effect Of bringing the people to IA!
realization Of the situation. The last

streets. }ss's 5szss
With the first appearance of the sol
diers there came a revulsion of senti-,
ment. A decided reaction set in AMI
people began to condemn the action Of
the mob that lynched the three ne
groes and burned their bodies. This
feeling continues to gain strength, es-
pecially as it has become thoroughly
appreciated that. Mabel Edmondson,
the white domestic, has declared posi-
lively that Duncan and Copeland, two
OF the negroes lynched, We're not her
assailants. This also was heightened
by the arrival from Jefferson City of
an assistant attorney general, sent by
Governor Folk to aid the county off,
Gals in ferreting out and prosecuting
the members of the mob, the names of
many of whom are known.
Warrants for twenty-five persons,

Northwestern Mutual Life In.
suranee Co. to Change
Election System

Milwaukee, April 17.-Important ad-
missions were made by the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
officers at the Legislative investigation
during the day. President Palmer. ad-
mitted that the election system which
had been used by the company was
obs alete, saying: ITS like some other
things in the history of the company.
The company has grown too large for
such a system and it must be rem
edied."
General Counsel George H. Moves of
the company declared it was the in
tention of the company to radically
change the form of the assignment de-
manded from policyholders making
loans on their policies. The clause in
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
ance company has been the most Sc.
we're OF any company on. this point. =
Color was given the examination by
a personal statement from President
Palmer In regard to his wife's loans on
policies. President Palmer feels much
hurt that SO much publicity has been
given this matter. He declared that
he considered his wife's loans legiti-
mate form Of investment and that they
were all made from her own private
funds inherited by her from her father.
He also claimed that the majority of
the loans made were upon tontine pol
icies on which the company could not
loan. He also declared that where re-
newals had been made upon policies
on which the company might have
loaned the rate Of interest higher than
6 per cent had been reduced to that
amount
