executive officers of the Mutual Life
I Insurance Company responsible for the
conditions which prevailed in that or

company.
Mr. Peabody's letter, which will be

plation and that he believes the results
of the future will be entirely satisfac
tory to the policy-holders. He calls at
tention to a roductlon In the salaries
of officers and employes and In the ex
penses of tho home office building, ef
fecting a saving of $515,000 a year. The
economies effected in cost of agency
management, medical examinations and
revision work, advertising, printing and
stationery, he says, aggregate another

of more than J3000 for every working
day.
Gain in Net Income.
The letter says that since January
1 of this year, the company funds de
posited In banks and loans on collateral
have been reduced more than $17, 500,000
by Investment and that the total gain

ing the last six months has been
1. 000,000.
Mr. Peabody says that the integrity
and value of the company's assets have

tion and examination by English and
American public accountants, whose
certifying statement of the assets De
cember 31, 1905. is $465,003,000 in ex
cess of the value shown on the com
pany's books.
tJnterniyer Files Protest.
After reading the statement made
public by Mr. Peabody, Samuel Unter
myer, general counsel for. the interna
tional policy-holders committee of the
Mutual and New York Life Insurance
Companies, addressed a long letter of
protest to Mr. Peabody.
"My attention is called." he says, "to
a document Just Issued by you in aid of
the campaign for your own election and
that of your associates to whom you
owe your office. It is in the guise of a
letter addressed 'to the policy-holders'
under date of the 2d Inst., which you
have printed and have just given out
for publication and which I under
stand you are about to mall to the
policy-holders whose names appear on
the lists you have prepared at the ex
pense of the company, but which you
still persist in withholding from tho
committee represented by me while
using them for your own purpose.
Calls It Diversion of Assets.
"We take issue with you as to every
material fact contained In that docu
ment." Mr. Untermyer further declares that
a copy of this protest Is being forward
ed to the Superintendent of Insurance
accompanied by the request that he
forbid this "latest form of diversion of
the assets."
SUES FOR MISUSED FUNDS
Mutual Life Files Claims Against
Grannitss and Gillette.
NEW YORK, July 10. Complaints
were served today in the suits brought
by the Mutual Life Insurance Company
against Robert S. Grannlss, ex-vlce-presldent
and trustee, and Walter R
Glllette. ex-treasurer and trustee of
the company. It Is alleged against Mr.
Grannlss that he failed to scrutinlxo
vouchers that were submitted to him
and negligently and carelessly ap
proved many vouchers which represent
ed money paid for services not author
ized. The damages suffered by the com
pany by these acts amounted to 9200,
000. In another case of action against Mr.
Grannlss, It is charged that ne partici
pated in the making of payments out
of the assets of the company aggre
gating $92,500 to defray the expenses
of campaign contributions to political
parties.
Altogether five cases of action
against Mr. Grannlss are set forth and
the total amount for which Judgment Is
asked against him is $917,500 with in
terest. It Is alleged that the ex-vlce-presldent
participated In an arrange
ment by which money was taken from
the assets of the company to estab
lish a so-called "confidential fund"
which was expended for objects not
within the corporate purposes of the
company are beyond its lawful powers.
The complaint against Mr. Gillette
alleges that he received from time to
time large sums of money as to which
no entries appear in the books of ac
count or other records of the com
pany; that he made expenditures out
of these moneys, the items of which
are for the most part unknown to the
plaintiff: that he paid over about $S000
alleged to be the balance remaining in
his hands and that he never submitted
an account as to the expenditures made
by him.
Suit for the recovery of large sums
of money which were paid to his sta
tionery firm through alleged erroneous
vouchers was begun against Lysander
W. Lawrence by the Mutual Life In
surance Company today. It is believed
this suit may involve over $1,000,000.
Before the Armstrong committee be
gan Its work, Mr. Lawrence, who Is an
old and feeble man, went to his coun
try home In Connecticut, and it was im
possible to get him before that body.
Later he went to Hot Springs, and. It
is believed, Is still out of the jurisdic
tion of this state.

FLEET AGAIN MUTINIES
(Continued From Page 1.)
vanced upon the railroad station, where
troops had taken the mutinous Cossacks
to transport them to another town. A
second battle followed, in which the rein
forced mob held up the train and made
another attempt to rescue the mutineers.
They were finally dispersed by troops.
Many of the worklngmen were wounded.
Train Robbery a l'Amerlcain.
MOSCOW, July 10. Two unknown
armed men today entered a train between
Varoslav and Moscow, killed the attend
ant, robbed a carriage manufacturer's
cashier of $5400 and disappeared unmo
lested In the forest.
Capture Material for Bombs.
KOSTROMA. July 10. A band of revo
lutionists today boarded and seized a Volga
steamer and captured 450 pounds of
pyroxllene, presumably intending to use
it for loading bombs.
ROJESTVENSKY NOT GUILTY
Acquitted Because of Wounds, but
Others Are Sentenced.
CRONSTADT, Russia, July 10. Admiral
Rojestvensky, whose trial on the charge
of surrendering to the enemy after the
battle of the Sea of Japan, began before
a court martial here July 4, was acquitted
today after the court had deliberated for
nearly 10 hours.
Four officers of the torpedo-boat de
stroyer Bedovl, who were placed on trial
with the Admiral, were found guilty of
having premedttatedly surrendered the
Bedovl, and all four were condemned to
death by shooting. But on account of ex
tenuating circumstances, the Emperor will
be requested to commute the sentences of
the four officers to dismissal from the
service and to be deprived of certain
rights which they would otherwise enjoy.
The full report of the Cronstadt
court-martial shows that Admiral Ro
jestvensky was acquitted on the ground
that he was not in his full senses and
therefore was not accountable for what
transpired at the time of the surren
der. Some of the officers who were
tried with Rojestvensky were acquit
ted, their guilt not being proved.
The recommendations for mercy in
the case of Captain De Colongue, chief
of Rojestvensky's staff; Captain Bara
noff, of the torpedo-boat destroyer Be
dovl; Filllpovsky and Leontleff, who
were found guilty and sentenced to be
shot were in accordance with the reg
ulations and based on the physical and
mental demoralization produced by
the long voyage and shock of the dis
aster In battle. They were also cred
ited with a desire to save the life of
Rojestvensky.
NO VOICE FOR DEATH PENALTY
Upper House Will Probably Pass
Bill for Abolition.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 10. The bill
of the lower house of Parliament provid
ing for the abolition of the death-penalty,
was taken up today in the upper house.
All the Ministers were In attendance and
the galleries crowded, many members of
the lower house being present to watch
the fate of their first measure. Up to
recess time no voice had been raised in
favor of capital punishment, all the
speakers urging its elimination as a relic
of barbarism, as having an Inappreciable
effect in restraining crime, and as op
posed to the whole theory of the Russian
code, with its otherwise mild punish
ments. Even ex-Senator Tagantzoff, who was
a member of the Council of Ministers,
held this view, and urged the passage of
the lower house bill, with the sole quali
fication that It was inapplicable to the
army and navy, for which, according to
the fundamental law, Parliament had no
right to legislate.
After the general debate the bill prob
ably will be referred to a committee.
TURMOIL GROWS IN STRENGTH
Peasants Organized and Armed for
General Revolt.
ODESSA, Russia. July 10. Agrarian out
rages and politico-industrial strikes occur
daily, and are alarmingly spreading in
the Southern Provinces. The revolting
peasantry are now evidently organized
and led by professional propagandists,
who are secretly importing arms.
In an interview today a Marshal of the
nobility of Kherson expressed the firm
conviction that the situation is inevitably
and rapidly drifting to a colossal and
calamitous uprising of the peasants
against the landowners and that the
movement will be actively supported by
the disaffected soldiers.
ORDERED TO SHOOT DEPUTIES
Police Aim to Kill Off Leaders In
Parliament.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10. The Labor
group in the lower house f Parliament
declares that it has absolute proof that
orders have been sent from St. Petersburg
to the police authorities in the Province
of Saratov to fire on gatherings ad
dressed by members of Parliament after
the prorogation of that body. It is as
serted that the orders Instructed the po
lice to single out the Deputies and after
ward make it appear that the shooting
was accidental.
REFUSE TO SHOOT MUTINEERS
Infantry and Cossacks Kill Officer
Who Gives Command.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10, From
additional details of the mutiny of the
Seventh Ca-alry at Tambov, both the
infantry and the Cossacks sent to sub
due the mutineers refused to fire on them,
the infantry bayoneting the officer who
gave the command.
Only a detachment of dragoons, who. it
Is said, had been plied with liquor, at
tacked the mutineers. The officers of the
Seventh fired on their own men. The
number of killed or wounded has npt
been established.

CLARK WANTS TO
RETAIN HIS TOGA
Announcement of Retirement
Is Not Credited in
Montana.
PLAYING GAME OF ECONOMY
Holding Off Till Legislature Is
Elected to Avoid Buying It
Twice Not Wasting His
Wealth.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 10. Not Jong ago the an
nouncement was made that Senator W.
A. Clark, the richest man In Congress,
would not seek a re-election because
his duties as Senator interfere with his
private business. At first the story was
accepted as true, for it was readily
recognized that Clark as Senator could
not devote his entire time to the busi
ness of Clark, the miner and Investor.
But as time goes on, the announcement
is looked upon with more and more
suspicion, and this suspicion is
strengthened by reports that find their
way back to Washington from Mon
tana. Clark comes from a state where the
use of money in politics is a common
thing. It is nothing out of the ordinary
to buy up a Legislature in Montana;
indeed in recent years it has been im
possible for anyone to come to the
Senate except by the liberal use of
money, and it is common talk among
Montana people that Clark followed
the common example when he was
elected the last time. Indeed, the gen
eral understanding is that Clark money
first elected the Legislature and, when
the Legislature met, it refused to elect
a Senator until a majority had been
bought up a second time. Whether this
Is so or not, it Is generally believed in
Montana and by outsiders who have
kept a close watch on the politics of
that mountain etate.
Made Costly Mistake.
One of the most practical politicians
in Montana was discussing the Clark
case with your correspondent and
threw some interesting light on the
outlook. "Don't be fooled by Clark's
premature announcement,' said he:
"Clark is not going to quit the Senate
if he can help it. He likes the Job, even
though it interferes with his private
business, and, having had a taste, he
wants more. He made a mistake six
years ago by starting in to elect a
Legislature, for when the Legislature
was elected, he found it necessary to
put up a second time in order to get
onough votes to send him to Washing
ton. He's too shrewd to allow himself
to be caught again, so he puts out the
announcement that he will not be a
candidate for re-election, but I'll miss
my guess if W. A- Clark does not an
nounce his candidacy for the Senate
Just as soon as the next Legislature is
elected.
Will Not Pay Twice for Toga.
"Clark does not believe in buying
things twice when once is sufficient.
That is the theory on which he is mov
ing right now. While he has a fabulous
fortune, mounting up to sums which he
himself cannot accurately tell, Clark
does not spend any more money than
is absolutely necessary, and he can
usually drive a good bargain. Once In
a while he may make a mistake, partic
ularly in a new field, but he learns, by
experience and does not repeat a cost
ly error. When he was elected to the
Senate last time, Clark was a compara
tive novice at politics; he did not know
all about the way the game is played
in our state, but he is onto the curves
of the manipulators by this time and
they wont catch him napping.
"I don't mean to say that Clark will
be re-elected," continued this politi
cian, "but whoever beats him out will
have to go deep into his pocket. The
Senatorial toga in Montana comes high,
and it goes to the highest bidder."
MILUK0FF FOR PREMIER
Democrats Choose Man Whom Witte
Excluded From Douma.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10. Professor
Paul M. Milukoff appears, from conversa
tions which the Associated Press has had
with several leading members of Parlia
ment, the man on whom the Constitution
al Democrats are uniting for Premier in
the event of the successful issue of the
negotiations for the formation of a Con
stitutional Democratic Ministry. Profes
sor Mouromtseff, president of the lower
house of Parliament, and Ivan Petrunke
vitch, the legal authority among the
members of the House, also are men
tioned, but they are regarded with less
favor, the latter on account of Emperor
Nicholas' personal feeling against the
too plain spoken Tver Zemstvoists and
Professor Mouromtseff because it is felt
that he is needed in his present place.
The choice of Professor Milukoff is also
inspired by the desire to place a man
who was excluded from Parliament on a
technicality triumphantly at the head of
the government.
M. Nabukoff, the leader of the Consti
tutional Democrats in Parliament, was
most outspoken In favor of Professor
Milukoff, declaring that he was the most
sensible and clear-headed statesman the
party could produce and in every way
fitted to assume the responsibility of the
Premiership. M. Nabukoff intimated that
the Constitutional Democrats would lay
no claim to the portfolios of war, navy
and foreign affairs, which are regarded
as within the imperial prerogative, but,
like every Constitutional Democrat with
whom the Associated Press talked, he
insisted that no Cabinet with a bureau
cratic head was admissible.
CZAR READY TO SURRENDER
Offers to Form Democratic Cabinet,
but Terms Are Rejected.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 10. The re
fusal of the Constitutional Democrats to
participate having rendered it impossible
to form a coalition Ministry, the Emperor
and court. In the face of the rising spirit
of revolution in the country and the con
stantly extending evidence of disaffection
in the army, seem at last ready to turn
to the Constitutional Democrats as the
only; rowan ft of pacifying tbA country.
foreshadowed in the interview with Gen
eral TTepoff.
Negotiations looking to the formation
of a Ministry composed of Constitutional
Democrats have been formally opened
through the intermediary of ex-Minister
of Agriculture Termoloft, leader of the
new Center party, but the first proposi
tions of the government failed complete
ly, owing to the impossibility of the Con
stitutional Democrats accepting the three
conditions Imposed, namely, the abandon
ment of the principle of the forced ex
propriation of land, full amnesty for po
litical prisoners, and to agree to a Sum
mer recess of Parliament. To have ac
cepted such conditions, the Constitution
al Democrats declare, would have made
them guilty of treason, entirely destroyed
their prestige in the country and have
only angered instead of tranqullized the
people.
The Constitutional Democrats stand
by their guns and believe the govern
ment must shortly accept their terms.
The Rech, organ of the Constitutional
Democrats, thinks that victory is not far
distant.
Street demonstrations and rioting are
becoming more frequent in Moscow and
St. Petersburg, which is regarded as a
bad sign. At Moscow 7000 employes of
the Prokharoff mill, who were at tho
front during the rioting in December
last, have gone out on strike, presenting
a series of Impossible demands, Includ
ing pay for the time lost during the up
rising, clearly proving that their de
mands are a pretext to stop work-

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 10. Fresh in
structions have been sent to the Turkish
Minister at Washington, Chekib Bey, to
renew his efforts to dissuade the au
thorities at Washington from carrying
out the proposed elevation of the Legation
here to the level of an Embassy. It ap
pears that when the Turkish government
was first notified that the United States
desired to effect the change, Chekib Bey
was ordered to oppose the project, but re
plied that he was unable to shake the
determination of the State Department.
He has now been instructed to inform
that Department that the proposed action
requires a previous agreement between the
two countries which has not been ef
fected in the present case.
Chekib Bey, Turkish Minister to this
country, stated today that no instruc
tions had been received by him from his
government to delay the steps taken
for the elevation of the American Le
gation at Constantinople to an Em
bassy. "My government is as desirous to be
adequately represented through an Em
bassy at Washington as is the United
States through an Embassy at Constan
tinople," he said. "The question has
long been pending and Turkey has
previously signified her willingness to
take the step whenever financial and
other conditions enable her to do so.
If any question has arisen at Constan
tinople, the last reason to be ascribed
for the delay should be any indisposi
tion on the part of my government to
cultivate the friendship and good will
of the United States. I suppose the out
come will be the eventual raising of
tooth Legations to Embassies."
WILL MAKE RELATIONS TENSE
I
If Sultan Persists, Leishman Will
Become Persistent Dun.
WASHINGTON, July 10. The State
Department has not yet been advised
of the existence of any opposition on
the part of the Turkish government to
the elevation of the American Legation
at Constantinople into an Embassy.
Of course, if the Sultan declines to re
ceive Mr. Leishman in the capacity of
Ambassador under the credentials he
now holds, he is acting perfectly with
in his rights. But it is certain that
such a course will not tend to strength
en the relations between America and
Turkey, because in the view of the of
ficials here it will amount to a distinct
discrimination against the United
States and in favor of the great Euro
pean powers, now all represented by
Ambassadors at the Porte.
These Ambassadors have, by right of
their office, personal access to the Sul
tan at any moment. The American Min
ister and the other Ministers, in fact,
must do business through the Porte en
tirely and on the rare occasions when
they gain access to the person of the
Sultan, they are obliged to wait many
weeks for the opportunity. The result
is a very great obstruction and em
barrassment in the transaction of busi
ness, so that the State Department is
not likely to receive graciously any
protests against the reception of Mr.
Leishman's Ambassadorial credentials.
It is true that much of this business
has related to the presentation of
American claims against Turkey, but,
if the government of that country
cherishes the idea that these are to be
further obstructed by a refusal to al
low them to be presented through an
Ambassador, it is probable that the
State Department will be obliged to re
spond by charging the American diplo
matic representatives at Constantino
ple, even though he remain in the
grade of Minister, to press these claims
with an energy heretofore unknown in
the course of the negotiations.

SALT LAKE CITY. July 10. A sign
bearing the words "Baby for Sale," dis
played for several days in front of a
cottage in Waterloo, a suburb, caused the
arrest today of Mrs. Mueller by an officer
of the Juvenile Court. An investigation
developed the fact that several persons
had offered to buy the child, one woman
offering $60, but Mrs. Mueller would not
sell for less than J125.
Mrs. Mueller, stated that the 7-months-old
baby which she had tried to sell was
the child of her sister, who died recently
in Wyoming. The woman said she had
four children of her own and was unable
to care for them all. When the officers
returned to the cottage the furniture had
been removed and they were unable to
locate Mrs. Mueller or the four children
of whom the woman had told.
The woman told conflicting stories
about herself and family, and the officers
of the court decided to hold the infant
pending a further investigation of the
case.
