PROFIT SHARING.

,. PIsrrOnt BIorgan's Combine to Take
100000 Miners as Partners.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Rapid strides
have been made in arranging the de-
tails on the great coal mining, carry
ing and selling combination, of which
J. PierpOut Morgan is the presiding
genius The capitalists will so ar
range that they viii be in the closest
touch with the working miners Of the
states affected, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
The most interesting feature of the
new continuation Is the profit sharing
plan for the miners. The Importance
of this plan viii be seen, when IT is
stated that 200, 900 men viii be affected.
It is In the power Of these men, by
good or bad conduct, to save or lose
millions Of dollars annually to the
companies. The companies now pro-
pose to enlist the miners, so that they
viii see it is to their personal interest
to cooperate in the new arrangements.

Realize On His Policy.
WASHINGTON, Jan 1S-In the su-
Preme court Justice Harlan handed
down an opinion In the case OF A.
Howard Ritter, executor of William
NJ hunk, vs. the Mutual Life Insur-
anee company Of New York, involving
the question Of whether the heirs Of
man who commits suicide when in
sound mind can recover on an insur-
anee policy. It appeared from the
facts that Mr.. Runk, a resident Of Phil
adelphia, committed suicide within
less than a year after increasing his
insurance to the extent Of 500, coo,
making an aggregate insurance Of
$500, 600 upon his life. It was shown
IN the trial court that Runk was sane
In deciding the case Justice Harlan
said that In fixing the premium the
company would naturally take into
consideration their circumstances
bearing upon the duration Of life, and
no company would undertake to insure
against suicide If any should make
such an attempt, it would, he said, be
against public policy and would
not be allowed Concluding, he said
explicitly that no person committing
suicide and found to be of sound mind
oU,.iI recover upon his policy.

LIFE INSURANCE TAX.

Indiana's Governor Wants to Assess All
Policies Having a Surrender Value.
IEDIANAPOLIs, Ind, Jan. 1S--Gov.
Mount, upon whose suggestion the
board of tax commissioners acted when
it directed that township assessors list
life insurance policies, says he will
give the subject prominence in his
message to the legislature and viii ask
that the Law be amended so as to state
specifically that policies shall be
taxed The governor says as a rule
men do not carry life insurance with a
view of providing against poverty;
they carry it as an investment Under
the decision of the supreme court a life
insurance policy that has a cash sur
render value is property" and the
governor says there Is no valid reason
why it should not be taxed.
