Pride of the Country,

Mr., Beck. in short address TO the COM
mittee, spoke of the Mutual Life as the
pride OF the country" He said also
that there are many lawyers and mem
beFs of the stock exchange in the city
who make over $4,000 a year.
Asked if he thought life insurance
should be extended at the expense. of
the policy holders. Mr.. MeCurdy replied:
II do; life insurance is an obligation
every man ought to understand, because
he Is participating in the movement for
the benefit of humanity. | have always
had that opinion, The purpose OF the
Mutual Life is not mOney-making or de-
claFing dividends 10 those who pay pre-
SIiums. 1t was organized as a great
beneficent and missionary institution. It's
purpose was to. extend the benefits of life
insurance, and its object was not that OF
declaring dividends which could be spent
on cigars or playing billiards. Its pur-
pose was not to pay one cent during the
life time of the assured, but at death.
Ii was based on the conviction that every
man ought to carry life insurance for the
benefit of his family and the community.
Ii was started in the spirit of pure phil
anthrOpy and as a missionary enterprise.
That was it's object.
Il have heard a great deal of criticism
on the ground that life insurance COM
pany should not be an eleemosynary con-
Germ. 1t is my belief that a life insur-
ance company should be an eleemosynary
concern TO a great degree"

THE ARMY RATION
A Good Suggestion from an Old Sol
der.

oleFs
The government has been expert
menting for some years seeking a con-
densed food to be used by soldiers il
case of emergency when the army
shall cut loose from its base of sup
plies and cast off its wagon trains and
the troops snail carry their rations for
a number If days in their haversacks.
While some progress has been made
the problem has not yet been solved,
A veteran from the Civil War, writ
ing from New England, says in this
connection:
Il have been using Grape-Nuts food
for some time, and my liking for ii In
creases with use l find it extremely
palatable, and not only digestible, but
an aid TO the digestion of other food
which used TO give me trouble.
What has particularly struck me
is the fact that very small quantity
of IL is sufficient for an entire meal
that I really need no other food. It
is my custom TO begin my breakfast
with two heaping tablespoonfuls OF
Grape Nuts with cream. By the time
have eaten that ] find that my appe-
tite has been completely satisfied,
feel the comfortable sensation of one
who has breakfasted wisely and we'll.
and while / sometimes eat little OF
other things, | DO II more as matter
of habit than anything else, find
that ] can so till noon on the two
tablespoonfuls of GTape-Nuts and
cream alone. and what is also an inn

Now il has occurred 10 me thai
Grape-Nuts food ought 10 be added tC
the army ration for the reason that il

Left the Hall.

Count Stephen Tisza, the former pre-
mier. followed with a brief speech eX-
planning that he refused to continue the
debate, which he considered inadmissabie
after parliament had been proTOgued.
Then With his colleagues the count left
the haH.
A socialist deputy proposed that the
royal rescript be disregarded and the de-
bate continued but this was ignored and
Count Andrassys resolution was adopted
with practically unanimity and the house
adjourned.
There were quite large crowds outside
the parliament building, but they were
kept at a distance by a Gordon of police.
and there was an almost entire absence
or the expected excitement in the streets.
In the house of magnates a motion pro-
posed by Baron POnay, vigorously pro-
testing against the repeated prorOgations
OF parliament was rejected after a debate
OF several hours, but the mention of
Baron BOOethy expressing regret that the
king-emperOr had again decided to pro-
ROGUE the diet and hoping for a solution
of the Sresent difficulties. was unani-
mOusly adopted.

Ministers Denounced.

Count Julius Andrassy rose and de-
bounced the ministers who contrary 10
precedent, failed TO appear before parlia-
ment
The government" he said, has there
Dy shown contempt of the house and has
abandoned all pretense OF conforming
With the laws"
The protest which was presented in be-
half of the cOalitionists declared that the
continued prOrOgatiOns of parliament are
unconstitutional because they render il
impossible to impeach the Fejeryary cab
liameutary majority should long ago have
been entrusted with the direction of the
government, and that the existence of the
FejarVary cabinet was nothing but alb
s0lutism. The resolution further de-
clared the king-emperor opposed the viii
of the nation and that the cabinet crisis
MAD now become a constitutional crisis.

Gould Men Are Named.

~. Russell Sage and K. NJ. Galloway.
Col. Doyle, for Mr.. Ramsey, de-
manded that the directors be chosen
by ballot. This was voted down, and
the men were chosen by roll call Mr..
Ramsey's attorneys demanded that a
proxy be shown as each name was
called. There were great numbers of
these and the operation consumed
much time.
Mr., Ramsey and his attorneys in
sisted upon examining every proxy as
the name was called and checking IL
up with the list of their own proxies.
The process was slow and tedious, and
one and one-haif hours was consumed
before the letter "B"' was exhausted.
The indications at IL o'clock was that
the checking up OF the proxies would
consume nearly all of the day.

GOULD To WIN
THIS MORNING
Indications Point to End Of Wabash
Fight.
RAMSEY LOSES GROUND
COUNTING PROXIES TAKES ALL
DAY IN TOLEDO.

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 10.-No directors
We're chosen at the annual meeting of
the Wabash today. The sessions, with
the exception of two brief reeesses,
lasted from 8 o'clock in the morning
until 11:15 ar night, almost the entire
time being taken up by the examina-
ton of proxies. Although no figures
had been given out by the inspectors
OF election, it is believed that the vote
TO be taken the first thing tomorrow
will show that Mr.. Gould has behind
him about so, co., 900 of the bonds, and
that Mr.. Ramsey has in the neighbor-
hood of $2.OOOOOO. This makes certain
that six men nominated by the Gould
faction as directors representing the
bondholders will be elected.
Ramsey Shows Very Weak.
These men are Russell Sage. Wins
low S. Pierce, E. T. Welles. w. b.
Saunder, r. c. Clowry and E. d. Gal
loway Mr.. Ramsey has not shown
sufficient strength to enable him TO
hold his seat as director, and it is
Del'eved he is weaker in stock proxies
than he is in the bonds.
At the night session Mr.. Ramsey's at
torneys took the position that no man
should be allowed to vote unless ne
is the actual owner of stock at the
time OF the meeting. They submitted
attidavits covering about 81 900 900 of
bonds, in which the atlantis declare
themselves the actual owners of stock
which stood in other names on the
stock list at the time the books were
closed prior to the election. The prox-
les for this stock had been given TO
Mr.. Gould in every instance, and the
persons declaring themselves the pres
ent owners had given proxies to Mr.
Ramsey Chief among these was
James r. Keene. who gave a proxy for
S212OO0, and j. w. Henning & company
OF New York, who gave one for s154,-
900. The inspectors ruled against Mr.
Ramsey in every instance, holding that
the bonds could only be voted by the
persons in whose name it stood at the
time of the closing of the books.
OF the directors of the road present
when the meeting opened, were George
j. Gould, Joseph Ramsey, Jr., Edgar T.
Welles, John T. Terry WinsloW S.
Pierce, E. T. Jeffrey and c. S. Rey-
nOlds. All of these, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Ramsey, were OutspOken in
their determination to support Mr.
Gould in everything. Mr.. Ramsey was
equally explicit in his declaration Of
opposition.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-10-11
Both Sides Confident.

The situation did not change over
night in the slightest degree, and there
was no apparent abatement in the con-
fidence of either side. Mr.. Ramsey
claims that 1t will not be possible TO
retire him as a director, for the reason
that he controls at least One-tenth of
the votes, and under the cumulative
system of voting, permissible in Ohio,
he viii be able TO re-elect himself. The
Goulds look upon Mr.. Ramsey's con-
nectiOn with the board of directors as
a matter to be spoken of in the past
tense only. Mr.. Gould has fully de
termined that there shall be a change
in the board OF directors" is the way
they put il.
There were rumors early today that
legal steps would be taken by Mr.
Ramsey's attorneys to prevent the re-
election as directors of the Wabash of
Mr.. Gould, Russell Sage and James
II. Hyde, on the ground that they are
also directors of the Missouri Pacific.
which line parallels the Wabash be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City. but
up TO the time Of the opening of the
meeting nothing has transpired in this
direction,
