Which Doubt Exists.

Thomas ". I4awsonts two articles In

the Bay State Gas m alter and the other
in continuation Of his criticism OF the
great life insurance companies, are at
tracing much attention. 5
fs An exhibit used In NIr. Lawson's In

because Of tho grave doubt felt as to
whether. tho illustration actually repre-
sents what 1t Is generally believed Mr..
4 Lawson intends that 1t shall. This Is a
reduced fac slnile of n contract OF sale
between the Equitable Life Assurance
Society and Mr. Lawson for ono OF the
GEquitable's twenty-year gold bonds for
one million dollars.
Touching this exhibit Mr.. Lawson says:
My readers will bear in mind before
& taking hold OF my next exhibit that tho
great insurance companies havo published
mo as a falsifier who since 1892 has been
refused insurance and backlisted " for
good reasons and that Mr. AlcCqll's lct-
4 ters We're circulars sent me by mistake.

production on tho opposite page of a doc
i,lnlent that Is now and has always been

delivered to me by one OF the three great
representatives OF the SYSTEM" the

document speaks for itself. My readers

LEGATIONS which preceded tho making of
an insurance contract. To them and to

Mr.. Lawson does not say that he ever

While the leaders Of the House OF Rep

delegates at large and alternates to

was called to order at noon today in
the Taylor Opera House by United

vention. According to present plans
the state convention Will name Gov.
Murphy Senators Kean and Dryden,
and David Baird, of Camden, as dele
gates at large. The convention will
not instruct for the nomination of
President Roosevelt. but the platform
will contain a strong Endorsement OF
the presidents administration and the
New Jersey delegates are expected tC

Bishop Whitaker's 74th Birthday.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 10.-To-
day Right Rev. OH William Whitaker,
bishop Of the protestant Episcopal di-
Geese of Pennsylvania, entered upon
his 74th year and was the recipient of
numerous notes and cards of congrat-
ulation from his friends, both in and
out of the church. No celebration of
the anniversary was held owing to
Bishop Whitaker's age and physical
infirmities.
Bishop Whitaker is native of
Massachusetts and received his edu-
cation at Middleburg college and the
General Theological Seminary in New
York, graduating from the latter in
1868. Six years, later he was elected
missionary bishop of Nevada, and
filled that position until 1885, when he
was chosen bishop coaejutor of Penn
sylvania to assist Bishop Stevens.
When the latter died in 1887 Bishop
Whitaker succeeded him. The active
management of the affairs of the do
cese is now largely in the hands of
Bishop A. Mackay- Smith. who was
chosen coadjutor bishop to assist
Bishop Whitaker, two years ago.

Alabama Republicans.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1O.-Pros-
poets We're bright for a harmonious
gathering when the republican state
convention was called to order here
at noon today. The convention will
select delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton and nominate a state ticket and
the sessions may be prolonged for sew
eral days.
1t was thought some time ago that
the Lily Whites" who are opposed to
the Roosevelt administra ton and have
heretofore been in control of the par
ty machinery, would attempt to make
trouble in the convention. But when
the sO-caIIed Black and Tan element
succeeded in gaining control of af-
fairs the Lily Whites" accepted de-
feat gracefully and 1t is believed that
the plans to have the state convention
come out strongly for Roosevelt and
to have to Alabama delegates instruc-
ted to vote To- his denomination will
go through the state convention with
out much difficulty.
