Interest.
AooIdent Insuranoe Frauds.

Accident Insurance Frauds.
The superintendent of insurance has
received many inquiries regarding the
standing of accident insurance compa-
MES doing business in Kansas.
There are a number OF ssessment
accident insurance companies doing an
underground" business in this state
that could under no circumstances be
admitted to Kansas. They food the
state with circulars, offering a policy
agreeing to pay a large idemnity in
case of accident at a very small premi-
UNI, and there are a number of persons
who have patronized these concerns to
their present sorrow.
These companies have no capital and
very meager assets and can not be sued
in this state. The payment of loss or
damages is optional with them, as a
judgment can rarely be collected.
There is no need of patronizing these
worthless concerns, for the superintend-
emit of insurance has issued certificates
of authority TO eight regular stock ac-
cident companies that have a large paid
up capital and who can be sued in the
Kansas courts.
Every company that is authorized by
the superintendent of insurance is COM
PEELED to file power of attorney APP
pointing the su Perintendent of insur-
ance of the state of Kansas to accept
service of summons upon the company.
The worthless accident policies are
generally disposed of to the poorer
classes, who can the least afford to be
swindled.
The superintendent of insurance
would take it as favor to be notified
whenever any agent of these unauthor-
lied companies solicits business, SO that
he can institute proceedings against
them if this underground insurance
business is not broken up.

enough money on hand to buy even post
