CORN SYRUP.
Decision in Its Favor by Secs. Wilson,

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE following
decision was made public today by
Secretaries Wilson. StrauS and Cor
telyou.
We have each given careful consid-
Grafton to the labelling under the pure
food law OF the thick viscous syrup
obtained by the incomplete hydrolysis
Of the starch of corn and composed eS-
sentially Of toxtrose. maltese and dex-
tIine.
In our opinion it is lawful to label
this syrup as corn syrup and if to
the corn syrup there is added small
percentage of refincrs syrup, a pro-
duct of the cane. the mixture in our
judgment, in our mind is not mis-
branded if labelled corn syrup with
cane flavor"

Jackson Wants-the
Mutual Dissolved.

New York. Feb. 14:-State ATTORNEY
General William S jackson announced
today that he has decided to ask for
the appointment of a receiver for the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Co. The
legality of certain liens imposed upon
policies has been questioned by the au-
thOritieS
Attorney General jackson said his
decision to ask for Il receiver was
based on the report of State Superin-
tendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey, who
commended that the company is insol-
vent. That report gave the company's
liabilities as S5,41S,717. Mr. Kelsey adj
mitted that the company had assets
of SO, iO1 ,602 leaving defici: of ST.
717,l14. OF this alleged deficit $500, 900
was in the value of real estate owned
by the company and $S00.00U was in
liens against the policies of the insured
The officers of the company claimed
these as an asset but Mr.. Kelsey would
not allow it.
The company has $1,000 policyholders.
some of whom had formed a committee
to secure the dissolution of the COM
pany and distribution of it's assets.
Following the legislative insurance in
vestigation. several officers of the Mutual
Insurance Co. were indicted on charges
Of larceny of the funds Of the company
and of forgery. George Burnham, Jr.
vice president and counsel. was convict
ed of larceny but the conviction was
reversed ard new trial ordered.
Much criticism of the company was
made by rolicyhoders during the insur-
ance investigation on the ground that,
finding the company burdened with poll
cies issued at rates insufficient to pay
the cost of carrying the policy, the COM
pany had established liens against the
policies by which the amount to be paid
at death or maturity was gradually re-
duced.
Albany, Feb disappointment Otto
Kelsey of the state insurance department
gave out tonight the report of the de-
partment examiners, Nelson B. Hadley
and Charles Hughes, upon the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance Co. together
with statement. The examiners say
among other things:
I'm our opinion it is impossible to in
any wise ascertain what the equities are
as between the policyholders. We found
tie last annual statement was both false
and misleading. A statement of liabili-
ties was not reported and large amount
OF assets that we believe are of no val
ne to the company were reported as
available assets.
an our opinion, in 1905 the records
of this company show that it was i'm
possible for the company to carry out
its. contracts, $780, -,

ANOTHER MORSE SUIT.
Continental Finance Co. Doesn't Want
To Pay $4,000 Note.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE Continental
Finance Co began an action today
against Charles A. Hanna as, receiver
of the National Bank of North Ameri-
ca and Charles w. Morse, asking the
court to prevent the receiver from col
lecting a 100000 note or disposing Of
1000 shares of stock of the American
Ice Securities Co, until an accounting
may be had in connection with the

American Ice Securities Co, and the
promise that the note which the bank,
through it's receiver, now attempts to
enforce, should never be presented for
payment. The complaint also alleged
that other similar notes were secured
by Morse under the. same representa-
tons and We're hypothecated by the
National Bank Of North America.
