MR.. M'CABE 0USTED
BY THE COMMITTEE
The Policy Holders Unanimous In
Retiring the Bishop.
ADDRESS SENT HIM IN TIME
His Protest, the Internationals Declare,
Shows Lack of Sympathy With the
Movement and Amounts TO Surren-
der of Membership Warns Policy
Holders.

New York, (SpeciaD The inter
national policy holders committee, at
meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
ousted Bishop Charles c. McCabe, OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
from membership on the committee.
This was the committees answer to
the bishops letter, made public
through the management of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, as
serting that he had not authorized the
use of his name in a committee ad-
dress, and urging that the interna-
tional organization indorse the ad-
miristration ticket of the two mutual
companies.
Eighteen of twenty-five members
of the committee were present at the
with the bishops services was unan-
imous Bishop McCabe's attitude,
the committee held, was so complete
ly out of sympathy with the announc-
ed purpose of the organization that
IL amounted in effect to a surrender
of his membership. The bishop was
not present at the meteing.
The resolutions adopted stated that
copies of the proposed address were
furnished to Bishop McCabe before
the meeting at which the address, as
adopted, was mailed at least three
weeks before the address was dis
tributed, and no objection or criti-
cism was made by him as to the form
of the address for four weeks after
its distribution, nor until the letter
of August 27.
The chairman is authorized to pre-
pare an answer to the bishops let
ter.
The international committee at the
meeting also selected the men whom
it will present on the policy holders
tickets for trustees of the Mutual
and New York Life. In selecting
the former ticket the international or
ganization cooperated with the Nut
ual Life Policy Holders Association
The tickets will not be made public
until September is, the date on which
they must be filed in Albany.
A subject discussed was the action
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany in nominating Judge George
Gray, Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, Col
Alfred NJ. Shook, and Harlow n
Higginbotham, members of the in
ternational policy holders committee,
as trustees, against their wishes The
following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the placing of the
names of the four members of this
committee on the administration
ticket of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, without the consent and
against the protest of those whose
names were thus used, tends to de-
ceive the policy holders who are
called upon TO vote, and deserves
the reprobation of fair-minded men.
