MORTON ON NEW POLICY
TELLS EQUITABLE AGENTS, ON
OUTING, WHAT HIS PLANS ARE.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: President Paul Morton outlined the
policy of the new management of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society in an ad-
dress which he delivered at Manhattan
Beach today to $50 agents of the society,
who came from different parts of the coun-
try.
The convention, which will close Wednes-
day night is held in fulillment of an an
nouncement made last December, when 1t
was promised that all agents who wrote
more than stipulated amount of business
would be given an outing during the sum-
mer. President Morton welcomed the agents
at their first meeting this afternoon. With
him on the platform were Second Vice
President Gage L. Tarbel, Third Vice
President George 7. Wilson, Controller W.
A. Day and other officers.
After briefly reviewing recent events IN
the Equitable, Mr.. Morton said:
| am going to say few words to you
on your administration. There VIII be
no attempt TO make it dazzlingly brilliant
The effort will be to make ii honest, cour-
ageous and conservative. There Will be
the greatest consideration shown for the
policy holders, and at every turn their in
terests will be protected All OF the new
directors are policy holders. BuSncss-like
methods Will prevail The more economy
of the right sort We institute the more
We can save to the policy holders. Invest
THE institution will not be- run as an
adjunct to any one or several banking
houses Every owner of securities will have
a chance to deal with US, and our aim will
be to buy the very best at the very lowest
prices. The cheaper the society can be
properly administered the better we can
invest our earnings, and the better showing
We can make the easier Will it be for agents
to sell our insurance.
II want to see the insurance business re-
moved as far as possible from politics. L
believe in the proper laws for safeguarding
the sacred trusts of insurance, and l will
cooperate the enactment OF any neces-
sary laws with that end in view. We Shall
all work tc put the business of life in
surance on the elevated plane it ought to
occupy.
The new mana cement of the Equitable
will insist on an annual audit of its affairs
by an unbiased and independent account
ant. There will be no attempt to deceive
anybody-not even ourselves.
''Retrenchments are the order Of the day
in the Equitable. They already amount to
over $4,000 year, which is equal to
per cent on an investment of SO 900.
They will amount to much larger sum
before we are through, and | am sure that
we will satisfy not only our own policy
holders and our own agents. but the many
who will buy what we have to SELL

Hutchinson. Feb. 1s.-Until quite re-

that Kansas was not well adapted to

Isolated localities but the fact is now
about established beyond all doubt or
question. that wherever alfalfa and the
different fruits are successfully grown,

honey In excellent quality is being pro-
nuced and in marvellous quantities, said
Drs Morer in his address as president
Of the Kansas Beekeepers' association.
Among other things DR.. Borer went on
TO say that In a number of cases, as
much as 800 pounds Of honey has been
obtadned from a single colony. This is
not at all uncommon, and instead of
kansas not being well adapted to sue
Dessfu1 beekeeping, she is on the very
ave of taking her place in the front
rank.
There need be no great fear Of over
stocking with bees, and there being no
mountains or rocky cliffs for bees to
take up quarters in, there will be but
little trouble in keeping foul brood out
Of the state II we only have law en-
acted against harboring foul brood and
against selling bees infected with this
terrible malady.

American League Rejects the Drafting
Amendment.

American League Rejects the Drafting
Amendment.
New York, Feb. 18.-The American
league of baseball clubs rejected the
association, an organization of minor
league clubs, providing for an increase
In payments by the two major leagues
for players drafted from teams in the
minor leagues.
The National league at a meeting in
Cincinnati some time ago decided to
agree to the proposed change, but the
action of the American league Friday
will have the effect of preventing any
change in the old drafting price.
Under the old agreement the major
leagues paid $3.50 for players drafted
from Class A leagues; $500 from Class
B; $500 from Class c, and 5000 from
Glass D, it being provided that only
two players should be drafted from
Glass A, although an unlimited num-
Der could be drafted at the prices
named from the other classes.
The National association proposed
an amendment providing for a new
class-C1ass "A. The prices for a
drafted player from this class was to
be fixed at $500, for Class A $1,000,
Glass B $3.50, Class c $500 and Glass
d $500.
The proposed amendment provided
that only one player should be draft
ed from Glass IA and that an I'M
limited number sh ould be drafted from
Howard Griffiths of Jersey City, rep
resenting the national board of the
National association, submitted to the
American league today the proposed
amendment and received the leagues
answer through President Johnson
that the league refused to concur.
President johnson proposed this
compromise: That the drafting price
be $1,000 for Glasses IA and A, $3.50
for Class B, and $500 for Glass c, and
all other classes. The proposed COM
promise involved an agreement that
only two men Should be drafted from
either Glass AAs Class A or Class B
or any other class
Griffiths. who had power to act for
the National association, declined to
accept the compromise. Johnson then
said the American league would agree
to act under his proposed compromise
scale of prices for one year and then,
if the experiment was not satisfactory,
pay the prices proposed by the amend
ment. Griffiths, in behalf of the Ma
