Sixty-Eight Ballots in Second Ward Divided Between Two Candidates.

THROWN OUT BY PROBE

Gmelich Gains 18 by Action of Legislators, Breaks Even in Other Precincts.

In the returns of three precincts of the Second, Ward counted Saturday by the joint dommittee of the Legislature it was found that 68 Socialist votes had not been counted for the Socialists at er and Gmelich. In the Sixth. Precinct Painter was credited with 19 Socialist votes and Gmelich: with 8; in the Seventh Pre- cinct Painter was given.7 Socialist votés and Gmelich 4; in the Eighth Precinct 17 Socialist votes were coufited for Paint- er and 13 for Gmelich, making a total of 43 for Painter and 25 for Gmelich.” These votes were taken away from Painter and Gmelich by the counting committee, leaving Painter with a net loss of 18 votes as against Gmelich. Thee entire Socialist vote in the three precincts was counted for Stone. In three other precincts of the Second |'Ward counted Saturday Painteer and oe Mai “broke even.” Batatze a ret gain of 3. cincts of the ward hé lost only 13; while Gmelich lost 43. If this percentage should keep up, it would mean a’ differ- ence of 2000 in the vote for Lieutenant- Governor alone. The committee did not begin work un- til 9:30 Saturday morning. As five hours was occupied in completing one ward, it will take three weeks to complete the recount unless greater progress is made. Senator McDavid said he was thinking of putting on new shifts of workers. He put on an extra crew of five men Satur- day. making 36 now engaged on the re- count. The Republicans say they will gain materially in the river wards. Eight out of the 15 clerks employed in the recount are Democratic officehold- ers, each of whom has had long experi- ence in ward politics. Each will draw $10 a day from the State.

——— woos money away from trusting women, was playing the same game nine years ago if the belief of Mrs. Maggie E. Bloom of Hannibal, Mo.,. that he is the man she married Jan: 2, 1900, is founded on fact. Mrs. Bloom, a widow, who owned a home in Hannibal, met a man through a matrimonial agency. He visited her and told dazzling stories of a 12-room mansion in California, with Chinese servants to be at the peck and call of herself and children. That suited Mrs. Bloom exactly and she and the Cali- fornian were married the day after his arrival. He remarked that he was “short of funds” and: his bride sold her prop- erty and advanced him $400 to “buy the tickets to California.” He left, presumably for Kansas City, to ar- range for their transportation West. Mrs. Bloom has never seen him since. Recently she obtained a divorce and the right to use again the name she bore before marrying the California man with the “mansion.” From the published description of the man being sought in St. Louis as the swindler of women there and at lola, Kan.,” said Mrs. Bloom, accord- ing to a) press dispatch from Hannibal Saturday, “I am quite sure that the man sought is the one I married. I hope they catch him.” Another romance has come to naught in the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, Iola, Kan., widow, who gave $1065 to Madson, and who now is in St. Louis with a lawyer searching for him. She thought the heart wounds caused by Madson’s faithlessness were tobe salv- ed by the love ana devotion of Wil- liam H. Stallings, Alhambra, Ill., mer chant. | But Saturday morning, after her law- yer hed been to Alhambra and investi- gated Stallings, she did not even keep the engagement she had with her new, suitor.

Stallings wrote of his home, thus: “IT have a five-room house, one block from the depot. I have.% acres of land, all in pasture, running right up to my house. Have my own. chickens; cows, horses and 20 sheep I live in town, yet enjoy .the advantages of country life. I don’t farm any now. but was a farmer all my life unt 10 years ago.”’ Mrs. Jackson pictured herself as the mistress of this home, mothering the six children, devoted to her kindly hus- band, her life full. of contentment with the pastures green and even the sheep bleating their satisfaction with life. Stallings wrote of himself: “My wife has been dead six. years. I have the finest family I ever saw—three boys and three girls; four about grown. I am well to do; don’t drink; use. to- bacco or gamble. I am in business here and have always. lived in this county, as have my family for three generations.

“double-header,” and when the passen- ger train crashed into it the cars were ,completely splintered. Immediately after the crash the wreckage took fire and the surviving passengers were marshaled by the cool- er heads to fight the flames. Snow which lined the tracks was brought into service and in this way the fire was OO; quickly extinguished. The first news of the wreck was re- ceived from the crew of the ‘westbound Denver & Rio Grande passenger train No. 1, which foll. wed the ill-fated pas- senger train to Dotsero by two hours. The crew telegraphed to this city, immediately picked up doctors and nurses and sped to the scene of the dizastcr. The work of rescue is being directed by telegraph by railroad of- ficials in Glenwood. Owing to the natural conditions. at the stene of the wreck, the work of res- cue has been greatly impeded. Doctors and nurses on one relief train which has arrived here declare the scenes pre- sented at the wreck are terrible. Noth- ing is left of the wrecked coaches, they declare, but” masses of twisted wood nnd steel, and beneath the debris the bodies of the victims can plainly be seen. As fast as the dead are taken out their bodies are placed in a long row at the side of the track; in readiness for the relief trains to bear them to this city. Most of the dead bodieg taken out so far are mangled almost beyond recognition. Railroad officials here who are in charge of the relief work refuse to make any estimate of the dead or to give out any lists of the killed or in- jured. The hospitals and morgues are rapidly being filled. Word was received here that two more relief trains bearing between twenty-five and thirty-five injured are on the way.

Council Resolution Agrees With Grand Jury on Work- house Conditions. HUSSEY IS SARCASTIC

Statesman Declares Various Police Judges Are a “Lot of Nuts.” Taking as its text the delay i the building of extensions at the Work- house, the Municipal Assembly has con- tinued its criticism of President 0’ Rei}. ly qf the Board of Public Improve. ments. As its first act after the adjournment of three weeks, the Council has adopt- ed a resolution in which it is declared that the December grand jury ex- pressed the préper view when it char- acterized the conditions at the Work- house as “wretched and inhuman” and called attention to President O’Reilly’s failure to- proceed with improvements authorized in an ordinance passed last September. Without making any effort to con- tinue the work which the ordinance directed him to perform, the resolutior declares, President O'Reilly has asked for the passage of other legisla‘ion con- templating the expenditure of $6000 in addition to $15,000 originally set aside for the building of more cells at the Work- house. One Vote Against It, Councilman Crunden fathered the reso- lution, which received the votes of all the councilmen present save Moellman. In the House of Delegates Dwight Da- vis introduced a_ resolution asking O'Reilly to explain why the improve- rents ordered to be made at the Work- house had not been undertaken. Before Davis demanded that informa- tion the House adopted a _ resolution. Suggesting that the judges of the three police courts—Tracy, Pollard and Klei- ber—recommend to the Mayor the re- lease of 60 prisoners, 20 of those convict- ed in the First District Court, the same number sentenced in the Second District Court and 10 sent to the Work- house from the Wyoming Street Court. Delegate Hussey refused to vcte on the resolution, but took advantage of the occasion to call the pelice judges “, lot of nuts who ought to be in the bughouse.”’ Later Hussey excepted the Judge of the Wyoming Street Court. ‘TT have not made his acquaintance yet,” said Hussey. To Block O’Reilly. To prevent President O’Reilly of the Board of Public Improvements from loca ting the west approach of the free bridge on private property south of Chouteau avenue. the United Free Bridge Committee has caused to be introduced in the Municipal As- sembly a bill directing that the street be used. This change, it is assert- edj will save a considerable sum that would otherwise te expended in con- demning land owned by the Iron Mountain Railroad. Councilman Cramer presented the bill in the Coun, cil and Delegate Bourg introduced the same measure in the House of Dele- gates. MASS CHANTED AT COLLEGE FOR BROTHER CALIXTUS Body Will Lie in State in St. Louis County Until Tomorrow Afternoon.

The body will be taken to the novi- tiate at Glencoe, St. Louis County, where it will lie in state until 3 p. m. Sunday, when the funeral services will be conducted by Father Michael Walsh. Brother Calixtus was 62 years old. He was born in Baltimore and his sec- ular name was Henry Noeth. For 30 years he had been organist at the 8t. Louis College of the Christian Broth- ers.

SFHATORSHP Thinks Federal Election Limit Mandatory, but All Do Not Agree. NO QUORUMTHREATENS Hudson Says Republicans Should Stay Away and Delay the Balloting.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 16.—Senator William J. Stone was .busy today tell- ing members of the Legislature how tion to the United States Senate at thé sessions Tuesday and Wednesday. His typewriter clicked off several thousand words of instructions to Democratic legislators on the question of whether the Legislature can proceed with the election of a senator pending the Lieu- tenant-Governorship contest. The senatorship must be decided im- mediately, according to Senator Stone. Dr. J. T. Muir of Lewis County and Senator Hudson of Livingston declare this provision of the Federal statutes is not mandatory. They call attention to the fact that Maine and Vermont, contrary to thé letter of the’ Federal statutes, elect their congressmen at the general State election in September, in- stead of at the country-wide November election. Oregon Set a Precedent. It is pointed out, also, that Oregon failed to ballot on a senator at the ex- act time prescribed in the Federal law and nothing was done to compel action. Senator Stone is afraid now there will not be a quorum of the members-elect present when the balloting begins. At least two, probably three, Democrats | will be absent. There are 92 Democrats in the Legis- lature and 89 constitutes a quorum. If four remain away and the Republicans fail to attend the joint session no »é@n- ator can be elected. Speaking of the United States sena- torial situation, Senator Fred Hudson said: “If for no other reason, as a matter ox protection to the party, we ought to hold off the election of a senator. “I have little reason to believe vhe Democrats will attempt to take advan- tage of the position they will oécupy, but it remains a fact that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The fact that the senatorship was still hanging fire might temper their views considerably in settling the liewten- ant-governorship. “Tt favor united action by the Repnb- licans and believe they should remain away from the session Wednesday. This might prevent a quortim and there would be no election for senator. I would not for one minute suggest re- maining away after the lieutenant-gov- ernorship is settled, but believe that for our own protection we should not allow the opposite party to obtain a strong whip hand, which could be used for Democratic purposes according to Dem- ocratic ideas.”’ There is a strong undercurrent indi- cating that if an investigation of the senatorial primary is started enough members will join to prevent the elec- tion of Senator Stone. There is some talk, also, of the in- troduction of a resolution by the Re- publicans denouncing Senator Stone for remaining away from Washington while Congress is in session to direct his own fight in the Missouri Legislature. The caucus held by the Democrats Friday is expected to have as a result the attendance of every Democrat Mon- day to prevent any effort to take an adjournment until Thursday. No effort was made in the caueus to bind the Democrats to vote for Senator Stone, his name being mentioned only once. Senators Fields, McAllister and Dorrie and Representative Spence df Staddard County urged the mémbers to attend Monday and to do all in their power to prevent delay in the election of a sen- ator. May Delay the Action. Representative Allen of Kansas City is ill and has never appeared to take his oath as a member. It is believed he will not be able to attend during this week. Senator Drunert is at his home in Jonesburg, where his wife is danger- ously ill, and his return is considered doubtful. Representative Johnson of Pulaski County is in poor health and may not return for several days. If these members should remain away and two or three Democrats should refuse to vote on the senatorship, the election of a senator would be delayed. While the election depends only on a majority of the members present at joint session, the fact remains that no joint session cay be held unless thére is pres- ent & majority of the House and a ma- jority of the Senate. The Republicans are in the majority in the House, and by remaining away can prevent the meeting of the joint assembly. Seanad “You'vel G int Me,” East Louis Adams employe Tells Detectives. Breaks Open Packages, Then Seals Them—Pawns Dia- monds, Sells Tickets. ee nee Bert Wallis, clerk in the East St. Louis office of the Adams Express Co., was arrested Saturday by detectives who had been investigating the loss of costly articles of jewerry and cloth- ing from a dozen or more Christmas packages sent to persons living in Hast St. Louis. a A small bag, ‘containing five gold rings, set with diamonds and pearls, four gold breastpins and a gold brace- let, together with a pawn ticket for a diamond ring, was found in one of Wallis’ pockets. “I’m making a collection,’”’ was the arrested clerk’s first explanation. This was followed in a few minutes by the admission, “I got them trom the com- pany. You've got me.’’ Packages Open, Then Sealed. The losses were reported to the com- pany soon after Christmas, até in- quiry was at once tegun. The fact that the packages were resealed after being broken open pointed to the-con- clusion that an office employe of the company had committed the thefts. Wallis, who is 2% years old, has be2n for six months what is known as “‘o. h.” or “on hand” clerk for the Adams company, handling the goods on hand in the office. He returned*from the Philippines a few yea ago, just too late to see his wife, who died from cancer while he was on his way. He married again a year and a half ago, and has‘a child three months old. His home is at 1813 State street, East St. Louis. . Barker Bought Pawn Ticket. Detectives Kerins, Neville and Stock- er, who arrested Wallis, had learned that he had left a suitcase in the Relay Depot barber shop, and, opening the suitcase, they found there a lady’s rain- coat, a silk skirt and a shirt waist. They learned that a barber employed in the shop had paid Wallis $10 for a pawn ticket on a $9 ring, set with a diamond and six pearls... They will try to recover the two rings for which they have found tickets. “JIMMY” NETS BURGLARS $100 Residence of Former Member of Police Board Looted. Using a “jimmy,” burglars forced an entrance into the home of George H. Smalk a real estate man, at 4236 West- minster. place, through a side window Friday night and stole $100 worth of clothing and other articles. So silent- ly did the burglars do their work that none of the members of the family was awakened. 9 The burglars obtained an overcoat valued at $60, a pair of men’s gloves, a gold-headed umbrella bearing Small’s name, and two rifles. Smali is a former member of the Police Board. POLITENESS COSTS DOCTOR $100 Diamond Pin Disappears With Courteous Men on P-A-Y-E Car. A $100 diamond pin disappeared from Dr.’ Fred J.

BIGGEST STOVE PLANT IN WORLD RISES FROM ASHES Pluck of Company Hard Hit by. Fire Astonishes Business World. One of the most remarkable exampies of determination and pluck shown in the business world recently is the reopen- ing of the Michigan Stove Co.’s nlant in. Detre’t, Mich. Threé months ago the entire establishment where the Gar-| land stoves and ranges are manufac- tured was burned down. In that short space of time the damage has been en-

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 16:—The recep- tion to President-Elect Taft bye the Chamber of Commerce at its banquet last night ‘was unique in its possum and its uncdnventionality. When the big possum, prepared especially for Mr. Taft, was carried up the center ajsle to him it was to the strains of a South- ern “walk around” from the orchestra, and all the guests arose and cheered. At the banquet there were 100 possums corpus delicti, ‘three casks of persimmon beer and all the champagne one could drink. Gov., Hoke Smith and Joseph M. Brown, Governor-elect, both advo- | cates of prohibition, were there, and 519 other Georgians. The Taft possum was said to be of the record weight of 24 pounds, and even when. dressed it weighed 18 pounds. When it had béen brought to the President-elect’s table, Asa G. Candler, hairman and toastmaster, arose and an- nounced that the Rev. J: W. Lee would oblige witha ‘song about the possum. Mr. Lee is pastor of the Trinity M. E. Church. He sdiig a song the burden of which was “Calive dat possum, cahve him to de heart.’’ This met with the utmost approval and Dr. W. W.. Landrum of the First Paptist Church was asked by the toast- magter to render his famous song, ‘The Tale of the Turkey.” Dr. Lahdrum was in good voice and told how the turkey had got all the best of the grass- hopper. : Then Judge -R. B. Russell of the Georgia Appellate Court was called upon

to sing the praises of the Georgia water- melon. He did it to such effect that Mr. Taft rose from hié seat to applaud. Two preachers and a Judge of a high court having expressed themselves in song, the 621 guests felt that Taft should sing, but he assured them’ that he couldn't, and talked only. Mr. Taft had given much care to the preparation of his banquet speech and he followed his manuscript closely. He made this comment on a point that the New York World has often commented upon editorially: “TIT am a Republican, but I concede fully the great advantage to the coun- try in having a Democratic party suf- ficiently powerful sometimes to winithe presidential election and always to put the Republican ‘party, when in control, in fear of possible or probable defeat. “And so in the South,” he continued, “tno one can deny the advantage that will arise in local and State govern- ments when there ds a substantial: and intelligent minority which may become a successful majority in punishment of the abuses that are likely to grdw oui: of the long-continued and undisputed ontrol of one party.”

The bridegroom sent it in a regular flor- ist’s box tied with bow and long ends of white satin ribbon. The ribbon was saturated with perfumery so the flow- ers’ apparently smelled sweet.

Is it good taste, or preper, to send a letter to friends upon their marriage when no cardg are sent out? In letters of this kind what kind of paper should be used and should they be in script, typewrit- ten or printed form? STEPHEN. An announcement card does not re- reply where at home cards are inclosed. Then a call is made or your visiting card is sent on the day specified. No gift is obligatory. Send one if you wish. It is alwaysrin good form and a pleasing courtesy to write letters to one's friends congratulating them .on their marriage. Use cream or write wnruled stationery written in your own hand.

IGNORANT. ° The oyster is removed from the shell by holding on to it (the shell) with left hand while the oyster is speared with the oyster fork, dipped in the sauce if you like it, and devoured whole, It is not bad form to s@ coffee to see if it is flavored to taste. After that it is drank from the cup. 4 Luncheon for a Bride-Elect.

The Chicago lad lacked his usual strength, because of necessity to make weight below his natural mark. Time and again Packey sent across rights and lefts to Dick’s head that should have ended matters. The California boy showed great gameness and recuperative power all through the contest. Dick kept his head at most critical times and only in the tenth round was he in the slightest danger. Packey shoved across a terrific right full in the chin that sent Dick staggering half way across the ring and followed it with a rush ewes te Te right WOMEN ROLL BIG ed to the Limit to Get Victory. and left and ripping in for the body. It all failed when the smaller iad clinched, in a few seconds recovered and was fighting back, bléw for blow. Hyland made a good impression on the crowd by his gameness and willingness at all times to, take a blow to get in a return one. At times, notably ir the sixth, the San Francisco boy foresd the fighting and had t Chicago bexer backing and covering In the ninth round Packey voliahaa his tactics and tried to win a knockout via the solar plexus route. He struck low and was hissed by the crowd. Packey continued leads for the body, but received quick returns which forced him back into his old game. The last round brought the crowd to its feet, cheering for Hyland because of his woréerful rally and gameness. LL BIG. [TIGERS DEFEATED BOWLING ¢ SCORES|BY WASHINGTON U, Eight teams competed in the Women’s City Championship tenpin tournament on the De Soto alleys last night, the South Sides getting the best scratch total, with 2070, while the Russelis, with a 306-pin handicap, got a total of 2344 pins. The handicaps .for the tournament were allowed on the work of the teams in the preliminary round bowled Wednésday and Thursday nights. There will be no tournament matches ‘this evening, the second squad of five-wom- en teams not being scheduled to shoot until Tuesday evening. Mrs. Miller of the Germania team was high individuai in last night’s bowling, with an average of 1581-3. Mrs. Smith of the same team averaged 156. The scores of the clubs was as lows: South Sides (61); 2121; Russells (396); 2347; Germania (213), 1958; Merry Widows (201), 2010; Academys (201), 2043; 1908’s (249), 1817; World’s Fair Stars (318), 1751; World’s Fair Busters (297), 1768. ——-———_—— NELSON MAY NOW GIVE P, M’FARLAND A FIGHT CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Battiing Nelson, the lightweight champion of the world, will give Packey McFarland a battle ‘f Bat considers that the stockyards boy’3 showing against Dick Hyland warrants it.

The teams played under collegiate r s and the game was a rough one from start to finish. The A. Uv. rules rvo"ld have made it necessary to call n.any fouls on the players if they hau been playing under those regula- ticns, but under the collegiate rules al- most every kind of rough work was permitted. Robinson, center of the Washington five, put up a star game. He not only managed to land the ball on the toss up in the center the majority of times, but also scored 20 points for his team. “Curly” Ristine, the all-around athlete, playing right forward for Missouri, also put up a good game. i‘e scored li points. BASEBALL AND RACING IN DANGER IN TEXAS DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 16.—The bill in- troduced in the Texas House of Repre- sentatives by Mr. Bowles to prohibit the playing of baseball] on Sunday, has caused much uneaBiness among the owners of the Dallas club of the Texas League. Many friends of the sport de- clare if the bill becomes a law it will kill professional baseball in Texas. They are preparing to oppose the passage of the bill. The racehorse men are also discom- fited over the bill introduced in the Senate by Senators Mayfield and Meacham declaring it will ruin the State Fair and. horse breeding. A member of the Dallas Pastors’ Association, which body started the agitation, stated today that in the House there is an over- whelming. majority for the bill; that it has a clear majority in the Senate and is sure to become a law. —_———_@—— Chicago Semi-Pros, Organise.

St. Louis is still ex- pected to work up enthusiasm mere amateurs. Everyone is saying nice things about the Cleveland team’s pennant chances next season, but all admirers ‘hold back from any such assertion as that this un- fortunate club is the most likely can- didate for the flag. Cleveland surely is the champion hard luck club of the American League and the followers of the club seem to be possessed by the idea that hoodoo and defeat await the club, no matter how rosy the outlook seems. For this season the Naps have, per- haps, the best outlook In years. Even with Flick and Turner not figured in the club seems to have an edge on ita rivals. On the showing of the race last year, Cleveland was unfortunate not to win. Had Joss not missed out during the hot days of midseason the scant advantage Detroit had at the close would have been reversed to the tune of a od one in favor of the Forest City club. Even the presence of Goode in the game throughout the _ season would have turned the tables ir favor of the Blues. Instead, costly experi- ment with hesrital ex-stars like Turner kept Lajoie’s inen just far enough be- hind to cause the loss of the pennant race. It was Cleveland's luck that the lowly Washington ‘club should play a prominent part in the team’s over- throw—Washington, a by-word in base- ball. Such instances have weakened the confidénce in the gortent of La- joie and company. This year neither the Tigers nor the White Sox seem to have strengthened materially. The Sox and Tigers have been pressed to the limit to keep their heads up. Cleveland seems to have two excellent young men in Perring and Goode, and the rest of the club is sound as heart of oak. Its pitchers are the best in the American League. bi Cleveland a great race and it is not drawing on the imagination too extensively to figure that McAleer and Jajoie will jockey fer first place instead of*Detroit and Chicago. It is the prevailing impression that the Tigers have been “getting away with something” for two years. Outside of Detroit there is scarcely a baseball fol- lower who does not believe that the Sox, the Blues or the Browns could heve made a less disgraceful showing in the two world’s. series than Detroit. Nothing but an incomparable outfield and hard and continuously batting has brought the team into fame. In wits it is outclassed by both the Sox and HE Browns will probably give ee Shows How to Toss Wrestlers Over His Head Capt. Leopold McLagen, champion. jiu- jitsu artist, gave a clever exhibition of the game at the Standard Theater last poet when he defeated & Japanese and showed a few tricks of fiu-jitsu while} operating on his opponent. Each man over v the Browns, and in pitching it is ©¢x- tremely average. As for the Sox, nothing but the mar- velous work of Ed Walsh enabled that team to remain so closely in last year’s race. Walsh, like Donovan, will prob- ably fall away from his banner year. In other respects the Sox seem due for a retrogression. trade or purchase being made, the Browns will be stronger this year. The return to perfect health and fitness of Stone, Schweitzer and Williams will assure this even without counting the acquisition of Criger. Graham, who started so well and was incapacitated for the greater part of the season ‘through an accident, will also be an ad- dition to the pitching strength. It is no idle speculation to expect the club to be materially stronger than last season or to figure that the club which beats the Bruwns will about win the flag. Should, by any scheming or trading or flaunting of yellow backs. Pitcher Burns or Johnson of Washing- ton be acquired, the team would be a legitimate favorite. | N THE meanwhile, without another Dippy—“‘Getting the dough,” as used in sporting matters, is not mere slang. “Dough” is an Anglicization of the French -word ‘dot’ (the pronunciations being identical), which means a mar- riage portion. Thus, if a. fighter is “wedded to” the boxing game he gen- erally gets the dot. In its fiduciary as- pect the term dough is certainly well bred and not a vulgarism.

SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. —

aaa” ~~ To the Policy-holders: The work of your Company during 1908 at the close of that year deserve more than ordina ns tion and study. Your interest in the brief tabular exhibits at- tached is two-fold. You have the responsibility and the anxjety of policy-holders; you have also a wider interest. Commerce 18 more than business; it is the great civilizer. Life insurance is more than mutual protection; it is a great social force. Let us, and its condition ry considera- for a moment, consider that aspect of these figures. If a considerable portion of the wealth created yearly ‘by society would be gathered on a pro rata basis, invested so as to earn a reasonable rate of interest, and then under an exact and scientific program be turned into cash instantly at any pomt antl applied to the relief of human distress,.a long step would he taken toward the social betterment of men. There would be neither charity nor confiscation in such a plan. It would not eliminate ambition or initiative; but it would greatly reduce pov- erty, ignorance, and their familiar fruits. But society is not organized in that way. In the struggle for existence the weak are brutally driven to the wall. Property itself is not always money, and money saved is frequently worth less than its full value, because it is not well placed or is not quickly available. There is, nevertheless, a large section of society more wisely organized than society as a whole—a gild of men and women whose weak ones are not trampled on, whose property at the time of greatest need is always available and is always money. This is life insurance. Life insurance is what society would be and it does what society would do if society were organized as suggested above. If society, instead of life insurance, accomplished these results, we might begin to hope for a speedy realization of some of our social ideals. But conditions and results achieved are no less real and no less valuable socially, because they belong to what. we call business. ‘Life insurance achieves such results daily, with certainty, with justice and with large benefits to society. As a policy-holder in the New York Life Insurance Company, you were a part of such a plain in 1908, and indirectly you were busy producing just such results every month in that year. WHAT YOU DID IN 1908. Consider for a moment this Company—and by this Com- pany, I mean, primarily, its membership—as it was at the begin- ning of 1908, and consider what it has accomplished within twelve months. One year ago the Company consisted of people insured under about 980,000 policies, citizens of every consider- able country. They were under definite contracts with each other which called for scientific co-operation and mutual protec- tion. ‘They had paid such sums into a common fund that all their matured obligations had then been met, and, on January Ist, 1908, against an ultimate average obligation of about $2000 per policy, there was accumulated about $525. The membership was under definite contracts duly to provide the difference be- tween the sums accumulated and the sums ultimately due. What happened during 1908? You directly reached and relieved the beneficiaries under 9,000 policies when their chief resource had been taken away by death; your relief went into the 46 states and 6 territories of the United States, and into 44 other countries. The total of this relief, as expressed in money, was $22,131,290.77. But that is only a part of the story. You sent these families, not property, but money; you reached them immediately and just when need was greatest. In doing that you really did more. You did what no other organized body of men could do, except those similarly organized. You paid to these beneficiaries a partial equivalent for the property value of lives cut off prematurely. Most insuring persons are young. They have strength of body, a reasonable mental equipment and an average training. When they assume the obligations of home and children they, in effect, make a contract with society, but the burden of that con- tract for a time is on society. They are theniselves their chief asset. But the bank will loan no money on that asset when life is extinct; and very little when life is at its full. If that asset fails, these men default to society, and society has no remedy except the orphanage and the reformatory. A large portion of the death-claims of 1908 represented the salvage of the one really valuable asset which these families had, a resource which, by all the ordinary rules of business, was totally lost. These payments prevented social defaults and to that extent made the orphanage and the reformatory unneces- sary. = It is worth while for you, as policy-holders, to know some- thing of the other things which you accomplished in the year 1908. You paid in all to your own membership, $49,191,258.40. This total includes death-elaims, annuities, dividends, maturing endowments, maturing deferred dividend policies and surrender value for contracts sold to the Company. You loaned to your own membership, on the security of their own policies, $28,000,- 000. For your own protection, you increased the general funds of the Company (book values) by about $42,000,000.. This in- ereased the security behind each average ultimate policy obliga- tion by about $46. _ Standing business about $68,000,000 and _ All this represents mutual help of the first order, Compare it with your other investments and your other activities in 1908. Did you do any better work during the year? Was it not worth while? Would you not like to see more of it desie by 3 sate pany in 1909? Would not an almost unlimited amt 8 PF work carefully and effectively done be a public benefit? _ HOW YOUR WORK Is LIMITED. eee But here a curious condition confronts you, In the | of your work, and in that alone, you are not advancing. For example, in 1908, you issued about 63,000 new policies, and from| various causes you lost 69,000. It is a startling fa | had taken into your ranks in 1908 enough sie snatien tc Sate good the number that dropped out, making no growth whatever, you or your representatives would have the criminal law of New York State. N otwithstanding the high character of all you did in 1908, notwithstanding your willingness and abil- ity to do more of it, the laws of New York State are such that your Company near the close of the year had to slow down the busy wheels or risk committing a misdemeanor. This particular law—Section 96 of the Insurance Laws of New York—has been in full foree for two years. It, places an} arbitrary limitation on the legitimate activities of life insurance men. Its direct effect on your Company has been the reduction | of a plant capable of insuring 160,000 people a year to a plant ,

insuring less than 65,000 people a year. It has reduced our out- reduced the number of families protected by our gild by about 20,000, | Aside from ‘all questions of its constitutionality and the re-. pugnance with which every healthy-minded American views such legislation, the law is a curious one for New York State to enact. New York is the ‘‘Empire’’ State and boasts of it. It has a city which, with reason, aspires to the commercial and financial su- premacy of the world. The story of the city and the State is filled with the names of great men and is the record of great achievements. The State and the city are what they are, not alone because of their location, but chiefly because the men of the State and of the city have strongly utilized great opportunities. . It was strange logic which impelled the Legislature of such a State to conclude that admitted evils in a great business could]: be cured by limiting its volume. The Legislature of the State| has never before applied this doctrine to any business, and in my |f judgment the people do not approve such legislation. THE PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES. I call your attention to the general facts contained in the Balance Sheet and statement of Income and Disbursements’ at-| tached hereto. I think you will there read the answer to the query that uninformed people so often make, ‘‘Why do life in-} surance companies need such great accumulations of money ?”’ Our ultimate obligations at their face value approach two thousand million dollars; our assets for all purposes (market values) are about five hundred and fifty-seven millions. Every dollar of those assets is absolutely necessary under a-clearly de- fined program in order to liquidate our liabilities, both actual and contingent. Our assets are large because our liabilities are large. Our liabilities are large because we are doing a large work of the kind I have described, You understand, of course, that the time has passed when life insurance companies will attempt to defeat or repeal legisla tion by any indirection or by. any process which will not meet the approval of the most scrupulous mind. Bad legislation you can Ro tee: er ee : pipes , ee ee a Rie a4 Pir. 2 Si “ y nds ces * oe a4 z é % a err . *s f —— 4 t¥ ee y adr ; a i al hed ‘ x - 4, = Fk Pe take 4 * * ion dee = Se tag!
