To Complete the Thanksgiving Feast

This loading Eldredge said was about twice the amount of loading usually as- sessed upon policies He said the North western when it was bought was fast get ting into a position where 1t could not pay its death claims. The policyholders in the Northwestern also accepted re- duction of their insurance. The chief feature to the Mutual Reserve company MT Eldredge said was the added expense money which could be collected on those policies.
 MT. Hughes asked why the Mutual Re- serve company had increased salaries at time when it was being compelled to make extra assessments upon policy holders.
 MT. Eldredge said the company needed the best possible service at such a time and the officers who did the hard work Of rectifying errors for which they were not to blame, were entitled to fair re- compense.
 North Carolina Contest.
 The polcyholders of North Carolina in 1897 or 1898 contested the right of the company to increase it's assessments. on the one-year class of policies It was a concerted movement by attorneys and the courts gave Judgments against the com
  amounting to about $100000. The judg- ments have not been paid but are now in the courts on appeal. The court of appeals of New York state decided against the company and an appeal to the United States supreme court is now pending.
 MT. Eldredge said there had been liti- gation over the right to assess the holders of policies of the one-year class in many other states and the companys attitude had been sustained. The right of the com- pany to So assess. he said was sustained in North Carolina but the manner in which the assessment was made, was discrimination In reply to questions by MT Hughes, MT. Eldredge said the Mu- tual Reserve had been refused license or it's license had been withdrawn in Minnesota, Wisconsin. Massachusetts and Ca fornia, because 1t refused to submit to an examination other than that of tho New York state insurance department.
 The committee adjourned until Monday morning.

FINAL FOOTBALL GAME
 TOBE PLAYED TODAY

In the final football game of the season in Birmingham, Alabama and Tennessee will do battle this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the West End gridiron, under the shadow of old Mount Slag." Reserved seats for the game have been placed on sale and they are going rapidly.
 The Alabama team arrived last night at $50 o'clock from Tuscaloosa and the Tennessee team arrived several hours la ter oyer the Queen and Crescent route from Knoxville The formr team is quar- tered at the St. Nicholas
 There is much speculation as to the result of the game. It is generally thought that Alabama Is the stronger of the two teams. but at least two of the Ala bama players are not in the best of con dition and Neill will not be able to play .SarSain has a bad knee and it is doubtful if he will be able to last more than a short while. and Ward is in nearly as bad condition.
 In the Auburn game both Ward and Sar- tain were crippled to some extent and in the Sewanee game both had to retire from the field Ward will begin the game, but it is probable that he will not be able to play very long. The other mem bers of the team are, however, in good condition. Lewis will relieve Neill at tackle and judging from his efforts in the Au-

 the 5-year class deficit of s1Oo,OoO prior to 1895, he said. The rates of premium paid on the policies of his company were too small and the company increased it's rates. When the rate finally was made what it should have been it was not sufficient to recoup the losses which had resulted under an insufficient rate.
 MT. Eldredge said Louis F. Payne, the state superintendent of insurance after an examination in the increase of rate assessments reported that some increase had been necessary but did not endorse that which the company had made. Will lard " King, vice president of the New York Security and Trust company, pre- sented a statement of accounts of that company with the Union Savings Bank and Trust company of Tacoma, Wash ington
 The New York company was trustee of some debenture bonds issued by the Ta- coma company, a large part of which were owned by the New York Life Insurance company. The statement showed a pay ment of s16,314 to Andrew Hamilton as 10 per cent of the warrants collected after the city of Tacoma had repudiated them. Mir King said he had seen letters ind eating that Hamilton paid $3500 to re- ceiver, and also legal fees.
 Mir. King produced a statement of pay mentS made by lne NeW 1OIh 0tcuIily and Trust company to Andrew Hamilton from 1895 to 1902. It showed an aggregate of s114,000 apparently in Mir Hamilton's notes, but MT. King said he thought some of these notes were renewals of the oth- CTS.
 George D. Eldredge went on the stand again and told how the Mutual Life Re- serve Insurance company had purchased the business of the Northwestern Life Assurance association and paid therefor $211 900 to Solomon & Levin, for the re- ceiver of the Northwestern and made other payments to Dewitt c. Merriam, bringing the total price up to s276,000. The assets of the Northwestern acquired by the Mutual Reserve were worth $294000.
 Paid Their Own Death Claims.
 MT. Hughes and Senator Cox brought out that the policies were treated separ- ately and made to pay their own death cleans and besides that a loading of B per cent of their premiums towards the general expenses of the Mutual Reserve.

ON THE RACE TRACK.
At New Orleans.

New Orleans, November 29.-Tomorrow the regular winter racing season will begin at both the Crescent City Jockey clubs fair grounds course and at the New Orleans Jockey clubs city park track
 From present appearances it is safe to predict that there will be no lack of patronage at either. Both tracks are in perfect order tonight and as the weather is bright and turning colder rain is not anticipated. Both cards are good, and as a rule the fields are large. The New Orleans Jockey clubs card for six races has sixty-five entires, while the Crescent City Jockey club has an entry list of sixty seven.
 The hotels and the better class of lodg- ing houses are already filled to overflow ing and tradesmen are looking forward to an exceptionally prosperous winter
