 False Attack on international Policy

 New York, Sept. 13-The controversy between the Mutual Life Insurance company. the international policyhold- CTS committee and the newly formed of the Mutual Life Insurance company was signalized to-day by Two state ments. President Peabody of the Mu- tual Life Insurance company sharply answered the charges brought by eX- Justice Alton B. Parker against the company in his letter to Bishop c. c. McCabe of the Methodist church. He said that the facts were not as stated in the letter, which, he asserted, mis- quoted the testimony taken before the committee. President Peabody said that fit is hardly worth while to dis cuss" the letter, and further, that 1t is impossible to understand how he (Mr. Parker) could have made the statements therein made unless he was laboring under the densest ignorance of tho facts"
 The other statement is a lengthy one by George R. Schruham, organization manager of the international policy holders committee, in which he scores the Policyholders' Protective associa- tion.
 He denounces the resolutions adopt ed at the meeting of the association as false and a cowardly attack upon the twenty-four members of the interna- tional policyho,ders committee. In his statement MT. Schruhan says:
 The resolutions adopted yesterday contain the further misstatement that the international policyholders com mittee has made false and unfounded accusations against certain of the di- rectors and officers of the said compa, ny. No more unmanly course can be pursued than to call twentyfour gen tlemen liars without specifying the statement which their denouncers brand as false If MT Colgate will ap. point his secretary, and appoint the five members of his executive commit. tee, and over their names specify the false and unfounded statements made by this committee, the internationa policyholders committee is ready tC substantiate the truth of every state. ment ever made by it and specially challenged

BUFFALO HAS MYSTERY.
THE POLICE TRYING TO SOLVE
 WOMAN'S DISAPPEARANCE.

Dr. Turner, Who Conducted Hospitals
 for Women, Arrested--T3ed Saturated
 With Blood Found in One of Them Physicians Think Woman Lost Too
 Much Blood to Leave Place Herself.
 Buffalo, Sept. 19.-Dr. w. w. Turver, who conducted hospitals for women at 101 Niagara street and 72s Prospect avenue, in this city, is a pri1oner at police headquarters, and the police are trying to unravel the mystery of the sudden disappearance of Gertrude Knight of Philadelphia from his Mag ara street establishment, where large quantities of blood stained clothes and bedding were found.
 The police were first attracted to Dr, Turver's Niagara street place on Wednesday morning, when, following a quarrel with Miss Geddes. his head nurse. Dr. Turver went through the place with an axe, smashing furniture and windows.
 While investigating the cause of the disturbance the police found bad sat urated with blood, and a furnace part ly filled with blood soaked cotton. It was learned that a patient who gave her name as Gertrude Knight of Phil adelphia occupied the room on Tuesday. Miss Geddes, the nurse, told District Attorney Abbot to-day that this par tient left the hospital on "wednesday and took the Ii a. m. train for Phila- deiphia.
 Her testimony in this respect is part ly confirmed by Mrs. Ayres, board ing house keeper, to whom Dr. Turver sent some of his patients. She said a woman came to her place Tuesday night, and left for Philadelphia on Wednesday. She did not know her name, however.
 | While Investigating the Knight case the police learned that Edith Primer of Hoboken. N. J., died at the Prospect avenue hospital on September 8. Miss Timers body was shipped to her home in Hoboken. N. J. In the last year an | undertaken named Prouty said to-day he was buried six women and two chill dhen for Turver. It was first suspected that the Primer woman and the woman who disappeared from the Niagara street place were the same, This theo- ry was dismissed to-day when trunk found in the Niagara street hospita was opened by the police. It was filled with womens fine clothing and bun. dle of letters addressed to Gertrude Knight. Physicians consulted by the police doubt the statements regarding Miss Knights sudden departure from Turver's place. They say the woman who occupied the blood stained cham Der on Niagara street lost so much blood that it would be impossible fol her to travel so soon. They are alsC puzzled to know why she should leave her trunk and clothing at such a place
 Miss Geddes was taken the the dis trict attorneys office to-day. She ad. mitted that Dr. Turver's sally with ar axe followed a quarrel with her bu steadfastly declined to divulge the cause of their trouble.

ORDERS AT NORFOLK.
Ships There to Take on Extra Supplies
 md Sail Soon.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 1S-There were several hurry orders received from Washington to-day relative to the dis patching of cruisers in connection with the Cuban situation.
 Orders were issued by the command ants of the cruisers Newark, Tacoma and Cleveland that all members of the crews of those ships who desired shore liberty to-day must report on board o'clock tonight. The cruiser Newark was ordered to take on board supplies for a six months cruise.
 The fact that the department intends to rush the Newark to Cuba without that ship first receiving needed repairs is significant Eight hundred tons of coal were placed on board the Newark to-day, and that amount will be placed on her tomorrow. The cruisers Taco ma and Cleveland are being coaled. and rations and an unusual large amount of ammunition were put on board,

HIRAM'S NEW HOME.
Old Masonic Lodge Has Leased Turn
 Hall.

At the regular communication of Hiram lodge No. l, F. and A. M., held last night it was announced that the lodge had rented for year the Turn hall, which was recently purchased by Morris Steinert, and which has recently been remodelled and made suitable for lodge rooms. It will be remembered that Hiram lodge was busted from it's old quarters through the tearing down of the old temple at the corner of Chapel and Union streets to make way for the railroad improvements. Since then the communications have been held in the Elks' building on Crown street. This, however, was found too small for the meetings, and the lodge agreed to rent Turn hall for a year from the first of October. It is under stood that this is only temporary place of gathering, and that the idea of having new temple is still being considered.

ARMY ADDS ITS PROTEST
ITO THOSE AGAINST ANTI-PASS RULE.

Lieutenant General COrbin Says That
 Legislation Has Worked Hardship on
 Men-Half Rate Privileges With
 drawn From Them--Unless Modified
 Men Must be Separated From Their
 Families 9 Great Part of Their Lives
 Says He--AlsO Disapproves of Pro-
 hibitiOn of Beer and Light Wines.
 Washington, Sept. 13.-To the com plaints made against the anti-pass pro- vision of the railroad rate bill, which have come from host of organizations of various kinds the army has now added it's protest. In a report to the war department Lieutenant General Henry c. Corbin says that legislation by congress during the past year has worked hardship on many officers and enlisted men of the army in doing away with the privilege, granted them by the railroads, of half rates for their families and half rates to officers and enlisted men themselves when travel ing on leave of absence.
 When officers are deprived of suot courtesies as the railroads have beer accustomed to extend to them, It will men that an officer sent to the Philip. pines will be separated from his fami. ly for a long period unless he uses al of his meagre savings and perhaps runs in debt.
 General Cobin says:
 Unless the law is modified, it means that officers will have to be separated from their families great part of theil lives, thus bringing dlscontent on al sides and a distinct dislike for distant or foreign service. The visits to theil people at home will of necessity be fal between, but l can conceive of no sad der or more regrettable loss to a mar than the total severance of the ties that bind him to his old home and commu. nity."
 General Corbin also contributes his disapproval of the legislative. prohibi. ton against the sale of beer and light wines in the post exchanges On thi: subject he says:
 Tt would seem unnecessary to argue to fair-minded person the superiority of a system which provides mild al. coholic beverage at reasonable cost ir moderate quantities, under strict mili- tary control, to one which results 1T turing the soldier away from his bar. racks to neighboring dives, where his soul and body are poisoned and ruined by vile liquors, with the accompanying vice of harlotry and where his money is taken from him by gamblers ant thieves, Unauthorized absence ant frequent assertions directly traceablt to visits to these dens of iniquity form a large percentage of the cases of tria by the several military courts, the mum. Der of which are blot upon the other. wise fair record of our army"

COMMERCE COMMISSION
 INSULTED BY LETTER
UNNAMED RAILROAD PRESI- DENT INSINUATES IT MIGHT
 WINK AT PRACTICES.

Sensation Created by Epistle Which
 Also Suggests That Certain Railroads
 Might Scoop Competitors by Instan-
 taneOus Midnight Tariff-Parties For
 and Against Waiver of Thirty-Day
 Notice Make Reciprocal Charges of
 AttemptingtO Restrict Competition.
 Washington, Sept, 1S.-Unusual in- terest attached to the hearing of the interstate commerce commission to-day on the question of the requirement of the new railroad rate law of thirty days notice of intended changes in freight rates. Aside from the fact that the testimony and discussions brought out charges and countercharges of en- deavoring to restrict competition upon the part of lines east of the Mississippi, and those west of the river, there was injected into the proceedings some thing of a sensation when Chairman Knapp read letter from a party whom he said was well-known pres- ident of western railroad, insinuating in connection with the question of waiver of the thirty days notice that the committee might wink at certain practices of the cotton exporters while oiv yl ierhf competitors by inaugurating "instan- taneous midnight tariffs.
 Judge Edward Baxter of Nashville, Tenn, counsel for number of rail- roads, bitterly assailed the writer of the leetter and charged that 1t was an insult to the commission and those who were seeking the waiver of the thirty days provision of the law
 At the afternoon session Judge Bax- ter said the opportunity was not given of even knowing the name of the writ CT of the letter. He was not writing, he said for the people he represented, to be put in the attitude of juggling with the commission, This, he said, was a public hearing, and it was extremely unfair that an unanimous letter writer should put us in the attitude of en- deavoring to obtain some advantage over this commission. I wish to acquit | the gentlemen I represent of any sinis- ter or underhand or nefarious purpose toward obtaining anything from this l commissioner
 Judge Baxter declared that so far as his roads were concerned, they had never been accused before of making anything analogous to a midnight tar | If" The letter, he said further, is an insult to the commission as much as to us. It is an insult to us to suppose we would ask this commission to sup pose that it would wink at it if we be- lleved it."
 The letter, he said, was virtua, confession of the writer that the re- bates and iniquitous work that he has been carrying on is about as bad as you have ever read of"
 The commission passed the matter over without announcing the letter writer's name.
 The hearing developed into a genera, discussion of the whole subject of cot ton traffic, the outcome being that the representatives of the lines east of the Mississippi, who are favorable to the waiving of the thirty days notice, and those west of the Mississippi, who ia. vor the enforcement of that provision of the law, charged each other with en- deavoring to restrict competition.
 An adjournment was taken until to. l morrow

Does Away With Privilege.
 Vienna, Sept. 1S.-Under the new electoral reform bill the privilege hith- erto accorded women who are landed proprietors of voting at parliamentary elections is abolished. Baron vonBien- erth, the minister of the interior, on behalf of the government, pointed out that all attempts to extend female suf- frage on the continent had failed, es- pecially where universal suffrage was introduced; and he doubted the advis- ability of the step at the present stage of the political evolution of Austria. Victor Adler. the socialist leader, though an advocate of female suffrage, also considered the present time un- propitious for undertaking the exten- sion of the right.
