ADMITS HE VIOLATED STATE STAMP TAX LAW Edward E. McCall, Chairman of the Public Service Commission, flushed of face, nervous in manner and guardedly on the defensive, was before the Thompson Legislative Committee today to explain further about his stock interest in the Kings County Electric Light and Power Company, which is subject to the Commission's supervision. Chairman McCall laid before the committee for examination the original certificates for 387 shares of the company’s stock which he once owned but claimed to have transferred to his wife. These papers, to- gether with the Chairman's admissions under relentless cross-examina- tion, revealed the following state of affairs: The certificates were in the name of John J. Mackin, personal attendant and dummy for McCall. They had not been assigned nor endorsed over to Mre. McCall eo far as either the certifioates or the books of the company show. They were signed only In blank by the dummy Mackin and Mre. MoCall’s name nowhere appeared. He had given the certificates te Mre. McCall, who put them in jher bureau drawer, where he found them te-day. The only evidence of the transfer wae a statement MoCall made in which he sald he had mi @ pencilled memorandum of instrue- whioh he said he made at the time. He could not produce this pencilled memorandum, did not knew ld not find it, No transfer stamps were affixed to the certificates or the pen- cilled memorandum tions “for information,” where it was and required by law on all transfers, memoranda or agremente for sale of securities. Failure of any person to obey this law and affix stampe to the amount of two cents for each $100 face value of stocks is @ misde- meanor, calling for nalty of $800 to $1,000 fine, not more than six monthe imprisonment or both. McCall had bought the stock on margin about 1903 and the cer: tificates had been carried in names of brokers until 1908, when he took them up and had them registered in the name of Mackin, the dummy. Taking the witnens chair in th GIRL'S $100,000 SUIT SETTLED BEFORE TRIAL committee's hearing room at No, 166 Brondway, McCall drew from this pocket the stock certificates and handed them over to Counsel Lewis.
