ugly STATE OF AFFAIRS
Painter Life Insurance Contest is of
Vital Interest to All the
People

The following letter was sent to
the Star. on request, from a we'll
known attorney, who is probably
better acquainted than any other
man with the inside facts of the
Painter case. He wishes his name
withheld from print, but is ready to
back up his statements if necessary.
The editor of the Star has known
him for twenty-five years, and has
never known him to make a rash or
prejudiced statement in regard to
any public affair:
Jacksonville. Fla, June %. 1913.
Editor Star: No man who knew
Mr.. E. Q. Painter believes for one
moment that he committed suicide
There was. absolutely no motive. If
he contemplated it, and was sharp
enough to procure a large insurance
with that in view. he certainly would
have delayed suicide six or eight
months longer, until the policies
were lncontestable according to their
terms. There is no evidence of sui
eide except that he was largely -in-
.sured. A dozen good citizens, whose
evidence we have, saw him fall over
board while sick at his stomach and
trying to vomft, as we all do occas-
ionaHy. They saw him struggle in
the water, swimming and floating
alternately, as he was advised to do
by those nearest to him. They saw
him obey various suggestions and
finally drown in the wash of a yacht,
which went TO his rescue.
Circulating Suicide Stories
In the face of all this, the insur-
q NJ
body was recovered, began to cir
|culate suicide stories, and have kept
il up ever since. They prompted
the empannelling of the coroner's
jury, even though there was no law
for it. Their attornies guaranteed
the coroner's costs and expenses,
amounting now to thousands of dol
lars, which they have paid. They OBJ
tanned and paid for DR.. Glasser's in
vestigation and report, made under
authority of the coroner and appar-
emily in their interest. When this
report was found to give E. o. Paint
er a clean bill of health, they were
disappointed and began the suit in
Baltimore for the exclusive possess
sion of the parts.
DR. Glasser has been fair enough
to allow the doctors representing the
Painter family to be present and
check up his work They seek only
a private and one-sided examination,
at which their doctors may. be pres
ent. and which shall be made for
their sole benefit. The result of such
an examination you can guess as
we'll as l. Expert testimony seems
to be cheap and varied in this coun-

The Painter family has no facts il
needs to conceals Every precaution
it has taken has been to preserve the
integrity of the remains and to get
at the whole truth and prevent the
truth from being suppressed These
precautions have been perverted into
acts of concealment by the companies
through purchasable press.
Suspicious Incident
The old watchman. Mr.. HIlditch.
al the Painter factory, was recently
pounded into insensibility. from
which he nearly lost his life, By men
evidently seeking information at the
plant
Some of the insurance people said
the company vas insolvent and that
Mr.. Painter took some chemical kept
at the factory. They had demanded
access and Information as to all the
plant and been refused on the
ground that the company had FUR
nished them a public auditors ac-
count as TO every item. Since the
proof is not clear, the sand-bagging
of the watchman may remain a
mystery. The man was not robbed
Some companies have used fairer
methods than others and have not
Joined in the dastardly things that
some representatives have done.
Business in Good Shape
Unquali6edly Mr.. Painters affairs
were in the best shape they ever
were He was not hard up as claim
ed. The company stock was way
above par, business was the best
ever, credit at the banks was almost
unlimited, and his health was good
as far as he knew.
Mr.. Painter was able to carry all
the insurance he took out as viii be
shown when the time comes. He ex-
pected dividends this year on his
family stock in this company OF over
$65,000. besides salary and other in
come.
One Big Company Convinced
Yesterday the Penn Mutual Life
paid in full the amount of insur-
ance Mr.. Painter had in that COM
pany. amounting to 100000, $97.-
600 of which had been taken out
within the present year. This COM
pany has stated that after most
rigid investigation made by its
agents there exists no reasonable
doubt that Mr.. Painter met his death
| by accidental drowning Some OF
the companies are yet conducting
| themselves in most unfriendly and
unreasonable manner. Even though
the exhaustive analysis and exami-
nation made in Baltimore, under the
direction of the coroner here in
Jacksonville, and paid for by the
insurance companies, show no pois-
ons or evidences of suicide, and no
unusual conditions except a little
hardening of the arteries which is
common in all persons of Mr.. Paint
er's age, some companies even go so
far as to claim that Mr.. Painters

On account of the heating plant at
the Catholic church getting a bad
case of the tantrums last Sunday
morning, the members of that congre.
cation were forced to hold their SER
vices in the convent. When the wind
is in a certain direction the plant re-
fuses to work with any degree Of reg.
ularity and that was the trouble Sun
day. The congregation does not ex-
pect to be bothered this way a great
while longer, however, as the chances
are that a fine new church building
will be started here in the spring.
The Catholic congregation here is
strong and the parish wealthy one,
and they expect to erect a building
that will not only be a credit to
themselves but to the entire commu,
nifty.

the members of that body to kill it
If they dared.
Much to the discontinue of mem
bers from close districts, who hoped
to avoid lineup on this measure,
the bill came out of the committee
with a schedule which compelled
vote on it today. For four hours the
bill bore the fiercest fight from the
most notable men in the house on
both sides of the chamber.
Probably never before has a bill
gone through the house with so many
recognized leaders from all parties
against it. For some days these
leaders have schemed to prevent the
bill from coming before the house.
They had hoped to avoid taking a
public position upon it.
Compelled to come openly forward
to combat it they made a tremen-
dous fight. Joe Cannon, Republican
leader; Victor Berger, the Socialist;
and Ollie James, Democratic leader,
were in the galaxy of party leaders
who hurried forward the hot oratory
with which the enemies of the /
attacked it. Every device to Great
effect was used. The enemies OF
the bill not only did the best job
of talking, but they cheered their
speakers on with outbursts of ap-
plause. The friends of the bill were
grim and they did not applaud their
speakers. They knew the bill would
pass. They knew that up in the
crowded gallery and out in the pro-
hibition states and elsewhere in
homes without number all over the
nation was the spirit of approval
more powerful than the applause Of
colleagues on the floor-a spirit that
has declared the everlasting hostility
of the homes of the land to the Ii
quor business; the spirit which de-
mands in common decency that
where state has passed laws
against the liquor traffic it is the
duty of the general government to
pass such interstate legislation as
will enable these states to enforce
their laws.
A singular inconsistency developed
in the argument against the bill. Sew
en- able speakers used as an argu
ment against the bill the charge thai
prohibition doesn't prohibit, not real
izing, apparently, that the purpose o.
the bill is to correct that very con
! dition. Joe Cannon used with grea
gusto the fact that once when he wal
in Maine he was offered more liquo,
: than he was ever offered in Illinois
