New-York Mutual Live Stock Insurance Company OF
New-York City recently made BY Deputy super
intendent and John A. Horan, ana tney nave
made their report to the superintendent The report
shows that The company was Incorporated on April
% 1890 upon false representations, sworn to by two
of the ncorporaters to the effect that fifty apphca-
tions for policies had been received In wiring when
in fact only two had been received only Two OF tne
nine ineorporators hold the policies OF the company
There is shown to be deficiency OF 1888 In the
nortnary fund and 1862 in the general fund making

unpaid death losses is 800 to meet which there is
only balance of $341 credited to the mortuary fund
None of the officers Of the company is under bonds,
and no one Of them has offered TO make good this
deficiency. A person who recently secured a tudg
ment against the company for S21o has so far been
unable TO collect It,
The report says that the members of the associa-
tion aside from the cerporators. have voice in the
MANAGEMENT Of the company's affairs that majority
of the persons forming the corporation are not insured
in the company and do not hold It's policies that the
moneys received from members for the payment Of
death lssses have not been applied 10 that purpose
nor are they in the possession of the company ,
that assessment notices do not contain information
qulred by hw; that death losses long past due re-
main unpaid and that, therefore. the company has
failed to comply with the provisions of the law and
is conducting the business fraudulently. In con-
clusion, the report says that The interests Of the
public will be best subserd by winding up the affairs
of the company and dissolving the corporation.

Attorney General, that the necessary proceedings

WESTERN TRAFFIC DECISIONS.
TRYING TO STOP MANIPULATION OF RATES AT
VARIOUS JUNCTION POINTS.

TRYING TO STOP MANIPULATION OF RATES AT
VARIOUS JUNCTION POINTS.
Chicago. May 2l-Chafrman Walker today handed
down two decisions Of the Board Of Commissioners OF
the Western Traffic Association. one Is In the rorn
of a resolution setting forth that in certain cases
rates from the territory OF the Association 10 Eastern
points have been made by taking the agreed tariff
rates from the point OF shipment 70 the eastern bound
ary Of the Association and adding thereto rates
less than the published tariffs for transportation east
Of The eastern boundary line. This means that
while the Western roads may be guiltless OF any
Irregularities Of the Eastern lines are secretly
shading rates. and that the Western lines, knowing
this, have been quoting through rates to shippers
on the basis Of the cuts by their Eastern con-
nections. The Commissioners decide that the by
laws Of the Association prohibit the making OF
through rates In the manner described In their
opinion through rates cannot properly be made other
wise than by publication OF a through tariff, naming
rates from point of shipment to destination, or by
the addition Of regular published rates to and from
some intermediate basng point points. BY TINS
construction of the agreement It is hoped to put
stop to the manipulation Of through rates which
has been persistenty practised Of late at various
junction points.
The other decision is IN the matter Of the applca
ton Of the Northern Pacific Railroad for relief from
the effect OF special contracts made by certain COM
panies whose lines constitute portion OF the Union
Pacific system. II appears that a number OF con-
tracts have been made In which certain rates are
garanteed for the transportation Of freight not COW
cred by the bylaws Of the Association or by the Inter
state Commerce Law. In these coutrncts the pro
vision is made that the parties receiving such rates
shall ship or cause to be shipped by the lines OF
transportation commonly known the Union Pacific
system all freight which they may receive from or
forward to any points reached By those pes or their
Connections In the opinion of the Board such con-.
tracts Constitute an obstacle 30 that fair division Of
competitive traHic between the members which Is
tod hV III
decided therefore that the provision complained Of
shall be cancelled from all existing contracts and
that hereafter no concessions or agreements OF any
nature shall be made ln respect 10 other business than
that covered by the Western Tsic Association ssrec 60
