Attorney Objects to Being Accused of Blaekmail by Those who Attempt to Stop Litigation by
 Use of Money.

1 Chicago, Oct. 16.-Federal Judge C. c I Kohlsaat this afternoon sustained a de- ] murrer of the Western Life Indemnity l Company in the injunction proceedings l brought by po1icyholders. Attorneys I representing the policyholders filed an
 amended bill immediately. Arguments
 on this will be heard next Monday The decision was a victory for the life | insurance company. The company de- | murred to the bill for injunction filed | by polcyholders to prevent the trans | fer of the company's business to an- l other concern. In a fervid defense of life insurance | companies in general, the Western In l demnity Company in particular, 'Attor- | ney Isaac H. Mayer made vigorous | statements during the hearing directed | against the lawyers on the opposite side.
 T ask your homer to render a decis- | ion SO ringing" he said. that 1t will be | heard all over the country and will be | understood, to the effect that the prac- tice of attacking life insurance com
 panies for the purpose of being bought off must stop"
 A moment later Attorney Mayer re- ferred to the instigators of attacks on
 the insurance companies as 'vultures using the assets for carrion" The close of the hearing in the case was marked py sensatlonal charges and warm retorts on the part Of the law yers. Just before ending the long oral argument, Mir. Mayer accused the coun- sel for the prosecution with having gone into the case from evil motives
 ''The attorneys admit he said, that
 they have a contingent interest in the
 outcome"
 When Mir, Mayer intimated the op-
 posing lawyers had inspired the legal
 proceedings against the Western In
 demnity Company he was hotly inter rupted by Attorney s. o. Living
 T don't think" said MT. Livingston,
 that we should be accused here by
 persons who attempted to buy us off again and again."
 That is false" cried MT Mayer. Ut
 is unqualifiedly false" ..:.
 The court put an end to the incident before 1t got further.

Just How It Happened.

1t is not difficult to account for the
grapeshot fired yesterday in the direction
of the car. The artillerists of the saluting
battery stationed in front of the bourse
saw a fiotilla of Japanese torpedo boats
approaching on the frozen surface of the
Neya. Determined to defend themselves
against the insidous and dangerous foe,
they fired a canister shot which they had
brought along for just such emergencies.
The event proved that what the soldiers
thought to be torpedo boats were sledges
drawing holday-makers to the scene of the
ceremonies. They strongly resembled Japa-
nese war craft in the dazzling sunshine
glittering from the ice. Fortunately the
grapeshot few wide of it's mark and the
sledges were not struck. but the bullets
scattered uncomfortably near royalty. For
the happy escape of Russia from great
disaster the people have today to thank
the proyidential and proverbial bad aim of
the Russian gunners.
