(TOO throughout tho State. There are

Wood, who Is known to almost every
banker In Pittsburgh, where he made his
appearance several -yearn ago, Is tho or
ganiser of the Consolidated .Investment
Company, with offices in the Finance Build
ing. In this city, -
This concern. It was learned today, was
created for the purpose of acquiring the
assets and Insurance In force of these dif
ferent companies, either by direct purchase
or through ths exchange of Its securities.
Of the seventy-eight life Insurance com
panies which Wood had hoped to Include
In his merger, the only one In Philadelphia
was the Home Life Insurance Company
of America.
Basil 8. Walsh, president of ths Home
Life Insurance Company of America, to
day made the following atatement relating
to Woods's efforts to consolidate that com
pany with the Pension Mutual Life through
the agency of the Consolidated Investment
Company:
We have no connection whatever with
cither of these companies and, fur
ther, It was never contemplated by any
body In authority so far as this com
pany was concerned, either directly or
Indirectly to have anything to do with
Mr. Wood, of the Penalon Life In
surance Company, or the Consolidated
Investment Company,
We were, however, Indirectly informed
that certain adverse Interests to the
best Interests of thlsr company wsre
attempting to manipulate things In such
a way as to bring about an undeslrabls
association.
The officers and board of directors ot
this company, however, were familiar
with the attempt and promptly check
mated any movement looking toward
this end, which, of course, would be
against the best Interests of this com
pany and Its policy holders ! and the
officers and directors of this company
felt ft their duty to In every way safe
guard this company and would have
nothing to do with such combination.
This policy will be strictly maintained.
In order to effect sales of the stock of ths
Consolidated Investment Company or to
Induce the stockholders In ths seventy-eight
companies to exchange their stock for Con
solidated Investment stock, ths prospectus
Issued by that company contained some
wild dreams of high finance.
One of these was a promise of a dividend
ot forty-seven per cent on ths outstanding
stock ef the company a, plan which was
worked out on a basis of a profit of J J per
11000 on the combined Insurance In force
of alt ths companies,
The ambition and abas of Wood are de
scribed In a 'prospectus which has been
mailed broadcast to prospective Investors,
bankers and heirs to setatea.
In this prospectus Wood states that as
the various life Insurance companies are
acquired by the Consolidated Investment
Compear, their laeuranes la ferec, to
gether with sueti portion of their assets an
WW equal the legal reserve required by
law wHh which to mature thecc outstanding
policies, will be at ensc transferred to the
receptacle Hfe Insurance company eeatrolled
by H.
"1'he remaining assets wU bs liquidated
by the Investment Company," the pros-
eaes, "wm rw return to the
f the vettou .eemsanlee the
a mounts new represented by the particular
value e tfcser capital stock investment."

aawselldsts have site following I '

has had the effect of stimulating unprece
dented Interest In the national election In
Philadelphia For the first time both women
nnd children have a real, live Interest In
tho presidential contest In this city This
la because they are going to get the
"straight dope" right at their bomea.
In Tacony the whistles ot Henry IHmton's
saw work will start the sound waves, nnd
In West Philadelphia the sirens ot the Brill
Car Works will loudly acclaim tho next
President of the United States. Fourteen
other big factory whistles will add to ths
tumult and whistle the news to every nook
and corner of Billy Penn's town.
WATCH THE WINKB
And while the whlstlca are tooting the
tidings, the arcllgbts offtho city will be
winking the news
Chief "McLaughlin, enterprising hesd of
the Electrical Bureau and vice admiral of
the EvENiNn I.EDOBn's winking system, an
nounced today that plana were nil com
pleted to wink the election news.
"The offlclnl winkers." he aald. "will be
on the Job tonight, and they will slay on
the job until eery arcllght In the city
has done Its llttlo wlnka properly. Of
courso there la no way to punish any ot
the little arc boys If they are delinquent,
but they are pretty obedient little chaps,
and we are certain that they will do their
work well.
"I will be on hand at the Electrical Bu
reau, and the minute I get the. straight dope
from the Evenino Lr.Don I will flash It
to the main power plant of the Philadelphia
Electrlo Company, at Twentieth and John
son streota. The chief engineer there will
communicate the news to the four other
power plants of the company. Then en
gineers will start the light winking. I see
no reason why tho wlnklus should not go
off without a hitch. The outcome of the
winking plan Is being watched by lighting
experts In every large city In the United
Staten. nnd If It goes off well, It will open
some brand-new possibilities In lighting."
TO FLASH THE NEWS
Twenty-five official winkers and whistlers
will go on duty In the Evenino LEDann edi
torial rooms at 6 o'clock tonlghL For three
days these fellows have been subjected to
some strenuous training In the matter of
speed. Jt nlll be their .duty to get the news
out quickly to Chief Mclaughlin, and to the
various manufacturing plants when the
election, decision is known They wilt use
both the Bell nnd Keystone telephone sys
tems Id get out the "dope."
All of the manufacturers In the Evenino
LiDOEn whistling brigade will hare special
men stationed at tholr office telephones so
the minute the news come In It can be
flashed to the man stationed near the
whistle cord. There promises to be an ex
citing race among the manufacturers to see
who gets first to the whistle. The manu
facturers feel that they hnve an oppor
tunity to show enterprise and they are
going to see to It that tbey don't come In
on he tall end of the race when it comes
to whistling.

have been 'taken over" by the Pension
Mutual Life Insurance Company, It became
known today. This waa accomplished
through the Consolidated Investment Com
pany. Tho companies taken over nre the Ameri
can Assurance Company, against which
charges of gross Irregularities were made
by some of Its policy holders some years
ago, nnd the Union Casualty Company, of
this city, and of which Wood was the
president
Since the Union Casualty Company was
merged with the Consolidated Investment
Company, a suit In equity has been Insti
tuted against Wood and its directors.
The plaintiffs in this suit, which Is pend
ing now In the Court of Common Pleas No.
4, are P. J. Heerey. John T. Byrnes, nnd tho
George W. Dellaven Company, all of whom
represent former atockholders. They aoek
to enjoin Wood and his associates from
"dissipating" tho assets of the Union Cas
ualty Company.
Former officeholders who held hfgh sal
aried berths under the administration of
former Governor Tener, It was reported to
day, may figure In the present Investigation.
Some of the directors who resigned from
Insurance companies now , under proba a
few years ago are prominent politically as
well as socially In Allegheny County.
Insurance Coramlsajoner J, Denny O'Neill
has announced that he didn't care whom
the Investigation would hit, no matter how
prominent that Individual may bo.
DISCLOSURES PltOMISED
He Intimated that sensational disclosures
may becoroo public before the Investigation
Is ended. Criminal prosecutions will also
take place, according to Commissioner
O'Neill, should It be found that certain per
sons violated the law with criminal Intent
The arrest of a man who la closely Identi
fied with the company on the charge of per
jury. It was reported today, may be made.
"Only death will keep me from going
through with this Investigation," said Com
missioner O'Neill, who la In McKeespnrt,
Pa., today. "I am determined that the
Insurance laws of this State must be obeyed.
I don't care whom this Investigation will
hit, no matter how prominent the person
may be socially or politically,"
One of the features of the Pension
Mutual Llfs Insurance Company which are
now under Investigation Is that the com
pany claimed In Its report to the Insurance
Department in 1814 the ownership of cer
tain bonds which they In reality. It Is said,
did not own at the time of making the
report
This was subsequently proved through
a suit In ths Pittsburgh courts to compel
the return ot the bonds to tho brokers
from whom they were obtained.
Although the Insurance Department ac
cording to documents on file In Harrisburg,
It Is believed was suspicious of the bona
fide ownership of these bonds It permitted
Wood snd his associates to gain control ot
the Union Casualty Company, whose assets
contained almost 1200,000 of ths highest
class ot gilt edge bonds.
The Investigation which It Is understood
wtll follow the taking- over of the Union
Casualty Company by Wood and his fol
lowers, It waa reported In Insurance circles
today, will result In one of the worst
Insurance scandals In this section of ths
country.

WORRYING POLITICIANS
Continued from Pace One
city. State nnd national campaigns that for
bitterness have never been equaled, veterans
say.
Tho women's voto han been he main
bono of contention. Political managers
have, In a general way, counseled women
rotors to follow the men voters. But they
very frankly admit they don't know whether
they havo succeeded or not
Charges that women were being- misled
by scheming hangers-on Into voting oppo
site to their convictions appeared early.
In several wards. It was reported to tho
police, women had asked how lo mark their
ballots for either Democratic or Republican
candidates and had been misinformed,
,, ItUSH.pOMES EARLY
As reports oontlnued to sift In to tho

It became Increasingly evident that the
early balloting would break all records
for both men and Women. The greatest
rush of women came between 7 and 10
o'clock.
But neyer again can It be laid on the
doorstep of femininity that It Is Indifferent
tp the slings and arrows of political for
tunes, Illinois Women demonstrated by
going to the polls many of them without
their breakfasts and the usual morning
coiffure that they nre In this political game
from bell to bell. They had the vote and
they voted..
Reports from other States where women
were voting Indicated generally the same

The Power of
Invested Money
is the incentive that has
made many a man and woman
economize, and even forego
some of the so-called necessi
ties of life, jn order that they
may possess sound bonds in
either large or small amounts.
For those who wish' to elim
inate the element of specu
lation from their invest
ments, we would suggest
placing their money in any,
one pf a strong list of conser
vative securities we have
chosen with this specific pur
pose in mind.
