BITTER FIGHT IS ON
MUTUAL LIFE TRUSTEES PLAN
TO GUST McCURDY
President is Building up Defensive
Force While His Enemies Are Or
ganizing to Secure Enough Proxies
to Defeat Him

Indications of bitter struggle in
the Mutual Life Insurance company
between the McCurdys and the anti
McCurdys are rapidly coming to the
surface.
That a determined effort to drive
Richard A. McCurdy from the presi-
dency of the company and the Nc
Curdy followers from the lucrative
berths they occupy is now on foot is
no longer denied.
Leaders Not Yet Ready
The men who are leading the fight
are not yet ready to come into the
open. They are anxious that the work
of the Truesley Investigating COM
mittee shall not be complicated, and
are confident that it's report will elm
mate the McCurdys from the Mutual
Life.
They have been told that President
McCurdy is now doing missionary
work among the trustees to build up
an organization within the company
that will vote down any report from
the Investigating committee which
may recommend his removal.
Several men who are large policy
holders in the Mutual Life have taken
steps toward the formation of policy
holders committee. They intend to
send out a call to the 100000 policy
holders for proxies. If they get 10000
proxies they are confident they will
be able to GUST the McCurdy admin
istration. The proxies held jointly
by President McCurdy and Vice-Presi-
dent Robert A. Granniss are not be-
lieved to number more than $4,000,
and it is said that hundreds of these
have been revoked recently.
Outline of the Plan
At the annual election next spring
the present plan is to defeat all the
McCurdy trustees who are put up
for reelection. Then at the election
of officers the opposition believes it
will be strong enough to defeat for re-
election President McCurdy, Vice
President Ganniss, Treasurer Fred
eric Cromwell and others who are
regarded as McCurdy men.

LIFE Is SAVED BY SHOT.
Williams Was Looking for Trouble
and Found Il.

LOMBARD, Mont, March 22-Mar-
vim c. Williams, Is years of age, who
had just arrived from Pennington, St.
Francis county, Mo-, was shot through
the hand just as he had drawn a re-
volver on a Mr. Douglas without prov
ocation.
It seems Williams thought Montana
a wild and woolly region where gun
plays were ery-day occurrences. So,
Immediately on arriving, he began
drinking and shortly was staggering
around town, imagining himself a bad
man.
In the evening he picked a quarrel
with Douglas, a salesman. Mr.. Doug
las said something that Williams did
not like and he at once drew his gun,
but before he could fire Peck, a bar
tender, drew his gun from behind the
bar and shot Williams through the
hand, knocking his gun from his
fingers and in all probability saving
Douglas life.
Williams says his father is clerk of
the district court of st. Francis coun-
ty Missouri. In all probability he will
be released, as no one seems anxious
20 prosecute him.

SUGGESTS w. H. REED FOR RAIL
ROAD COMMITS SIONER.

Editor Statesman.
The personnel of railway commits
sion is a matter of vital interest to the
farmers and shippers of the Inland
Empire In view of the interest to our
part of the state I would suggest as a
fitting man for the position a man who
is in thorough harmony with the spirit
of the law. One who is expert as an
accountant One who thoroughly un-
derstands the minutae of the opera
tions of railway traffic in it's many
and varied phases. If this man could
be appointed as a member Of the COM
mission from the western part Of the
state, it would give universal pleasure
and confidence in his ability and his
fairness to both the railroad people
and the people at large. I see the
governor manifests a desire to place
men on the commission who will do
the people good service without regard
to political Affiliations or locality.
There is no man could be put in the
place who would give more satisfac-
ton to our section of the state. refer
to Hon. w. H. Reed Of Tacoma.

Convicts Attempt to Kill IL.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 22.-An
attempt at escape and wholesale liber-

penitentiary at Petros, Tenn, was
frustrated by the timely discovery of

These men were found as they were

each with five sticks Of dynamite,
fuses, caps and pick. They resisted,
but were quickly overpowered, pun

confession of their purpose to blow up

GIVE THEM DOLLS.
Educator Would Have Us DandIe Toy
Children.

CHICAGO, March Eff your
father or even your grandfather
should delight in dancing a big wax
doll on his knee and should smile in
anism lisps the word mama" do not
try to discourage him. On the other
hand, slap him on the back and jovi-
ally excIaim: Go it, dad Keep it up!
You're the stuff"
Such. by suggestion at least, was
the advice offered yesterday by Pro-
fessor William Dean MacClintock of
the University of Chicago in an ad-
dress to the Womans Columbian club
at Northwestern university settlement.
'If your boy wants to play with
dolls, do not laugh at him." began
the speaker. II would congratulate
any one of you if you told me that
your son would rather play house
than football. When girls play with
dolls. they are learning to be mothers,
and it is the instinct {: fatherhood
which prompts the boy to join them.
Buy the boy a doll or two, than, if he
iikes them, let him pretend to be a
father whenever the mood prompts
him. d.
Why, 1 have a great, big 10y, rs
years old who still likes his dolls and
1 am proud of him. He is strong and
healthy, and close to the long-trouser
period. but he keeps two dolls tucked
away in a bureau drawer, and looks
at them once in a while just to see if
their clothes are clean, and if they
are resting easily. Whenever he goes
to take a peep at them, know that he
is imagining himself child again,
and the thought makes me happy. l
nope he keeps them until he is old"
Professor MacClintock, after grant
ing indulgence to the doll-loving boys,
voiced objections to sport" which he
defined as play put to the purpose of
gain.
True play" he declared, 'is the only
thing l know of which will kill the
false spirit of sport"

Heavy Western Freight Movement.

CHICAGO, Til, March 22.-Trafic
officials of the Western roads report
that west-bound traffic is extremely
heavy at present. 1t is expected when
final reports regarding it are received
that they will show all previous rec
ords to have been broken. The snip
ments are all high-class freight, so
that revenue derived from Transporter
ton will be very large. The roads are
badly pressed for equipment to keep
up, and in some instances they are
considerably behind. Grain shipments
east bound are also quite heavy, so
that the roads are busy in both direc-
tions. March earnings are expected
to show quite an improvement over
those of the corresponding month last
year.

GET-RiCH-QUICk CONCERN.
Receiver Named for Bucketshop With
System Making Losses impossible.

TRENTON, N. j., March 22.-State
Senator w. J. Bradley of Camden, N.
J., was today appointed receiver for
the Storey Cotton company, which
claimed to conduct a discretionary
business in cotton futures. It's oper-
atoms reached over every state and
territory in the union, as we'll as into
foreign countries.
In the petition for the receivership
facts, furnished by Secretary Treas
urer Quinlan, were set forth showing
that the concern has more than 10000
patrons; assets of not more than $780,
900, and liabilities in excess of $780,
900. ALI Of these figures are believed
to be advertisements, available infor-
nation tending to show that the scope
of the Storey concerns operations will
dwarf the Dean failure of a few years
ago and the Franklin syndicate, man
aged by $40 per cent Miller.
The concern claimed to deal on both
sides of the cotton market in such
manner that losses were absolutely
impossible. Ministers, schoolteachers
and insurance agents were employed
as solicitors on a commission Of 10 per
cent, and money has flown to the COM
pany in a tremendous stream.
Secretary-Treasurer Quinlan uisap-
peared after the receivership hearing
and his present whereabouts are un-
known

ENG OH kANG'S ADVENTURE

CHINESE MERCHANT HAS HARD
TIME GETTING BACK TO
WALLA WALLA.
Left Here Seven Years Ago for China
Spends Last Four Months at
Port Townsend.

Eng Oh Kang, partner in the Chi
nese firm of Kwong Wang Sang doing
business in Rose street, was a happy
Chinaman yesterday when he arrived
in Walla Walla after an absence of
nearly seven years, all but four months
of which was spent at his old home
in China. The last four months Kang
spent at Port Townsend where ne was
held by the immigration inspector
pending an examination of his right to
land on American soil. Hangs papers
when he left Walia Walla seven years
ago were witnessed by General James
McAuliff and in order to effect a land
ing at Port Townsend on his return to
the United States four months ago it
was necessary for Mr.. McAuliff to visit
that port and identify his old friend.
This was done to the satisfaction of
immigration Inspector Sargent, but
before Kang could secure his release it
was necessary for Mr.. Sargent to for
ward his report to the department at
Washington which delayed his landing
several weeks. Kang was released
Monday afternoon and hurried on to
Walla Walla, arriving yesterday.
Hangs old time Chinese friends gave
him a hearty reception yesterday and
he has been busy since arriving home

subsequent adventures
