The Growth of the Prudential

The prosperity and progress Of the
great insurance organizations such as
The Prudential, to whose care Is
committed such a large share of the
nations savings, is a matter of finan-
cial interest to many millions OF the
people. AS this company alone has
nearly 100000 policies In force, COW
ering life insurance exceeding one
billion dollars, it can be seen how the
tide of public confidence has flowed In
| increasing volume toward this insti-
tuition.
The annual statement of the COM
pany, just published, brings out some
interesting facts. 1t shows that the
life insurance issued and paid for
during the year 1904 exceeded $312.-
100000, being the largest in the his
paid to it's policy holders, bringing
the total since organization to an
amount exceeding $92, 100000.
1t Is certainly impossible to esti-
mate the amount of good which the
distribution of this vast sum of
money has accomplished for the
American people who have been it's
recipients.
The company has at different times
made changes and concessions in it's
policies, which resulted in giving ad-
dtional benefits to those insured.
Wherever practicable these conces-
sions are made retroactive; and up
to the present time the company has
distributed in cash dividends and
other concessions, not stipulated in
original contracts, and voluntarily
given to holders of old policies over
S.. 900 900.
The financial side OF the statement
shows equal progress The assets of
The Prudential were increased by
$16,000,000 and the analysis of these
assets, as given in the statement,
shows them to be of the highest pos
sible character. 1t is shown, for in
stance, that the bonds and stocks
owned by the company have increased
in value since their purchase by over
$14O0,OO0, and that ample security is
afforded by properties and collateral
securities upon which the loans of
the company have been made. The
total assets of The Prudential now
exceed over $ss,OOOOO0; the liabilities
are H5,0OO,000, leaving a surplus of
$13, ,000, 900.
The company will furnish any in
formation concerning its policies to
those who write to the Home Office,

TOUGHs ATTACK
WRONG OFFICER
JOCKEY AND T0UTS LANDED
IN JAIL
Hoodums Make an Assault on Plain
Clothes Man, but He Defeats
Them Single
Handed

A group Of Ascot touts and Jockeys
sauntered out Of the Palace cafe at
First and Spring streets just before
midnight last night and one of them,
Jockey Austin, bumped into two young
women who were standing on the cor
ner, accompanying the action with an
insulting remark Plain Clothes Man
Tom Zeigler saw the action and inn
mediately asked the girls, who seemed
to resent the remark made to them by
the Jockey, If they knew him. When
they declared they had never before
seen him zeigler laid his hand on the
shoulder of the diminutive jockey and
told him to come along.
Instantly the gang jumped on the
officer and struck him repeatedly in
the face and on the body, but though
officer succeeded in placing all of his
assailants under arrest. Zeigler had
no club to aid him in handling his as
sailants and as they were all as large
and heavy as he was he had his hands
full for a few moments and was pretty
we'll hammered, but by drawing his
handouts and using them as knuckles
he knocked out the leader of the gang
and the remainder soon gave up.
There were number of jockeys and
stable boys and touts in the crowd, but
only three attacked the officer. The
offenders were taken to the station and
locked up.
Victor Day. the leader of the gang,
had to be sent to the receiving hospi-
tai for treatment before he was taken
to Jail. E. Magley was locked up,
charged with attacking an officer.
Jockey Austin was released on his own
recognizance.

LONG BEACH To
REBUILD PAVILION
BOND ISSUE OF $4,000 Is
APPROVED
Work on New Structure to Be Begun
at Once-Three More Import
ant Special Elections to
Come
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONG BEACH, Feb. 25.-The bond
issue of 100000 to build a new pavilion
here was approved by an overwhelm-
ing vote today. Over half the total
vote of the city was cast. There were
S2S for the issue and 446 against, with
ten rejected. The result means that
the pavilion will soon be under con-
struction, over which fact Long Beach
is very jubilant tonight.
With the bond issue question de-
cided, Long Beach now faces three
more special elections concerning mu-
nicipal subjects On March IL the
charter election will be held. The OPP
position to the proposed charter is very
strong, and there is considerable doubt
OF it's adoption. The liquor question
will arise at the same election, for the
new charter contains two alternatives
on this proposition, one permitting the
serving of liquor in hotels, the other
prohibiting it altogether.
On March Is the question of issu-
ing $4,000 school bonds will be sub
mitted to the people and Is certain to
be approved. Then on March % bond
issue of $4,000 to establish a paid fire
department will be voted on and this
is also warmly opposed.

Foreign Office Declines to Make Of
ficiaI Expression of Opinion

By Associated Press.
LONDON. Feb. 25.-The foreign office
received the findings of the North sea
commission, but declined to give out
any official expression Of opinion there
on. An official said to the Associated

"The finding of the commission is
final. We, therefore. must be satisfied,
and it would be bad taste for us to
express dissatisfaction"
The Associated Press understands
unofficially, however, that the foreign
office is we'll pleased with the findings.
The findings were received in London
with every sign of qualification, which
was all the more marked because of
the premature reports that the decision
Of the admirals had been of an anti

j. 5. c. TO MEET
CATHOLIC SQUAD
FIELD DAY TO BE HELD NEXT
SATURDAY
Encouraging Prospects for st. Vim
cents AthIetes-Occiden Pre-.
pairing for Contest With
Pomona

Negotiations have been concluded be-
University of Southern California and
st. Vincent's college for a dual track
meet to be held on the University of
Southern California oval Saturday af-
ternoon. The Methodist athletes who
have been absorbing knowledge under
the tutelage of Harvey Holmes antici-
pate encountering more difficulty in
disposing of the Catholic squad than
that experienced in triumphng over
Occidental. st. Vincent's has several
sprinters and hurdlers who made very
creditable records in the interclass try
out. Murrietta has clipped time off
10 2-5 seconds and will undoubtedly
make Parsons extend himself in the
100 yard dash,
On the strength of Wilhoits work this
year in training it is conceded that the
Catholics will take the pole vault
handily. Wilhoit has been vaulting
around eleven feet and is always good
for at least ten feet six inches. In all
sesses particularly promising material.
In the weights they have Samples, who
has been putting the shot and tossing
the lead in a way that is disconcerting
to the scouts" who have been detaile 1
to secure reliable information as to the
Catholic huskies' stunts with the leads.
Prof. Holmes plans to leave for Stau-
ford university with the Methodist
track squad about March 8. This will
leave the athletic representatives of
U. S. C. several days to prepare for
their schedule contest with Stanford
on March II. While the team which
will go upon the northern junket has
practically been selected there are sew
eral places which will not be decided
until after the approaching field day
with st. Vincent's.
Occidental and Pomona
Occidental will begin active training
next week for the meeting with the
Pomona squad week from Saturday
at Claremont. Walter Hempel, the
athletic dictator of the Pomona collie
gians. has stated that figuring from the
record made by the Highland park
athletes last Wednesday against u.
S. c. Pomona will easily demonstrate
her superiority to U. S. C. by defeating
Occidental by a decisive and over
whelming score. While protesting 20
have no opinion as to the probable out
come of meet between U. S. C. and
Pomona HempePs assertion that his
pupils can win from Occidental by a
bigger margin of points than secured
by the University of Southern Cali
fornia is made with significant en-
phasis.
Students and supporters of the High
land park institution are not downcast
at the defeat of the team and from the
prep. observer to Ed. Merrill all believe
that they will spring a surprise upon
the complacent and confident men of
Claremont. The comparative results
of the meets between Occidental, u. S.
c. and Pomona will form the only
basis of estimating the respective
strength of the track squad of u. S. C..
and Pomona college. So they will be
eagerly calculated and interpreted.
