International Policy Holders Commit

BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April THE Inter
national policy holders committee issued
statement today pointing out alleged
violations of the present insurance COM
panies' recent e!e ction of officers and
the alleged inetficiency of the depart
ment of insurance in conducting the
supervision of the election.
THE International committee" says
the statement has maintained for
months in both the Mutual and New
York Life canvass a force of watche -
and translators and every effort has
been made to protect the interests Of
policy holders who have voted against
the cid management, but the rulings Of
the inspectors hcve been so uniformly
against us and being fully satisfied
that it is impossil le under the present
conditions to secure fair count of the
votes as cast we withdrew our watch
ers.
From the beginning the companies,
with the assistance of the department
Of insurance, have evaded and nullified
in every way possible the law as en-
acted.
THE companies filed lists of policy
holders at Albany which contained
thousands of incorrect names with false
and misleading addresses while they
gave agents and canvassers not alone
the correct names and addresses but
the policy numbers of the insured"
This statement sets fortL. the various
forms Of irregularity charged and de-
clared it was practiced on wholesale
scale.
Illustration is given OF a family which
was recorded as casting five votes, the
cement adding:
Investigation showed that not a
member of the family voted in the re-
cent election and that they had not
resided at the stated address in over
two years.
Numerous cases developed where
agents had sent in proxies and ballots
bearing the names of policy holders
who had been dead for years, while
many ballots were cast bearing the
names of former policy holders who had
allowed their policies to lapse.

the department of insurance are re-

those of the robber.
A little later it was learned that ]. D.

earlier in the night. Mr.. Groat had
been awakened by the thief attempting
to enter the house, and then the man

LATE CHIEF ENGINEER GETS
ROYAL SEND-0FF
Declares That with Machinery Com.

other Facilities Advanced,
Canal Is Booming
Rv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
COLON, April John r. Stevens,
former chief engineer of the Panama
canal, was given a splendid sendoff last
night previous to his departure today
for the United States.
w. G.. Bierd, general manager of the
Panama railroad, acted as chairman.
Mr.. Stevens, in a speech, gave John F.
Wallace, whom he succeeded as chief
engineer, the credit for the organiza-
tion of the work.
Mr.. Stevens said he had only modi-
fed when necessary. He said the
preparations deemed necessary two
years ago were underestimated, and
though the working forces had since
been doubled they were still were in
adequate. But now. he declared, the
machinery had been completed, homes
had been provided for $4,000, there were
railroad facilities for handling over n
million yards of earth monthly and the
organization was so advanced that it
was possible to carry on the work in
both dry and wet seasons.
He said he firmly believed the canal
would be opened in January, 1915 He
did not seek the position, and was leav-
ing it of his own voition.
Mr. Stevens asked his local friends
not to take their complaints to WASH
ington but to make them to Maj. Goe-
thals, the new chairman of the canal
commission, for whom he solicited the
same loyalty as had been given him.
Just before sailing today Mr.. Stevens
was presented with a two-volume tcs-
timonial signed by American and other
employees of the canal, expressing their
loyalty to him. The employees also sub
scribed for three gifts intended to be
handed down by Mr.. Stevens to his

City Council of the City of Los Angeles:
"The undersigned citizens and tax
payers hereby protest against the ac-
tion of the council i'm raising the
amount of license tax fixed by section
2S of ordinance No S097 IN. 81, and
ask that the mayor veto the same and
that Il be rescinded by the council for
the following reasons:
"F'irst-That any occupation tax is

and out of all proportion to amount of

would reduce the amslnt Of revenue,

Incensed Against Indtfer-

Mrs. Frank DeMarko, aged 65 years,
was seriously injured yesterday morn
ing by being run down by a motorcycle
at Twelfth and Main streets while
crossing the street.
Mrs. DeMarko was on her way to her
home at Twelfth and Los Angeles
streets AS she started across Main at
Twelfth street sha saw a motorcycle
approaching at a high speed. Think
ing she would have time to cross ahead
of it she hurriedly started on. Just as
she reached the middle of the street
she was struck by the machine.
Mrs. DeMarko saw she would be hit
and screamed but was helpless to get
out of the way. 1t is said by specta-
tors of the accident the motorcyclist
made no attempt to avoid running the
ewoman down but left 1t for her to get
out Of the way. After striking the
woman the man did not stop to see how
badly she was injured, but increased
the speed of the machine and was
quickly out of reach before anyone
had time TO stop him.
Witnesses of the accident carried the
woman to a neighboring house, where
she was given all possible relief unit
an ambulance arrived to take her tC

DeMarko was found to have sustained
a fracture of the left hip and a slight
conclusion of the brain.
Efforts are being made by the police
to find the man who ran over the WO'
man. Witnesses Of the accident say
the man was going much faster thar
the ordinance allows and was Grim
inally careless as we'll. The manner
in which he rode on without stopping
