To close out at.. ore | heard here to-day by State Attorney- General Mayer on the question whether or not the Bquitable Life Insurance So- |ciety may be sued for dividends on:an assigned poli Under the State insur- ance law a life insurance company may not be sued except by permission of the | attorney-general. The Lincoln National Bank, having obtained from John Graham a $0,000 policy, begs such permission. | Former Judge Dittenhoffer, who argued | for the bank’s position, described the pol- icy as one that was to run fifteen years, | with annual premiums of $2.156. Its sur- | render value at the expiration of fifteen years, he asserted, should have been | 833,900, but the Bquitable Socjety fixed it at $28,322 when that time had elapsed and paid only the smaller amount. The bank | to-day asked for permission to sue for the | @ifference, but its attorney stated that | the bank did not charge fraud, miseon- duct or misbehavior or cite any.ning de- | veloped in recent insurance legislation. Counsel for the Equitable declared that | the sum of $33,900 was merely an estimate |and that rates of interest on securities ard | had shrunk in the ffteen years of the | duration of the policy. He said the suit | would involve an examination of the so- clety’s hooks ta ascertain whether the | actuary's figures were not mere ‘guess werk”; that this would cost $100,000, and “that money would have to come out of NEW YORK, Feb.

Wife of American Who Dis- appeared in Mexico Appeals | to the State Department | NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The mysterious | disappearance in Mexico of Harry Mer- | vill Ellsworth, formerly of Brooklyn, has | led his bride, now in Brooklyn, to ask the assistance of the State Department at Washington in the search for her hus- band. Mrs. Ellsworth is the daughter of Wil- | liam Headen, former American Consul at | Pueblo, Mexico, and is now Hving’ with | her brother, William H. Headen. For the last three weeks detectives have been searching for the missing man, but no trace has beem found of him since he left Pachuca, in the southerm part of Mexico, where his wife last located him. | She fears that be has been killed by Mexican bandits, as he was known to have a large sum of money. He was the auditor of the Pan-American Department | of the Mexican Railway and was a well- | known man in that section. | Headen said last night: “My sister Ruth was married to Ells- | worth in San Antenio, Texas, on Sep- tember 20 last, Six weeks later, while | they were at Pueblo, it was decided that | my sister should be brought to New York to procure medical attention. “Ellsworth went to Mexica City on No- | vember 11 to arrange for tramsportation, i saying he would be back in a couple of { davs. He went away on Friday, and the following Monday telegraphed that he had been detaiped. As nothing was heard from him for several days after that, my sister | went te Mexico City and discovered at | the Ban Carlos Hotel, where he had been | staying, that, he had left there on Mon- e oefibes ate open all day from 9 | | day. She also learned that he had drawn m. to § p. m. and Sundays from 10 to 1. | | several thousand dollars from his bank, 7 {and had gone ostensibly to Pachuca. l)fi;";r,fi}kl:l(:m ;st). | “She hurried to that place, only to find Between Sixth and Seventh Strests.) s S i Bl o Ao oy 3 e o s She remained several days, making in- quiries everywhere. Then she returned to | Pueblo and last month, eame back to | Brookiyn, } “At tmes Ellsworth compleined of se- | vere headaches, and it is possible he may | have wandered away while mentally .de- |ranged. It is possible also that he may have fallen into the hands of bandits.” | CALIFORNIAN TWICE ARRESTED IN TUCSON | Realty Dealer Taken Tito Distress after meals, Heartbura, Custody as He Boards Fermentation, Water-brash. 3 = . o generstions of satisfed uaers teselfy | Train for Mexico. %0 15 great medictoa! value, s Simple, pleasant, reliable. 1t has been sold on merit more than 60 years.
