The investigation takes the form of a suit for $200,000 and for injunction on behalf- of alL the policy hold- ! ers of the company, the- defendants ; being J. N. McEachern, president; 1. ( M. Sheffield, secretary; R. H. Dobbs, , J. Covington - and-d. N. McEachern, -1 as directors. j The plaintiffs are Estella Evans, * i Laura .Manning and Gus Davis,, tho < latter of whom sues in the name of his next friend, Laura Manning. 1 j They allege that the company,which 1 has offices in the Austell building, and ( which insifres negroes almost exclusively, is a mutual concern, and that 1 they, as policy holders, have a right 1 to participate in tfc? distribution of j all funds left over after the payment ( of all claims and proper operating ex- j penses. ' , The several plaintiffs aver that they have paid sums of from 10 cents to 5 25 cents a week each, and that nei- j ther of them is now in any way be- ] hind with his or her payments, or ] In any way indebted to the company. 1 It is alleged that In the last report 1 of the company the balance on hand i wo? cat rlrvwn as oillv SIT.dOO. While, it is alleged, this should have been an amount cf from $300,000 to $400,- ^ 0(A). They charge that the officers of 1 the company have in some way im- : properly gotten rid of or lost at least j $200,000 belonging to the policy hold- J ers, and. suit is brought for that amount. The charge is specifically made that since the year 1900 the officers of the i company have diverted $50,000 a year 1 that justly should have gone to the policyholders, who, by virtue of the * company being mutual, are also stock- [ holders. - 'f c The following allegations concern- 1 ing the year 1903 are used as an illus- i tration. It is alleged that the income of the company during that year was j $299,723.25, and that the claims paid i amounted to $33,421.90, or $216,311.35 1 less than the income for the year. But, it is alleged, of this large excess over claims all but $1,969.83 was got rid * of in some way by the officers of the company, "contrary to equity and good morals." j It is alleged that each policyholder is compelled'to give up his proxy to j one or two officers of the company, and thai, they now hold the proxies \ of all policyholders, by which means, it is alleged, the officers have managed i to maintain their control of the com pany. It is alleged xaat .rnssiuem, McEachern administers the property i of the company as though it belonged to him personally. . ^ The further allegation Is made that the officers have threatened to wind up the company and transfer' all its 1 business by February 15 to a new company, for which a charter has \ been secured, and the name of which is to be the Atlanta Industrial Life Insurance company. If this alleged intent is carried out, so the petitioners declare, they will ' be absolutely without recourse. Therefore, they ask an injunction forbidding the transfer. ) SENATORS AFTER BIGELOW. Author Must Answer for Criticism of Canai Commissioners. . The senate committee on interoce- i anic canals Thursday ?, placed in the hands of Sergeanat at Arms Rans- < dell a subpoena for Poultney Bigelow the author and traveler, whose attack 1 on the management of canal affairs was denounced by Secretary Taft in a communication sent to congress by President Roosevelt. The committee's purpose is to let v Bigelow substantiate his story if possible, and, if that is not done, to remove the stigma placed upon the i names cf several officials of tne lstn- < mian canal commission. 1 "RED SUNDAY" PORTENTOUS. 1 Russians Look Forward to January 21 . and 22 With Anxiety.

Graft Is not to be measured by size alone. The little grafter i3 just as bad In bis way as the big grafter whc accumulates his thousands and hundreds of thousands in a manner that will net bear scrutiny. If graft Is to be 'abolished'the' work 'of abolition must permeate all branches of society, for graft is worse than the dandelion ar burcock, or cockleburr root. An eastern physician writes that he has been offered a commission by the proprietor of a "health resort" on every patron sent. That is graft. A New York physician was offered i commission of 10 per cent, on all business sent to a crematory firm, A1 Bret thought this might seem like a legitimate offer, but when one considers the status of the family physicIan it takes on the earmarks of a rery contemptible bit of graft. Traveling men know full well thai i small "present" will often influence i department buyer to favor a certain line of goods, but it is gratifying tc know that the* traveling salesmen , arc beginning to fight that sort of thing But the buyer who engages in it is guilty,ot a very contemptible graft.

How It Often Happen* From Coffee; "I had no idea," writer a Duluth nan, "that it was the coffee I had been irinking all my life that was responsible for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute ncrvonsness whtch unfitted me not only for work hut alsc for the most ordinary social functions. "But at lhst the truth dawned upoc me, I forthwith bode the harmful beverage a prompt farewell, ordered ir some Postum and began to use it The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days.

I AWARDED KANSAS NEGRO | vp/i11 ni--. ri??? fi 111 i of\w ricww b , of Lyons* Present Term?Other i Heads Are Slated to Fall Into,' ' the Capitation Basket. v ??? i A Washington special says: Pres* i ident Roosevelt Saturday announced ' the appointment of W. T. Vernon, L principal of the Quindaro Institute i J at Quindaro, Kans., to be register of ' the treasury in succession to Judson L W. Lyons. Charges were preferred [ against Vernon, but they were not sus1 tained by the investigation made by ' the direction of the president. Lyons was at the white house dur ing the day and learned from the 1 president himself that there was no , I chance of his reappointment to the ( | office he holds. The fact that Lyons I : 1 is republican national committeeman | from Georgia did not save him. Vernon of Kansas had the indorsement i of Booker T. Washington. k This turn down of Lyons, coming coincident with the announcement * that Rucker, colored collector at At% . lanta, is to lose out, and that Deveaux 5 at Savannah is to meet the same fate, I means that no negroes are to hold , important offices in the southern states, where it is possible to find a reason for putting white men in their places. This is from now cn to be President Roosevelt's policy. Probably Crum, at Charleston, will be the only one left by the time the president . goes out of office, and his lease on life come3 through his having been the president's own appointee. By applying a two-term yard stick to all colored office holders-.throughout the south, the administration expects to rid itself of all those who were put into high office by President McKinley through the influence of Senator Hanna. In addition, to Lyons, Rucker and Deveaux, those to go at . the end of their present terms are: Robert Smalls', collector of the port i at Beaufort, S. C.; Joseph W. Lee, collector of internal revenue for Flor" ida; J. E. Bush, receiver of public moneys at Little Reck; Walter Co* hen, receiver of public moneys at New Orleans, and James Lewis, sur5 veyor general for Louisiana, under the department of the interior. t All were active lieutenants of Mr. Hanna in his campaign, which re. suited in the nomination of Mr. McKinley in 1896. In that ante-conven> tion contest Mr. Hasna gave his prom ise to .care for these t men, and his strong hold upon the southerh colored i contingent was due to his sincerity in keeping his promises. The Influences wiich have brought about this new policy on the part of President Roosevelt are two: first, the better understanding of Hie south and i its people, which President Roosevelt > acquired during his recent trips j ! through that section; second, the act- j ive opposition of Booker T. Washing- -j ' ton to the appointment of southern | ' negroes to office. ' Washington advised President Mcj Kinley against such appointments in 1397, but his advice had no weight * against the influence of Senator Hanna. He is, however, much closer to President Roosevelt than he ever was to his predecessor in office. ; In his educational work Washingf ton does not have the sympathy of f the political contingent ~ of his own race, north 'or south. These do not take kindly to his doctrine that the colored man should give himself over to material pursuits, eschewing polltics. In his educational work Washington does not have the sympathy of the > political contingent of his own race, t north or south. These do not take [ kindly to his doctrine that the col? ored man should give himself over to > material pursuits, eschewing politics. There is a strong anti-Washington 1 element among the colored men of ' the country, and among these aligned 1 with that element is Lyons. Appar[ ently for the sole purpose of striking at these McKinley-Hanna colored officeholders it was announced some r time ago that unless excellent rea ohrmrn Tin federal of- J sons cuutu uc ouu..M ? - ficeholder would be given a third term. This rule iias not been applied to 1 any of the white officeholders, but it 1 is to be rigidly enforced against those 1 with dark skins. 5 SENATOR BACON HONORED. ) r Georgian Appointed Member of" |n? t ternational Law Society.
