THE NEW YORK LIFE CASE.
The State Board suspends Action,
Pending the Report Of the In
vestigating Committee.

eA9dsU9 OOWmittcSs
Yesterday the State Board of Rev.
enue met and considered the case Of
the application of the representatives
OF the New York Life Insurance Com
pany to have final action in the mat
ter of revoking the companys license
to do business in Nevada deferred
until the Investigating Committee in
New York could report. They hal
called the day before upon the Con-
trOller but he declined to take action
until the matter could be brought be-
fore the full Board.
The representative of the Life,
Messrs. HAYES and Harris only asked
that the Board would not take final
action until after the report of the
Committee. They though this reas-
enable request and they also asked
company scattered through the State
at considerable expense.
The Governor in addressing the
representatives of the Life said that
he fully endorsed the action of the
Controller but felt that he was will
ing to give the company an extern
sion of time until after the report of
the Investigating Committee as q
matter of fairness to the many agents
of the Company in Nevada dependent
upon the company for livelihood.
Acknowledgement Sweeney said he
believed the admission of the Com
pany that it had misused the funds
of the company in political contribu-
tons gave the Controller legal JUS
LITIGATION for his action. He had
learned that the money was to be
refunded to the policy holders and
that the Company had passed a reso-
luton forbidding the further use OF
the policy holders money for politics.
The other charges against the COM
pany he was willing to leave to the
Committee now investigating them
The Board decided unanimously that
final action would De deferred until
after the report of the Investigating
Committee. Also that pending their
decision agents of the Life could con-
tinue to do business in Nevada. The
matter of the consideration of charges
against the Indiana State Life will
be considered at meeting today.
After the meeting the following dis
patch was sent to President Mccall:
John Mccall
President New York Life, N. Y.
BAG Broadway.
The State Board of Revenue met
today and after hearing the arguments
made by your San Francisco repre-
sentatives Messrs. Halves and Harris
decided to postpone all action relative
to your company until after the re
port of the investigating committees
Meanwhile your agents continue 10
solicit business in Nevada. Accept
my congratulations for the resolution
adopted by your company forbiddins
the contribution of the company's
money for any political party.

AMERICANS FOR CHINESE ARMY.
Officers at Work in New York Drilling
Recruits.

That the Chinese government has been
drilling soldiers in the United States for
several months to form an army of western
standards for the Chinese empire was as
serted Saturday in New York when it was
announced that the president of China S
new military board, who is a prince of the
imperial family, was soon to arrive in that
city for the purpose of inspecting the re-
cruitS. The declaration was vouched for
Saturday night by George McVicker, who is
superintendent of St Bartholomew Club.
For many months Major McVicker has
been organizing Cinnamon of New York and
other cities into military companies, and it
is only now, he says, when he finds himself
major in the Chinese imperial army, that
he has begun to see the serious side of it
all. Mr.. McVicker began the work of Or
ganization, it is declared, with no idea of
what 1t really meant. He declared that he
had received a commission as ma jor in the
Chinese imperial army directly from the
DoWager Empress of China. He also said
that he had been drilling Cinnamon here ac-
cording to the infantry drill regulations of
the United States army, and that he had re-
ce1ved military orders from China from time
to time which he transmitted in true mill
tary style to the Chinese soldiers here.
All of the drills of the Chinese soldiers in
the United States, he said, have been held
secretly. The recruits, he says, have been
armed with rifles having detachable knife
blade bayOnets. Their uniform equipment.
he said, was similar to that of the United
States army.
The plan, according to Mr. McVicker. is to
have each Chinese instructor drill file of
ten men, and each of these ten in turn will
be used to instruct ten others. In this way,
Major McVicker said. China hopes to estab-
lish a new army of the most powerful sort.

Gov. Adams Charges Fraud in Effort:
to Elect Peabody.

The answer of Gov Alva Adams to the
allega tions of ex-Gov. James II. Peabody,
contestant for the Office of governor, was
filed in Denver Saturday. The answer
makes general denial of the allegations
of the confession and specifically charges
fraud in several counties against the con-
testee.
1t alleges that divers corporations and
mine owners associations conspired with
the republican state central committee and
spent large sums in securing fraudulent
registration lists, in padding registration
lists, in corrupting election officials and In
buying votes for the purpose of electing
Gov. Peabody.
The answer alleges that upon Informal
ton and belief the ballot boxes of Denver
do not now contain the ballots which were
actually cast by the qualified voters; that
the ballot boxes have been tempered with

the employ and under the direction of the

Pope to Name Five New Cardinals.

1t is learned at Rome that the pope will
create five new cardinals at the forthcom-
ing spring consistory. Their names are
withheld. The new nominations will be of
great Importance and will be an indication
of the definite tendency of the pontificate.
They will be part of a general plan Of re-
forms the pope wishes to introduce both in
the Curia and in pontificai diplomacy. The
principle of Pope Plus X is to choose dele
gates and nuncios not exclusively among
those who are prelates and diplomats by
career because he wishes to give purely
religious character to Catholicism at every
point
