Mr. Abbott, discussing the situation, said:
"Mr. Martin waa told of the meeting

PENSION MUTUAL MIX-UP
Cendnaee' frtm rare One
receiver when eome question arose as to
their license.
At that particular time when Johnson
and hla examiners were finding fault with
the Pension Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany on Ita board of directorship were two
Of Pittsburgh's best-konwn residents, both
of whom are millionaires, recognised as sup
porters of Senator Penrose and who also
supported Tener for the governorship.
Ons of lhm men Is Andrew W. Berger,
Pittsburgh millionaire, philanthropist, mem
ber of th Duqutsne Club, and the other Is
Colonel E. V. Babcock, millionaire lumber
merchant, member of the Babcock Land
and Lumber Company and ho hss been
mentioned In Allegheny County aa Repub
lican candidate for Governor to succeed
Governor Brumbaugh. Colonel Babcock
and Mr, Berger are staunch supporters of
Senator Trnrose.
Colonel Babcock and Mr. Berger resigned
from the board of directors of the Tension
Mutual Life Insurance Company, and In
structed Lyndon D. Wood, president of the
company and referred to as the "Insurance
wUard of America," not to use their names
on any of the company's stntlonery, after
satisfying themselves that the concern was
only a "one man's company," aa they ex
pressed IL
It was while Johnson waa head of the
Insurance department that Wood, onco a
humble Insurance solicitor nnd who pos
sesses a magnetic flow of speech. Instituted
his spectacular campaign of selling stock
In the Company under an underwriters'
schedule. This was done In order to rnlse
funds for the company and also to make up
for some Insufficient surplus which It Is al
leged prevailed In the company's treasury
at that particular time.
STOCK-SELLINQ CAMPAIGN
The stock-selling campaign Is well re
membered here. Though four years hnve
elapsed slnco the stock In tho company wai
sold, sometimes for cash, but more fre
quently by obtaining a promissory note from
the Investor, Wood and his agents are still
being discussed here when members gather
In the grillroom of the Pittsburgh Athletic
Club or at some of th other fashionable
clubs of this city. The notes received for
stock were subsequently turned over to a
New York banker, for which Wood re
ceived something like J900.000 worth of
high-class utility bonds. But these bonds
didn't remain very long In the possession
of Wood. For records In the United States
District Court show that the bonds were
returned to th New Tork banker soon
after a suit was Instituted hy the banker.
This occurred In the early part of January,
1915.
The banker's contention was that many
of the signers refused to make payments
on the notes when collections becamo due.
Some of the signers of the notes made
statments at that time that they wore as.
sured by Wood's agents that they wouldn't
be compelled to pay up on the notes If thoy
.didn't want to do so. These notes were for
stock In, Wood's company, and later were
exchanged for the utility bonds, which
Wood returned without letting the banker's
suit come to trial.
Some of the subscribers to slock In
Wood's company via the promissory note
route waa a person named "Takakl." who
several years ago Is said to hava lleen
attached to the Japanese Embassy In Wash
ington. He subscribed to $10,000 worth of
stock. This Is proved through records on
file In the Prothonatory'B office of this city.
In a suit filed In the Court of Common
Pleas No. Z, of this city, Conrad Holmes
seeks to recover a commission for obtain
ing Takakl'a subscription. Two other per
sons from whom Holmes obtained sub
scriptions for (10,000 each were Dr. Wil
liam. A. La Ross, of McDonald, Pa., on
July 1, 1914, and Mrs. W. J. Coulson. of
Washington, Pa., on July IE, 1914. Both
of these suits haven't come up fof trial.
They are likely to be placed on the De
cember calendar. The Pension Mutual Life
Insurance Company Is named as defendant
in these suits.
nolders of policies In the Pension Mutual
Life Insurance Company Include many em
ployes worklng'ln the following plants;
Pittsburgh 8tMl Company, Gleeipart, r.
Htandard Steel Works Company, 11 u tier,

Acting on instructions from Insurance
Commissioner O'Neill, the company has
ceased doing business. Now and then some
person walks Into the little barber shop un
derneath the Insurance office and asks:
"Will I lose my money?"
The person making Inquiries Is sent up
stairs. The last seen of the person Is
walking up the stairs with a policy In his
hand, and later walking Into the office
of the company, where assurances are given
to the visitor that everything Is O. K.
Sometimes callers walk out of the building
feeling confident sometimes they come out
looking sad.

8TATRMI2NT Br W1LLCOX
Chairman Wlllcox, of the Republican Na
tlonal Committee, at 12 28, Issued the fol
lowing statement: '
The result still depends upon the
vote of a few close States. It must be
home In mind that th returns thus
far announced are In most States un
official and may be changed by the
omelal count required by the lawa of
thoso States.
Twice during the unomclal computa
tion yesterday In California mistakes
In addition were announced from that
Stat, substantially changing figures
previously given. It Is common experi
ence that the result of the olllclal
count almost always varies from the
return first announced.
Where the vote Is ns close as that
reported In several States It may well
be that material changes will result
from the ofllclal count We owe It to
the country to take all necessary steps
to see that an exact and honest count
of the vote Is made.
When tho current seemed to bo run
ning against Mr. Wilson on Wednesday
the Democratic managers announced
their Intention to demand n recount In
every cloce State.
All w desire Is to make sure thst
the vote bn counted as cast
SPLIT VOTB POSSIBILITY
Meanwhlte, the leaders of th two parties
were making desperate efforts today to find
out whether tho electoral -ote of any of
the States had been split Tho Republican
leaders In California said th vote of that
Stato had been divided and that they hsil
an excellent chance to get at least three
of tho electors. On tho other hand, the
Democrats nsserted that the percentage of
cutting on the lower men of the Republican
list hnd been big and that all of their In
formation howed that every elector on
their ticket had pulled through.
In Washington the Democrats admitted
chances were that they would lose one
elector because of the failure of the elec
tion officials In several counties to sub
stitute a name for that of Strom, the
elector who died lust before election day
But they said this wan offset by their
getting one elector In West Virginia, where
Dawson, Republican elector, resigned and
tho name of his successor, Scott, was not
put on the ballot In several of the coun
ties. Tho national committees of both organ
izations have wired their representatives
In all of the States where the result Is In
any way close to watch the entire canvass
of tho ballots In the various State secre
taries' ofllces to Rce whether there has been
any falling off of any of the votes enst for
Individual electors.
MINNESOTA CLAIMS
Both parties today were claiming Min
nesota, which remained In doubt It will be
Impossible definitely to place this until the
soldier vote Is canvassed Tuesday, On the
latest nvllable figures Hughes has a lead of
lesH than 700 and the Democrats uny this
will bo offset by the soldier vote.
Should Wilson flnnlly carry Minnesota It
Is stated that the Republican leadern will
drop all plans for an extended contest It
would give him nn Insurmountable advan
tage, the Republican leaders here nay.

Casper Trace, or "Pop," as ho waa more
familiarly known, oldest policeman In point
of service In the center of the city, who
was the original 'Tenderloin Cop," died to
day In the Hahnemnnn Hospital. He was
73 years old.
Blood poisoning, which developed from
th cutting of a corn several weeks ago, Is
said to have caused his death.
"Pop" denned tho helmet on January
1, 1872, aa one of tho thirty-nine policemen
Mayor Stokley appointed the day he ns
sumed his position ns head of the munici
pality. During his forty-four years of
active service. Trace seldom missed a roll
call. He prided himself" on the fact that
he never missed a day through Illness.
"Pop" had been n mild-mannered man
for the last ten years, but In his prime
there were few of even the hardest char
acters In the Tenderloin who cared to "mix
It up" with the welterweight Cop with the
beady black eyes.
Trace loved his follow men, but the law
wan his word. Ho served continuously In
the Tenth and Buttonwood streeta station,
except for a short period In 1910.
He lived nt 311 North Twelfth street
