* THE ATLANTA GEORGIANS ■m °olicy holders Seem To Be Beaten in Balloting. New Y»*rk, Dec. 18.—With nil the ap pearance of a regular state election- excitement, confusion, shouting crowds and electioneering—balloting began today In special quarters in the New York Life, the Mutual Life and the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance com panies' buildings as the culmination of the desperate fight for control between the policyholders and the successors of the McCall, the Perkins and the Mc Curdy*. There were two tickets in the field In each company, the administration ticket and the International policy- holders' tickets. Rut from the time that the polls were opened at 10 a. m. all through the day, there waa every Indication that the policyholders* bit ter struggle to put officers into the companies that would forbid abuses, was doomed to defeat. The administration forces In the New York Life sprung a sensation when they brought In three hampers filled with proxies, each hamper, it was said, containing 40,000 ballots. The four state Insurance inspectors with State Superintendent Otto Kelsey at their head, accepted the proxies. Shortly afterwards Samuel Untemey- er, representing the policyholders, pre sented ten boxes of proxies, each con taining 3,600 ballots. Kelsey refused to accept these prox ies, but would give no explanation of his action, merely saying that he would attend to these proxies later. The voting was rapid. An hour before the NO GENERAL AGENT OF SEABOARD FOR ATLANTA IN FUTURE Special to The Georgian. Portsmouth, Vo., Dec. 18.—The Sea board Air Line railway has Issued an official circular from Its general of fices In this city announcing the aboli tion of the office of general'agent n: Atlanta.

The anti-administration this after noon delivered two van loads of votes at the polling places In the New York Life building, but even with this tre mendous number of proxies the betting ranged even that the administration ticket would win by 50.000 votes and 1 to 25 that It would be from 100,000 to 125.00*;. The votes which have been sent to the state department of Insurance by policyholders ull over the country, numbering 190,000, were deposited by Secretary McCall this afternoon. They were turned over to him by Isaac Field, one of the Insurance Inspectors. Mr..Untemeyer claimed 30 per cent of those votes.. Seized ( with a violent Illness a few j minutes after taking-a drink at a soda ! fount In a drug store, at North For syth and Marietta streets, W. B. Wil son, nn employee of Gutham's laun dry, died Monday within two hour* afterwards. Acute Indigestion was the cause M death, according to Dr. William T. Jones, of Marietta and Walton streets, who was called to attend the dying man. Rut that this was brought on by the drink there Is little doubt in the minds of those who cared for him. Wilson drove a laundry wagon and while on his way to the Hotel Tray- wlck, at 163 Marietta street, he stopped In the drug store for a drlhk. By the time he reached the Tray wick, only a few blocks away, he was violently ill and staggering into the hotel he asked that a physician be called. He was suffering from cramps and vomitlhg. but at first tho fdiyslclan was not Inclined to believe his case was serious. He was put In a bed and later sent to his home, at 136 West Mitchell street, where he died. In answer to Inquiries made at the hotel when he was taken sick, Wilson said he had eaten nothing for break fast except rice, gravy and coffee and It was tho opinion that the drink had brought on the attack. Wilson came to Atlanta six months ago from Macon and Is survived by a wife, three children and a mother, Mrs. F. C. Brady, of Macon. Tho funeral services will he con ducted Tuesday afternoon at tho resi dence, 136 West Mitchell gtreet. The Interment will be at Oakland cemetery. William H.
