“Gentlemen: Quoted below is I
translation of a special telegram sent .
from New York to the “Berlinger;
Tageblatt" of Berlin Germany and
published by that newspaper:
"New York. July 28 1905.—(Private
telegram ! —The emigration-broke the'

the Germans not to emigrate to the
southern states as they are forced to
work by revolvers and are treated i
wo-se than slaves.''
In commenting on the above dis-'
patch Mr. Wood says:
“From time to time publications or
statements of the kind quoted come'
to our attention and 1 think It Is safe |
to say that only a proportion of such ।
libelous and enormous statements
printed in the German papers are ac-1
tually heard of by the people of our|
southern states. I think it is highly I
I Important for the interests of the rail-
roads as well as the south generally
that all proper efforts be made to I
counteract the false Impressions 1
placed before prospective Immigrants
i in foreign countries and I really be-
believe that ex-Germans and others
' of foreign parentage or birth will
have sufficient interest and pride to
heln us In our efforts.
“There are in existence at various
points throughout the country socie-
ties such as the Turn Voreln Schwa
ben societies and the like. I wish
you would learn the names of the offi-
cers of such societies In vour respect-
ive jurisdictions place this matter be-
fore them and request that the body
or society which they lead take formal
and explicit action setting forth the
impropriety and unfairness of such

at Houston was in the city last Fri-
day and he requested that the matter
be Investigated and have the most
representative German citizens and
societies of this city give the matter
due consideration. A reporter for the
Light accordingly went out and after
showing the letter to prominent Ger-
man residents secured the following
expressions:
Adolph Dreiss druggist and mem-
ber of the board of directors of the .
Casino association: “The report as
published is misleading and Is an out-
rage. I have been here since 1849 j
and never had any trouble of any
kind. This matter will be taken up
by the Casino association and a suit-'
able set of resolutions will be passed ;
at our next meeting touching this 1
cues’.lon.”
H. C. Heillg president of the Bee-;
thoven Maennerchor: “It is a shame
that such false reports should be cir-
culated but It Is done by some irre-
sponsible party who is seeking cheap
notoriety without regard to the truth j
The matter shall receive earnest con-1
sideration at the next meeting of the)
society which meets next Thursday."
Albert V. Huth county assessor:
"Our most thrifty class of farmers in
Bexar county are Germans and the re-
port published In Berlin is mislead-
ing and can And no sympathy with
the German element in southern
state- “
Benno Engelke. deputy district
clerk: “This repoh originated In the
mind of some educated tramp who
has his headquarters in New York and
who makes it his special business to
send out false reports to mislesd the
German people and to retard immigra-
ticn."
William G Schuwlrth. plumber and
gas fitter: "The man originating such
libelous stuff should be run out of the
country. He has no place among the
German element and I would consider
it an insult to the southern states to
send out such yellow fake atuff.”
John Bauer national secretary of
the Order of Hermann Sona: “There
is not a word of truth in the state-
ment published and the Order of Her-
mann Sons in the south will pass a
suitable set of resolutions condemning
such malicious snd misleading re-
ports.”
Ernest Stremmel president of the
San Antonio Krelge r Vereln: "Such
false reports should be stopped and
the German societies of the south
will adopt a set of resolutions to be
published tn the same paper in Ger-
many that printed the first statement
and place the German element In this
section in the right light.”

FEDERAL CONTROL OF
INSURANCE COMPANIES
both SIDES OF the QUESTION
WILL BE PRESENTED BE-
FORE CONGRESS.
Senator Bulkley Discusses the Ques-
tion of Federal Supervision and
Points to the Numerous Fai'ures of
National Banks— The Mutual Life
Investigation and President Mc-
Curdy.
Special to The Light.
Washington D. C. Nov. 4. —Both
sides of the federal insurance question
will be represented in the senate this
winter and by insurance men. Sena-
tor Dryden who as president of the
Prudential Insurance company and
senator from New Jersey earnestly
and ably advocated federal supervi-
sion and control of life insurance win
be opposed by Senator Morgan C.
Bulkley of Connecticut president of
the Aetna Life Insurance company of
Hartford Conn. On this subject Sen-
ator Bulkley says:
“Regulation of the business of in-
surance by the federal government
which would include the right of an
Insurance company to transact busi-
ness in the several states regardless
of the laws and departmental require-
ments of any state other than that
which gave corporate life to the com-
pany would be desirable and to se-
cure such exclusive supervision and
regulation would justify and demand
persistent and untiring effort. But
regulation which will not exclude all
supervision other than that of the
home state will but add to the bur-
dens of insurance companies and se-
cure in return simply the moral ef-
fect which supervision msintained
upon a high plane of efficiency may
have an encouraging and restraining
force upon state Insurance.”
After examining the arguments pre I
sented by the supporters of federal
regulation and the authorities cited.
Mr. Bulkley reaches the corcluslon
that in the present «tate of the ques-
tion as indicated by the rulings of the
supreme court and with the limitations
upon the power of congress he could
not recomme/d that steps be taken
to secure federal regulation. Contin-
uing the senator says:
“You talk about the state Insurance
commissioners being politicians. Any
person In Washington who holds a
position of a similar etsracter is a
politician the creation of the states-
man who put him there. What have
you today in any line of federal su-
pervision that you can point to and
say that the supervision of insurance
would be recommendable or sensible?
Take the national banks. I point to
the failure In a short period of time
of national banks amounting to 8200.-
000 000 in capital. The money lost Is
from the same widows and orphans
that you claim you want to protect In
insurance supervision by the govern-
ment. I want to tell you also that a
committee of United States senators
who recently investigated these fail-
ures reported back to the senate that
they were caused by the dishonesty
and Incompetency of the men sent
out from Washington to do the work
of suniervlalon. They don't pay
enough at Washington for the right
kind of men to do the work. For any
office from the president down they
ought to pay three times as much.
The man that they would put up for
commissioner of Insurance would only
get five thousand dollars a year. Mr.
Morton deserted the cabinet for a most
tempting offer here in New York and
I told him when he left that I would
be tempted to desert the United States
senate if a similar position esme along
my way. I don't believe that congreaa
will put itself in the position of pass-
ing s question up to the supreme court
that it Is sure of getting turned down
on.”
Speaking of federal control of in-
surance and the support of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company to the
project Washington is very much in-
terested in the investigation of the
Mutual company by Its own officials
and stockholders. Apparently this
investigation Is to be conducted for
the principal purpose of shaking out
the McCurdy regime.but under the cir-
cumstances the public 1s rather skep-
tical as to such reports. As will be
remembered it was brought out on
the witness stand In New York that
the interesting little apecisl dispatches
concerning the investigation of the
Mutual which appeared In many ps-
pers throughout the country and In
which such innocent looking) state-
ments throughout the country and in
which such looking state-
ments on as “President McCurdy’s tes-
timony made a most favorable impres-
sion on the committee” appeared
were paid for at the rate of a dollar
a line. As much of the information
concerning what the committee pro-
poses to do also appears as New
York "specials” the public in this
city at least are wondering whether
this is not also dollar or two a line
matter. If so and the Mutual is now
utilizing the telegraphic press agency
through which it has dispensed thou-
sands of dollars every year to the
newspapers to attack President Mc-
Curdy it would indeed seem that his
days are numbered. So far as has
appeared to date the Mutual is the
only company which has spent money
in this direction for the purpose of in-
Huencing public opinion. The Equit-
able and the New York Life have men
in their advertising departments who
act as press agents in that they pre-
pare and circulate to the press Items
which they consider of sufficient In-
terest to justify the papers In publish-
ing them such as Interviews with offi-
cials of the company and statements
of the receipts and expenditures of
the company etc. These Items are
submitted to the papers to be publish-
ed as a matter of news snd no com-
pensation is paid the papers for pub-
lishing them nor is any expected for
the news Itself. Mr Morton took a
bright young man from this city to
New Y’ork with him for the especial
purpose of preparing such matter
the press and circulating it to the Pa-
pers In behalf of the Equitable.
