Columbian National Bidder-H0t
Fight on Inter-Southern.

Another report was in circulation yesterday
regarding the negotiations for the sale of the
controlling interest of the Provident Savings
Life Assurance Society This report said that
the persons interested in obtaining the Provi-
dent stock for the Inter Southern Life Insurance
deposit TO bind their bid.
This, however. was denied last evening by
Royal Victor, of Sullivan & Cromwell. attorneys
for the banks holding the thousand
shares Of Provident to be sold. He said that
such deposit had been made In reply TO
question Mr. Victor said: Negotiations are on
with several parties, not particularly the Inter
Southern. There might be announcement
To make next week"
Now whether the r-Southern is still a
factor in the negotiations for the control OF the
Provident or whether other interests are con-
ducting the deal which if successful. Will turn
the Provident over TO the Louisville institution
the fact is that there is a growing opposition
to turning the Provident the Inter
Southern.
The first protest against the consummation
Of the deal came from E E, Rittenhouse In
surance Commissioner of Colorado The
surance is had now that the Insurance commits
sioners of other states will join Mr.. Rittenhouse
in this protest Also there is afoOt movement
for the organization Of committee of policy
holders of the Provident voice their protests
against any action for the disposition of the
Providen1 stock without the guarantee that
their interests will be preserved.
Commissioner Rittenhouse yesterday signifed
his Willingness TO serve on this committee. There
is certain to be a strong fight against the
QUESTION Of the Provtdent by the Inter-South-
ern
It is said that the plan is for the present
officers of the Inter-Southern to retire in favor
of those furnishing capital This, Of
course, is in case their negotiations are sue
cessful. II was learned that one Of the other
companies seeking 10 buy the Provident stock
is the Columbian National Life Insurance Com
pany. of Boston.
AS matters now stand. IL is said in insurance
circles that only Superintendent Kelsey OF the
New York Insurance Department has the orn-
cial right 10 interfere with any contemplated
disposition of the Provident interests because
of the revocation OF its license by the tnsur-
ance departments of other states
