FORGERY CHARGED
IN RISK BALLOT.
International Policy Holders Committee
Would Set Aside the Elec-
+iou

NEW YORK, April 8.-Charging the
use of forged ballots and fictitious names
to the administration Of both the New
York Life and the Mutual Life insur-
ance companies and collision to inspec-
tors in the employ Of the state insurance
department, the international policy
holders committee has declared its in
tention to institute proceedings to set
aside the election last fall and to secure
the conviction in criminal proceedings of
all officers and agents said to be involved
in the procurement of unlawful ballots.
District Attorney Jerome will take up
the complaint as soon as the ThaW trial
is over, and prosecutors in more than
half the states in the union will be asked
to lay the evidence before their respec-
tive grand juries.
The charges made are in the shape of
affidavits which representatives OF the
policy holders committee have been
gathering for weeks.
Fight Into Courts.
That the international committee in
tends to carry the fight over the elections
into the courts is evident from the fact
that all of the committees watchers
have been withdrawn firm the vote cam
vassing quarters. This was done Satur-
day.
The $50 day inspectors have been
canvassing votes since December Is, and
the prospects for long run yet are good.
From now on the inspectors who were
appointed by the state superintendent Of
insurance, Otto Kelsey, and the com
panies' watchers will conduct the can
VasS alone.
Here are some of the instances of
forged ballots as given by Manager
Scrugham of the policy holders commit
tee, and backed up by the aftidavits
David Krebs of 166 East Seventy
second street, went into the offices of the
international committee on December IA,
1906, and made out a ballot which was
formally cast on December IS. In the
course Of the canvass a forged Pea
body" ballot bearing Krebs' name, pol
icy number, and home address was found
and counted by inspectors.
Ethan l.. Reynolds of Delton, Wis,
owner of policy 1,113,44O, voted for the
Life on October 30, 1906, the ballot be-
ing witnessed by L. o. Bass This bal
lot was counted as void by inspectors,
and it is alleged that a forged "Peabody"
ballot was counted as good. The forged
ballot bears the same address and policy
number, is dated December IS, 1906, and
purports to have been witnessed by II.
G. Clisbe.
The ballot of Alexander Rida of 1872
Commerce street, New Haven, was
counted for the administration ticket un-
der practically the same circumstances
He voted the united committees ticket
on November q, 1906, and his signature
was witnessed by his wife. The alleged
forgery is dated October Is. 1906. and
bears the name of George Z. NettIeton
as witness.

GERMAN TARIFF STANDS
MINIMUM RATES CONTINUE UNDER
MODUS VIvENDI.
Joint Commission VIII Consider Complex
Water Boundary Question Between
Canada and States.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April s. -
Baron Won Sternberg, the German am
bassador, and Secretary Root have
reached the basis of a modus vivendi
which will continue to American goods
imported into Germany the privilege of
minimum tariff rates. This arrange
ment is temporary in character, being in
tended to prevent a break in the present
tariff rates on American goods until such
time as Congress may have had an OPP
portunity to pass upon a permanent
treaty regulating commerce between the
two countries.
1t was officially admitted today that
a treaty had been drafted between the
United States and Great Britain provd-
ing for the appointment of a joint com
mission which will consider all Of the
complex questions connected with the
water-boundaries between Canada and
the United States.
This treaty will require the approval
of the Senate, but it is possible that an
arrangement in the nature of modus
vivendi will be reached between Secre-
tary Root and Ambassador Bryce.

SUE E. H. HARTMAN
FOR ALTON RUIN.
Advice Of Attorney General of Illinois in
Report to Governor--State Ac-
ton Peril0us.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April S.-Attor-
ney General Stead, after a thorough in
vestigation of the gold bricking" of pur-
chasers of Chicago & Alton stock, has
reached the conclusion that E. II. Harri-
man, George J. Gould, James Stillman,
and Mortimer L. Schiff are liable for
damages for their manipulations, chart
tably called ''fnanciering, OF that rail
road property.
He intimates also that they are Grim
inally liable and asserts that the charter
of the road can be revoked by the state.
His advice, however, is that stockhold-
ers who have been deceived into buying
stock on which no dividends can be made
because of the heavy debts contracted
by the road bring suit for damages
against Hartman and his associates.
States Right Is Clear
The right of the state to act is made
clear, but so also are the consequences.
AS was pointed ont when the state first
took up an investigation of Harriman's
manipulations of the road, Mr.. Stead
declares the state authorities face the
certainty of bringing disaster to the in
nocent purchasers if an attempt be made
to proceed civilly against the tinanciers.
Urges Stockholders to Act.
If the charter should be revoked the
stockholders also would suffer. Mr..
Stead advises the purchasers themselves
to institute action on the ground that
they have been defrauded.
A long statement of the Chicago &
Alton manipulations and their result are
incorporated in a letter which the attor
ney general has submitted to Gov. De
neen. The two officials have been over
the figures together, and both now are
studying them further.

agonizing diseases, is in Bellevue hos
pital with his mental faculties weak as

Three years ago the man was struck
on the head and a lesion of the brain de-
veloped. Two weeks after he had been
injured he developed epilepsy. Paralysis
followed. Then came motor aphasia,
and then loss of speech.
Surgeons, after they had found Kane
to be sane, removed the top of the mans
skull and performed daring feats in sur
gerry. They explored every cavity of his
brain and then waited.
Three days later Kane could speak,
and now he is on the road to recovery.

Inelr comrades out OF the ruins, While
scores of others turned their attention to
the fat houses to which the fire had
spread.
Pathetic Death of Ryan.
Capt, Ryan was the first man taken
out. He was horribly crushed, but still
alive when taken out, and laid on the
ground in the rain. There a priest knelt
by his side and administered the last sac
raments moment before Ryan died.
One by one the other fremen were dug
out and hurried away to hospitals. In
the meantime the fire in the car barn had
practically burned itself out, and the fiat
houses in the rear had been damaged to
the extent of $4,000 Three hundred
open cars valued at $4,000 each which
had been stored in the barn were de-
stroyed. :.

ARE NOW SUED.
Latest "Tanauver of Plaintiffs in Chris

Is Incompetent.

CONCORD, n. H., April Ga supple
mental bill in equity called forth by the
recent announcement that the property
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy had been
transferred to three trustees was filed in
the Merimac county court today by the
original compliments or "next friends"

Eddy's rrlperty.
TIE bill flied today is the answer of
tie compiainantS to the motion made by
the defendants last Tuesday, that the
three trustees, Archibald Mcclellan of
Boston, Henry NJ Baker of Bow, and Jo-
siah E. Fernald of this city, be substitute
ed for tEe next friends" and be empow-
ere1 to prosecute the suits against the
defendants in the case, who are all prom
inent Hnembers of the Christian Science
church
Trustees as Defendants.
The answer, in the form of a supple
mental petition, asks that the three trus-
tees be added to the list of defendants
on the ground that the trustees are
working for the same end as the orig
inal defendants, that is, that they are
unduly influencing Mrs. Eddy and man
aging her property to their own pur-
poses.
Mrs. Eddy Still Incompetent.
The bill also asks that the deed Of
trust be vacated on the ground that
Mrs. Eddy was not competent to execute
it and it was a device cOntrlyed by the
defendants to defeat the original suit.

ing the original defendants and three
trustees shall appear in court on Apnl
