Ily Private Lei led Wire.
New York, July 10.—Por the purpoee
of ousting the preaent managements
of the Mutual Lite and the New York
Life Insurance companies, the Interna
tional policyholders' committee met
here yesterday, elected officers and Is
sued an address to the 1,200,000 holders
of policies, outlining the issues In the
tlftht.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman, after ten
days' notice. In the meantime the ex
ecutive committee wiU take charge of
the details of the immediate work and
will hold frequent meetings In New
York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
Voting Begins October id.
The committee has until September
18 to die Its nominations of directors,
who are to be voted for by the policy
holders. According to law, the admin
istrations of tha two companlaa are re
quired to flle their nomlnaUons before
July 18. The voting Is to begin Octo
ber 18, and continue until December 18.
In part, tha addreaa to the policy-
holders of the Mutual and New York
Life la as follows:
"These two Insurance companies are
mutual companlaa; that la. to say, they
• ■■•ssuot vuiii|jatiico, mat is. i» buj , uifj
are owned by their own policyholders.
The enormous accumulated assets of
over 1900,000,000 represent the premi
ums which you as policyholders have
paid.
"The law requires that the policy
holders of a mutual company shall tlact
from among themselves directors who
shall be responsible to all policyholders
for the Intelligent and faithful man
agement of the company's affairs. As
the law formerly stood. It was practi
cally impossible for the policyholders
scattered throughout the world to vote.
In 1905, even after the agitation be
gan, there were 2,518 votea cast,
mainly proxies, In tha two companies
nut of a total of over 1,200,000 policy
holders, or less than 1-5 of 1 per
cent.
Voting Power Transferred.
"It gradually became a recognised

ually taken out of the hand* Ol
policyholders, and cams undsr the ab
solute domination of a few executive
officers. Out of this system have
grown the extravagances and othsr
abuses, some of the particulars of
which were brought out under legal
f treasure by the Armetrong Investigate
ng committee. The self-appointed dl
rectors are still In control, and will re
main In control, directly or through
their own nominees, unless you, as pot
Icyholdera, decide otherwise by the ex.
erclee of your right of simple ballot
voting, which hae been restored by re.
cently enacted laws.
“At the last session of the legislature
of the state of New York, the state
which Issued the charters of these two
companies, there wee enacted a law
which glvea to policyholders their ac
tual voting rights. The law strikes at
the very root of the evil. It cancels
all previously Issued proxies, and pro
vides that any proxy given In advance
of Cc.ober 18, 1808, shall be void. It
fixes the date for the election of of
ficers. It glvea to the policyholders tha
privilege of nominating their own can
didates. and the right t« vote by ballot
aa In ordinary elections, and to record
that vota by mall. We emphasise the
fact that now la'the only opportunity
fpr obtaining control of your properties
at an election as hereaftar, under the
law, only one-half the directors can bs
chosen In any one year.
How to Get Benefit
“To receive the benefit of such a law.
It Is necessary that tha 1.200,000 or
more pollcyholdsrs should organise
Into such working force as to secura
harmony of action In tha stlectlon of
candidates for directors. Associations
of pollcyholdsrs havt been formed In
various parts of the United States and
In foreign countries, each Independent
of the others. These associations have
united In an appeal to your committee
to act with the entire body of policy
holders In the selection of candidates
for directors, thirty-six of the Mutual
Life and twanty-four of tha New York
L "Neither the committee nor'Its gen
eral counsel will accept any compen
sation for their services. Our nominees
will be representative of every section
aa far aa possible, but under the law.
one'half of each board must be resi
dents of the state of New York.
“When from the names which we
now Invite you to submit to ua for
consideration we have nominated
candidates for directors, the elec
tion of these candidates will
be entirely In your hands.
The directors now In power have nomi
nated or will nominate for each com
pany what la to be known aa tha ad
ministrative ticket, using machinery
which they now control through their
possession of your property to defeat
your candidates and elect themselves
or other nominees.

MODERN PRIVILEGES
Or In Other Words the Ser

Last Solved.
We show here a type of gas range which must appeal
to anyone as being practical, common sense and convenient.
Access is easily had to the broiler, bake oven and cooking
top without stooping or bending. Full view of the baking
and broiling is a great advantage to the cook. In no stove
yet constructed is this better obtained. This range differs
from others of its type now on the market, in that it is
largely made of cast iron and is as substantially built in
every respect as it is possible to make it.
All of the latest improvements and best constructions
have been therein embodied.
It Helps Make Life Enjoyable
' With the finishing touches to tho cooking, you are ready to devote tho bal
ance of the day to tho beautifying of your homo. You can go at your fancy
work, attend the children nnd be on good terms with your husband. But with a
coal stove it’s different. You are married to tho stove forever, and if you got to
look out of the window you are lucky. You neglect your home and family. With
it y‘ou never reach the finishing touches. And in the long run it will finish you.
Use anJCstatc Range and you will always finish your day’s work early and have
time for recreation and pleasure.
We are pleased at any time to demonstrate the many advantages of tho Es
tate Stove or Range.
