INSURANCE FIRM
TANGLE IN GOURI
Officers of Cosmopolitan Life
Deny Fraud in Organization
and Loose Management.
Affairs of the Cosmopolitan Life In
surance Company. Atlanta's newest
company, with $1,300.oor» of insurance
In force, are being tired before Supe
rior Judge Bell as a result of receiver
ship and injunction suits filed by cred
itors and dissatisfied stockholders Ihe
suits charge the officers of the company
and Joel F Armistead, general agent,
with fraudulent organization methods
and gross mismanagement calculated
to wreck the company These allega
gations are denied In toto by the com
pany's management.
The case has been complicated by
the action of stockholders representing
approximately $125,000 of the com
pany’s capita! who have petitioned In
surance Commissioner W. A. Wright
asking that the state intervene 'under
the new insurance statutes and take
over the company’s affairs.
The chief allegations in the original
suit brought by Dan Sudderth, a for
mer salesman for the company, and A.
Griffin, a stockholder, are directed
against the company’s methods of or
ganization. It is maintained that Joel
Armistead, present general agent, who
organized the company, took 4.665 1-2
shares of capital stock for his promo
tion comnpission, giving his personal
note unsecured for $586,825. This
amount of stock is said to be worth
$466,550 at a par value of SIOO a share,
but as the stock was sold two for one,
Armlstead’s holdings renresent $933,100.
The company is capitalized at $1,000,-
000, but the stock sold two for one to
give the organization a capital of sl,-
000,000 and a reserve of the same
amount.
Extravagance Is Denied.
In answer made to the court the offi
cers of the company and Armistead
deny that the latter’s purchase of stock
was fictitious and assert that Armistead
already has paid into the company
$307,000 and has anticipated the pay
ment on his 1913 nQtes.
It is charged that the officers of the
company, C. L. Anderson, E. M. Yow,
J. S. Hollingshead, Paul Trammell, Ed
M. Hafer, Joseph Hirsch, Thomas B.
Lumpkin and others, have been extrav
agant in the management and reduced
the assets of the company to $50,000.
This the officers deny, and list the
company’s quick assets at $500,000.
Armistead, it is maintained, has a
contract with the company to get 90
per cent of the first year’s premiums on
Insurance and ten per cent thereafter.
It is this phase that the state officers
are expected to investigate. Affidavits
of Commissioners Wright and Copeland
introduced in court assert that such a
contract would be ruinous to the com
pany's affairs, ultimately wrecking the
concern.
The officers and the management of
the company deny the existence of ex
actly such a contract, but maintain that
Armistead. who personally assumes the
expenses of solicitation of insurance,
gets a percentage varying as to the
kind of policies written.
The attorneys engaged in the case
are Little & Powell. M. u. Goldstin
Fermor Barrett and Cliff Walker, fol
the plaintiffs and various Interventors,
and Rosser & Brandon, Anderson, Fel
der. Rountree & Wilson, J. D. Kilpatrick
and Charles T. Hopkins, for the com
pany.

She Had Consumption,
Was Dying, Now Well
Eckman's Alterative is being used with
success In the treatment of Tuberculosis

have taken it, improved, gained weight,
exhausting night sweats stopped, fever
diminished, and many recovered If you
are interested to know more about it,
we will put you in touch with some who
are now well. You can Investigate and
judge for yourself. Read of Mrs. Govert’s
recovery.
Griffith, Ind.
’’Gentlemen: Thinking that perhaps a
short history of the remarkable recovery
of my mother-in-law (Mrs. Anna Gov
ert) might benefit some other sufferers. I
give the following testimonial: About
September 10. 1908. she was taken sick
with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and continual
ly grew worse, requiring a trained nurse.
Night sweats were so bad that it was
necessary to change her clothing once or
twice every night; her cough increased
and got so bad that everybody expected
that she would not live much longer In
January, when Rev. William Berg, of St.
Michaels Church, at Shereville, Ind . pre
pared for her death, lie recommended that
I get Eckman’s Alterative, and see if It
would not give her some relief. I then
requested the attending physician to give
his diagnosis and he informed me that
she had Consumption and was beyond all
medical aid. When I asked if he thought
that it was useless to try the Alterative,
he replied that 'No physician could help
her any and I could suit myself about It.'
So I immediately had Rev. Wm. Berg to
send for a bottle Practically without
hope for recovery, i insisted that she try
the Alterative, which she did. I am glad
to say that she soon began to Improve.
Now*, she works as hard as ever, weighs
twenty pounds heavier than she ever did
before she tooK sick, and is In good health.
She frankly says she owes her life and
health to Eckman's Alterative.”
(Sworn Affidavit) JOS. GRIMMER.

Jeannette anti Son Lon Harwell, (laughters of Secretary C. 0.
Harwell, admiring one of the fine White Kock hens at the poul
try show at the Auditorium this week.
Coops Are All Decorated With
Ribbons of Winners in the
South’s Best Show.
The judging is over at the Great
Central Show of the South. The prizes
have been awarded, after two days of
hard work, to the best lot of poultry
ever gathered under one roof in Dixie
And for the remainder of th<» 'week the
enthusiasts who visit the Auditorium-
Armory will see grand birds, a world of
fancy stock and the finest showing of
strictly exhibition stock ever known in
the South.
The judges put In a hard day yester
day. The birds were so evenly matched
In several alleys that it was only after
the most careful and painstaking work
that it was possible to make any de
cisions at all. The Orpington, Rock
and Red classes were so marvelously
good that any one of a half dozen birds
in every class was good enough to win
first at an average Southern show and
the matter of picking the very best
from among so many specimens which
were so very* good was puzzling to the
judges and it took time, thought and
hard work.
With the tags up to show the owner
ship of the birds and the tickets an
nouncing the winners, the show* has be
come particularly interesting. Specta
tors can now tell the birds from the
Owen Farm, which did an $85,000 busi
ness last year; of the Aldrich Poultry
Farm, that has spent SIO,OOO in the last
couple of years for White Orpingtons
alone; from Asa G. Candler, Jr.’s Briar
cliff Farm, which is the most expen
sively stocked in the South; from Ba
con & Haywood's place at Guyton, Ga.,
the largest poultry farm in the South in
point of number of birds bred. They
can also tell the winners and can com
pare and study the points of excellence.
Exhibitors at the show are express
ing themselves as well satisfied witli
the sales they have made. The fact
that this is destined to be a grand sea
son for breeders and fanciers is daily
becoming mbre evident and In the vol
ume of business transacted this show
is likely to top all records.

FRENCH ‘SLAVER’
TO OF DEPORTED
Completing a two-year term in the
Atlanta Federal prison, accused of
bringing young French girls into this
country in violation of the white slave
act, Armand Lajarriges, at one time a
well-to-do wine merchant in Paris,
spent the night in the Tower, and early
today was started on his way to New
York to be deported to France. The
Frenchman is the first foreigner, other
than a Chinese, ever to be deported
from the Southern states. He is being
taken to New York by J. Adderholdt, a
guard of the Federal prison.
On arrival there, Lajarriges will be
placed aboard a France-bound steamer
and headed for his old home in Paris.
The former merchant was sent to the
Federal prison from New York, where
he was convicted. When he was freed
from the pen, he was immediately taken
in custody by United States officers
and transferred to the Tower.
Lajarriges is a man of distinguished
appearance. He is apaprently 50 years
of age, his hair and typical Parisian
mustache are tinged with gray, and he
walks erect and with the stride of a
soldier. He speaks English brokenly,
almost unintelligibly.
Lajarriges is the second Federal
prisoner to be ordered deported within
♦he pas', few days. Lee Moin, a Chi
nese, is now in the Tower awaiting de
portation to China.
