Life Insurance Company. which car
ried S502 600 OF the s1,17S,000 insur-
ance on the life OF e. o. Painter. to-
day declared that at the present time
he was sure enough evidence was be-
ing gathered from the many sources
available to show that Painter came
to his death from causes other than
of an accidental nature, and that In
his belief none of the companies hold
ing insurance on Painter, taken out
within the twelve months prior to his
death, would pay the claims for this
reason.
Being convinced that Painter mys-
teriously met his death and because
Of mysterious activities of the Painter
family regarding the autopsy on his
body, Wilcox stated, the insurance
companies were forced to clear up the
matter "decently, legally and erect
ively' to protect the companies and
their policyholders.

As far as the insurance companies
were concerned, Wilcox said. he could

the company he represents, and that
any investigation taken by II at the
present time was for the protection Of
his company and its policyholders. He
said 1t was his duty as State manager
for the company to seek the truth in
the affair, that those whom he repre-
scented as well as the public might
know
Wilcox fatty declared that the first
action taken in the investigation into
the death of Painter was not made BY
the insurance companies, and that
they took no action whatever until
they noticed pronounced activities on
the part of the Painter family and
the E. o. Painter Fertilizer Company
Immediately after the fact was known
that Painter had met his death.
Coroner to Hold Inquest.
Relative to the Injunction secured
by one Of the insurance companies
against the removal Of the organs of
Painter from Baltimore, Walter 1.
Lyman of the e. o. Painter Fertilizer
Company, stated that as far as he
knew nothing had been done regard
ing the disposition of the Painter or
gans, and that If any action had been
taken there he had no knowledge of II.
Coroner G. d. Abbott when asked
as to what would be done regarding
the removal of the organs from Ball
timore said he had received commu-
nication from representatives of GER
tain insurance companies in Balti
more asking authority to hold the
organs there, but that he had not re-
piled. He said that further than
holding the inquest here he had moth
ing more to do with the affair.

Farm Products 48
Per Cent Of Exports

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Accord-
ing to the figures of the Department
of Commerce, agricultural products
form but 4S per cent of the domestic
imports Of the United States in the
fiscal year 1913, against 81 per cent In
1910, 81 per cent in 1900. rs per cent
in 1890, and "a per cent in 1880. This
change Is due to the much larger in
crease in the value of manufactures
exported. The value of agricultural
products exported shows an actual
gain. The figures for 1918 are slightly
in excess of those of any earlier year
showing an increase of about 20 per
cent over those in 1880.
The chief agricultural products ex-
ported are raw cotton, meats, wheat,
corn, tobacco, live animals and fruits
cotton alone forming one half of the
grand total Of agricultural exports.
Cotton exports made their highest
record value In 1911-S5S5 900, 600
and for the first ten months of the
current fiscal year are S45, 100000 be-
low the high record figure for the
corresponding period in 1911.

.27,700 CHICAGO
WORKERS ARE
LOCKED OUT
Construction of $29,OOO,OOO
Buildings Halted by Failure to
Settle Masons' Strike.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-Twenty-
thousand seven hundred men were
locked out on incompleted buildings
in Chicago in the boycott against the
Building Trades Council instituted to
day by the Building Construction En-
ployers' Association.
Work on buildings costing $4,000
600 was stopped when contractors on
all buildings in the course Of con-
struction were notified that the lock
out exists.
The lockout was the result of the
failure to settle the strike of $50
stonemasons on the new Continental
and Commercial National Bank build
ing.
Every member Of the employers
association is under bond to obey or
ders of the executive committee and
keep the men from working as long
as the committee desires
The declaration of the lockout by
the employers admittedly viii cause a
labor war of large proportions. It
will involve thousands OF workers in
addition to the $4,000 automatically
is forced into idleness.
The contractors are backed by the
lumber dealers and others who fur
nished building supplies. Any con
tractor who violates the lockout order
will forfeit a bond and be blacklisted
by all other contractors in the organi-
cation.

SOUTH NORWALK. CONN, June
19.-Mrs. Fred Youngs, Of East Nor
walk. suddenly sat down on the side

the cart and raced his horse toward
the Youngs home.
When he reached the house and
started to help Mrs Youngs alight, he
found her clasping an S-pound baby
boy among the cans of milk. The
Youngs children ran out, peeked into
the wagon and shouted:
Ooh! Look what the milk mans

APPEAL CERTAIN
IN GUARANTEE
TRUST TRIAL
If Bankruptcy Action Is Pressed
Suit Will Go to United States
Supreme Court.

Attorneys for plaintiffs and defend
ant In the Guarantee Trust and Bank
ing Company case Thursday are try
ing to reach an agreement as to who
shall be named receiver for the corpo-
ration, and as to the status of the
business pending final outcome of the
litigation on appeal.
Judge Pendleton will issue an order
when the lawyers reach an agree
ment. Prospects are this will be late
Thursday.
When the suit was started holders
of investment bonds of the company
were notified of the state of affairs
and given their choice of paying in
stallments as they became due. or
holding payment pending adjudica-
ton, their bonds to remain in the
same status as at the beginning of
the legal action,
Appeal Is Certain.
The courts order Thursday is ex-
pected to determine just how far the
company can proceed in carrying on
its business, besides naming the re-
ceiver.
Appear is certain and efforts VIII be
made to get decision quickly from the
Supreme Court Of the State. Mean
while there is an action in involuntary
bankruptcy pending in the Federal
courts, and this may be pressed. If
so, the case may go to the United
States Supreme Court.
The case has been fought bitterly
since trial began May 5. Attorneys
say there is every prospect of a con-
tinued lively contest through the up
per courts.
Bondholders Few Here.
Holders of the investment bonds are
said to be comparatively few in At
lanta and in Georgia. Most Of the
sales have been in Northern States
It is these widely scattered investors
who are most interested in the out
come.
Briefly, the corporation offered
bond, sold on installments, yielding
q most attractive rate of interest. AL
legations of the plaintiffs, upheld by
the lower court yesterday, are that an
insufficient reserve was carried
against these bonds; that investments
of the corporation were not sound, and
that the very origin of the concern
was irregular in that owners of the
old company, which the Guarantee
took over, prohted unduly by the sale.

Declares He Feels Better AIOft
Than He Would in Mob in
Five Points.

Most "Steeplejacks' are said to be
content with their trade, but here's
one w. c. Ffcken, of 80 Ormond
Street, who isn't-he wants to be an
aviator, he says.
Mr.. Ficken was caught away up on
the flag pole which tops the History
Gambler Building.
Don't you feel rather skittish up
there? Isn't it pretty hot on that
pole? How in the world do you man
age to hold on with your knees in
that fashion," These were just a
few of the rapid-fire questions OF
the reporter which greeted Mr.. Ficken
as he slid gracefully down the pole
to pose CLOSE hand" for The Geor-
gan photographer.
Il feel better up there than 1 do
down here" replied he. Yes, far
better than if 1 was standing down
there in that mob at Five Points.
NO, things are not a bit different
up there (pointing up at the flag
pole) than they are hereto me.
THAT funny craze to leap off when
you are high up on a place like this
never has struck me. and I don't be-
ieye it ever will, although I've known
some good ones-old-tim ers-to GO
just that way. One of these l re
member well-a fellow climbed a big
smoke stack and actually jumped
right off into it when about halt
through with his job"
Il suppose you would like to fly
wouldn't you?" queried the reporter
taking a new tack
You bet l would" was the quick
reply. I've always wanted to ex-
plore the heavens just a little more
than l am able to do on the top oil
flag poles and the like. But suppose
can't, 50 I'll just jog along in the
same old way I've been doing it fol
20 years"
Mr.. Ficken says he is the Oldest
"steepejack" in Atlanta in point Of
service. He has been on practically
every big building in Atlanta ant
many big ones in other parts of tht
South.
