POLlCYHOLDERS' CASEIS
 UP BEFORE ALBANY JUDGE

Albany, N. r.. July 2S.-The fight of the international policy committee to compel the Mutual Life Insurance com pany to drop the names of Judge Gray, Colonel Shook, General Tracy and liar low N. Higginbotham, members of that committee, from the administration ticket, for trustees of the Mutual company came before Supreme Court Justice Howard to- day. The proceedings were in the form of an application for an order requiring Su- perintendent Kelsey of the state insur- ance department to strike the four names from the list of nominations filed with him. After some argument the papers were amended so as to include the Mu- tual company with Superintendent Kelsey in the case as a respondent.
 Samuel Untermyer, general counsel for the policyholders' committee, filed brief, and MT. Aeker. general solicitor of the Mutual, was given until Monday to do so. Justice Howard said the only ques- ton for the court to decide was whether the proper proceedings had been adoptfd to have the names removed. He intl- mated, however that there was no law under which man could be compelled 10 serve as a trustee against his will.
 "The whole purpose of the legislation of 1906 will be defeated" said MT. Unter- myer in his argument, If those In control

INTEREST IN WILLIAMS
 CASE OVER WHOLE STATE

Weaver has attracted the most intense at tention in this section of the state The office of the governor has been besieged with telegrams and telephone inquiries and every man met on the streets has question to ask about it. There is deep current of criticism for the Birmingham judge, on the ground that he went far be- yond his rights. One man said; Now any justice of the peace can stop an eN- ecution after all the laws of the state and the governor says it must go on. l think the governor has better ask Weaver to get out"
 A well-known state official was disposed to oriticise the laweyrs on the ground that they had gone too far. The position was taken that when they had made the brilliant fight they did make through all the courts to the feet of the governor, they had done everything that could be expected; farther than that they became defyers of the law, it was claimed. On the other hand many openly expressed the hope that delay might be secured with the hope that Williams might in the end be freed. These had nothing but words of commendation for the attorneys on their great fight.

of the insurance companies, and particu- larly of the Mutual Life Insurance com pany shall be permitted to obstruct the free and intelligent exercise by qualified voters of the right of suffrage conferred upon them. In exercising that right they are entitled to the cooperation of the defendant in enforcing upon the company the performance of all it's statutory duties regarding nominations and elections. The superintendent of insurance specifically Is given the supervision of the election and is required to approve the form of ballot. These are in every respect public duties and properly subject to enforcement by the courts
 'The dishonest purpose that animated the trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance company in making these unauthorized nominations is clear. They have taken leaf out of the hook of disreputable poli- ticians. The nomination of few re- formers in conjunction with tried and truse henehmen of the political machines, is a favorite resort of political bosses driven to desperation"
 "The only question that seems to be involved here" said Justice Howard, 'is whether you can place a man on ticket against his will"
 Men are nominated every day in the week without their knowledge" replied Mir McKeen, land it is generally consid- cred a high compliment Our company has not received any official notice of the declination of the men named in thls proceeding

and one trembling asked what was the matter.
 ''She is a ghost ship as sure as gum, I cried, I can see right through the main sail. There is no ship there-none.
 'The crew of our smack lay prostrated on the deck, and for some minutes never a one of them moved-scarcely breatet Presently a boy who seemed less ter, riied than the rest, raised his head and looked over the rail Oh, get up, get up. all of you, he shouted; she Is gone, she went very quietly too.
 Lost Little Time Getting Away.
 .'Up scrambled our crew and little time was lost in making sail and getting away from the cove at Galangos islands where we had spent the night, with such an eventful morning. We set sail for Guay- aquil Ecuador and when the men told the story of our trip to Galapagos is lands, and the sights we had seen there, what they told only added additional proof to the stories that others had told of the islands before, in Guayaqahl
 ''I don't believe in ghosts and the like' said Captain Lever, "but this story which have related to you, although remark ably strange, is as true as we are sitting here tonight among the palms at the Bienville.
 How do I account for it? Well I will leave that for someone else to explain. It may have been mirage, don't know, but nevertheless the story that I have told you is a true one, and if you will come with me some time on trip to the Galapagos islands you may take a look at the strange spectre for yourself"
 Captain Lever sat silently for while, with a far away look in his keen gray eyes, and at last arose, said good night and went to his room.

Government Will Not Reconvoke Par
 Iiament of Its Own Accord.

St. Petersburg, July 2S.-Professor Kovalevslxy. who returned today from London, where he had attended the sessions of the Inter-Parlamentary union. says:
 "The dissolution of Parliament was the cause for rejoicing in extreme rev olutionary circles, which boycotted Parliament as the only means to block the road to republicanism and weaken the position of the moderate and con stitutional parties. The present wide persecution of the press will again tend to bring forth arguments in favor of bomb throwing as the only means of carrying on the fight. The govern ment is not likely to reconvol1e Parli- ament of it's own accord. Those op- posed to the adoption of revolutionary means and yet not in favor of the re- action will be obliged to leave the po- litical arena for a long time to come"
