Dr. John A. Clarke, revealed that on February 26, Dr. John E. Hurskamp, of Greenwich, hung himself in his of- fice and on March 3, Mra. Aurelia Beck Foster of Red Bank, N. J., threw herself from the second story of the Blythe Wood sanitarium. In neither case was the suicide reported to the police, According to the certificate of death filed by the medical examiner. Dr. Hurskamp ended his life by hanging himself from a door in his office located at 411 Field Point * The best information available be- fore the annual meeting of stock- holders was called to order at noon today was that Col. Stewart, farm boy-lawyer-politicilan rough rider and 62-year-old chairman of the company's board, was whipped; that the Rockefeller forces, assaulting his “moral fitness,” had more than enough proxies to end his 11 years' leadership. Col. 8tewart's business report fol- lowed the reading 9f the minutes and was a glowing account of the company's activities in 1928. Col. Stewert reported net earnings for 1928, before taxes, of $83,437,166 vs compared with $33,197,456 in 1927, an increase of $50,239,710, He proceeded with the long list of figures with no show of exulta- tion. The chairman said that after re- serve of $6,100,000 for taxes, the nct earning for 1928 were $77,337.- 166 as compared with ¥30,132,456 in 1927, an increase of $47,204,710. Net earnings for the company for 11928 included an extra cash divi |dend from the Midwest company of $21,821,870. When Col.
