NEW MORTALITY TABLES
METRoP oLITAN LIFE TABULATEs
,..%: SOME OF ITS OWN Elk l.,
PERIENCE.

President Hegeman Of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company Has Just
Issued a; Paper Conveying Important
Information to the Public. s--ss
:@It appears that. the Metropolitan Life
has for some time been engaged in the
preparation Of new mortality tables:
based upon it's own experience. By conn
parison. Of given periods in recent years
with corresponding periods in former
years, back to 1890, the fact is estab-
!ished that among the company's pol
icyholders there has been sufficient i'm
provement in mortality Chat is, a
smaller average Of deaths at various
ages) to warrant certain changes af-
fecting future premiums and benefits,
sured in the company. With character
istic thoroness and frankness these re-
suits and changes are specified in min
ute detail, not put forth as "esti-
mates - or vague promises.
Their significance to the insuring
public is a reduction in the price Of
! insurance in the industrial department.,
and thru readjustment of rates Of
commissions to agents, a reduction of
premiums charged in the ordinary de.
partment. 80 8
Concerning the policies to be issued
in 1907 this information is given: 49,.
Our new policies will be found most
ATTRACTIVE in form and even more at
tractive in substance. They contain all
OF the advantages and concessions
which we can afford to give and which
the public have the right to expect.
The surrender vallies will be found to
be generous and take the optional forms
OF extended insurance, paid-up insur-
| ance and cash. They are the standard
forms Of the New York department,
the work of experts which has legis-
lative approval. They are as plain to
the understanding as can be made. We
nave discontinued many plans as un-
necessary. We shall issue ordinary life.
limited payment, endowment and term
plans, and we have applied for per-
mission and hope to issue in addition
three plans which the public have
stamped with their overwhelmingly.
the optional life or. endowment, under
a new name, the modified endowment
with life option; the guaranteed diyi-
dend, also under new and more de-
scrlptive name, the guaranteed in
creased endowment, and the reduced
premium life under it's new name. life
with reduced premium after twenty
years. -
One noteworthy passage relates to
the company's liberal policy Of dis
tributing dividends and benefits not
contemplated in its contracts with the
pollcyhol ders. President Hegeman asks
ms agents to note that ''This year the
company has been disbnrsing the enor,
nous sum of about two millions of
dollars in voluntary dividends mon
non-participating industrial policies.
bringing r cling the total amount Of ,llnprom,,
ised dividends in twelve years to about
ten millions of dollars to j indnstriaI
policyholders in the form Of dividends
on premiums, dividends on death claims

| Gratis, resenting the attempt to foist
upon the party Judge Martin J. Wade
the choice Of the state central commit
tee to succeed Charles Walsh, propose tc
| emphasize their disapproval of the Sc
lection of Wade in a manner that may
drive out of the party the so-called con
sentative democrats.
Mr.. Marsh has long been suspected
of disloyalty to Bryan, and as Judge
Wade is thought to be tarred with the
same stick democrats of Waterloo have
arranged for banquet on Jackson day
Jan. 8, at which the opponents of Marsh
and Wade have scheduled several toasts
by prominent Bryan followers that give
promise of creating rupture in the
party in Iowa.
Marsh and His Fund.
1t is charged by the Bryan wing of
the party that the huge campaign fund
procured from the railroads. AS the
story goes Mr.. Marsh, who reserved the
right to disburse $4,000 or $50, 1000 col
lected from some mysterious source, is
suspected of having obtained the money
from j. W. Blythe, general counsel fol
the Burlington railroad company, thru
Roger Sullivan, democratic national
committeeman from Illinois Recent
disclosures have convinced many Iowa
democrats that while Mr.. Marsh AMI
his crowd were publicly supporting
BRYAN secretly they were inserting a
knife beneath his fifth rib.
While there is nothing definite upon
which to predicate positive statement,
yet there are not wanting incidentA
pregnant with significance that Marsh
had been working hand in glove with
Roger Sullivan to- pack the national
committee against Bryan. 1t is said
that both before and after Bryan
scored Sullivan in his Chicago address
shortly following his return from abroad
Marsh, J. T. Sullivan and Chairman
Charles Miller, the latter of the state
central committee, connived with
Roger Sullivan to procure the nomina
ton of Hearst for governor of New
York in the hone that should Hearst be
elected, he would overshadow Bryan
and eliminate him as presidential pos
sibility by taking New York out Of the
Bryan column. It is pointed out that
twice in the recent campaign Marsh and
Miller iourneyed to French Lick
Springs, Ind, to hobnob with Tom
Taggart and Roger Sullivan.

Cleveland, Dec. 24.-Farmers living

threatening suit against the village off
cials for polluting the stream with
beer. Scores of cattle, it is alleged
have been intoxicated by drinking
from the river, and in some instances
debauch has resulted in tainted milk.
The trouble is attributed indirectly
to the enforcement of the prohibition
law. A man was arrested in Chagrin
Falls while driving into the city with
9 load Of beer. More than 600 bottles
of the beverage were seized.
Officers Of the law brought forth the
contscated beer and tried to DESTROY
it. In order to do so as secretly as
possible it was thrown into the Cha
grin: - r.
