LIFE INSURANCE REPORTS.
To IN. Editor Of rAs tribune


To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR: As a reader of your valuable journal,
permit 70 PROFOUND few questions through your
columns TO the Globe Life Insurance Company, OF New
York IN which company I am poliey-hoder. Inc
questions that desire answered are drawn forth by
statement Of the company mailed me, which, on the
face Of looks aterng indeed but as 1t does not go
into details It amounts to naught. would ask;
l. For what purpose does the company require the
sum S16s S32 % charged for expensesi exclusive
Of commercial and travelling expenses Of Agentsl
Is it for the salaries Of its officers aud employees and
what salaries do the officers receiver AS party In
interest have a right TO know.
2. There is item in the report for Commercial
and Travelling Expenses Of Agents" OF $154649 TO-
which IL an enormous figure to be paid out OF com
panys earnings for the sole purpose OF drumming up
business" Is this company making enough money 10
carry this expense do the officers propose TO run the
thing into the ground .
g. In their statement or assets they have an item OF
81 O52 O73 SO for real estate. Now s this fair
valuation 1t about what the property was bought
in at several years ago when prices were high Let
me company give us a few more figures and little
more light on this item.
4. In their statement OF assets they have an item
OF S7s GAG OF for Loans stocks and bonds colla
eral" Now are these loans the same that were made
10 the Long Island shore Railroad Of which Mr. r. Free
man. president Of the Globe Insurance Company Is
treasureri II they not worth one cent to
the Globe Company, the road has never paid any
interest It also appears that the company has made
still other AMI Improbable investments, that tue
company had loaned $4,000 $50 600 Of the bonds OF
the New York, West Shore and Chicago Railroad which
has been built and the stock OF which Is worthless
The company claims 70 lie secured IN this instance by
notes individual named John Van Nest, who rs the
promoter of the railroad scheme. What Is this security
wOrthi
5. Then, again. there is item in their statement
Of assets for 81 500 2Of 80 for stocks and bonds
owned (at market valued" Does this item ineude any
such securities as have described above
have taken the liberty OF thus far encrOachng upon
your valuable space because deem FOR the interest OF
large number Of persons who, like myself are paving
their money into that 10 In an apparently
reckless manner PAYS salaries 20 It's officers
and employees, and then gets mp elaborate report
with nothing In IL TO show po,cyhOder what chance
has for q return OF ms money. except lew hgures
that do not convey any meaning. | THINK therefore
that the least this company do Is u throw little
more light on these subjects or let the Insurance Super
incudeut investigate. POLCf-HOLDEk.

ACCOUNTS from California make itap
pear that the political elements. in the
golden State are very much disturbed.
There are many parties, or factions; and
they all appear bent on disorder The
population is very much mixed. and all
the worst ideas of civil government are
represented. The depression of business,
and lack of employment incline many to
desperate measures; and there appears to
be but little hope Of any settlement Of po-
litical or social affairs on conservative
basis. 4

If THAT was a representative comman-

into the magazine of coast guard vessel
with lighted candle in his hand, it is
perhaps, we'll enough that Ecuador had
only one vessel to be blown up. If there
were even one more vessel in that navy i,
would have been good discipline to send
the remaining officers of the Eauadorian
navy as apprentices to some stone quarry
in the vicinity, where they might learn
something about the nature of gunpowder

render necessary the adoption ofprompt
measures to suppress vagrancy by more

adopted. Organizations that have been
formed for the purpose of systematic b gb~

recognized outlaws, and not by laborers
who are out of employment.
