an opportunity OF going home to luncheon. He
added that he thought the teachers were In favor or
the scheme and that parents might be.
Nevertheless there protests from teachers
and parents against the change BY these DIRECTORS

Lake a woman, who Immediately upon
her arrival inserted in one of the morn
ing papers an advertisement reading
as follows:
Wanted, for adoption, baby boy,
from to months old, with blue eyes
No question asked as to parentage.
The woman stopped at lodging
house, and maintained such an air of
secrecy that all efforts to learn her
identity were unavailing, during her
stay in the city. and she was known
only as Mrs Smith The day after the
appearance of the advertisement She
received a call from a young girl, the
daughter of respected parents, who
had an illegitimate child. and which
answered the requirements Of the ad-
vertiser. The result was that the
young mother surrendered her child.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The executive
officers of most of the large life insur-
ance companies held a meeting Satur-
day to devise means for stopping the
practice of giving rebates on premiums.
President John K. Hegeman, of the Me-
tropolitan Life, presided. Resolutions
drawn by Commissioner CT. S. Merrill
were adopted. After setting forth the
facts that the legislatures of twenty-one
states have enacted laws forbidding re-
bates under penalty: that such laws
have generally been a dead letter; the
companies have placed themselves with
out exception in opposition 10 rebating,
and that the practice can be suppressed
only by the active organized cooperation
OF all life insurance companies, they
were as follows:
Resolved. That each of the subscrib-
ing companies agrees that il viii not
pay or allow or offer to pay or allow.
nor permit any person connected with it
in any capacity to pay or allow. or offer
10 pay or allow, any rebate of premium,
in amy manner whatsoever, directly or
indirectly; that a referee who has no
official connection with any life inSur-
ance company shall be appointed. who
shall examine into and decide all charges
OF Tebdting by agents or others, and
whose decisions shall be final; that on
the decisiOn of the referee that any per-
son connected in any capacity with any
subscribing company has made any re-
bate. such person shall Immediately bs
dismissed from the service of said COM
pany and shall not, for a period of two
years thereafter, be again employed by
any company that is party TO this agree
ment."
The referee is empowered TO procure
prosecutions for violation Of The laws
and against the rebating and 10 employ
counsel to assist. A fund of $4,000 is to
be made up and maintained in the ref
eree's hands by assessment on the sub
Scribing companies. The referee is to
receive a salary of 81. 900 a year and his
af4Tfl fol
allowed an amount not exceeding 5000
for a secretary and clerical assistance.
The agreement is to go into effect on
