An Insurance Company in Trouble.

BUFFALO. Sept. cS.-The Life and Reserve
Association. of Buffalo, is on the decline. Ex-
aminer shannon could not find $1,000 that il
ought to have according to its books and Dis
tslct Attorney Gilbert came here yesterday and
made motion for the appointment of a
receiver. Ii was quietly done later in the alter
noon, and argument was heard on the
motion. Moses Shire, attorney for DR.. NJ. NJ.
Fenner, read a sensational affidavit. charging
that Harlan j. Swift, an ex-judge and the late
president OF the association, had taken from the
Golfers $4,000, of which no trace could be found;
that Swift had informed Libble +. Couch, secre-
tary, that he had taken s., 100 from the funds to
discharge mortgage. but that no such mort
gage was ever returned and that the
secretary was unable to 6nd any cred
1t to swift to Offset this; further.
that &. W. Carlin, another director, had taken
various amounts, agcregating $2,1No. from the
still due the association. Cariin is a prominent
architect, we'll known throughout the state He
and SWIFT, with A. A. Aldrieh, the deposed sec
rotary, constituted the executive committed
When one of them wanted money the Others
sanctioned it. Carlin and Swift raised Aldrich's
salary. Aidrich and Carlin raised the fees of
Swift as attorney for making loans OF trust
funds, and when Csrlin wanted to borrow the
other two accommodated him. When Exam
liner shannon discovered this state of affairs he
discharged Aldrich at once. Swift at that time
was visiting on the Pacific COST When he
came back he was told that the officers must be-
ousted and new officers put in charge. so that
the policy holders might be protected. He failed
in his attempt to get himself reinstated in
power, and SO the application for a receiver fol-
lowed. There are over 5000 members, who
carry insurance aggregating $7,09l 900. Judge
Lewis reserved his decision.

FAIRHAvEN, Oct The Fairhaveu Yacht
Club has filed protest with the International
Yachting Association agsinst the proposed
change OF date of the Seattle regatta The club
had been informed by member OF the execu-
tive committee that the regatta would not be
held until the 10th. and, relying upon that
statement. alterations and Improvements had

but in q breeze brisk enough 10 iairly test their
sailing qualities. Some OF the Seattle yachts
men know this, and IL is minated that they
have allowed that knowledge to influence them
In fixing the date for the regatta 1t Is to be
hoped that favorable consideration of the pro-
test OF the club may prove that there is no good
cause for such suspicion.
The charges of the Fairhaven shippers
are purile and preposterous on the face of
them. October 10 was never at any time
officially announced as the date of the re-
gatta. 1t was at first fixed on October 8.
A member of the Seattle Yacht Club, who
had been on visit to Port Townsend.
brought back word that he had been told
would be preferred by some of the clubs,
and he made the statement in an open
meeting of the club in this clty. A letter
to the club from the chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee followed shortly after
ward, in which it was stated that whoever
had mentioned October 10 had no author
ity from the committee to make such a
statement; the committee had decided to
leave the date entirely with the Seattle
club and it was generally understood that
it was to be October 3.
At a meeting of the Seattle Yacht Club
held last Tuesday night the selection of a
date was left entirely with the regatta
committee standing committee of the
club. As there had been word received
that certain boats from Anacortes and
Port Townsend could not take part in the
regatta if sailed on October 3. because they
were having sails made and the work could
not be completed, the committee decided
to put the date three days later, on next
Thursday, October 6.
This is the first intimation the Seattle
club, if the words of it's officers are to be
believed, has had that the Beilingham bay
boats would not be in readiness. The
"kickers" have given no notification
whatever that they desired a postponement
and their protest at this late hour is, to say
the least, remarkable. The Seattle Yacht
Club, still in its infancy, is endeavoring to
gain high prestige by making a success of
first international regatta held under its
auspices and certainly could not afford,
nor would its officers be SO foolish, as to
attempt any such underhand work as is
| charged by the Fairhaven yachtmen.
