individual defendants agreed with the
defendant society that they would save
said defendant society harmless from
loss by reason of said loan If said So
ciety would refrain from recording
said deed and from enforcing said de-
ficiency judgment. That the said So
ciety did SO refrain, but said defend
ants have neglected and refused to
pay the amount of said losses said So
ciety had so suffered"
1t is further charged that the "de-
PENDANTS wastefully, improperly and
improvidently permitted the defendant
society for a number of years past to
keep during almost the whole of each
year excessive, unnecessary and un-
warranted sums of money on deposit
with the National Bank of Commerce
of New York, the Mercantile Trust
company of New York, the Equitable
Trust company Of New York, CONNER
cjal Trust company of Philadelphia
and at least nineteen other banks and
trust companies in some or all of
which the individual defendants or set
cf them were stockholders, directors or
officers, which sums were deposited at
inadequate rates Of interest, instead OF
investing them In proper and more re-
1nunerative forms of investment, and
permitted said defendant society regu-
larly for a number of years past to
conceal this fact and mislead and de-
ceive the policyholders of the society
in respect thereto, annually on De-
cember 81 to 20 loaning approximately
$4,000, 900 on collateral security, which
said loans have been regularly called
in on January or January S. and the
funds redeposited in the repositories
from which they had been temporarily
withdrawn for this purpose"
After reciting that the society has at
the end of the year caused balance
to be struck purporting to show the
net surplus earned during the preced-
ing year, the complaint declares that
the defendants have failed to divide
among the policyholders an equitable
share Of the net surplus at the expira-
tion of each five years, as provided by
the society's charter.

FEVER REFUGEES ARRIVE
Hotel Registers Show the Names Of
Many Southerners


Many southerners seeking refuge
from the ravages of yellow fever, now
prevalent in New Orleans, are coming
to the Pacific coast states.
All the districts adjoining Louisiana
have placed rigid quarantine upon the
pest-ridden state, but in spite of this
fact, there is a fear that the plague
may break over the boundaries set up
by the different health departments,
and general exodus has begun.
The hotel registers yesterday bore an
unusual number of signatures of those
coming from Mississippi, Alabama and
southeastern Texas, and managers of
two of the larger hotels said that from
the number of applications for rooms
which they had received, they believed
the rush had only begun.
The temperate climate of Southern
California, the absence of all conditions
which are conducive to the disease, and
the fact of large attraction in the
Portland exposition farther north has
caused the exodus to turn in this di-
rection.
A similar condition was noted several
years ago when the south was threat
ened with an epidemic of the fever.
Passenger travel to the east is giving
the southern states a wide berth, and
many of those who are already in the
eastern states and had expected to re-
turn by the southern gateway have
had their tickets changed so that they
may go by the northern route.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, July 31.-A new terror has
appeared for the owners of automo-
biles. Footpads have discovered that
they are worth plucking, and the limit
of daring was reached late tonight
when three bandits held up big tour
ing car containing two men and three
women all prominent in society, and
relieved them of all their valuables,
netting about $1,000.
The automobile was slowly climbing
hill in dark road near Winnetka,
northern suburb, and the robbers
calmly stood at the top of the hill, and
as the car approached fired holes
through the tires.
Charles A. Woodruff, purchasing
agent of the Armour Car lines, was
driving the car. He and his friends
were forced to get out of the machine
and line up along the highway, while
one OF the robbers went through them
and took everything in the way of
money and jewelry. Not ring or
gem of any kind escaped
After the robbery the bandits fired
several shots over the heads of the ter
rified victims and left them to grope
their way to the Winnetka police sta
ton, where the robbery was reported.
No arrests have been made.
Mr. Woodruff told the police that he
was accompanied by Mrs. Woodruff.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Mcclellan and Mrs.
H. G. Schlossman.
Earlier in the evening the robbers
had fired big barn at the other end
of Winnetka, thus drawing the atten-
ton of the police and residents from
the scene of their operations.
This daring robbery has again re-
vived the plan of having soldiers from
Fort Sheridan patrol the North Shore
district, as the local officers are power
less to cope with the desperate men
who are being driven out of Chicago.

GERS and directors and to others large
and unwarranted sums as expenses in
CURED by such persons in the service
of the society and said sums were paid
without sufficient vouchers, without
proper proof of their amounts and with
out it being properly shown that the
flied by such expenditures was legally
or properly chargeable Herewith"
The complaint also charges: THAT
the defendants wrongfully caused the
defendant society and number of
other societies and Corporations in
which the defendant society was largely
a stockholder and in which some of
said individual defendants were also
stockholders, to pay large sums of
money to themselves, or to some OF
their number and to other persons
under the guise of salaries and fees for

directors and members of committees
of defendant society, and of several
other societies and corporations"

OF the loan to the Depew Improve

"That the defendants improperly,
improvldently and wastefully procured
and permitted the defendant society
to loan the sum of $25O.O0O to the De-
pew Improvement company, a corpora
tion doing business in the state of New
York, in which company the defend
ants, Chauncey M. Depew and others
of the Individual defendants, were
stockholders, which loan of $25O,00O
was made upon grossly inadequate Sc
curity, and which property securing
said loan was appraised In 1901 by the
insurance department of the state of
New York at the sum of $15O,OOO
"That said Depew Improvement COM
pany subsequently became insolvent,
and the property which secured said
Iona was bid in at foreclosure sale for
about $4,000. thereby resulting in a
great waste and loss of the property of
the defendant society.
THAT the referees deed for said
property was not recorded by said de-
fendant society until about January
12, 1905. and that in the meantime no
proceedings were taken to collect the
judgment for the deficiency thereon.

water rights, is particularly optimistic
Yesterday he said
According to the state law the city
has the right to issue bonds to the
extent of fifteen per cent of the states
valuation of property in the city. Los
Angeles property is assessed at $751;
OO0 200, which would allow us to issue
$23, 900 bonds at the present time.
We have already outstanding bonds
amounting to $5,5OOOOO, leaving mar
gin of $1S,OOO.OOO
1T believe the water rights can be
S17 100000, but of course it will take
several years to complete the work.
In the last year Los Angeles property
increased in value $S0,0OO,000. If this
rate of increase keeps up we can do
the work. even if it should cost 22,O0O,-
900, and still keep well inside our limit" "
When asked how much time would
be required to build the proposed sys-
TEN, Superintendent Mulholland re-
plied "The final surveys will take
from six to eight months. Then, after
the route has been determined upon,
we will build the generating plant on
the owens river and construct a power
line between the valley and Los An
geles to furnish power all along the
line for the construction work.
1--WE will build the aqueduct and tun-
nels ourselves. That is our custom. We
do not let contracts, but hire the men.
Then we see that the work is done
right and as fast as possible.
"There will be a number of tunnels
and we shall bore them all at once
Some of them are to be so situated that
we can sink shafts at stated distances
and work from several points. In this
way the work will be rushed as fast as
possible. The conduit itself will take
considerable time. but we can tackle
the job in a great many places and so
hurry it through. 1t is such a big
proposition, however, that it will take
three or four years to complete it,"

In the whole United States army

of these olive drab uniforms among the

The reason for this wholesale con-
