the most careful and painstaking work
that 1t was possible to make any de-
cisions at all The Orpington, Rock
and Red classes were so marvelouslS
good that any one Of a half dozen birds
In every class was good enough to win
first at an average Southern show and
the matter of picking the very best
from among so many specimens which
were so very good was puzzling to the
judges and it took time. thought and
hard work.
With the tags up to show the owner
ship of the birds and the tickets an
nouncing the winners, the show has be-
come particularly interesting. Specta-
tors can now tell the birds from the
Owen Farm, which did an $4,000 bust
ness last year; of the Aldrich Poultry
Farm, that has spent $1,000 in tho last
couple Of years for White Orpingtons

INSURANCE FIRM
TANGLE IN COURT.
Officers Of Cosmopolitan Life
Deny Fraud in Organization
and Loose Management.

Affairs Of the Cosmopolitan Life In
surance COMPANY Atlanta's newes'
company. with S1,3o0ooo Of insurance
In force, are being aired before Supe-
rior Judge Bell as result OF receiver
ship and injunction suits filed by cred
itors and dissatisfied stockholders. The
suits charge the officers Of the company
and Joel F. Armistead, general agent
with fraudulent organization methods
and gross mismanagemen calculated
to wreck the company These allega =
cations are denied in toto by the com
pany's management
The case has been complicated by
the action Of stockholders representing
approximately $l250o0 Of the com
, pany's capital who have petitioned In
surance Commissioner w. A. Wright
asking that the state intervene under
the new insurance statutes and take
over the oompany's affairs
The chief allegations in the original
suit brought by Dan Sudderth, 4 for
mer salesman for the company, and A.
Griffin, stakeholder, are directed
against the company's methods of or
ganization 1t is maintained that Joel
Armistead, present general agent. who
organized the company, took 1865 IL
shares Of capital stock for his promo
ton commission, giving his personal,
note unsecured for s5S6825 This
amount OF stock is said to be worth
S466,55 at a par value Of 500 a share,
but as the stock was sold two for one,
Armistead's holdings represent 1898, 100
The company is capitalized at 81 900
600, but the stock sold two for one 10
give the organization a capital of 81. -
100000 and a reserve Of the same
amount
ET Extravaganza Is Denied.
In answer made to the court the off
GERS Of the company and Armistead
deny that the latter's purchase of stock
was fictitious and assert that Armistead
already has paid into the company
100000 and has anticipated the pay
ment on his 1913 notes.
1t is charged that the officers of the
company c. l.. Anderson, e. NJ. Vow,
j. S. Hollingshead, Paul TrammelI, Ed
NJ Hafer, Joseph Hirsch Thomas B.
Lumpkin and others, have been extrav-
agant in the management and reduced
the assets of the company to $4,000,
This the officers deny, and list the
Company's quick assets at 100000.
Armistead, ii is maintained, has a
contract with the company to get 90
per cent of the first years premiums on
insurance and ten. per cent thereafter.
1t Is this phase that the state officers
are expected to investigate. Affidavits
OF Commissioners Wright and Copeland
introduced in court assert that such
contract would be ruinous to the COM
pany's affairs, ultimately wrecking the
concern.
The officers and the management Of
the company deny the existence of ex-
actly such a contract, but maintain that
Armistead, who personally assumes the
expenses of solicitation of insurance,

Here are the results of the rounds:

Bedell failed to break clean sew

none Of the blows did any damage.
There was the usual difference Of
opinion after the match as to the re-
suit, Perth Amboyans and many Of
the out-of-town fans thought Bedell
won by a big margin. There were
also man. who considered It a draw.
Some Of the Staten Island fans be-
lieved 1t a draw. Very few Island
ers claimed that their favorite won.
BedeIl, in the opinion of nearly all,

By determination, perseverance
and his clever boxing in six fast
rounds of milling, Young Bedell, the
Pride Of Perth Amboy," shaded
Mike Maize, the lightweight cham
pion Of Staten Island, at the Permo
A. A. stag in the Auditorium last
night. 1t was a pretty battle and
both boxers were in the best Of trim.
Young Bedell's work last night ap-
peared to be a big improvement over
his last bout when he and Mike Ma
zie tough a slashing draw.
~Thunderous applause greeted the
two main mltt artists of the evening
when they were introduced and an
swered the gong. Owing to Referee
Monroe's interests In Mazie's camp,
Referee Dave Hennesey, OF New
Brunswick, OBLIGATED.
Both boys started off with a rush,
but Bedell landed the first telling
punch, a cyclone left to the food box.
The Bedell crowd cheered like mad
when the pride OF Perth Amboy"
followed up and kept the Staten Is
land champion lightweight hanging
on. Bedell had the first round all his
own way.
The second round started similar
to the first, Bedell being the more
aggressive. Maize still hung on to
Bedell In every opportunity and did
not seem to be the same boy who SO
%cleverly, in former bouts, got away
with his men. This round was also
Bedell's.
In the third Maize met the rush of
Bedeu and both went to 1t at a live
ly clip. They had the crowd OF edge
and the crew of Staten Islanders
now found their opportunity to yell
for Maize who, for the first time In
the bout, came back strong. Both
fought speedily and, while the South
Beach boy, encouraged by his better
showing, swung more, each landed
about the same number of decisive
blows. It was in this round that
members of the Permo A. A. for the
first. time saw Mike Maize fall. Not
once before in q Permo A. A.. stag
a the Staten Island boy been
knocked down or otherwise fallen.
1t was after the boys clinched and
Referee Hennesey separated the two
that Maize, in going back, slipped
and fell. He was Immediately on his
feet. When the gong sounded the
round was even. The Staten Island
rooters were awaiting the next ses-
sion, as they believed Maize was be-
ginning to score and expected Be-
dell would weaken.
Contrary to expectations. the
pride of Perth Annoy" started of
like a cyclone in the fourth round
and had the better OF 1t throughout
the inning. Bedelrs footwork in
this round was clever and he landed
several blows before Maize succeed
ed In finding him. Marie also showed
clever work, ducking to fine advant-
age, but he could not land enough to
count. He was swinging too much
for the blows he landed and this
seemed to worry him as Bedell was

Through the showing that the
South River baseball nine made Sun
day afternoon against the Bridge
port team, it appears as If they are
not wholly unjustified in claiming
a series OF games with New Bruins
wick. Dave Driscoll's crew defeated
Bridgeport 10 and the South River
ties held the Bridgeport crew IL for
fourteen innings . According to the
dope which one gathers from these
accounts, the claims of the New
Brunswick fans and Dave Driscoll
that South River ia entirely out of
the college town squads class, are
unfounded. 1t may be, and prob
ably is, true that D%riscoll's bunch
could defeat the Rfverites, but we
are not SO certain that it would be
a walk-away.
South River has, without doubt,
one of the classtest aggregat1ons in
the county. It has defeated sew

they, like the conductor, didn't rec
