18 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. POTOTIAND, FEBRUARY IS, 1906. CO AFTER H'GURDY udge Peckham Urges Bring ing Suit Promptly, BEFORE HE GOES ABROAD "Ex-Director Says Mutual Iiifc's Chief Delinquent, Sliould irave 'o Chance lo Escape Pea body Reassures Him.' NEW YORK, Feb. 17. The recommen dation that a suit be Instituted against Richard A- McCurdy. ex-president ol the Mutual Life Insurance Company, is made in a letter written by United States Supreme Court Justice Rufus W. Peckham to the special investigating - committee of the Mutual and made pub lic today. The" letter states that the suit should be begun before Mr. McCurdy leaves this country for Europe, as is his reported Intention, and Its object shpuld be to recover money which McCurdy may owe the company. In making this letter public Charles A Peabody, president of the "Mutual, gives oiit a letter of his own. in which he said that he did not think Justice Peckham would have any reason to llnd fault with the action of the company relative to the matter to which he refers. The Peckham letter was given to Mr. Peabody by William H. Truesdale, the chairman of the Mutual's special inves tigating committee., to whom It was orig inally written- Justice Peckham was formerly a trustee of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. His letter, dated at V ashington, Feb. 12, Is as follows: Mcgin Suit Before He Goes. "I sec that it Is publicly .stated that Mr. McCurdy is preparing t& leave for Europe to remain indefinitely, and I think it would be an Inexcusable mistaKe for the Mutual Life Insurance Company lo permit him to leave the country with out the commencement of an tiction against him in the name of the company to recover the money he owes it, "The Attorney-General might properly find fault that the company was not it self doing its utmost to recover the money wrongfully obtained by McCurdy, the chief delinquent In the case. I take the greatest Interest In the matter, and I feI as though an action ought to be commenced before the departure of vMr. McCurdy for Europe. Does It not so ap pear to you? "The board at the meeting, as 1 under stand, gave authority to the president to commence any action which the counsel oi ine company aavisea, ana sucn coun sel advised as to Mr. McCurdy that an action could be maintained against him. "Surely no further delay ought to be had which might result In Mr. McCurdy's departure without action against him. "I write your committee because your action carries great weight. I hope it may be in the line of urging tho Imme diate commencement of a suit against Mr. McCurdy." Peabody Promises Action. After reading this letter Mr. Peabody sent the following letter to Mr. Trues dale: "Judge Peckham's opinion in connec tion with the matter lias great weight, and justly so. I do not think be will have any reason to find fault with the action of the company in the matter to which he refers, and I shall certainly do . all that Is in my power to work out a Tcsult which will meet with his commen dation." Good Cause or Action. Justice Peckham's letter called forth a reply from Mr. Truesdale. of the investi gating committee, dated February 14. In this letter Mr. Truesdale explained that it She investigating committee in a ronort to the Mutual trustees on December 17 last recommended that action be taken against Richard A. McCurdy, Robert F. McCurdy and C. H. Raymond, "to recover excessive amounts for salaries, commissions and other allowances made them in recent years." It explains, too, that these recommenda tions were referred to Mr. Pcabodv with instructions to take legal advice, and that Mr. Peabody callod In Joseph H. Choate, who. In a letter dated about January 30, "advised the president that, owing to vari ous engagements and one which required him to immediately leave the city for a few days, it had been impossible for him to give a full and careful opinion on the matter submitted to him, but that, from - the hasty examination he, had given, he believed the company had cause of action against ex-President McCurdy and that at an early date he would give a further opinion covering the several matters sub mitted to him in detail."

CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-(Spccial.)-What is looked upon as something of a rebuke to the practice of granting offhand injunc tions against labor unions at the very in ception of strikes was administered by Judge Joseph E. Gary, nestor of the Cook County bench, today, when he re fused to grant an injunction restraining the Association of Building Trades from calling strikes on buildings where non union men were employed. The injunc tion was asked for by the National Stone cutters' Society, which is declared to be an organization of nonunion men, fos tered, supported and managed by the em ployers themselves. The Judge later threw out an amended petition asking the court to restrain members of the Association of Building Trades from arguing with members of the Stonecutters' Society to stop wo'rking on "strike" buildings and to restrain them from congregating and picketing. "Grant this injunction? "Why, I would be depriving those men of their iersonal liberty and violating the touclistone of the Constitution." said Judge Gary- WILL FIGHT TO A FIXISH.

Fob. 17. (Special.) The committee of seven appointed by the min ors' scale committee to draft the scale to present to the coal operators has de termined to make the strongest fight for an even eight-hour day, and if this Is rejected there will be a strike of both the anthracite and bituminous miners throughout the country. This demand was formulated in greatest detail today by the committee. The demand for an eight-hour day comes from the outside men, and many committeemen admit that the union will be in difficulty from the Inside if this demand is not fought to a finish. One third of the union members arc outside men. and they arc -working anywhere from nine hours a day up. JEROME 1C. JEROME LAYS BLAME OX SUNDAY SUPPLEMENTS. Term Them Appalling- Effort to Re duce "Wit to Term of the Meanest Intelllgrnec. KANSAS CITY. Fob. 17. Jorome K. Jerome, who is horc, made some com parisons today. "It seems to mo," he aid, "that the American people have been surfeited with humor. So many brilliant men have "written and Joked for so long that thoy have become jaded. I thought at first that the American sense of humor was radically less subtile than ours in England, but now I know better. It is simply over fed. "Mark Twain Is, I believe, the only living- humorist of the old American school, and he. like FalstafT, is growing old. But the subtile touch that Eng land likes still, and America liked once, is still his. You laugh with him now, I think, more from a sense of duty than a sense of tho ridiculous. You have grown tired and need coarser fare to stimulate your appetite. And I've discovered the cause of it, too. It yls the comic supplement of the Sunday papers. "The ,Sunday comic is appalling-, isn't it the effort to reduce humor to the terms of the meanest Intelligence? Is that one result of democracy, I wonder? "Do you know, this country has dis appointed me in one way. I expected something different. I thought when I came here that you had gone ahead of us in some things. We are domi nated by the aristocracy, and you are ruled by the capitalists. Instead of the people owning the wealth of the country, it Is all held by a few men. One man owns all the oil; another one man makes all the railway rates. Some other man owns some other thing that is indispensable to all the people. "You seem to have started all over again from the beginning. Our barons forced the Magna Charta from King John, and it seems to me that here the people must force their Magna Charta from the barons."
