: New York, June ,25.-From now on
until next December one. Of the most
extraordinary campaigns in the history
the 100000 policyholders Of the Mu-
tual and New York Life Insurance COM
panies on the one side and the strong
est possible group of Wall street inter
ests on the other. For several weeks
both sides have been preparing a cam
paign. The stake is Of monumental i'm
portance, as it involves control Of both
the Mutual and New York Life COM
panies, whose combined assets amount
to the huge sum Of $900,000,000.
The policyholders of the two COM
and the principal European countries
have been quietly organizing during
the past six weeks by representatives
Of the international policyholders COM
mittee, and 1t is expected a majority
Of the policyholders of each company
will vote at the annual election on Dec.
IS to turn out the J. P. Morgan man
agement, which now controls the New
York Life, and the Standard Oil man
agementt, which Is in control Of the Mu'
tual Life.
One Of the most. notable members Of
the committee is Cardinal Gibbons, pri
mate Of the Roman Catholic church in
America. 2 The fact that Cardinal Glib
bons Joined the committee is regarded
in itself as the strongest possible cyl
dence Of. the Importance he attaches to
! the matter at issue-the, safety Of the
savings of the 100 900 poGcyholders.
An equally notable member is Rev
DR.. Russell II. Conwell, who is probably
the leading Baptist clergyman OF tht
| United States, He is the founder OF
tho Baptist Temple and Temple college
Of Philadelphia.

IRELAND STILL In
LINE FOR RED HAT
Farley's Prospective Elevation
Doesn't Necessarily Mean st.
Paul Prelate Must Wait. i

Rome, June 25.-A sensation was
caused here few days ago when Car
dinal Satolli, formerly apostolic dele
gate in the United States, announced
that the archbishop of New York, Mgr.
Farley, was destined to higher honors.
The cardinal was presenting Mgr. Far
ley at the time to the canons of his
church, where the New York arch
bishop had assisted at the service. His
expression is understood to mean that
the pope has directly instructed him
to make the formal announcement Of
the promotion Of Mgr. Farley to seat
in the sacred college, as there is no
other additional honor that can be con-
ferred on him.
! He already is an archbishop and at
the head of one Of the largest dioceses
Of the world. He has been named as
sistant to the pontifical throne, which
gives him precedence over all other
archbishops. Especial significance is
here attached to the announcement of
Cardinal Satolli, as the cardinal enjoys
cles.
It is believed here that the report
that the American archbishop has given
to the pope as to the condition of the
church in his archdiocese has caused
Plus K to put aside all other claimants
for a place in the sacred college from
the American hierarchy and to settle
his choice Oh the New York prelate.
At the same time the friends. Of
Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul are
here maintaining that the hint of Car
dinal Satolli Of the pending promotion
Of the archbishop of New York was
but diplomatic maneuver to Offset tho
impression left in Rome by the recent
visit of the western prelate.
It is not impossible that Piux z
will tire of the controversy and that
when the archbishop of New York re-
ceives the red hat he may not be alone
in receiving the great honor, as Arch
bishop Farley's friends and influences
at the vatican are not more potent
than those of Archbishop Ireland

Judge Wickersham has had four re-

him as one Of the very ablest and best
Judges in every way ever sent to Alas

the charges against him have been laid
anlined, and In their opinion amount to
absolutely nothing. Senator Nelson of
minnesota, a member of the senate ju-
1iciary committee, is one of Judge
ssWickersham bitterest enemies, and is
responsible for the repeated failures
of the senate to confirm the appoint
ment. In this, session he has been
joined by Senator McCumber of North

done by an experienced burglar, but by
some one who was we'll acquainted with
the workings Of the clerks office and
the building. ..->.,>..,.
Two days before the robbery, s. Cox,
superintendent Of the building, was
asked by Mr.. Lydiard to have the iron
shutters in the basement Of the vault
repaired, as they never locked properly.
They were repaired, but for some rea-
son the work was not properly done
and they were left in such; a condition
that they could be opened from the out
side. Some one, it is thought, saw the
work being done, and knowing that
the. shutters were still insecure, seized
the opportunity to try his hand at bur
glary. Nothing in the vault, except the
drawers where the valuable were usu-
ally kept, was disturbed, and this fact
points to some one who was familiar
with the building.
He Was All Alone. !.
The. thief had things to. himsef, for
neither Saturday nor Sunday night was
there the slightest suspicion that any
on duty in the building as usual, and
Carl Engstrom, operator in the fire de.
partment, was working in the. room adj
Joining the vault. He heard no sound,
either night, and the shutters must have
worked without noise. The watchmen
on duty in the. building made their
usual rounds, but noticed nothing
wrong, and as the police were on the
opposite side of the building, they had
no opportunity of hearing or seeing the
man while at work IL T.. s', 49, :
The job must have been done long
after midnight Saturday, or possibly
Sunday night, for the streets were not
quiet until after midnight. ."
Police Superintendent Doyle and the
detectives admit that someone is sus
pected. The robber must have slipped
in and out when he knew that he
was perfectly secure. He left no tracks
at the window, or if he did they were
soon defaced by persons who sat there
yesterday and early today before the
robbery was discovered - -

The high art of diplomacy, that so
well masks the innermost thoughts of
those who rise to the heights of an
ambassador, doubtless viewed the So
cial intercourse between Baron Rosen
and Viscount Aoki as most natural.
But to the uninitiated the part of the

lent peculiar glamour to the occasion.
The treaty of peace between Japan
and Russia marked the close of one Of
the bloodiest wars of history. The

honor Of the representative Of the
victorious Japan goes farther, in that
it takes up social intercourse upon a
