regard the McCurdy menace aspractically disposed of Whenever theydeem it expedient so to do they areconfident of their ability to oust fromthe company President McCurdy andall of the officers Identified with Mc-Curdyism In the Mutual

Tho one great problem that now confronts them they declare is to preventthe Mutual Life when tho time comesto oust McCurdy from falling Into thecontrol of Thomas F Ryan and JamesStillman president of the National CityDank and the chief financier of theStandard Oil group of capitalists

OH group was one of tho trustees atyesterdays meeting He was one ofsix men who voted against the reportof the committee being made publicEighteen of the trustees voted In favorof publicity

Mr Rogers backed up what Is knownas the First National Bank crowd inthe Mutual and Is regarded as the ac-tive head of a scheme to throw thecontrol of Mutual Life when theMcCurdys been ousted Into th rhands of James Stillman and Thomas FRyan

In of this condition within thecompany It is not the purpose of thosewho are working for genuine reformto bring the McCurdy regime to an enduntil of their plans have been perfected for filling the places made vacantwith men who will not be under the control of Stillman and Ryan
