LIFE IMSUR-
ANCE WAR
FIGHT is ON FOR CONTROL OF
BIG COMPANIES.
International Policy Holders Commit
tee Making Active Campaign TO
Overthrow Present Officials.
Ballots to Policy Holders.
Ardmoreite Special.

New York, Oct. 1S.-With the mail
ing of the ballots to policy holders
today the fight for the control of the
Mutual and New lork Life insurance
companies Is on i'm earnest The stake
is a tremendous one, involving the
sum of 5000, 100000, the combined as
sets of the two companies. Since the
organization of these colossal concerns
Wall street interests have always con
trolled this vast amount of money, rep
resenting the savings of 100000 pol
icy holders. That the flnanciers will
not surrender their grip on this stu
pendous sum without struggle goes
without saying. Between the ad .iinls-
tration and the International Policy
Holders committee there will be war
to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.
In accordance with the terms of the
recently adopted New York life insur-
ance law, ballots were mailed to the
100000 policy holders throughout the
country today, and all voting must be
finished by December rs. AS soon after
that date as possible the count Of the
votes will be completed and the result
Of the election announced.
From now on the International Pol
icy Holders committee, which was or
ganized for the purpose Of overthrow
ing the present management of the
New York and Mutual Life companies
at a meeting held in New York on
July Q of this year, will carry on an
active campaign OF education. Under
the direction of Manager G.. r. Scrug-
ham of Ohio, every effort will be made
to wrest the control of these compa-
nies from the hands of the wall street
gang, to scourge the money chang
ers out of the temple The personnel
of this committee includes many dis
tinguishod statesmen and men of al
fairs, among them being the Hon Ricn-
ard Olney of Massachusetts, chairman;
Governor ). Frank Hanley of Indiana,
vice chairman; Hon. Alton b. Parker
OF New York, chairman executive COM

Done Much For the Town.

Ardmoreite Special
Wynnewood, l. T., oct 17.-Thc
Commercial Club of this city has rcas.
on to feel proud of what It has accom-.
plished during the past four months.
The organization has nearly completed
the erection of cotton warehouse for
the use of the farmers at a cost OF
$4,000, all paid; have built a telephone
line to Iona and one to Chigley; have
spent fifteen hundred dollars for road
improvements also held two surc ,gs.
ful barbecues and picnics, and through
their efforts have added thrc, good
business enterprises TO the city: and
are still busy on other matters. The
result of this work is seen i'm the cot.
ton receipts. Up to this time three
thousand bales Of cotton have been
received here and the prices paid have
averaged little higher than at any
of the competing points.
The Commercial Club now propose
raising the forty-fye thousand dollar bo
nus for the Oklahoma City, Lexington
& Sulphur Springs Electric railroad
and also will take up the matter OF
raising the one hundred thousand dol
lar endowment fund for Indianola Col
lege which is located here.

The third car, cotton and all, was to-

Schemes to Mislead Refugees from Sar
Francisco Are Frustrated.

Every imaginable scheme has been
resorted TO by denizens Of the "Bad
Ian : district in this city TO lure
unsuspeeting girls from San Francisco
TO disreputable careers since the first
train load Of refugees arrived. But
through the uneeasing watehfulness
and efforts Of the relief committees
and Mrs. Lola Baldwin Of the Travellers
Aid. every scheme has misearried and
the infamous work, at least so far as
appears on the surface, has been
halted
Tie latest plot Of the kind exposed
was the distribution Of cards among
female refugees on incoming trains
bearing the name and address Of the
paris House This scheme was
frustrated yesterday by the arrest Of
the notorious woman known in the ten
derlon district as "Wil6 Irish Rose, -
and it is believed that the authorities
viii make ar example Of her.
The plan was 10 have these cards dis
tributed among the female passengers
on incoming trains, especially among
young women travelling alone, by hab-
itues Of resorts, and thus entire the
ursuspeeting 70 the disorderly district.
Credit for the discovery and frustra-
zion Of this plot in largely due 70
President Lola G. Baldwin Of the Trav-
elers Aid and Y. W. c. A, who un-
derstands the methods Of this class of
criminals. owing 10 her long experience
in the rescue OF girls. and is constantly
on the lookout for evidence Of such
operations She was greatly assisted
in this work. by the police officers, who
are continually on the alert at the de-
pot.
When the relief work was first organ
.zed and before it was reduced to a
system, many ribbon badges were
printed bearing the words "Oregon Re
ief Committee" and these were dis
ributed somewhat indiseriminately.
Ever on the alert some of the rec
light representatives secured some Of
hese badges and boldly appeared at
he union depot, and attempted TO lure
innocent girls 10 their destruction uu-
Ter the mask Of charity. This plot
vas also discovered and defeated.

SHERIFF
CULVER
THERE

In yesterdays Journal, the telegraph
ie report stated that Sheriff Culver was
not at the finish when the outlaw,
Smith. was killed. We are glad to rec
tify the error. Sheriff Culver was pres
ent at the death of the desperate, and
had his revolver within six inches Of
the bandits head, and was at the side
of Harry Draper. who fired the shot
that sent Smith into the beyond. The
reason that the report Of the capture
OF Smith was not confirmed at the sher.
i'll s office here. was that it was an i'm
possibility TO reach Salem by phone
from New Eera, so great was the crowd
Of people at the telephone station
Then another delay was experienced
when the freight train started from
New Era for Woodburn. Before reach.
ing the grade near Aurora a car got off
the track, and delay of two hours

MADE INSANE BY TERROR.
Workman Imprisoned, With Water
Steadily Rising TO Drown Him.

Chicago, May "A dispatch 10 the
Record-Hersld from Milwaukee, Wis.
says:
Imprisoned IN a compartment of the
partially constructed tunnel under the
river, through a break in which water
was pouring, John Slater stood for two
hours Tuesday, watching the water rise
slowly until it threatened 10 engulf
him When at last he was rescued. he
was a maniac, his mind having given
way from fright. His companions saw
ham in his plight, and for long time
were unable 10 help him. Leads from
the freboats were let down into the
tunnel and the engines were worked a,
a furious rate TO pump out the water
while the rescue work went on.
In spite Of everything that could bt
done. the water rose steadily above
Skaters waist to his breast, TO his
armPits and finally TO his neck. Fifteen
minutes Later he would have been
drowned Barely in time to prevent
this, however, the hremen succeeded in
opening a door and took Slater, insane
and benumbed with cold, to a hos
pital
