 "I have not recommended. nor do l now recommend, a legislative investi- ration of life insurance companies. have recommended to the Legislature that it take the subject under consider ation so that 1t may dispose of 1t a. its wisdom may dictate. My own po' < tion in the matter remains unchans ,.E I have never said that I would preveht a legislative investigation by refusing to permit the Legislature to consider the matter. as I have the power to do. at an extraordinary session; nor has It been my intention at any time to as- sume such a responsibility. If leg isIative investigation is to be held. it Is better that 1t should begin at once. and not be delayed until the regular session, six months hence. l have al no time closed my eyes to the gravity of the life insurance scandals. nor have I for one moment turned my back on the policyholders and their benef1cia- ries. Ill-considered haste, provoked py angry and impatient clamor. would serve no useful end"

 The posting of this second notice de- veloped the fact that other Kansas City fbanks, knowing that the City Na- tional was to fail, wired certain of the latter's outside customers principally small nearby banks, that they would pay certain drafts drawn on the City National. Later In the day other mo- tices from other Kansas City banks designating different outside institu- tions, whom they offered to protect on drafts drawn through the City Ma tional Bank. were posted.

It was organised in 1900 with a capital of $250.00o. Last winter the capital was reduced to s2oo.o0o. Later the capital was in- creased $1o0,000 to $300.ooo. charging on all their surplus and $50,000 of their original capital. It now develops that this did not take out all the bad paper.
 Edward Crebo. president of the failed bank, said:
 Our bank had a large amount of c. J. Devlin and Co.'s paper. This was of uncertain value. and the chances to realize on it seemed so remote that we decided 1t best to close the bank and liauidate Its accounts. Our depositors were mostly in country towns. We did not carry much Kansas City money. I cannot give any figures now of the banks condition

Paul Morton's statement.

New York, July 20.-Paul Morton. chairman of the Board of Directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, made the following statement today in regard to Governor Higgins's message to the Legislature recommending an in- vestigation of the life insurance com panies of the State:
 T do not object at all to an official and legislative investigation of the life insurance companies of the State. The more complete the investigation is the better 1t will suit me and the better 1t will be for the Equitable. We hope that the proposed investigation of all New York insurance companies will be as exhaustive as I propose to make the investigation of the affairs of the Equitable. No half-hearted investiga- ton will restore the public confidence in the life insurance business.
 50 far as the Equitable Society is concerned, it is my intention that the policyholders, the trustees. the new di- rectors and the chairman of the board shall know the exact condition of its affairs from top to bottom"

 Governor Higgins has acted wisely in ordering an investigation of all the insurance companies. A thorough in vestigation will be a good thing for the policyholders and that Is the great question involved. His action will greatly aid MT.

they have lost large sums by these

Womans sphere in this Goth century is
not limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession, and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best fits the posi-
ton of wife and mother and head of the
household. Every girl should know her
heart and also know that her womanly
system is equal to the strain of marriage.
IF girl is nervous and irritable ten chances
to one it is due to some trouble peculiar to
womanhood.
Cupid has no place in girls heart if
she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think Of. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only symp-
toms. Go to the source of the trouble and
correct the irregularity. Stop the drama
on the womanly system and the other
symptoms will disappear This can be
