POLICY HOLDERS OPPOSE CHANGE

Insurance Policy Holders Want Lafayette Life Insurance Co. to Remain Mutual. , •More than 100 policy hplders of the Lafayette Life Insurance Cq., who reside within a s radius of 100 miles of Lafayette, met Monday to protest against the proposed plan to change the organization from a mutual company to a stock company. Bertram Day, formerly of Indianapolis, president of the company, presided at the meeting. Prof. William D. Nye, of Purdue University, represented the policy holders. Attorney Dan W. Simms spoke for the company and said that some change must be made in the organization in order to enlarge the business. It was decided to hold another meeting Dec. 20, and at that time an effort will he made to change the organization, but still to conduct it along mutual lines. Many of the policy holders who favor the mutual plan say that the stock plan would take the control of the company out of the 5,000 policy holders and place it in the hands of fifteen men and that dividends now shared by the policy holders would go to the stockholders. There are a large number of holders of policies in this company living in Rensselaer and Jasper county.

COMPANY M CALLED OUT FOR DUTY

Will Assist South Bend Company in Stopping Gambling at the Porter Race Track. Quartermaster-General Charles R. Garrard notified Captain Healey, of Company M, last night at about half past nine by phone to have his company in readiness to leave on the milk train this morning for the Indiana Mineral Springs race track at Porter to assist Company F, of South Bend, in preventing gambling at the track on the races. Many of the boys had retired for the night and a number of them live at Fair Oaks and Parr, others in the country and some were working at Remington, Wolcott and Monon. These were all notified by phone to report for duty and by three o’clock this morning fortyfour members were equipped for the trip. Two automobiles were sent to Fair Oaks and brought down nine members of the guard who were working at that place. Forty-seven members took the train this morning to. Hammond, from where they went to the track by interurban. First Lieutenant True D. Woodworth was unable to go on account of his sickness and he was greatly disappointed, as he has served for more than ten years as an officer and this is the first call for active service the company has ever received. A number of the members of the company are school boys under age. It is probable that the company will be at Porter only a day or two but in case the stay is prolonged an effort will be made to have the school boys sent home. The services the militia will be called to perform will be very light, and will consist simply in surrounding the track and denying admittance to everyone. The action of Gov. Marshall in calling out the militia was caused by the local officers refusing to do their duty. Gov. Marshall is now in California making speeches but instructed his private secretary before leaving for there to call out the militia ii necessary tQ stamp out gambling at the track and the action yesterday was the result. Tht Indianapolis Star this morning has the following in reference to the action: The Indiana National Guard, acting on orders of Governor Marshall, issued in his absence by his secretary, Mark Thistethwaite, will take possession of the race track and grounds of the Mineral race track and grounds of the Mineral Springs Jockey Club In Porter county today to prevent the further operation of Chicago gamblers. After receiving advices from Burns detectives, employed by the state, that there was more gambling at the Porter race track yesterday than any day last week, Mr. Thistlethwaite last night directed Brig. Gen. Charles A. Garrard, quartermaster of the Indiana National Guard, to call out Company F, of South Bend, and Company M, of Rensselaer, Third Infantry. The troops will proceed to Porter county this morning and take possession of the race track before the hour for the afternoon races. The gateß of the park will be barred and the guardsmen will be placed about the fence to prevent any one from entering the grounds. Maj. George W. Freyermuth, of the second battallion, who lives in South Bend, will have charge of the troops. George fi. Healey is the captain of the Rensselaer comi&ny and Capt. Guy E. Kimble is in command of the South Bend guardsmen. Brig. Gen. Garrard, who will be present as a representative of the state, departed last midnight for Porter. He was accompanied by T. H. Brannaman, a representative of the attorney general’s office, who will be his legal adviser. The South Bend company will go tc Porter on a special interurban car, while the Rensselaer guardsmen will travel on the Monon railroad to Hammond and thence to Porter by trolley. (Burns detectives who have been employed by the state to, attend the races each day and gather evidence to be used against the gamblers, telephoned from Chicago to the governor’s office last night that there was much gambling at the Porter race track yesterday and that it was conducted with less secrecy than on any day since the opening of the meet. After receiving this information Mr. Thistlethwaite issued orders immediately for the troops to proceed. “The state regrets to take this action, and it was only after we had resorted to every other method without results that we have called upon the troops,” said Mr. Thistlethwaite. “Sheriff Wood, in response to commands from the Governor to enforce the laws, reported to us that he would do his duty, but he failed in his efforts to stop the gambling. John A. Gavit, one of the directors of the Jockey Club,,told us Sunday during an interview which he Bought, that he would co-operate with the state in upholding the law. We placed confidence In him and we believe that on his return home he did everything he could to stop the gambling. With the sheriff failing to handle the situation and with one of the directors of the company unable to stop the gambling, we have, as a last resort, called on the military arm of the law to drive the gamblers hack to Chicago.” | Mr. Thistlethwaite last night made ptfblic the fall contents of the mes-

MARTIN FINED FOR POSTILL ASSAULT

Young Man Who Escaped From Officers Fined $25 and Costs— Father Pays Fine. George Martin, the father of young Charlie Martin, who escaped from the officers a few evenings ago, after being arrested for beating up William Fostill, this afternoon entered a plea of guilty to assault on behalf of his son before Squire Bruner. Young Martin was assessed a fine of $25 and costs, $39.90 in all, which his father paid, and Martin is now at liberty to make his appearance again. ’ (Since his sensational escape from the officers a few nights ago, the officers have been unable to apprehend him, although they think they have a fairly good idea where he has been hiding. Before his escape he entered a plea of guilty but escaped before sentence had been passed, the justice desiring to ascertain the extent of Postill’s injuries before passing sentence, as at that time there were indications that his injuries might prove fatal.
