INSURANCE BILL SIGNED.
Governor Higgins Approves Measure
Oustina Companies Trustees.

Albany, N Y, April 3. = Governor
Higgins has signed the first of the in.
surance investigating committees bills
that which will legislate out of office
all the trustees and directors of the
four mutual life insurance companies
of this state on Nov. IS and postpone
their annual elections to that date.
The companies affected by the act are
the New York Life; the Mutual of New
York, the Mutual Reserve of New
York and the Security Mutual of Bing-
hamton-the four purely mutual life
insurance companies Incorporated I'M
der the laws of this state. 1t does not
affect the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, which is a stock company.
Under the provisions of the act, which
takes effect Immediately, the present
directors and trustees of the four COM
panies concerned will continue in Of
fee until Nov. 10, and their terms Of
Office will then expire.
On that date the annual meetings
must be held by all of the four COM
panies "at time and place which
shall be fixed by the board of directors,
and an entire new board of directors
shall then be elected The said cleo
tons shall be under the supervision of
the superintendent of insurance, who
shall appoint at least three policy hold
ers Of each corporation holding such an
election to act as inspectors thereof.
"The new board of directors elected
as herein provided" the act goes on to
prescribe, shall forthwith elect new
officers of said corporations respective
ly, and the terms of office of any and
all officers of said corporations then in
office shall expire upon the election and
qualification of their successors"
One of the most important effects Of
the act is that it invalidates every
proxy hitherto secured, whether by
the companies themselves, by Thomas
w. Lawson of Boston or any one else,
the act providing that mo vote shall be
cast at any such election under any
proxy executed prior to the 18th day of
September, 1906"

Will Ask Congress For Special Legisla-
tion on Trust Immunity Question.
Washington, April B. President
Roosevelt is contemplating making an
appeal in the beef trust case to con
gress and TO the court of public opinion.
He will probably send a message to
congress very soon dealing with the
whole question. 1t promises to be n
very sensational document
In this message Mr.. Roosevelt Will
discuss the question Of immunity,
showing how individuals la the beef
trust who We're placed on trial escaped
through the technlcality Of the law,
which, as interpreted by Judge Hum
phrey, enabled them to obtain full im-
munity through having laid a few facts
Of their business before Mr.. Garfield,
commissioner Of corporations, who was
conducting an investigation entirely
different from that of the department
Of justice, When they gave these facts
to Mr.. GARFIELD they had not even been
sworn
President Roosevelt win, Ii IS under
stood, recommend that an amendment
be made to the law defining immunity,
narrowing its limits to the scope pre-
scrlbed In the constitution and limiting
it to persons who have given testimony
in inquiries out of which grow criminal
prosecutions.

church Mortgage Burned.

A pleasing feature of the service at
the Methodist Episcopal Church on
Sunday morning was the burning Of
the mortgage which had been a charge
against the parsonage since it's cree
tion. Rev. r. B. Urmy told of the
mortgage and how much interest had
been paid on it and requested f. A.
Day, who signed the mortgage as
president Of the board of trustees to
apply the match. The burning of the
mortgage is the elimination Of the eff
fort of Mr.. Urmy, who raised the last
$500 of the money needed in church
two weeks ago.

MitcheIPs Trump card.


For the purpose of forcing the oper-
ators to make these vital concessions
President Mitchell is prepared to play
trump card just as he did at Indian
apolis to whip the bituminous operators
into line. This card win come out in
the form of fiat ultimatum to the
operators that if they remain firm in
their declaration that they will not
make any concessions in order to avert
a strike the mine workers committee
will demand a congressional investiga-
ton of the anthracite coal carrying
railroads and their subsidiary mining
companies. Although the anthracite
mines are operated by corporations
supposed to have no official connection
with the railroads, President Mitchell
will, it is asserted, present evidence
that the two Industries are really iden-
tical 50 far as ownership goes.
The operators committee, composed
of George It. Baer W. H. Truesdale,
]. B. Kerr, David Wilcox, Morris Will
Hams, E. R. Thomas and j. L. Cake,
have determined upon five crucial
points which they will not concede to
the miners These are:
The eight hour workday.
A uniform rate of wages for the 146
different classes of labor.
The check off system, by which the
operators would bind themselves to
levy certain tax ON every mine work
er and turn this over to the union
The CLOSED shop"
The 10 per cent fiat increase in wages.
The operators will agree only to a
renewal of the agreement of 1908 and
make their fight on this, allowing per-
haps few minor concessions.
The mine workers committee, which
is composed of President Mitchell,
Thomas d. Nichols. John 4. Dempsey.
William II. Dettry, John p. Gallagher,
John Fahy and George Hartlein, are
quartered at the Ashland House.
Operators Not In Price Deal.
| Speaking for the operators, e. B.
Thomas positively denied the reports
sent out by the retail coal dealers of
this city that they had been forced to
boost the price of coal 81 ton and
said that the increase by the retailers
was purely arbitrary.
The operators admit that they are
restricting orders SO as to conserve
their reserve Of 100000 tons for the
public in the event Of prolonged
shutdown, but assert that the retailers
are getting all the coal they legiti-
mately require
They assert that they are determined
to put stop to unwarranted specula.

tive measures to that end.
