On December 19 Judges McCarrell and

ceiver for the Union Casualty Company by
the Tauphln County Court, while Samuel

Federal Court in Philadelphia The Dau
phin County Court held that the Federal
Courts had no Jurisdiction Both the Pen
sion Mutual and the Union Casualty were
controlled by the Consolidated Irnestmcnt
Compan. of which Lyndon D Wood was
the dominating power
Wood, once a humble Insurance solicitor,
dreamed of hlmf-elf as the head of a giant
company In which -were to be consolidated
seventy-eight Insurance companies In 1914
he launched his spectacular campaign by
reorganizing the Pension Mutual which
had as the bulk of his po IcyholrW Phila
delphia letter carriers and postofllce clerks
as well as mnnv policemen "The company
It was said was made the football of 'high
finance."
TLANNKD BIG THINGS
Back of the troubles of the company was
a scheme by which It wa expected through
the possession of the assets of the Pension
Mutual and the gullibility of a too-credulous
public assisted bv pnl'tlcal schemers,
to lay hold of the treasuries of some Hixty
or eighty other life Insurance companies.
The company was Incorporated In 186u,
and little was k-own of It until Uh reor
ganization In 1912 by Wood, who was then
president and well-known In New York.

A year previously the company had been
under suspicion. Chief Insurance Exam
iner William J Hooney having made an
examination. His report Indicated that the
department suspected that the bonds which
the company held did not belong to the
company
Wood, said Commissioner O'Nell later,
paid himself 19600 a year salary from
the Pension Mutual and $7500 from the
Union Casualt "Certainly no one would
accuse Wood of being a piker. ' said Com
tnlsloner O'Nell.
The, probe which was asked by the In
surance Department In 1914 was stopped
tiy John C. Bell, then Attorney General
Commissioner O'Nell later alleged that At
torney General Bell receUed 87500 yearly
as a retainer from the Union Casualty
Company. Mr Bell retorted that ho was
retained by the company only after his
term as Attorney General had expired. He
had received about 85000, he said, not
7500, for professional services, and con
sidered the money well earned
The Pension Mutual scandal brought to
light the relations between" that company
and. the Police Beneficial Association of
Philadelphia, whereby Seth H Whlteley.
"the mysterious phllanthrop'st," an In
surance broker, paid the premiums on the
lives of 4200 policemen In this city, giving
the Police Beneficial Association 8100 for
each pol'ceman who died and finally col
lecting the death claims himself. He re
ceived nearly 872,000 In commissions
through the group Insurance plan. Wood
charged Whiteley, John J. McCay and
Hiram Horter, Jr.. secretary and treasurer
of the Police Beneficial Association, with
a conspiracy to defraud the Pension Mutual.
In January of this year Commissioner
O'Nell Issued a statement asserting that
the Pension Mutual and the three fraternal
societies closely allied with It the Pen
sion Life Society, the Order of Unity and
the American Life and Annuity Company
were insolvent to the extent of nearly
81.800,000 the three fraternal organiza

(sin sldvertiscmcnt by Charles E. Carpenter)
IT was my privilege to attend a meeting of Philadelphia manufactur
ers and merchants, with the object of devising ways and means of
featuring to the country at large the advantages of Philadelphia as a
trade center.
Of the manufacturers present several were purchasing their lubricat
ing oils, greases, leather belting and leather packings from various
distant points, and when the matter was afterwards called to their atten
tion they seemed to have no knowledge of the following facts:
"Pennsylvania Lubricating Oil" is a synonym for best quality the world over
Philadelphia is the largest leather manufacturing center in the world, and "Phila
delphia made leather belt and packings"means the best quality possible, every
where. Philadelphia possesses remarkable economic advantages in the manufacture of
these products, not only in obtaining the raw material, but in possession of highly
skilled, experienced craftsmen, necessary to the production of the best finished
products.
That it was about as reasonable to expect economical advantages in purchasing such products from a
distance as it would be to purchase coal advantageously from New England or Chicago.
Verily, they were "carrying coals to Newcastle" and did not realize it.
They did not know Philadelphia.

AGGRESSIVE SPIRIT

The Instilling of a vigorous offensive
spirit In every American soldier In Franco
will bo the kcynoto of tho Instruction nnd
training In every nrmy nnd corps school
this winter. Every phaso of training will
accentuate this until, when tho times comes
to enter tho trenches, tho men will bo fired

phrase, "Kan tho Kaiser."
The British Instruction In bayoneting In
the divisional school already fits In well
with this program British tactics aro
based upon tho prlnclplo of "Forwnrd I For

Tho ofllcers are confident that continued
emphasis upon aggressiveness In training
will deelop tho men Into a magnificent
army possessed of the samo supreme con
fidence that made tho Roman legions In
lnclblo In battlo.
It pointed out In the schools that,
despite the important changes In modern
warfare the rllle nnd bayonet nro still
the principal weapons of the Infantrymen.
Training In marksmanship nnd bayoneting
consequently nro highly Important.
The Amciloan nrmy Is one whefein ofll
cers are trained to lead men Into action In
tho most energetic fashion, this gl Ing the
rank and file examples of nggrcsslveness.
One of the objects of tho schools Is to de
velop sound nnd vigorous leadership Main
taining discipline of tho highest order nnd
