NOT A Love FEAST
Warning Life Insurance Factions
Appear Before Committee Of
4. New York Legislature.
OPPOSE THE AMENDMENTS


Albany, N. Y. April 25.-The New
York Life Insurance company, Mutual
Life and Equitable, the association
Of life insurance presidents. the Inter
national policyholders committee and
the special boards Of elections inspec
tors were represented Wednesday
night at the joint session Of the SEN
ate and assembly insurance committees
when a hearing was had on the two
bills which would amend the new In
surance laws by the Armstrong com
mittee. One bill would change the
procedure In connection with elections
Of director Of mutual life insurance
companies, the other would amend the
penal code so as to compel testimony
in connection with charges Of unlaw-
full rebating while still protecting the
witness against the use of his testi'
mony against himself In subsequent
criminal proceedings.
Both sides were given until Monday
to file proposed amendment to the
pending bills.
During the hearing there were tits
between Mr.. Untermyer and the rep
resentatives Of the insurance companies
during which charges were made OF
unfair tactics in the conduct of the
campaign for both sides Of the recent
election. General Solicitor McKeen of
the Mutual condemned the proposition
to give the superintendent Of insur-
ance power to make rules for the con-
duct Of elections of directors. Charges
have been made" he said, 'of fraud
and forgery In connection with the re-
cent election of directors. After a
personal and minute investigation and
out Of the thousands Of votes cast for
the administration ticket, l find only
one ballot to which there could be
the slightest question"
Mr.. Untermyer broke in with q re-
tort that $4,000 would be nearer"
Judge Steele Of the New York Life
declared that the new law had not
been given thorough test and should
not be amnded at this time. He
questioned the right Of the legislature
to forbid voting by proxies.
Mr.. Untermyer said he had affida-
Wits from 20 states showing that ad-
ministration ballots had been forged.
The charges and counter-charges
which have been extensively published
during the insurance campaign were
reiterated.

DECISIVE ACTION
American Railway Association Pro.

Which Worries Shippers.

VIII Help.

Chicago, April 25.-Decisive action
was taken here Wednesday by the
American Railway association to rem
edy the car shortage which for sew
eral months has been causing go much
worry among shippers throughout the
country. The failure Of some roads
to furnish sufficient quota Of equip
ment for their own traffic ahd the
failure to provide and enforce proper
rules for the return Of foreign cars
to their own roads are responsible
for the shortage and to remedy the
evil the association adopted a rule,
to be confirmed later BY letter bal
lot Of all roads, providing that any
railroad which hereafter shall not
return to its owner after unloading
all cars consigned to It win be pen
allied five dollars for each car so
misused, to be paid to the owner of
the car. This penalty is in addition
to the per diem charge Of so cents
which, after July l, each road must
pay for each car not Its own, which
may be on Its lines.
In order to make the new rule more
effective the principle Of publicity Is
to be invoked through the instrument
tally Of the so-called Car Clearing
House recently established in chica-
90.
Through the new rule the chairman
Of the clearing house committee Is
now authorised to send to each Of the
members a statement comprising the
information already collected a. e

letter addressed to George q. Bowers
Of Orange, Iowa, Governor Cummins
declares President Roosevelt should
withdraw his statement that he will
not accept denomination. The let

WALL STREET "scAREs.v

Wall Street, the once considered
prosperity barometer of the country,
laboring under the delusion that it can
still film flam the country, has sent
forth the cry that President Roose-
velts administration has precipitated
crisis which can only end in panic.
The only thing. that can save the coun-
try from a disastrous panic, so Wall
Street says. is for President Roosevelt
to desist from his attacks" on the
corporations.
Poor old Wall Street! Such rea-
soning as that plainly shows that the
sucker minute ratio is still in exist
ence as far as little old New York is
concerned. An infant class could
teach Wall Street that Wall Street
panic does not mean panic for the rest
OF the country, but that a panic ex-
tending throughout the country does
mean a panic for Wall Street.
Wall Street, today. is undergoing a
Il
dent Roosevelt. AS matter of fact.
it is the corporations and stock inflat-
ors of Wall Street who have caused
all the so-called attacks upon corpora
tions. They have reared a rotten and
dishonest financial structure whose
foundations are waterlogged with
stocks having fictitious values.
Wall Street is reaping the financial
whirlwind il has sown. The rest of
the country is prosperous - big
crops, big business, everyone making
money on an honest basis. therefore.
no panic. Wall Street-poor securi-
ties, poor business, and every gambler
and son-of-a-gambler getting deeper
into its rotten financial mire trying to
uphold the tottering structure, and
a Wall Street panic.
The people are on to Wall Street,
and its denunciation of President
Roosevelt is the best recommendation
he could receive. He has tried to be
fair to Wall Street as well as to the
people, and Wall Street would have
none of it. To suit Wall Street, pres
ident must be fair to it alone and his
.dea of fairness must coincide with

CEMETERIES IMPROVED
BY THE ASSOCIATION
Much Good Work Has Been
Done at Milton.
WOMEN MOVING SPIRIT

Milton, Ind, Aug. 15.-The Gene
terry association has done great deal
of work on the two cemeteries since
its organization and this summer the
work has taken the form of beautify-
ing the burial places. The old or
South Side cemetery, has been put in
to better condition than it ever has
been and now is beautiful spot.
West Side cemetery is now receiving
the attention of the association. They
are planning to move the tool house
that has been an unsightly object to
less conspicuous place. The ladies
have worked increasingly in their eff
forts to beautify these two spots and
have succeeded well and deserve the
appreciation of the general public.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE SITUATION

The situation produced by the great
telegraph strike is undeniably danger
GUS. The United States is an enor-
nous country and does business on an
enormous scale. And this enormous
business is done chiefly through our
superb transportation and commune
cation systems. The San Francisco
business man can transact business
with the New York business man de-
spite the 5000 miles distance in less
than half an hours time by telegraph.
Another phase is the tremendous
amount of banking business that has
to be done by wire in order to keep
our wheels of commerce revolving.
The Importance of the telegraph in
our daily life is therefore very clear.
Equally clear is the fact that directly
or indirectly, all of us are likely to be
effected by the strike that is tying up
Geographic communication all over
the country. The manufacturers and
other business men are liable to be
greatly hampered in their business
operations. Should it's effect become
serious enough to cause them to cur
tail their business activities, the bur-
den will also fall upon their employees.
And thus 1t will go on down the line
effecting all of us.
Both the striking operators and the
telegraph companies are trying to gain
over public opinion. Public opinion
as yet. however, has not had time to
crystalize in favor of either one. The
causes leading up to the strike have
not as yet become sufficiently well
known for the public to form an opin
ion one way or the other. Possibly
one reason public opinion is so slow
in expressing itself is on account Of
the uncompromising attitude that has
been assumed from the start by both
parties to the controversy. Neither
the striking telegraphers nor the COM
panies will allow the question of arbi-
tration to enter into the affair. Both
express a wish that it will be fought
out to the bitter end. An attitude, by
the way, that does not show much con-
sideration on the part of either side
for the public, whose good opinion
both desire so eagerly. AS the issues
become clearer and the dangers from
the telegraph tieup become more ap-
parent, public opinion is bound to as
sert itself for the best and fairest way
for both parties out of the controversy.
Nor will public opinion tolerate bull
operators or the telegraph companies.

MERELY AN ORNAMENT.

1t used to be said, especially by
freight men, that the passenger SER
vice of any railroad was little but an
ornament. The freight department
had to furnish all the profit and the
more the freight department expend-
expended in that line the more was ex-
pended furnishing fast and luxurious
travel. Now that there is such wide
spread effort to cut passenger rates
and further losses are in sight an in
teresting set of new conditions opens
up for consideration of all parties.
