POLICYHOLDERS URGED
TO OUST OLD OFFICERS

zation to Defeat Present Management of
Mutual Life and New York Life.
By Private Lea»ed Wire.
,\>w York, July 10.—For the purpose
of ousting the present 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
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
IS to nie 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
mutunl companies; that Is to say, they
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 elect
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 practl-
rally Impossible for the policyholders
scattered throughout the world to vote.
In 1905, even after the agitation be
gan, there were 2,528 votes cast,
mainly proxies. In the two companies
put 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 recognized
$500.00.

custom among the officers to secure
through agents proxies made out to the
president or some other officer of the
company upon the delivery of the poli
cy. In this way the voting power was
gradually transferred from the policy
holders to a few of the executive of
ficers centered In New York.
Thus It came about that the con-.
„jl of these two companies was ui
ually taken out of the hands r.f
policyholders, and rnine under the ab
solute domination of a few 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 or through
their own nomlneee, unless you, as pol
icyholders, decide otherwise by the ex
ercise of your right of s.mple ballot
voting, which has been rentored by re
cently enacted laws.
"At tbs last session of the legislature
of the state of New York, the state
-which Issued tho chatters of these two
companies, there was enacted a law
which gives to policyholders their ac
tual voting rights. The law strikes al
the very root of the evil. It cancels
all previously Issued proxies, and pro
vides that any proxy given in advance
of October 18, 18M. shall be void. It
fixes the dats for tbs election of of
ficers. It gives to the policyholders the
privilege of nominating their own can
didates, and the right to vote by ballot
as In ordinary elections, and to record
that vote by mall. We emphasize the
fact that now Is the only opportunity
for obtaining control of your properties
at an election si hereafter, under the
law, only one-half the directors can be
chosen In any one year.
How to Get Benefit
■To receive the benefit of such a law,
It la neceieary that the 1,200,000 or
more policyholders should organize
Into euch working force as to secure
harmony of action In the selection of
candidates for directors. Associations
of policyholders have been formed In
various parts of the United States and
in foreign countries, each Independent
of the other*. The* associations have
united In sir appeal to your committee
to set with the entire body of policy
holders In the selection of candidates
for director*, thlrty-elx of the Mutual
Life and twenty-four of the New York
Life.
"Neither the committee nor Its gen
eral counsel will accept any compen
sation for their senrloe*. Our nominees
will be representative of every section
as far as possible, but under the law.
one-half of each board mu.t be reel-
dents of the stst# of New York.
"When from the names which we
now Invite you '» *ubmlt to us for
consideration we- have nominated
candidates for dlrectora, the elec
tion of these candidate* will
be entirely In your hand*.
The directors now In power have nomi
nated or will nominate for each com
pany what la to be known as the ad
ministrative “#‘352
which they now controlthroughthelr
nosseseton of your property to defeat
your candidate* and elect themselves
or other nominee*.

their son, Allen, and Mr. Corey'a uls
ter. Miss Ada Corey. It la sold that they
nre to be reunited nnd that It la through
Allen Corey, who le the pride of bis father
palgn, we 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 tills personal cholco
and do what you can to eo Instruct
your immediate friends who aro poli
cyholders as that they shall not be
misled by tho 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
organizations of these two companies
except es 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 eult* have been 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, tho prosecution of such eult* os
have been begun and the commence
ment of further eults, if any,- for res
titution, will devolve upon the new
management. Those matters will con
stitute no part of tho duty of this com-
mlttee.
"The expense of this campaign must
be borne by the policyholders. It costs
over 160,000 to place a circular In tho
hands of all policyholder*.
"A.committee of finance will have
charge of all receipts and expenditures,
•ind will see that all contributions re
ceived from policyholder* are ekpended
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 I* one
of the most important that has ever
been instituted In thl* country, your
committee feels free to urge you as a
policyholder to forward to the secreta
ry such voluntary contribution (from
21 upward) ae you may consider it your
privilege to make.
"Should tho policyholders give ex
pression to such a desire, thl* commlt-
:ee will endeavor to form a permanent
policyholders' organization, which
shall have the following among Its ob-
**"(•) To maintain a vigilant super
vision of the conduct of the business of
the companies and to make an Inde
pendent audit of their boqks through
chartered accountants employed by the
association.
To Prevent Temptation.
(b) To require the annual distribu
tion among the policyholders of the
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 source*
of temptation to mismanagement and
waste.
“(c) To furnish-the 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 the full amount‘to
"(d) To prevent the payment- to the
officers of the companies of exorbitant
salaries, the use of -the companies'
funds for political purposes, and In the
corruption of legislative bodies.

MODERN PRIVILEGES
Or In Other Words the Ser
vant Question Is At
Last Solved.
We show here a type of gas range which must appeal
to any one as being practical, common sense and convenient.
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.
If Helps Make Life Enjoyable
"With the finishing touches to the cooking, you are ready to dovote the bal
ance of tho day to the beautifying of your homo. You can go at your fanejj
work, attend tho children and be on good terms with your husband. But with a
coal stove it’s different. You are married to tho stove forever, and if you get to
look out of the window you are lucky. You neglect your home and family. With
it you never reach tho finishing touches. And in the long run it will finish you.
Use an Estate Range and you will always finish your day’s work early and have
time for recreation and pleasure.
We are pleased at any time to demonstrate the many advantages of the Es
tate Stove or Range.
