POLITICIANS' FEUD

INSURANCE PROBE
Pension Mutual Company
Mix-up Likely to Air
Old Scandali
WORKERS' MONEY TIED UP
Bv a Staff Corrtspontent .
PITTSDUItOH. Pa., Nov. 10. Interesting
details of tha bitter political feud existing
between the Brumbaugh-Smlth-Vare faction
and the Penrose wing of the Republican or
ganization of Pennsylvania may become
publlo In the present Investigation of tho
Pension Mutual Life Insurance Company
of this city.
Impartial observers of the many tribula
tions of the Pension Mutual Life Insurance
Company say that the application for a re
celver for tho, company, whose total deficits
amount to $1,098,423.60, merely means that
the first round has been, fought. They re
fer to the political atmosphere that sur
rounded the Tnuch-tangled affairs of the
company, whose main offices are over a
small poolroom and barber shop.
, .Affidavits and, certain letters, which,- If,
made-publlo, would make Interesting read
Ing, and which deal with so-called political
schemers, exist. Some of the persons men
tioned In these documents once were de
tailed In the Insurance Department. Others
who aro mentioned are former State office
holders. ,
Of course, these documents may never
be taken from a certain desk In a certain
office for the purpose of making them pub
lic But these letters and affidavits are
considered by some persons who were di
rectly responsible to the stockholders and
policyholders of the company as being one
of their Instruments through which they
hope to prove that faotlonal political rows
extending between, Philadelphia and liar
rlsburg at certain periods figure In the
present probav
Though there la conclusive proof In ex
istence that the Pension Mutual Life In
surance Company erred In obeying the In
surance laws of Pennsylvania as far back
as 1318, when the Insurance Department
was In charge of Charles Johnson, of Phila
delphia, this Is the first time that real dras
tic action has been taken against the com
pany. Johnson was nppolnted by ex
Governor Tener. He had the Indorsement
of United States Senator Penrose.
During the regime of Johnson as head
of the Insurance Department It la a matter
of record that frequently he found occasion
to point out to officials of the Pension
Mutual Life Insurance Company that they
weren't living up to the law. Once the

The Publjp Sen Ice Commission was noti
fied today on behalf of the United Business
Men's Association and the Cummutcra' As
sociation that the Pennsyhsnla llallroad's
proposition In the commutation faro ques
tion was rejected.
Further, tho commission was Informed
that rejection of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway's proposal by ndward B.
Martin, on behalf of the United Business
Men's Association, was without authority.
At the same time that this action was
being taken at a meeting of the commuters'
lawyers In tho ofllco of Udwln M. Abbott
today, Mr. Martin was sending another let
ter to the commlesloners, In which he set
forth that Mr. Abbott no longer represented
the United Business Men's Association.
The broach between the attorneys Is
widened In consequence of these two com
munications. ABBOTT LETTEIt
The letter sent to the commissioners over
the signatures of William T. Cooper, Mat
thew Randall, Raymond ntcalrn. Randolph
TV. Chllds and Edwin M. Abbott follows:
"In the matter of the controversy between
the United Business Men's Association and
Commuters' Association versus Pennsylva
nia Railroad ot at, wo would state that wo
havo this day declined to accept the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's proposition
as submitted, owing to the fact that they
have Included In their proposal a minimum
charge ot JC for a fifty-trip ticket for all
stations within approximately the seven
mile rone. The stations for which they
have charged tho minimum fare are set
forth In their schedule.
"Under former rnllngs of your commis
sion a maximum of one and one-halt cents
per mile was ordered. This maximum, we
take it, cannot be exceeded for any dis
tance beyond the xone In which the mini
mum rato has been proposed. We are wilt
ing to agree that those schedules shall be
accepted on behalf ot our clients.
"We are noi.'satlsfied with tho settlement
.with regard, to 'pur-proposal for the- es
tablishment of 44-trlp tickets.' but we would
state that wo have acceded to your ad
vice to all of the parties at Interest to
adjust their differences If It were possible,
and we feel that as this litigation has been
prolonged for a period of nearly two years
and as the railroads have' made substantial
concessions to their patrons, we are Justified
In asking your body to Issue an order con
firming the schedules as filed by the Penn
sylvania Railroad beyond tho territorial
limit of seven miles, within which zone tha
Pennsylvania Railroad has proposed a mini
mum rate, and refuse to confirm the mini
mum rato within that territory.
FOR CENT AND HALF
"We respectfully ask the commission to
Insist upon the orders heretofore Issued
by you and that within a seven-mile zone
the maximum of one and one-half cents
per mile be enforced.
"Wa are Informed that Edward B. Mar

counsel for the complainant, has notified
your commission that the adjustment
agreed upon yesterday with the Philadel
phia and Reading Railway Company
would not be acquiesced In by him.
"Wa desire to call the Commission's at

that the United Business Men's Associa

Tho re-election of Woodrow Wilson to
the presidency, on the fnco of returns
available late this afternoon, was made
certain by 272 votes in the electoral
college.
Charles E. Hughes has 243 votes.
Minnesota nnd New Hampshire re
main in tho uoubuui column with a
total of 1G votes.
Republicans arc claiming Minnesota
for -Hughes by 1000, with tho voto of
tho State's troops at tho border not
taken into consideration. '
Olllcinl returns so far received give
New Hampshire to Wilson by 239. Un
official returns from missing towns put S
the State back in the Ilighcs column f
by 7i.
California's cntiro vote has not been
counted. Wilson's lead is so command
ing that it appears- no matter what tha ,
result in tho few remaining precincts r
he will have n clear plurality over
Hughes. There remained, however, the
possibility of n division of the State's a
electoral vote of thirteen.
The count hns not been completed la

'of a few close States. We owo it to

to see that an exact and honest count '
of the vote is mnde. All we desire is
to make sure that tho vote be counted

The same incomplete returns which
apparently showed election of the Na-
tional Democratic ticket also indicated
today that President Wilson will hava
a safe majority in tho Senate, but an
exceedingly close -one in the House.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. Complete
returns from S838 out of E866 precincts
in California at 9:20 today g.io Wilson
406,752. Hughes 462,859, a lead for Wilson
of 3893.
The reduction jn the total vote for WII
son was caused by a correction made by
County Clerk Kay, of Humboldt County, '
which showed Wilson had previously been
erroneously credited with 1000 votes. In,
Heildlng, returns from 78 precincts, Kay
gae theso figures: Hughes B670; WH-- ,
son, 5014. He declared today that Wilson's
total should hna been 4014. Two addl- "
tional precincts Jn Jlumbpldt County t-
brought Wilson's total to 4049 and Hughes' . j - ""
lo XtlZZ,
An nddltlpnnl precinct from San Bernar
dino County gae Wilson 415 arid Hughes
152.
This leaves only 28 precincts In Cali
fornia to be heard from. The revision ot
the Humboldt County vote will not change
the result In California.
In an extra edition this morning the San
Frjuiclsco Chronicle, one of the staunch
Hughes supporters In the West, conceded
California to' Wilson y a plurality -of about
3006 and declared the President had bau
re-elected. Chester Howell, Ilepubllcaa
Btate chairman, was not willing to concede
tho State to tho President without quati-
llcatlon. Ha admitted that California had

he would not abandon hope until tha om&lal
