:IL TRUST MEN QUIT
 NEW YORK MUTUAL LIFE

Continued from First Page.)
 ---------------- Oil company nor any one occupying an official position in that corporation has ever in the slightest degree had any business or other relation with the Mu- tual Life Insurance company. And in the case of MT. Rockefeller, who is now absent, his policy matured some months ago and was paid and he therefore is no longer policyholder. He also wishes to be relieved from any further service as a trustee
 If anyone imagines that the Stand ard Oil company or any of its officers have profited out of any relation to the Mutual Life Insurance company, he must be strangely ignorant of the facts. Neither MT. Rockefeller nor myself have been identified with any under writing scheme, nor have we been en- gagged in any business affairs with the Mutual company by which we have been the gathers On the contrary we have given business to the Mutual and the allied companies from which they have largely benefited,
 T closing my connection with the Mutual I feel that I am bound to put these facts in the companys records. It is with some degree of pride that say that our services of trusteeship when subjected to the closest scrutiny, will be found one of absolutely unselfsh devotion to the interest of our fellow members.
 T trust that with this explanation you will appreciate the attitude I have taken recently in regard to the selection of new board of trustees. It goes without saying that I regard the choice of the nominating committee as most admirable in every respect.
 Sincerely yours,
 Signed;
 HI, H. ROGERS"
