Rossington. Smith & listed asked
permission of Judge Hook sat
urday at Leavenworth to file a
crossbin on behalf of A. NJ. Bittman in
the suit of E T. Phillips of Kansas
City against J. P. Davis. John z. Noon
and ". NJ Welcome and the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance company in the
federal court.
Judge Hook held that the fling Of the
cross-bil should be withheld until after
the hearing of the demurrer. Judge
Hook has taken the case under advise
ment.
In its inception the Kansas Mutual
Life Insurance company sold insurance
on the assessment plan" In 1892, six
years after its organization. it was
changed to an "old line" company.
Many of its original policy holders sur
rendered their policies and accepted
new ones, but some continued to pay
their premiums on the old plan, and
they number about 1900. The original
bill fled on behalf of Phillips is de-
signed to ascertain the rights of the
1900, while the crossbill seeks to fix
and secure the rights Of 5000 policy
holders who have come in under the
new plan; 50 the suit is a complex one
and viii attract much attention, espec-
tally among insurance men.
The allegations OF the crossbill are
based upon the original bill Of Phillips
and the answer filed by the company
that It is a mutual or cooperative cor
poration- Upon this premise the cross
bill charges that under the laws OF
Kansas such companies have no right
to issue policies which agree TO pay a
stated sum for a fixed premium, but
that Notwithstanding this statutory
prohibition such contracts have been
made, the policy holders accepting them
upon the representation that by the re
Organization the company had the
right to make them. BY these repre-
sensations it is alleged policy holders
have been induced to pay more than a
million dollars to the cmopany. 1t is
further alleged in the crossbId that the
officers of the company issued the poll
cies knowing that they had no right to
do 50. and that the purpose of their re-
organization was TO save the company
from insolvency and to perpetuate
themselves in Office
Under the insurance laws of Kansas
there are two classes of insuran nee com
panies authorized to do business. One
is what is known as mutual com

payment upon contributions of their
members. This class may insure only
members and cannot issue policies for
stated sums for fixed price The
other class must have joint stock

futile search for her Is year old son,
Robert. who IN company with another
boy named Kendall. ran away from
home June q 10 go to the harvest
fields in Pratt county. The boys work
ed in the wheat fields about two weeks,
and then started westward again.
The Kendall boy wrote to his parents
who live on Klein street, but young
Hayes was not heard from. until a
friend of Mrs. Hayes who arrived from
New Mexico, said she had seen Robert
at work in the Harvey hotel at Albu-
querque.
a week later. after writing to her son
in care OF the hotel, Mrs Hayes Went
in search of him, but reached Albu-
Querque just two days after his depar-
ture- She could learn nothing about
his destination and only found that he
had gone west toward California, after
first starting south into Old Mexico and
changing his mind. His mother then
gave up the chase and returned home.
but has telegraphed all along the Santa
F'e line west OF Albuquerque in hopes
of finding him
The other boy who went with him
as Tar as Albuquerque, has returned
home
In an interview with State Journal
reporter this morning, Mrs. Hayes said:
Robert is not q bad boy, and can't
understand why he don't at least write
home. He had never shown any dispO-
sition to leave home before and I think
the Kendall boy is TO blame for his
leaving home He was a good boy to
work and will probably get employ
ment wherever he goes, but can't help
worrying about him.
The boys father, Arthur c. Hayes.
who is a machinist in the Santa F'e
shops, think the boy will return none
the worse for his trip. and constantly
advises his mother to let him run his
course. and cease worrying, but. being
his mother she continues to search for
him by letter and telegraph.

yachting sharps had their first glimpse
OF the new challenger by daylight The
grace and beauty OF the lines of her
slender body we're marred by her cum
ber0us cruising rig and the litter and
confusion on her deck as her crew were
preparing to weigh anchor But one
glance was sufficient TO convince the
experts that Watson had built q much
handsomer boat than the other Sham
rock. She looks the fastest boat ever
turned out in British waters. One Of
her beauties IS Watson's peculiar tilt
or tumble home along the top sides,
and her great overhang gives her the
appearance of speed. She was painted
green like the irish knights first cha1-
Ienger but the paint on the sides of
her upper works had been scraped off

encountered, and these spots showed
