Yesterday for the purpose of protest.
ing against the 20 per cent horizontal
raise put in force by the Board af
Underwriters of the Pacific. The in
surance men declared they could not
understand the ambiguous instructions
sent out by the: board to the Pacific
Coast agents A committee was an
pointed composed of C. C. Robertson
r. l.. Hawk, p. G. f. AVulff, /. Nathan
and d. w. Carmichael to visit San

nave the Board Of Underwriters re-
lease Sacramento from the raise. The
insurance men argue that when in
1879 all the insurance companies were
cutting rates, the Sacramento agents
maintained the old rates, and the peo-
PIE stood by them. They. hold that
the Sacramento public should not now
be taxed to recoup the companies for
their losses in San Francisco.

situation. He added that there was
more money at the present time in this
city at the disposal of the banks than
tney had any use for. The demand
or depositors for money was very
much lighter than the banks had ex-

Mutual Life Insurance Agents
Threate ned,

The coercion and dismissal of agents
who have rendered long and faithful
service is one of the latest and also one
of the worst of the base tricks to which
the present trustees of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company are resorting in
order to retain control of the vast assets
for Wall Street spectators and save
their official heads. They are demand
ing loyalty" which does not mean
loyalty to the companys policy holders
but to themselves. No agent must have
anything to do with the opposition. If
he does he is unfaithful-to Peabody and
Standard Oil-and is to lose his position
The first plain and open avowal of this
attitude on the part of the trustees was
a telegram sent to all the managers on
September 49, 1t read as follows:

OBITUARY..
John Quincy Atwood.

In the death of John Q. Atwood, this
community loses one of its oldest and
most highly esteemed residents. Born
in Cornwall, the son OF Benjamin and
Cynthia (Eastman) Atwood, he always
remained citizen of this town, save for
six years spent in Bristol. He early
united with the Methodist church, and
during long life was a consistent and
useful member; jealous in the cause of
right, yet charitable toward those who
differed with him in religious belief.
He married September 20, 1849, Sarah
Stems, also of Cornwall, and two child
rem were born to them, J. w. Atwood of
this place, and daughter who died in
childhood. Mr.. Atwood was man who
embodied, in marked degree, the traits
of Puritan ancestry. Intellectual hon.
est, just, shrewd in a bargain, keen to
detect fraud, undemonstrative, yet with
deep sympathy for all suffering, he
lived his upright life, loved and appreci-
ated by those who knew him best. He
attained his 81 years with business capa-
bility unimpared by age or illness. The
funeral was attended from his late home,
Rev. I. A. Howard, assisted by Rev. S.
H. Barnum officiating. The interment
was in Pleasant Hill, Cemetery.
