The application of Edward Wilson, sen

sented by Judge Aiken of Sioux Fall,
whj made the plea that hi client had
thoroughly reformed and had made hi time

was opposed by States Attorney Coleman
of Moody county, who was backed In hi
effort by a long remonstrance against
clemency, which waa further backed by
tetter from resident of that county giving
their reason why no clemency should bs
exercised. Wilson is under life sentence

ILLINOIS BANK IS CLOSED
Director of Peoria Natlonnl Decide
that Institution Shall Retire
from Bnalneae.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. The comptroller
of the currency ha received a telegram
announcing that th Peoria National bank
of Peoria, III., ha closed It doors upon
the order of It directors.
PEORIA. 111., Oct. 7.-The Peoria National
bank did not open It doors today. C.
H. Bosworth has been appointed receiver
and will take charge of the bank's affairs
pending liquidation. This Is the result of
action taken by the board of director at
a midnight meeting.
When th news that the Peoria National
had been closed had spread depositors 'he
ban to flock Into the Dime Savings bank
In which Dougherty 1 a heavy stockholder,
and by 1$ o'clock the bank wa experiencing
a heavy run. At 1 o'clock the building waa
besieged by anxious depositor and
officials posted the sixty day sign. They
announced that the bank was to be kept
open until all depositors are satisfied.
In financial circles tt l not thought that
the bank Is tn danger as It ha $500,000 cash
In hand.
Shortly after 11 o'clock thl forenoon Mr.
Dougherty came from the Dime Saving
bank, where he had been closeted with Mr.
O. J. Bailey and other gentlemen concern
ing the securities which he had deposited.
He went directly to th school board office
In the Library building, where he talked
freely about some phases of his affairs.
'Mr. Dougherty, have you any statements
yon would like to make concerning this
affair and it developments?"
"I don't know what more I can say than
what ha already appeared," he replied.
"I see by the paper that I am craty
(smilingly) and am broken down. I did
not know It myself."
"The putting up of securities Is construed
a a confession by many people, Mr. Dough
erty," was suggested.
'AH I have to say In that regard la sim
ply this: In putting up the securities I
have In Mr. Bailey's hands, It was not for
the purpose of extenuating anything, but
simply that I 'believe things will be shown
to be right and then the amount thus
doposlted is much more than anyone claims
the shortage to be. It has no reference
whatever to guilt or Innocence, and It was
farthest from my Idea In so doing that I
was tn any way putting myself or any one
etse In a compromising position. It does
mean, however, that neither the school
board or the Peoria National bank will
lose one penny."
The grand Jury Is still In session and Is
grinding out Indictments by th wholesale.
When will It end? 1 the question that I
being asked by Peorlans. The state' at
torney's office threw up a batch of about
forty yesterday and fcre hard at work t.day.
A report by th grand Jury 1 looked
for on Monday tn court circle, and then
the revelation that will follow can only be
conjectured by Peorlans.
At the state's attorney' office today tt
waa said that no Idea could be given upon
or where th Investigation would end.
'We are grinding out Indictments as fast
a th printers can print them," said State'
Attorney Scholes today. "I look for a re
port of the grand Jury about Monday."

Senator Reed Smoot, an apostle of the
Mormon church, who In conference yester
day refrained from voting to sustain the

of the church, today gave out a statement
explaining hi position. He aald:

Cowley until they have had some hearlna

Apostie smoot denned "competent au

Apostles Taylor and Cowley are reputed
to have taken plural wives since the pro
mulgation of the Woodruff manifesto and
for months past their whereabouts have not
been definitely known. All efforts to sub
poena them a witnesses in th Smoot
hearing at Washington failed. At that
time it wa reported that one of them wa
In Mexico and th other In Canada, but
recently both were reported to be in Utah.
In the hearing at Washington before the
senate committee on elections and priv-
eleges Senator Smoot declared that he
would not vote to sustain them In the
general conference of the church. Senator
Smoot did not attend tha conference tn
April last. Yesterday he refrained from

PRESIDENT M'CALL ASKED TO RESIGN
Superintendent of Inenranco De
mands Change In Mannn-enient
a Soon as It Can Do
Effected.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 7.-State
Insurance Superintendent W. D. Vandlver
today sent a communication to President
John A. McCall of th New York Life In
surance company demanding that the $148.
702.60 campaign fund contribution bo re
placed In the treasury of the company,
under penalty of cancellation of the com
pany's license to transact business In
Missouri for failure to comply with the
demand.
In the communication Superintendent
Vandlver also Informs President McCall
that the Missouri department of insur
ance will insist on a new president, vice
president and financial committee for the
New York Lit Insurance company just
as aoon aa the director can possibly effect
tne reorganization.
TexOot the Letter,
Th letter tn full follow:
To Mr. J. A. McCall, President New York
Life Insurance Company The recant start
ling disclosures In regard to the manage
ment of the New York Life Insurance
Company, and particularly the testimony
of yourself and other officers of liio com
pany, given before the investigating com
mittee of the New York legislature, make
it my duty aa superintendent of inB'itance
for the state of Missouri to communicate
to your company the views and require
ments of this department, to the end that
the polloy holders In this state muy not
be defrauded of any portion of ihe divi
dends or surplus earnings that are justly
due them on the premium that they have
paid. . . I
The public has been very properly taught
by yourself and other officials of great in
surance companies that the funds of a
mutual company constitute a fiduciary
trust, held and administered for th sole
use of those named as beneficiaries, many
of whom are or will be widows and
orphans; and many thousands of people
have taken Insurance In your company be
cause of thl fact and the assurance that
every dollar of astrts belongs to the pol
icy holders. That any portion of th policy
holders' premiums, or profits on premiums,
could be diverted to political purposes or
other uses not contemplated when the pre
miums were paid in, and not consistent
with the avowed purpose of a life Insurance
organisation must be considered hv all
right-thinking people as a gross violation
of a sacred trust, if not" embezzlement as
defined by the statute.
This department holds, therefore, that
sll moneys taken by your order from the
treasury of the New York Life Insurance
Company and donated to any political cam.
palgn committee or to any legislative agent
or lobbyist for aiding or defeating legisla
tion, whether audited or unaudited on the
books of the company, were taken without
warrant of law or morals and proper ap
preciation of your responsibilities as trus
tees of the funds committed to your keep
ing, and therefore this department must
Insist that all funds so used by you and
your order, and particularly the sum of
$144,702,60, which amount you confessed to
ha'ing contributed out of the funds to the
republican national campaign committees
for the years im. 1 and 9o4, must be
replaced In th treasury of th Bald New
York Llfa Inurnc Company within th
next thirty day.
Notice Is hereby served upon the New
York Life Insurance company, through
you as It president, that unless this re
quirement la met, or assurance is given
that It will be met without unnecessary
delay. I a superintendent of Insurance for
the state of Missouri will proceed under
the provisions of section 1.073 revised
statutes of Missouri, to cancel or revoke
the llcene of the company to do business
U this stat.
There are many other transactions dis
closed by the InvestlKStlon now in progress,
particularly tha payments of large sums to
one Judge Hamilton, without any account.
Ing or auditing on the books of the com
pany and the occupancy of costly real
estate of the enmpany by members of your
Arm at a rental so low as to be prac
tically a gift of the property; and. also th
protection of a subsidiary cotnpfinv from
th loss of many thousand of dollars by
the use of policy holders' money, ss well
as the Immense and disproportionate ex
pense of the comnany in Its mad rush for
new business, all of which indicate the
grossest Impropriety and recklessness In
management and niav call for further In
vestigation and official aotion. But from
the facts already disclosed tt I evident
that tti interest of th !Hllcy holders of
the New York Life Insurance company, as
wsll a the public, generally, demand a
change In the management of the company.
Tbl department will, therefore, Ins'st that
a new president and Vice preHldnt and
finance committee be put In charge of the
affairs of the company as soon as Its hoard
of directors may be able to effect th
chance. Very repe'tf ullv,

RAMSEY ASKS STATE AID
Wants laspeetora Appointed to Snper
vlse Election of Wabash Board
of Directors.
TOLEDO, O , Oct. 7. The Oould-Ramsey
contest for control of the Wabash at the
annual meeting of the stockholders here
next Tuesday broke out today tn an appli
cation made to the common pleas court by
Joseph Ramsey for the appointment of In
spectors of election at next week's meeting.
The Ohio law provides for Inspectors that
the Interests of stockholders of corporations
may be guarded. In Ills application Mr.
Ramsey says the inspectors who served at
last year's meeting and who were to serve
next Tuesday are not qualified by either
education or experience to serve as Inspec
tors and pass upon the eligibility of direc
tors. These men are Fred Reynolds,
nephew of Colonel Reynolds, director of
th Wabash; A. W. Colton of the Wabnsh
Steamship line, and C. W. Newton, local
agent.
In his application Mr. Ramsey charge
that certain stockholder Intend to vote
fraudulently. Illegally and defective proxies
and ask that new and disinterested Inspec
tors b named Mr. Ramsey also make
affidavit that he Is still president of the
road and represents 10 per cent of the
stockholders. Mr. Ramsey contends that
the Inspectors will have to pass upon eligi
bility of directors, while counsel for the
Wabash and George J. Gould's attorney,
who are contesting the application, claim
that the Inspectors have purely ministerial
and not judicial powers. The court will ap
point the Inspectors If Mr. Ramsey can
prove ho represents 10 per cent of the stock
holders, and he has until Monday to furnish
such proof.
The rumor that the Wabash annual
meeting scheduled for Toledo next Tues
day Is to be postponed cannot be confirmed
here. In fact the local counsel of the
company deny the rumors.
