Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2.-State Insurance
Commissioner Prewitt has rendered de-
cison in the investigation recently con-
Quoted by him. which is severe blow
TO the Peabody administration Of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company.
Charges were filed with the Kentucky
insurance department by Biscoe Hindman.
until recently state manager OF the Mu-
tual Life, that the agents we're being CO.
creed by President Peabody into solicit
ing votes for the administration" ticket
I'm the pending election and that the
money OF the polieyholders was being
spent i'm campaign work for the election
OF President Peabody and his associate
trustees.
Mr. Hindman was recently dismissed
from the service OF the company with
four other managing agents by President
Peabody because OF their refusal to work
for votes for the administration ticket.
Commissioner Prewitt summoned Presi-
dent Peabody to Frankfort and examined
him at great length I'm regard TO the dis
missal of the agents and the use OF policy
holders money for electioneering pur-
poses. In his decision. copy Of which
has been sent TO President Peabody, Com
missioner Prewitt finds that the FIVE
managing agents were unJustly discharg-
ed, directs that they be restored TO their
former positions and fixes a time limit for
the restoration OF the discharged men. In
event OF the failure OF the Peabody ad-
ministration to obey, the license OF the
Mutual Life 10 do business in the state
or Kentucky will be revoked
The four discharged men, besides Mr.
Hindman, are T.. Reid Fell and Herbert
Fell OF New York r. o. Sutton OF Spring
field, Mass. and Frederick o. Paige Of
Detroit T. Reid Fell. Paige and Hind
man were nominated for trustees by the
agents OF the company who revolted
against the denomination OF the McCurdy
old guard. The FIVE men told President
Peabody that they could not conscien-
tiously ask policy holders to vote for the
administration ticket, as they regarded
the denomination OF the McCurdy trus-
tees as a fatal blunder. AS policy hold
ers themselves they told Mr.. Peabody
they were entitled to exercise their own
judgment as TO what was best for the
company in the matter Of electing new
trustees. All were dropped from service.
though they were among the company's
most valued agents.
II Is said that I'm the stand he has
taken Commissioner Prewitt has the sup
port Of Insurance commiss toner's of other
states. who may soon serve similar no.
tice upon the Mutual Life.

New York. Nov. 2-Facts were
made public yesterday as to the
elopement last summer with a young
Englishman OF Mrs. Hawley Thrall

She is an unusually attractive woman.
In the summer she went to Orange

members of her husbands family she
eloped TO London. When Hawley

ment of my daughters conduct sad
Hawley Webster's mother. '1t is true
she has gone TO London with a young
Englshman. He was ne-lookins; in

as was my son. II surely must be n

that she refused to return when my
son saw her in London hotel, but
IL is all a sad mistake"

COLOREO VOTERS !:
SAY % To THE
BOSS MACHINE

That there is not unanmity among the
colofed Republican voters OF the state
in the interest OF the Brayton machine
candidates IN shown clearly by the action
OF the Douglass Republican club OF this
city, perhaps the largest organization OK
the kind In the state.
This club, which was organized by Jo-
seph w. Henderson two years ago. and
supported Roosevelt. has declined TO ar.
organization; and leading members de-
clare that they will vote for Utter only
because he has repudiated Braytonlsm,
and then go home. leaving the balance
OF the ticket TO take care OF itself.
IL developed today that efforts have
been made TO influence members OF the
club by the offer OF money and place. but
the leaders, or most OF them, have de-
clared that there is nothing doing"
Speaking for the club members. Arthur
b. Williams, one Of the leaders, said
this afternoon: They may vote for Ut
ter, but hardly for tho rest OF the ticket
l am going 10 vote split ticket myself,
and know OF others who lack the cour-
age to vote for any Democratic candi-
dates, but who will refuse TO vote for
any other Republican candidates.
II know that one element among my
people I'm the First ward intends TO vote
the whole Democratic ticket. No man in
the club, officer or private. has any power
it cannot be done In this campaign"
There are fully 800 negro voters IN
Providence and more than 1900 in the
state, practically all OF whom have voted
the Republican ticket In national or con-
gressional elections. Their detection at
this time is regarded as serious blow 10
the Republicans.

cedsd by all Republicans who are at all
