INTERESTING POINT OF LAW.

A short time ago a legal decision was
rendered by district court In the
state of Iowa, which has some inter-

ciety. believed 20 be ono OF the strong
est communists societies IN existence.
The Judge said, "lt Is undIsputcd that
the donation Of personal property and
personal labor and the holding Of prop

of this faith Render this impossible,
and YOU destroy the ability to observe
their religious faith Deprive the so
0Ioy of the right to acquire and hold
real estate out OF which to make lly-
ing, and you deprive rs members OF the
means with which 10 make a living"
Therefore Il was said, IN carrying on
its secular occupations the community
did not exceed It's powers as a religious
body, nor was II doing anything 'ob-
uoxious TO a sound public policy

You don't think in using your best judgment in the Mutual Life in syndi- cate transactions there is any propri- ety in your making money out of some of the transactions?

 MT. Cromwell said he was a member of the syndicate which handled the Japanese bonds.
 The Mutual was buying bonds from the syndicate. and in the transaction in which Kuhn. Loeb & Co acted as the promoters, he acknowledged having Bought fifty bonds himself, and as far as he knew other members of the finance committee of the Mutual Life bought individual holdings, received in- dividually their share of the profit made by selling the bonds to the Mu- tual.
 It developed that the Mutual receives two per cent. interest on its deposits in the Morton Trust company.
 The United States Mortgage and Trust company was next taken up. This company belongs to the Mutual Life, and was obtained at cost of $1, 1,665 190.06 The company pays twenty per cent. on the par value of it's stock, and five percent. on its market value.
 Passing on to the Bank of California, the witnessed testified the Mutual held 5000 shares of the nominal value of $5OO, GOO, which had been purchased at a cost of s1,94O,O1079.

A pyrotechnical display of extreme brilliancy and gorgeousness will be giv- en at the White City this evening. The exhibition, which will be the last of the season, will be the most elaborate ever attempted at any shore resort in Con- necticut.

 The combination ticket, which costs but twenty-five cents and admits one to the gate, ehutes, scenic and minia- fure railways and the laughing gallery are selling like hot cakes. Again yes- terday the beautiful city was thronged with "comb bination ticket parties,' D many of them composed of ladies and children.

Champion VIII Referee Britt-NeIson
 Fight Tomorrow.

San Francisco, Sept. With hum dreds of sportsnen arriving daily to see the fight Saturday afternoon be- tween Jimmy Britt and Battling Nell son at Colma. referee had not been decided on up to tonight. It is said that James J, Jeffries will be referee in spite of objections raised by Nolan, Nelson's manager. Jeffries telegraphed to Manager Coffroth last night asking if he was expected to referee, and Golf froth replied in the affirmative, "Then I shall be in San Francisco Thursday night" replied .Jeffries. When he is on the ground and managers of the fight ters can come together with Coffroth and Jeffries 1t is the opinion of the best-posted sporting men that an agree ment will be. reached without much barley.
 The sale of seats goes on at a lively rate. There are hundreds of men from cities far ~ and near already on the scene. There will be large gathering of sporting writers and sporting atl- thorities from, all over the United States at the ringside.

 Manager Coffroth has already taken in $45,0O0 for seats and asserts that when the men enter the ring Saturday afternoon the prize for which they win contest will amount to $70,000, a record amount for ring contests. The betting to-day renlaihs unchanged-1O to ', with Britt the favorite. There is no great activity In the betting owing to the uncertainty as to the choice of referee
