The failure of the supreme court to
hand down a decision in the soldiers
preference law case from MARSHALL.
town. during the reconvened session,
reads those especially interested in tina
case TO speculation as to whether a de-
cislcn will be handed down before the
legislature convenes. If no opinion is
filed before the session opens in Janu-
airy it is not unlikely that movement
will be undertaken to secure amend
ments to the law which will meet the
objections raised against it and which
were the basis for the adverse decision
of Judge Caswell of Marshall county.
If these objections which were carried
TO the supreme court in argument were
met by suitable amendments to the
law. it is supposed that the decision of
the supreme court would lose it's signi-
ficance, so far as cases dissimilar to
the Marshalltown case are concerned.
One of the objections referred to was
the fact that the law applies solely to
veterans of theSfivil war and does not
INCLUDE other sbldiers. This is the
point on which the technical claim of
class legislation is based

New York, Oct 3.-The facts OBJ
tanned by the legislative investigating
committee relating to payments of
money by the New York Life Insur-
ance company to the republican cam
paign fund have aroused Attorney Gen.
eral Mayer to action, according to in.
formation received. He has ordered
John A. Mccall, president of the New
York Life company, to restore the mon
ey to the company's treasury. If he
does not, suit will be entered against
him to compel restitution. This state.
ment was made by one of the fvestif
surance commissioners now here from
western and southern states. These
commissioners, stirred by the testi-
ficials as to the appropriation of the
policy holders money for campaign
purposes, decided after correspondence
among themselves to come to New
York and discover whether there are
sufficient grounds to GUST the New York
Life from its privileges in their states.
Five States Interested.
The state commissioners referred to
are R. E. Folk of Tennessee, H. j.
Trewitt of Kentucky, Zeno M. Host of
Wisconsin, Thomas V. OBrien of Min
uesota, and G. c. Pierce of Nebraska.
They met at the Hoffman house Friday
and decided to take up at once the in
vestigation of the New York Life. In
the evening they called upon President
| Mccall and told him of their inten.
| TONS The commissioners expressed
surprise to President Mccall over his
confession that the New York Life had
used it's policy holders money for cam
paign contributions, but Mr.. Mccall
only smiled.

sioners to him, "to go thoroughly into
this line of investigation, in the hope
that we will be able to trace all the
money paid out in this manner"
