Memphis, Tenn, Dec. ga bill
was filed Thursday seeking to have
John P. Edmondson removed as re-
ceiveg Of the Merchants Trust com
pany, which closed its doors Wednes-
day. The petitioners are creditors,
and the bill sets forth that the liza
bilities are S3,OOO,OOO and assets

PROMINENT MEN MEET.
Association for Advancement Of Sol

at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec 30.-The fifty
ninth annual meeting OF the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
OF Science opened here Friday with
about 300 delegates registered. Among
these are many of national and inter-
national prominence. The first gen
eral session was held in Temple Sinai,
where Former Congressman G, y.
Buck, on behalf of the governor;
Mayor Behrman and President
Craighead, of Tulane university, made
addresses of welcome. Prof, w. g.,
Farlow, OF Harvard, the retiring presi-
dent, presented the president, COL
vim M. Woodward, of ST. Louis.
After the reception Of the delegates
the various sections proceeded to diff
ferent halls for business, many OF
them being accommodated at Tulane
university.
It is thought the attendance will
be swelled to 500 during the conyen-
ton. Among the matters to be dis
cussed is a change in the time of the
meeting to summer In order to secure
larger attendance. For the south one

CASTRO is AGAIN ANoERED
Colombia Becomes Object Of PTesi-
DENTS Wrath--Failure to Arrest
General Is Cause.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Serious trou,
BILE has again broken out between Co.
1ombta and Venezuela, according TO
cable adyices received at the state
department Wednesday from Bogota
1t appears that one of President Cas-
fro's generals named Montilla, sta
toned near the border, finding him
self disliked by President Castro, fed
across the border into Colombia to
a place called Cucuta. The Vene-
zuelan consul there demanded his ar
rest end that he be delivered to the
Venezuelan authorities This de-
mand was transmitted to Bogota, and
the Colombian government instructed
the local authorities at Cucuta to- ar
rest the man and send him to the cap,
ital pending extradition proceedings.
But in the meantime, and before this
order reached Cucuta, Montilla made
his escape, and has not yet been
found. President Castro was great
ty apgered at this, and promptly re-
called the Venezuelan consul at Gu
cuta He also served notice of his
intention to withdraw the Venezuelan
consul at the Colombian capital, Bo-
gotta. The diplomatic relations be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela were
Just on the poipt of being reestab-
lished, SO that this last action is
equivalent to complete rupture. It
is believed here, however, that when
president Castro learns that the CO..
Iombian government was not at fault,
The threatened trouble will be avertad.

AGENTS PAID A NEAT sum
PRESIDENT MUM OF UNITED
STATES LIFE ON STAND.
Receive Three Fourths of First Years
Premiums and Percentage
of Renewals.

New York, Dec. 80. = President John
P. Mum, of the United States Life In
surance company, appeared before the
legislative Investigating committee Fri
day. He was asked about the agency
contracts of his company Mr.. Mum
said thathis agents were paid rs per cent
of first year premiums and five per cent,
on renewals for ten years. He thought
the company could do this and keep
within its expense loadings on policies.
The actuary of this company made the
calculations for this. More than three
fourths of this company's business is on
the deferred dividend plan, about six
per cent. of the business is on the annual
dividend plan.
The total book value of this company's
real estate holdings is SIPS, 48S and the
lcompany's appraised value of this prop
erty SS71, $50 The net income from the
real estate is $25,23O. The insurance de-
partment's appraisal of the same par
cells of property is $76S,55O. The COM
pany's building in Oswego, which was
acquired by foreclosure, is carried at a
book value of $42,625, and the company
appraises its value at s45 1000, while the
insurance departments appraisal is
$28,S0O The net annual income is but
$3.50. Witness said the reason of the
small income from this property is it is
close to a railroad and the incessant
switching of trains made it undesirable
Tor many purposes. Henry B. Stokes,
president of the Manhattan Life Insur-
ance company, of New York, followed
Mr.. Mum.
Adrian Iselin, Of the banking firm of
A., Iselin & Co., member of the finance
committee of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, presented statement of his
participations in underwriting syndi7
Gates in which the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company also took part.
A copy of the evidence thus far SUBJ
mltted to the legislative insurance in
vestigation committee was received by
District Attorney Jerome Thursday.
There are numerous volumes. Assist
ant District Attorney Mott said that a
special grand jury probably will be ems
paneled in February to consider the tes-
timony.

CALL MONEY RATES SOAR
NEW YORK BROKERS FORCED
TO PAY 125 PER CENT.
Figure Is Highest Since Year 1899
No Panic in Market as
Result.

New York, Dec. 29-Rates for call
money to supply the demands of spec
ulators scared Thursday to 125 per
cent, the highest figure since 1899.
In spite of the tremendous advance,
there was no panic in the stock or
money market. Stocks slumped at
first, and there was heavy selling
amid some excitement, but all shares
rallied. By 1890 O'Clock the rate for
call money had slipped back to 65 per
cent, and the demand seemed to have
been largely supplied.
While call money was in great de-
mand during the morning, Russell
Sage, it is reported, loaned $6,0OO,OOO
at between 80 and 100 per cent.
The rate for 60 and 90-day loans
was six per cent and commission, the
whole equivalent to nine per cent.
The demand for money started
within Is minutes after the opening
OF business. AS rule nothing is said
in money until after IL O'Clock. But
loan of 100000 was made early at
30 per cent This was regarded as
an effort to keep the rate down. I'm
mediately afterward bids were raised
rapidly at ten per cent. between quo
tations. A request for accommodation
at 40 per cent. brought no Offering.
Then the bid was raised to SO, with
no better results. The next was 60,
at which figure a second loan was
made, one of 100000. No more
money was offered at that rate.
The third loan was made at TO-
Then the demand for money from
brokers, as result of heavy calling
of loans by the banks in order to
make arrangements for the January
l disbursements, became urgent. Most
of them were apprehensive as to
whether they could renew their loans
at all. The call rate again climbed
rapidly to 80, 80 and 125 per cent.
The top rate the previous day was
95 per cent.
Although brokers were compelled
to pay the highest prices in years for
cash with which to carry their stocks,
there was little excitement over the
situation. Many stock exchange
houses provided themselves several
months ago with time loans to carry
them over January l, which is time
when money is always in great de-
mand for dividends, interest and other
year-end settlements. These time
loans are not affected by the call
money market
