BOX 266 POLICYHOLDERS URGED TO OUST OLD OFFICERS Committee Issues Address Calling For Organi zation to Defeat Present Management of Mutual Life and New York Life. Rj Prime LemeO Wire. New York, July 10.—For the purpose of ousting the present managements of the Mutual Life 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 fight. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, after ten days' notice. In the meantime the ex ecutive committee will take charge of the details of the Immediate work and will hold frequent meetings In New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere. Voting Begins October 18. The committee has until September 18 to file Its nominations of directors, who are to be voted for by the policy holders.. According to law, the admin istrations of the two companies are re quired to file their nominations before July 18. The voting Is to begin Octo ber 18, and continue until December 18. In part, the address to the policy holders of the Mutual and New York Life Is as follows: "These two insurance companies are mutual companies; that is to say, they lire owned by their own policyholders. The enormous accumulated assets of over 8900,000,000 represent the premi ums which you as policyholders have paid. "The law requires that the policy holders of a mutual company'ahall elect from among themselves directors who shall be responsible to all policyholders tor 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 2,628 votes cast, mainly proxies, In the two companies out of a total of over 1,200,000 policy holders, or less than 1-5 of 1 per cent.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGOOOOa custom among the officers to secure through agents proxies made out to the president or some o'ther officer of the company upon the delivery of the poli cy. In this wny tho voting power was gradually transferred from the policy holders to a fow of the executive of ficers centered In New York. "Thus It came about that the con trol of these two companies was grad ually taken out of the hands of the policyholders, and came under the ab solute domination*of a tow executive officers. Out of this system have grown the extravagances and other abuses, some of the particulars of which were brought out under legal pressure by the Armstrong Investigat ing committee. The self-appointed di rectors are still In control, and will re main In control, directly oy through their own nominees, unless you, as pol icyholders, decide otherwise by the ex ercise of your right of simple ballot voting, which has been restored by re cently enacted laws. "At the lost session of tbs legislature of tbs state of New York, the state which Issued the charter* of thess two companies, there was enacted a law which gives 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 October 12, 1905, shall he void. It fixes the data for ths election of of ficers. It gives to ths pollcyholdsrs ths privilege of nominating their own can didates, and ths right to vots by ballot as In ordinary elections, an£ to record that vots by malL We emphasize the fact that now Is the only opportunity for obtaining control of your properties at an election as hereafter, under the la#, only one-half the director* can be chosen 1ft any one year. How to Get Benefit "To receive the benefit of such a law. It Is necessary that the 1,200,000 or more policyholders should organize Into such working fores as to secure harmony of action In the selection of candidates for directors. Associations of policyholders have been formed In various parts of ths United States end 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 twsnty-fonr of the New York Life. “Neither the committee nor Its gen eral couneel will accept any compen sation for their services. Our nominees will be representative of every section as far as possible, but under the law. one-halt of each board must be resi dents of ths etat* of New York. "When from the names which we now Invite you to submit to us for consideration we have nominated candidates for directors, tbs elec tion of ■ these candidates will bo entirely In your hands. The directors now In power have nomi nated or will nominate for each com pany what Is to be known as ths ad ministrative ticket, using machinery which they now control through their possession of your property to defeat your candidates and elect themselves or other nominee*.

It Is said that thee nre to bo reunited and thnt It Is through Allen Corey, who Is the pride of his father and the apple of hie mother's eye. palgn, wo advise you to disregard the Influence which will be brought to bear upon you by the local paid agents, and to exercise In this, as In any other election, your own Independent and in dividual Judgment In the choice of the men who shall from this time forward act as the trustees.for your insurance savings. "If you as a policyholder will Intel ligently exercise thle personal choice and do what you can to so Instruct your Immediate friends who nre poli cyholders as that they shall not be misled by the efforts of paid agents, the object of this campaign In your interest is assured. "It is not the purpose of this move ment to disturb the actual working organisations of these two companies except so far as It may be necessary to correct the abuses which are the direct result of mismanagement at the execu tive centers. Up to New Management. "Certain 1 suits-have befen begun to recover moneys claimed'to have been misappropriated, wasted or lost, and It Is charged that other suits should be commenced. The further Investiga tion, the prosecution of such suits as have been begun and the commence ment of further suits. If any, for res titution, will devolve upon the new management. Those matters will con stitute no part of tho duty of this com mittee. * "The expense of thle campaign must be borne by the policyholders. It costs over $50,000 to place a circular In the hands of all pollcyholdsrs. "A committee of finance will have charge of all receipts and expenditures, and will see that all contributions re ceived from policyholders are expended In their Interest. At the completion of the campaign a detailed expense report will be rendered. * Contributions Needed. "Under these conditions and in the full belief that this movement Is one of the most important that has ever been inetltuted In this country, your committee feels free to urgo you ns a policyholder to forward to tho secreta ry such voluntary contribution (from 21 upward) as you may consider It your privilege to make. “Should the policyholders give ex pression to such a desire, this commit tee will endeavor to form a permanent policyholders' organization. which shall havo tho following among Its ob jects: "(a) To maintain a vigilant super vision of the conduct of the business of the companies and to make an Inde pendent audit of their books through Chartered accountants employed by the association. ■To Prevent Temptation. (b) To require the annual'distribu tion among the pollcyholdsrs of ths dividends to which they are entitled; and to prevent as far as possible the undue Increase of-the vast accumu lations which are the prolific sources of temptation to mismanagement and waste. "(c) To furnish ths beneficiaries of the policies, which mature by death or otherwise, a means of ascertaining whether the sum that'Is being offered by the company Is ths full amount to "(d) To prevent the payment to the officers of the companies of exorbitant salaries, the use of ths companies' funds for political purposes, and In ths corruption of legislative bodies. "(e) To see to It that the 222.000.- ... or thereabouts of stocks of banks and trust companies, which the compa nies are required ' to (fell within five years, are disposed of to the best ad vantage of policyholders.

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.
