STATEMENT

Fees
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 26.-As chairman
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety's board of directors, Paul Morton
has begun legal proceedings to recover
money alleged to have have wrongfully
taken from the society, and he also
has cut off certain perquisites in the
society. Mr.. Morton tonight made the
following statement:
II have retained Austin G. Fox and
Wallace McFarlane as special counsel
to institute such legal proceedings as
they may consider to be appropriate for
the recovery of any money and prop
erty to which the Equitable is found to
be entitled.
"These attorneys have been instruc-
ted to put themselves in communication
with the attorney general and the in
surance department and to act in har-
mony with them.
1T has been the rule heretofore to
allow directors $25 for attending exec
utive committee meetings of the Equit-
able society and these allowances We're
made whether the directors were pres
ent or absent.
This has been changed. No director
will in the future get fees unless he is
present at the meetings and no officer,
employe. who happenrs 10 be director
will hereafter receive any fee for at
tending board meetings of any kind"
1t became known late tonight that
Directors Charles Stewart Smith and
Marcellas BARLEY Dodge placed their
in the hands Of Paul Nor
ton.

Robbed Her Sister

"She even made me rob my sister of
her savings which she had in the bank.
and took it to pay her way across the
country to Baltimore cried the girl
as she realized the events of the last
few months and shuddered with awe
at her narrow escape.
William j. Danford, who has been
acting as attorney for Mr.. Brooches, and
was first to locate the fleeing party on
the train at North Platte, Neb., de-
clares that every possible means will
be taken to obtain extradition papers
for the return of Mrs. Adler.
When it was learned that Mrs. Adler
had escaped to Baltimore, an effort was
made to secure her arrest and return
for trial but, owing to lack of funds
in the state treasury, nothing could be
done.
Mr.. Danford said yesterday that the
crime of which Mrs. Adler was first ac-
cused is much more serious than at
first thought and the question of ex-
tradition is to be taken up again.

The Days of Pewtvp.

Pewter played an important domestic
part in the days of our distant ances-
TORS. A peep at some of the household
books Of the Stuart days is quite a
revelation on this point. In 1864, for
instance, Sir Miles Stapleton, a York
shire baronet, took it into his head to
replenish his stock of pewter, and here
are a few of his many purchases as re-
corded in his own handwriting: cit,
paid for six lardge puter plntters or
dishes at Is. I'd. a pound, and they
weighed 81 pound and a half, which
comes to f04.01.05; paid for two dozen
of puter plates at Is. Cd. a pound and
they weighed 81 pound, E02.15.60; paid
then more for two puter stands for the

the same time are two dozen new pew

large quantity of spoons, basins and

Queer Looking Worms.

New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan

portions Of the Hawaiian group, are
the homes Of various species of worms
with thick, heavy bodies and with a
well defined neck connecting the body
with head that is a startling remind
er Of that Of the monkey. In the Sand
wich Islands they are called me-ta.lu-

For White Primary
Nominations.

The action Of the county executive
committee in electing city commit
tee for the management of white

a matter upon which the citizens of
Pensacola may well congratulate
themselves.
The city committee is composed of
as excellent gentlemen as could have
been selected and The journal has no
doubt but that they viii discharge
the important duties deyolving upon
them faithfully and well.
The Journal takes some little pride
in the consummation of this important
movement, because it was really the
moverin directing. public sentiment to
the Importance of the white primary
and in securing a definite expression
OF public sentiment on that subject.
indeed, had-itsnotsbeen for The Jour
nal, the reading public of this city
would not yet know that the matter
was being agitsteol or was to be acted
upon, as this paper alone has given
them all the information that has
been published, about it.

committee to organize and issue a
call for a primary and the latter will
be conducted on the-o of the state

Almost anyone can offer a better
defense for General Miles than he
does for himself-namely, that he was
a bumptious young fool, who thought
to gain favor in high quarters by an
excessive show Of what he imagined
to be his loyalty to the government.
He wrote himself backwards into his
tory. The best thing would be for
him to confess it and forget it.-Mo-
