Y ■ TO THE PUBLIC <
THE State oi New York, through its Department ol Insurance, has
completed the examination ol the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
which it is required by law to make every three years. The Chief
Examiner, in concluding the report, saidt
"The treatment by this Company of its policy-holders in the prompt payment of their claims,
in the voluntary payment of millions of dollars in bonuses, and in its social welfare work —are
features of the Company's business which deserve commendation."
The Superintendent of Insurance, the Hon. William Temple Emmet, in
approving the report, wrote an extended review from which we make extracts t
THE COMPANY'S GROWTH AND MANAGEMENT.
"The administrative officers of the Company * * * have so increased the assets of the
Company as to make these equal the resources of many states and even nations. They have at the
same time steadily cheapened the cost of insurance to policy-holders, both by direct
means and by the distribution of bonuses."
[The report shows that the Company has given back $35,367,293 in bonuses
to Industrial policy-holders in nineteen years.]
"They have extended the Company's business to such an extent as to bring it into contact now
With approximately one-eighth of the population of the United States."
[The number of policies outstanding December 31,1913, was 13,957,748.]
"That this notable growth has involved no sacrifice of efficiency in the handling of administrative
details, but, on the contrary, has been the direct result of constantly increasing efficiency, is shown by
the comparatively small losses sustained by the Company in proportion to the large investments made."
ITS POLICY-HOLDERS SATISFIED.
"The fact that the percentage of lapses due to the abandonment of their insurance by
policy-holders is constantly decreasing, speaks eloquently to the same effect."
[The lapse ratio of Industrial policies has decreased 31.7 per cent, in eight years.]
"This last mentioned development is perhaps the most convincing evidence which could be
offered that the Company's policy-holders are, broadly speaking, very well satisfied indeed
with what they get in return for the premiums they pay. A very remarkable showing
altogether."
ITS SOCIAL SERVICE.
"This Company waited for no changes in existing law before striking out as a pioneer
among insurance companies along the pathway of social service on a huge scale.
"For years it has maintained for its policy-holders a nursing service upon a great scale;
this has latterly become a veritable marvel of efficiency and practical helpfulness.**
[Metropolitan nurses made 1,127,022 visits to sick policy-holders in 1913,
for which the Company paid the bills.]
"Leaving out of consideration the mere numbers of those who have been directly benefited by
these activities, I think that the example which the Metropolitan has set to other
great business organizations by its early recognition of the new responsibilities attaching
to all business enterprises which have attained a certain size, is one of the most beneficial
of recent occurrences in the field of American business. For years it has through
its publications upon the question of health conservation been serving multitudes of people as a
sort of University of beneficial instruction upon this most important subject."
ABREAST OF MODERN THOUGHT.
"This great institution, having so very recently been under our critical scrutiny and presenting
so many admirable illustrations of what an efficient and enlightened modern business organization
on a large scale can do in the way of keeping abreast of modern thought, seems to be in a position
where I may properly use it as an illustration * * * that private initiative and enterprise are at
their best still capable of doing the finest possible work in fields from which, latterly, all the talk has
been that these agencies should be compelled to retire."

It is believed bv staff officers here

WEDNESDAY EVENING HAKRISBURG s£§s&s TELEGRAPH JUNE 17,1914.
issued a general denial that there had
been any split between himself ana
General Carranza. He said that the
arrest of the Carranza officials at
Juarez had been the result of a mis
interpretation of orders on the part of
Colonel Tomas Ornelas, in charge of
the Juarez garrison.
It was reported last night that Gen
eral Villa tendered his resignation to
General Carranza within the last week.
It was learned, however, that be
tween twenty and tnirty employes of
the Juarez offices were sent on a
special train early to-day to Chihuahua
City, the state capital, thence to be
transported to Torreon, where Villa
remained. These men, employes of
the customs house, telegraph office,
treasury department and information
bureau, were arrested late yesterday
by Colonel Ornelas in a raid on the
various national offices where Carranza
appointees were employed.
The whereabouts of H. Perez Abreu
was the matter of most speculation.
He had been selected by Rafael Zu
baran Capmany, Carranza's agent at
Washington, as publicity agent of the
revolution, whose functions it was to
issue official bulletins to the press.
Perez Abreu disappeared when his
offices were raided by the Villa sol
diers. He just had issued announce
ment that he was transcribing a bulle
tin regarding the Zacatecas attack, in
which the Natera forces had been de
feated, according to official advices
from Mexico City, which have been
confirmed by reports from the revo
lutionists' front below Torreon.
Constitutionalist agents here to-day
were busy attempting to find explana
tion from the south of the sudden turn
of affairs at Juarez, but the rigid cen
sorship on telegrams from Villa's
headquarters at Torreon prevented
from arriving other than messages
denying, in a general way, that the
Constitutionalist commander-in-chief
and Villa, his northern chieftain, had
reached a point of divorce on account
of the appointment of Natera as chief
of the new central zone and other inci
dents which the Villa elements have
been reported as resenting.
Partisans of Carranza and Villa at
El Paso discussed hotly the future of
the Constitutionalist movement. The
question of the Niagara Falls confer
ence played an important part in the
argument, especially as regards the
naming of a provisional president.
Some Villa supporters even declared
tl at General Felipe Angeles, secretary
of war in Carranza's cabinet, had been
selected by Villa for provisional presi
dent' In place of Carranza, as some
partisan publications had suggested.
Angeles, a former federal general, has
been commanding Villa's artillery since
the battle of Torreon and yesterday
departed for the front above Zacate
cas, according to official notice here.
Mediators Fear
Wilson May Reverse
Himself in Mexico
By Associated Sress
Niagara Falls, Ont., June 17.—0n
word from the Washington govern
ment depends the next move in media
tion. Justice Lamar and Frederick
W. Lehmann telegraphed early to-day
a 2,000-word report of, their confer
ence yesterday at Buffalo with Rafael
Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, authorized
representatives of General Carranza in
j the United States.
i A general feeling here that the Unit
ed States possibly may inaugurate a
distinct change of policy produced by
the uncompromising attitude of
Messrs. Zubaran and Cabrera, dis
patches telling of friction between
Generals Carranza ad Villa, reports of
a rupture in Sonora between Governor
Maytorena and General Obregon and
news of Constitutionalist reverses both
on land and sea.
While mediation thus far has ac
complished little, no agreement on
personnel for a new provisional gov
ernment having been reached, the
Huerta delegates showed great anxiety
to-day to have the conferences con
tinued. The serious situation in
Northern Mexico also hase stimulated
the mediators to renewed effort to
have the American government reach
some understanding with the Huerta
delegates by which at least the Inter
national difficulties could be settled.
Emillo Rabasa, head of the Huerta
delegation, said to-day that he and his
associates would do everything in their
power to prevent a break.
Villa in Supreme
Command, Washington
Diplomats Forecast
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C„ June 17.—Gen
eral Villa's action In resigning his com
mission and imprisoning Carranza
leaders is not interpreted by the Con
stitutionalist leaders here as meaning
a permanent breach between the two
chiefs.
Carranza's representatives here
made the explanation that Villa had
determined to rid himself of trouble
some politicians who have beeri asso
ciated with General Carranza, issuing
orders without authority which em
barrassed his movements. These men,
it was said, had been making trouble
between Villa and Carranza for some
time and Villa insisted to Carranza
that his authority in Northern Mexico
should be supreme. Carranza is said
to have felt that the trouble would
adjust itself, but Villa took the initia
tive.
In the opinion of the leaders here,
Villa will proceed to' take supreme
command in the North of Mexico and
Carranza will compose the difficulties.
Officials of the Washington govern
ment were considerably impressed by
the turn in events.
Rafael Zubaran and Luis' Cabrera,
the Constitutionalist representatives,
who conferred in Buffalo yesterday
with the American commissioners, re
turned to Washington to-day and
maintained strict silence as to the re
sult of their mission.
YOUNG TO APPEAL
FROM DECISION
[Continued From First I'age]
when asked what he. intended to do,
"I will likely join in the proceeding."
Mr. Young's statement regarding
his position is as follows:
"I intend appealing from the deci
sion of the Dauphin county court in
the mandamus proceedings. I have
no feeling of resentment or ill-favor
towards anybody concerned in the
controversy; I simply take the view
that an important question is in
volved; two in fact, one being the
discretionary power of the fiscal of
ficers, and the other, the question of
what is and what is not a specific ap
propriation of State funds, and I shall
bo glad to abide by the decision of the
Appellate Court.
"T also hold the view that as a
matter of good faith and in considera
tion of the public interest in the fund
in controversy, a settlement of the
question should be expedited, holding
this view I shall take my appeal as
quickly as the nature of the proceed
ings permit. This is a subject of great
public interest and although there has
been an attempt on the part of cer
tain persons and interests to convey
the idea that my action has been in
fluenced by political consideration I
shall continue to disregard these im
putations and expedite a settlement of
the question as quickly as possible,
uninfluenced by any consideration ex
cept my own view of my duties to the
people of the State. The final result
will be welcomed by me, whatever it
may be. I have no purpose (n \ lew ex
cept the settlement of the questions
involved and my only thought from
the beginning has been to have set
tled, a very grave and doubtful ques
tion."

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN NEW BILLS SOON
Change of Design Will Mark Es
tablishment of Federal
Reserve Banks
By Associated Press
Washington, June 17.—Millions of
dollars worth of paper money of a
new type will be put into circulation
upon the establishment of the Federal
Reserve banks within the next few
weeks.
Under the Federal Reserve Bank
act, each of the twelve federal re
serve bank will receive advances from
the Federal Reserve Board in the
form of federal reserve notes, a dis
tinctly new sort of paper money.
Commercial paper will be collateral
advanced by the various banks as se
curity for these banks.
Comptroller of the Currency AVil
liams has samples of this new paper
money now under consideration. At
his request, Joseph E. Ralph, director
of the Bureau ol' Engraving and Print
ing, prepared noted of $5, $lO, S2O,
SSO and SIOO denominations and these
have been submitted to Secretary Me-
Adoo. It is not likely, however, that
the samples will be oflicinlly accepted
until the members of the Federal Re
serve Board have been confirmed by
the Senate and can confer with Sec
retary McAdoo and Comptroller Wil
liams concerning the new 'notes.
The new $5 note submitted by Mr.
Ralph is typical of agriculture. The
portrait on the face of the note is Lin
coln's and the back shows a harvesting
machine and allegroical figures typi
cal of farming. The $lO note bears a
portrait of Cleveland and a manufac
turing scene. The S2O note bears
Jackson's portrait and is typical of
commerce, having a steamship, train
and other mediums of trade on the
back. Grant's picture is shown on the
SSO note and Franklin's portrait
adorns the SIOO bill. Both of these
larger bills are typical of the arts.
All the bills will be printed in green
ink on the back while black ink will
be used on the face.
Dr. Brumbaugh Guest
of Honor at Bucknell
Special to The Telegraph
Lewisburg, Pa., June 17. —The
twenty-fifth anniversary of the presi
dency of Dr. John Howard Harris was
celebrated here at the sixty-fourth
commencement of Bucknell Univer
sity. The ceremonies were under the
direction of the Board of Trustees
and the alumni. Preceding the exer
cises in commencement hair a proces
sion of the trustees, faculty, alumni,
i senior class and guests marched from
Bucknell Hall.
The guest of honor, Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, Republican nominee for
Governor of Pennsylvania, made the
principal address, in which he paid a
high tribute to Dr. Harris for his emi
nent success as a leading educator of
the State and Nation.
Dr. Harris paid the visitor a high
tribute when he said in a short speech
of acceptanee of a portrait of himself,
presented by the senior class, "I have
known Dr. Brumbaugh for 30 years,
and I want to say that he is a man of
the highest character, a most splendid
intellect and the greatest consecration
to the public welfare of any man I
have ever met."
In his speech Dr. Brumbaugh de
! dared that the humanism af our mod
ern day is displacing the scholasticism
of an earlier period of our civilization.
He pointed out that the chief function
of a university to-day is to "humanize
the mind." No part of Dr. Brum
baugh's speech was devoted to politics.
He followed out his • announced pro
gram that ho believes his canvas for
the Governorship of Pennsylvania
should be conducted through his edu
cational friends throughout the State.

Seized With Acute Indigestion;
Prominent in Republican
Circles
News reached this city at noon to
day of the death at York, Pa., of
Charles F. Moyer, 49 years old, ot Mil
lersburg, for many yeurs State Repub
lican committeeman from Dauphin

spending a short time at York on busi
' ness. Last evening he went to a York
amusement park and on returning was
' taken suddenly ill with acute indiges
tion. He got off the street car on
which he was riding and sat down on
a doorstep in West Market street. He
was found by the people living within
j the house and was taken into the
home. Dr. Z. C. Myers was called, but
Mr. Moyer died a few minutes after
the physician's arrival.
News of the former committeeman's
death came as a shock to his many
friends in this city and Millersburg.
He was prominent in Republican clr-
I cles in this county for years. Surviv
ing him are his wife and three chil
dren, Philip S. Moyer, this city; Mrs.
John E. Lenker, Sunbury, and Mi.ss
Violet E. Moyer, Millersburg.

MOUNT ULSSENTS
OF VOLCANIC iTURE
What Is Happening There Today
Happened Century Before
American Revolution
By Associated Press
San Francisco, June 17.—What is
happening within Mount Lassen to
day appears to be what happened
there when Cinder Cone was formed,
! ten miles northwest of Passen peak,
j about a century before the American
Revolution. Perhaps the foremost au
thority on Mount Lassen is J. H. Dil
i ler, of the United States Geological
| Survey, now on his way to the moun
. j tain by order of the government. Hif
reports on the aspect and forma-
I I tion of Cinder Cone show striking re-
I semblances to the present activities,
i Ever since the Lassen territory was
j thoroughly explored, geologists ex
j pected that if another eruption evet
I came in this country it would break
j through the earth's crust soinewhert
I along the lassen ridge. About a cen
tury after Cinder Cone came into be
ing. and almost the some length ol
time before these latest outbreaks
there was a second eruption In which
the core of lava within the cone bursi
in asunder and overflowed in a wide
field, piecing the level surface or
which there still stands a blackened
tree green then.
