Telegraph Company
Fights Action.

Thousands of stockholders through
out the country az interested in the
affairs of the bankrupt Consolidated
Printing Telegraph Company, of 50
Shipman street, the assets of which
precipitated a legal battle today in
the local bankruptcy court when a
petition to put off the sale was made.
Referee Adams denied the motion to
postpone the sale. 1t will be conducted
at the Shipman street place tomorrow.
The fight is being waged by Trustee
Robert G. Brown, his attorney and
several creditors against Clarence E.
Bishop, of New York, who Is alleged
TO be engaging In an enterprise of his
own.
d. w Steel, attorney for Clarence T..
Bishop, Of New York, opposed the sale,
claiming to represent creditors who
wished TO reorganize the company. In
denying the motion Referee Adams
said:
1.-THE bankrupt company was adjudi-
Gated last October and your client had
ample time in which to arrange for the
purchase of the assets. The company
has not been doing business since last

Mr.. Steel repeatedly protested when
the referee declared the sale would SO

II do not think the Bankruptcy Court
should countenance any plan to assess
stockholders In order to gain control
of the company" ~
In a petition to the court later
Bishop, through his counsel, complains
that before he was able to complete

Mr.. Bishop purposes to use the list
of stockholders in circularizing them
to pay him fifty cents share and in

PRU POLICIES
REACH TOTAL
OF 2 BILLIONS
Last Years Insurance Amounts
ed to S4OO,OOO,OOO-Ten
Million Persons Insured.

According to the annual statement
just issued to its policyholders by the
Prudential Insurance Company, the to-
tai insurance issued by the company
in the past year reached the enormous
total of over $440. 100000. The number
of policies in force passed the 10,00O.0J1
mark, With total valuation of two
billions of dollars, during 1911. The to-
tai assets are given as 1853, 1886, 1917.
Prudential history has recorded an
other year of success and the results
have proven conclusively that insur-
ance Is q recognized household neces-
sity," said Forrest F. Dryden. presi-
dent of the company, in his statement
in reference to the work of the year.
"The expense rate has been reduced in
all departments, insuring an increased
income, yet, in spite of this fact. in
surance is one of the few items In the
family budget which costs less toda 3
than in former years"
During 1911 the Prudential paid
policy holders $27,OO0,00O. which raised
the amount paid out to policy holders
since the beginning of the company TO
nearly half billion dollars The in
come derived by the company totaled
something over S1s,ooO,ooo. The amount
of taxes paid 10 the State in 1911 was
in the nelghborhood of $15.oOo,OO0. In
speaking of the increase over the
amount paid in 1910, President Dryden
said: "rhe growing burden in taxes
materially offsets the saving in ex-
penses brought about by the most
stringent economy. Since all insurance
taxes are indirectly paid by the policy
holder. the question of overtaxation is
one Of truly momentous Importance TO
every policy-holder, whose hearty CO.

so that the law would read that "one

 The oversight of gardens was en- trusted to a superintendent and six assistants, each of them being given fifty gardens and required to go from garden to garden giving assistance and advice. The first two societies were dropped in June, two more the first of July, and another the first of Au- gust They started work two months before planting time.
 Two objections were made by all most every person who was urged to garden or who applied for a garden: one, that on account of inability to fence. chickens, dogs and vandaIs would destroy the garden; and that on account of the inability to water auders did leave them alone.
 It was soon discovered that no big dogs ran at large in the city, and that no danger resulted from that cause. Vandals could not be exc1ud- ed even by fences, but the extent of vandalism was so small as to ex- clude nobody from applying for a garden for 1912. The second objection was in reality none at all, for the dry farming method was adopted and i'm posed on members by providing a penalty in the competition for prizes. for the man who had applied artificial moisture. A garden was conducted in the heart of the city on what is commonly known as the hottest cor ner In A1nneapO1lS anu was dry farmed. The lot was wedged in be- tween biIl-boards, right in the glare of the sun and f1ourished all summer long.

 Aside from the big economic con sideration, more than 600 men and wo- men were given a chance to return to the. soil from which they came, or to go to the soil of which they knew nothing The gardens developed a and the sum rose daily this summer on hundreds of people hoeing, weed ing, killing cut worms or pruning to- matoes; hands dirty and faces glow
