CHICAGO, Dec 26.-When Emory A. Storrs
the lawyer andsorator, died, few months ago, it
was generally understood that his wife had been
left penniless, and movement was started to
present her with a monetary testimonial, but a
few weeks ago policy for $40, 900 in the Equita-
bic Life Insurance Company of New York was
found among his papers. Not cent of premium
had been paid upon it, however, and the COM
panys local managers refused AZ adjustment of
the claim. Storrss friends then submitted the
matter to the general Offices in New York, but
the latter sustained the local Office. The word
ing of the policy presented fine legal ques-
ton" 1t provided for the payment of an annual
premium and the receipt was annexed, but with
the amount paid blank. The collectors of tho
company had time and again called upon Mr..
Storrs to obtain something on account but with
out success. The company, however, had never
renowned or Cancelled the policy, and eminent
lawyers held that upon this fact the widow
could recover, and that, moreover, the wording
Of the policy implied that'the premium had been
paid Finally, the company offered a payment
OF $1,000 and yesterday the offer was accepted.

THE WAR ON LANG.
Another Rumor to the Effect that He Is To
Be Immediately Removed.

The saloon-keepers are again making vigor
Gus howl for the removal of Superintendent
Lang The raid made on them for violating
the law on Christmas has ''stirred up the
animals" and through Statesman Coy the de-
mand has again been made that either Murphy
| or Lang must go. ut is claimed that there was
discrimination in the arrests that were made, v
said an official in position to know the inside
facts, to a Journal reporter last night
"and complaint is made especially because
the Grand Hotel was raided, and the Bates
House was not The Grand contributed $3.50 to
the Democratic campaign fund, and supposed
that this would entitle it to protection against
police interference with its business. Since the
arrest on Christmas day they have complained
vigorously. Saloon keepers generally, have
joined in the demand for the removal of the super
| intendent, who seems to think that the enforce
ment of the law means the enforcement of the
law. conference between Commissioner Muir
ply and John j. Cooper was held
on Saturday. Cooper told Murphy
that Lang would have to be
removed or there would have to be a change in
the board. Mr.. Murphy is said to have promised
that change should be made, and was told by
Mr.. Cooper that it must be done at once. The
threat is now held over the head of Mr.. Murphy
that if he does not vote for Langs removal at
once. he will be deposed from the board when the
successor of Morrison is elected. You may de-
pend upon it. now. something will be done within
the next three or Jour days"

change of polcy-that the laws shall not be en-
forced against saloon keepers?"

Commissioners in making the raid on Christmas

II understand that no special instructions
were given. When John FrenZel was member
of the board there was standing rule that all
laws should be enforced; but there was what
was known higher law-that is, the super
intendent was required to inquire Of the Com
missioners, all extraordinary occasions,
if there were any special Instructions
understand that Lang asked Mr. Murphy if
there were any special instructions
for Christmas, and was told that
there were not. So he gave orders to the men
to enforce the saloon laws on Christmas. They
obeyed by arrestiuc every saloon-keeper that
they found selling liquor on that day. and this
will be the cause Of his removal l know what
l am talking about now. He will be removed
within the next three or four days. or Mr.. Muir
ply will be deposed from the board.
