General Grosvenor belongs to the old
school of politicians. He was born in
1888 and came out of the Rebellion a
brevet brigadier general of volunteers.
He practiced law, but politics has been
his profession for twenty years, and
he soon made wide reputation as one
of the most forceful speakers in the list
of Republican spellbinders. During the
two Mckinley campaigns General Gros-
venor made a hit by predicting Repub
lican success, naming the States the
party would carry and guessing the re-
spective pluralities. These feats won
him the nickname "Old Statistics" In
Congress he is called the ''Sage of Ath-
ens,' as his home is at Athens, 0.
General Grosvenor was elected to
Congress first in 1884 and has served
continuously since then, with the ex-
ception of the Fifty second Congress,
being defeated in 1892 when the Demo-
Gratis swept the country and elected
Grover Cleveland. His long series made
him a power at Washington and with
Speaker Cannon, Payne of New York,
DalzeIl of Pennsylvania and Hepburn
of Iowa he is considered one of the
wheel horses Of the Republican organ
ization General Grosvenor was a dele
gate at large to the national conven-
tons Of 1896 and 1900. He is chairman
of the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries.
Mr.. Douglas, who beat General Gros-
venor, is a lawyer, SO years old, and
good orator. He has dominated the pol
itics of Ross County for years. Mr..
Douglas was a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor of
Ohio in 1899, but was defeated. In
1896 he was a presidential elector on
the Mckinley ticket. Mr.. Douglas is
graduate, of Kenyon College, class of
1872, and of the Harvard Law School.

After a search lasting for four months,
in which the police and the consulates OF
three countries were involved, Count Ed
ward de Meyer, Belgian nobleman, who
took $685., 900 of his wife's estate and
escaped from Paris last November, was
caught near Escanaba, Mich, the other
day. Count de Meyer eloped with 1vonne
Herbeye, a former noted French actress,
and when confronted by his wife he
claimed he had been hypnotized by the
actress, turned over 100000 in currency
and certificates of deposit in the Imperial
bank of Paris for $125,000, and was for
given. The couple met in a lawyers
office in Escanaba and later left for Chi
cago on their way to New York, where
they will sail for Belgium. Countess de
Meyer was accompanied by her brother,
pOlorius Won Hollebeke a member of the
Belgian senate, who demanded that the
count be arrested, but the countess threw
her arms about the neck of her faithless
spouse and refused to allow charges to
be filed against him. Count de Meyer
was traced from New York and located
at Newhall, a small logging station TWEEN
ty miles north of Escanaba. At Sault
Ste. Marie Count de Meyer claims the
actress left him, taking with her $1,000.
When arrested by the sheriff the count
in his trunk was found 100000 in bills
of large denomination and certificates of
deposit on a Paris bank.

ST. Petersburg dispatches say that
through the disappearance of the jour-

and real brains Of the Father Gapon
movement, the disclosure has been
made that the moderate labor organiza-
ton, which Gapon established in st.
Petersburg after the publication of the
imperial ma .ifsto Of Oct. 80, 1905, was
subsidized by the government. Russian
officials supplied the funds for the rent
Of it's clubhouse and literature.
Radical circles are elated over the
revelation, which was made in an open
letter by the president of the Putiloff
section of the organization, complain
ing that $4,000 Of the funds furnished

minister of commerce, had not reached
the treasury. The socialists claim that

1t is now shown that Gapon really
played a minor role in the formidable
movement of January, 1905, and that
Matushensky was the director Of the
campaign which mystified both the po-
lice and the old-time reyolutionists.
Matushensky was the author of the
great petition with which the working
men were marching to the winter pal
ace on Red Sunday, Jan. %, 1905. to
present to the emperor when the troops
fired on them.

REFORMS FOR LIFE INSURANCE.
New York Committee Presents re-
port to Legislature.

Nexv York Committee Presents ne"
port to Legislature.
In merciless and thorough arraign-
ment the insurance investigating commit
fee of the New York Legislature review
ed the situation it has uncovered. Aver
making a number of recommendations for
reform the committee in its long-expect-
ed report summarizes the sensational
testimony it brought out and showed now
matters could be remedied
Absolute prohibition of campaign con-
tributions, strict regulation of all life IN
surance investments, limitation of new
business and the participation OF every
policy holder in the election of company
oficers-these are few of the proposed
cures.
Lobbying is denounced as perniclous
and needless in plain terms, and the Leg
islature is told that it owes it to itself
to stop the practice. As to campaign
contributions, the report says:
1.-THE frank admission that moneys
have been obtained for use in State cam
paigns in the expectation that Candidates
thus aided would support the interests OF
the companies has exposed both those
who solicited the contributions and those
who made them to severe and just con-
demnation. The committee recommends
the passage of an unequivocal and dras-
tic measure to remedy this evil"
Matters demanding the consideration OF
the Legislature for the purpose of rem
edying existing evils and of establishing
more securely the business of life lnsur-
ance in this State are grouped under the
following heads:
1. Organization of life insurance cor
porations.
