THE EQUITABLE LEAGUE.
Its Charter Declared Forfeited and
Receivers VIII BE Named.

Judge Harlan. sitting as judge of the su-
perior court at Baltimore yesterday. handed
down his anxiously awaited decision in the
quo warranto suit of the state against the
Equitable League of America. The decision
is total defeat for the league, as the
Judge held that its charter had been for
feited, and that receivers should be APP
pointed to wind up its affairs.
The suit was brought by Attorney Gen.
eral Poe at the instance of Governor
Brown to decide whether the league had
abused it's corporate privileges. The main
point was whether il had failed to comply
with insurance laws, or rather, whether il
was liable for having violated them by
exceeding its charter rights, and should
therefore be wound up by a receivership.
The membership of the league now num-
bers $500, distributed throughout Mary
land. New York, New Jersey, Vermont,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Alabam
Ohio. Illinois and the District of Columbia.
