NO RECEIVER FOR
THE EQUITABLE
United States Supreme Court
Sits Down Upon the Appli-
cation of ]. w. Brown.

Washington. March 1.-The supreme
court of the United States today re-
veTsed the decision of the United States
court of appeals for the Second circuit,
directing the court for the Southern
district of New York to hear the case
of J. Wilcox Brown vs.. the Equitable
Assurance society, involving charges OF
Acknowledgement
Justice Peckham. who announced to-
days decision, said the court had con-
Guided that there was no cause for Mr..
Browns action and held that he was
entitled neither to an accounting nor
to the appointment of a receiver.
Mr.. Brown claimed TO represent him
self and the 5000 other policyholders.
He asked for the appointment of re-
ceiYer and general accounting. alleg-
ing that all the policyholders were en-
titled to participate in the division of
the surplus. He contended that the dis
tribution of profit had not been as ex-
tensive as it should be.
He charged, indeed. that Si0,000,000
more than was necessary had been re-
tanned in the treasury Of the society
and that the maintenance Of so large
sum there had resulted in extTavagant
salaries and other Wasteful eXpendi-
lures. The circuit court dismissed the
bill on q. demurrer. but the court of ap-
peals held that as the bill alleged frauds
the company must make answer or al
low the case to be decided on fits merits.
Opinion of the Court.
In the course of his opinion. Justice
Peckham considered the effect of d de-
cision along the lines of Mr.. Browns
contention. saying:
Even if a court of equity had jur-
isdiction we must consider the result
of a decree in accordance with Mr..
Browns complaint. The corporation is
one of the largest in the world, with
more than half a million pOlicyhOlders,
with almost incalCulable outstanding
risks and assets and liabilities and sur
plus reaching into hundreds of mill
lions.
To place the institution in the hands
of a receiver while it is paying prompt
~ all of it's obligations and with I'M
doubted resources to continue to pay
them, and is daily engaged in taking
new BUSINESS under a different manage
ment, would be a premature and wholly
unnecessary ending of the defendant
and one which it would be mild TO char
acterize as ruinous to the interests of
hundreds of thousands of people, and
really beneficial TO none

Want a Jail at Cusick

Justice of the Peace J. NJ. Mer-
rick, by request, has circulated "a
petition asking the county commits
soners to build calaboose in
tusick. A calaboose is made nee
essary by the influx OF hoboes and
bad men following in the wake of
the railroad construction camps.
They blow into Cusick, fill up on
harleyized Pend Oreille water, and
keep the Indians across the river
awake nights by their bowling and
screening. All last week there
were a number OF highly decorated
and discolored eyes floating around

SIS to Washington

No news that has been received
by the people of Washington and
Oregon during the last "a months
is so important as the announce
ment that the trans continental
railroads will make rate, begin
ming March | and continuing until
April 30, from Kansas City
Omaha, ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Winnipeg and other similarly sit
ueted towns to all main line rail
road points in the two states for
$25. The people OF no state in the
Union have prof1ted more by these
one-way tickets than have those OF
" ashington during the past four
wears. The rate from Chicago is
1913. from St. Louis $50. SO, with a
proportionate low fare from all
points in the United States. This
should add many thousands OF
actual settlers to the population Of
the Pacific northwest. These are
one-way tickets, and if travellers
desire to return TO their former
homes in the older eastern states
they would have to pay full fare.
Every commercial club and adver-
Using bureau in the state, as well
as every real estate firm, should
begin Immediately TO advertise
these rates. Every citizen should
write personal letters to old friends
and acquaintance, reminding
them that the rate is good to their

An attempt was made to liberate
the prisoners at the Bonner county
jail at Standpoint last week, A
man named Chamberlain, who was
sent up from Newport for stealing
some jeweIry from one of the Old
Town sporting women, Struggled
some saws to Il prisoner named
Burke. The saws were hidden in
a tray of food sent from one of the
Standpoint restaurants.
Sheriff Merritt received a tip
that saws had been Struggled to the
prisoners and started a search.
Five saws We're discovered by the
officials in the cell occupied by
Burke and a man named Howard
But little damage was done. as the
inner walls of the Jail are of excel
lent construction and the saws
would have had hut little effect on
them. Ii the prisoners could have
had chance to work on the outer
corridor there might have been a
Jail delivery.
Chamberlain disappeared short
ly after having passed the food to
prisoners. Circulars have been
sent out to the authorities in all
directions offering reward for his
arrest
Burke and Howard are consid-
cred bad men by the Bonner coun-
ty authorities. Burke was placed
in Jail for passing bogus checks on
various Standpoint business men.
He has been identified by detec-
tives as having been implicated in
a hold-up at Standpoint.
