Purpose of Suit Against New
.York Uife and Mutual.
PETITION FOR RECEIVERS
District Attprney Says They Have
Violated Law by Illegal Expen
dlturcsAsks That Receiv
ers Take Premiums.
AKRON, O., Oct. 2S.Quo warranto pro
ceedings were commenced In the Circuit
Court here this afternoon by Prosecuting
Attorney Hagelbarger on the advice of ex
Attorney - General Monett, of Ohio,
against the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany and the New York Life Insurance
Company to oust them from the state by
taking their franchises from them, on the
ground that the companies have misused
their powers for the past Ave years in
violation of the laws of the state. Thirty
three interrogatories are submitted to the
companies to be answered. The appoint
ment of receivers is asked for.
The petitions filed ask that the fran
chises held by the Mutual Life Insurance
Company and New York Life Insurance
Company b.e taken from them and that
TALENTED OREGON ELOCUTIONIST
Minn Sophie Wolf.
Miss Sophie Wolf, a native Cre
gonian. who has spent two years
at Emerson College of Oratory, in
Boston, gave a reading at Miss
Conger's benefit recital, at Oregon
City, last Monday evening. Her
portrayals of the characters of Vic
tor Hugo's masterpiece were well
recolvcd. Miss Wolf will Jiend the
Winter In Portland. Dr. L. J. Wolf,
formerly of St. Vincent's Hospital,
but at present surgeon of the Peary
Arctic expedition, Is a brother of
Miss Wolf.
they be prevented from doing business in
this state. The petitions also ask that
receivers be appointed by the Circuit
Court to take charge of all of the. funds
collected as premiums paid by policy
holders of the two companies In the
state and that the receiver collect all
premiums due and hold the funds In
trust.
It Is alleged in both petitions that the
companies have, during the past five
years, misused their franchisee, now hold
contracts that are In direct violation of
the insurance laws of this state, and that
both companies in their annual state
ments to the Insurance Commissioners
failed to disclose -a large and substantial
amount which was contributed to Cor
nelius N. .Bliss, one of the members of
the Republican National Committee, the
amount of which is said to be in. excess
of 00.000. It is also alleged that the
companies paid out under the guise of
-fees $256,000 to lobbyists to influence the
Legislature In this and other states and
that the funds of the policyholders in
this state are being wrongfully expended
and to that extent wholly dissipated and
squandered for Illegal, criminal and
fraudulent purposes. It Is further alleged
that the statements filed by both com
panies were fraudulent- and In direct
violation of the provisions of the char
ters held by the companies in this state.
The petitioners ask that the receivers
be authorized to make all collections of
premiums and funds due to the com
panies in this state, 10 hold the same to
be paid out as death benefits until the
final hearing of the cases. Copies of the
petitions were served upon Captain H. O.
Feederlce and D. King Paige, agents of
the two companies In this county.
SUE FOR THEIR PREMIUMS
Policy-Holders Say Northwestern
National Is Mismanaged.
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Galesburg. 111., says: Al
leging that 5500,00 of the surplus has
been squandered, 17 policy-holders,
headed by Theodore A, Vincent, pastor
of the Central Congregational Church
of this city, yesterday began suit
against the Northwestern National Life
Insurance Company of Minneapolis,
and the Northwestern Life & Savings
Company of Des Moines, to compel the
return of an aggregate of several thou
sand dollars paid by the plaintiffs in
premiums.
These men orjglnally held policies
in tlie Des Moines company, -which on
August 22, 1905, transferred its busi
ness and assets to the Minneapolis
company. The property thus trans
ferred comprises $3,500,000 assets and
$250,000 surplus, together with all
books, accounts and policies. The
policy-holders were given to under
stand that their interests were pro
tected by the transfer.
It is alleged that since then the
companies affairs have been poorly
conducted and that It is practically In
solvent and about' to be reorganized on
a different basis, such as would de
stroy the policies of the Des Moines
company.
Distribute Surplus Annually.
CHICAGO, Oct 28. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Madison, Wis., says: Insur
ance Commissioner H. Ort, in his annual
report, recommends the enactment of
state laws to compel life insurance com
panies to make an annual distribution of
their surplus among policy-holders. He
also recommends a law requiring compa
nies to furnish annual reports of a gain
or loss exhibit.

BEATEN WITH A REVOLVER
San Franciscans Robbed at an Early
Hour of the Morning;.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 28.- Special,)
Frank D. Hughes, a clerk, and a brother
of ex-Coroner Dr. Hughes; was held up
by a masked footpad at Waller and Ma
sonic avenues, soon after 1 o'clock this
morning, beaten over the head -with a re
volver and robbed of $200 In gold. He now
lies at his home, 1304 Mason street. In a
critical condition, as the result of his In
juries, and the detectives detailed on the
case have been unable to find a clew to
the Identity of his assailant.
Mr. Hughes was on his way home, when
the masked man came walking up rapid
ly behind him and without a word of
warning struck him a stunning blow on
the head. He turned to face his assail
ant, but before he could raise his hand
in defense or make an outcry for assist
ance he was beaten down from the 're
volver In the hands of the thug. As he
fell to the sidewalk the robber put his
hand in his victim's pocket, reached a.
coin pursue containing $200 m gold and dis
appeared In the darkness.
As soon as he regained consciousness
Mr. Hughes, still in a dazed condition
from the effects of his injuries, made his
way home. Dr. Hughes was at the house

had transpired, he notified the police, and
several officers were detailed on the case.

what had occurred and gave a partial de
scription of his assailant.
Do You Love
Your wife well enough to wish to make her kitchen work one of pleasure,
rather than irksome drudgery?
Her dally task Is severe enough under the most favorable conditions
without the added annoyance and burden of a poor-baking, smoky, incon
venient cook stove.
Oh, the misery occasioned the poor wife when tho old stove refuses to
bake quickly, thereby destroying, perhaps, an expensive cake or ovenful of
bread.
The Eclipse Steel
Range
is a good
sure Baker
It scatters rays of sunshine and cheerfulness In homes where fret, worry
and misery dwelt before.
NOTE THIS: The woman who has used an Eclipse Steel Range for six
months and become accustomed to Its sterling- baking qualities, will never
be satisfied to go back to the drudgery and annoyance of the common cook
stove and Inferior range.
THIS IS WHAT WINS HER HEART: The Eclipse oven thermometer, the
high warming closet, the broiler lift, the coal pouch feed, which may be
used for toasting broad when wo'od is the fuel, the dampers and caslly
regulated drafts, the small amount of fuel needed, the short time required
to heat the oven, and best of all the cortalnty with which it may be
counted upon to BAKU.
The Eclipse Range DOES BAKE! It has no equal
Yes, b-a-k-e BAKE!
as a BAKER! -
We expect to din that Into the public cars till the children In the street
cry it till the dogs bark It!

TEACHER FIGHTS BULLDOG
Tics Apron Around Brute's Neck to
Protect Helpless Children.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S. While trying to
save her small pupils from the attack of a
savage bulldos which Invaded the school
room during class time today. Miss Vera
Wilkes, a young teacher of Public School
No. 59, at Union Course. East New York,
was severely bitten. There was a wild
struggle between the frail young woman
and the powerful brute before she over
powered him and pushed him from the.
room. Miss Wilkes' hands were bitten to
the bone, but she managed to get her
apron about the animal's neck and even
tually overcome It by strangulation. After
burling the dog through the doorway she
and the children screamed for help and
attracted the Janitor and Policeman
Groves. The latter put a bullet In the
animal's brain.
New Church for Xorth Albina.
A chapel is to be erected Irt North
Albina. on Willamette Boulevard, near
Denver avenue, by the United Evangel
ical Church. Rev. H. L. Pratt, pre
siding elder for Portland district, has

that for the present a small chapel
will be put up. which will be part of
the large building that Is contem

and Rev. J. Bowerpox, of Albina, have
been preaching there In the afternoons.
Ground has been secured and Rev. Mr.

Bold, Bad Man at IiRrge.

to elude hl pursuers. Patrolman Hun
ter has made a careful search in the
brush where he was last seen Fri

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 26. (Special
Correspondence.) Miss Alice Roosevelt
has once more stirred social circles In
San Francisco to their very depths. It Is
felt by those on the Inside In the smart
set that the daughter of the President has
snubbed her friends In this city. More
over, those friends are somewhat ag
grieved that the Independent Miss did
not find time to stop long enough to say
"How do you do." In fact. Miss Roose
velt did not even set her foot upon San
Francisco soli on her way from the Ori
ent to her home in Washington. She was
met down the bay by the customs officers
in a Government tug and was at once
transported to Oakland, where she joined
President EL H. Harriman. -of the Southr
dm Pacific, .and' became bis guest ln.hls
special train acrb&s the country.
The bitterest disappointment was felt
among the members of the Burlingame
colony. This coterie of millionaires had
made all preparations' to entertain Miss
Roosevelt In regal style. The women had
clubbed together to receive Miss Roose
velt In a splendor greater than Burlingame
had known before. A special pavilion hnd
been constructed adjoining the clubhouse
and marquees put in readiness to erect
on the lawns. The plan was to give an
out-of-door fete which should eclipse the
most elaborate held in Japan. The ladles
of Burlingame had gone to the extent of
Issuing Invitations, as they had under
stood from Miss Roosevelt that she would
gladly accept their hospitality upon her
return from the Far East.
Mrs. Walter Martin, one of the leaders
of the Burlingame colony, had made plans
to entertain miss Roosevelt at her home,
and had also Issued Invitation?. The la
dles who entertained Miss Roosevelt when
she passed through this city on her way
to the Orent 'expected that she would
stop over a day or two to pay her ac
knowledgements. So. all In all. there bj
a disappointed colony of maids and
matrons about the bay.
Although Miss Roosevelt has volunteered
no explanation of her sudden change of
plans. It Is felt that she was acting upon
the advice of her father-when she decided
to make the trip to Washington with all
haste. The President was not pleased
with the publicity which attended every
move his daughter made, and he was
vexed at the silly .stories circulated which
placed his daughter In the light of a
hoiden Instead of the fun-loving Ameri
can girl that she Is.
An Incident In connection with u t
or Miss Roosevelt which has caused wide
spread comment Is the manner in which
Mrs. Metcalf. the wife of the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor, dodged the
young lady. It was first announced from
Washington that Mrs. Metcalf would en
tertain Miss Roosevelt on her visit to
this city on her way across the Pacific.
It is known that every plan was made
at the home of the Metcalfs in Oakland,
and Mrs, Metcalf arranged to come to the
Coast from Washington a few days ahead
of the party In which were Miss Roose
velt and Secretary Taft.
Suddenly, however, there was a change
and it was announced that Miss Roose
velt would take apartments at the Palace
Hotel. Mrs. Metcalf came to the Coast a
few days after the party had departed
for the Orient, and remained here during
the Summer. She left for the East, how
ever, a few days before the return of
Miss Roosevelt from the Philippines. Of
course, all this may have been a mere
coincidence, but nevertheless. It has fur
nished the foundation of countless tales
told in polite drawing-rooms.
The local school department. In an ef
fort to build up the pupils of the schools,
physically as well as mentally, "has or
ganized a number of swimming", clubs,
among the scholars. The movement has
become so popular that before the end of
the year nearly every school will have
a regular club. "These clubs, some of
which number nearly 200 members, go on
certain days to the public swimming
tanks and enjoy .a half-hour's splash.
Each club is led by a teacher, and those
who are unable to swim are Instructed.
It Is the plan to each every pupil In
the schools to swim. In each school the
boys have a club and the girls a separate
organization. Membership Is voluntary,
but no one has yef" been found who Is
not anxious to join. Each -club Is to have
a costume of Its own, and the girls of
the various schools are taking a deeper
interest for the moment in the fashion
papers than In the rule of three. t
The trusteesof Stanford University- are'
having a difficult time In filling the va
cancy on the board caused by the death
of Mrs. Stanford. It was the wish of the
founder of the college that an ahimnus
should succeed her. It Is the desire of
President Jordan to appoint an alumnus
who has bfeen an avowed advocate of his
policy, while the Alumni Association Is
anxious to name a man who will repre
sent It on the board. As a result, a cam
paign is being merrily waged which will
terminate with the election to be. held by
the board In a few weeks.
Or. Jordan has put forward Dr. R. L.
Wilbur as a candidate, but the older
graduates state that Wilbur, would be n
mere tool in the hands of the president,
and his appointment would be equivalent
to giving Dr. Jordan two votes. The
members of the Alumni Association have
as yet put forward no candidate, but will
soon unite on one man and urge his elec
tion. Two years ago the state voted to Issue
bonds to the amount of 52,000.000 to Im
prove tlie waterfront at San Francisco.
This money was to be expended for new
docks, for widening the channel at cer
tain points and for enlarging the seawall. -The
bond Issue has been tested in the law
courts and has been found -to be consti
tutional. However, there Is a clash of
authority, and as a consequence the bonds
have not been offered for sale.
The State Controller, moreover, asserts
that he does not intend to put the bonds
on the market. The situation has become
ludicrous, but a prolonged lawsuit now
appears as the only solution to the prob
lem. ,
As a feature of the . practical course In
agriculture given each year for the bene
fit of the farmers. of the state at the
University of California, an apple show is
to be held this year at which specimens
of the fruit from every section of the
Pacific Coast will be placed .on exhibition.
A special study will be made of this
fruit. The methods of raising, care of
the trees, the most profitable varieties,
and the disease of the apple will be In
quired into, under the direction of the
professors of the agricultural department
of the college..
today that Mrs. Gardner had been com
pelled to abandon her Idea of getting
works of art into the country free of duty
because of the establishment of her mu
seum In Back Bay, to which a limited
number of people were admitted each
year, and has settled with the Treasury
Department the last claim it held upon
her with a check for between 51S4.00O and.
$195.000. Because of the settlement. Mr.
Swift said, it is not Improbable that the
"museum" will be closed for all time to
the public.
Thomas Shevlln. of Minneapolis, has Riven
$00,000 for the erection of a woman's build
ing at the University of Minnesota. There
were 1250 women In attendance at the uni
versity during the last year, with no spe
cially equipped building for their rest ana
recreation.
DENVER JUDGES AT OUTS
Have Conflict. Over Jurisdiction in
Case Against Liquor Law.
DENVER. Oct. 23. Two Judges of the
District Court of this county came Into
conflict today over the cases of seven
saloonkeepers charged with keeping their
places open after midnight and permitting
