Life Insurance Company to be

and Better Basis,
RECEIVER TO HELP IN CHANGE
Suit Brought BY Manhattan Man Who
Alleges the Company Had Been
improvidently Managed-Made
Bad Contract

Topeka.-fhe receivership of the
Kansas Home Mutual Life Insurance
Is expected to bring about a reorgan-
ization of the company upon a basis
whereby the policyholders will be pro-
tected against loss. ]. E. Edgerton of
Manhattan brought the suit. asking
for the receiver, alleging the company
had been improvidently managed. The
company has been in trouble several
times since its organization.
Cary J. Wilson, state superintendent
of insurance, said that he did not be-
ieve the policyholders would lose any
thing. 1t is asserted by the officers
that when the company is reorganized
it will be on better financial basis
than at any time in its history.
When the company was started it
had a. hard time getting business in
competition with the many other COM
panies operating in the state. In or
der to increase its business the COM
pany made a contract with Nathan
Brown, the owner of an insurance
writing scheme, whereby the company
agreed to pay to Brown l per cent of
all the premiums collected on insur-
ance for the twenty years the policies
were to run. This contract covered a
period of thirty-eight years. This
commission was in addition to the
usual agents commission for selling
the insurance.
A great many of the policyholders
in the company objected to this meth
cd of getting additional business as a
drain on the company's resources. The
officers of the company assert they
were forced to abrogate the contract
The receivership was the result.

MADE A NEW COAL RECORD
Last Years Production of 7,1se,sfs
Tons, the Greatest in History
of the State.

Kansas produced more coal in the
year which ended June 80, 1914 than
in any previous year. The report of
Francis Keegan, state mine inspector.
shows that the years production has
amounted to 7,1S6,91S tons. The pro-
duction in the year ending June 80,
1913, which broke all previous records,
was 7.090,579. The development of
the strip pit operations probably is
responsible for the increase
In and around the Kansas coal
mines during the last fiscal year.
l2.49S men were employed. Thirty
four men lost their lives at their work
one for every 211.3SO tons of coal
produced or for every 36S men en-
ployed
Throughout the year AS, PA tons of
coal were produced by the steam SHOW
el strip pits. Fourteen companies,
each owning from one to five big
shovels. were operating. Employment
was given to 5S1 men and the pits
worked an average of 173 days. The
increase in output in Crawford county
in the last fiscal year was 449,233 tons
over the preceding year, and it is
credited to the strip pits.
There was an increase of six fatal
accidents in the fiscal year 1914 over
the fiscal year 1913. Inspector Kee-
san points out that the falling of a
cage at the Spencer Newland mine at
Mulberry. January IA, 1914, is res2oa-
sible for this increase. Six men lost
