FIGHT THE OFFICERS.
Internal Feud Begins i'm N. n. Burial
Association.

An internal fight of stockholders in
the North American Burial Insurance
company of Topeka which was or
ganiZed the fOrepart of this year un-
der the laws of Kansas has been pre-
cipitated in a suit brought by c. "A.
Dudley; a stockholder. against the
North American Burial association
and the Security Agency and Invest
ment company in the court of Topeka.
This is the first Of a large number of
other suits, which 1t is claimed will be
directed against the officers of the
company. who it is claimed, have dis
sipated the funds.
The Burial association was capt.
talized at $4,000. A B. Headington,
IS president, c. E Sanger, vice preSf-
dent, p. S. Bangs, secretary and D. L.
Whitney, treasurer. Children from two
to ten years of age were insured at
cents per month and adults up to IS
years of age. The company. though
only organized a few months, 1t is said
did q big business over the state, but
several of the stockholders claim that
the officials who headed it have man
aged it to their own profit and with
out regard to the interests of those
who invested their money in the stock
w. A. S. Bird fled suit in behalf of
c. A Dudley and stated that he repre-
scented a number of other stockhold-
ers. -
That said the North American
Burial Insurance company of Topeka,
Kansas, by some secret plan or ar
rangement disposes of its capital stock
to persons by and through the agency
of said the Security Agency and In
yestment Co, which said company rep-
resents that both-4of said companies
represent The said North American
Burial Insurance company That the
said North American Burial Insurance
company sold to the above named
plaintiff two shares of its capital stock
for the sum of thirty dollars. That
soon after the purchase of said stock
by said plaintiff, said plaintiff became
convinced that said companies We're
not transa citing their business in
legitimate and legal manner and that
both of said companies were insolvent
and could not and did not pay their
Just legal liabilities
Plaintiff further says that he is
convinced that the funds secured
from the sale of the capital stock of
the North American Burial Insurance
company have been dissipated and
that said burial company is being
grossly mismanaged and that it is i'm
possible for him to tell which of said
companies is really doing said burial
Insurance business"
Dudley states that he asked for the
return of his money and that a check
was rendered in payment on the
Shawnee State bank. But that when
he presented the check which was
signed by c. +. Sanger it was pro-
tested and payment refused.

The routing of cars from the end of
the Washburn line via Clay street to
Tenth avenue and thence to North To-

would supplement the cars which
already run between Washburn and

another depression of more pronounc-
ed type and at 1112 East Eighth, just
opposite the headquarters of the East
Side Civic Improvement association
there is a trench, which forms a good
example of the way pavement is ruined
by improper repair. 1t is fully four
inches deep and every vehicle which
passes over it is threatened with be-
ing wrecked. The length is fully 20
feet.
At the intersection of Eighth avenue
and Monroe on the north side of the
street the pavement has been gouged
out in places for about four inches and
raised at others. A trench made by one
of the telephone companies was not
properly filled and the paving brick re-
placed as it should. Heavy loads pass
ing over the improperly filled trench
have fitted climax to the story.
On West Eighth avenue the plumbing
inspector can find faulty places in the
brick pavement opposite the numbers
at SIT, 521 and sos. All of these were
caused by excavations. Opposite to the
alley between Clay and Fillmore are
two depressions in the pavement about
three feet across each and four inches
deep. They invite broken springs to the
unwary driver.
On Clay street running all the way
from Seventh to Eighth avenue, the
pavement has sunk perceptibly due to
a trench.
Two places on East Second street, be-
tween Kansas avenue and Quincy. two
on the same street between Kansas
avenue and Jackson street.
