The vacancy in the presidency Of
Iowa college at Gr.nhell, caused by
the resignation Of Dr. Dan F. Bradley,
has been filled by the election of J. H.
t. Main to that position. There was
little doubt among those acquainted
with the sI,uation but that the trus-
tees would take this action. Dean
Main came % Grinnell in 1892 as pro-
fessor of Greek. He is a graduate
of Moore's Hill college, Indiana, in
the class Of 1880, and received his
masters regree from the same insti-
tuition 1888. He obtained his do:-
tors degree at Johns Hopkins in 1892
From 1901 to 1903 he was acting
president of Iowa college, and since
that time has served as dean. Mr..
main has proven himself equally
strong as an educator and as an ad-
ministrator. The position just tend
cred him comes as a fitting reward
for his untiring service with the col
lege.

trict court of Polk county has granted
an Injunction restraining the Ma
tional Life Insurance company of Chi.
cago from taking over any of the pol
icies or contracts of the National Life
and 4rust company, which was form
erly a Des Moines concern. The
injunction was granted at the in
stance Of Attorney j. A. Dyer and
Attorney w. II. Atwood of Galesburg,
ILL.,, who are also asking the appoint
ment OF a receiver. The aggrieved
person is DR.. A. l.. Watson of Gales
burg, who holds policy for $1,000
/. tie Des Moines company and now
wants his money back. The petition
is based on the claim that the sale
and transfer Of the National Life
and Trust company policies to the
National Life Is prejudicial to the
interests of the petitioner. He al
leges that the policies are being
transferred to the purchasing COM
pany on cash value basis, depriv-
ing the policy holder of his endow-
ment interest therein and thereby
causing him loss on his original in
vestment. For this reason it is de-
manded that the transfer be enjoined
and that a receiver be named for the
National Life and Trust company to
distribute its assets properly among
the policy holders. But more i'm.
portant from legal standpoint is the
petitions attack upon the custom Of
the National Life and Trust company
in treating the first years premium
as a payment of term insurance for a
year, and not making any reserve de-
post therefrom with the state auditor

section 1774 of the Iowa code and
that the company should be required

thus withheld from the first years
premium Of all it's policies. The
amount involved in this connection
is stated by Attorney Dyer to be at
least 100000.
