HYORK. X
New York, March 18.—As though
the wonders would never cease in
the Unaucial district,, George W.
Perkins too has turned reformer.
This is the same Perkins who is
with J. P. Morgan & Cos., and who
figured so prominently through being
vice president of the New York Lif t
Insurance Company, in the jnvesti
gation of the insnrun. e companies
during 1905.
in returning to the New York Life
the sum of $48,5.1)0,ttj8h ini crest,
which had been Air Perkio
to reimburse ltimaor money turned
over to the re|)ul*cau national com
intttep in Hint, im t’erkins forestoll
ed the offices oM the company in
any movement thw might have in
angmated to comp® restitution. Tin
court ~f appeals, list monih, when
it decided Ihai alt. iX-kins had con,
milted no criminal ini'"
money from the complrak. suited
plainly that., although not
Ills to, .Mr. 'Poikine could be h"T%
civilly liable to the company. *
Mr. Perkins certainly is one of the
most remarkable men who ever #od
the New York financial trail. No otu
who heard him ttsiify in the insur
ance investigation in reply to ques
tion:-! put by the present governor oi
tne mate, doubts far a moment, that
Mr. Perkins' eh iff ailment Is "exng
gerated ego." His "letter from, fain
er," width he dragged into that in
vest.igation and insisted upon read
ing. probably never never will coast
to be a joke wherever Mr Perkins
name is mentioned.
In spite of these amusing yicie
Iglits on his character, there Is no
denying ihe remarkable success this
man has attained in the financial
world. He started as an office boy
in the New York Life in 1579 ami
now is a muti-vuillionalre member of
the New Yorjp banking
house* while, for a lime, he also pra
tiddly controlled the affairs of tne
big life insurance company with
which lie started.
