SUITS TO RECOVER
Funds Made for Campaign Purposes
Recommended by inveIstigat-
ing Committee.

New York, Feb. 14.-The Fowler
investigating committee of the New
York Life Insurance company, in a
supplementary REPORT made today, rec
ommends that suits be begun to re-
cover from the officers and trustees of
the company who authorized campaign
contributions from the funds of the
company, the amounts so contributed
The committee finds that in 1896,
$4,000 was contributed; in 1900, $780,
600 and in 1904, $14,702, These sums
were contributed "at the direction of
President Mccall and certain trus
tees"
ut followed" the report says, "that
these contributions were not legally
just, and that such means as are avail
able should be taken for the recovery
of them. And your company emphat-
ically approves the resolution unani.
mously adopted by the board prohibit
ing hereafter any contributions for po-
litical purposes. Your committee al
so recommends that special counsel
be retained to take what steps may be
necessary to recover from the officers
and trustees of the company, as in
their Judgment are liable therefor, the
moneys previously contributed"

OVERRULED
MOTION TO SET ASIDE SERVICE
OF SUMMONS
In a Case at Lisbon in Which the
Canton Pump Company Is
Involved.

Lisbon, Feb. IA motion to set
aside the service of summons in the
case of McKeefrey & Co., of Leetonia,
VS.. the Canton Pump Co., of Canton,
was overruled by Judge Hole and the
defendant has leave to plead by March
Sd.
The motion evidently grew out of
a misapprehension on the part of H.
II. whiting, a partner in the defend
ant company, who was served with
summons in Salem last March as he
was passing through the city on the
train. 1t was alleged in the motion
that the summons was invalid be-
cause it had been served outside the
county.
1t was evident from the questioning
of witnesses by the defendants at
tOrney that his client thought he had
been served at Sebring instead of Sa-
lem. Chief Tuner of the Salem po-
lice force was on the stand however,
and said that as Sheriff Johnsons
deputy there he had served the sum-
mons on Mr. Whiting when Whit
ing was a passenger on the east bound
Cleveland flyer, the officer having
boarded the train when it stopped.
George LinthiCum, a reporter for the
Daily Herald in Salem, was also on
the stand, having seen Officer Turner
get on and off the train and having
been talking with him about the
case.

CASE SETTLED
involving the Alleged Alienation Of
Wife's Affections.

Minerva, o., Feb. 14.-Joseph S.
Falcon, of Hanoverton, village near
here, who was sued by Kenneth Coy
for the sum of $4,000 for the aliena-
ton of his wife's affections, has set
tied by the payment by Falcon to
Coy the sum of $3.50.
The case attracted much attention
in this neighborhood owing to the
fact that Falcon, who is a wealthy
and influential farmer, had hereto
fore been known as a woman hater by
his many friends.
Since instituting his suit against
Falcon, Coy has been made defend
ant in divorce proceedings broueht
by his wife. The final outcome 81
the case will be eagerly watched.
