■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

polls opened a long line of men waited
on the side streets alongside each of
the three Insurance buildings and
crowds of curious passersby watched
the progress of the election.
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

“She showed wonderful Interest In
