Drawn Improperly, and Demurrers to it Sustained. New York, March $. Thirty-two de- murrers filed by various directors and other offlclals-of the Suitable Life As- surance Society were sustained by the APPente Division of the nVt1" VlllBlVU VI 111, DUinWUf Court yesterday. Attorney General! Jackson had been suing the directors to compel them to refund money alleged 6 to have been lost by the society through the negligence or malfeasance of the directors during the Hyde regime, The effect of the decision will be to ants named in the Attorney-General's complaint the court Hold, there 1. i nothing in tht rtnrmnf they profited personally from the acts which are alleged to have caused losses to the Equitable, and that their sole onence, any, was negligence.

The Attorney-General must now either discontinue his suit against a large number of the directors or amend his complaint and sue each separately. In all there were forty-nine defendants to the suit and each demurred separately to the complaint alleged that it was drawn improperly and joined together many causes of action. Justice Llughlin, who writes the opinion of the Court, says that the law as it existed when the action was begun precludes any action for money damages against any director because of losses sustained through the wrong ful acts of officers of the company, with which these directors had nothing to do. He is also of the opinion that as to other directors, who were officers. many of the allegations contained In the complaint fall far short of stating causes of action ua which a recovery jean be predicated.

As to the sweeping allegations con cerning the great losses sustained by the society hrough loans and advances made to agents and others, Justice Laughlin rules that the complaint fails to set forth that any of the defendants made their profits while acting as officers of the society. Concerning the allegation that ten of the defendants profited througn the merger of the Western National Bank with hte National Bank of the United States, to the great loss of the society. Justice Laughlin finds that there Is nothing to show that those defendants were acting for the society when they made these profits, if they did make them. As to the allegations of losses sustained through loans by the Mer cantile Trust Co. to Alexander and Jor flan.

Justice Laughlin dismisses them with the comment that there can bt no cause of action, since it Is admitted tiist the loans have been repaid. In the case of the $250,000 loan to the De-pew Improvement Company, It Is pointed out that some of the defendants went sureties for It, and there Is noth ing to show, that their solvency is doubted. Justice Ingraham, who writes a concurring opinion, says: somewhat remarkable position taken by the Attorney-General, that all he has to allege is his conclusion that the directors have done something that he thinks Is wrong and that thereupon all those agaihst whom he has pro-he is entitled to a judgment directing ceeded to account for their official aots as such directors, is not sustained by any of the provisions of the statute, of by any rule of law or procedure of which we have knowledge."

(From Saturdays City Edition?) school building this morning to discuss plans for the next convention which will very likely be held in Rutland October 15-17. The committee consists of Principal Isaac Thomas of Burlington, Supt. B.

E. Merriam of Bellows Falls and Prin. E. G. Ham of Randolph.

The matter of date had been settled upon some months ago by the committee but the place had not been agreed upon.

The long contested ballot boxes containing the votes cast in the McClellan-Hearst mayoralty election in November, 1905, moy be opened, provided the assailants to Mayor McClellan's title to office can show that they have not been tampered with since the election.

Collinwood yesterday came to a full realization of her woe. Slowly and solemnly the processions of the dead began to wend their way toward the cemeteries, bearing the charred remains of some of the 167 children whose lives were snuffed out in Wednesday morning's catastrophe to the Lake View achool. From nine o'clock in the morning until dusk there was no cessation In the funeral corteges. Those who had no dead to mourn as a personal loss stood in the streets with bared heads as the grim processions passed. There was scar cely a dry eye in Collinwood.

One of the sad fungrals was that of the three children of Janitor Hirter' held jointly with the services for the other little ones. Mutterings sgainst the janitor could be beard about the village as grief erased parents sought an object upon which to wreak vengenance, for getting as they did that Hirter himself was walking with bowed head and broken heart behind the biers of three of his beloved. A detail of police was placed about the Hirter home when the hour for the funeral came. Fully BOO persons had gathered but when the coffins were carried to the doorway the crowd spread and opened the way for them without protest or expression of hostility. Although there were 60 burials yesterday and today the grewsome task will be repeated.

Sunday will witness the last of the Individual burials and on Monday the remains of all those who are unidentified will be laid to rest with one funeral. there are 28 of these bundles of flesh that await claimants. At the continued session of the coroner's inquest yesterday two of the teachers told of their unavailing attempts to open one of the double doors at the rear which they said was locked.

And Too Little Money in the Patent Office Says Currier, March 7. Startling statements affecting the work of the United States patent office were made in an Interview yesterday by Representative Currier of New Hampshire, chairman of the house committee on patents. That the work of the patent office, involving property rights worth millions of dollars, la in many cases Improperly done; that patents have been granted which never should have been granted? and that the office has degenerated Into a post-graduate school where the graduates of technical schools work only long enough to perfect an eduoation, are some of the oharges made by the chairman of the committee on patents. "I say these things," declared Mr. Currier, "because I know them to be true.

The trouble comes from the fact that the force which is charged with the tremendous duty of passing on applications for patents must do work In a few hours which lawyers do only In two or three weeks. The press of work Is something fearful. In addition to this, the force is always changing because the salaries are so pitifully small that they cannot keep the mnn In the service. "The only remedy for the constant changing In the office, which Is detrimental to the service, Is higher pay. Salaries in the patent office must be made big enough to satisfy the pi en to make the work a life-long service The committee on patents has, such a bill now pending before the house."

It Is an Ingrained habit of every Englishman to stay in bed as long as he possibly can, and even longer. If you go out in the streets of London, ai ociook in tne morning you wlli find that the shutters of a large pro- portion of the shops are still hiding the goods that should be on show in the windows. The impetuous foreign commis voyageur.

who is accustomed to having done half a day's business by o'clock In the morning, fumes and frets outside many of the establishments till 10: SO or 11 because no one Is ready to do business with him at that time. The wholesale businesses are opened by the employees at say 9, but tne principals are not ready to re ceive vwiiors until tney nave gone through their voluminous morning's mall, and It Is generally 11 o'clock be-bore Cerberus at the door relaxes his vigilance. Women In American cities as well as tat towns on the continent are aotlvely engaged 'at It o'clock in the morning doing their rounds of shopping. Here It is seldom that ladles are aeen out in the morning at all bent on auch expedition unless It be after 10: to to do some extra marketing for a dinner party or a reception requiring personal attention. The great crush at places like Barrod's stores, the Army and Wavy stores.

D. H. Evans Co. Marshall Snelgrove and Peter Robinson's Is at its height at about noon, whereas the corresponding hour In New Tork is at least 60 minutes earlier. We seldom have breakfast in the average London house before I o'clock, and that, being an elastic meal, may run on until it is time to dear the table for lunch.

We get. up late uni we go to bed late. Tou are always fairly safe to find the average man who is not oppressed too much by business cares still out of bed at midnight Theatre at 8:30 or 9 o'clock and supper at one of the reetaurants at 1:30 are not conducive to the carrying out of the ancient motto: "Early to bed, early to rise, make a man healthy, wealthy and wise." The one thing that oreates Intense irritation than any other Is the fact that the lights in the restaurants are turned out irrevocably at It: 30 in the morning, and thus force revelers out into the cold air to be sent straight home whether they like it or not. This irritation Is increased on Saturday night, when by reason of the grandmotherly laws appertaining her the lights turn themselves ont half an hour earlier; and on the one night in the week when people are Inclined to stay up later than usual they are sent home at the moment when supper has come on the table. In this' respect London Is becoming worse, If possible, than it was before, for some years ago there were a few places open where the night owl could go and finish his meal In peace without the official ban of the police, but, ae in all such cases, the reputation of the resorts began to suffer very soon.

There are now few "last resorts" un less It be olubs where one cannot take ladles. One or two of the ladies' clubs in Plccadlly are reaping an Immense harvest from the exclusion of visitors from the restaurants, but that is about all. 1 OVERCOME BY GAS, Four Died and Ten Taken to Hospital for Treatment, Baltimore, March 7.
