BOX 200 POLICYHOLDERS URGED TO OUST OLD OFFICERS Committee Issues Address Calling For Organi zation to Defeat Present Management of Mutual Life and New York Life. 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 $500.00. gOiWOOOOOOOOOfWOOOOOOOOOM HERE ARE THE MEN HEADING MOVEMENT.

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.

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.
