VICTORY FOR EQUITABLE
IN WISCONSIN COURT
Society Held to Be Within the Law In
Issuing Deferred Dividend
Policies
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADISON. Wis, Feb 21.-The test
case by the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety on behalf of the foreign insurance
companies doing business in the State Of
Wisconsin has resulted in a signal vic
tory through the decision handed down
by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin to-
day. reversing the decision of the Dane
County Circuit Court in favor of Com
missioner Host.
The question involved the construction
Of section 1852 of the Revised Statutes,
the Commissioner maintaining that the
word may" as used in the statute.
should be construed as mandatory and
policies was prohibited by the statute as
thus construed. The Supreme Court
holds that the statute thus construed
is perrnissive that the Equitable has not
violated the law in issuing deferred divi-
dend policies and that the latter form
Of policy which constitutes seventy-five
to eighty per cent of all the insurance
written. is valid and not in conflict with
any provision of the law.
This marks the end of one of the most
interesting and important cases in life
insurance for many years. The case was
presented on behalf of the society by J.
g. Flanders. d. T. watson, and Balm
bridge Colby of Alexander & Colby,
counsel for the society in New York. The
Commissioner of Insurance was repre-
sented by the Attorney General of Wis
consin.

eral William A. Day, claimed by DIR.
Charles A Nichols of this city as his
wife by common law marriage, scored
an important victory after three years
litigation to-day, when Judge Philbrick
in the Circuit Court refused to ac-
knowledge the alleged marriage as
legal.
The Day-Nichols case is declared to
be almost without analogy in legal an

known in which a man claimed
woman as his wife to have her deny IT,
At the time of the presentation of the
name of w. A. Day to the Senate for

At the same time DR.. Nichols created
q sensation by announcing a secret

SALE OF OPIUM
WILL CONTINUE
House Passes Philippines
Tariff Bill Practically as
Reported by Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The House
to-day passed the Philippines tariff
bill, practically as 1t came from the
committee and with but little discus
sion.
An effort to prohibit the Importation
of opium into the islands except for
medicinal purposes failed.
An unsuccessful attempt was MADE
by Cooper of Texas and Webb of North
Carolina to place on the free list raw
cotton and cotton waste imported into
the Philippines from the United States
and Spain, the latter country being IN
cluded so as not to violate the terms
of the treaty Of Paris regarding dis
elimination. The amendment was de-
feated, 95 to SO.
Unavailing efforts subsequently were
made to place agricultural implements
and AGRICULTURAL products, locomotives,
etc., on the free list, and a similar fate
was accorded a proposition by Cooper
of Texas to tax diamonds in the rough.
Cooper of Texas moved to recommit
the bill with instructions to place cot
ton and cotton manufactures. iron.
leather, ETC., on the free list. The mo-
ton was lost.
The bill was then passed without
division.
General applause followed the adop-
ton of a Joint resolution authorizing
the return by the Secretary of War of
Union and Confederate battle flags to
the respective States in which the regi-
ments which bore them were organized.

RAIN SPOILS
The ICE CROP
Sierra Nevada Output Is
Ruined and Owners Suf-
fer a Loss of $4,000

RENO, Feb. 21.-Heavy rains and the
warm temperature during the past few
days have ruined the ice crop in the
Sierra Nevada mountains. Hundreds
of men that we're busily engaged last
week in harvesting the crop are now
idle and several of the companies have
sent instructions to their superintend-
ents to close down for the season.
The crop will be between $4,000 and
$4,000 tons short, experts figure. How
ever, this is made up for by the hold
over crop from last year amounting
to about 10000 tons. For this reason it
is thought the ice men in the hills will
be we'll able to handle the California
fruit crop the coming season.
The thawfng started with between
ten and fifteen inches of ice on the
ponds, In few hours the entire crop
was ruined and the loss to the ice men,
figuring at 81 so per ton, will amount
to about SIS, 900.

Even in the midst of his grief over
the death Of Grand Duke Sergius, evil
oence exists that Emperor Nicholas is
giving his attention to political devel-
opments, but reports as to his inten-
tions are conflicting. Indications point
toward a decision TO revive the zemsky
tabor, and some rumors even give the
date when the proclamation conven-
ing that body viii be issued. These
rumors probably are premature; but
there is little doubt in the best-in-
formed quarters that the Emperor S
decision will be favorable. The court
party is still fighting desperately for
time, maintaining that ii would be an
irreparable blunder to yield in the face
Of terrorism, even If it should be ad-
visable later on.
Contrary TO previous reports, it is
now said that the last word from
Grand Duke Sergius to the Emperor,
contained in a letter brought by Prince
Schirinsky Schakmatoff. was to stand
firm. According TO earlier reports Ser
gius, seeing that opposition was use
