CommlMloner J. Denny O'Nell today re
ceived advices from Indiana that the llconso
of the- l'enalon Mutual Llfo Inaurnnco uom
Jpany to do bualnM lr that State was re
voked nt the end of loot year and not re

Inasmuch M Indiana was tho only Stnto
aside from Pennsylvania where the com
jiMiy mi licensed, that left thin Stata an
tho only ono whtro the company was nl-
toned to transact business, nlthoimh It In
reported tho revocation of Ho license In
Indiana did not make It desist.
Tho 1'cnslon Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany la tho one dominated by Lyndon I.
"Wood, generally referred to ns tho "In
surnnco wizard," on account of his schema
of co-ordinating and eventually consolidat
ing seventy-flight Insurance companies to
do business, under the name of Consolidated
Investment Company, which lias olllces In
the Fitu.nce Building, I'hllAdelphln.
' Tho filllowlnir loiter dated Nov, 13, 1916.
from Dtle J, Crlttcnberxer, Auditor of the
fltato of Indiana, reached Commissioner
j O'Nell yesterday.
"On examination of report of A, a. Cns
tello and VT, J. Honey, relnting to tho I'm
i Blon Mutual Llfo- Insurance the report be
ing; dated Nov. 2, 11)16, and showing tho
condition of tho company .Sept. 30, 13 IS, I
find that It states:
, "The only other State In which tho com
, pany Is authorized to transact business
' t besides Pennsylvania In tho Htato of In-
'a tjlana. I beg to Inform you that this de
j partment revoked tho license Dec. 20, IMG,
f and same was not renewed for year 1918,"
Omclats of tho Pension Mutual Llfo In
surnnco Company nre censured In tho fol
lowing words. In iv letter which renchtd
, Insuranco Commissioner O'Nell today from
VT. C. Bhepherd, iiresldent nnd treasurer of
the Shepherd Construction Company, of
TVIlkes-Itarro, Pa.
"I think Homo olio Bhoutd hold this com
pany liable to tho limit of tho law for a
thing of this sort. What some poor devil's
widow will do, I don't know, whoso hus
band, died with tho feellnfr that thin wlfo
should be taken care of."
Officials connected with The Insurance De
partment say that thero nre millions of dol
lars invested In life Insuranco In Pennsyl
vania over which thero Is llttlo or no legal
restraint at least so far ao tho Common
wealth Is concerned. They recall that every
time effort has been made In tho Leglsla-
, ture to enact moro drastlo legislation tho
attempt has failed because of tho opposi
tion of ths ofllclala of some of tho very
organlnztlons It was designed to safeguard,
.. and, strange ns It may seem, hundreds of
the policyholders themschca wero led by
those at tho heads of llfo Innurnnco compa
nies to believe Hint tho bills In question
wero fathered by big Insurance concerns
bent on putting tho llttlo follows, tho fra-
I ternal and the mutuals, out of business to
their own profit. It Is expected that this
.f.samo opposition will develop noxt session
and to meet It the department will lay be-
,Tforo tho public such a report no, It Is be-
,t lleved, will lead to moro definite notion this
s V. time.
Just what action will bo taken In the
affairs of the Consolidated Investment Com.
pany depends upon tho results of Commis
sioner O'Nell's conference with Attorney
General Ilrown. It Is strongly suspected
that tho outcome will be n series of criminal
prosecutions If restitutions which the Htato
may demand from certain officials aro not
forthcoming, but of this tho department

SELLING COAL AT LOSS,
OFFICIAL TESTIFIES

"Can't Get More," Says Sales
Company Head, Despite
High Prices
The Susquehanna Coal Company, one of
the largest coal operating und selling com
panies In Pennsylvania, lias been Botftng
coal during the nine months (C this year
.t a loss of five cents a ton, according
to A. D. Sexton, controller of the com
pany, who testified In the Mayor's ofllce
In City Hall today before tho Coal Com.
mlisloners appointed by dovornor Brum
baugh to Investigate the high price of
coal.
Mr, Sexton testified that the cost of pro
duction of anthracite coal a ton In 1910
averaged 12.91, while tho grodi price he
, cava na 12.86. When asked to explain the
loss and why tho company did not got more
than 13.86 a ton, he said:
"That la the best prlco that we can get
TVe cannot get more."
Mr. Sexton attributed tho loss In 1916
to ths high cost of labor, material, taxes
and the decrease In tonnage. Ha said that
4ft per cent or tne coal sold by the Sus
quehanna Company was sold In this State.
No dividends will be paid on capital
stock by tho company this year, he ex.
plained. Ha said that none had been paid
last year, but that 3 per cent had been
paid on capital stock In 1914 and four per
' cent In 1919.

Tho first thlnjr you must do In Pennsylvania Is to bring Immediate
aid to tho present army of addicts, nnd eliminate their craving. It is In
human to put them Into Jail! you must provido suitable insllutlons where
they can go nnd bo cured. Most of them nra not to blame for tho terrible
habit that has blactcd their lives. They should bo treated ns persons suf
fering from fever or some othor malady.
Wealthy cUlacna of Philadelphia should note the drug scourge nnd
endow wnrds for drug nddicts in all your hospitals. If a subscription is
started, I will myself gladly head tho list with a donation of $100.
Philadelphia physicians should nt onco nrrnnge for clinics dealing with
tho dopo evil. If this is done I will arrange to havo Charles P. Townc,
drug expert of Now York, addrcsR these clinics, Mr. Towno has n cure
which has been indorsed by Doctor Lnmbcrt. of tho IJcllcvuo Hospital, Now

Everybody Is Interested in tho drug scourge, for all classes In your

WOMEN CLAIM VICTO0
IN REBUKE TO WILSON
Suffrage Vote in Presidential
Election Will Convince Luke
warm Democrats, Says Miss
Alice Paul
A PRO-WOMAN CAMPAIGN
Party Satisfied With Show of Strength,
Hopo Now With
Congress
By ALICE PAUL
National Chairman nf the Conareaalonal Union
for Woman's fluffr
The National Women's pnrty hns at
tained Its object In tho campaign which has
Just closed. It made the national enfran
chisement of women one of tho most prom
Inent Issues on which tho presidential cam
paign was fought In the suffrage States It
put Iho Democrats on the defensive. It
forced them to declnro greater and greater
enthusiasm for national woman suffrage.
Tho election elided with Democrats and Ite
publlcnnn ylng with each other as to
which wan tho more demoted to the national
enfranchisement of women.
"In analyzing the election returns we find
thnt tho women responded loyally to our
appeal not to give their support to Mr. Wll
non hecnuso of his opposition to national
woman suffrage In Illinois, tho only .Htnte
where the oton of the women nre counted
separately, 67,000 moro women, according
to present leturna, oted against Mr. Wil
son than for him. Thousands pledged
themselves nt our meetings and In response
to our canvassing to withhold their support
of tho President ns long an ho opposed tho
national enfranchisement of women. Home
gave their Votes to tho .Socialists, some to
tho Prohlbltlonln and somo to tho Ilepub
llcnns. 'flicat ntimners of these womon had orig
inally Intended to glvo their votes to Mr.
Wilson becnuso he 'kept un out of wnr.'
Only tho plcu to put ouffrnge first caused
t bent to turn away from Mr. Wilson.
llI.HUKt: FOR WILSON
"Illinois was conceded to tho Democrats
rome weeks beforo election. It wns ngrecd
by tho Republicans nnd Democrats nllko
thut the gloat women's volo In tho Stnto
would go to Mr. Wilson becatiHo of his
record on peace Months of work by tho
Woman's pnrty told, however, nnd on elec
tion day It wan found that tho expected
lanilslldo to Wilson among tho women had
been averted by tho knowledge wo had
spread oxer tho Stato that ho 'kept us oul
of something'
"Tho samo results, were obtained In
othor suffrage States, according to reports
of our workers In none nf them can the
women's vote bo separated from that of tho
men, hut wo can tell fnlrly accurately how
tho women a nto went by the reports which
tho workers hao Hcnt us from each dis
trict. "These reports Indicate that the womon's
party campaign was aa successful In hold
ing the women's .oto In lino In tho other
cloven suffrago States as In Illinois. While
ten f theso Stntcs went for Wilson they
did not do no, as has been claimed, by the
women's vote. Mr. Wilson received In these
Stntos almost tho solid labor vote, the
Progressive "toto and tho fnrmern' vote.
"In each of theso States mon outnumber
tho women, In some by mora thnn two to
one. According to the last census thero
woro 221 men to 100 women In Nevada;
In Wyoming, 220 to 100 women; In Ari
zona, 109 to 100, nnd In Utnh. 121 to 100.
In Cullfomla tho men over twenty-ono out
number tno women of voting ngo by 219,011,
In Washington by 173,367, In Montana by
73,270, In Kansas by 09, DOB, In Colorado
by 58,223, In Idaho, 40,945, and In Arl
zonn by 30,100.
"In thoso States tho landsltdo of tho Pro
gressives, tho labor und farmer vote to Wil
son wan BUfllclcnt to give most of the Stale
to him by narrow marglnn despite the fact
that hosts of womon who normally would
have supported him refused to do so be
canso of his suffrage record.
PRO-WOMAN FiailT
"We wero not concernod with the result
of tho election. Ours was a campaign In
which it made o difference who was elect
ed. Wo did not Indorse any candidate. We
did not caro who won. We were not pro-
Ropubllcan, pro-Socialist, pro-Prohlultlon
wo wero simply pro-woman. Wo did not
endeavor to affect the result In tho nine
suffrage States What wo did try to do
was to organlzo n protest against Mr. Wil
son a uuuuuo loworu sunrrnge, Thla we
did. livery Democrat who campaigned In
tho West knows this. Tho Democratic cam
paign In tho West consisted almost entirely
of nn attempt to combat the Woman's party
attack.
"We now turn to tho coining session of
Congress full of hopo that the Bplcndld
protest tignltiht the continued disfranchise
ment of women which tho Western women
made at tho polls In November will bo suf
ficient to effect tho pasage of tho suffrage
nmendmont during tho coming session.
"The loss of more than a third and nearly
one-halt of tha elcctornl votes In tho suf
frage States by Mr. Wilson largely because
of his hostility to political freedom for
women, the cloaencs of tho voto In the
other suffrage States because of tho largo
protest vote rolled up In each of them
against him must mnke him realize that
Itho women of tho West are determined to
stand by the Eastern women until full en
franchisement for women throughout the
land is an accomplished fact."

was this poem from his recently published
book, "Trees und Other Poems":
HIKES
T think 7 shnll never see
A ponm lovely ns a tree.
A tree whoso hungry mouth U prest
Asnlnst the earth's swoet flowing- breast;
A trco that looks nt Clod nil day
Ami lifts her loafy nrm to rray;
A treo that may In numiner wear
A nt of roljlna In hor hair;
I'pon who-io linsom snow has liln,
Who Intimately lives with rain.
Poems aro niuilo by fools llko me,

Tho most generous contributor to tho
evening's gayety was Dr. Earl Chnllcngor
Rice, whoso wonderful recitations In many
dialects stirred tho audience to repented de
mands for encores. Tho muslo wns fur
nished by Bertrand A. Austin, 'cellist, with
Luclcn A. Austin accompanying upon tho
piano. Mr. Austin nlso nccompanled upon
tho 'cello tho recitation by Mr. Daly of his
poem, "Da lectin iioy.
At tho suggestion of "Aloyslus," seconded
by "Shon Ilea," It was decided to leave to
n committee of three or four, to be selected
later, tho cpieBtlon of forming n, permanent
organization and holding a contribs' dinner
nt stated periods.
"Tho tnbles groaned under tho weight of
nil tho dellcaples of tho season, and tho
guests ropnlred to their homes vowing that
a most delightful time wus had by all."

So Detective "Smelt" Out Pilferer of
Hunk of Roquefort
Here's a dctcctlvo who really can smell
nn alleged thief. His namo Is Edward
Farmer, of tho Thirty-ninth street nnd Lan
caster n venue stntlon. He accomplished
thn unusual feat today of walking up to
n group of street-corner loungers, and after
a sniff at their coat sleeves, picked Thomas
Nixon, 3719 Melon street, as tho man
wanted for breaking Into the store of Cha
brow Rrothers, 4100 Lancaster avenue.
The robbery occurred early this morning.
Tho thief smashed tho front window and
stole twelve pounds of Roquefort cheese.
Tho Intruder escaped after grappling with
W. B. Smith, who lives on the third floor
and heard tho commotion.
Nixon denied the theft, but said he found
the cheese. Ho Bald he would return It, nnd
led Tarmer to a nearby stable.
"Eureka!" the sleuth raid as tho door
opened, and tho cheeso was found in a
stall.
Had one of the street loungers said
"Cheese It I" when Fnrmor approached, tho
cheese might not have been recovered nnd
Nixon would not have to bo nnaignod to
morrow. BLOCK NEW CAR LINE
NOnniSTOWN, Pa.. Nov. 1C Efforts
toward tho building of a trolley lino from
Norrlstown to Phoenlxvllle have been
blocked, it Is understood, by the supervis
ors of Lower Providence township, who do
clare that the line must not cross the
township roads at grade and that It muBt
be built entirely on private property.
Material for the construction of the road
was ordered after the supervisors of Up
per Providence gavo their sanction. The
Lower Provldenco supervisors say that
there must bo overhead bridges or the rail-,
road depressed,

MILK TO STAY AT NINE
CENTS, SAYS SUPPLEE
Secretary of Tristate Commis
sion Believes Farmers and
Dealers Are Satisfied
Tho prlco of milk In Philadelphia will
not go above nlno cents n quart. A reason
able prlco to tho farmc, which also np
penrs ngrccnblo to tho dealers, has been
agreed on, nnd onn of tho chief objects of
the Trlstnto Milk Commission, appointed by
fi. vcrnor llrumbnugh to avert a possible
clash between the two factions, hns been
ticcompllshcd. This statement wan mado
today by C Henderson Stippleo, head of
tho Stippleo Aldcrney Dairy, who Is secre
tary of tho commission. Mr. Suppleo said:
"One of the chlof objects of Governor
rrumhaugh In having tho Trlstato Commis
sion formed was to avert n milk strtko
hlmllar to tho one which, took placo in New
York, to luivo tho farmers and dealers
hi ought together and arrange a price that
would bo satisfactory to both,
"The shippers to Philadelphia within a
radius of forty miles have net the price at
six cents a quart delivered in Philadelphia.
This figure has been met by tho dealers
nnd I can safely say thnt milk will not
cost more than nlno cents this winter.
"Tho dealers havo merely added the ad
vanco In prlco fixed by tho farmer on a
quart of milk. This nrrnngement seems
satisfactory.
"Tho work of tho commission. I believe.
Is largely responsible for the settlement.
It sent lovcl-hcndcd men among tho farm
ers' organizations nnd prevented exor
bitant demands on tho part of tho pro
ducers," T(IO LATK FPU CLASSIFICATION'
