Gius Edward’s Song Aet One of the Features at
the Forsyth.
i Mlle. Odette Le Fontenay, who was
engaged to be one of the stars of the
Oscar Hammerstein New York Grand
Opera Company, and who has filled
some important positions in musical
successes both in Europe and in
America, is the newest star, in modern
vaudeville, and is to be the feature of
the bill announced for the Forsyth
daily matinee and evening perform
ances this week,
It is a remarkable fact that within
the last year some of the great stars
of the dramatic world have been en
listed in the vaudeville army, and now
{t appears the managers are after the
greatest stars of the musical comedy
and operatic world,
Mle. Le Fontenay was a pupll of
the world-famous Jean de Reszke and
has sung leading roles in “Pagliacyi,”
“Carmen,” “Madam Butterfiy” and
“La Boheme" in royal opera in Spain,
and her success in Paris as “Louise”
was what attracted the attention of
the famous Hammerstein and brought
about her engagement.
Of course, comedy will play an im
portant part in the general make-up
of the bill, and one fo the comedy fea
tures will be Emmett Devoy and com
pany In a domestic playlet, “The Old
Hag." The sketch deals wth the
mother-in-law topic, but in a way
ltlm is thoroughly surprising. The
mother-in-law has had to stand the
short end of most of the jokes that
have been given the world, but now
comes an author with a play and the
mother-in-law is the idol. The sketch
has been played with marked success
in the principal theaters, and comes
to the Forsyth as a special feature.
Willlam Sisto, a character come
dian of real gquality, a success on every
i vaudeville bill, will present his spe
‘\-ml'\_\'. “The Italian Statesman.” The
entertainer deals with politics accord
'ir‘._: to the views of the “wop,” and
(!here are funny ideas that wil surely
entertain. Another featurs on the bill
will be the appearance of Gus Ed-

Favorite Lena Rivers
For the week beginning to-morrow
afternoon the Jewell Kelley Company
will offer the ever-popular comedy ru- }
ral drama, “Lena Rivers,” In response
to the many requests made by patroas
of the Bljou for this play.
The four acts are laid in the beauti
ful country districts of Kenlm“(y, and
will be produced under the personal
stage supervision of Mr. Kelley. The{
story of the play is too well known
for rehearsal, and the characters have

Missourian Declares He Will Not
Support President’s Bank
Board Appointee.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—The open
refusal of Senator Reed, of Missouri,
to take part in a caucus on the nomi
nation of Thomas D. Jones, of Chi
cago, for the Federal Reserve Board
and the opposition of other Demo
cratic Senators have brought to an
unexpected halt the plan of the Ad
ministration leaders to force the Dem
ocrats {nto a conference on the ap
pointment.
‘““The suggestion of a caucus on ap
pointment is a most unusual thing,”
sald Senator Reed. “The considera
tion of this nomination is not prop
erly a party matter. I don't care to
be considered a party rebel, but I will
not take part in such a conference.”
The friends of the President in the
Senate now declare the Senate mem
bership g tied on the Jones nomina
tion and that the vote of Vice Presi
dent Marshall will confirm him, but
this is not borne out by the polls made
daily by those who are opposed to
Jones. They show he is still about
five votes short of confirmation.
Declaring that he does not intend
to help place {n control of the finances
of the United States any man who'ls
“solemnly charged by the Government
with having assisted for five years in
operating a trust created for the pur- |
pose of robbing the farmers of my}
State and all other States,” Senator
Reed, in a lengthy statement, com
pares President Wilson's letter n
dorsing Mr. Jones for the Federal Re
serve Board with the latter's testi
mony before the Senate committea,
and says no Democrat can consistent

A FRANK STATEMENT
Correcting Garbled and Partial Newspaper Accounts
“Truth Less Than the Whole Truth Is No Truth”
The Empire Life Insurance Co., Solvent and Prosperous
" The Atlanta Constitution, under
date of July 18, purports to give an
account of a bill filed for the purpose
of putting The Empire Life Insurance
Company in the hands of a receiver
on the Bth of March, 1914. The ac
count published in The Corstitution
{s 80 Inaccurate and so unjust to the
company that it {s deemed appropri
ate, in the first place, to warn the
public against reports appearing In
certaln newspapers as to the proceed
ings that are being taken in the pres
ent case against The Empire Life In
surance Company, and also to set out
precisely the truth as to the bill which
was flled last March.
It is true that on the 6th of March,
1914, there was presented to one of
the judges of the Superior Court of
Fulton County a petition of two
stockholders of this company setting
up certain facts and praying for the
appointment of a receiver, and a ruls
to show cause was granted upon this
petition, and the officers of the com
pany acknowledge service upon it.
These stockholders were entirely
friendly to the company; and it is
true that this bill was filed after a
conference between the stockholders
and the president of the company and
the general counsel and certain of
the officers and directors of the com
pany. But this bill was filed for a
particular, specific purpose, and it was
stated to the judge of the Superior
Court at the time the bill was filed
that the danger which confronted the
company at that time might not ma
terialize, in which event the bill would
not be pressed. The grounds set
forth in that bill, to which any mem
ber of the public is entitled to have
access, were that an examiner of the
Insurance Department of this State
had fileq a report in which he had
ocharged the company with certain
items as liabilities which had never
been charged to the company before,
*and which it would be unlawful for
the company to pay, amounting to
more than $100,000; that the company
had sold $250,000 of stock in Augusta,
Ga., and at that time a dissension had
arisen between the board of directors
and its Augusta stockholders, and the
Augusta stockholders were seeking to
rescind their contract or subscription
and to hold up $250.000 of the com
pany's money which was deposited
{n one of the banks in Augusta, and
that owing to the fact pending an in
vestigation of these matters the In
surance Commissioner was holding up
the company’'s annual license, which
should have been granted the Ist day
of March, and which up to that date,
namely, the 6th day of March, had
not been granted, it was necessary to
take some action to prevent the Au
gusta stockholders from rescinding
their contracts and holding up this
sum of $250,000 in prejudice to the in
terests of other stockholders in the
company. It was alleged in this bill
that if the company was required to
pay these amounts of money the
company would be Insolvent and
could not continue the insurance busi
ness, and that it would be necessary
to appoint a receiver to reinsure its
business so that {ts policyholders
could be protected, and to distribute
the remainder of its assets to its
stockholders.
Immediately following the filing of
the bill all of the matters which made
the flling of it seem expedient in or
der to force equality among stock
holders were relieved, because, UPCN

Clarence Haverty, vice president

‘They were met in Chicago by J. J.

‘and, accompanied by managers of the
ten Haverty stores, visited the great
furniture expositions In* Chicago,

and D. B. Rustin, of Savannah,
Speaking of the trip, Clarence
‘Haverty expressed himself as thor
:oughly pleased with present condi
tions in the furniture trade, and is
enthusiastic over the outlook for the
coming season. He says that during
his many trips to these annual fur
niture shows, which are always at
tended by thousands of prominent
business men from every section of
the country, he has never observed
a more pronounced spirit of optimism
than now prevails. Mr. Vorus is
equally confident of continued good
business.
P.G. Keeney Goes to
HibernianConventi
P. G. Keeney, deputy clerk of the
Superior Court, will leave Atlanta
Sunday to attend the natlonal con
vention of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians at Norfolk, Va., after which
he will visit New York, returning by
way of Savannah. ;
He will be accompanied by Mrs.
Keeney. There wlll be a considerable
delegation, made up of Hibernians
from other parts of Georgla, to at
tend the convention.
TER, it was found that certain inac
curaclies had heen made {n the pre
liminary report which had been filad
by the examiner of the Insurance De
partment, and that the company was
not llable for the $95,000 which was
asserted to be a liability, and that the
company was entitled to its license.
In this investigation the company’'s
position was fully vindicated, and it
was so thoroughly conducted as to
satisfy fully the Augusta stockhold
ers, and they thereupon became loyal
friends of the company, and the
money in the Augusta bank was made
available for the use of the company,
and sifce that time has been put into
the erection of the building in Augus
ta, which is to be the home office of
the company upon its removal to Anu
gusta., With the exception of not
exceeding three stockholders in the
city of Augusta, every single one of
the large number of stockholders {n
this company in and about Augusta,
after a full investigation had been
made of the company's affairs, came
into the stockholders' meeting: and
promised the company their loyal and
enthusiastic support, and &dhe compa
ny, at its last stockholders’ meeting,
at which there was one of the largest
attendances ever had at a stockhold
ers’ meeting, by unanimocus vote, set
tled all the matters necessary for this
company's carrying out its former
plans of moving to Augusta and con
tinuing its business there.
So that, while in March the com
pany’s abfility to continue in business
was threatened by internal dissen
slons, these dissensions were thor
oughly and utterly wiped out and the
company’s stockholders are now, with
the exception of one or two persons,
in complete harmony and unison, and
all the reasons for the flling of the
former bill have finally and fully
ended, and for that reason was nev
er heard of again.
© The need at that time for receiv
ership was not on account of any in
solvency of the company, for the
company wdas not insolvent, but it
was on account of the fact that the
Augusta stockholders were threaten
\ng to bring suit to hold up the
$250,000 of the company's money,
wvhich was in bank at Augusta at that
time, as the proceeds of the sale of
the stock to the Augusta stotkhold
ers.
Irdeed, so thoroughly has all dis
agreement with the Augusta stock
holders been relieved, when thils pres
ent bill by Judege Brown was filed,
they got together in Augusta and
emploved coungel to intervene for
them in this suit and to make de
fense against {t, and are actively as
sisting the company in the defense
of the present litigation, which is be
ing prosecuted by a sinqle stockhold
er against the company. The perfect
harmony and confidence existing be
tween this company and its stock
holders and policyholders at
this time is also evidenced
by the fact that as a result of news
paper publications which have been
made since the pendency of this suit,
brought by a single stockholder, the
company has received hundreds—it
would be more accurate to say thou
sands—of letters protesting against
the proceeding and expressing con
fidence in the company.
The public should furthermore un
derstand that even in the most un
favorable view of the preliminary re
port which was filed bv the exam

other hand, it showed that the com
pany was solvent and amply able to
take care of its every obligation, and
as has been previously stated, upon
a hearing it was discovered, that the
preliminary report of the examiner
which, though honestly made, con
tained inaccuracies, owing to the
fact that the examiner did not have
before him full information as to
the matters as to which he had re
ported; and upon the further infor
mation coming in, and upon ths rul
ings of the Insurance Commissioner,
under the advice of the Attorney
General, a new examination was
made, the inaccuracies and errors
were corrected and a new report filled
showing the company thoroughly and
abundantly solvent. This erroneous
and preliminary report was never
made as an officlal report to the de
partment, nor was it ever accepted
as such.
Notwithstanding that the examin
er of the Insurance Department who
filed this report testified during thae,
present week that this preliminary
report did contain Inaccuracies, and,
notwithstanding that he testifies that
even his preliminary report did not
show the company to be Insolvent
and that on the contrary it showed
that the company, during the last
two years, had done a successful and
profitable business, giving the figures
to show these facts certain newspa
pers have attempted to garble the
testimony of this examiner as if he
had filed a report which showed the
company to be insolvent, and had
been losing money. This examiner
further testified that unless this com
pany was beset with further litiga
tion, and if it was allowed to go on
and continue its business in the man
ner in which it had been carrying it
on for the last two years, that it
would, In his judgment, be in posi
tion to pay substantial dividends to
its stockholders in the near future.
He further testifled that from his ex
amination, which was most thor
oughly made, he found that every
dollar received bv the officers of this
company had been honestly account~
ed for.
Being of the opinion that the pubde
lic, especlally that portion of the
public which is interested in the af
fairs of this company, should be ac
quainted with these facts, which cer
tain newspapers have refrained from
publishing, with apparent delfbera
tion, we have thought it best to in
sert this advertisement to give out
this information. We do not care
to try our litigation in the newspa
pers, but the nature of an insurance
company’s business is such as to
make it extremely sensitive to any
unfair or any inaccurate reports of
matters relating to it.
Although the reporter of The Con
stitution tried to make it appear that
the filing of a former bill was a sen
gational plece of news, Mr. Latimer,
of counsel for the petitioner, ltatad
that he had received this information
from two sources, one being Judge
Powell, of counsel for defense, and
the other a director of the company,
thus showing that no secret was
made of the filing of such petition for
ifnjunction after the necessity for
such step ceased to exist
