Honor the Mayor" at Wallaok's, that went
on strike on Monday night, announced
last night that the five -eighths were going

Fred Z. Whitney, the first owner OF the
Eng lish pony ballet, and that the ensuing
tran sfer Of their management to Aafons
r enders their original contract null and

new an d adulterated pony ballet which he
has just imported from England. They
will bring action against him for this. too. !,
And II that don't suffice there is Bertram
Levin, the present thea trical partner Of
Aarons, who used to be in the cigarette
b, siness, and who has been using their faces
to make cigarette pictures worth collecting.
The original ave-elghths will sue Levin, tooS
says their lawyer. :

ABANDONS ACTIONS AGAINST
Commissioners HOST.
PRE-C0NVENTI0N REMNAN T
Processes Instituted When State
Campaign Waxed Hot Are Given
Up, but Libel Suits by Commits
sioner Against Antagonistic News
papers Remain to Be Tried.

Milwaukee, Feb. 13.-Suits started
of Newark, N. j., against State Insur
ance Commissioner Host just before
the republican state convention in
May, 1904, have been withdrawn by
the company. StipulatiOns have been
submitted by attorneys representing
the company. dismissing both actions
in the federal and superior courts.
The federal suit was an action re
straining Commissioner Host from in
terfering with the business of the
company in Wisconsin. A temporary
injunction was granted. Commits
sioner Host had refused to renew the
license of the company because he
claimed to have found that almost
$10,0O0,00O of the company's surplus
was deposited with a single trust
company. This, he claimed, was
about one-seventh of the entire as
sets of the company. Under the
temporary injunction the company
continued to do business, although it
did not have a license. In March,
1905, however, they filed statement
with the commissioner, avowing that
only $3,500,000 was invested with the
trust company at that time; under
that showing the insurance commits
sioner granted the license for 1905.
The action in the superior court
was to recover $21, 900 from Commits
sioper Host. This amount represent
ed the fees for the examination of
the company, which lasted several
months and in which "A men were en-
gagged. The insurance commission
ers office was condemned by many
people for this charge against the
company and several newspapers in
turn were sued for libel by Commits
sioner Host. These libel suits are
still pending.

Ira Cooper, proprietor of lodging

That the loss of life was not much
greater was due to the work of the
