4 conclusive evidence that all the talk
in the late campaign in reference to a
removal Of the judiciary from poll

to deceive the public. But it would
rather see the work of the supreme

Roosevelt Includes Part Of
Statute Made By G. F. Amidon
Reference to Evil Of Granting New Trials on Purely
Technical Errors-of Widespread Importance.

Last April Judge Amidon delivered
an address before the Minnesota State
Bar association, in which he dealt
with the evil of granting new trials
for purely technical errors. The ad-
dress attracted Widespread attention
at the time on the part of lawyers
and judges and was topic of general
comment by the press. 1t was also
a theme Of prominent discussion at
the meeting Of the American Bar as

PULPIT GEN.

Occasionally there glints from the
pulpit of the country gem of thought
90 optimistic, so comprehensive and
so broad that it is well worth pre-
serving. 1t is too often the case that
the opinions of the pulpit are turned
to the darker, gloomier side Of life
and the brightness of the intellectual
splendor with which We are daily sur
rounded is lost in the shadows which
lie on the other side. In recent
sermon in the Union Park Congrega-
tional church at Boston, the pastor.
DR.. Bassett, presented the beauties
of the present as compared with the
life Of half a century ago, In the fol-
lowing beautiful words:
e Human life has been immensely
widened in its superficial advantages,
in what may be called our own day.
Within the memory Of living men half
the twenty greatest discoveries and
inventions of all time have been made.
With. the use of fire, the mechanical
devices of the wedge and the lever. the
art Of writing printing by movable
type; the inventor of gun powder, the
mariners compass, the telescope, the
circulation of the blood and the ex-
pansion of steam, may be compared
the advances which have changed the
face Of common life in civilized lands
more recently. One group Of these
includes the application of steam and
electricity for power, heat and light,
yielding vast variety of fabrics and
utensils for personal use and adorn-
ment and for domestic comfort which
the wealth Of kingdoms could not pur-
chase 100 years ago. Modern medical
science has contributed largely to hu-
man health and even to longevity.
The discovery of anaesthetics and an
tiseptic surgery has reduced physical
pain and lessened the danger and
dread Of surgical treatment. Educa-
ton and intelligence is more widely diff
fused than ever before, largely by the
invention of the cylindrical press.
The social benefits of rapid and cheap
transportation are notable. Almost
every city and town suburbs are de-
veloping. Overcrowded tenements,
breeding places of disease and vice
are yielding to dwellings in more

No Criminality Involved.

NEW YORK, November 17.-District At
torney Jerome tonight made public the first
report prepared by him upon the request Of
Gov. Higgins and concerning the conduct
of the business of life insurance in
this state. The report is a document
of some 1900 words and is addressed
to the governor, to whom a copy
was mailed today. 1t deals with the affairs
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. In
a later report the district attorney says
that he will consider the business methods
of the New York Life Insurance Company
Epitomized, the conclusions of the district
attorney. based upon an exhaustive inves-
LEGATION of the facts and the legal points
involved. are that there is no state law
under which insurance officials can be pro-
ceeded against criminally for acts now or
formerly in common practice. some of
which were made public during the recent
legislative inquiry. except in the cases of
two officers of the Mutual Life against
whom specific charges of forgery and
larceny have been filed.
Mr.. Jerome points out that while II is In
the power of the insurance commissioner
of New York to obtain a law covering the
alleged evils of insurance, the cases under
discussion do not come within the pro-
visions of any statute now existent.

DECREE ON INSURANCE.
Hope That the Bills May Guarantee
Inner Peace of GERMANY

BERLIN, November 1.-THE official I'M
perial Gazette this afternoon published a
decree on the anniversary of the message
Of Emperor William I on state insurance,
pointing out the great ideas contained in
the message, which had not only unrivaled
success in his majesty's own country, but
was spreading beyond the frontiers of Ger
many, adding:
Unfortunately the accomplishment of its
highest aim has been retarded by the con-
tinuous opposition of those thinking them
selves entitled to represent the interests of
the working classes
The message concludes with expressing
the hope that the insurance bills may guar
antee the inner peace of Germany and an
nouncing that 1t is the emperors will that
the legislation shall continue until the task
of protecting the poor and weak Is ac-
compliShed.

NEW YORK, November 17-Mrs. Her
bert Parsons has stirred up the clergy of
New York with her new book, THE Fam

riages, with divorce at WILL The Rev. DR..
Morgan Dix. rector of Trinity parish, will
tomorrow preach against the doctrines laid
down by Mrs. Parsons
The doctrines preached by Mrs. Par
sons are simply outrageous" said DR..
Dig. Il shall preach sermon in Trim
ity Church tomorrow morning in which I
shall take up the matter and do my utmost
to counteract the influence which the
spreading Of such disgraceful theories may
have on society. I am now preparing the
sermon.
The idea Of men and women living like
animals, separating at will and contracting
new alliances. leaving the children to be
nobody's children and to be cared for by
the state, is barbarism.
1.-The proposition to abolish the clause
in the divorce law prohibiting the remar-
riage of divorced couples is almost as rep
rehensible.
NO divorced person can be remarked in
any of the nine churches In my parish, no
matter for what cause the divorce may
have been granted.
THE proposition to reduce the number
Of children and keep down the progeny of
married couples is also most offensive, and
Is a menace to morality and the stability
of society.

MANAGEMENT IS DISTURBED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 17.-For the first
time since the beginning of the present
election of trustees of the Mutual and New
York Life Insurance companies state
ment regarding the probable outcome has
been made by the international policy hold
ers' committee, which is taking the prin-
cipal part in the fight against the admins
tration tickets. The officials of both the
Mutual and New York Life have repeatedly
declared that they were very confident Of
success
In speaking for those in charge Of the
international policy holders committee
Manager George r. Scrugham had this to
say today:
Thirty of the sixty days allowed by law
in which to cast ballots in insurance cleo
ton have elapsed and approximately 40 per
cent Of the entire vote has been cast in
both the New York Life and the Mutual
Life, the proportionate vote In the Mutual
being somewhat larger than that in the
New York Life. In both companies the
policy holders tickets now have a substan-
tial majority Of the votes cast, and the
only danger to the success of this great
public-Spirited movement lies in the policy
holders becoming inert and not voting and
in the ability of the horde OF paid agents
(paid with policy holders money! being
able to mislead policy holders by the many
false and misleading campaign stories that
are being furnished to the agents by the
present discredited management in order to
hide their own methods and obscure the
real issues in the campaign.
1.-The vote is far in excess of our esti-
mates and Is an illustration of the deep In
terest on the part of the policy holders in
the outcome of the future control of their
billion dollars of savings in these compa-
MES. The vote cast any single day since

presidents and officials of other local finan-
cial institutions were 4 unit not only in
scouting the idea that there c3uId be any
thing wrong with the institution. but that
1t was in a better condition in every way
than at any other time in its history. 1t
was shown, according to a statement of
the banks condition at the close of bust
ness on November H. that there was
reserve of 100000 in addition to Sl6,G4S.41
of undivided profits, and the directors
formally stated that The institution was
never in such sound and safe condition as

concerned that their money and property
was in not the slightest danger.
Regarded as Solid Institution.
81 consider this trust company one of the
most solid financial Institutions in the
United States said Mr.. T. P. Kane, acting
controller of the currency. 1T was exam
ined in October last and was shown to be in
perfectly solvent condition. The run upon
1t was entirely uncalled for and senseless.
I regard it as one of the most conservative
ly managed banking institutions in this
city and it's report issued at the ciose of
business on November ~ shows that IT was
never in better condition than at the pres
emf time"
This sentiment was repeated in practically
the same words by Mr.. Owen Z. Reeves,
banking examiner from the controllers Of
flee, who made the regular SEMI annual ex-
ANNA ton or the company S finances Tor the
Treasury Department only few days ago.
Because yesterday was half-holiday and
many banking officials followed the usual
rule of getting away early from their places
of business, 1t was possible to reach only
few of them, but all who were interviewed
declared that the rumor that the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company was impaired
was preposterouS
There was no cause for it, said Mr.. E.
Southland Parker, president of the National
Metropolitan Bank. 1.-THE Washington Loan
and Trust Company is abundantly able to
meet all demands made upon it,"
Mr.. Charles ]. Bell. president of the
American Security and Trust Company,
characterized the rumor which caused the
run silly. and MIR. Clarence Corson, cash
Ter of the Columbia National Bank SAID the
Washington Loan and Trust Company never
put out better statement than that show
ing its condition at this time.
