PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 6.~Although the police and Coroner are not ready to charge that Mrs. George Wood, widow of the former American manager of the Royal Insurance Company, who was found dead on Oct. 13 In her home, 1239 Broad street, was murdered, it was declared to-day that elther just before or just after her death she was robbed of Jewelry valued at $75,000, valuable furs, an old masterpiece worth $15,000, hats and opera cloaks and. other cloth- ing and trinkets of large value, Mrs. Wood was a conspicuous figure in Philadelphia soctety for years, and | it 1s confidently expected a tremendous scandal or crime exposure will follow robbery.

These same friends tell how she wi swayed by men of indescribable na- | tonality, many of them speaking with broad foreign accent and wearing | ’ discus- | strange clothes, which spoke of the!

The mere fact that she was Inter- jonlan jested in forefgn men and women, and anum- that her will, supposed to have been| made after the date of the one pro. duced, was missing, created surprise, es- pecially when the 194 will was read.

TTS BUSINESS Metropolitan Stock Impaired to Extent of $150,000, Supt. Kelsey Finds. Stockholders Are Given Thirty Days in Which to Make Up Deficit. The Metropolitan Surety Company, of No, 88 Park Row, which was organized by men who hoped to cut into the busi- ness of Andrew Freedman's Fidelity and Guaranty Company, has ceased do- | ing business, and tt ts doubtful if it | will ever resume. The capital stock of $260,000 is impaired to the extent of $149,910.11, and the stockholders will have to make this good {f they want to continue. As an Indioation of the way the om- cers feel about tt, employees say they have been told to look for other posi- tions. Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey to-day made the following | statement concerning the Metropolitan, at his office, No. 9 Broadwa: “On Dec. 21 recetved a report, follows ing an examination which hed pro- gressed since last June and was not! fully completed, regarding the condition of the Metropolitan Surety Company. 1 immediately called up the president of the company and instructed him to cease | doing business. | “He informed me that the company had discontinued business in all States Jexcept New Jersey and was winding up there. Yesterday the examination by | Seth C. McArthur was practically com- |pleted, and, on the showing that the capital stock was impaired nearly $1660,- | 000, I directed that the business of the) company be closed down. “I have already served the officers of | days in which to act.

You capnot even see It unless you get this woman's per- mission.” This was the decision of Magistrate Fitch In the Flushing Police Court to- day, against Mrs. John Stockenberg, of No. 46 West One Hundred and Twen- tleth atreet, Manhattan. Mrs, Stockenberg, who was a Mrs Ida Deyke six years ago, placed her }aon Carl with Mrs. John Mulligan, of Hillside avenue, Flushing. The boy was then seven years old. Mrs, Deyke went abroad, She ret ned recently and sought her son now « manly little fel- low of thirteen. Mra, Mulligan refused to allow # meet- ing. The mother learned that Carl was an inmate of St, John’s Protectory, Here also she was denied, She was told that the boy answering her description was “Charles Mulligan,” and not Carl Deyke. \-vhe mother was married to Mr. Btock- Jenberg last month, and then again ought her child. Finally she appealed to the Police Magistrate. | When the case was called ex-Judg: clinton B.
