ANOTHER BRIEF
BY MUTUAL LIFE
Technical Reasons Why Petit
ton of Policy Holders Should
Not Be Granted.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Mutual Life In
surance company today announced that a
supplemental brief has been filed with Su-
preme Court Justice Howard of Troy in
the matter of the international policy
holders committees motion to compel the
state superintendent of insurance to re-
move from the administrative ticket for
the election of the Mutual Life the names
of four men on the request of Alfred
Shook, one of the four.
About a month ago the Mutual made
public the names of candidates to be voted
upon next month. 1t was found that the
list contained the names of four men on
the pOlicyholders committee, who never
agreed to be candidates and it was that
these four names be stricken from the
ballot that the motion before Judge How
ard was made.

TRAINS DEATH UNEXPECTED
The Admiral Had Been Sick Since
June 20, but Was Supposed
to Be Doing Well.

Chefoo, China, Aug. 4.-The sickness
of Rear Admiral Charles ]. Train,
commander-in -chief of the United
States Asiatic fleet, who died here yes
terday, began July 20. He arrived here
on the flagship Ohio June "a, went
ashore and put up at a hotel, in the
best of health. He sailed July to meet
the drydock Dewey on her way to the
Philippines, and returned to Chefoo
July 20. The admiral went to his hotel
and informed the officers of the Ohio
that he was unable to return on board.
He was confined to his room shortly
afterward but his illness was not con-
sidered serious until yesterday, and it
was not expected TO be fatal until a
few hours before his death.
The admiraPs son, Russell, and Sur
geons Henry G. Boyer and Henry E.
Odell, who have been in attendance on
the admiral continuously for several
days, We're at his bedside until the end,
which was peaceful.
The body will probably be taken on
board the Ohio tomorrow, when the
battleship will proceed to Yokohama

the matter of the nomination and cleo

Technical Reasons.

1.-THE realtors papers fail to show that
any declination of nomination was ever
made or filed with the superintendent of
insurance, the board of trustees of the
Mutual Life or that notice of declination
was ever filed with the trustees, the sec
rotary of the company or with any one.
Even if there were power under the
law to remove the names from the list
filed. we urge that as a foundation for
an application in mandamus, they should
show that they had made demand OF
the superinterdent Of insurance or of the
nroner officers OF the life insurance com
nanv that the names be stricken from
the certificate of nomination. The NOV
Inc napers do not disclose that any de-
rnsnd was ever made of the superinten-
dent of insurance either before or after
o formal declination."

AGING TREES BEFORE PLANTING.
Can Be Done by the Farmer to Advan-
tage If He Economics on Space.

In my orchard l started to test a
plan that l am working out much more
extensively on my own farm, that of
growing the orchard before / plant it
out, says 4. Sulley, of Connecticut
This is, instead of planting three or
four-year-old trees in the orchard. put
them in a nursery row about two feet
apart and trim about the same as if
planted in the orchard. Grow them
two years, pull up. trim again, and
again plant them, giving them more
space, and at the end of two more
years take to the orchard. l have
taken this experiment far enough to
feel sure that / can grow 1000 trees
on quarter of an acre at less ex-
pense than in the field and have the
latter clear to improve or. crop in full
Do not confound this work with the
old idea of bearing age trees. They
must be handled on or near the farm
where they are to be used, as the
bulk will prevent shipping them. 1t
is exactly the same process as is used
by many ornamental stock growers,
and for the same purpose.

WELL-FED TREES.
They Come Into Bearing Later, But
Last Longer Than Those Underfed.

1t is a matter of common observa-
ton that fruit trees on thin soils come
into bearing early, exhibit a strong
tendency toward fruitfulness, for a
comparatively short time, and die, and
that trees on good, strong land come
into bearing as rule somewhat later,
grow to much greater size, and live
for very much greater number of
years, says II. J. Waters. director of
the Wisconsin experiment station. 1t
is safe to say that well fed trees may
have more than double the number of
productive years than those which are
underfed usually have.
The fact is strikingly shown by the
results of an experiment conducted by
the New Jersey experiment station
with peaches, in which it was OBJ
served that on the unmanured land
the crops secured at the end of eight
years were SO small as to very mate
rally reduce the average for the
whole productive period, while in the
case of the manured land the average
for the entire period was not only not
reduced, but very materially increased.
Thus, the crops secured from the ma

manured trees had practically ceased
to bear.
