EQUITABLE CLAIMS.
From January [ to August I Company
 Paid Out S24,OOO.OOO.'

New York Sept. 26.-A statement was given out from the office Of Pres ident Paul Morton of the Equitable Life Assurance Society to the effect that at meeting of the directors of the Society to be held tomorrow MT. Mor- ton will report that the Equitable has paid out from January i to August l, 1905, in death claims, annuities, en- dowments, purchased policies and other benefits the sum of over $24,000, ,000.
 This" the statement declares, ls an average of more than $11S,50O for every working day and has been done in the regular course of business The money all went to the beneiciaries of the Society and in many instances was the sole reliance of those receiving it.
 The statement continues: Mir, Nor ton will also report that the expert accountants have not yet completed their work and that it will be fully two weeks more before it is concluded, Enough is already known to enable him to say that the securities and real estate of the Society are all intact and that their values approximate those exhibited by the official reports. Any changes in the value of stocks or real estate will be towards conservatism.
 The expert accountants are far enough along with their work for Mir. Morton to assure the directors that any future disclosure of miscarriage of funds probably will refer to moneys

SHREWD MANIPULATION
CLAIMS OF POLICYHOLDERS HAVE
 BEEN WIPED OUT.
IntereatinE Facts Brought to Light While Investigating Affairs of
 Western Life Indemnity Company.

Chicago. Sept. 26-Investigation of the affairs of the Western Life Indem- nity Company by a State Examiner to- day brought to light facts tending to show that claims of perhaps thousands of policyholders in assessment compa- nies have been practically wiped out through company manipulation. Ex- aminer Lucius Pfouts discovered that no fewer than twenty-eight small in surance companies have terminated their existence by merging into the Western Life Indemnity.
 "That means" said the examiner, that the policy holders of the orig inal companies have gone through a sort of erasive process which leaves them practically uninsured, although they are still paying their premiums and have been doing so for years.
 This condition Is not particularly the fault of the Western or other absorbing companies, for the absorption is done according to law"
 A new complication was added today to the local entanglement of the West ern Life Indemnity Company. Federal Judge Kohlsaat granted permission to Attorney Clark Varnum to file an in tervenIng petition for the apOintment of a receiver of the company. Attor- ney Varnum told the court he repre- sents claimants who have been unable to collect in the aggregate $50,000 from the Western Life Company.
 A charge that officers of the West ern Life Indemnity Company have vio- lated the oral restraining order de creed by Judge Bethea at the first hear ing was made today before Judge Kohl saat by Attorney s. O. Levinson. ap- bearing for some of the policy holders. The attorney declared that moneys had been disbursed by the officers since the proceedings before Judge Bethea Judge Kohlsaat continued the argument until next week. The court instructed the defending attorneys to let the affairs of the company meanwhile remain in statu quo,
 Charges that the company was niIked dry were made at the hearing before Judge Kohlsaat by Attorney IIevinson for the complaining policy holders "The company is paying money on it's big contracts said Mir Levinson, and is heinz milked dry. IL has issued a statement giving it's as sets at $st9.000 on May l. Now the as sets arc $500. .0OO."
 Levinson said that he had been told by Mir Long, formerly attorney for the company that the concern had paid tha aIaim of a bank sad to be involved

in the $125, 1000 deal between President Rosenfeld and Promoter Gray. -- The company had transacted ordinary business, but the assets may not he used for anything except to pay death claims" ruled Judge Kohlsaat.
 Mir. Levinson asked restraining or der to prevent the company from trans acting business until the continuation of the hearing He also asked that MT Rosenfeld's salary of $2,000 month he discontinued for the time being Both requests were refused.
 Isaac Mayer, attorney for the com pany, assured the judge that the com pany would take no action on the pro- posed merger with another insurance company until the court had given de- ciSiOn.

Breton Wods, N. H., Sept. 26.-Im- portant questions of insurance, includ- ing the general question of mutualiza- tion. were on the program for dis cussion at the twenty-sixth national convention of State insurance commis- sioners which was opened today at the Mount Washington hotel. About one hundred delegates from various States were present. The convention was called to order by Fresident Fred erick L. Cutting, insurance commis- sioner of Massachusetts. Governor McLane. of New Hampshire. presented the welcome of the State and Presi- dent Cutting delivered an annual ad- dress.
 President Cutting recommended ear nestly that the State insurance com missioners give a more careful scrut- iny and study of the statments pre- sented to them by the various insu- rance companies under their jurisdic- tion He believed that the standard of efficiency in supervision should be raised and that the annual reports of the commissioners should be something more than mere reiteration of the financial statements presented by the companies Tn many instances MT. Cutting thought deceptions were prac- ticed on the commissioners. To make this impossible the statements should be carefully scaned and all suspicious entries or absence of entries should be investigated.
 Two papers were read, both dealing with the question of assets of sure ties companies. and a general discus sion followed.

Manager Berry Expects
to Break Record
at Auctl0u.
I Youngsters WI Soon Be
Heard From ON the
Big Tracks.

Twenty-four of the finest looking year
ling thoroughbreds ever shipped out of
the State will leave Adolph y. Spreckels
Napa Stock Farm next Thursday
morning for New York, there to be auc-
toned off. For many years past Napa
Stock Farm has had the reputation of
producing great horses and Manager
George Berry says that the present con-
s1gnment surpasses any ever bred there.
Most of the yearlings are by imp
Solitaire ii, a sire which is known
from ocean to ocean. Imp. Marius, imp.
Creighton, Libertine and Imp. The
Judge are also III the stud at the Napa
Stock Farm and have sired several of
the great yearlings, which bid fair to
bring higher prices than any heretofore
shipped from the farm.
The colts this year are unusually large
and handsome looking. Mr.. Berry says
they are the most perfectly developed lot
or youngsters he ever laid eyes on, and
he has been training horses and
watching them run for the last twenty
five years. He is enthusiastic over the
animals, as is Mr.. Spreckels, master of
Napa Stock Farm
Imp. Solitaire H. the sire of most of
the youngsters, is a wonderful stall
lion. He is by Ayrshire. one of the
greatest racehorses of his time. The
iatterS winnings on the turf amount
ed to $179,575. Among his great vie
tories were the Rylar Plate at Windsor,
Chesterfield stakes at Newmarket,
Prince of Wales stakes at Goodwood,
Rlddlesworth, 1000 guineas. the Cham
pagne stakes at Doncaster and many
other notable events.
Solitaire did not start in his second
year. but as a three-year-ol he ran
second to Skopos for the Limelkin
stakes at Newmarket. At four he was
twice first. twice second. twice third
and unplaccd for the Goodwood cup and
IN two other races Since that time
Solitaire has started in many famous
events on the British turf and brought
home many rich prizes.
Imported Marius has also a good
record in England. AS a two-year-
old he was second for the Stewards S
Nursery handicap at Hurst Park, con-
ceding twelve pounds to the winner for
the six furlongs. At four he won the
Hartwell plate at one mile at North
ampton, carrying 124 pounds. AS a
hve-year- -old he won the e>Castle Ashley
handicap at a mile and a half by six
lengths. Marius was sired by ST. Serf,
one of the best thought of stations of
his day
Imp. The Judge is a winner and
a sire of winners. He was .foaled in
England in 1891 and is by Loyalist. He
was imported as yearling and during
his career on the turf h0 brought home
many rich purses. He was a stable
mate of Butterflies, which won the Fu-
tur1ty some years ago, and could always
beat her until he went amiss.
One of the finest yearlinEs of the
