We must therefore return again and agaln as a child goes to school day after day un- til our lessons of life are learned, he sald.

CHICACD HAS | INSURANCE ROW Officers of Federal Life] Company Charged With the Manipulation of the Stock CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Another life in- surance investigation, with the Federal Life Insurance Company as the central figure, is in prospect as a result of the | filing of a bill in the Circult Court by J. Ellsworth Griffin of Chicago, a promoter, and Burton C. Smith of Miiwaukee, In | which they charge that the company s | in the complete control of a small group of officers who have succeeded in perpet- uating themselves in office through the manipulation of stock. The company, which was organized in 1900 with a capital stock of $150,00, has among its officers and directors men prominent in Chicago and throughout IIli- | nois. In asking for an injunction to re- strain the Union Securities Company, a holding company for the Federal concern, from voting 1110 shares of stock in the Federal at any meeting of stockholders, the complainants set forth that President Isaac Miller Hamilton and several asso- ciates, in pursuance of a conspiracy to obtain control of the Federal Life, se- cured tue organization of the Union Se- | curities Company under the laws of Ari- zona and procured the transfer to it of 1110 shares of the Federal Company. As a result of the organization of the Becurities concern and the alleged dom- ination of the Federal by Hamilton and his friends, it is declared, Individual stockholders have been deprived from having any voice in the selection of its directors, An application thet wgs made in Judge Mack's court yestérday for a temporary injunction to restrain the Union Securi- | ties Company and its representatives from | voting the stock of the Federal Company brought to light the fact that the 1110 shares of Federal stock owned by the ! Securities people have been transferred | to President Hamilton as trastee and that | he was empowered to vote it at stock- | holders’ meetings. Judge Mack held that | he had a right to vote the stock in such | & capacity and on that account declined | to issue a restraining order. Counsel for | the complainants, however, announced | that tney would ask for a permanent in- | junction and an order ef court directing the BSecurities Company to transfer to | such persons as are entitled thereto all | of the Federal stock now held by it. | SRR B, e !

The only difference is that I have been ac- quainted with the handwriting of Sam- uel Davis longer than I have with you, and, familiar as your face Is to me, the handwriting 1s more familiar.” Shown an exemplar of the admitted- ly genuine handwriting of Daws, In which appears the name “George . Batés,” and asked his opinion as to how It compared with the name as written in the codicll, Judge Freeman said that if there was any material dif- ferenco it was in favor of the codicil.
