disgraced; and that by the wrong of the defendant as aforesaid the plaintiff has been endamaged twenty thousand dollars. TEDDY CONSULTS PARTY'S LEADERS About Return of Boodle to McCall. OTHERS WERE IN LINE More Companies Which Gave Contribu tions to the Republican Campaign Fund. Reasons Which Actuated to Supply Money. Do Corpora tions Owe the Public? By WILLIAM WOLFF SMITH. Washington, D. C.. Sept. 23.—A few days ago it was suggested in this cor respondence that the Republican Na tional committee having, according to all reports, a large surplus from the campaign fund of last year, might with very good grace return the $48,- 000 that President McCall, <>f the New York Life Insurance Company, had contributed through George W. Per kins, pi J. P. Morgan and Company. President Roosevelt, it appears, enter tains the same idea and there is every rearon to believe that lie is consult ing tlie leaders of his party on this point. While Mr. Roosevelt has noth ing to do with the National campaign committee, which is the organic body of the Republican party, at the same time as the successful candidate of AT THE NORFOLK HORSE SHOW. r ■ r*T I > The* Norfolk Show will occur October 1C to 21st, and at that time many of the world's greatest show animals will bo exhibited. This event is for the South what tile great horse show at Madison Square Garden is for the North. The above Picture shows Dick Donnelly riding one of his favorite jumpers. This horse will be shown at the Norfolk Horse Shbw. the party and the President of the United States, his 'wishes are likely to prevail unless a stumbling block of huge proportions is found in the fact that the New York Life Insur ance was not the v only company of this kind to make a contribution. It is almost a certainty that the Equitable came down handsomely, that the Mutual Life Insurance of New York gave as much or more than the New York Life and that Senator Dryden’s company, the Prudential, was in line. There is no doubt that all mentioned and probably many others gave large sums in IS9G and 1900, justified from their standpoint by their belief that their investments were endangered by the free-silver agitation. Hut in 1904 there was no such danger and the result was a foregone conclusion, so much so that the betting was live to one in favor of Roosevelt. Campaign contributions under ruch circum stances from life insurance companies who properly should have no interest in legislation further than to protect their rights, are naturallv regarded with disapproval especially by the policyholders who foot the bills. Spec ulation is therefore active as to the impelling causes which led these com panies to make such princely contri butions and the suspicion has been aroused that something was expected in return. It is not strange in view of the little information which the great public has on the life insurance question, that out of the scandals which have been uncovered there should be growing a demand for Fed eral supervision of life insurance com panies. It is therefore interesting to note that instead of these companies opposing Federal supervision they are the ones which are seeking national legislation to that end and their cam paign contributions admit of the ex planation that they were made to further their interests in this connec tion. When the Department of Com merce and Labor was organized cer tain of the insurance companies made a vigorous effort to have included in the department a bureau of insur ance. While the powers of the bureau were only vaguely outlined its es tablishment was all that was desired at that time as this once accomplished the duties and powers could be broad ened as the occasion arose and op portunity afforded. The opposition of Southern States Rights Democrats, however, knocked this scheme in the head. Then followed the campaign of 1901, the tint national campaign after the bureau plan had failed, and heavy campaign contributions were made by the life insurance companies interested to the already plethoric Republican campaign fund. This ses sion will see the new Congress elected last fall and a president elected at the same time, by a campaign commit tee to whose expenses the aforesaid contributions were made. Not long ago Senator Dryden, president of the Prudential Company, and former So licitor General Beck, who especially represents the New York Mutual on this subject, slipped over to Oyster THE DAILY MEWS AND OBSERVER Bay and held a long conference with the President on their pet project. At the conclusion it was announced that the President favored the plan and that Senator Dryden would introduce the bill. It might have been added that Mr. Beck would co-oeprate to the end that the bill might overcome several constitutional defects which have hitherto operated against the scheme. Whether Messrs. Dryden and Beck can draft a law which will con stitutionally give the general govern ment control of life insurance is doubt ed as there are decisions to the ef fect that policies are not “inter-State commerce.” Another reason which is freely given as actuating the companies to make heavy campaign contributions is the fact that they and their associates are uniformly opposed to railroad rate regulation by the government. Messrs. Alexander, McCall, Perking and oth ers have made heavy investments of insurance funds in railway and steam ship bonds and through the trust com panies and banks owned or controlled by the life insurance companies, have loaned and are lending untold mil lions on railway securities. A glance at tiie situation reveals the peril. All railroad stocks are up, away up. Many are selling at thirty to fifty dollars a share more than they were four years ago. This is not due to stock manipulation but to the earnings of the roads which have in most in stances been increasing by' leaps and bounds. More than six, eight or ten per cent at the outside paid on com mon stock of a railroad is dangerous as it gives impetus to the cry of the shippers and consumers that railroad rates should be ’ regulated for their benefit as well as that of the stock and bondholder. 111-bred and “com mon” people entertain the idea —to Wall Street absurd —that common carriers with public franchises and rights of enormous value owe some thing to the public. Therefore Wall Street strives by issuing additional securities to keep the rate of Interest down to a point where the complaint ol the shipper as to excessive rates is offset by that of the stockholder as to meagre dividends. But with the volume of freight and passenger traf fic constantly increasing enormously, just as the golden (food continues to pour into the coffers of the insurance companies despite the disclosures, even the Wizards of Wall Street can not water the stocks rapidly enough and they continue to climb skyward. Now to control a stock of a great railroad corporation looks like a dif ficult matter, but suppose it is capi talized at iifty million dollars selling at par. Fiftv one per cent would give control and that can be had for $25,- 500,000. On that amount of stock the banks will loan to within anywhere from ten to twenty per cent of its market value, according to the stnad ing and pull of the parties seeking control. Assuming a margin of ten per cent the capitalists purchasing control would put up $2,550,000 and the banks would lend them the bal ance. and for this figure they would obtain control of the road. This "con trol” is exereised in various ways, of ten to create additional securities and market the same on the showing of net earnings which are made possible by the freight rates paid by the ship per and consumer. As has been said the life Insurance companies are vi tally interested for they deposit a large portion of their funds in banks and trust companies which they own or control; there lend the money to bankers and brokers on railway stocks as collateral; the trust company gets from four to six per cent on the money and pays the insurance companies two per cent; the officers of the insur ance companies draw large salaries and invest in the stock of the banks and trust companies. If the system of collecting money from po'./yhold ers and lending it on collateral rail road stocks continues vast profits go to those on the inside. But if Congress should seriously undertake to regulate railroad rates the house of cards would be in danger. Lower rates —rates in proportion to the actual value of the investment instead of the inflated vol ume of securities skillful market ma nipulators have been able to float —means a decrease in dividends and a falling of the prices of railway stocks. A few points' drop means a call from the banks f-~ more money and if the market value of the stocks should by any chance shrink to the real and intrinsic value, based on the capital actually invested and with due regard for the rights of the public in the matter of rates —the banks and trust companies controlled by the life insurance companies would find them selves holding enormous blocks of these stocks sacrificed by magnates who would throw them over rather than put up the margins. These stocks would eithet have to be carried in the face of enormous losses or offered for Hale on a rapidly receding market. It is not necessary now to speak of the intimate relations existing between the New York Life and J- P* Morgan and Company, between the Equitable and Harriman of old, or between the Equitable and Ryan now. All pai tici pated in various underwriting syndi- cates as individuals and on the part of the companies and without railroad bonds and stocks to float, underwriting syndicates would be superfluous. The intimate connection in thus establish ed and while no one would dream that the political contribution of the life insurance companies were made with a view of warding off railroad rate regulation, their acceptance put the campaign committee under obligations and, as in the case of the highly pro tected industries which are opposing tariff revision, such obligations are given due weight and respect. The wishes of the liberal Messrs. McCall, Perkins, Dryden and others are like ly, therefore, to be respected in the matter of insurance and railroad rate legislation. Incidentally it may be remarked that the people of the United States are, through their deposits in national banks and trust companies and the life insurance compaines, swelling the mass of railroad securities on which interest must be paid for which the money must come from excessive freight rates. Every bond and every dollar of stock, issued by a railroad for improvements which could be made out of the current income of the railroad, makes the load heavier. EXCELLENT Fill IT.

Henderson, tile noted New York Music critic and author. Mr. Henderson, after attend ing the four closing concerts, wrote in part: ”1 cannot believe that any other American Conservatory would bring forward as many advanced pupils at a series of commencement concerts. I am thoroughly satisfied that a more sincere, devoted and honestly artistic body of instructors does not exist any where else. The institution is ad mirably equipped for the development of artists.” The past season was the most successful in the history of the Conservatory, not only in the remark able numerical growth in membership, but in the improvement in artistic aehievment in every department of study. Nearly 1,000 pupils were en rolled. The opportunity of hearing the master compositions of different epochs presented by the greatest ar tists of the day, the advantage of playing with and before others, the ensemble rehearsals, the lectures, the pleasant musical association, the class spirit—all tend to stimulate a healthy interest and establish a high ideal of excellence by means not ob tainable outside of a conservatory.
