Fight for Control of Big Com
panies Will Likely End in
Supreme Court.
THE OUTLOOK LAST NIGHT
SEEMED THAT BOTH THE .MU-
TUAL AND NEW YORK LIFE AD-
MINIsTRATloN TICKETS WILL
BE SUCCESSFUL.
PUBLISHERS. Press.1

New York, Dec. 17.-At four o.
clock Tuesday afternoon the contest
for control of the Mutual and New
York Life Insurance Companies will
have ended and immediately Their
after five representatives of each
company, named by State Superin-
tendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey. Jr.,
will begin the tabulation of the votes
that have been cast for members
of the new board of trustees. Both
sides will have watchers present, and
there is every reason to believe to-
night that not only will the result OF
of the election be protested but that
the higheHt courts IA the United
States will be asked to pass upon the
legality of the result when finally
announced by the inspectors.
careful canvas of both camps at
late hour tonight indicates that the
policy holders tickets are beaten.
Judging from the indications at pres
ent, the New York Life Administra-
ton ticket will have very nearly one
hundred thousand majority out of the
total vote cast and the present adj
ministratioB In the Mutual Life will
be successful by between 10000 and
10000. Although the officials of the
two corporations say that the vote
will not be more than sixty per cent
of the total poiicyholdFa Judging
from all eighty per cent of the policy
holders have voted either yes or no
for the administration tickets.
In addition to the New York and
Mutual Life elections, there Will take
place tomorrow, the election of trus-
tees of the Equitable, the Mutual Re-
serve and the Security Mutual. In all
of those however, the present boards
will be reelected, as there is no SER
ious opposition.

Boarding House Land

THERE is always a star and a lady
with curls
! And a GROWER who Erowls at the
pie:
There is always tough and a bloke and
I1ugh
And girl with a squirt In her eye.
In the Land of the Prune. that is theme
of my tune.
The boarding house land everywhere.
Where the prune is the prince and the
hash is the pride
OF the landlady dominant there.
Some swear as II Prune Land were vile
and accursed:
Some cast it aside with a slur:
Some enter its vast, hidden voids with
smile
And face it without demur.
Tho youth who has broken the old ties at
home
And sought the far cities to win,
The maiden who typewrites the middle
aged clerk,
BY Prune Land are soon gobbled in.
To Prune Land they CO. and from Prune
Land they come.
But ever in Prune Land there stays
The lady with curls and the gent who de-
fers
To the mistress and finds that it pays
Sanctirnonious and tickle. erudite and un-
learned.
Sweet sixteen. the baldheads, the gray,
The star who makes good and the
tough bloke who kicks
They are anchored in Prune Land for
aye.
Prune breakfasts prune dinners. prune
suppers complete,
Is the round of the diet of prune.
Unaltered. unchanged by the cruel hand
of time
Or the dry or the wet of the moon.
Prune desserts prune solids. prune dreams
through the night.
Prune people to talk with and sing:
In Prune Land the prune lasts the whole
winter long
And begins a fresh reign In the spring.
