The fighters were George Potts and Edward Tviley. While sitting around the institution smoking they quarrelled and exchanged blows. When the keep er had left the room the old men met and calmly agreed to fight a duel nt a vemote spot on the grounds. They were standing breast to breast and knee to knee, covered with blood, stabbing each other in the back, shoulder and sides when the keerer arrived. So des perately were the fighters engaged that it was necessary to knock them down before . they would desist. The sur geons say that both' will probably die. The men, who have jived together in peace nt the institution for some time, refuse to say what started the fight.

W. Perkins Explains Ar rangements With Bankers. PROFITS WERE DIVIDED. Insurance Probing "Only Started," Says Attorney Hughes Profit of $383, 382 Made in Joint Accounts in Two Years. .New ork, ber.t. 22. Cconre V. Per kins, vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, was the chief witness at the insurance hearing yes terday. The firt subject brought up by Attorney Hughes for the legislative committee was the over-night sale of $m)0,0o0 of navigation bonds to J. P. Morgan &. Co. bv the New York Life on Dec. 31, 1903. In that transaction Mr. Perkins acted as chairman of the finance committee of the insurance company in selling the bonds to his own banking firm, and again he acted in the same capacity in rebnying them. The apparent object of the deal, as indicated in the previous testimony, was to prevent the bonds from appearing in the New York Life's report to the insurance department at the end of 1903. "We have not yet reached the meat of this inquiry," said Mr. Hughes. "In fact, we have only started in it." The first witness was John F. Me Oultagh of Albany, who is employed by "Judjie" Andrew A. Hamilton!' The checks for $100,000 given by the New York Lite Insurance company to Mr. Hamilton bore McCullagh's name as in dorsee but the witness said he knew nothing about the checks except what he had read in the newspapers. He did not know whether Air. Hamilton ap peared before legislative committees, nor (iu he know anything about his em ployer's account in the New York State National Hank of Albany. He did not know of any other account of Mr. Ham ilton in Albany, but knew he was elect cd a director of the Albany Trust com pany about a vear ago. The witness said he did not know where Mr. Hamilton's books were, nor would he know where to find anv of hia employers cancelled checks. Mr. Mc Cullagh said further that he knew noth ing whatever about the $100,000 paid to Hamilton, and concerning which Mr. McCall, president of the New York Life insurance company, was examined H ed- nesdav. tieorge W. Terkins, vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, and a partner in the banking firm of J. I'ierpont Morgan & Co., was the next witness, lie was asked to produce the cnccK lor ssuu.uuo given to J. r. .Mor gait & Co. by the New York Life com pany for $Soo,000 of bonds of the navi garion syndicate, mese bonds were sold by the New York Life company to J. P. Morgan & Co. at the elose of tne calendar year, Dec. 31, 1903, and bought back on the next business day, dan. iM)4. The check was offered as evidence. An accompanying check for $226,000, Mr. Perkins said, he did not know about, but would look it tip. the check of J. V Morgan & Co. for $800,000 in payment ior tne nomis was also asked lor. Mr. Perkins then presented a state ment of the New York Life Insurance company's joint accounts from 1897 to 1905. . .Mr. Perkins also presented a number of other financial statements that had been requested. Then he said "Mr. Hughes, I think I have every thing you asked for. I wish to make a correction on the records. I think you assumed the object of the navijra tion syndicate transaction between the New York Life and J. P. Morgan & Co. was to enable the former to reduce their holding temporarily from $4,000, 000 to $3,200,000. You asked me wheth er our purpose was to report $3,200,000 instead of $4,000,000. The record as furnished me records me as answering 'Yes, sir.' I wish to correct that. I didn't mean that; I don't mean it." "You mean to say 'No' J" asked Mr. Hughes. "I mean to say no," replied Mr. Per kins. . , Mr. Hughes would not let the witness proceed, but said he would come to that later. He asked Mr. Perkins lo produce all certificates the New York Life held on December 31, 1903, showing its participation in the navigation syn dicate; and he particularly wished to know what instrument or'certifleate the New York Life Insurance company de livered J. P. Morgan & Co. on that date. "T will lie glad to furnish the informa tion," said witness. Among the joint accounts Mr. Hughes found a participation of the New Yor Life Insurance company with C. T. Wing & Co., in which, on the purchase of railroad bonds to the sum of $1,780, 000, the New York Life Insurance com pany received a, profit of $32,753. Hie witness did not know what profits the firm of C. T. Wing & Co. got in the transaction. "From this account it looks as if the New York Life put up all the money," saul .Mr. ungues. "Do you know wheth er it is true or not?" "I do not. I am not the book-keeper, but I presume the accounts are cor rect," Mr. Terkins again took the stand and said that in another joint account with Goldman, Sachs & Co, the latter com pany bought the bonds amounting to $1,490,000, and that the New York Life Insurance company carried them until they were sold. The profita were divid ed, each receiving $12,1S4. It was shown that the profits of the New York Life Insurance Company from 1S99 to 1901, inclusive, in joint ac counts, were $388,382. jir. rerkins continued: "it was an execiiciii, point iiiHt jou iiiuue me oilier day as to why we did not try and do a larger business and pet securities at the cheapest possible pricet Now, I ttcy:. - iig7L?a very Miece want that to go on the record carefully, because I fear that has been our motive. I fear, sir, because of some information you may have had, that you are under the impression that we have made these joint account to benefit somebody cl-e partly. That is absolutely not o, in no instance. "I must protest that you are charac terizing when you come back all the while to the assertion that the fact was that these people put up no money and received profits." "Is that not so?" asked Mr. Hughes. "That has nothing at all to do with it," cried the witness. "Whether that has anything to do with it or not, in your niind, is it not so?" "I beg your pardon, Mr. Hughes; no, sir. They put up bonds on which we loaned money, and we have a right to do it. Do you mean to say that under our by-laws I cannot lend money on bonds V "Are you able to say," asked: Mr. Hughes, "that the New 'York Security & Trust company, in this transaction, did anything, either in the purchase of the bonds or in the sale, or in any detail of the matter, fave to take their share of the profits?" "I am not prepared, but I think that they may have brought this business to our attention. That is a reason why we often give some one an interest iii the joint account, because they bring the business to our attention. They are entitled to" Mr. Hughes interrupted. At the close of the morning session Mr. Perkins sprung a joke on the com mittee and the audience. "lucre is one name," he announced, "that has not appeared in these con tracts. I want to tell you who the man is." The auditors leaned forward in their eagnernes to discover the identity of the hidden partner. Mr. Perkins dra matically declared that the individual had benefited greatly by the deals. "It is Mr. Hughes himself," he ex claimed. A murmur of astonishment greeted this. The speaker did not smile, but solemnly pointed at the lawyer, whose face contracted an expression of blank bewilderment. "Yes," continued Mr. Terkins, "Mr. Hughes is the man. He is a policy holder, nnd" , Laughter drowneVl his voice, for a min ute, after which, before the adjourn ment for luncheon was announced, he said that all the policyholders should be glad of the profits made throu-rh joint accounts.
