RUSH OF INSURANCE BALLOTS.
Po~icyholders' Committee to Keep Open
Onnces on sunday.

P~oicyhoIders' Committee to Keep Open
On1ces on sunday.
The International Policyholders' Com
mittee will keep its Offices at 30 Broad street
open to-day to receive marked ballots to
be voted in the New York and Mutual life
elections. Representatives OF the commit,
tee announced yesterday that votes were
coming in In such NUMBER that 1t would be
impracticable to close tho Offices on Sun
day. Special arrangements have been made
with the post Office officials TO get the bal
lots that have been mailed and a big force
Of clerks will be kept busy to-day and to-
morrow completing q record Of the thou
sands Of votes that have been deposited
with the committee.
These votes have been stored away in
the vaults of the Standard Trust Company
and will be delivered in wagons at the Offices
of the Mutual and New York life COM
panies on Tuesday morning, the closing day
Of the balloting period. The votes will be
turned over to Superintendent of Insurance
Kelsey and his inspectors.
1t is expected now that big crow ds will
turn out at the offices of both companies
on election day, and it is possible that the
Superintendent OF Insurance may have to
call on the Police Department TO make some
arrangement TO handle the rush. There are
many POlACy AlO1hCIb AL inns City II hdFo
refused to send their ballots through the
mail or to give proxies, but who have ex-
pressed their intention OF attending the cleo
ton personally.
George w. Scrugham, manager Of the
International committee, in a statement
handed out yesterday, limited hat there
would be an effort to confuse polcyholders
who attended the election in person. He
asserted thai the New York Life had brought
on "a horde Of agents to this city and had
established headquarters for them at the
Hotel Manhattan.
This committee says ~Scrugham, has
from the beginning advised ~policyholders
to make nc attempt TO vote in person, but to
mail their ballots direct and thus avoid the
delay and confusion that now seem in
evitable."
The balloting from Mutual Life policy
holders reported to the Superintendent Of
Insurance thus far exceeded yesterday that
from the New York Life contract holders for
the first time since the polls opened. About
ls9, 600 Mutual Life policyholders, it was said,
have sent their ballots to the home Office
as compared with 1855 900 New York Life
poicyholders.

SUPERVISOR CHANLER STILL.
Jleutenant-Govern0r-Elect lock- Poll
ticIans by Attending to His Duties.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Dec. 15.-It remained
for the Lieutenant-G overuor-elect, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, to establish in Dutchess
county the notion that public Office is a
public trust. This idea has been dead and
buried so long that the resurrection of its
remains produced a distinct and almost
painful shock. II was like Rip Var Wrinkle
coming bach to his old home after his long
Sleep, and the taxpayers are still studying
Rip TO make sure of his identity before
turning any handsprings.
When Mr.. Chanler was elevated to the
second position of honor and responsibility
IN the State he wa still holding the Office
If Supervisor from the't town of Red Hook.
to which he was elected two years ago. 1t
was not unnaturally assumed by his fellow
citizens that with his promotion to a larger
field Of political usefulness he would find
little to attract hmm in the restricted position
Of representative Of p country town N a
board Of farmers. euerossed in small and
trifiing affairs.
All notions OF this kind were shattered,
when on the first day of the session OF the
board Of supervisors, Mr.. Chamber hired a
special train to carry him from New York
70 his home at Rokeby, TO give him time TO
get his papers and be present ready TO do
his share OF the business to be transacted.
Since then Mr.. Chanler has beer in his seat

The Board Of Supervisors is Republican

In viewing matters o. county business as

Of conserving the interests OF the taxpayers
have helped 10 break down party lines. In
several instances Chairman Cutler, the pre-

ran, has appointed Democrats In control Of
Important committees. Strange to say, the
business Of the board has gone along
smoothly and expeditiously n there Is a
mutual feeling hat an exchange OF views
and experiences is helpful when there is
, no political pickering or sharp practice In

$500 IN JEWELRY STOLEN.
Comm Family Heard Sounds. but Concluded
They Were Caused by the Cold.

Sergt. James Hopkins, acting inspector
Of the Jersey City police department, was
called to headquarters early yesterday
morning to help find out what became of the
burglars who stole 81 500 worth OF jewelry
from the residence of Mrs. William w.
Coffin, 80 Glenwood venue, on Friday
night. Mrs. Coffin and her daughters dis
covered their loss at bedtime. They noti-
fed the police. and Capt. Cody and his men
of the Montgomery street station found the
imprints OF a ladder on the ground under a
bedroom window. Finger prints " ere also
noticed on the window sill inside the roo IN.
Mrs. Coffin and her daughters, Misses
Grace and Nellie, and Mrs. William M.
Clements recalled that while they were at
dinner, shortly before 7 G O'Clock, they heard
a noise on the second floor which sounded to
them like the cracking OF wall paper. They
paid no attention to the sounds, as similar
noises had been heard on several occasions
after the cold weather set in. While the
family was in the dining room the telephone
bell rang and Mrs. Clements, who had been
expecting a message from her husband in
Newark, went upstairs TO a room adjoining
the bedroom from which the jewels were
taken TO answer the call. She heard no
unusual noises on the second floor and she
saws she never once thought of burglars.
The police are of tn opinion that the
thief kept very quiet while Mrs. Clements
was talking or else he was alarmed by the
ringing or.the telephone bell and escaped
down the ladder with the jewels before
she reached the top Of the stairs. The
! clicking sounds which reached the woman
ears. the police say, may have been made
by the closing OF Mrs. Collins and Miss
Nellie Cofin's jewelry cases, which were
carried away with their contents.
The police believe the burglary was the
work Of second story men A ladder was
found early in the evening leaning against
the residence OF William G. Bumsted. at
4s Glenwood avenue. A negro employed
by Mr.. Bumsted saw another negro running
through the yard from the direction OF the
ladder and gave the alarm. The man got
away. The police are of the opinion that
the man who placed the ladder against
Mr.. Bumsted's house is one OF hi thieves
who made the haul Of jewelry at Mrs
Collins home.

MINI EAPoLIs, Dec. l5--It is said that the
statement Of James ]. Hill in Chicago on
