A meeting of the board of police com- missioners was held last evening for the purpose of considering the opinion render- ed by Corporation Attorney Gardner 1. Boothe to the effect that a member of the police force might become a candidate for an elective office while still a member of the force, provided his candidacy did not con- flict with the duties of his position. The question, as heretofore stated, applies to Policeman Frank C. Spinks, who has an- nounced himself a candidate for the office of city sergeant. Commissioner Herbert ryant offered a resolution that Officer Spinks be requested either to resign from the police force or to withdraw from the contest for city sergeant before March 31. olution was carried, Commissioners . Miller and Price voting for it and Simpson and Commissioner Noble sey voting against it.

The controversy over the election for managers, held by the Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company of the Disirict in January last, which recently occupied the attention of Justice Cole in the Equity Court, and is now on appeal to the Court of Appeals, as- sumed another phase this afternoon. At- torneys Wilton J. Lambert and D. W. Ba- ker, on behalf of Messrs. Frederick A. Andrew Ar- chen Charles W. Lehman and Samuel H. Walker, filed a bill in equity, naming as de- fendants the insurance company, Timothy W. Murphy, Richard A. Johnson, George T. Dearing and George C. Walker, and asking the court to enjoin the defendants from canceling the policies in the Mutual Com- pany held by the complainants, and to re- quire the former to make a proper division or distribution among the policy holders of the large surplus fund alleged to be held by the company. By the petition the court's attention is called to the cases now upon appeal, and it is averred that at the election held January 15 the complainants were duly elagged man- agers, but, it is alleged, by reafoh of the litigation referred to, the defendants are only temporarily holding over as an acting board; that as euch, without, it is said, any authority, they notified the complainants the 13th instant that at the expiration of ten days their policies would be canceled and any money due the insured would then be returned. It is charged in the petition that this action was taken in an attempt to nullify the effect of an adverse decision by the Court of Appeals; that such action is a fraud upon the latter court as weil as upon the complainar.ts, and that by reason of alleged negligence and bad management on the part of the holding over board, state- ments rendered have been inaccurate; that the complainants carry about $91,600 insur- ance in the company, represented by a large number of policies, and are, it is averred, entitled to participate in a surplus fund of $50,911 and a fund of $36,570 due from lapsed policies, both of which, it is claimed, the defendants unlawfully refuse to distribute among the policy holders. It is also claimed that the company is now carrying as undistributed assets $113,- 000 more than Congress permits it to hold, and the complainants contend that their policies represent valid and subsisting co tracts which cannot be arbitrarily abro- gated by the defendants before their ex- piration in December next. ‘The court it requested to enjoin the de- fendants from interfering in any way with the rights o: complainants or other policy holders similarly situated who may care to take part in the suit. It is further prayed that the defendants be compelled to make proper distribution to the policy holders of all funds justly due them on account of the policies referred to. —_>—_—_ Benefit to Mrs. Mary Manly Haywood.

Walton R. Caton of for the Brief Meeting of the Executive Coun- cil Today. The session of the executive council of the Amertean Federation of Labor which began at 9 o'cloek this morning in Typographical Temple was 4 brief one, an early adjourn- ment being taken in order that members of the body might keep appointments at the Capitol with senators and representatives, with whom interviews were to be had re- garding labor legislation. On account of the necessity for a brief session no business of importance was completed. Members of the ‘councll will appear be- fore the committee on labor of the House of Representatives this afternoon to argue in favor of the eight-hour bill. Tomorrow the council will appear before the judiciary committee of the House in advocacy of the anti-injunction pill. Mr. Clarence 8. Dar- row of Chicago has consented to appear peters the same committee to speak in vor of the bill. The council will meet again this evening. Yesterday's Session. The council has approved an application for charter for a state federation of labor, with headquarters at Loulsville, and efforts will be made for the consolidation of this body with one at Covington, which also made application under the charter {ssued. James Duncan of Boston, secretary of the Granite Cutters’ National Union, made a report regarding the national demand of that organization for an.eight-hour work day. He said that there are several thou- sand granite cutters now on strike for the eight-hour day. He stated that the or- ganization was in good financial condition to maintain the strike for a considerable period of time, and believed that absolute success would be achieved before the ex- haustion of the funds. He, however, re- quested the financial assistance of organ- ized labor, should that. be necessary, and the executive counofl thereupon adopted a resolution to enforce an assessment upon the members of all organizations affiliated for five consecutive weeks, should it be necessary for the Granite Cutters’ Union to make the application. The application for the charter for the Beer Bottlers’ International Union was re- Jected, and the bottlers now organized were directed to become part of the Brewery Workers’ National Union, except those which ere now directly affiliated to the A. F. of L., and which have agreements with their employers. The dispute between the International Union of Steam Engineers and the Coal Hoisting Engineers’ Union was referred to President Gompers to se- cure the basis of the amalgamation of both organizations. ‘The bill pending in Congress for the Stops the Cough tara nna Works Of the Cota. xative Bro pulnine blets_ cur ld in one mee Beet Be.
