GALS OF THE NEW YORK
LIFE COMPANY.

New York, Oct. 4.-Permission to
begin suit against John A. Mccall,
president, and George w. Perkins,
vice president, of the New York Life
Insurance company for the restitution
Of $150,00O contributed to Republican
campaign funds was asked of Attor-
ney General Mayer during the day by
William Hepburn Russell, acting as
attorney for several policyholders.
Under the laws of this state the sane
ton of the attorney general is re-
quired in order to bring a suit Of this
character. Mr. Russell said the suit
would be based on the contention that
the money paid to the national Repub-
ncan committee WAS expended by Nc
Call and Perkins without corporate
authority. He declared that he in
tended also to sue for the restitution
of $235,000 which Mr.. Mccall testified
had been placed in the hands of An
drew Hamilton of Albany. The pol
icyholders represented by Mr.. Russell
are Walter Goodyear, Samuel D. Lilly
and William P. Winslow.

PRESIDENT RAMSEY OF WABASH
ROAD BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
GOULD AND OTHERS.
ATTEMPT TO s1IFLE COMPETITION
WOULD ENJOIN RIVALS OF THE
WABASH FROM VOTING THE
SoMPANY's STOCK.

st. Louis, Oct. 4-Suit for injunc-
ton has been filed in the St. Louis
circuit court by Joseph Ramsey, Jr.,
president of the Wabash railroad,
against the Iron Mountain and Wa
bash Railway companies, the Mercan-
tile Trust company of New York, Wal
ter S. Wilson, H. M. Walker and
George j.. Gould.
In his petition Mr.. Ramsey asks the
court to grant him an injunction pre-
venting the proposed annual meeting
of George Gould and his associates at
Toledo, where it is proposed to elect
board of directors and president
to control the Wabash road for the
next year. AS reason he alleges that
one result of this meeting would be
to stifle competition in traffic between
the Wabash and Missouri Pacific
roads between St. Louis and Kansas
City. Mr.. Ramsey sets out in his peti-
ton that he is a resident OF Missouri,
while the defendants are nOn-resi-
dents. He owns $4,000 par value of
the debenture bonds of the Wabash
class B" and 100 shares of the cap
ital stock. He brings the suit, he
says, for himself and others similarly
situated. The Missouri Pacific rail
way, he says, holds 10000 shares Of
Wabash stock, the Iron Mountain
holds $4,000 shares of preferred stock
and s5,435 900 par value of debentures.
these shares being held in trust by the
Mercantile Trust company of New
York, Wilson, Walker and Gould.
Gould, he says, owns and controls a
majority of the stock Of the Missouri
Pacific and controls the majority of
stock Of the Iron, Mountain railway.
F. w. Lehman, attorney for MIR. Ram
sey, says:
The Importance of this suit to the
public is that it is a suit to enjoin
rival companies of the Wabash from
voting it's stock and debentures.'

the victims of the mistake

but the sophomores thought it was
new freshman bluff.
After chasing them up trees and
telegraph poles the second year men
brought the freshmen down, had them
kneel in proposed attitudes to co-eds
and, while they knelt, poured eggs
and milk over their heads. They were
made to walk a picket fence and
finally ducked in the botanical ponds.

developments. No union men have
gone back to work and the Typothe

Except at union headquarters there
are no congregations of the strikers

of the keen labor struggle that is be-
ing fought.
Neither the leaders of the employ

IHE STANDARD does not care to pose as an organ of re-

occurrence in our town that become doublv apparent when they
are compared with chastity. Continued federation is likely to
make a fragrant violation of decency seem inconspicuous for the
reason that 1T has always been SO" even since the time of the
earliest inhabitant. In the opinion OF the STANDARD passive in.
