Two hours passed and the excite

MONEY WON'T
MAKE TEAM

NEW YORK, March 12.-The Amer
lean Olympic committee has put sud
den and emphatic quietus on any at
tempt by athletes or their friends to
buy their way into the Olympic team
by offering to pay their own expenses.
A unanimous ruling by the committee
declares that the committee will, un,
der no circumstances, accept money
to pay the expenses of any athlete the
donor might name"
The committee instructed its secre
tary to inform clubs or others seeking
such privileges that if an athlete is
qualified to make the team he will be
selected, and any offer to pay his ex
penses will have no effect in the Sc
lections made.
This action was made necessary be
cause of the offers from prominen
Western clubs and many Western uni
versities to contribute amounts equa
to what would constitute the outlay
necessary to defray the expenses o
the men they would like to name.

HAS RESIGNED
TENNES6EAN RETiRES FROM

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Mar. IL
Foster V. Brown, encouragement OF
Porto Rico, has forwarded his re
signation to President Taft. He an
nounces that he will resume law
practice al Chattanooga.
The house Of delegates unanimous
ly voted today to cable President
Taft asking that a native be appoint

Members of the house believe
there are a number OF Porto Ricar

Foster v. Brown was born al

attended Cumberland University

Who Paws the Freight?

While It Is a fact that there are doZ-
ems of legal reserve or "old line lie
insurance companies doing business
in America today that are as safe as
the United States government when IL
comes to meeting their obligations,
and not one Of them has ever failed 10
meet an honest obligation, 1t is also
a fact that not one Of them issues
contracts that are as liberal as those
of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company-guarantees as many privi-
Ieoes. 1t Is q fact also that no priv
ilege of any recognized value embrac-
ed in the contract Of any OF the old,
established companies Is not embrac-
ed in those Of the Mutual Benefit, and
II Is also a fact that the Mutual Ben
eft contracts embrace a number OF
Valuable Features that no other COM
pany offers. No company has a reputa-
ton equal to that Of the Mutual Bene-
fit of giving each individual member a
square deal regardless Of whether or
not he knows his rights. 1t has never
had to be forced to- give square deal
by recourse to law, but has always,
during the 81 years Of its existence,
done so voluntarily. In view OF the
fact that the policy holder pays the
freight 1t Is a duty he owes himself to
buy the best, and he cannot get 1t ex-
cept from the Mutual Benefit. A care
full investigation will convince the
most skeptical.
