ditions which have entered into the
history of eastern cities. There are
few large factories, no great fOun-
dries, no enterprises that employ
large numbers. OF smaller institu-

One striking result of this fact
is that the population of Los Ange-

American cities go. Reflected by

and included some of the best
sprinters, endurance runners. vault
ers and other athletes OF Canada
and the United States.
The New York Athletic club is
we'll represented, far better than
last year. The Canadian meeting
was originally set for September

for the athletic events are Nor

A corrective measure is suggest
ed in the formation of a law which
will compel insurance companies to
hold their elections at stated inter

be informed of, and a system of

The insurance investigation is
expected to bring out what uses,
proper or improper, are being made
of invested public funds of gigantic
amounts. 1t will be ascertained if
there are any other of these great

The history Of the city is that Of

100 years ago, Spanish padres
drove their burros over the deserts
and mountains and erected a little
mission by a river bank. Indians
gathered within the sound OF the
bells. Spaniards followed. The
foundation of the city was laid.
The gold fever of 40 brought
some Americans. But they were
few, and for the most part lost
their identity by intermarriage with
the native population. Only when
transcontinental railways opened
the way to the east was there any
real growth.

NEW YORK. Sept. ia COM
mittee appointed by the New York
legislature is holding meetings in
this city to determine just how
much the wealthy and refined gen.
tlemen who head the country's
great insurance companies have
duped the public which supports
them.
This is an outgrowth OF the as
founding scandals in high finance
which followed quarrel among the
officers of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society and is the fulfillment
of public demand. The object is
to frame state laws which will COM
pei insurance concerns to live up
to the requirements of their char
tiers.
A coterie of very respectable gen
tlemen are on the rack and the vast
army of policy holders in all parts
of the country are at last to have
a "loOk-in" upon the affairs of the
concerns they have made rich and
powerful.
Are the thousands of men and
women who invest their savings or
fortunes in so-called mutual insur-
ance companies fools?
According to the initial revela-
lions from the investigat ton, 'mu-
tual' is nice word, which sounds
as policy holder might have
something to saw about the man
agement of the company he is in
vesting in, like stakeholder in
some companies.
1t took Charles f. Hughes, who
is conducting the investigation, only
few hours to demonstrate that,
as the insurance companies now
practice naturalization, it amounts
to nothing more than being an at
tractive and glittering argument to
hold before the investing public,
that the pOlicyholders have abso-
lutely not voice in the management
of the insurance concerns they are
supporting and which are supposed
to be operated by them through
their servants, the officers and di-
rectOrS.
High officials of some of the most
important insurance concerns in
the world have frankly admitted
on the witness stand, under oath,

handful of men do, in reality, con-
troll the very life of the nations in

obvious tendency on the part of the
heads Of the vast industrial and
commercial enterprises being to
further restrict the right of the mi
nority investor in having any part

sometime be propounded through a

dow in Wall street:
Please, Mr. Iinnercircle, may

promise not to even want to ask a
question about what you are doing
with my money?
