ONE MAN BLOCKS THE WAY.
PLANS OF THE METROPOLITAN TRACTION COM
PANY FOR GIVING EMPLOYMENT
TEMPORARILY DELAYED.

PLANS or THE METROPOLITAN TRACTION COM
PANY FOR GIVING EMPLOYMENT
TEMPORARILY DELAYED.
The plans which the Metropolitan Traction Com
pany have matured for beginning work immed-
ateiy upon LeXngton-ave. have met n temporary
setback II designed to begin the construc-
ton Of the cable road from Twenty-thrd-st. to
the Harlem River at once so as to furnish en-
poyment to the large number of laborers in need
of work
1t was ascertaned yesterday that property
owner refuses TO give his consent to the project,
and his action will block the company for three
months in all probability. In this case 1000 men
who were TO have work the line will be de-
prived Of that work until the matter Is adjusted.
Property worth less than 100000 situated be-
tween Thirty fourth and Forty-second SITS. stands
In the way Of the proposed undertaking. The con-
sent of the owners Of the majority OF the property
along the whole length Of the route has to be Sc
cured before beginning can be made in the work.
From Forty-second-st to the Harlem the requisite
permission has been obtained. and the route Is
also clear between Thirty fourth and Twenty third
SITS.
John d. Crlmmns. who has charge Of the pro-
posed improvements when seen last night by a
Tribune reporter. refused to give the name Of the
obstructionist In speaking OF the matter he said:
I'VE had hoped to have overcome the obstacles
in the way Of proceeding with the work at once
The man who Is standing In the way partially
agreed to withdraw his opposition. but now seems
firmly resolved to defeat plans His refusal
seems particularly unreasonable. there is at
present a horsecar line on Lexington-ave, between
Thirty-iifth and Fortysecond SITS. The change we
make IS another system of transit merely Now.
II seems, we shall have to carry the matter into
the courts We have fear Of unfavorable
decision, but It Is likely to be ninety days before
we can begin operations"
The company has already begun It's improvements
in Coumbus-ave. Ground is broken between Sixty
fifth and Sixty-seventh SITS, and when the work Is
fairly under way 500 men will be employed In that
line
The company's Offices are thronged daily with
applicants. In engaging men, those only are hired
who make the city their home. and the floating
population drawn here temporarily Is rejected Pref
cronce Is given 20 married men who have families
to support. Agents sent out to investigate the
condition OF applicants and make that their
representations are genuine.

BARRED FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Commercial Alliance Life Com
pany's License Revoked There.
Action Said to BE Due to New York
State Advices.

The action of Superintendent of In
surance James F. Pierce in requesting
the Attorney-General to begin proceed
ings for the appointment of a receiver
for the Commercial Alliance Life In
surance Company, of this city, has re-
suited in Insurance Commissioner
Tuper, of Pennsylvania, revoking the
license of the Company to do business
in that State.
A telegram from Harrisburg, Pa, to-
day states that Commissioner Tuper, in
revoking the license and notifying the
Company to at once cease doing business
in that State, acted upon advice from the
Insurance Department of the State of
New York that the Company is insol-
vent.
William II. Pierce, Vice-President of
the Commercial Alliance Life Insurance
Company, was seen at his Office in the
Postal Telegraph Building to-day by
an Evening World" reporter. Regard

the Company had been notified that Its
license In Pennsylvania had been re-
voked.
sylvania large enough to make this &c.
tion disastrous to the Company" asked
the reporter.
Not necessarily So" replied Mr..
Pierce. I'VE have done very large
and prosperous business in that State.
better even than in New York, and, of
course, it will be. a great loss to us. If,
however, we make good the deficiency
that the Superintendent OF Insurance
says exists, the Pennsylvania authori-
ties will have to renew our license"
Continuing, Mr.. Pierce said that he had
not seen the President of his Company
to-day, but that when he saw him last
night the President said that the money
to cover the deficiency would be deposit
ed. The question Of a deficiency is dis
puted by the Company's officials.
The controversy arises over the fact
that the Company holds II has a right
to treat unpaid premiums, which are
to be paid in monthly, bi-monthly and
semi-monthly payments as assets. The
Company has heretofore in its state
ments treated such premiums as as
sets.
The officials of the Company claim
that their legal advice is that they
could beat the State Insurance officers
II they took the question into the
courts, but that the business of the
Company would be injured before a de-
cision could be reached.
