ROTTEN MANAGEMENT.
How the National Life Association Did
Insurance Business.

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov 7.--Commission-
er of Insurance Frederick A. Belts will
make public tomorrow the report of his in
vestigations of the National Life Associa-
tion of this city. the outcome of which will
be the requested resignation of President
Fletcher and Director Wilbur, the volun-
tary resignation of II. T. Braman, the sec
retary, and the reorganization of the COM
pany. According to the report of the COM
missioner it became apparent in the early
stages of the investigation that the officers
of the association attempted in many ways
to mislead the insurance department and
the general public. The chief points of de-
ception were:
The suppression of death claims at the end
Reporting to the insurance department

When IN reality. they were not paid for
some months afterwards.

USED 70 induce benetciaries to accept less
than the amounts due them
The report also gives a detailed statement
from the books of the association which
showed the many discrepancies reported by

nations of President Fletcher. Secretary
Braman and Director Wilbur. the report
says: In accepting these resignations the
association dispensed with the services of
officers whose methods, If continued, would

ests of the policy holders"

New Move by the Wilmington Coal

CHICAGO, Nov. THE Times-Herald
says: Chinese coal miners are to take the
place of Americans in the northern Illinois

THE BLACK JACK GANG.
Train Robbers Maintain Headquarters
Across the Line in Mexico.

SANTA FE, N M, Nov. 7.-United States
Marshal Foraker to-day telegraphed to
Washington for authority to employ five
picked men to take the trail of the gang
that held up the Atlantic & Pacific train
near Grants Station last night. The
marshal left for Grants Station tonight
and expects to receive an answer from the
Washington authorities there. He is salts
fed that the original Black Jack gang of
desperadoes is responsible for this crime.
He says there are eight men in the band,
and last week he had information that they
had returned from Mexico and were in
Arizona.
For some time Marshal Foraker has been
trying to get authority from the Mexican
government to arrest this gang. He has
known the location of their stronghold in
the mountains and had hoped to be able
stand trial for the many crimes supposed
TO have been committed by them in New
Mexico and Arizona, but the government
of Mexico refused to give any authority in
this matter, insisting that before any step
was taken all the evidence against Black
Jack and his gang should be laid before and
reviewed by Minister Romero at Washing
ton. 1t is feared before their arrest can
be effected the Black Jack gang will have
reached their mountain hiding place and be
free from arrest until Mexico can be pre-
vailed on to consent to their eXtradition
