ance, thru his counsel, Attorney General
Hadley, F. W. Lehman and John M.
Wood, today filed In the United States
circuit court here, his reply to the petit
tion of the New York Life Insurance
company, in the Injunction proceedings
recently instituted by the New York
Life company to overthrow his order
revoking it's Missouri license.
Superintendent Vandiver charged, at
the time he ordered the company's Ii,
cense revoked, that the New York Life
had forfeited it's right to continue bust.
ness in Missouri. He cited the testi-
mony brought out before the New York
legislative Investigating committee, to
the effect that President Mccall and his
associates had, during four years past
spent large sums Of money to secure de.
fund contributions. -. =
:. In the reply fled today, Mr.. Van
diver accuses President Mccall Of de
bauching public morals, corrupting leg
islatior and looting the funds of policy
holders by extravagant ventures an6
reckless speculation. ~.
The answer fills ten typewriter
pages. It contains direct and severe
attacks on President Mccall, Vice Presi
dent George W. Perkins and other off
GERS Of the New York Life, 8 1t directs
specific attention to the charge that Nc
Call and Perkins have, in bad and ques
tionable real estate Investments, lost

Superintendent Vandiver maintains
that the Missouri insurance department
has the right to require insurance com
parties doing business in the state tc
manage their affairs in proper man
ner, and to insist on election of new Of
ficers and the adoption Of methods that
will insure the funds of the policyhold
ers.
The return makes general denial Of

company. By agreement among the

HEIRESS. WILL APPEAL
ON EXCOMMUNICATI.N

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2.-Bishop Scannen
refused to talk further today concern
ing the excommunication. Of Miss Mae
Hamilton for attending the wedding OF
a .divorcee,, and Father Coianeri, chan
cellor of the diocese, replied sharply
that the incident was closed. Friends
of Miss Hamilton, however, declare
with equal emphasis that it is not. SAID
one Of them today:
cit is not within the laws Of the
church that a CATHOLIC cannot assist at
the wedding of a Divorce. Bishop
Scannell simply overreached his juris-
diction when he laid down that rule
/ in his PASTORAL. Any Catholic has the
right of appeal from the decision Of 9
bishop, and Miss Hamilton will most
E? sta carry the case up to the arch
On the other hand, other Catholics
argued that the bishop has the right of
accommodation, inasmuch as he holds
jurisdiction over the members Of the
church in his diocese, and under the
canon laws can excommunicate those
whom he considers guilty of sin suffi-
cient to warrant such action.

Arrested with Their Men for Standing
Against the Gear.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2.-2:50 a.m-
The guards arrested at Tsarskoe Selo
Thursday night and Friday morning

All kinds Of rumors are current, in
Guiding the assertion that one Of the
grand dukes is involved in q conspiracy

can be verified. It only seems certain
that no confidence can be placed even
on the guard regiments. Arrested sol

Garrison Reinforced.
The garrison of the Tsarskoe selo has
been reinforced by the Semionovka
regiment. Grand Duke Nicholas Mich
elaevitch, commander Of the imperial
guard, has decided to send in turn all
the other guard regiments to Tsarskoe
Selo.

Count Witte has declined to receive a

but he sent note to the deputation
recommending that the strikers ad-

Lewis Nixon Of New York was re-
ceived in audience by Emperor Nicholas
yesterday at Tsarskoe -Selo. The audi
ence was, unusually long for one of a
private character, lasting over half an
hour. Vice Admiral Biriieff. minister of
marine, was present.
The czar displayed not the slightest
trace of the gloomy detection in which
he is pictured as being plunged, but on
the contrary showed neither physical
nor mental traces Of the great strain he
is undergoing. He wore the simple uni
form of an officer of the imperial
guards, without single order of deco
ration. Such references as he made to
events in Russia indicated that his ma
lesty had complete grasp Of the situa-
tion.
The opportunity of talking to an
American seemed to be particularly vel

extremely appreciative vein of the
United States, its people in general and
its great men in particular, linking the
