Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-Fred-
erick Howard. as holder of policy
issued by the Pacific Mutual Life, has
begun an action to prevent the merger
of that company and the Conservative
Life Insurance company.
He asks that the combination of
the assets and liabilities of the two
old companies be enjoined and that In
surance Commissioner Wolf be proh!b-
tied from issuing a certificate to the
newly incorporated company.
The complaint states that the Pacific
Mutual is solvent but that the Con-
servative Life is insolvent. The plain
tiff AYERS that the Conservatives books
have been fraudulently manipulated
the values of its assets inflated and Its
reports padded to make the insurance
commissioner and public think 1t is In
a safe financial condition; that the
value of it's real estate has been in
fated 100000 He says it has listed
as assets policies of a defunct assess
ment company which it holds, putting
them down in its report at their face
value, the aggregate being large,
WHILE in fact they have no value eX-
cept in the event of the death of the
benefiiciaries, and the policies are IL
able to lapse before maturity. Such
policies to the extent Of $4,000 lapsod
in 1895.
Among the listed assets are also
loans by the company to it's policy
holders on policies to the mount of
$4,000 in excess of the legal reserve,
it is stated, and the loans are unse-
cured.
The Conservative Life was located
at Los Angeles.

ALL SUIT CASES
LOOKED ALIKE
FOUR TOURISTS HAD TO PICK
AT RANDOM
Venturesome Man Opened Receptacle
and FiImy Lingerie Greeted His
Eyes-AII Finally Departed
Happy From Depot

Two men and two women alghted
from the Salt Lake train yesterday
morning and took cab for the Santa
Fe depot. All We're en- route to San
Diego. All carried suit cases when
they reached the cab door. All were
strangers to each other. 1t was rain
ing and they were in hurry.
The cabby bundled his passengers
into their seats and piled the suit cases
on the front of the vehicle.
A moment later the Santa Fe depot
had been reached and the four tour
lists were handed from the cab
(Which is my suit case?" asked one
of the women as four leather recepta-
Giles were placed side by side on the
platform.
And which is mine?" put in a third.
Seems to me they all look alike"
put in one of the gentlemen, and the
cabby stared at the fasteners with
stony and hard-harted stare.
1t was still raining and the Santa Fe
train was about to pull out. Something
had to be done and yet not one of the
four tourists was sure enough of his
or her judgment to pick out suit
case and make off with it.
A Pretty Mess
wen, tnlS Is Certalnlysa pretty
mess" said a male member of the
impromptu party. IT believe this one
is mine though and 1 am going to in
vestgate.
Without another word the clasp flew
back and the case opened. Then it
closed up again with a snap. The
brief instant that its contents were
exposed to view was of sufficient dura-
ton to convince the man who opened
it that the ribbons, hosiery and lingerie
which came to view didn't belong to
him.
The brave act of the tourist was not
without results, however, for one of
the passengers recognized the wearing
apparel as her own and blushingly
made for the train, suit case in hand.
Almost at the same instant the other
woman plucked up courage enough
TO examine one of the remaining suit
cases, although she did so while the
men turned their heads In another di-
rection and seemed to be enjoying the
view of the mountains in the distance.
When the second member of the
party had secured her own the men
grabbed a suit case apiece and made
for the train just as the conductor
yelled all aboard and the engineer
touched the throttle.
1t goes without saying that the re-
naming suit cases were examined in
the smoking car and that eventually
each of the four came into possession
of his Cor herr own property.

THEATRES
aGlas Lyndsn in s.EIer own way.D

Miss Lynden in @HeR Own Way.' Montgomery was given its first op- portunity yesterday of passing Judg. ment on the Clyde Fiteh's comedy drama, Her Own Way" in which Maxine Elliott starred so successfully last season, A large audience saw the play at matinee. but the evening per- foTmance was poorly attended,
 Her Own Way Is portrayal of the unfaltering love of 8 woman who, though divested of money by the specHlations of her brother, lends q deaf ear to the proposals of a wealthy mine owner desiring her hand in mat rimony The play mirrors phases of iseciety's shallowness and 1t shows forcibly that money is not all in life.
 Instead of Miss Elliott in the lead ing role, Sylvia Yynden was seen hers yesterday at the Montgomery Theaese. As Georgiana earley, the woman witt the undying love for the only man she cared for, Miss Jyndep was quite equal to the part, especially in her emotional acting. She reads well; she was grace full and her stage appearance Is pleas ing. But Miss Lyndsh was unfortun ate in not having adequate support, With one exception of one CT two minor characters, who afforded occasional in~ terest, Miss Lynden's company Is no: far above mediocre.
 Josephine Foy. cast as a hair dresser of humble origin, who uses big words, was entertaining.
 As to the male roles of the play, AL fred Brettan as Steve Carley, the squanderer of a fortune by specula- tion, was probably the best, more so because he looked the part than for any other reason. Gray B. Fowler, as Lieutenant Richard Coleman, Geor' giana's lover, fell short of most of the requirements.
 A unique and pretty feature of ths performance were the three children, little Eugene Ford, Dolly Ford and Edith Ford. who appeared in the first scene at a birthday party The entire scene is realistic and novel.
 The play was spiendidly staged, and there Is no doubt it would have created a much more lasting impression in Montgomery had Miss Lynden been ao~ companied by better support.
