Kansas Because IL Dares to
Contest n Claim.

Topeka, Eas., May 20.-(Special) State
Insurance Commissioner McNall to-day re-
voked the license of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, of New York, because
it refuses to pay the death loss to the
heirs of the late Pertha L. Emory. of Kan
sas City, Kas., on a policy alleged to have
been obtained by fraud and misrepresenta-
tion. McNall was asked to assist in the
collection of the policy few days ago and
he wrote the company instructing it to
pay the loss at once. The company re-
fused to do so, on the grounds stated
above. To-day McNall wrote as follows
to Haley Fiske. vice president of the Met
ropolitan company:
Dear Sir:-l have received a communi-
cation, dated May 15. concerning the claim
policy IS. $685. OO1. and $500 I also note that
NoT say that YOU will not pay the death
loss acCruing upon such policy, as request
ed by this department and that the parties
are at liberty to sue as soon as they see
fit; that you propose to contest said claims
made false and fraudulent representations
to your company at the time the aforesaid
policies were issued.
Permit me to say that I know OF no
reason why you should not contest every
policy in existence in this state upon which
you will be required by this department to
refrain from doing business in this state;
hence. I have this day revoked your au-
thority to do business in this state by Nir-
tue of the license granted to you on the
