EATON WOULD EXPLAIN
AXIS FOR A MEETING OF POLICY
HOLDERS COMMITTEE.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August II. -Sey-
mcur Eaton of this city, who, a few days
ago. resigned as secretary of the internal
tional policy holders committee. has writ
ter letter to former Judge Alton B.
Parker. chairman of the policy holders ex-
ecutive committee, requesting that the COM
nlittee be called together so that he can be
given an opportunity to give his reasons
for severing his connection with that body.
Mr.. Eaton's letter, which is under today's
date. is as follows:
Dear sir: 1 have today received your
letter accepting my resignation as secre-
tery of the international policy holders
committee.
There is absolutely nothing of truth in
the unfavorabe reflections made upon me
personally and upon my work. l have been
loyal to the committee and to the cause
which l engaged to serve, and in view Of
the fact that an attempt was made yester-
Gay to discredit me and to minimize the
significance of my resignation l request that
you. as chairman, ask the permission of
Mr.. Samuel Untermyer, general counsel to
cal a meeting of the international policy
holders committee at such early date as
may be convenient for the purpose of dis
cussing the conditions and circumstances
which brought about my resignation. L
shall gladly be present at that meeting, and
If permission is granted I shall leave no
shadow of doubt in the mind of any mem
Der as to whether not I had good and
sufficient reasons.
IT did not intend that my letter of resig-
nation should cast reflection upon a COM
mittee which met but once and whose men,
bers know practically nothing of the actual
progress and possible outcome of this policy
holders movement.
AN issue between me and the committee
or between me and any of its officers would
have been a trifing matter and might prop
erly have been passed over without public
ity. This issue concerns the American peo-
Pile. By my resignation l simply short-cr-
Quilted the conditions. and it is due to the
distinguished and honorable men who con-
stitute this committee. as well as to the
policy holders who are innocently lending
support to the cause, that my request as
set forth in this letter be granted.
"Mr Edwin Leibfried was acting treas
urer appointed by Mr.. Untermyer, and as
such, he signed all checks and handled all
cash which went through the committees
office. In accepting his resignation the ex-
ecutive committee might at least have
shown common business courtesy. 1t is
true that 1 brought upon myself the dis
pleasure of the general counsel by urging
at various times that a regular treasurer
be appointed. 1t might be interesting for
the general committee at its next meeting
to make inquiry why no such appointment
was made"
