City engineer Tee is Of the opinion
that the authorities of the city should
take Immediate steps to punish those
careless persons who throw rubbish
on the streets and as well make 1t nec-
essary for people to remove woodpiles
within reasonable time. He called the
attention OF the council to the matter
last night. suggesting that 1t would
be advisable to empower the superin-
tendent OF streets to make arrests
Superintendent Kearney could not see
things in this light. He said there
were enough policemen to make all the
arrests necessary. Mr.. Morton be-
lieved that If one example were to be
made OF a careless resident the prac-
tices complained Of would soon cease,
and It Is likely the ordinances regu-
lating the two offenses will be en-
forced hereafter.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 2o.-Perhaps no case ex-
cept the recent fractional case has come before
the supreme court of this state in which the
interest Is more general than in the suit brought
by the Equitable Life Assurance society against
Zeno M. Hest, commissioner Of insurance, enjoin-
ing him from revoking the license of the plaintiff
company to do business in this state. The suit
is brought in equity and comes to the supreme
court on appeal from the circuit court or
Dane county. The decision there was for the de-
PENDANT.
The arguments were closed yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Host threatened to revoke the license
of the company If within thirty days 1t d,d not
give notice of willingness to comply with the re-
quirements Of section 1862, statutes of 1898, re-
gardng the surplus in mutual insurance compa-
MES. The section in question reads:
Every life insurance corporation doing bust
ness in this state, upon the principal OF mutual
insurance, or the members of which are entitled
to share in the surplus funds thereof, may make
distribution of such surplus as they may nave
accumulated annually, or once in two, three, four
or five years, the directors thereof may from
| time to time determine. In determining the
amount Of the surplus to be distributed there
shall be reserved amount not less less thar
| the aggregate net value of all the outstanding
policies
other words the Equitable's sattorneys contend
| that the section is permissiVe and not man
datory; If it is mandatory they say, has there
not been practical construction of the provis
| ion in past years by the department of 1nsur
ance of this state which is now binding upor
the court; and, If mandatory, is the preferred
| dividend policy in contravention of the sale
provisions? The attorneys for the commissions
contend that the company should distribute thei
surplus annually. ;
Should the Interpretation Of Mr.. Host be helt
by the court to be correct, it would mean thu
paying over yearly of the surplus on $12, ,OO'
in policies Of this company in Wisconsin. Thi
is test case and other companies are watchin'
it anxiously, as there IS involved the premium o.
