In th face of positive denials both by affidavits filed in th courts and the publlo ' press by the officers of both companies that ,,they are using the agency forces to cam paign for votes In direct violation of every legal and moral right of the policy-holders, we Inclose herewith a copy of one of the circulars being sent by the general commit tee and reports of agents of the New York Life and some of the latest campaign In struments issued, to agents of the Mutual Life. It Is a notorious fact that these agency forces have been built up at an enormous expense to the policy-holders. The funds of the policy-holders In your state are being used to campaign for votes to retain In of Uce the present regime in both companies, and agents who cannot be coerced into can vassing for the administration candidates lose their positions.

The agent who Is asleep and does nothing in this con nection is like' a sentry at his post asleep, wlljlng to sacrifice his comrades to his ene mies. The call of Kyllo is acts,- not words. DOLLIVER DENIES STORY Iowa Senator Says He Has Never ' Attacked Secretary Root. COUNCIL. 'BLUFFS, Ia., Nov. 24. Sen ator J. H. Dolllver, who is here today n route home from the West, denounces as false the language attributed to him in an article which Iowa papers are credit ing to the Springfield, Mass., Republican. Senator Dolllver is quoted as saying that Secretary Elihu Root "sits in the Inner councils of the trusts." is "Thomas F. Ryan's right-hand man," and that he has been "chief counsel in every nefari ous scheme foisted upon the American people." . Senator Dolllver said: "I have never given utterance any where or at any time to the remarks at tributed to me. I have the most friendly relations with Secretary Root, running over many years, and have never made any expression derogatory to him either In his professional or public life. To attri bute such remarks to me is an absurdity that Is very much more calculated to in jure me than Secretary Root."

A mere hint of the possibility of foul play In the death of Mr. and Mrs, James H. Delaney, who was found shot dead to gether In a fashionable boarding house yesterday, waa given by the police. "Doubt remains," said Police Captain Barcala, after the inquest. "whether Mrs. Delaney murdered her husband, and killed herself, or whether there was a third person In the room." The authorities are working mainly on the theory, however, that the case was murder and several letters found point almost conclusively to the fact that husband and wife had quarreled bitterly regarding the tetter's aspirations for a stage career. A box of cartridges of the same size as those used in the weapon that killed Delaney has been found in the wife's trunk. From this box six cartridges are missing. Charles iX Brown, Mrs. Delaney's foster father, (her father and mother have been di vorced and both have remarried) is on his way here from his home at Wills Point, Texas. He agrees with his former wife that the Delaneys lived an ideal life and is confident the case Is one of murder.

The railroad company was not concerned. All three men have been arrested.

FIGHT EVERY INCH Chester Gillette's Lawyers Try to Save His Neck. PROSECUTION MERCILESS Trial of JJactory Girl's Alleged Mur derer Moves Slowly Stagedrlver Who Hauled Body Gives ' Important Testimony. HERKIMER, N. Y.. Nov. 24. (Special.) The trial of Chester E. Gillette for the murder of Grace Brown, his factosy-girl sweetheart, came to a stop at noon to day, when Judge Davendorf ordered an adjournment . till Monday. . The expert medical testimony that District Attorney Ward had planned to give today was held back on account of the shortness of the session. The state spent the morning bat tering mercilessly the theory that the Gillette lawyers have sought to bolster up that the injuries found on Grace Brown's head and lace were caused after the body had been taken from Big Moose Lake. To counteract the defendant's efforts. District Attorney- Ward called John Den- een, a stage driver at Big Moose Lake. Deneen drove the wagon that carried the body of "Billy" Brown over the two sides of Mountain road between the Hotel Flenmore and Big Moost station. The defense sought to show that the bruises on the body were caused by the jolting of the wagon. 'The wagon in which I moved the young lady's body," said Deneen, "was equipped with six springs. The road at the time was smooth. No, We did not strike a rock all the way down over the two miles." Thomas, Gillette's senior counsel, leaped from hln seat as the witness finished. He was wtite with wrath and barely able to control his voice. Best Congress Ever Held. KANSAS CITT, Mo., Nov. 24. H. D.
