' "' - . - PROFITS "OF OVER 80 MILLION First National of N. Y. Pays Enormous Dividends, Says Geo. Baker CONNECTIONS WITH MORGAN Chairman of First National Tells of Relations With ; Money King Favors Stock.. Holdings"- In Competing Companies Washington, January 9. Enormous profits by the , First National Bank of New York, were recounted today by George F . Baker, chairman of the lward of directors of the bank, as a witness before the House Money Trust Committee. Mr. Baker furnished the committee with records . showing that since its organization in : 1863, with a capitalization of $500,000 the hank has made profits amounting to more than $so,ooo,ooo. 1 ; In the four years since 1908, Mr. 'Bai-er told the committee, the bank had paid dividends of 226 per cent or more than twice the total capitaliza tion, which is now ,$10,000,000. - When the capital was "increased to that amount in 1907 a special dividend of $9,500,000 was declared, Mr. Baker said, to enable the stockholders to take up the additional-in vestment. In 1908, in . order to . provide $16,000,000 of capital for the organization of the First Securities Company to take oyer the business which the 'bank c could not do under the law, Mr. Baiker said "a special dividend of 10 milIion was declared." This was .in addition to the regular yearly dividends. - Samuel Untermyer, counsel . for - the committee, from. the figures supplied by Mr. Baker, calculated that since he assumed the presidency of ; the First National in 1873, thatr, institution ha3 paid dividends L of j 18,550 . per cent on its original .capitajizaf ion.v-,. , Mr Baker "flatly opposed the "sugges tion made hy Mr .TJntertriyer that Na- tional banks be requiredto 'make" pttVl lie their assets,? in -order" that deposl tors and stockholders might know' the nature of securities held by the banks, ; the witness declaring that he .saw no possible good that could come of sucfh a provision. That there is "no impro priety in one man holding" "director ships in two or. more potentially com peting banks railroads or; industrial corporations was another stand "taken by Mr. Baker. Mr. Untermyer 're viewed with him a long list of rail roads, in which he-was director, some of which the lawyers held were poten tially competing lines. Mr. Baker de clared that it was rather an advantage to hold such directorships, because differences betweea tlhe companies can thus be readily adjusted. " "Such a situation," he continued, "is often beneficial to all parties con cerned. What may become a test in the courts of the power of the committee investigating affairs of National banks developed today when the committee and the House unanimously directed the speaker to certify .to the district attorney of the District of Columbia; the case of George Henry, the New York banker, who -refused to divulge the names of National bank officers who profited by the flotation of Cali fornia Petroleum stock.-, v- The district attorney will; fie asked to proceed against Mr . Henry for don tempt. The witness did not approve of the voting trustee form of control of cor porations, but said he -would not -disapprove it if stockholders desired it. He further said that the voting trus tees of the Guaranty Trust Company, himself, W. H. Porter and H. P. Da vison had never held , a meeting. ' Mr. Baker said the election of di rectors by the voting trustee or of the Guaranty Company was purely '."for- In on the directors are a self-per- !?tuating boy?'.' asked Mr. Unter myer. - 'Yes," replied the witness. "Things are done in New York .th.at way with out much consideration. If a corpo ration is going along all right and is paying dividends there is no question about the re-election of the direc tors." , - . .. ; . Mr. Baker stated that his bank afcd J. P. Moraran & Company had three directors in the -National Bank of Commerce. "Would you object to giving the com mittee the list of your individual hold ings in the various banks and trust companies?" asked Mr. . Untermyer "Yes," replied ' the witness.v with some emphasis. "I think the commit tee has no more concern with- that than with my tailor's bill. .Isn't it the Concern of Congress whether one National -Tank controls another such bank?'' ' No. I sea no reasonNwhy one bank shouldn't 'control another," declared tne financier. l - i Mr. Untermyer argued with the wit ness at some length" and after a con ference with his counsel, Mr Baiker finally consented to give Ihe list. He saia that besides 20,000 shares of First Jvational stock he owned 4,600 shares in the National Bank of Commerce. 50 sharec in the Chase" National Bank, 3,500 Bankers TrusV;t,000 Guaranty (.continued on Page Eight,) RATES EM?

CLASH AT LEAGUE MEETING Bitter Feelings Develop at Election of ' Officers of Woman's National Democratic.'League Mrs. Scott President. - Vashington,Jan. 9. Questions whether " President-elect Wilson is a free trader and a single tax advocate, and whether he, together with Senator O'Gorman, of New ork, had endorsed Mrs. Steven B. Ayres, for the presi dency of the ; Woman's National Demo cratic League, caused dissension in debates at the second day's session of the convention of that organization here today.

""Within the Law "GuUty,- of; No Crime." , Washington, Jan. 9.jr-A protest against any action by the Senate bas ed pon an appeal to passion or, preju dice, marked -the closing arguments .to day 'in defense of ! Judce Robert W. merce Court; under trial by impeach ment for misbehavior as a Federal judge. Declaring -that Judge Archbald had violated no law, had been guilty of no misdemeanor and no wrong doing, and had been shown to be a jurist of high integrity and honesty, his attorney, Alexander Simpson, Jr., of Philadel phia, and A. S. Worthington, of Wash ington, made avigorous appeal for ac tion by the Senate within the limits of legal procedure. Unless Senators are going to violate their oaths, they: cannot possibly con vict Judge Archbald," declared Mr. Simpson,' because it has been disprov en in each charge , that he was guilty of any wrong -doing -or of any crime. The declarations of Manager Ster ling yesterday in the opening speech for the prosecution that the - "consti tution was on trial" brought bitter der nunciation from both Mr. Simpson and Mr. Worthington. They declared the House managers were striving to im peach yS udge Archbald upon grounds that were not recognized In any court. . "It is true the constitution is on trial," said Mr. Simpson, "but what is on trial is whether or-not the Sena tors who sit here can rise to their po sition as judges and decide this case upon the evidence produced and the law that governs it, or whether they are to be. swayed by -the appeals of passion and prejudice." ;, "If you are' going to say that a man should he turned but of office, although he violated no law, although his deci sions have been impartial, although he had been an upright and honest judge, then you are turning back the hands on the dial of time to the poinl three or four centuries ago when the House of Lords at the behest of the House of Commons turned men out of office sim ply because they did not agree with them. In that respect the constitution is on trial." . Mr. 'Simpson declared the construc tion put upon Judge Archbald's ; acts by : the; House led to the inevitable construction that a judge would not be permitted to order a suit of clothes in a tailor shop owned by one who might some day be a litigant in his court. ; " . "It is probable that this case would never have been begun but for. the political,.- unrest of the times,",? said Mr. Simpson. "I am a part of- that unrest; I believe In it; but it does not. involve a return to "the times of 'the Roman arena, when a victim's fate was set tled by the 'thumbs down' of .the crowd.

"I would like ito see a competitive tariff all along the line," announced Chairman Underwood, of the Ways and Means Committee, Democratic leader of the House at the' final "hearing on: the earth, earthenware and glassware schedule today. Mr. Underwood had been hearing arguments aimed at securing a lower ing of the tariff of 55 and CO per cent to 30 and 35 ad valorem - on ' china, earthenware, , porcelain, stone and crockery ware, including clock cases, statues, steins, lamps and 'a host of similar articles , taxed at ' the higher rate in sections 93 and 45 of schedule B, of the ' Payne-Aldrich tariff law.

Underwood said, "as if schedules 93 and 45 are more competitive - tham most of the paragraphs - we - have to deal ' with That is my judgment, subject to reser vation if any information is brought out that might develop to the con trary. This view" was radically divergent from the presentation of the import ers.' case by M, S ; Pitcairn, of New York city, whose protest against the exorbitancy of the present tariff and portrayal of the- details of "the busi ness of bringing in English ' earthen ware and' other products, led to sharp colloquies, cr lwltn':' Representatives Paynej .

"Do you doubt the integrity, of those statements?" shouted the witness. Mr. Payne persisted and the witness said he could produce the entries from the treasury. Mr. Payne; replied ythat even the Treasury Department couia not pro duce- miracles." Mr. Pitcairn said that 90 per cent of the earthenware imported is Brit-. ish. "Eliminate the English earthen ware," - he continued, "and ' you will have no competition in earthenware in this country." He suggested a 35 and 30 per cent ad valorem duty on these products and changes in the classifications m the two sections in volved and in the administrative part of the bill. Mr. Pitcairn said he hafl heard of under-valuatidns at New York, but knew nothing of them. He had no knowledge of any association of French importers and that the im porters had to sell their goods here at 50 per cent higher pruces than Amer ican products. ' Several' other importers of other products urged larger tariff, while re tention of the present rates was tne slogan of representatives of American manufacturers J. N.

He told of conditions among Belgian la bor citing the contracts Belgian work- ins men have to sign. Some or tne committee were disposed to believe he had been sent to Washington by the National Window Glass Association the employers but said he came at the instance of his working men s or ganlzatiori. The association did not 'pay youj: expenses?" he was asked, "Absolutely, not." he. replied He said the tariff protection should at least be a little more than enough to represent the difference in the cost of labor, as the, American .window Glass Workers, though . working under better conditions than abroad, still had wages that , were too low. "The skilled workmen," he said, "average S15 a week for the whole year,-and the unskilled workmen $10 a week.
