Mr, Mille made no secret to-day of | his entire disguat with the situation, } He ts going to make one last effort to | | straighten things out by having a man | of force and experience placed at the head of the board, with power over all lother officers, including President Alex- | ander and Vice-Presidents Hyde and Tarbell, and in this he will have the e@upport of other conservative men on ‘this committee, If the ideas of Mr. Mills and the others are not followed out there is Uttle doubt that Mr. Mille will retire from the Board. Panic Among Agents, The retirement of so many big men from the Board and the disposition to panic of the agents In other States, to- wether with threatened indépendent investigations by Commissioners of insurance from other Staves, has caused consternation among the fol- lowers of both Mr, Alexander nnd Mr, Hyde, Tho one balm for them waa the Announcement of August Belmont to- day that he would atick, for the present anyway. To a friend Mr, Belmont 's reported as having sald: “Lewill serve on this Nominating Com mittee and do what I can to straighten things out. T do this only because I bd- Neve it is my duty." Supt.
