THE RICHMOND PALLADIU3I AND SUX-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 190S. PAGE THREE. IMPAIRED CAPITAL fSTOCK DANGEROUS ! TO POLICYHOLDERS Auditor Billheimer Believes So And Will More Critically Ex amine This Feature of An nual Insurance Reports. INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE OF COMPANIES. When the Swollen Values of Real Estate of the Compan ies Are Given, Auditor Will Order Examination. That the annual statements of life nsuranee companies will be studied more earefully this year than in any previous year, is the declaration made by John C. Hillhcimer, auditor of state. Mr. Billheimer believes that carelessness oil the part of such, com panies iu allowing their capital stock to become impain-d is a dangerous tiling for the companies and for the policyholders, and that such methods may have serious results;. Ho will make careful investigation to see 10 it that the assets of the insurance com panies are not given in at fictitious values and will insist on having a Matement that represents the actual condition of the company. Some of the statements of the life in surance companies have already been received. These have been examined closely and it is understood that in Borne cases an individual investigation Is to be made. One common error is 1 hat of giving in at swollen values the real estate owned by insurance compa nies. It is easy enough to cover up an impairment of capital stock by placing real estate at a high value. This year when it seems that a com pany is placing its real estate at an unusually high mark, an investigation will be made. If it is shown that the capital stock is impaired, steps will be taken to correct this condition. "The danger of having an impaired capital stock." said Mr. Billheimer, "is apparent. The company may get along fairly well under ordinary cir cumstances but suppose it is compelled 1o face an epidemic or some other con dition which causes a high death rate. It is theu that it may be necessary for it to have its full capital stock in order to stem the tide. Of course the legal reserve Is supposed to protect the pol icyholders. But the legal reserve is based on a mortality table which is computed on a normal death rate. If the death rate should happen to be above the average, the legal reserve would not be sufficient to guard the in terests of the policyholders." THEY KNOW IT. Thousands of people know that the ordinary remedies for Piles oint ments, suppositories, etc. will not cure. Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid is a tab let taken internally that removes the cause of Piles, hence the cure is per manent. Guarantee with every pack age. It is perfectly harmless. $1.00. Jjeo H.

A system of effective espionage has been establish ed by the street car strikers, aided by various labor unions whereby even the occasional passenger on a street car is now detected and, in general, in duced to agree not to attempt again to ride on a street or interurban car. tome men who have real need of street cars thought to evade the spies by boarding cars and dismounting from them at corners remote from the business district, but almost invariab ly they have been spotted and after ward visited by a committee which represented to them that their future patronage of the street cars would mean a loss of business.

Tokyo, January 23 Viscount Ilaya shi, Japanese Minister of Foreign Af fairs, in an interview, made this state ment concerning the emigration ques tion, which may be considered as an official declaration of the attitude of the Government: "The Government of Japan is deter mined to investigate the personal standing of those that go 1o America as students, requiring two sureties be fore they leave. The Government real izes that the emigration of laborers pretending to be students is liable to be embarrassing to America and there fore we are determined to prevent the emigration of laborers. "Although the negotiations with America have not yet been coucluded, I may make the definite statement, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the rumors which have been circulated to the effect that any important question is pending between America and Japan is a fabrication, originating in a sec tion of the United States. "Resolutions condemning the Gov ernment's attitude are unfair, because we have adopted a definite policy, and any agitation on our part will intensi fy the suspicion in the United States and result to our disadvantage." The Progressive and Yuko parties have formally presented in the Diet a motion of want of confidence in the Imperial Cabinet, based on the al leged faulty financial measure. TRACTION LINE FAILS TOJ-END ITS AID Property Owners Will Not Now Pay. New Castle, Ind., January 20 The action of the City Council several years ago iu relieving the Terre Haute, Indianapolis &. Eastern Traction Com pany of ali expense of paving streets on which it had tracks has resulted in appeals to the courts. A paving clause was in the original franchise, but was stricken out at the request of the traction company. As a result one suit is pending in the Appellate Court and there is another suit in the Circuit Court. Fifty-five property owners on South Fourteenth street, which was recently paved with bithulithic and cement j walks put down, have filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against the town of New Castle, the Council individually, the T. II., I. E. Traction company and the Western Construction company to prevent the collection of the assessment for the paving and sidewalks. They base ; their complaint on the fact that when the paving was agreed on the Couucil passed a resolution to compel the trac tion company to pay its share of the paving expense. noree Tel. 2062 Dome Tel. 2062 Eastbound Chicago- Cincinnati Have you noticed the Improved serv ice to Chicago via the C, C. &.

Richmond is eating more peanuts this winter than was ever known in the history of the peanut in the Hoos ier State, according to a dealer in nuts and confections. "Xo, it's not on account of hard times," he laughed. "People bave been learning how to eat peanuts, gradual ly, and the increase in the amount con sumed has been gradual. "It used to be that the chief time of sale for peanuts was in the summer. The peanut was always associated with a circus or a picnic or some other function of the kind, maybe with a ral ly or an old settler's meeting. To this day there are three grades of pea nuts that take their name from the occasions where they wer in treat, demand. We have tiie "Jumbos," which suggest a circus; the 'Blowouts and the 'Picnic' variety. More accur ately, thoueh. the Jumbo is named on account of its size. Besides these grades there are 'hand picks' and 'sec onds' and 'polished.' A better grade of peanuts is being sold in the shell than ever before.
