Indianapolis, July 19.-Governor Hanly insists that the return blanks
that are filled out by the corporations in this state for the state board of tax
actly as the blanks indicate. "Mr. Marsaid the governor at the meetof the board, "the blanks sent to the company that you represent, the American Telephone and Telegraph company, ask for specific information concerning the salaries of officers, wages of office employes and other laand ask for a separate account of the office expenses. None of these questions was answered. These quesare crossed off on the returns made to the board, and other items are substituted. Why is that?" Board to Have Those Answers. "Our manner of making returns has always been satisfactory before," reCharles E. Martindale, "and they are filled out' this year as they were heretofore." "That is beside the point," rejoined
the governor. "Here is a series of defquestions; they call for definite and specific answers. Can you get them for the board." Martindale promthat he would see to it that the returns were made out as the blanks indicate and sent to the board. Curiosity as to Stocks. The governor showed a certain curialso, with respect to the market value, or the actual value of the stock of the Postal Telegraph company, which was represented by F. W. Sam"One of the questions on the blank concerns the market, or the actvalue of the stock," said the gov"and yet no reply is made to this at all." "The stock is not on the market," reSamuels. "It certainly has a
value, notwithstanding," commented
the governor, "and we want some idea as to this real value. If it is not furus by the officials of the comyou represent, we will have to guess at it, and you may be sure that our guess will be of such a nature as to protect tbe state fully, at any rate."

New York, July 19.-Four of the
members of the international policy
holders' committee of the Mutual and New York Life Insurance companies,
who were included in the new board
of trustees nominated by the Mutual Life Insurance company trustees as an
"administration ticket," have declined to permit the use of their names in this
connection. On their behalf a protest
was forwarded to Otto Kelsey, state
superintendent of insurance at Albany, by Samuel Untermyer, counsel to the
policyholders' organization. Despite this protest it was stated by counsel
for the Mutual that the trustees have
a right under the law to nominate
whomsoever they choose, and that refor withdrawal cannot be con
sidered once the nominations are anMen Who Refuse to Serve.
The four members of the policyhold
ers' committee affected are Judge Geo.
Gray, of Delaware; General Benjamin F. Tracy, of this city; Colonel Alfred M. Shook, of Tennessee, and Harlow
N. Higinbotham, of Chicago. All of
these gentlemen sent telegrams to Unthey were nominated without being consulted and without
their consent. Acting for the policy
holders' organization Untermyer also
sent a protest to Albany against the
manner in which the lists of policyin the various insurance com
panies have been filed. He says the
companies have failed to give the prop
er addresses in many instances and
have been guilty of "wilful evasion. Points of Untermyer's Protest.
Untermyer's protest says in part as to the lists of policyholders filed by
the insurance companies: "They are
a wilful evasion intended to disfran
chise a large proportion of the policy
holders, and to secure unfair advan
tages to the administration ticket in
the impending election. Section 94 of the insurance law, as amended by the
last general assembly, distinctly re
quires the lists to contain the last
known postoffice addresses of all pol
icyholders. That phrase has a recog
nized meaning in legal construction. It
means that the street and street num
ber as well as the name of the post-
office shall be given. A list giving the addresses of numerous 'John
Smiths' as New York is a palpable vio
lation of the law. The addresses of a very large proportion of the names of policvholders in large cities are thus given without street or street
numbers."
ROAST FOR UNTERMYER
Is
Suspends His Service While He First Calls a Man a Liar and Then Drubs Him. Marion, Ind., July 19.-Rev. Joseph Best, who has been conducting a series of revival meetings in this city, caused a panic at the services by denouncing a stranger in the congregation as a liar and then when the object of his wrath resented it proceeding to give him a drubbing. The men clinched and struggled in sight of the congregation, and it was plain that Best was doing a good job of trouncing when members interfered and separated the combatants. In the
meantime the tent was practically cleared of women and children, who
ran into the street. After order was restored Best finished his sermon.

Hartford City, Ind, July 19.-Ode Smith, a widow glass blower, is in jail, accused of mayhem, while his vicFrank Watson, is in a serious condition, the result of losing his ear in a fight.

Humor and Philosophy

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
Loaf and the world loafs with you; Work and you work alone, For the wise old earth Wants an easy berth, But has labor enough of its own. Sing and your next door neighbor Will, if he's feeling stout, Pound on your door As he hears you roar And tell you to cut it out. Work till you get a million Safe In your ample mitt, And your ancient jokes Will amuse the folks, And, oh, you will make a hit! Next take in wheat a flier, And when your cash is shy Every one then--the way of men--give you the icy eye. Purchase an automobile Speedy and red and wide, And one and all At your beck and call Will come at the chance to ride, But if you're in the business, Holding the cars for lease, They will be shy If it is to buy At the price of a plunk apiece. Favors don't come for nothing; That is a mortal cinch. They are designed To be paid in kind, Measured off inch by inch. If there is nothing in it, Then will the motley crew Throw you a brick In a double quick And haughtily call, "Skiddoo!

Fixed by Wages. Did you ever have hay fever? No; I mean to ask, What is your sal
ary?
If it is below $10 a week you never
have had it. If it is above $50 of
course you are a sufferer. In between
those sums it is sort of optional and
depends on circumstances. Suppose a
man is getting $40 a week. With that amount some people would suppose that he could buy all of the luxuries of the season, but wait and inquire into
his case.
Suppose he has eight children, all hard
on shoes, and a wife who is trying to
keep up with Mrs. Brown, whose hus
band gets $65 a week and passes. How
can he afford to go sniffling about and
reading half tone literature about the
summer resorts? He simply can't do
it and must be content witn some
much less expensive disease.
President Peabody Says That He After Control Himself.
When Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, was
shown Untermyer's protests, he said
"I am not surprised, but I am afraid the gentleman has let the cat out of
the bag. Perhaps his solicitude that there shall be a good board is not so great as his solicitude lest the control
of affairs shall pass out of his hands.
I certainly shall not go to him for in

were men well fitted for trustees.

"The truth is that Mr. Untermyer,
in my judgment, is not altogether the disinterested public benefactor he would
have the policyholders understand. He
made up a list of gentlemen of excel
lent character, calling them by the
high-sounding name of the 'interna
tional policyholders' committee' and asked them to meet in New York. It
is absurd to say that they were dele
gated to this work by the policyhold
ers. No one could, by any possibili
ty, have reached the policyholders in
such numbers as to secure any proper
mandate from them.
"We know perfectly well that their commission came direct from Mr. Un
termyer, who personally solicited them
to accept places on the so-called com
mittee. The gentlemen upon the com
mittee undoubtedly were moved by high purposes, and felt that they were
doing their duty; but when I tell you that of their twenty-eight members
who constituted the committee not
more than eight were policyholders in
the Mutual Life Insurance company it is clear that they are subject to the charge of attending to some one else's
business.
Good to Tie To. "There's a girl worth marrying." "Heiress?"
"No; better than that." "Explain." "Says she would never try to reform

Bravery Beaten. None but the brave deserve the fair. That statement causes one to scoff, Because it is so very rare A rich man cannot pick one off.
Of Course. "She talks a great deal on the sub

Was Alfred Beit Married?
New York, July 19.-Speculation as
to whether Alfred Beit, the South
