cles will be filed ut Lansing to-day by
Homer l.. Boyle, OF Grand Rapids, for
the incorporation of what the organ
izer believes Is destined to be the most
gigantic institution of the twentieth

plan Is not entirely without merit Is
attested by the fact that Mr.. Boyle
has succeeded in interesting in the
project some of the foremost men OF
Grand Rapids and Michigan. who are
aiding the organization not only with
the influence of their names, but with
their cash. Among the officers are
Mayor Perry, of Grand Rapids; Con-
gressmen Hamilton and W. A. Smith,
United States Senator j. c. Burrows,
c. S. Hazletine, eX-consul to Milan;
Judge a. Morse, ex-cOnsui to Glasgow,
and others of like calibre.
The scheme is based upon a popu-
lar stock membership ut 81 per share.
the idea being to gain such large
constituency In every country on
earth MS to make II practical neces-
sity for the several nations to take
out policies. A dividend upon stock
Is promised from any surplus in the
treasury over certain sum to he
maintained for payment of policies.
