PROSECUTING AT THE TOP.

OF the three men who were presi-
dents of New York's big insurance
companies year ago, one is dead. an
other is a hopeless invalid, and the
third, who has resigned. is in feeble
health, travelling abroad under engage
ment with the district attorneys office
to return If he is wanted. says the
New York Mail.
Three high officials of the Mutual
Reserve were indicted in March,
charged with larceny and forgery.
Two men, vice presidents of the Mu-
tual Life under the old regime, were
indicted yesterday, charged, one with
forgery and perjury, the other with
forgery and misdemeanor.
This showing ought to convince
every one open to conviction that there
is no official disposition to let insur-
ance men in conspicuous position es-
cape the inquisition OF justice. 1t is
likely to convince every one except a
few newspaper critics of the district
attorney, who tried to lead him up
blind trail in prosecutions that the
appellate justices say they would have
halted. and who raised clamor be-
cause they said he punished only
"small offenders" and then were pal
pably vexed when he promised immu-
nifty to some of the small insurance
fry. in order to get their testimony
against those higher up"
In proceeding against men of the
rank of those indicted Yesterday the
grand jury has gone as high as it can
go. while keeping within the insurance
field. Above them there is no "high-
cr up" except it be those Wall street
magnates who in their private capac-
| ity are believed to have exerted ma
companies, but who had no official
responsibility for their management.
1t is difficult to exaggerate the i'm
| portance of the movement, on which
this country has embarked, to hold
high officials criminally responsible
for concealing in their accounts, under
entries alleged to be blind and false,
transactions believed to be dubious,
and for making reports to the state
believed to contain untruthful state
ments. The indictments strike at the
whole fabric of evasion and conceal
ment behind which the System" OPP
Grated.

ALASKAN \ COAL.

Alaska coal will play an important
feature in the development of that
immense territory in years to come.
Already 1t may be safely said that
from St. Michaels at the mouth of the
Yukon river to Bennett City, nearly
2ho6 miles distant, the entii stretch
Of intervening country could hc sup
piled with Alaska coal.
Another big strike of importance Is
heralded from the Atlin district. The
Atlin Tooga Coal Syndicate have un-
covered immense seams Of coal on
the Tooga river and further develop
ment work will be continued through
out the summer months.
Besides this new field three other
properties are supplying the local
markets. They are the Tantalus, Will
iiams and Seimer mines.

THE POSTAL ROBBERY.

The arguments on the parcel post
bill which has been before congress
the past month have brought out some
startling statistics on the cost of car
rying the mail in the United States.
Representative Hangen of Iowa, who
is opposed to the parcels post bill, has
unwittingly made many friends for
government ownership Of railroads in
his fight on the bill. He showed that
the present exorbitant prices paid for
traneportating the mails, make It i'm
possible for the government TO carry
parcels at less than mail rates, while
the present contracts for carrying
mail are in force.
II would bankrupt the government
TO pay postal rates on parcels. The
postal graft is so enormous that It is
now actually preventing the passage
Of the parcels post measure, which ia
demanded by the public and which
would be beneficial reform in the
postal service.
Representative Hangen shows that
over one-quarter of the cost Of the
pos,office department is paid to the
railroads. For the mere transporta-
ton the railroads charge 1925 a tor
per mile.
This l. oy-r 100 times the average
freight charge. although in their
freight business the railroads provide
stations. cars and all employees. II

| year and attributed much of the
schools success to them. He said
that the beginning year was always
difficult, and they would all profit by
the experiences of this term. He paid
tender and loving tribute to the
memory of Walter Geers and delivered
the goodbye of the faculty with the
wish that the boys might return to
him next fall as strong in body and
pure in mind as they were when leav-
ing. After the benediction by Dr.
Tinnon the cadets formed in line in
front of the Chapel and were formally
dismissed by Major Martin.
The closing of the first year of this
big school marks an epoch in Colum-
bias history. The school has had
remarkable success, and the outlook
for next year is bright indeed. Though
Profs. Hardy and Edgerton took
charge of the school after brief no
tice, and time was not given for prop
er advertising, the attendance was
larger than any preparatory school in
Tennessee has ever had during the
first year. The school has been for
tunate in the gentlemen in charge and
these gentlemen have been fortunate
in the professors associated with
them and in the loyal support and con-
fidence they have received from the
people of Columbia. Almost without
exception, the undergraduates have
signified their intention of returning
next session, while inquiries and APP
plications already received give assur-
ance of much larger attendance.

SchooI-Brght Prospects for
Next Year.

The closing exercises of the Column
bia Military Academy were ushered in
with competitive drill at $50 Mon
day morning, for the purpose of award
ing the James medal, offered by James
Bros, of Columbia, to the best drilled
cadet in the battalion.
Promptly at $3.50 the command to
fall in was given, and it was about
forty-fve minutes later that Major
Martin, assisted by Lieut. Totten, of
the Nashville Grays, State National
Guard, Nashville, decided on Corporal
Joe Neal, of Lawrenceburg, Company
"A, as the winner.
One by one, the cadets dropped out,
their knowledged of the manual being
the end there were seven left-Ca-
diets Whitthorne, Stevenson, Burton
and Jacobs. of Company B, and Kit
trell White and Neal, of Company
"a"
On an impossible command from
parade rest" five men fell down,
leaving Kittrell and Neal to fight out
the contest. Cadet Kittrell executed
an impossible command from pre-
sent arms" leaving Neal the victor
The cadets showed remarkable pro-
ficiecy in the Manual of Arms and
Major Martin deserves much credit
for the fine showing made
An audience that taxed the capacity
of the Academy Chapel was present at
II o'clock, when Rev. R. M. Tinnon
opened the exercises with a short
prayer.
Prof Edgerton introduced Chan
cellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, in characteristically witty
speech, referring to his former rela-
tons with DR.. Kirkland, his pleasure
on hearing him address an audience
and the pain when he alone was pres
ent.
DR.. Kirkland paid graceful tribute |
to Professors Hardy and Edgerton,
and then delivered most scholarly |
address along educational lines, cit
ing many instances to show the power |
of training and intellect over circum-
lengthy synopsis of the address, which
will be given in tomorrow's issue.
After the address Prof. Edgerton ex-
planned the basis on which the Honor
Roll is made and calling especial at
tention to the high Honor Roll and the
boys receiving no dement's. Prof
follows:
Sewanee, Clinton Whitthorne;
Washington and Lee, Robert Clark;
Frank White
Next he presented the certificates
to the thirteen members of the Senior
class. Following Prof Hardy, Lieut.
Totten spoke briefly, complimenting
the cadets on their excellency in drill.
After telling several very humorous
stories, he called Sergeant Neal to
the platform and presented him with '
the handsome gold medal which {
Messrs. James Bros, of this city, had
so generously offered for the best
drilled cadet.
