THE LITIGATION is BEGUN.
First Step I'm PoHcy-HOIders' Fight
Against Mutual Reserve Fund.

The first stage of the litigation Of the
holders of policies in the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association against hat COM
pany was before Judge Minor yesterday.
Mr.. William l.. Royal, representing the
policy-holders, moved the court to enter
an order requiring the company to pro-
duce it's books here for his inspection, al
leging in his a~fidavits, upon which the
motion was based, that the manager Of
the company had Incorporated large
sums of the company's money, and that
no increased assessment is necessary, or
would be necessary, if he had not done
this.
Major Charles S. Stringfellow appeared
for the company, and argued deliberately
a number of questions, dwelling chiefly
upon the point that the court could
make no order, because it had no power
TO enforce its order, as the defendant was
a New York corporation, and all of its
property was in New York.
The argument lasted several hours, ana
at it's conclusion Judge Minor said that
the only point he would decide now was
that the plaintiffs motion for the order
was premature, and hat he must wait
until the defendants answer was due be-
fore he could have any ruling upon the
questions. The Judge said, though, that
he could not rule nov that the plaintiff
would have no right to the order asked
for, because If he proved that the COM
pany had done what he alleged, the court
might feel compelled to make some order
in the case that accounted with the facts
proved. 1t might feel compelled, for in
stance, TO enter an order appointing a
commissions to go to New York n
make an examination of the books, in
case II should think it had no power to
order the production Of the books here,
but he reserved all questions to be dis
posed of at a later stage of the case.
On being asked what he had to say Of
the decision, Mr.. Royal said he felt that
he had climbed over the only obstacle in
the case that had given him any trouble.
He had feared the Judge might say he
had no jurisdiction to deal with the sub
ject matter. Blu having failed to say
that he felt that the Judge thought his
court could entertain the case. and, If he
entertained ii. Mr.. Royal said he had no
fear for the ultimate result.
