ES FOR RECEIVER
Another Policy-Holder Sues the
' Equitable.
WANTS SHARE OF PROFIT
Phlladclphian, With Whom Others
Joined, Sues for Distribution of
Surplus Hydo and Alex
ander Join Issue.
NEW YORK, April 24. Receivership
proceedings today were instituted against
the Equitable Life Assurance Society by
J. Wilcox Brown, of Maryland, a policy
holder. In the United States Court ho
IHed an action against the society asking
the appointment of a receiver for the sur
plus funds; an accounting, 6f the benefit
of himself and other policy-holders that
may join with him In the proceedings, and
an Injunction to prevent the society hold
ing the surplus.
Brown alleges that the society's officials
.have disregarded their trust and have not
paid his proportion of the net surplus.
His counsel have issued a i-atement say
ing that the huge surplus of the soolety
is not legally retained from the policy
holders nor lawfully used by the society,
and that the profit due the policy-holders,
except the 7 per cent dividends, is now
attempted to be swept away by the stock
holders claims.
Two other phases of the Equitable con
troversy were in court today. Justice
McLean in the Supreme Court reserved
decision In the case of Herbert G. Tull,
a policy-holder, who applied for aft in
junction -restraining the society's officers
from taking any further proceedings to
obtain an amended charier for the so
ciety. Mr. Tull's counsel attacked the
proposed charter as a "blind," which real
ly gave the stockholders nothing.
Counsel for Vice-President Hyde, of the
society, and Franklin B. Lord, a policy
holder, appeared before Judge Maddox In
the Supreme Court at Brooklyn to oppose
a petition by President Alexander to
strike out certain references to Mr. Alex
ander, from the petition in which Mr.
Hyde intervened in Mr. Lord's injunction
proceedings against the proposed mutual
izatlon plan. There was no hearing, as
the court had not received the Alexander
petition.
The statement in Mr. Hyde's petition to
which Mr. Alexander objects Is to the ef
fect that the proposed mutualizatlon plan
was passed by the board of directors with
out regard to the content of the majority
of the stock and that it was Inspired
alely by Instructions of Mr. Alexander
assuming to act In his capacity as presi
dent of the society. Counsel also objected
to the assertion that Mr. Alexander has
teen hostile to his trust.
Samuel- Untermeyer, counsel for Mr.
Hyde, told the court today that he had
received a copy of the Alexander petition
and had heard that it waa to be presented
to the court today, and that he was there
to oppose It. The court, however, had
not received the Alexander petition, and
there was no hearing.
HOW MANY AUTOS.
Seven Is a Discreet Maximum, Be
yond Which Is Extravagauiiel-jj;
(Rene Bache., in Outing.)
Tha will-known young millionaire of
sporting proclivities. G. Astor Midas,
considers that he Is rather economical
when he keeps only seven automobiles.
Indeed, with a less number, he would
find himself somewhat at a loss to meet
everyday requirements of transportation
and amusement. With seven cars
the term "automobile" is used only by
Ignorant outsiders he can go in for
racing in a moderate way, and is pro
vided with such vohlcular conveyances
as are absolutely requisite for the estab
lishment of a gentleman who spends half
the year out of town, and who, disliking
the railroad, prefers to travel by gaso
line between his country place and the
city.
Two of the cars are racing machines,
purchased for $13,000 and $16,000 respec
tively, the latter having greater horse
power. Of the others, one Is a light ve
hicle, with seats for the owner and his
chauffeur, and is used for short trips to
town and back. It cost $8000. There is
an omnibus car (price $12,000), seating
seven or eight persons, and employed for
carrying parties to and from the country
place. To those are added a large tour
ing car, for seven people, worth $15,000;
a .light touring car (value $12,000), for
use at odd times, and an opera car, hold
ing four, to convey members of the fam
ily to the theater and to entertainments.
This last is covered, being intended par
ticularly for cold weather. It was bought
for $8000, making a total of $84,000 for
the seven machines.
This, of course, represents only the
first outlay. Expenses of maintenance
run up to about $20,000 a year, the chief
item being for wages of a number of fn
dlspensable employes. Mr. Midas keeps
a racing chauffeur, who is the head man,
at $3000 a year. Under him is a touring
chauffeur, at $2000 per annum, and there
are two assistant chauffeurs who are
skilled mechanics, at$1800 and $1500, re
flectively. To these are added two ex
port cleaners and polishers, who see that
the machines are always spick and span,
and who receive $80 apiece a month, run
ning the pay roll up to a total of some
what over $10,000 atyear.
When One Is Really Old.
New York Press.
"1 know I'm getting old," said the lit
tle woman with the sunny smile and the
gray streaks on her temples, "but I just
love to go to dances as much as ever, and
when I'm there I don't feel old a bit.
I wish I could realize my age, but I'm
longing this moment for a baby hat of
all-over embroidery and a bolero suit.
Inn't It shocking?" -
"You ought to take yourself, by .the
hand and shake it," replied the woman
with the blonde hair and the dull eyes.
"You are not getting old, and you never
will. I'm older than you are this min
ute."
"But," interrupted the bright-eyed wo
man, "I was a grown girl going to
dances when you were wearing pinafores
and eating pickles. And just look at my
snow-white hairs. Besides, my dear, al
though you don't know it, I've lost two
teeth on both sides and have to wear a
plate. Now, Isn't that proof enough of
old age?"
"It is no proof at all," replied the other.
stahohly. "A woman- is never really old
until she loses ner interest In pretty
clothes and would rather stay at home
than co out in the evenings. It is not the
loss of your teeth, but the loss of your
enthusiasm that" is tne signpost of old
age.
"When you begin to think that it isn't
worth while to dress for the chance man
caller and to prefer sending down word
you aren't at home to mussing your best
frock; when the Invitation to a fcarty
suggests nothing more to you than the
next morning headache which may follow
If 'when you feel out of place In a frilly
hat and begin not to care whether your
belt fltsor not; when a child around the
house sets on your nerves and you find
yourselfS doubting the compliments your
husbantYjui eai lovejc ems-ftn.
love stories awaken only your smile of
amusement; when you consider any sort
of beautifying process, from curling your
hair to pulling In your stays, too much
trouble; when you begin putting flowers
on the dlnlng-rpom table instead of pin
ning them In your hair; when you com
mence wearing comfortable shoes and
letting out your corset strings, merely be
cause they hurt you then you are really
growing old and there Is no help for you.
"As long as a woman retains her van

a firm hold on her youth, and not all the
false teeth and gray hairs In the uni
verse can wrench It from her."
OLD ENGLISH GARDENING
Vegetables Xow Xcvcr Heard of,
"Such as "Good King Henry."
London Chronicle.
It is a little curious to think that even
as far back as. the Middle Ages a great
quantity of "garden stuff" was Imported
into tms country from the Continent. Al
though our ancestors were famous in
those days for their salads and greens,
they knew nothing about the cultivation
of edible roots until the reign mat Henry
VIII. Up to then such things as carrots,
turnips and artichokes were sent from
Flanders, and special messengers were
sometimes despatched to bring back sup
plies for the royal table. Among the
green vegetables most popular in Tudor
days was "Good King Henry" or -"Mercury
Gooseloot."
Recently there has been some discussion
as to whether this plant is wholesome or
not. The ignorance that exists in most
parts of the country about hls qnce pop
ular vegetable is astonishing. Many
gardeners have never even hoard of it.
The only district in which it still seems
to be cultivated Is South Lincolnshire.
Those who would like to have a really
old-fashioned vegetable In their gardens

The-Pacific University debating team, which won from the reprcscrtatives of the 'University of "Washington at Seattle, Friday
night, passed through Portland last evening, returning to Forest Grove. Pacific defended the negative of the question, "Resolved, That
the United States should not rota in permanent possession of the Philippine Inhindd untoee they shall ultimately enjoy state
hood." Washington teas represented by Miss Marguerite Hey oh, Stanley Grlflltli and John Campbell. The contest was held In
Denny Hall before a large audience, which pronounced the dbbato one of tne-vnost spirited ever held in Seattle. Pacific won
because of the superiority of her rebuttal work. The Washington team Was forced from Ite position that the Philippines
might be granted statehood in the future and compelled to support a policy advocating Independence for the Islands. So many
practical objections to this course were made by Pacinc that th.- decision hks given to the. Oregon team. This is the tenth vic

Nothing could be easier to grow, and as
it Is a perennial plant, there Is little or
no trouble connected with' It after it has
once been put in the ground. It may be
raised from seed sown In the open In
April or May, the young plants being set
out in their permanent positions about a
foot apart each way; or it may be started
from old-established clumps or stools
which are generally divided- in autumn
or in early spring. The young loaves are
used In the same way as spinach, making
an acceptable, mild flavored dish, -and the
young shoots are cut under the ground
and served up like asparagus.
