DEFERRED DIVIDENDS

Actuary Mcciintock Tries to Enlishten
the Insurance Commission on the
Sub uhiect-Frick's Report Condemned
the System.
New York, Oct 25.-Emory Nc
Clintock, actuary of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, was recalled be-
fore the insurance investigating COM
mittee today, to give further details
of the technical phases of liie insur-
ance
The argument against deferred pol
icies contained in the Frick report on
the Equitable was read to Mccllntock.
The Frick report, in substance, de-
clared there was a potentialtty of evil
in the system, which defers distribution
of dividends for period of years;
that the policy holder who survives
benefits, but those whose policies
lapse suffer a disadvantage. McClln-
took said the use of the word Sur
plus" had been great detrimenT to
the Equitable because it was generally
misunderstood. He said 1t implied the
amount of the surplus was available
for immediate division. Other COM
panies had reserves, and determined
what amount should be divided among
the policy holders, and what annunt
should be reserved. McClinto,h said
as each man understands the coadi-
tions of a deferred dividend policy be-
fore he takes it out there did not
seem any real objection to the plan
from moral point of view, especially
as each policy carries it's, own surrel1-
der value. 1t appeared to him: that
the companies might properly state the
total amount of premiums on each
class of policy that have not yet re-
ceived their dividends. He est.m tied
the amount Of such In the Mutual at
1922, 900, but this would not enable
the policy holder to compare his divi-
dend with that of others or of other
companies. McClintock said the wo"es
deferred dividends" We're ambiguous
and lead the policy holders to believe
there were dividends accruing that
could be paid to him at the end Of
each wear. The New York Life, Re
said. had stated its accumulation at
deferred dividends for several years.
This was sometimes regarded as
legal liability and sometimes not. Wneh
he became connected with the Mutu u
there was no calculation of this acc1ni- :
ulation until the end of the d1strlDl-
tion period. so that there is no recog-
milton of legal liability, except for p'lr-
poses Of bookkeeping.

servative business man. If 1t is true

and is said to have taken little part III
politics heretofore.
Those who have been following the
agitation for a child labor law are put
out because they will not get all the
statistics that have been gathered at
this census on the subject Of child
Labor. The information was secured
with other information showing the
number of children in remunerative
employment in the state and their
ages and other valuable information.
This has been tabulated for part of
the counties of the state but not for
all, as 1t was found that the appropria-
ton was not large enough to complete
the work. The information so far as
secured will be furnished the legis-
lative committees and those favoring
the law can estimate the extent OF
child labor over the entire state by
comparison with, the counties for
which the information has been tabu-
lated.
The first copy or the census re-
port was sent to the state printer yes
terday by Secretary A. III. Dawson OF
the executive council.
The members Of the state board Of
control start Friday from Council

chairman of the board, and Mr.. Nc

counts of the institution as required
by law. Judge Kinne has so far re-
covered from his attack of pneumonia
as to be able to be at the office again.

Special to Times blican.
Des Moines, Oct. 25.-The supreme
court today affirmed the conviction of
e. S. Blydenburgh for poisoning his
wife, Jennie, with rough-on-rats, at
Eldora. Blydenburgh is now serving
life sentence. Justices Deemer and
Weaver dissent. The opinion of the
majority say the jury need not be sat
isfied beyond a reasonable doubt of
each link In the chain Of circumstan-
tial evidence relied upon by the state.
Deemer says this was formerly the
opinion of this and other courts, but
that the courts and text writer's now
say that each circumstance in the
chain must be proved beyond reason
able doubt Weaver holds the same
opinion and also holds that proof OF
death by poison was not established by
the state.

There was considerable excitement
TODAY on all ,glilroad stations which are
in possession of the troops. No trains
departed Railroad battalions wer.
called out and an attempt will be made
to run train from Moscow and the
O ontier tomorrow. Collisions are
feared. Great crowds assembled al
MOSCOW station. Gendarmes inter
fered twice to restore order, but there
was no bloc lshed. Leaders of the
strikers on the Moscow and Warsaw
lines have planned a big meeting fol
October q. There are 100000 railroad
employees In the empire and their av-
erage wage Is $140 per annum. This
afternoons reports show an enormous
extension OF the strike All the Poland
lines are tied UP and a strike has begun
on the Great Southwestern system
covering a territory southwark from
Kieff toward Odessa. The German
Red Cross which arrived from the
front is unable to leave st. Peters
burg.
Trains in the Baltic provinces are
not running and the situation is re-
ported very bad at Riga and Lfbau
Railroad stations here are guarded by
police troops and soldiers in the bar
racks are kept under arms. Squads od
Cossacks are in evidence in the streets
which are filed with idle men. EN-
ployes in the factories on Schlussel-
burg walked out today in sympathy
with the railroad strikers. The price
Of food is Increasing and the people
are becoming alarmed. The postoffce
refuses to accept registered letters
parcels or money for transmission
abroad. Radical papers are in open
sympathy with the strikers. The Nasha
shish has been confscated. Hospital
trains having on board five hundred
sick and wounded soldiers from Man
churia are held UP near Moscow. The
condition Of the men is pitiable.

Moscow In Great Distres. as Result Of
Strike.

oIrIkos
Moscow, Oct. 25.-This city today
resembles a state OF siege. The price
of meat has trebled and there is great
distress among the poor. Many people
living in nt.ighboring provinces and
who came to Moscow are camping in
the street. Two thousand persons arr.
living in cars. The populace is be-
coming panicky. A young girl am
ployed at the railroad station fell on
her knees before the strikers and
pleaded with them not to surrender,
declaring they shoald continue the
struggle, not for material reasons, but
for the achievement of human lib rty.
The crowd responded with singing this.
"Marseillaise."
