THE NEW INSURANCE LAW.
Governor Porter Finally Approves the New
Bill-A Staggerer for the Assessment
and Graveyard Companies.

The Governor yesterday approved the new
life insurance bill, and it is now a law. Consider
able interest has been manifested in his action
ternities drought the State, and pending its
consideration numerous kilograms were re-
ceived urging him to veto the bill, as it was
feared that under the common Interpretation of
section 19 it would seriously interfere with the
working of the Masonic Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton. The section in question reads:
"The provisions of this act shall in no case
apply to any secret or fraternal society or lodge
or association which, under the supervision of n
grand or supreme lodge, secures its membership
through the lodge system exclusively and pro-
vides insurance to its members"
A mmit of gentlemen representing tho
Masonic organization of the State, including
Colonel R. S. Robertson. of Fort Wayne; I. c..
Huntin, of Terre Haute; Ii. II. Lancaster, Austin
H. Brown, James W. Hess, A. D. Lynch, Judge
Elliott, of the Supreme Bench, and Judge R. S.
Taylor, were in consultation with the Governor
yesterday, and carefully considering the some
what ambiguous section. The conclusion was
reached that it did not apply to any secret or
fraternai society" Governor Porter deciding
that by punctuating 1t with a semi-colon after
the word society" the benevolent or fraternal
associations would he exempt. The COM
mittee agreed with him in this view,
and the bill was signed. The section
will not affect the insurance organizations Of
the Odd Fellows, knights of Pythias, and 9TH
ers which are under the control of grand OF SUI
preme lodges. The Masonic Mutual Benefit So
ciety, however. is distinctly separated from the
grand lodge of the order, and 1t was upon this
point that the question arose. The apprehen-
sions of the friends of the society were quieted
and the matter satisfactorily adjusted by the
Governors insertion Of the seini-cOlon, which he
uses with a wise discrimination.
