Missouri Corporation.
' Kansas City, Sept. 25. Charles H.
Vioe, treasurer of the Home Mutual
Aid association, which had offices in
the Temple block at Missouri avenue
and Walnut streets, has disappeared
and taken with him the books of the
association and thousands of dollars
which have been wrung from the pub
lic by false representations within the
past eighteen months. lie left not a
dollar in the treasury with which to
pay the claims against the association.
All that he did leave was several bush'
els of printed matter, a cheap desk
and a couple of chairs in a bare, un
carpeted room.
The Home Mutual Aid association
Was incorporated under the laws of
Missouri, February 14, 1894. Its first
officers were Frank Sullivan of Edina;
Mo., president; JV1. 1). Holuster, Kan
sas City, secretary; C. H. Vice of Edi
na, treasurer, and W. C. Hollister of
Edina, financier. It was incorporated
a fraternal beneficial order. It insured
men and women between the ages of 14
and 65 years. An insurance policy for
81,000 in the concern cost the Insured 98
a month, and for that he got $1 a day
during sickness, not exceeding ninety
days in any one year, and $1 a day
when temporarily disabled by acci
dent, it he was totally disabled tie
got the full amount of his policy, or
the full amount was paid to bis bene
ficiary at death. The benefits, to
worn in members were as liberal as to
men.
neiore the association was a year
old there was a change in officers and
Colonel Adonis Anderson, an aged
Justice ol the peace ol Mendon, Ma.
because its president, J. F. Snow was
made vice president, T. J. Randolph
secretary, VV. Jj.Unggs attorney and Dr.
C. A. Bitter, supreme medical director.
Vice was always its treasurer. August
26 last there was another change in
the official staff. Anderson and Vice
continued as president and treas
urer, but L. Villeroy and William
West of Oklahoma were made re
spectively vice president and secretary
of the association. Villeroy and West
seem to have been innocent of the
condition and purposes of the associa
tion when they went into it. They
say they were and they have remained
here to face the consequences of Vice's
flight and to lay the matter before the
criminal prosecutor.
Vice is from Edina, Mo., where his
father is a farmer.
W. L. Griggs, who acted as attorney
for the association up to six weeks ago,
says he resigned because he discovered
that Vice was grabbing every dollar
he could get his hands on and paying
out nothing. Mr. Griprgs is familiar
with the business of the concern since
its inception. He says the association
had as high as sou members at a
time and that in the eighteen months
since its incorporation Vice has taken
in $11,000 and paid out $4,000 in sick
claims. The association never paid a
death claim, although several have
been presented and there are two
death claims for $500 each now pend
ing. Claims against the association
for sick and accident benefits are com
ing in daily and $800 worth of them
have accumulated since the departure
of Vice. -
FOUGHT A DUEL.
Rival Beaux Quarrel Over a Belle and
Both Are Killed.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25. A duel to
the death was fought near Camilia,
Mitchell county. Beversly Eagan and
William D. Shaw are prominent young
men . living in the southern part of
that county. Both have been in love
with Miss Netta Carter, the belle of
the community. They were at a bache
lor's dinner, given by a friend, and the
wine flowed freely. Just how the two
men got into a discussion over the
young lady does not appear, but it
soon became a quarrel and then Kagan
dared Shaw to shoot it out. Without
any unnecessary preliminaries they
walked out into the road, took their
positions about thirty paces apart and
at a signal agreed upon both began
firing. Eagan was instantly killed.
Shaw was so badly wounded that he
has since died. The affair has created
great excitement.

ILLINOIS TAXATION.
Startling; Report , Made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. -Springfield,
111., Sept. 25. The
most sensational report ever issued by
a state bureau was made public by the
Illinois bureau of labor statistics.
It charges that the great majority
of the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois,
and more especially of Chicago, are
perjurers; that the assessors are guilty
of malfeasance in office, that the pres
ent financial condition of Chicago is
directly traceable to the corrupt sys
tem of taxation, and that the "deplor
able condition of work is due to the
liberty-destroying methods of taxation
which prevail in Illinois."
J. he report is made up of a mass of
tables compiled from official reports of
assessors, banks, real estate transfers,
boards of equalization and the various
municipal departments - to which the
agents of the bureau had access.
After declaring that "it is the purpose
of the report to expose existing meth-
odt of taxation in Illinois, with special
reference to their effect upon the labor
interests," the board proceeds to re
view the work of former bureaus. The
stand is taken that it is idle to dwell
upon the wages and condition of the
average wage earners of the state.
The bureau contends that the condi
tion "is proved by evidence so clear
and abundant that the compilation of
any further statistics would be wasted
effort." The bureau takes the posi
tion that "taxation is the chief instru
ment of tyranny."
Investigating Tammany Administration.
New Yobk, Sept. 25. Seth S. Terry
and Rodney S. Dennis, commissioners
of accounts, began their first public
investigation under the law passed
by last winter's, legislature appropri
ating ?100,000 for the use of the city's
regularly authorized investigation
committee in the work of showing up
alleged irregularities in the conduct
of the business of several municipal
departments under the late Tammany
administration. .
