LIFE INSURANCE.

The RECEIVER of the Columbia Life
Charges the Life Association with
rOOkedness 10 the Amount Of $780,
900.
ST.. LOUIS, DeceMber 2S.-L. e. Al
exander, receiver Of the Columbia Life
Insurance company, has filed petit
ton in the circuit court which alleges
that the Life Association Of America,
desiring to get control of the business
of the Columbia Life Insurance com
pany, brought up II majority of the
Columbia stock, and then had all the
board OF directors Of the Columbia to
resign and filled by persons holding
similar places In the board of the Lille
Association. A list of some two
thousand eight hundred policy hold
ers of the Columbi were examined by
a physician charged with that duty,
and old aud infirm subjects were re-
iected. Those who were considered
desirable risks were then insured IN
the Life Association, and in payment
10 the Life Association for giving Its
policies in lieu Of those OF the Column
bia Life policies large list of assets
were transferred from the Columbia TO
the Life Association. The same men
who ordered the transfer were direc-
tors of the Life Association, which re-
ceiye the benefits OF the assets trans
ferred. This is all said to have been
done with the knowledge that the
Columbia was insolvent and Ia expec-
tation of u proceeding soon to be begun
by the insurance department to wind
up the Columbia. The prayer Is for
the cancellation Of the transfers OF
assets and for their return to the re-
eeiyer of the Columbia. The amount
involved is about $4,000.
